"Hang In There..."
“Using time, pressure and patience, the universe gradually changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds. You’re being worked on too, so hang in there. Just because something isn’t apparent right now, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It’s not until the end do you realize, sometimes your biggest blessings were disguised by pain and suffering.

Psychoanalysis? Or a caricature of "woke" intellectual pretension?
I present, for your edification (?), the abstract of an article in the April 2021 issue of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, titled "On Having Whiteness". Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one *has*—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which “white” people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, generating characteristic ways of being in one’s body, in one’s mind, and in one’s world. Parasitic Whiteness renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse. These deformed appetites particularly ta... read more

The Truth About Defunding PoliceOne year ago, thousands of people engaged in protest in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by a Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer.

Police in this country are a law unto themselves, killing and brutalizing at will, and rarely being called to account. Often these fatal encounters occur after minor offenses are committed or in the case of black people, when a call for assistance instead leads to death. The premise of defunding police is well intentioned but faulty. In the... read more

Turkey’s Altay Tank: Will It Really Be Ready for War This Year?*Mark Episkopos* *Turkey, Middle East* It is difficult to see how the Altay can make it into service by Ankara’s optimistic projection of 2021. Turkey is forging ahead with ambitious plans to field a fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT). Ankara’s interest in designing a next-generation MBT stems back to the 1990s. The project, spearheaded by Turkish automotive giant Otokar, sought to domestically produce a cutting-edge tank with extensive participation from local Turkish defense manufacturers. The Altay tank is a patchwork design, stitched together from the contribution... read more

Educating the Unreadable Heart
The ongoing debate about teaching about race and history is a reminder of one of the fundamental challenges of education in a free society-- we may want to reach hearts and minds, but we can't read them. The twins just turned four, and we are at one of the magical stages of childhood-- the Lie Your Tiny Ass Off stage. It's not that they are morally or ethically impaired, exactly. It's just that they've learned that there are "correct" answers to certain questions. If I ask, "Did you wash your hands," they know that I'm looking for a "yes." So why not give me what I want?

What Does Joe Biden Think About a Fourth Stimulus Check?*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Check News, * [image: Stimulus Check Money] In short, while the political objections to a fourth check are very strong, perhaps insurmountable, the moral case for one remains relatively strong. After the recent Memorial Day recess, many members of Congress have returned to work with a focus on helping Biden to pass his twin infrastructure and pandemic relief bills, the American Families Plan and American Jobs Plan. These two bills would spend roughly $4 trillion over the following decade fixing American infrastructure and expanding the social safety ne... read more

Either way is no problem for the F-22. *Here's What You Need To Know: *Numerous upgrades have ensured that this decades-old jet fighter remains the most powerful air dominant platform in air-to-air superiority. What is the reason why so many regard the now decades-old F-22 Raptor as the most dominant air dominance platform when it comes to air-to-air superiority? The answer partly resides in the fact that today’s F-22 stealth fighter is quite different from the aircraft which first emerged in 1997. The larges... read more

A Fourth Stimulus Check Is Needed. Here Is the Case (And the Odds)*Eli Fuhrman* *U.S. Economy, Americas* There are reasons to believe that the economic recovery is not yet complete and that it has yet to reach some Americans. The IRS is continuing to distribute the third round of direct federal stimulus payments worth up to $1,400 to eligible Americans. To date, the IRS has sent out almost 167 million payments worth a total of roughly $391 billion, and it now appears likely that the campaign to distribute the payments is almost at its end.

As one of only a handful of currently-serving fourth-generation MBTs, it is also among the most sophisticated. In the 1990s, Seoul set out to procure a next-generation MBT.

The Case for Selfishness with Stimulus Checks*Stephen Silver* *economy, Americas* Many people are ingrained to see government funds as “taxpayer money,” and for certain uses of that money as a “waste” of it. The idea behind the stimulus checks that have passed since the start of the pandemic, including two in 2020 and one in 2021, is that putting cash directly in the hands of Americans will get them to spend that money, and therefore help the economy. In addition, the checks and other aid passed as part of the packages is meant to prevent hardship and make people's lives better- and there are indications that this has succe... read more

The Consequences of Constantine’s ConversionPersia was a rival of the Roman Empire since the third century BC. When Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in 312 AD, the Persians started regarding Christianity as a Roman religion. While Constantine had not made Christianity a state religion, his personal ambition was to be the protector of all Christians, including those who were living outside the borders of the Roman Empire. He adopted a strident attitude towards Persia, which was then being ruled by the Sasanian dynasty (224-651 AD) who were Zoroastrian. Zoroastrianism was deeply rooted in Persia, having arrive... read more

The Navy Is Misleading A Maryland Community On PFAS DangersThe Navy claims to have "mitigated the release" of approximately 2,500 gallons of AFFF with community partner METCOM. The reality is, however, that METCOM delivers wastewater “to a number of different treatment facilities for proper treatment and disposal." This means that the 2,500 gallons made its way to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). It is a well-established fact that the WWTP process does not remove PFAS from discharge effluent and/or sewage sludge/biosolids.
