America Needs to Rethink How It Is Handling China’s Rise*Brian Clark* *China, World* Instead of a strategy of confrontation, America’s new approach should be centered around accommodation and restraint. China’s rise into a major world power has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since adopting liberal economic reforms in the early seventies, China’s economy has grown approximately ten percent per year, its life expectancy has gone up by 50 percent, and nearly all wargames now predict that Beijing would win if conflict broke out in Asia. China’s rise was expected. America not only supported it but was also a key participant. America... read more

The Government Doesn't 'Raid' Social Security. But It's Complicated.*Trevor Filseth* *economy, Americas* The current system is reliant on the U.S. government keeping its word and repaying the bonds it issues. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In theory, the U.S. government maintains the option to default. This would be an extremely poor decision, however, because other investors would see it and be far less willing to loan their own money to the government in the future. One of the most common accusations surrounding the government’s Social Security benefits programs is that the fund for Social Security is “raided” and used to pay for other go... read more

Not Just Deterrence: America's Ohio-Class Submarines Pack a Punch With Conventional Missiles*Sebastien Roblin* *Submarines, * They can do a lot more than just launch nukes. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Quite simply, the stealthy SSGNs can get closer to enemy coastlines without being detected, enabling them to hit targets further inland and to deliver a massive missile strike, while exposing themselves far less than a surface ship or aerial strike package. The Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarine (SSBN) was built to destroy cities and military installations in the event of a nuclear war—or more precisely, to deter adversaries from ever starting one. However, fo... read more

Censorship by Big TechI have moved this comment of mine from Facebook: "Democrats and their media buddies continue to blame Republicans for hesitancy to get the jab. Yet they were the ones sowing seeds of doubt about it when Trump was president--not because of science, but because of hate and they wanted to defeat him in the election. Also there are two groups that are always featured in low vaccination rates--1) blacks, and 2) health care workers. Democrats love to depict Republicans as knuckle dragging idiots who don't understand science. So what does that say about how Democrats think about blacks a... read more
