New Constraints on Exoplanet Photosynthesis
[image: Story 447993909] Most autotrophic organisms on Earth use photosynthesis to work their magic. Indeed, photosynthesis accounts for about 99 percent of Earth’s entire biomass (a figure likely to change as we learn more about what lies beneath the surface). The process allows organic matter to be synthesized from inorganic elements, drawing on solar radiation as the energy source, and providing the oxygen levels needed to drive complex, multicellular life. Does photosynthesis occur in other star systems? We know that it emerged early on Earth, and can trace its development back... read more

Packaging an Unattractive Jew-Hating Homophobic Racial Bigot Proves Difficult
Joy Reid has a lot of problems. Being ugly is just one of them. The gay-bashing *homophobe* and *proven liar*, is facing a dramatic rating collapse. On top of being *anti-Semitic* and a *9/11 conspiracy theorist*, she’s almost ridiculously unappealing. Ricky Maddow might also be a liar and conspiracy theorist, but she at least has a sense of humor, charisma, and a personality that can shift into a gear other than “smug.” Nothing can paper over the fact that Reid has no charisma, isn’t terribly bright, is a painfully predictable ideologue, vindictive, and an intolerant bigot. Lef... read more

What Was It Like Aboard One of America's Last Battleships? A Sailor Tells All.
*James Holmes* *Battleships, Americas* A “ship” is more than a hunk of steel. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Battleships were built to a more primal standard. What was it like serving in USS *Wisconsin*, the *Iowa*-class battleship that now adorns the Norfolk, Virginia riverside as a maritime museum? Well, it was life-changing for this junior officer in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I will never forget cruising across the Singing River in Pascagoula, Mississippi in my fire-engine red Honda CRX, and seeing the familiar shape of a battleship’s bow—familiar from old *Victory at ... read more

*Bruce W. Bennett* *North Korea, Asia* North Korean leader Kim Jong-un appears to be taking some risks trying to solidify his grip on the North in the wake of events undermining his control. The North Korean regime usually takes extreme efforts to prevent outsiders and even its own people from seeing instabilities in the North. But North Korean leader Kim Jong-un appears to be taking some risks trying to solidify his grip on the North in the wake of events undermining his control. Nowhere is the potential for instability in North Korea greater than with regard to Kim’s health.... read more
What If the U.S. Navy Rebuilt Itself from Scratch?
*James Holmes* *U.S. Navy, Americas* Traditional prestige platforms such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers would find themselves demoted in a rebooted U.S. Navy. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Sea power is a conscious political choice, not a birthright or something that happens in a fit of absence of mind. Here's a thought experiment: would America build the U.S. Navy currently plying the seven seas if it were starting from scratch? Color me skeptical. If not, what kind of navy *would* it build, and how can we approximate that ideal in light of budgetary constraints... read more
Two Million Americans Are in Mortgage Forbearance. Can Biden Stop Mass Foreclosures?
*Rachel Bucchino* *economy, Americas* Although borrowers can skip making the payments, they will have to resume them once the pause is lifted. Roughly two million homeowners are still in mortgage forbearance plans following the economic crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. And while the eviction moratorium is expected to expire at the end of July, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau plans to enhance homeowners’ protections from foreclosure under a new set of fuels released Monday.

Naval Expert: North Korea Could Probably Sink a U.S. Aicraft Carrier
*James Holmes* *Aircraft Carriers, Asia* How U.S. commanders arrange their forces will help determine whether a carrier suffers assault from North Korea. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The U.S. Navy should avoid overconfidence in itself. Could North Korea’s armed forces sink an American aircraft carrier? Yes—depending on what type of carrier they confront, how skillfully U.S. Navy commanders employ the flattop and its consorts, how well North Korean warriors know the tactical surroundings and, most crucially, whom fortune favors in combat. Fortune is a fickle ally, prone to swi... read more
Expert: Japan Failed at Pearl Harbor (and China Can Learn From It)
*James Holmes* *Pearl Harbor, Americas* Never jab a sleeping giant. Let him slumber until it’s late in the contest, and you may prevail. *Here's What You Need to Know*: China may have learned the true lessons of Pearl Harbor. As we afford our hallowed forebears the remembrance they deserve, let’s also try to learn from what transpired here seventy-five years ago, and see what it tells us about America’s future as an Asia-Pacific sea power. In particular, let’s look at Pearl Harbor through the eyes of the enemy. Why did Japan do it? Doing nothing is a viable strategic option, and... read more
WHY THE BRITNEY SPEARS TESTIMONY MATTERS
*BRITNEY SPEARS’ SHOCKING TESTIMONY CONFIRMS THAT SHE IS TRULY AN INDUSTRY SLAVE* Since beginning this blog I have constantly returned to the theme of MK Ultra and trauma based mind control. A short list of some of those posts is included. Indeed years ago I almost stopped writing on this movement because it seemed that people were waking up to the evils of mind control, even if just a tad. Sadly, the past year of lockdowns, fear porn and vaccines has proven me to be terribly, so very terribly, wrong. But I digress, the topic here is MK ultra and the entertainment industry not ... read more

Biden’s Iran Policy Is Already At A Dead End
On Sunday the U.S.bombed three positions of Iraqi Popular Mobilization Force at the Syrian-Iraqi border. The U.S. had no right to do such. The legal reasoning the Biden administration provided for the attack is nonsense. As is the claimed rational of establishing 'deterrence' against further attacks on U.S. troops by this or that Iraqi militia group. The last strike in that area in February was supposed to have fullilled the same purpose but obvious did not deter anything. Sunday's strike was immediately responded to with missiles fired against a U.S. position in Syria. More such in... read more
