Wild: Nuclear-Powered Submarines Have Only Ever Sunk 1 Ship in Combat
*Robert Farley* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2010%3Anewsml_GM1E6AN014X01&share=true] Really? *Key point: *During the Falklands-Malvinas War, London ordered its submarine to sink an Argentine battleship. It was a terrifying demonstration of fire power. Only one ship has ever been sunk in anger by a nuclear submarine. Designed to fight the Japanese, USS *Phoenix* survived Pearl Harbor and fought in battles across the Pacific.

Subs Spawning Subs: What If Submarines Motherships Launched Underwater Drones
*Robert Farley* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1A3FCFCDD0&share=true] A new wage to wage war? *Key point: *Drones are the future of warfare and America is racing to build them. Washington's latest idea is to have a drone-carrying submarine. Imagine a future in which nuclear attack submarines (SSNs) can deploy undersea drones (UUVs) to hunt, and possibly kill, enemy subs. The U.S. Navy, at least, is taking steps to make this a reality. What impact could this have? On the one hand, UUVs could shake modern an... more »
Meet the Man Challenging Donald Trump For the 2020 GOP Presidential Nomination
*Hunter DeRensis* *Politics, * Former Massachusetts Governor William Weld is trying to do the unthinkable. The question we need to ask is why? While public attention was focused on the results of the competitive Democratic primary in New Hampshire, the results of the Republican primary are not worth ignoring. A sort of two-man race developed between incumbent President Donald Trump, and his contender, former Massachusetts Governor William Weld. Historically, New Hampshire has been the bedrock of fruitless primary challengers. Most significantly, in 1968 Minnesota Senator Eugene... more »

The Republican Counterpart To The Democrats Green New Deal Won't Get Press But It May Be More Realistic
When it comes to the political divide in America, the key difference in science is that academia has mostly Democrats while private sector scientists are mostly Republicans. There are big tents in a two-party system so a liberal New York cop will have nothing in common with a San Francisco progressive but they will both vote Democrat and this big tent philosophy covers science as well. Republicans are considered deniers of climate change and evolution while Democrats deny vaccines and agriculture, and the rest of the tent has to endure them. read more

London Attack: West's Terrorists Bite the Hand that Feeds (Again)
The latest incident in London was so entirely preventable that it is difficult to describe it as anything less than deliberate. *February 13, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - In yet another headline-grabbing terror attack - an armed man in south London left several injured - some seriously - with the suspect himself killed at the scene by police.

Is The United States Economy "Working" For Everyone?
* At his various speeches and rallies, President Trump likes to tout a particular list of recent indicators of a strong U.S. economy — relatively robust growth, very low unemployment (including for women, African Americans, and other minorities), and a booming stock market. * Meanwhile, the recurring theme of his Democratic rivals is that the economy is somehow not “working” for average Americans. All the Democratic candidates propose massive increases in government spending and programs supposedly as the way to make the economy “work” better for the average family. * Without minimi... more »
Wisconsin Lawmakers Push to Make it Easier to Terminate Parental Rights
Over the last three months, Wisconsin legislators have been debating bills to reshape state laws that have the power to break up some families and create new ones. There have been two public hearings and a contentious Assembly floor session over the measures. But stories of parents like Tara van Wormer and their children have been virtually absent from the debate. The bills, including measures that cover adoption and foster care, grew out of an Assembly task force on adoption commissioned last spring. They were introduced as a package to make Wisconsin “more adoption friendly” in th... more »

Musical/Poetical Interlude: "Don't Give Up"
Peter Gabriel, Feat. Kate Bush, “Don't Give Up” ○ *"Don't Give Up"* "Don't give up, you still have time to reach up and start anew, Accept your shadows, Bury your fears, Free your burdens, Fly again. Don't give up, that's what life is, Continue the journey, Follow your dreams, Unstuck time, Move the rubble, And uncover the sky.
