China Has Stolen Its Way to Military Superpower Status
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* The United States has become increasingly aggressive about slowing down or halting China’s industrial espionage efforts. This has included indictments of PLA officers, broad condemnations of Chinese spying, and targeted reprisals against some Chinese firms. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Given the extensive commercial contacts between China and the United States, stopping the flow of technology is virtually impossible. Moreover, China has developed a large, innovative technology economy in its own right. It can now produce its own technolog...
F-16XL: The Insane Fighter the U.S. Air Force Said No To
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-16XL, * [image: F-16XL] In March 1981, the Air Force announced that it was looking to develop a new advanced tactical fighter to replace the F-111 Aardvark, and General Dynamics entered the F-16XL in the competition. The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon remains the most procured fixed-wing aircraft in military service. Since its introduction in 1978, it has been adopted by twenty-five other nations, and there are approximately 3,000 operational Fighting Falcons in service. It has engaged in more than 400,000 combat sorties and has a combined 19 million fligh...
Has the U.S. Presidency Gone Rogue?
Ivan Eland, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Ivan Eland* *U.S. Presidential History, United States* [image: U.S. Presidential History] The presidency of Donald Trump merely highlighted the dangers of an already existing extra-constitutional presidency in which the chief executive regularly stretches the Constitution, the laws, and traditional norms of the office. During World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and the War on Terror, presidential power grew immensely from being the first-among-equals branch of government, the imperial presidency, into what now can be called a “rogue” presidency that th...
The Air Force Is Already Implementing Its Anti-China War Plans
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* Warfare readiness in the Pacific has taken on some new urgency in light of escalating tensions between the United States and China. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *B-2 readiness continues to be a large priority for the Air Force as the service seeks to extend the combat effectiveness of the aircraft for many more years as larger numbers of the new B-21 begin to arrive. While an 1980’s engineered, Cold War aircraft, today’s thirty-year old B-2 is quite different from early models of the stealth bomber. The U.S. Air Force is refining its bomber a...
Los Angeles Italian Restaurant Owner Continues to Defy Lockdowns – Taunts Gov. Newsom with Warning
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
Tony Roman's defiance of the California lockdown policies and Governor Newsom's directives against restaurants continued this week when he refused to attend a scheduled court hearing regarding his restaurant with the State's health mandates, refusing to concede that the court had any jurisdiction over this matter. Tony is the owner of Basilico's restaurant in Huntington Beach, California. Not only has his restaurant not complied with COVID edicts, he has banned anyone wearing a face mask from dining in his restaurant. When Newsom imposed a state-wide curfew of 10 p.m., Tony extende...
Syria awaiting oil delivery from vessel stuck at the Suez Canal
[image: Syria awaiting oil delivery from vessel stuck at the Suez Canal] BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources, Bassam Tohme, said on Saturday that the traffic disruption of maritime traffic at the Suez Canal has affected oil supplies to the country. In an interview with Syrian TV, Tohme said, “The disruption of navigation in the canal led to a delay in the arrival of a tanker carrying oil and oil products to Syria .” He explained that “in order to ensure the continuity of providing basic services to the Syrians (ovens, hospitals, water stat...
Reclaiming Freedom in the UK, with Laurence Fox
Kate, Small Dead Animals - 8 hours ago
Laurence Fox happened to say something mildly controversial on the BBC last year — and suddenly found himself a victim of cancel culture. Instead of retreating or apologizing, Fox made the unusual choice to not just rebel but to do it in the most public way possible: by running for mayor of London.
Happy Full Moon 2021 : What You Need to Know About March's Worm ‘Supermoon’
White Wolf, White Wolf - 8 hours ago
The third full moon of 2021 will appear this weekend, offering sky gazers the opportunity to see the biggest and brightest moon of the year so far. March’s full moon is traditionally known as the Worm Moon in the northern hemisphere, as it comes at the end of winter when the ground begins to thaw. Nasa executive Gordon Johnston also noted that this month’s moon could be considered a “supermoon” by some definitions due to its proximity to Earth. First coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, a supermoon is generally classed as a new or full moon that is within 90 per cent of i...
Cancel culture? Internet culture? Human culture?
Scott Sumner, Econlib - 8 hours ago
Not all innovation makes things better. I doubt that WWI would have been as bad if not for the invention of guns. If soldiers had still used swords in 1914, it seems unlikely that trench warfare would have dragged on for 4 years, with nearly 10 million deaths. At the same time, war has been […] The post Cancel culture? Internet culture? Human culture? appeared first on Econlib.
Iran and China sign historic $600 billion strategic partnership agreement
[image: Iran and China sign historic $600 billion strategic partnership agreement] Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi signed the much-anticipated Iran-China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership agreement after over five years of grueling talks. The comprehensive agreement, signed in Tehran on Saturday, consists of 20 articles, and although details of the pact have yet to be provided, local media indicates that it likely covers everything from political and cultural ties to “security and defence” and “regional and international” coopera...
Media Starting to Admit Federal Prosecutors Have Scant Evidence Against January 6th DC Protestors as Judges Start Asking Questions
Sundance, The Last Refuge - 6 hours ago
Apparently the creation of the DOJ’s politically convenient “domestic extremist” narrative is starting to come under scrutiny. After several federal judges initially granted the DOJ the benefit of doubt for their outlandish conspiratorial claims, now with judges ordering the targets to be released the media are catching on. The 2021 political prosecutions against the Oath […] The post Media Starting to Admit Federal Prosecutors Have Scant Evidence Against January 6th DC Protestors as Judges Start Asking Questions appeared first on The Last Refuge.

