Stimulus Check Disaster: One Reason You Might Never See Your Check
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 36 minutes ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Check Taken, * [image: Stimulus Check Money] Two words: bill collectors. The $1,400 stimulus checks from the American Rescue Plan, which was signed by President Biden in early March, have been going out in recent weeks, marking the third round of stimulus checks to be sent since the start of the pandemic. The latest round of checks measured about two million. However, there is something different about the checks that come with this plan than the CARES Act in 2020- they can be garnished by private debt collectors. According to CNBC, the checks from th...
How the Seawolf Submarines Became a Limited Edition Series
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 36 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Americas* These submarines are excellent but costly. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* The Seawolf-class submarines were envisioned as the best submarines ever built. Designed to succeed the Los Angeles–class attack submarines and maintain America’s edge in the underwater domain, the class suffered from cost overruns and the collapse of the Soviet Union. While still some of the best submarines ever built, they were built at reduced numbers. In many respects, they are the F-22 of submarines: widely considered the world's best, but costs made wide the...
Joe Biden Wants to Give 'Stimulus Checks' to Parents. Here's How.
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 36 minutes ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Biden Stimulus, Americas* The expanded child tax credit is a major pro-natalist initiative that is projected to reduce child and family poverty. *Key point: *Many progressives want the expanded child tax credit to be made permanent. President Biden is not yet onboard, but he does want an extension. Millions of American families could see monthly stimulus checks until 2025 if President Joe Biden’s American Jobs Plan sees success on Capitol Hill. The checks, which would be in the form of a child tax credit, were first implemented under Biden’s relief package. Th...
For Real, China's Naval Strategy is Mao Meets Roosevelt
James Holmes, The National Interest - 36 minutes ago
*James Holmes* *Naval Warfare, * China and the U.S. have a lot to learn from each other about naval strategy. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Roosevelt entertained an offensive vision of American sea power, and thus regarded coastal defense as a fallacy of the first order. It's not hard to see why this might be appealing to Beijing. Theodore Roosevelt was an avowed Mahanian. He was also a closet Maoist! Or at least, his convictions about strategies for lesser competitors ran parallel to those made popular by Mao Zedong during the Chinese Civil War and Second Sino-Japanese...
Italy's Really Strange World War I Warship (Help, Please)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 36 minutes ago
*Caleb Larson* *Battleship, Europe* This was a very slow, small, strange-looking gunboat. It couldn't do much, but it had a deadly gun. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The projectile these guns fired was massive — nearly 2,000 pounds of armor-piercing or high-explosive that was intended to send enemy battleships to the bottom of the ocean and could be fired out to over 12 miles. The Faà di Bruno was an unusual floating gunboat, or monitor, that was built in Italy during World War I and was intended for coastal defense or bombardment. Because the Faà di Bruno lacked a pointe...

Why the Pentagon Is Focused on the Hypersonic Missile Race

*Peter Suciu* *Hypersonic Missiles, * Over the past twenty-five years, the Air Force Research Laboratory has invested more than $1.7 billion to develop hypersonic technology. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The forthcoming AGM-183A ARRW (reportedly pronounced "Arrow") is reported to be capable of reaching speeds between 5,000 and 6,000 miles per hour, or roughly between Mach 6.5 and Mach 8. At such speed the missile could hit a target 1,000 miles away in just ten to twelve minutes. Last month the Department of Defense (DoD) identified hypersonic weapons as one of the highest...

America Needs to Get in Gear if It's Going to Out-Build China
James Holmes, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*James Holmes* *Shipbuilding, * When ships get taken out in wartime they need to be replaced. Can the U.S. defense industry keep up? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *On the grand-strategic level, making maritime industry resilient means upgrading shipyards and other defense-related infrastructure—along with the affiliated workforce—so that stricken vessels can be repaired or replaced in a hurry. The United States could lose a Western Pacific naval war because Communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) can regenerate combat power more readily than the U.S. sea services c...
What Can Aircraft Carriers Do For China? A Lot, But Not Everything.

"If our Sun were part of this star cluster, the night sky would glow like a jewel box of bright stars. This cluster, known as M53 and cataloged as NGC 5024, is one of about 250 globular clusters that survive in our Galaxy. Most of the stars in M53 are older and redder than our Sun, but some enigmatic stars appear to be bluer and younger. These young stars might contradict the hypothesis that all the stars in M53 formed at nearly the same time. These unusual stars are known as blue stragglers and are unusually common in M53. After much debate, blue stragglers are now thought to be st...

Society ... practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.”* ~ John Stuart Mill, from *On Liberty* Content is copyright PC.BlogSpot.Com ©...
"A True Mother..."

"For many great deeds are accomplished in times of squalid struggle. There is a kind of stubborn, unrecognized courage which in the lowest depths tenaciously resists the pressures of necessity and ill-doing; there are noble and obscure triumphs observed by no one, unacclaimed by any fanfare. Hardship, loneliness, and penury are a battlefield which has its own heroes, sometimes greater than those lauded in history. Strong and rare characters are thus created; poverty nearly always a foster-mother, may become a true mother, distress may be the nursemaid of pride, and misfortune the m...
