Tucker: Rittenhouse trial taught us this
The insanity of the allegations of racism in a trial where everyone involved was white shows how demented many on the mainstream media are. They are some of the same people who got the facts wrong on several elements of the case and the media fact-checkers were shown to be dead wrong. But Big Tech relied on the dead wrong fact-checkers to censor the truth. This trial has exposed the media and the left as a narrative-based group that ignores the facts to push their spin. read more

Genes, Race and Human History
“Analysis of genomes from around the world establishes that there is indeed a biological reality to race, despite the official statements to the contrary of leading social science organizations.” “Racism and discrimination are wrong as a matter of principle, not of science. Science is about what is, not what ought to be. Its shifting sands do not support values, so it is foolish to place them there.” ~ Nicholas Wade in *A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History* If you want to accuse someone (or something) of racism, then you should begin with the human genome which... read more
"Retailers Lining Store Shelves With Props To 'Hide Supply Shortage'"
*"Retailers Lining Store Shelves With * *Props To 'Hide Supply Shortage'"* by Tyler Durden "Americans are waking up to the fact that shortages of everyday products such as ice cream, frozen food, soda, chicken, spices, coffee, fish sticks, snacks, and toilet paper are popping up all over the country as supply chains remain heavily congested 19 months after the virus pandemic first began. Instead of leaving some store shelves bare, which might insight fear and buying panic among consumers, some stores are lining their empty shelves with meaningless items to appear as full as possible... read more

Not Cricket.
Ever since their post-holocaust interest in self-preservation, the Jews (Israelis) have been accused of “bringing it on themselves” (that is, by their so-called “treatment of” or “behaviour towards” the “Palestinians”) How easy it is to disregard their zealous commitment to the destruction of Israel. This may seem slightly off-topic, but I felt I had to say it because today’s parliamentary inquiry over racism made me think about the parallels between that and my ambivalent response to Azeem Rafiq’s testimony about institutional racism in cricket. Well, never mind cricket!! T... read more

Watch Vancouver in Canada. It's now completely cut off from the rest of the country
For 'preppers' in particular, and for everybody in general, keep your eye on what happens in Vancouver, Canada over the next few days and weeks. A major storm has blocked or destroyed literally every transportation route leading into the city - by road, rail and even (for the moment) by air. There is currently no way to drive between Vancouver and the rest of Canada. The Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley are now completely cut off from the rest of British Columbia and the country by road.

Should the United States Be Worried About China's Drones?
*Kris Osborn* *China Drones, Asia* It's leaning like no, but it doesn't mean the Pentagon should discard the threat altogether. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While it is certainly possible that Chinese robots are more capable in terms of autonomy than what may have appeared in the newspaper report, however advanced degrees of autonomy or man-machine networking were not mentioned as potential mission options presented by the robots. This leads to the question as to whether China can in fact truly compete with current U.S. Army unmanned systems technology. The visible Chine... read more
What Does the Pentagon's "Integrated Deterrence" Strategy Mean?
*Kris Osborn* *Integrated Deterrence, World* Whether or not it will be effective is yet to be decided. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The concept is to look collectively to a degree, meaning it might make more sense to envision a coordinated, multinational military operation benefitting from both the unique attributes of a given countries’ weapons system and an ability to cross-train, collaborate and secure information sharing in real-time in war. Massive investment in innovation and new technology greatly strengthened cooperation with European and Pacific allies, and a ne... read more

Boeing vs. Lockheed Martin: How the X-32 Couldn't Win the F-35 Contract
*Mark Episkopos* *X-32 Fighter, United States* Despite their significantly different designs, the X-32’s performance was roughly in line with rival Lockheed’s Martin’s X-35 concept demonstrator. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The X-32 used the same, massive delta wing as the foundation for all of the three fighter variants mandated by the JSF program. The result was, by wide consensus, an exceedingly ugly-looking aircraft.

During the Second World War, the shortcoming to most countries’ standard-issue rifles became apparent.
