Three U.S. Navy Battleships Pounded German Defenses on D-Day*Kris Osborn* *D-Day, France* As entrenched Nazi forces mounted attacks, three U.S. battleships -- the USS Texas, the USS Nevada and the USS Arkansas -- pounded German coastal defenses with their 14 inch guns. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: While approaching closer to the shoreline, U.S. Navy ships fought off heavy German attacks from mortars, artillery and machine guns. Struggling to withstand dangerous Nazi attacks on U.S. supply boats, three famous U.S. Navy battleships faced heavy resistance as they closed-in on the German-held Cotentin Peninsula as part of the D-Day in... read more

The Navy Is Arming Littoral Combat Ships For Long-Range War*Kris Osborn* *Littoral Combat Ship, United States* Arming destroyers and the Littoral Combat Ship with more lethal, precise and longer-range weapons can easily be interpreted as being part of the Navy’s larger “distributed lethality” strategy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The SeaRAM replaces the gun with larger, longer-range Rolling Airframe Missiles. Unlike the CIWS, it uses a twenty-millimeter cannon to shoot down threats close to a ship. The Navy is testing a new combat system for its Littoral Combat Ship to qualify it for military missions via a larger-than-normal num... read more

His Days Are NumberedErin O'Toole is a strange creature. He's a leader who doesn't act like a leader. Althia Raj writes: Watching Erin O’Toole obfuscate with reporters Monday — on whether he supports a truck convoy protesting vaccination rules — laid bare the Conservative leader’s principal challenge. He desperately wants to avoid his predecessor’s mistakes but in doing so keeps making his own errors. O’Toole was asked eight times, whether he stands with the so-called “freedom convoy,” the truckers making their way to Parliament to protest the mandatory vaccination of those crossing the border. (Since... read more

Democracy and Executive Power: Imagining Choice in Administrative LawFor the Balkinization symposium on Susan Rose-Ackerman, Democracy and Executive Power: Policymaking Accountability in the US, the UK, Germany, and France (Yale University Press, 2021). Liz Fisher In 2008 the UK Government published a Code of Practice on Consultation (now superseded) for central government departments. On its cover was a picture of one bumble bee hovering above, and three bumble bees on, a flower. The picture has always made me wonder about what the flower and the bees are meant to represent. Is the flower a government department? Or are the bees? The answer depe... read more

American military leaders were appalled by the atrocities committed by Nazis against the Jews*The Lid:* *Gen. Eisenhower Guaranteed The World Would NEVER FORGET* *International Holocaust Remembrance Day* This piece is worth reading in full. Eisenhower and other American generals were appalled at what they found the Nazis had been doing. The details are graphic and still appalling to read. I can still remember when I first came across the details when reading *The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.* The book contained some of the graphic pictures that Eisenhower had ordered to be taken so it would be hard for anyone to deny what happened.

Drug overdoses skyrocketed in 2020 with more than 20,000 more dying in the 18–64 age group than the year before.

Democrats Jan. 6 campaign out of touch with votersSalena Zito: ... The press weren't alone; the Democrats ran the bulk of their messaging tying Trump and Trump voters with the riot of Jan. 6, 2021. What they missed is that, although voters understand the circumstances of that day, they moved on a long time ago. They are concerned now with the circumstances that actually affect their daily lives — fanatical pandemic restrictions, inflation, crime, supply-chain disruptions, border insecurity, foreign policy weakness, and the like.
