Biden’s Victory Does Not Guarantee a Progressive Agenda. We Must Fight for It.
Marjorie Cohn, Marjorie Cohn - 1 day ago

A War in the Korean DMZ Would Create a Global Crisis
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Millions of troops would take part. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Korean DMZ is almost certainly the most heavily armed place on Earth. In the event the unthinkable happens, the presence of three large armies on the Korean Peninsula and their associated firepower would make the otherwise peaceful 2.5-mile-by-160-mile strip (which doubles as a wildlife refuge) one of the deadliest battlegrounds ever conceived. The recent defection of a North Korean soldier across the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that separates the two Koreas highlighted how ...

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, World* [image: https://us.glock.com/en/pistols/g31] This weapon was innovative and was also made famous by a shootout in 1986. *Key point: *This gun is iconic and recognizable. It also has been used by law enforcement across the country. In the early 1990s, a handful of calibers emerged to challenge the nine-millimeter as the dominant semi-automatic handgun round. One of these, the .357 Sig, is the caliber of choice for the Glock 31 pistol. The Glock 31 is the company’s offering for those into high velocity or long distance handgun shooting. The G31 al...

*James Holmes* *Security, * The flattop remains the ultimate weapon of war. *Here’s What You Need to Know: *A fighting ship isn't just a hunk of steel but a symbiosis of crewmen and materiel.

Understanding The Appeal Of Alternative Medicine Can Help Protect The Endangered Species It Puts At Risk
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 22 hours ago
Alternative Chinese medicine harms endangered species like pangolins, tigers and rhinos, but deniers of evidence-based medicine are often part of the same political tribe as professional conservationists. That confirmation bias about alternative medicine has limited conservation gains. The use of endangered species in traditional Chinese medicine threatens species' survival. Noting inefficacy and providing various forms of scientific evidence are not influencing decisions and behaviors. Especially because environmentalists often use the same anti-corporate tropes that convince den...

*Marion Smith, Real Clear Defense: *Americans Shouldn’t Fund Communist China’s Armed Forces American investors should not be financing Communist China’s military buildup. On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order to prevent just that and protect American security. The order bans individual and institutional investors from owning shares in 31 Chinese firms that provide the Communist regime’s armed forces with ships, planes, and cutting-edge technology. This action is long overdue. For years, Communist China has relied on American money to fund its military modernizat...
