The Bureau of Economic Analysis released data on Friday revealing that prices increased 0.6 percent in the past month. Consumer spending, however, skidded 0.1 percent in April compared to March, just as stimulus money... read more

North Korea Is Sweating: 5 Weapons the U.S. Marines Need to Beat Kim Jong Un*Kyle Mizokami* *U.S. Marines, Asia* No matter how well-armed, the casualties would be terrible. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In any Korean peninsula assault, the U.S. Marine Corps will be leading the charge and they'll need to be well equipped. In the event of a conflict on the Korean Peninsula, U.S. and South Korean forces will root and and destroy the regime of Kim Jong-un. The need to properly secure the country’s weapons of mass destruction will necessitate an invasion of North Korea, much of which will come by sea.

FOX'S COVERAGE OF ELECTION RETURNS HASN'T BEEN POLITICIZED -- BUT IT WILL BE NOWFox News has been in the tank for the Republican Party since its inception, but its coverage of election returns has always been surprisingly straightforward and honest. In 2012, Fox's decision desk called the presidential race in Ohio for Barack Obama with 73% of the vote counted. When that call was made, Karl Rove freaked out on the air. Megyn Kelly, a Fox anchor at the time, walked on camera to the backroom where the numbers were being crunched, and was told that the analysts stood by their call. They were right. Rove was wrong. In 2020, again with 73% of the vote counted, the Fo... read more

Biden wants $2 Trillion for infrastructureWho owns U.S. Infrastructure? Not the federal government. So with a $2 Trillion request from Biden for something it doesn't own, where is the money going? State and local governments and the private sector own 97% of the nation’s nondefense infrastructure, and they fund 94% of it. This is just a "green new deal" tax. In other words, a pay back to unions, oligarchs and party hacks for getting Biden into office. Who Owns U.S. Infrastructure? | Cato Institute read more

"The Destruction of Civil Society"
*"The Destruction of Civil Society"* By Bill Bonner "This month, we look at a number of dots, all grouped… like a constellation far out in space… as “The Great Reset.” The various planets and stars seem so “far out,” we have a hard time believing that it will ever really affect our lives. A switch to windmills rather than internal combustion engines… eating bugs rather than steaks… getting permission to travel, rather than traveling freely… compulsory anti-racist training… gender studies for six-year-olds… government spending nearing 50% of GDP… Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)… and do... read more

The Problem of Parent Centered Education
Teacher gag laws spreading across the country are generally billed as anti-CRT, but of course their reach is much broader than that, forbidding discussion of "controversy" and outlawing any teaching that might make students "uncomfortable" or be "divisive." The debate--well, actually not a lot of real debate because GOP legislators are using their majorities to just ram these bills through--even highlights apparent splits in the reformy astroturf community. This week the National Parents Union was in Tulsa to march in commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre (a topic that now pro... read more

North Korea Can Try to Shoot Down an F-35. But Can It Make the Mark?*Charlie Gao* *F-35 Stealth Fighter, Asia* If the ROKAF already has air-to-air and air-to-ground covered, where does the F-35A fit in the picture? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *South Korea hopes to eventually buy forty F-35As and should have ten F-35As by the end of the year. The ROKAF, South Korea’s Air Force received their first F-35A fighter jets in April 2019. The ROKAF hopes to eventually buy forty F-35As and should have ten F-35As by the end of the year.

Video Time: The F-35 Fighter Can Unleash a Scary Number of Missiles*Mark Episkopos* *F-35, * The F-35 is one of the best warplanes out there. But if it does not need to be stealthy, it can be configured to carry a lot more weapons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-35 is compatible with several weapon layouts to accommodate a wider range of tactical scenarios. The “stealth” configuration consists of four AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles for air-to-air missions, or a mixture of four AIM-120’s/GBU-31 JDAM “smart bombs” for air-to-ground missions, all loaded into the F-35’s internal armaments bay. A recently leaked video sheds light on one of the F... read more

This Shaky Russian Submarine Could Easily Kills Billions of People in Minutes*Caleb Larson* *Russia, * “Russia, for a day, was on the brink of the biggest catastrophe since the time of Chernobyl...” The Delta-class IV submarines have quite a few unique distinctions under their belts.

Russia and China's Worst Nightmare: Underwater Navy Aircraft Carriers*Peter Suciu* *U.S. Navy, * In effect, the Navy could soon have what amounts to a drone-style mothership or an underwater aircraft carrier, in some respects. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. Navy has also explored ways that drones could help to resupply submarines at sea. It tested such a platform earlier this the year, in which a large quadcopter-type drone could deliver small payloads to a surfaced submarine. California-based AeroVironment Inc. has been selected by the Department of Defense (DoD) to produce up to 120 of its Blackwing drones, which can be deployed f... read more
