Leftist Morons on Display
Robert, Small Dead Animals - 16 hours ago
The word “racism” is very easy to define: Differentiating a person or group of people based on their racial ethnicity. Period. But the Radical Leftist brainwashing facilities, otherwise known as universities, have done their best to redefine this word. You will not find a better example of this than the responses to this tweet by… Continue reading →

Should the U.S. Military Really Put the a-10 Warthog on the Chopping Block?
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *History, * Do we really believe the era of low-intensity wars has ended? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In again putting the A-10 on the chopping block, the Air Force is assuming it won’t ever fight anything short of a full-scale war against a peer enemy. The U.S. Air Force in its 2021 budget proposal asked Congress to let it retire 44 of its roughly 280 A-10 Warthog attack jets. It’s the second time in recent years that the flying branch has tried to slash the A-10 fleet. It’s fair to say that, in the 2020s, budget appropriations are the biggest threat to the...

Forever Stimulus: How Biden Could Keep the Stimulus Checks Coming
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Payment, * There are those in Washington who are mostly unenthusiastic about offering more monetary assistance to Americans. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Under the legislation, the enhanced credit will potentially give parents and legal guardians a total of up to $16,200 of cash per child. And those with children living at their residence could be the beneficiaries of a monthly $300 check per each child for about four more years—through the year 2025.

$16,000 Stimulus Payment: You Are Two Steps Away
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Payment, * Thanks to President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, those who pay out of pocket for child care services in 2021 can eventually claim those expenses in tax credits up to $16,000. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *White House officials have said that the reach of the benefits will be expansive—estimating that households representing more than sixty-five million children, or nearly 90 percent of all children in the country, will receive the payments via direct deposit, paper checks, or debit cards.

The Horror Story of How the Biggest Battleship Ever Committed Suicide

*Kyle Mizokami* *Imperial Japan, * The battleship Yamato was among the largest and most powerful battleships of all time. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The destruction of *Yamato* was inevitable even as far back as the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was clear that the age of the aircraft carrier had already superseded the battleship, but the insistence of battleship-minded general officers to cling to obsolete military technology undermined Japan’s conduct of the war and sent thousands of Japanese sailors needlessly to their deaths. In early 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy ma...

*"The View from Abroad"* *Notes on the World’s Motherlode of Moral Hypocrisy* by Fred Reed "Among the more nauseating elements of what has become the American national character is the moral preening, the lecturing of others on the virtuousness of the Exceptional Nation, on America’s incontinent goodness and sense of superiority.

The U.S. Army’s ‘Suicide Squad’ Was Ready to Sacrifice Everything to Beat Russia
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Cold War History, Europe* Theirs was a mission that may have caused Moscow some pain but also was certainly doomed to fail. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Fortunately, this unit was saved by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Had the Cold War turned hot, there would have been no escape for the U.S. garrison in West Berlin. Marooned in a city more than 100 miles inside Communist East Germany, the U.S. Berlin Brigade—and the British and French garrisons as well—would certainly have been overwhelmed by Soviet and East German troops. Their presence helped keep half o...
How Good are U.S. Super Aircraft Carriers? Russia Has Answers.
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Lyle J.

Are You One of the 10 Million Americans That the IRS Overcharged?
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *IRS, United States* Here's how you find out. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The American Rescue Plan Act contains a $10,200 tax break for unemployment benefits received in 2020, which were not previously deductible. Therefore, the IRS is sending rebates to people who paid taxes on the unemployment benefits (up to $10,200) that they received in 2020. This week, after nearly completing the distribution of the March 2021 $1400 stimulus checks, the IRS has made another announcement: it is sending out another series of refunds to an additional 10 million people...
Chinese Special Forces Have Been Winning Battles Totally Under the Radar

*Michael Peck* *Special Forces, * Do improvements in China's special forces mean they will be used more often? Would America's current foreign policy even be possible without special operations units to battle insurgents or train friendly troops in the Middle East and Africa? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Special forces are only as good as their transportation, and China is developing the capability to convey special forces to where they are needed. Some special force units get all the attention. America’s Delta Force, Russia's Spetnatz, and Britain's SAS have glamorous re...
This May Be the Worst "Jet Fighter" Ever Made
David Axe, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*David Axe* *History, * And no, it isn't just because it was made of wood. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Exactly which of history’s hundreds of fighter designs qualifies as the worst is a matter of opinion. Experts have nominated a few standout failures. The F-35 stealth fighter suffers a litany of design and production flaws. It’s heavy and expensive. It lacks maneuverability. Its internal weapons bay is too small. At high speeds, it can tear itself apart. But for all its problems, the F-35 isn’t the world’s worst fighter. Not by a long shot. Exactly which of history’s hu...

Saturday Snippet: An ancient enmity

Rudyard Kipling is so well-known as to need no introduction. His poetry and prose are particularly apposite to military men, and he's often quoted by them in their descriptions of battle and service life. However, he also wrote about the natural kingdom, particularly for children. I grew up with his "Just So Stories" and other tales, and still enjoy them as I grow old. Here's his story of Rikki-tikki-tavi. THIS IS THE STORY of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bath-rooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment.

One Thing Is Stopping You From Getting a $10,200 Stimulus Payment

Do America's Tanks Need to Be Stealthier?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Tanks, The Americas* The tank as we know it must change … or die. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * The Pentagon’s future tank could resemble a stealth fighter jet more than an armored behemoth like the current M-1 Abrams. The military wants a vehicle that can survive lethal anti-tank missiles, but without having to haul around so much armor plate that it can barely move. It should also have stealth capabilities to avoid detection. What might this future tank look like? A conceptual drawing of the Ground X-Vehicle looks like something out of *Star Wars—*four w...
This Photo Is One Thing: North Korea's Worst Nightmare Come True
David Axe, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*David Axe* *North Korea, Americas* At the time of the elephant walk—the first for the F-35—the Utah wings possessed around forty F-35s. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The roughly 100 U.S. F-16s and A-10s in South Korea and Japan—and any F-35s that deployed in time for the first day of fighting—likely would be the first to hit North Korean artillery. And they'd have to launch fast to save lives in Seoul. On Nov. 19, 2018, two U.S. Air Force wings in Utah launched thirty-five F-35 stealth fighters in a short span of time. The air force lauded the display as evidence of Ameri...
Is Biden Done? The White House Isn’t for More Stimulus Payments
Eli Fuhrman, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Eli Fuhrman* *New Stimulus Payment, * The Biden administration has not indicated that it is intent on pushing for a further round of stimulus payments. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The federal government recently promulgated guidelines regarding the use of money sent to state and local governments as part of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, a program created by the American Rescue Plan. These guidelines included a section on direct payments, indicating that the money could be used for payments similar to those sent out by the federal government. The ...
Vaccines: truth, lies, and controversy
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 18 hours ago
Peter Gotzsche is no crank. Rather the opposite, in fact. In the world of evidence based medicine, he is one of the great heavyweights. He was a founding member of the Cochrane collaboration, is a professor of clinical research methodology at the university of Copenhagen, and has had his work repeatedly published in all the leading medical journals. His blunt honesty and willingness to speak truth to power, even in the face of personal consequences, makes him one of my personal heroes.
Innumeracy of public health officials

Due to the utterly sensible, relaxed approach of the common folks, Czechia has had the highest number of Covid-19 per 100,000 people in the whole world. The graph of new positive PCR tests per day looks like this: Click the picture to zoom in (source). A nicely natural function, right?
