Joe Biden's Stimulus Check Problem
*Eli Fuhrman* *Stimulus, * Bonin’s petition now has over 2.3 million supporters, an increase of around 300,000 in the last month, and could become one of Change.org’s largest-ever petitions if it reaches 3,000,000 signatures. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A final petition takes a slightly different approach, calling for monthly payments of $2,000 specifically for unemployed Americans and for those making less than $130,000 per year. Support for this petition has more than doubled since early May, and it now has over 64,000 signatures. A number of online petitions calling f... read more
Could America Defeat North Korea Using Its Navy Alone?
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* Probably not (at least not without some outside help). *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Carrier strike groups tote an array of bombs and cruise missiles suitable for peppering North Korean targets. Yet it’s doubtful in the extreme that conventional fire would compel Pyongyang to abandon its fledgling nuclear stockpile, let alone terminate the regime or its armed forces altogether. How can the U.S. Navy destroy North Korea should Washington give the word? It can’t. Or at least it stands little chance of doing so by its lonesome barring improbab... read more

Forgotten History: Japan's Failed Submarine Attack at Pearl Harbor
*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II, Americas* Unlike the aerial attack, the submarines failed spectacularly. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Not everything went according to plan for Japan. On Dec. 7, 1941, the aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy rained devastation upon the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. But Japanese warplanes didn’t actually fire the first shots that brought America into a massive Pacific War. An hour before the air attack, a squadron of tiny Japanese midget submarines attempted to slip into the harbor’s defenses, like burglars in the night, to wrea... read more

COVID-19 Bioweapon Shots Continue to Kill and Cripple People Leaving Behind Devastated Families
While demand for the COVID-19 bioweapon shots is now waning, stories continue to come in about those who have decided to receive one of the injections and have paid the ultimate price for their decision: DEATH or crippling side effects. These stories are now becoming harder to find, so strong is the effort to censor them. Most of these deaths are being reported in the media with no mention of the fact that they received one of the bioweapon shots. For example, I recently had a frustrated sheriff deputy talk to me about how his department tried to strong-arm him into receiving one ... read more
REPUBLICANS THINK THEY'RE BULLETPROOF (AND THEY USUALLY ARE)
A couple of days ago, Senator Marsha Blackburn posted this on Twitter: While Americans suffered, Fauci wrote a book. — Sen.

A short (80-psge) book by Fauci, titled *Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward,* will be published by National Geographic Books in November, but Fauci didn't write it -- it will be be compiled from interviews Fauci gave in connection with a forthcoming documentary film.
