Would You Ask To Join The Squad?
Daniel Marans put a bunch of statements by AOC together and wrote a post asserting she wants a bigger Squad. Are there dues and a secret handshake like The Blue Dogs and New Dems have? Will it be a side project of the Congressional Progressive Caucus that eventually swallows up that everyone-welcome caucus? AOC: "We have to change the people who are here if we are serious about delivering for working-class people." As Marans reminded his readers, Pelosi dismissed the Squad with a sneer: "They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got." Last time I looked, though AOC had 5.... more »
On The Four Types of Conservatism
The term “conservative” generally refers to anyone who stands for small government, free-markets, respect for religion and culture, and strong law and order.

The F-35 Can Go Into Beast Mode (Think More Missiles But Less Stealth)
*David Axe* *Security, * A good idea? *Key point: *An improved stand-off capability. The U.S. military could hang more weapons under the wings of its F-35 stealth fighters. Lockheed Martin, which assembles the single-engine, radar-evading jets, in early May 2019 revealed a concept for a hypersonic surface-to-air missile that’s compatible with the U.S. Navy’s F-35C.

Why Russia's Crazy 'Battleship' T-35 Tank Was a Waste of Steel

Recently, a Russian military museum in Sverdlovsk unveiled a moving replica T-35 tank, recreating one of the largest tanks ever to see combat, though only *very* briefly. Indeed, a few dozen T-35s charged straight into the largest tank battle in history—and none came back. Overtaxed transmission and faulty clutches proved a greater nemesis than arm... more »

Why the U.S. Has Nuclear Weapons in Turkey—And May Try to Put the Bombs Away

Most GMO crops are engineered for tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. * Glyphosate herbicides are also used on many non-GMO crops and in non-farm environments. * Honeybee... more »
