Why Are So Many Americans Stockpiling Guns, Silver And Food Right Now?
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
We were told that 2021 would be the year when everything starts to get back to normal. But that hasn’t exactly been the case, has it? It has been just over a month, and there is still chaos everywhere. We have seen a wild riot at the U.S. Capitol, civil unrest has been erupting in major cities from coast to coast, millions of people have filed for unemployment benefits, a president was impeached, and a crazy ride on Wall Street made “GameStop” a national phenomenon. That would normally be enough for an entire year, but we are still in the first week of February. All throughout ...

“What will become of these galaxies? Spiral galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are passing dangerously close to each other, but each is likely to survive this collision. Typically when galaxies collide, a large galaxy eats a much smaller galaxy. In this case, however, the two galaxies are quite similar, each being a sprawling spiral with expansive arms and a compact core. As the galaxies advance over the next tens of millions of years, their component stars are unlikely to collide, although new stars will form in the bunching of gas caused by gravitational tides.

Housing Hypocrites: Tim Wilson’s housing affordability crusade just an assault on super
Elizabeth Minter, Michael West - 9 hours ago
[image: Housing affordability] Liberal MP Tim Wilson is the latest Coalition politician to cry crocodile tears over the housing affordability crisis, calling for Australians to access their superannuation to buy a house. Wilson’s call however is supreme hypocrisy; about tackling housing affordability than attacking the super industry, writes Elizabeth Minter. Coalition policy on negative gearing, property subsidies, money-laundering, super fund borrowing and banking and lending standards are ample evidence.

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* Don McDonald and a relative few Royal Air Force pilots fought the Japanese to a bloody draw above the island of Ceylon. *Here's What You Need to Know*: In the 40 minutes between 7:50 and 8:30 am, on April 5, 1942, Royal Air force pilot Don McDonald experienced his air base being bombed in a Japanese surprise air raid that should never have been a surprise.

Scott Sumner, Econlib - 10 hours ago
Mitt Romney has proposed a child allowance of $4200/year for children under age 6 and $3000/year for children age 6 to 17, which is gradually phased out for people making over $200,000 (depending on the child’s age.)

*No, this is not an animated GIF...* *"Premonitions: Yes, We Do Have A Sixth Sense”* By Sarah Chalmers "On Friday, October 21, 1966, a mountain of coal waste, perched above the Welsh mining village of Aberfan, broke loose and came flowing down uncontrollably. Destabilized by recent rains, a river of black coal sludge, water and boulders bore down on Aberfan. It steamrollered over a tiny cottage halfway down the slope, thundered through Pantglas Junior School, obliterated a further 20 houses - then finally came to rest. A total of 144 people, including many children, were crushed or ...

Hallelujah. Jesus is Lord
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 10 hours ago
I can't verify the Hallelujah story, but it's a good one. Erling Olsen in his *Meditations in the Book of Psalms* writes in 1937 (on Ps. 147, p. 1013) that the word Hallelujah (Praise the Lord) was taboo in Germany because it is a Hebrew word. His book is enjoyable not only for all the history and analysis of the Psalms, but because he was living in and comments on the era of terrible economic depression, a time of terrible drought and crop loss, and the build up to WWII. Hitler tried to blame all Germany's problems on the Jews and diminished them as human beings. Forbidding ce...
Budget Time: How the Army Is Embracing out With the Old, in With the New

*David Axe* *Security, Americas* Sometimes it is necessary to kill your darlings. *Key point: *Every cut opens up new money to be used on other, more important projects. So what programs is the Army prioritizing? The U.S. Army is slowing, cutting and canceling hundreds of weapons programs in order to free up cash for just six kinds of new hardware.

Why Russia Would Lose a War Against NATO Over the Baltics

*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC111EE70890&share=true] It took a lot of investment and training, along with Soviet blunders, to achieve something resembling a military edge. *Key point: *It was technology and a better doctrine that helped NATO meet and outmatch the Soviets. Thankfully though this advantage was never put to the test in combat against the Warsaw Pact. A recent RAND wargame on a potential Russian offensive into the Baltics brought talk of a “new Cold War” into sharp focus. The game ...
