This U.S. Missile Can Kill Any Target on Earth in Under an Hour
*Caleb Larson* *Hypersonic Missiles, Americas* Meet the Common Hypersonic Glide Body. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The preemptive capability afforded by hypersonic speeds could allow high-value targets to be taken out with conventional explosives. The United States Navy and Army are working together to develop and eventually field a hypersonic glide body in the early- to mid-2020s. The missile, called the Common Hypersonic Glide Body, or C-HGB, differs from other glide vehicles that are being designed by DARPA or other military branches. Unlike other glide bodies, the C-HGB ... read more
Climate Change Is Putting America's Largest Navy Base In Jeopardy
*Robert Farley* *Climate Change, North America* Naval Station Norfolk isn't the only base at risk. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The combination of climate change and defense austerity makes the United States particularly vulnerable, as it could become difficult to protect current assets and replace destroyed ones. What if the U.S. Navy’s main base in Norfolk, Virginia sinks? It could happen. And it’s not an isolated problem, as climate change alters coastlines all over the world. A report from the American Security Project identifies Naval Station Norfolk as America’s fif... read more
Social Security Recipients Still Urged to Wait
*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, Americas* Social Security recipients are nervous about whether their expected benefits will be there for them. The Social Security Administration announced in September that the main trust fund that supports Social Security would be depleted by 2033, a year earlier than previously thought. That means that unless Congress does something to fix the formula, benefits will be cut for beneficiaries beginning in 2034. It’s unclear how lawmakers will fix the problem. Some Democrats in Congress have introduced a plan called Social Security 2100, wh... read more

“Friendly fire” from David Blunkett
*‘Right-on’ Radio 4 is a turn-off, complains Blunkett* runs a headline in today's *Sunday Times*. Though as a BBC supporter, the former Labour home secretary David Blunkett wants BBC Radio 4 to “stop taking its core audience for granted”. He also argues that it's “playing into the hands of its critics by becoming almost the caricature its opponents think it is”. He says it's “not adapting and becoming less metropolitan” but “playing up to that perception.” He also claims “there’s too much focus on what its contributors and presenters are doing, rather than on being informati... read more

* DC Public Schools Urge Parents to ‘Decolonize’ Their Thanksgiving* Did you need recommendations to get the colonizing out of your Thanksgiving? If so, Lewis Ferebee has come to the rescue. Ferebee, the chancellor of Washington, D.C.’s school system, issued a public letter to parents and families Tuesday titled “Sharing My Gratitude.” It was originally sent to those in the D.C. Public Schools community the previous Thursday, but his gratitude was indeed too precious not to share with a wider audience. There were two paragraphs of gratitude, it must be said.

* Study proves climate change driving Australia’s 800% boom in bushfires* * This is a childish level of logic. There is no doubt that weather changes impact fires but PROVING that the weather changes are due to global warming shows no awarenes of the scientific and philosophical requirements for proving anything. As David Hume pointed out, you have to show constant conjunction between two things to substantiate a claim of causation and there is NO constant conjunction between any meteorological phenonena. Weak probabilities are all we have.And there is no recognition below ... read more
Could North Korea Pull the U.S. and China Into a Nuclear War?
*Robert Farley* *Korean War, Korean Peninsula* It's a very scary thought. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *But if China and the United States did become engaged in active combat operations against one another in Korea, it is unlikely that the fight would stay confined. War on the Korean Peninsula is almost too horrible to contemplate. Nuclear-armed adversaries, fighting in densely populated urban terrain, could cause humanitarian disaster on a scale that the world has never seen. But the scenario might grow even worse. The last time that the United States fought North Korea,... read more
Meet Your Next .22 Rifle: Rock River Arms' LAR-22
*Richard Douglas* *Firearms, United States* This rifle is excellent for plinking and learning how to shoot. It's reliable, accurate, and durable. *Here's What You Need to Know: *The LAR-22 would be an excellent way to introduce kids to firearms. There’s minimal recoil due to the small cartridge and it’s relatively light so they’ll actually be able to pick it up. Along time ago I found myself searching for the “quietest pistol” on Google. What came up was a Ruger Mark IV outfitted with a suppressor. Watching that video is what started my love affair with .22 caliber firearms. Si... read more

Complete Madness In The Biden Administration: Energy Policy
* Is President Biden doing anything right? To this observer, his policies range from at best merely incompetent, to at worst malicious hatred of the country and people whose interests he was elected to advance. * Somewhere in between those two extremes we have Biden’s energy policy. In this arena, appropriate adjectives would be inconsistent, incoherent, and destructive. Don’t even attempt to make sense of it. To summarize in one word, it is complete madness. * I’m old enough to remember the 1970s, and the two “oil shocks” that occurred during that decade. read more
The B-58 Hustler Was Doomed To Fail
*Robert Farley* *B-58 Hustler, * Good looks don't translate into a good bomber. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The conventional bombing role of the traditional medium bomber would shift to the fighter-bomber, first the FB-111 Aardvark (an aircraft with its own long set of struggles), and then multi-mission fighters such as the F-15, F-16, and (eventually) the F-35. In an era of fantastic aircraft, the B-58 Hustler was one of the most visually striking warplanes ever to fly. Its delta wing, giant engines, and remarkable performance gave rise to the myth that pilots could lite... read more

Barrett got their contract, but in truth, gun enthusiasts are the real winners here. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* This gun is well-built so that the recoil you feel at least lands properly. It is not unreasonable for the power of this gun. In 2009, the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) was looking for a new rifle through its Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) competition.

