White Wolf, White Wolf - 16 hours ago

North Carolina: Land of the Fourth Stimulus Check?
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Payments, United States* [image: Biden Speech Stimulus] It’s unclear how much support the governor's proposals have in the state legislature in North Carolina. As the money from the American Rescue Plan nears the end of its distribution, some states are looking at sending out stimulus of their own. California recently passed the Golden State Stimulus, and now North Carolina’s governor is proposing something similar. In a statement Wednesday, Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina pitched his idea as “recommendations for how North Carolina can most effectivel...

Harold C. Hutchison, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Harold C. Hutchison* *military, Americas* The Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird is rightly viewed as a legend. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Moscow and Beijing are racing to build hypersonic weapons and so is Washington. A new SR-71 might just be the quickest way to get there. The Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird is rightly viewed as a legend.

*Victor Davis Hanson* *, * With more than 3,000 rockets having been fired into Israel by Hamas recently, the Democratic Party seems paralyzed over how to respond to the latest Middle East war. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The new core of the Democrats, as emblemized by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan have in the past questioned the patriotism of American Jews who support Israel and occasionally have had to apologize for puerile anti-Semitic rants.

Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *B-2 Bomber, Pacific* The Air Force plan is to keep the B-2 flying for at least another decade or two, so they have to be ready for anything. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While always important, warfare readiness in the Pacific has taken on some new urgency in light of escalating tensions between the United States and China, a scenario resulting in an increase in patrols, combat exercises, and training missions throughout the region from both countries. The U.S. Air Force is refining its bomber attack preparations by moving to a more “dynamic” operational ...

Why? In 2017, a Finnish F/A-18 Pilot Landed on a U.S. Aircraft Carrier
David Axe, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*David Axe* *, Europe* Zooming out, the carrier landing is a small event. But it is noteworthy given the larger context of Finland partnering more with the NATO countries. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Finland is in the early stages of shopping around for a replacement fighter, which could be new F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, F-35 Joint Strike Fighters or F-16s. Or Finland could buy European Gripens, Rafales or Typhoons. On March 17, 2017, in the Atlantic, a fighter jet landed on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The only difference this time was that the p...
XA100: GE's New Jet Engine Could Transform the U.S. Air Force Forever
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Alex Hollings* *Engines, The Americas* Fighters have always had to maintain a tightrope walk between unleashing the power of their engines and saving enough fuel to be effective in a fight. With GE’s XA100, that’ll get a whole lot easier. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *This first demonstrator was intended to not just offer an incredible amount of power, but a huge improvement in engine efficiency that can grant greater fuel range and longer loiter times than ever before. GE just completed its initial test runs of the first full-scale XA100 three-stream adaptive combat engi...

David Axe, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*David Axe* *North Korea, North Korea* [image: Reuters] Was making a bigger base a bad idea? *Here's What You Need To Know: *Pyongyang has been improving its heavy artillery in parallel with efforts to develop increasingly heavy, accurate, and long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. A multi-billion-dollar plan to move thousands of U.S. troops farther from the Korean demilitarized zone in order to get them out of firing range of North Korean artillery appears to have failed. At the same time that the Americans are moving onto their new base, the North ...
Are China's Bases in the South China Sea Really "Unsinkable Aircraft Carriers"?
David Axe, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*David Axe* *China, East Asia* In the event of war between the United States and China in the western Pacific region, the outposts likely would be important targets for the Americans. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“Rumors suggest the new islands’ concrete is crumbling and their foundations turning to sponge in a hostile climate. And that is before considering what a direct hit from a super-typhoon might do.” China’s island outposts in the China Seas might have a major weakness. Since 2013 the Chinese government has dredged and mostly destroyed ecologically delicate reefs ...
M.N.ホプキンスの談話 -「私たちは道の分岐点に来ている
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 20 hours ago
私たちは道の分かれ道に来ています。 一つの道は人類の新しい始まりにつながり、もう一つの道は昔と同じ退屈で空虚な存在につながる。 選択の時が来ました。 自由と自己決定の王道を行くか、それとも奴隷化と誤った方向性の慣れ親しんだ道を進み続けるか。 今がその選択の時なのです。 すべての時間は、選択の時から生まれるのです。 私たちはどちらかの道を選ぶ。 これは脚本に書かれています。 自立と自決の人生を選ぶか、自由と民主主義と偽って奴隷になる空虚な道を選ぶか。 この2つの言葉は、神から与えられた選択する能力と人間の共同体を作る能力からあなたを遠ざけるために誤用されています。 協力の代わりに、強制と強要があります。 神がこの地球上に与えてくれた通りに生きる勇気を持つ人々に対する脅しと罰です。 専制君主に導かれ、財産を奪われ、尊厳を奪われ、堕落した状態を受け入れ、自らの鎖や監禁条件を維持することに協力することになります。 自由になって、自分自身と自分のコミュニティに責任を持ちましょう。 よく維持され、繁栄している存在を作るために自分の役割を果たしてください。 過去を土台にして、今日、新しい未来を創造してください。 もう、奴隷ではありません。 最初からそうであったように、そして時の終わりに再びそうなるように、自由な男性と女性に戻りましょう。 あなた方を支配しているこ...