Memories That Seem Real
KRandle, A Different Perspective - 7 hours ago
I have suggested for years that memory is unreliable and I have cited a study done by Ulric Neisser after the Challenger disaster. He provided his first-year students with a short survey asking them about how they heard about the disaster, where they were and the like. Three years later, he provided those same students, now seniors, with the same six questions. He added a seventh about how accurate they thought their memories were. He found that nearly 75% of those were wrong about some of what they remembered. Nearly a quarter of them were completely wrong. Once of the student...
Why the Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile’s Days are Numbered
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Could the Naval Strike Missile replace it? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The new Harpoon is likely to remain the powerful “long arm” of the Navy. Its proper replacement is likely to come in the form of the AGM-158C LRASM, a big long-range stealth anti-ship missile. The Harpoon has a long and storied history in U.S. service. As the primary anti-ship armament of the U.S. Navy from the 1970s to the present, the Harpoon was involved in some of the only surface-to-surface engagements during the Cold War in Operation Praying Mantis. Despite its succes...
Problem: China’s Plans to Field Kamikaze Drones
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Chinese Military, Asia* For the U.S. military and other potential Chinese adversaries, this is one more advanced weapon that they may encounter in battle. Like drones in general, loitering munitions can be hard to detect and shoot down, especially the smaller models. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Chinese loitering munitions may be popping up outside of China. Beijing may have become the world’s No. 2 arms exporter, whose aircraft, tanks and rifles can be found across the globe. This means that American soldiers could face Chinese-made suicide drones in hots...
The Incredibly Epic Way Imperial Japan Failed in World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *World War II History, Asia* Wars do not usually go exactly as planned and incorrect premises can lead to faulty conclusions about how (and whether) to wage armed conflict. *Key point: *Tokyo wanted to dominate all of Asia. However, they made several mistakes about how America would react to a surprise attack and how they could win. Planning a war requires assumptions. However, there should be as few assumptions as possible, otherwise one can assume away all one’s problems. Japanese shortfalls in resources influenced their assumptions in planning for Wo...
Will Gun Control Divide the Democratic Party?
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Gun Control, United States* Republicans and more moderate Democrats will likely oppose Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban push, carving several partisan hurdles for the Democratic caucus in the Senate. Waves of partisan conflict watered down Democratic hopes to swiftly pass legislation on gun control in the wake of two mass shootings, as party members in the Senate stand largely separated, despite having majorities in both congressional chambers. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a centrist and one of the loudest Democrats in the upper chamber, is leading t...
Joe Biden and North Korea: A Crisis Coming Soon?
Doug Bandow, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Doug Bandow* *Joe Biden North Korea, * At his Thursday press conference, President Joe Biden declared North Korea to be his number one priority. But he’s not acting that way. The president sounded like he might initiate a confrontation for confrontation’s sake. That would be an unnecessary and costly mistake.

