The Battle of Samar: How 6 U.S. Aircraft Carriers Battled Japanese Battleships
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * A World War II battle that made naval history. In the pre-dawn glow of October 25, 1944, four tubby TBF Avenger torpedo bombers took off on a routine patrol from the *USS St. Lo*. She was one of sixteen small escorts carriers in Taskforce 74.4 steaming sixty miles east of Samar island in the Leyte Gulf—protecting the invasion fleet which had landed the 6th Army on Leyte Island to liberate the Philippines after three brutal years of Japanese occupation. Suddenly at 6:37, Avenger pilots William Brooks reported a nightmarish sight: a powerful Japanes... more »
Hungary May Buy the U.S. F-35 Stealth Fighter
*Michael Peck* *Security, * The interesting question is why. Hungary may buy the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter. Not because it loves the F-35, but because the Hungarian government is mad at Sweden. Swedish and Hungarian media are reporting that Hungary may give up its leased fleet of Swedish-made Jas 39 Gripen fighters in favor of the F-35. The populist government of Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban has drawn criticism from other European nations who accuse him of undermining Hungarian democracy. Critics says Orban is neutering the Hungarian judiciary and fanning anti-Semitism... more »

The action made Jefferson famous. But fame wouldn’t spare him a tragic fate. An anti-tank obstacle had held up the Fusiliers’ supporting tanks. The battalion had pushed forward alone and ... more »

This is likely scientific disinformation. Sperm counts are on the decline and the likely culprit is good old Roundup. Glyphosate does have the biological pathways able to produce this effect.

the brain may be able to help
Rather interesting work as it really comes close to a practical protocol. surgical debris was successfully used to produce brain healing.

Then once the brain recovers from this operation, you reenter and provide rejuvenated cells from the cultures. What is certain here is that this is a direct road dealing with PTSD, and in fact most forms of brain trauma that produces internal scar tissue and ... more »

Financial pundits have been looking for the next depression for decades. We have had recessions and the Obama recessions was the longest since the Great Depression.

Sig Sauer's P365XL Gun: Better than a Glock?

(Although the “X” in the Glock 19X and 43X technically means “crossover”—i.e., a full-size grip on a compact slide, not “extended.”) Sig Sauer also appears to have embraced the trend with a larger version of the P365, the P365XL, which also features a longer grip and slide. But in the extended P365, Sig Sauer treads on the toes of another pistol in its own product line, the P320 Compact. Comparing the official specification sheets of both pistol... more »

Why North Korea Is Raising Tensions with New Missile Tests
*Stratfor Worldview* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] What Should Trump do? After a hiatus of 521 days, North Korea has resumed its missile-testing regime. On May 9, the country launched its second flight test in less than a week of what appear to be short-range missiles. Its May 4 launch involved multiple missiles, possibly including several of the same type. The second test came on the second anniversary of South Korean President Moon Jae In's inauguration and just before a live TV interview in which Moon characterized the tests as a "pressure action" to shape further talks. ... more »
CBD: The Next Weapon in the War Against Drug Addiction?
*Jenny Wilkerson, Lance McMahon* *Society, * Could this work? CBD, or cannabidiol, is everywhere, with word on the street saying that it can cure everything from a bad mood to cancer. However, most of these claims are not based on scientific evidence. Animal studies suggest that CBD might be beneficial for some health indications, such as pain, inflammation, arthritis and anxiety. However, until recently, the only medical indication that CBD has been proven to treat in humans is seizures associated with pediatric epilepsy. Now, however, a recent study suggested that CBD curbed c... more »

This Photo Almost Started A Nuclear War
*VOX*: The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world has ever come to all-out nuclear war, and it all started with a photo. On October 15th, 1962, Dino Brugioni, a senior analyst at the newly-formed National Photographic Interpretation Center, identified missile trailers measuring approximately 65 feet in an aerial reconnaissance photo. Those trailers were a match for the Soviet SS-4, a medium-range ballistic missile with a range that would cover a huge amount of the United States, including Washington, DC.

Pertussis Vaccine Failure: Children Receiving Vaccine Have 15x More Risk of Contracting Whooping Cough than Unvaccinated Children
This is the latest peer reviewed science - not “vaccine misinformation.” These studies show that the Pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine has now failed. Worse, children receiving the vaccine have 15x the risk of contracting Pertussis than unvaccinated children. This is why California schools are now suffering a Pertussis outbreak (3,455 cases in 2018 compared to 14 Measles cases) affecting only vaccinated children. Moreover, vaccinated children are often asymptotic carriers spreading the disease among their classmates. On the rare occasions that unvaccinated children contract Pertus... more »

Bio of William Nordhaus Is On Line
Starting in the 1970s, Nordhaus constructed increasingly comprehensive models of the interaction between the economy and additions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, along with its effects on global warming. Economists use these models, along with assumptions about various magnitudes, to compute the “social cost of carbon” (SCC). The idea is that past a certain […] The post Bio of William Nordhaus Is On Line appeared first on Econlib.

Meet Iran’s “Mad Max” Navy (As in Missile-Armed Motor Boats)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * How dangerous are they? On May 16, 2019, U.S. officials cited reports that Iran had installed missiles on civilian motorboats in the Persian Gulf as a justification for a major deployment of U.S. military forces to the Middle East. However, this claim may ring a bit strangely to observers of Iran’s military, as employing swarms of heavily armed motor boats to launch asymmetric attacks on maritime assets has long been understood to be its naval strategy—one that Tehran hasn’t exactly been shy about publicizing. Take, for example, this video which d... more »
