Everything That Is Wrong with HR 1
Pedro Gonzalez, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Pedro Gonzalez* *HR 1, Americas* [image: HR 1] To start, HR 1 would grant federal voting rights to convicted felons, enabling people who have been sentenced for cruel crimes to cast ballots so long as they aren't serving a sentence in a correctional facility at the time of the election. The concept of a Trojan Horse may be something of a political cliché but it is hard to think of a better analogy for HR 1, also known as the For the People Act. It sits at the legislature’s gates now as an election reform bill formally designed to redress racial grievances. The reality, however, ...
What's With America's Smart Planes but Dumb Bombs?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Military Technology, * America's planes are cutting-edge but innovation for their bombs lags behind. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Naturally, seeker technology and advances with guidance systems and targeting are vastly different than they were years ago. Yet, the fundamental configurations, or bomb structures themselves, have been somewhat stagnant. US Air Force researchers and bomb-makers are expressing concerns that the modernization of air-dropped weapons has been lagging-behind the many technical advances built into the larger platforms that drop them,...
The New China Challenge: A Game-Changing Strategic Agreement with Iran
Mohammed Ayoob, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Mohammed Ayoob* *Security, Asia* In the long run, the agreement will provide Iran with the opportunity to free itself from the economic and strategic viselike grip of the United States and its allies. China and Iran have recently signed a strategic agreement that is supposed to last for a quarter-century. Some observers believe this could be a game-changer in the Middle East providing China a firm foothold in the region at the expense of the United States. It is also speculated that the agreement would increase Iran’s leverage in its negotiations with the Biden administration a...
Human Rights Hypocrisy: Why Blinken Misses the Mark

Earlier this week, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken presented the forty-fifth Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, prepared by the Bureau of Democracy, Rights and Labor.

Lebanon Can Be Saved, But America Must Act Now
Robert Nicholson, Toufic Baaklini, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Robert Nicholson, Toufic Baaklini* *Lebanon Crisis, Middle East* There is still hope for Lebanon, but time is running out. Failure to act will create a new forward base for malign powers looking to project the chaos of the Middle East into the Mediterranean, Israel, and Europe. The imminent collapse of Lebanon is certain to give Iran, Turkey, Russia, and China the perfect foothold to project power against Europe’s soft underbelly and Israel’s northern border, but the United States and its allies currently seem too preoccupied to care. Beleaguered friends inside this resource-ric...

David Axe, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* What began as a way to counter the Soviets in the 1970s has resulted in one of America's rivals possessing its own technology. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Five decades after the fact, Iran’s F-14s are only getting better and better.

"On Not Needling"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 2 hours ago
*"On Not Needling"* by Eric Peters "Rational people are defined by their refusal to do irrational things. They ask why – as opposed to saying, ok. A fine example of this would be a healthy person’s decision to not wear a “mask” – or permit himself to be “vaccinated” for an illness that poses next-to-nil threat of serious illness to a healthy person. It would be like someone in their 20s going coffin-shopping. Or giving up driving because there is a small chance they might die in a car wreck. But granny might die! Well, then granny should wear a “mask” – or stay home. Just as grann...
