Wisconsin Catholic Priest Defies Authorities and Warns His Flock on the Dangers of the COVID Injections
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
We've called out those in the clergy who have claimed to represent Christ and are urging people to go out and get the COVID injections, so it is only proper that we also give credit to the clergy when credit is due. A Catholic priest in Wisconsin, James Altman of St. James The Less in La Crosse, has incurred the wrath of the corporate media for daring to defy health regulations, and for warning his congregation about the experimental COVID shots, pleading with them to NOT get them and become "guinea pigs." James Altman has pretty much defied everyone in authority above him: the lo...

Why America and Russia Don’t Fear China’s ZTZ-96 Main Battle Tank
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *China, Tanks, Asia* The ZTZ-96 could be considered China’s first modern main battle tank. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The M1A2D and Armata are likely to leave the ZTZ-99A in the dust. It’s unlikely for the Chinese military leadership will want to prioritize another new tank project, however, as the PLAN seems to have been the focus of recent developments. What's up with China's tanks? Can they keep up with the Armata and the M1A2D? One interesting aspect of China’s tank fleet is that all of the designs are relatively young compared to European, American or Rus...
Assessing the F-35: How Failure Can’t Stop this Stealth Fighter
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Alex Hollings* *F-35, * This fighter was meant to give America’s warfighters an edge over the competition, and if you ask the guys and gals flying it, that’s exactly what it’s done.

From overt statements about the aircraft’s financial woes to newly announced tech issues causing “strategic pauses” in development and even an apparent lack of confidence in the aircraft coming out of the Air Force’s top...

TRUMP'S SHRUNKEN WORLD
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 9 hours ago
As we approach Joe Biden's hundredth day as president, we're being asked to read about ... Donald Trump's first hundred days as *ex*-president. Politico has a feature story. CNN has even longer and more flattering feature story. But why? Trump isn't doing rallies. He hasn't found a way to get attention the way he did when millions of people awaited every tweet with eager anticipation or dread. And he's not president. Nothing he does has an impact on ordinary Americans. He's easy to ignore, but we're supposed to believe he's still very, very important. CNN's Gabby Orr writes: Far ...

*Full screen recommended.* *"Brace For Explosive Prices & Extensive Shortages* * As Supply Chain Crisis Gets Much Worse"* by Epic Economist "The effects on ocean freight capacity are starting to get worse almost a month after the Ever Given ran aground in the Suez Canal. When the Suez was blocked, ships arrived late to critical ports of call. Transporters had to respond by canceling sailings that were scheduled on these late ships. Earlier this month that many of these sailings will likely be delayed for longer than forecasted, and the altered schedules have been forcing transporter...
