*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5848548/f-35-demonstration-team-soars-over-wings-over-houston-airshow] The Stealth F-35 has new tech that improves memory, storage, and processing speed. *Key Point:* Faster processing will increase weapons delivery capacity.

China's Nuclear Missile Submarines: A Threat to America?
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/CHINA-ARMY-NUCLEAR-RC18C69C4570.html] An effective Chinese ballistic-missile submarine fleet over the long term could have a stabilizing influence on the world's nuclear balance. But in the short term, it might heighten tensions. Especially if Beijing lets popular fervor drive its build-up. *Key Point:* A reliable fleet of nuclear subs could mean less land-based nuclear missiles and an overall decline of China's nuclear arsenal. But they'd also be more deadly. China for decades has struggled to develop nu... more »

"Cognitive Dissonance & the Human Mind"
"Cognitive Dissonance & the Human Mind" by Dan Eden "When “Robbie” the robot was told to shoot a weapon at a man in the movie "Forbidden Planet", his electronic brain sparked and short-circuited. His creator had programmed him to never harm a human and so the conflicting ideas paralyzed him. Human beings often are presented with opposing thoughts also, but our brains have developed a way of resolving these conflicts through a process call cognitive dissonance. We are taught, like “Robbie,” that killing is prohibited — but what about war? And many anti-abortionists support the death... more »

Foreign Aid Makes Corrupt Countries More Corrupt

Nonlinear Parking Pricing Now!
Parking meters rarely allow you to buy as much time as you like. Instead, they impose a maximum time quantity of 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours. Why bother? The standard story is that nearby merchants don’t really want people who come to park. They want people who come to shop. Quantity restrictions keep […] The post Nonlinear Parking Pricing Now! appeared first on Econlib.
Does Elizebeth Warren really hate the US?
At a rally in Iowa an audience member was accusing the US of "genocides in Palestine and Yemen." Nothing surprising there. What is troubling however is that Warren's initial response, we don't have all that she said, was: "I like your frame on this" not it's insane to blame the US for the actions of Yemen and there is no genocide in Palestine; although it's true that many Palestinian "leaders" are calling for genocide against Jews.

Democrat Ilhan Omar rails against "Western Imperialism"
We know that Ilhan Omar hates Jews. We know that Ilhan Omar wants Israel to be destroyed. Now we know that she thinks that "Western Imperialism" is a real thing anymore. We also know that she's calling for "a mass movement of the working class". Where have we heard those sort of things before? Yes pretty much every issue of Pravda the official paper of the Soviet Union. What American talks about classes; other than teachers and students that is? The reality is that in America social mobility is very high. People who are poor today are unlikely to be poor in 10 years for example. ... more »
The NFF wants to help farmers leave the land. But for them, it's not all about money

Democrats want voters to be ignorant
The left is saying that 18 year olds can join the military but can't buy a gun. That same left is saying that 16 year olds should be able to vote. Why? Because 16 year olds are ideal Democrat voters. They have no financial responsibilities, they don't pay taxes, they tend to be indoctrinated in public schools, and they have no real world experience. We know that the only reason the left wants 16 year olds to vote is because they believe that kids will support the left's agenda of socialism and government tyranny. In a Newsweek op-ed Nancy Deutsch writes: “The skeptical attitude ... more »
On The Philosophy of War
There are three philosophical positions on ethics of warfare: pacifism, realism, and just war theory. The liberal political groups are generally inclined towards pacifism or just war theory depending on their political agenda. The conservative groups reject pacifism as a utopian ideal—they are inclined towards realism but they may also espouse a just war theory in certain circumstances. Pacifism rejects all violent actions—some extreme pacifist groups advocate peace initiatives even when the nation is under direct attack. The pacifist groups are inspired by the teachings of Tolstoy,... more »

Florida Workers Get A Whopping Ten Cents, But There's Hope
Yipee! Florida's minimum wage is going up a whopping 10 cents, from $8.46/hour to $8.56/hour. Tipped workers will get $5.54/hour. If that news generates a big yawn, or a "how the heck can anyone live on that?" there's hope. A new petition to very gradually raise Florida's minimum wage to $15/hour just got enough signatures to make the ballot in November. It would raise the minimum wage to $10 in September 2021, and then go up $1 annually after that. So it wouldn't be until 2026 that it finally gets to $15. Hey, at least it's something. Other states have already raised minimum wa... more »
