Fighting for freedom & justice in Mississippi
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 16 hours ago
Fannie Lou Hamer was a force to be reckoned with. Enduring intractable racism, police beatings, and even forced sterilization, she never stopped working for equal voting rights for all. Born on October 6, 1917, in Montgomery County, Mississippi, Fannie Lou, was the 20th and youngest child of Lou Ella and James Townsend. Both Lou Ella and James worked as sharecroppers their entire lives; when Fannie Lou was just six years old, she joined them, despite having endured a bout of polio just a year earlier. Hamer was eight years old in 1925 when she saw Joe Pullam, a local share...

Why a Space Force? A Look at the U.S. Military’s Newest and Most Misunderstood Branch
John Rossomando, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*John Rossomando* *Space, * Contrary to what the critics say, the branch will serve an important role. It proved its worth within a month of its creation. The U.S. Space Force serves the critical role of protecting America’s space infrastructure—which enables everything from credit cards to maximizing agriculture production. But America’s newest military branch is also the most misunderstood in Washington and across the country. “Wow, Space Force. It’s the plane of today,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said when asked if the Biden administration planned to keep it. Tha...
Liberalism Inc.—Too Big to Fail
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
Liberalism is too big to fail. It controls not just the political establishment but also the economic and the intellectual establishments. The pharma and healthcare industry, the tech industry, the banking and insurance industry, the automobile and airlines industry—every major sector of the economy is being run by the liberals. In the intellectual space, the academic industry, the mainstream media, and the movie industry are wholly liberal. How do people fight liberalism when the liberals operate every aspect of their life? There is no answer to this question. To overthrow liberali...
North Korean Chemical Weapons Could Devastate U.S. Troops in a War
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* North Korea’s chemical-weapons threat is real and the likelihood of their use in wartime is high. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The most effective means overall of mitigating Pyongyang’s chemical threat may be to bargain the weapons away ahead of time. If the North could be persuaded to give up most or all of its chemical weapons, it would lessen the threat to civilians and soldiers in wartime, both on the Korean peninsula and abroad. In recent years, North Korea’s chemical weapons have taken a backseat to her nuclear weapons. They are, how...
Why No One Remembers The Second B-29 That Nuked Japan
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * The second B-29, Bockscar, hasn’t shared in the controversy like Enola Gay. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* So what is largely forgotten is that while Bock didn't pilot Bockscar he was in fact present in the other B-29, The Great Artiste, which was used for scientific measures and photography of the effects caused by the release of Fat Man. The Enola Gay is remembered today as being the aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan nearly seventy-five years ago, and its infamous flight has been the subject of much debate.

What if China’s Navy Really Is Not That Big of a Deal?

*Michael Peck* *Security, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_GF10000320870&share=true] History shows how even the Soviet Union threat was inflated. *Key point: *The Soviet Union was a scary land power, but its navy was actually still a distant second to America's. How does China's PLA Navy compare to America today? Back in the 1980s, a war with the Soviet Union seemed like a naval nightmare. Fiction writers like Tom Clancy and John Hackett painted a future where Western navies faced hordes of Red bombers, cruise missiles, subm...
Imperial Japan’s Type 11 Was World War II’s Worst Machine Gun
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Asia* The Type 11, named after the eleventh year of the reign of Emperor Taishō, or 1922, was modeled after the French Hotchkiss air-cooled, gas-operated heavy machine gun. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite the introduction of those superior weapons the Japanese Imperial Army and Special Naval Landing Forces continued to rely on the Type 11 until the end of war. Captured Type 11 machine guns were also used by both sides in the Chinese Civil War, while North Korea, the Viet Minh, and the Viet Cong all used the weapon in limited capacity. When it...

Why America Should Have Invested in Heavy Tanks in World War II
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * By 1945, the U.S. Army had cause to regret one of its most fateful choices of World War II: the decision not to build heavy tanks. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. Army experimented after 1945 with various heavy tank designs. But spurred by growing Cold War tensions, the Army opted to push an untested design—the T-43 heavy tank armed with a 120-millimeter gun—into production. In a story all too familiar in Pentagon arms procurement, the Army built three hundred tanks before rejecting the vehicle because of defects such as problems with the ...

It looks like much of the country will be blanketed in snow and ice and freezing cold this weekend and into next week. We'll be enjoying (!?!) single-digit temperatures tonight, dropping below zero on Monday morning. We won't get back to above-freezing temperatures until next weekend, if the forecast is correct. To add to our enjoyment (!?!), we're forecast to get 5" to 10" of snow over the next few days. That may not sound like a lot to those of you from more northern climes, but to us in Texas, where snow is usually a light dusting once or twice every year that disappears ...

Why Russia Gave Up On More Nuclear Weapons Testing
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Between 1949 and 1990, Russia tested more than 700 nuclear weapons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Russia has shown little interest in further tests, instead concentrating on a new generation of delivery vehicles including the Bulava submarine-launched missile, Topol-MR mobile missile and Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile. The Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb in 1949, just four years after the United States. Like the United States, the USSR conducted an aggressive testing schedule throughout the Cold War, ultimately conducting ...
Are China’s Attack Helicopters Getting Ready to Go to War Over Taiwan?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* The maritime employment of helicopters for attack, transport, and reconnaissance relies upon much more than an ability to conduct air assault raids. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *What is perhaps most significant about the report is the fact that it specifically cites Taiwan and island chains in the South China Sea as locations that would naturally lend themselves to being more susceptible to these kinds of assaults. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army is preparing for air and amphibious attacks upon the island of Taiwan and strategically cr...
The Death of Political Etiquette Long Predates Trump
Maurizio Valsania, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Maurizio Valsania* *Politics, The Americas* As the nation celebrates Presidents Day, it’s good to remember, however, that Trump is not alone in his transgressions of civility. In reality, the shredding of etiquette by presidents, other politicians and public officials has long been a feature of American politics. Donald Trump has achieved something unique: He is the first and only president to face not one but two impeachments. But even though the U.S. Senate is still expected to exonerate him from charges that he incited the deadly Capitol insurrection, Americans already know t...
Failing to Vaccinate the World Comes with $4 Trillion in Economic Losses
Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan* *Coronavirus, * Whatever the toll is, the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan would shoulder almost half the burden of continuing disruptions to global trade – even if they themselves managed to vaccinate the entirety of their own populations. Rolling out a vaccine to stop the spread of a global pandemic doesn’t come cheap. Billions of dollars have been spent developing drugs and putting in place a program to get those drugs into people’s arms. But amid an uneven distribution of vaccines – with poorer countries lagging far behind richer nations – another concern...
