Inflation is being caused by deliberate government policyWe've talked a lot about inflation over recent months, probably so much that some readers are sick of the subject. Sadly, inflation is going to hit them hard whether they're sick of it or not. It's getting worse by the day. Sundance, writing at the Conservative Treehouse, has an excellent analysis of why US government policy has changed, leading to much higher inflation and overturning policies that might have kept it under control. He points out that it's deliberate policy decisions, rather than purely economic factors, that have caused the sudden escalation in inflation. ... read more

Who’s Still Pushing for a Fourth Stimulus Check?*Trevor Filseth* *Fourth Stimulus Payment, * In spite of the optimistic economic forecasts, some Democrats have remained adamant that a fourth round of stimulus payments would help to reduce poverty and further stimulate the economy. By now, it seems clear that there will not be a fourth stimulus check. The economic recovery is well underway; more than half of all Americans have received at least one vaccine shot, and nearly half have been fully vaccinated; and the economy is projected to grow by roughly 7 percent in 2021, an astonishing growth in a normal year—although less surp... read more

Critical Signs to Watch for Famine in North Korea*Olivia Enos* *North Korea, Asia* Whether Kim’s use of the term arduous march is an exaggeration or not, there are indicators of famine that were observable during the Arduous March that are not observable now due to how closed off North Korea is from the rest of the world. Covid-19 has not been kind to the North Korean people. Like many authoritarian actors around the globe, Kim Jong-un used the pandemic as an excuse to tighten his grip on power. Among the most draconian measures taken was the decision to put an air-tight seal on the country’s already-restricted border with Chi... read more

This F-35C Stealth Fighter Will Be the Star of the Navy’s Sea Strategy*Mark Episkopos* *F-35C, Americas* The Navy aims to replace its aging inventory of over five hundred Super Hornets with a planned procurement of 273 F-35C jets, reimagining the carrier air wing on the advanced foundation of fifth-generation capabilities. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II fifth-generation fighter jet is widely known for its F-35A conventional takeoff and landing variant, and for good reason: the Air Force plans to purchase as many as 1,763 such planes, making it the most numerous fighter in Air Force’s inventory.

The IRS Is Watching: Here Are This Year’s ‘Dirty Dozen’ Tax Scams*Ethen Kim Lieser* *economy, Americas* Many taxpayers lost their jobs and received unemployment benefits from their respective states because of the ongoing pandemic. The IRS contended that this has created the opportunity for thieves to steal that cash. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it appears that tax scams did not take a breather. With this in mind, the Internal Revenue Service has announced its “Dirty Dozen” list for tax scams for the year 2021. “We continue to see scam artists use the pandemic to steal money and information from honest taxpayers in a time of crisis,... read more

Can the A-10 Warthog Hold Its Own In an Aerial Dogfight?*Alex Hollings* *U.S. Military, * Everybody knows the A-10 can bring the pain to ground targets like few aircraft in history, but the aircraft’s tight turn radius and powerful gun can actually make it a force to be reckoned with in a dogfight too. The A-10 Thunderbolt II, more commonly known as the Warthog, is a legendary air support platform that has earned its reputation as the infantryman’s favorite aircraft throughout decades of combat operations… but the Air Force knows that a near-peer fight against an enemy with *real* airpower will mean there’s a chance A-10s may find the... read more
