Greg Hunter, "Dollar is Going to Collapse"

*"Dollar is Going to Collapse"*By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Money manager and economist Peter Schiff says all the debt and money printing by the Fed will, ultimately, get down to one thing and that is the U.S. dollar. The Fed has been getting away with this turbocharged money creation policy since the last financial meltdown in 2008. In 2021, the consequences of “money for nothing” are finally kicking in.

The devil's in the details: "Community Gun Violence Prevention"

An opinion piece in US News by anti-gun activists Andrew Papachristos and Daniel Webster sounds reasonable on the surface, but when you dig deeper turns out to be a tissue of fabrication and falsehood. It looks very much like an attempt to divert billions of dollars of the "infrastructure spending" promised by President Biden to the cause of gun control. I won't reproduce the entire article here - you can read it for yourself - but it's worth addressing some of its points. First off, most of the statistics and studies cited in the article come from anti-gun sources. (Follow ... read more

Is the Air Force Retiring Some F-35 Fighter Jets Already?

*Caleb Larson* *F-35, * The F-35 is the United States’ Newest Fighter. So Why is the Air Force Considering Retiring Some of Their F-35 Airframes? While the Air Force’s latest F-35 stealth fighter jets are deadly, early-model F-35s wouldn’t stand a chance against a near-peer rival. The Air Force may start to retire their oldest F-35A airfares in favor of newer, more advanced builds of the same airframe, a senior Air Force official suggested in a recent interview.

Thoughts on the Fall of the Byzantine Empire

The Byzantine Empire did not fall due to the crusades but because it had become politically ossified, culturally and religiously confused, and militarily unsustainable.

By the time they realized that negotiations wouldn’t work against the Ottomans, who were determined to conquer everything that the Byzantines had, it was too late.

It certainly looks as if it applies to official US government statistics for COVID-19 infections, which appear to be about as (un)trustworthy as its statistics on inflation.