Could the U.S. Handle Wars With China and Russia At the Same Time?
*Robert Farley* *Great Power Competition, * It's something the U.S. must deeply consider. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The United States can still fight and win two major wars at the same time, or at least come near enough to winning that neither Russia nor China would see much hope in the gamble. The United States discarded its oft-misunderstood “two war” doctrine, intended as a template for providing the means to fight two regional wars simultaneously, late last decade.

Yet, lately, I've been seeing on the Intertubz an occasional reference to Dorothy Thompson's landmark article, "Who Goes Nazi?", in the pages of Harper's that had first made its appearance in August of 1941.

China’s Hypersonic Weapons Development Shows No Signs of Stopping

*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Army, United States* Army Futures Command was able to increase communications range, speed, and security during exercises Project Convergence 2021. Seconds after a group of enemy fighters emerge from behind a ridge, U.S. Army soldiers instantly transmit location and targeting details to their unit using software programmable radio-generated high-bandwidth waveforms. This could allow a drone, helicopter or nearby ground unit to counterattack with precision. Beyond this network where each radio is also a wireless router linking other nodes, what if this terrest... read more
The Flying Kalashnikov: Russia's New Drone Has Ukraine Worried
*Mark Episkopos* *TB2 Drone, Europe* "With twice the flight speed, Russia’s Lancet leaves the Bayraktar no chance [to respond],” said the Russian news presenter. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *With such capabilities, Lancet drones could potentially make it unsafe for Ukrainian TB2s to operate in separatist-controlled Donbass airspace. ZALA says that these minefields can be maintained for “tens of hours,” but the Lancet drone only has an endurance of forty minutes before it needs recharging. Dubbed the “flying Kalashnikov,” the versatile Lancet drone is one of the latest add... read more

A List Of People Who Had Their Leg Amputated Shortly After Receiving a COVID-19 Shot
As the vaccination train rolls on, tales of horrifying side effects continue to pile up. The mainstream media reports only on these cases in isolation, if at all, deliberately ignoring the wider pattern of serious blood clots directly linked to vaccination. At this point, the evidence seems deniable only when these cases are not looked at together as a group. Here is a list of people from around the world that, in just the last few weeks and months, have had their leg amputated as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The New COVID Variant Scam was Simulated in Israel Weeks before it was “Discovered”
The flames of "COVID fear" are being stoked again, as the Big Pharma Globalists unleash their new plan to increase profits and exert more tyrannical control over populations by using their corporate media and puppet politicians in an attempt to extend the false "COVID pandemic." Within just a couple of days after announcing that a "new variant" has been discovered in Africa, Big Pharma has now promised the world that they are rushing to rescue everyone with new drugs and new vaccines to fight this "deadly new variant."

Biden's denunciation of Trump travel bans was political demagoguery
*Washington Examiner:* *Biden's South Africa travel ban compared to Trump COVID restrictions he denounced* ... "We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus," Biden tweeted early last year while still a candidate. "We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency." ... They would have also called Trump racist if he banned travel from southern African countries. It is more evidence of how dishonest Democrat politicians are... read more

Was Kyle Rittenhouse Foolish?
A few days ago I was in a discussion on Facebook about Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old who was recently found not guilty of killing two men and wounding a third. His defense was that he acted in self-defense and I watched enough of the trial (between 7 and 9 hours) to be convinced that the […] The post Was Kyle Rittenhouse Foolish? appeared first on Econlib. read more

Trump never considered going to war with China
Epoch Times: Former president Donald Trump said in a statement on Nov. 26 that he never considered going to war with China. Trump’s remarks were part of a tirade against Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who told Congress in September that he assured a top Chinese general that the United States was not going to attack China. “I never had even a thought of going to war with China, other than the war I was winning, which was on TRADE,” Trump said. “I was the only President in decades to not get us into a war—I got us out of wars!” The Joint Chiefs of Staff and Mil... read more

Carl Sagan, "The Pale Blue Dot"
"The following excerpt from Carl Sagan's book "Pale Blue Dot" was inspired by an image taken, at Sagan's suggestion, by Voyager 1 on 14 February 1990. As the spacecraft was departing our planetary neighborhood for the fringes of the solar system, it turned it around for one last look at its home planet. Voyager 1 was about 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) away, and approximately 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane, when it captured this portrait of our world. Caught in the center of scattered light rays (a result of taking the picture so close to the Sun), Earth appears as a ... read more

Doctors in India and South Africa speak out on the vax
November 27, 2021 “The deaths that are meant to follow the vaccinations will never be able to be pinned on the poison. They will be too diverse, there will be too many, and they will be in too broad a timeframe for us to understand that we have been poisoned,” claims Dr. Shankara Chetty. According to his website, South African family doctor Dr Shankara Chetty, “has treated 7,000 Covid-19 patients without a single hospitalization or death,” combining his insights with his medical background along with his observations of government censorship orders and censorship of medias to... read more

To lie like a cat in hot sun, fur fully blazing, and dream the mouse; and to keep too the mouse's patient, waking watch within the deep rooms of the house, where the leaf-flocked sunlight never reaches, but the earth still blooms.” - Jane Hirshfield read more

With the Iraq and Afghanistan wars over, why does the United States need to maintain two large land armies, the Army and Marine Corps?

Democrats tolerance for crime leads to more crime
PJ Media: Is it an accident that big cities with radical Democratic mayors and radical prosecutors are suffering from the most spectacular — and worrying — streak of organized retail theft in history? Democrats might want you to think that. They will claim that their radical policies with regard to criminal behavior have nothing to do with the lawbreaking that’s happening in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Just an unlucky coincidence, right? ... The problem for these cities is that the situation won’t get any better until voters throw the radicals out. Bu... read more

UN Special Rapporteurs estimate that 100,000 people have died in Venezuela in the last decade because of the lack of medicine brought on by U.S. sanctions.
