The Navy’s future attack submarines will be bigger, faster, more autonomous, networked and stealthier than the existing Virginia-class attack boats because greater size will allow for more advanced quieting ...

The emphasis on land wars has directed the Navy’s energies—and budget—elsewhere. Still, as the Chinese Navy continues to grow and the Russian Navy is used more aggressively in the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, improving ASW is becoming a well-deserved priority. In March 2015, one of the largest nuclear-p...

Border Patrol Policies Kill Hundreds Of Migrants Each Year

Each year, untold numbers of migrants disappear in the borderlands after being pushed into dangerous and remote terrain by Border Patrol, the same agency that is then tasked with responding to migrants’ search and rescue emergencies. A new report released Wednesday found that the federal agency does not respond to 40% of these emergency calls.

Will Biden Finally Get US Troops Out Of Afghanistan?
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
Real talk: Joe Biden hasn’t had too many finest hours in his 47 years plus years on the national scene. To be fair, he’s had his moments – like a powerful, earthy, and impassioned 1986 speech he delivered to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, opposing the Reagan administration’s apologism for the "repulsive, repugnant" Afrikaner apartheid "regime" in South Africa. Sure, he later – during the 2020 campaign – repeatedly peddled a bizarre lie that he once got arrested attempting to visit Nelson Mandela in prison. Nor does Biden sport such clean record on race relations in his own...

China Wants New Stealth Fighters to Launch From Navy Aircraft Carriers

*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* China may be building a new, carrier-launched variant of its fifth-generation J-31 stealth fighter to rival the U.S. Marine Corps F-35B and Navy F-35C. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The conventional wisdom seems to be that China plans at least four domestically-built carriers to further emerge as a major international maritime power.

Nuclear Fallout: America Tested 1,032 Nuclear Weapons on Its Own Soil
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* The United States learned much from its nuclear tests. In doing so, however, it paid a terrible and tragic price. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Virtually every American that has lived since 1951 has been exposed to nuclear fallout. Nuclear weapons have a mysterious quality. Their power is measured in plainly visible blast pressure and thermal energy common to many weapons, but also invisible yet equally destructive radiation and electromagnetic pulse. Between 1945 and 1992, the United States conducted 1,032 nuclear tests seeking to get the m...

Defending Quadricameralism

From ninth grade Civics on, we are taught that the U.S. federal government (and all but one of its states) relies on bicameralism. Although arguably true to the constitutional text, this account is grossly oversimplified. Just as the rise of political parties and other developments since the founding have transformed presidential elections, judicial nominations, and other aspects of our constitutional order, they also have transformed bicameralism into something considerably more complex. For the vast majority of legislation, we have a quadricameral federal governme...

For the past few weeks since the roll-out of the experimental COVID mRNA "vaccines" we've been told by government health agencies that the massive amounts of injuries and deaths that have occurred just after the injections have nothing to do with the "vaccines."
