How a Stealth F-22 Raptor Flew Right Under an Old Iranian Fighter Jet
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *F-22, Middle East* Iran’s air force is very badly outgunned. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *It would be interesting to know how the Raptors managed to remain in stealth. Did the pilots use radar? Were they vectored by an AWACS? Back in 2013, Pentagon press secretary George Little said that an Iranian air force F-4 Phantom combat plane attempted to intercept a U.S. MQ-1 Predator drone flying through international airspace near Iran. As we reported back then, one of the two F-4 Phantom jets — in service in Iran since the Shah — came to about 16 miles from ...
Your Stimulus Check Can't Be Taken by Debt Collectors In This State
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Payment, * [image: Stimulus Payment Debt] New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation last week that will prevent private debut collectors from garnishing coronavirus stimulus money. Not long after Congress passed the American Rescue Plan in March, some noticed that the law did not have a provision that kept private debt collectors from garnishing the bill’s $1,400 stimulus checks. When the CARES Act passed in early 2020, such garnishments were forbidden. The stimulus checks cannot be garnished by unpaid federal debts or back taxes, although private ...
How Americans Get Their News
A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 16 hours ago
There is little doubt that we live in a post-truth era, particularly when it comes to governments and their mainstream media lackeys. The reportage during the ongoing pandemic and the 2020 United States presidential election is proof that we can no longer trust the media for independent and thoroughly researched news coverage. Given these observations, in this posting, we'll look at which sources of news Americans rely on for their daily intake of events that are occurring around the world. In mid-2020, Pew Research Center completed a survey looking at where Americans get t...

1,000,000 Said No: Why Americans Keep Rejecting their Stimulus Payment
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Payment, * According to one poll conducted Federal Reserve Bank of New York, it suggested that U.S. consumers are saving forty-two cents of every dollar received from the third stimulus checks. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *For those Americans who do feel a little guilty about getting the latest stimulus check, be aware that there is nothing stopping a person from writing “void” in the endorsement section on the back of the check and then mailing it to an appropriate IRS office. The Internal Revenue Service may have already delivered hundreds of...
The Third Stimulus Payment Is Over: Will Biden Send You a Fourth?
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Fourth Stimulus Payment, * “Evidence from the last year shows stimulus checks to be the fastest and most impactful investments helping Americans get through this crisis, lifting more people out of poverty than any other single policy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *. The recovery hasn’t reached many Americans—the true unemployment rate for low-wage workers is estimated at over 20 percent and many people face large debts from last year for things like utilities, rent and child care. These are all reasons that checks need to be targeted to people who are st...
America Is Ill-Prepared for a Challenge from China
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *military, Asia* Modern militaries have a problem. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The longest-range, most precise and effective weapons in the world, fired from new generations of advanced platforms, may still fall short when it comes to destroying enemy air defenses. But what about sensors, computing and networks to ensure victory? After all, a weapon or attack platform may be of marginal use if it is not able to locate crucial time-sensitive emerging targets across vast areas of territory. While considered crucial in every war theater, the ability to strike ...
Good News! Essential Workers are Due for a New Stimulus Payment
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Plan, * The rule for the distribution of the stimulus funds also defines “essential work” as “work involving regular in-person interactions or regular physical handling of items that were also handled by others.” *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“The low pay of many essential workers makes them less able to cope with the financial consequences of the pandemic or their work-related health risks, including working hours lost due to sickness or disruptions to childcare and other daily routines, or the likelihood of COVID-19 spread in their households o...
When It Comes to the U.S. Air Force, Size Matters
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Air Force, * The Air Force ran a study that suggests it would need to increase its force size by 24 percent to meet America’s defense needs. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *All of this need is expressed within the broader context that Air Power will only continue to grow in importance as the threat of war against a major power adversary persists. Not only are the boundaries of possible warfare becoming more multi-domain with space, cyber and electronic warfare threats, but potential adversaries are now armed with fifth-generation fighters and even hyperson...

*Charlie Gao* *Singapore, Asia* Their forces are well-trained and armed with some of the best tech money can buy. Here's how the city-state works to stay strong and relevant. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* While it’s clear Singapore’s Air Force packs a significant air-to-air punch, its mission is not to just protect Singapore itself but its interests in the immediate region. Despite its small geographical size, Singapore fields one of the most advanced and well-equipped militaries in South East Asia. It spends more on its military than any of its neighbors.

Reliving the worst of the past – the American nightmare

A NEW POLL SUGGESTS THAT QANON IS THE FUTURE OF THE GOP
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 17 hours ago
Yesterday, CBS and YouGov released the results of a survey of self-identified Republicans. The key points: 80% of survey respondents who'd heard about Liz Cheney's removal from a leadership position in the House approved of the ouster. Given the choice of sounding like Trump cultists or merely loyal Republicans, they slightly favored the latter (52% said the ouster was good because Cheney "did not support Donald Trump," while 57% said it was good because "she's wrong about the election" and 69% say it's because she's "not on message with the party"; multiple responses were allowed)....

South Korea Wasn't Always a Submarine Powerhouse, But It Is Now
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Submarines, Asia* Seoul has built a good number of very well-made submarines. Here's how they help deter North Korea. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* After the completion of the KSS-II, South Korea wanted to craft its own design. The KSS-III is looking to be heavier and larger than the KSS-II and KSS-I. While South Korea is not known for its submarine fleet, it possesses a decent-sized, quietly capable fleet. The ultimate goal of the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) is to produce their own diesel-electric attack submarine. The current fleet is relatively modern a...

Saquatch ORBS

This is important. We have had multiple reports of orbs in association with ufos. But also in association with sasquatch sightings. Yet nothing that could be claimed as definitive. That has just changed. an observer walked up on a kneeling Sasquatch from behind and discovered him in obvious communion with an orb. when he reacted, the orb stayed with him. If the orb is a communication tool then this observation is effective proof that our sasquatch population is been perhaps even supplied. so far, we have little evidence that the orb shows up with other cryptids.

The DX-12 Punisher Shotgun Lives Up to It's Name (For All of the Wrong Reasons)
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Guns, * Ideally, a firearm would pose a danger only to its target and not its wielder. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In comparison to the Mossberg Shockwave, the gun looks supremely uncomfortable to hold for an extended period of time. To make the problem worse, the additional material around the barrels makes the DX-12 extremely bulky, and if filled in with working parts or a recoil mitigation mechanism would make the gun very front heavy, only compounding the problems with the grip. A render of a double-barrel shotgun by “HARDWAR3 INDUSTRIES” got some att...

*Charlie Gao* *Ammunition, * Every military wants more ways to win future wars. This is the story of a new kind of ammunition that has solved a long-time problem. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* As of yet, any adoption of MEA by any military is unknown. Russia appears to have adopted a new rifle and ammo that seems to have similar capabilities to MEA, in 5.45 caliber. Until recently, underwater firearms have been niche designs that were limited to the underwater role. Due to the effects of water on conventional firearms, most conventional firearms either cannot be fired safel...
