DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* On the one hand, there's Hunter Biden. On the other hand, we have a whole White House chock full of grifters. Grifting is just another evil endorsed by Republicans, for Republicans anyway. The whole Hunter Biden thing is a Karl Rove-style move; accuse your opponent of that which you yourself are guilty. It doesn't matter if your opponent is guilty of anything or not. The object is to divert the media and public attention from what you are guilty of. Hey, look over there! It's a lot like the swift-boating of John Kerry. Kerry served in Viet Nam while Rove's man Bush was ... more »

Left-wing lunacy spreads because people were led to forget that negative numbers exist

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 21 hours ago
The U.K. is no longer formally an EU member. Millions of aßlickers of the EU were waiting for the British islands to sink into the ocean last night and the naughty islands shockingly failed to do so! The ongoing discussions about the coronavirus have reminded about a very general thesis of mine about the reasons behind the proliferation of left-wing lies, lunacies, and hysteria and the disappearance of critical thinking in general. My thesis is that the character of the discussions, newspaper articles, TV segments, and curricula at schools have led a huge number of people to forget a... more »

This Is How Russia's MiG-29 Fulcrum Got Its Fearsome Reputation

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* They had some problems though. *Key point:* MiG-29s are being actively used in combat in Ukraine The MiG-29 Fulcrum was the first Russian fourth-generation jet fighter, marked by its sleek and deadly appearance in contrast to earlier Soviet fighters. The fast and agile Fulcrum could outturn any NATO fighter, and it was armed with cutting-edge missiles. But, alas, it was held back by its old-fashioned electronics, short service life and limited range. In a sense, the MiG-29 combined fourth generation engineering with third generation hardwar... more »

This Plane Might Get The Air Force To Give Up The F-22 Raptor

David Axe at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* The F-35 is that impressive. *Key point:* The Air Force's budgetary problems have been a long time coming. A new fighter to replace the F-22 Raptor could eat the U.S. Air Force's budget starting in the 2030s, the Congressional Budget Office reported. The Air Force on average spent $12 billion per year, in current dollars, on new aircraft between 1980 and 2018. But replacing the flying branch's roughly 180 F-22s in the 2030s while simultaneously buying new F-35s, cargo planes and tankers, could cost as much as $23 billion annually, the CBO conclu... more »

Biden's campaign keeps talking about what a big deal it is that the two conservative freshmen backbenchers from Iowa, Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer, are his version of Bernie having AOC (as well as Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna and Pramila Jayapal) as surrogates.