The Nazi’s Bismarck vs. Japan’s Yamato: Which Super Battleship Is Best?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* Can we imagine a scenario in which two titans of World War II, the German battleship Bismarck and the Japanese battleship Yamato, would come into conflict? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The imperial ambitions of Kaiserine Germany are worth remembering. Both US and Japanese policy in the Pacific in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (particularly the U.S. seizure of the Philippines) kept German regional ambitions firmly in mind. Can we imagine a scenario in which two titans of World War II, the German battleship *Bismarck* and ...
Germany Could Have Been a Battleship Superpower If One Thing Happened
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* Had Germany won the war, relations with both the United States and the United Kingdom would have remained tense. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In the real world, Germany was beaten, the High Seas Fleet was scuttled at Scapa, and the three great naval powers settled their differences with the Washington Naval Treaty. That treaty sharply limited naval construction, prohibiting the construction of an entire generation of new battleships. It offered a “naval holiday” that gave the people of the world a much-needed rest after several years of ...

Maximum generality isn't always the same as mathematical depth
Luboš Motl, The Reference Frame - 54 minutes ago
An ATLAS excess: a new LHC paper has an interesting excess on Figure 6, Page 13, in the decay \(H\to aa\to bb\mu\mu\). The invariant mass \(m_{\mu\mu}\approx 52\GeV\). Note that in 2018, the CMS saw a dimuon excess at \(28\GeV\), close to a 2016-retro-seen \(30\GeV\) dimuon excess at ALEPH (LEP). After he read my thoughts about the supremacy of physics-like proofs, Mr H. Turtledove (CZ) has exchanged a dozen of interesting e-mails with me that revolved around the importance, depth, mathematical ideas, physical ideas, and their relationships.

China Might Be Getting Stealthier Submarines. What Should the Navy Do?

Super Warship: Aircraft Carriers Are Here to Stay for Good
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Global* Aircraft carriers revolutionized naval warfare and doomed battleships to the dustbin of history. Even today, they remain powerful and difficult to sink. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Aircraft carriers' true power comes from their ability to provide a secure, mobile airbase for a powerful air wing. That provides far greater range and bombing ability than anything offered by a ship. *HMS Furious*, the first real aircraft carrier, entered service in early 1918. A converted cruiser, she displaced about 20,000 tons, and flew about half a dozen...

The Florida Keys are well known for their natural beauty and splendor, but there’s at least one aspect of their local fauna that won’t be so natural in the coming years, if the EPA’s latest plan comes to fruition, that is: genetically modified mosquitoes. The lab created insects, which were developed by the British company Oxitec and funded through a $4.1 million grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, were quietly granted an “experimental use permit (EUP)” on May 1, 2020 and are designed to be released in a first wave of 750 million mosquitoes in less than a week.

Is Your Charter School A Public School?

The One Thing Health Conscious People Haven’t Been Told About Kerrygold Irish Butter
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 10 hours ago
The popularity of butter has exploded lately as more and more people find out the truth about margarine, and how unhealthy it really is for the body. Margarine is a heavily processed, chemical-based “food” that only gained market share due to the false notion that low-fat diets are the key to health. In comparison, butter has been recognized recently as a healthy source of “good” saturated fats, when it comes from grass-fed cows as opposed to the (usually GMO) grain-fed ones that is. As far as the most popular brands of butter go, the new, unhealthy breed of “conventional” butter ...
