A Few Pennies the Stupider, Perhaps
When corporate education reformers wring their hands and cluck about "learning loss" among K-12 students, they are, of course, talking about a drop in test scores. How else would they ever think to measure such a thing! That drop in test scores is due to a decline of in-person *close surveillance and prodding* (teaching) during the pandemic to *increase test scores* (learning). As E.M. Forster observed early in the last century, As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take the examination syst... read more

Hitler's Last-Ditch Effort to Save Germany Was Truly Horrific
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* To the Nazis, the VS was both a valid and rational response to the events of 1944-1945, just as the rise of the Party itself had been to the fall of Imperial Germany in 1918-1920. Indeed, if anyone’s morale would collapse, it would be that of the Allies, not the German people led by the Nazi Party under Hitler. *Key point:* Hitler had run out of options and feared a coup. On October 18, 1944—the 131st anniversary of the Battle of the Nations’ victory over Napoleon in 1813—Reichsführer-SS (National Leader) Heinrich Himmler stepped up to... read more
California Residents: Will You Get A $600 Stimulus Check?
*Rachel Bucchino* *Stimulus, * State officials project that roughly 66 percent of Californians will receive the second round of state-level relief. The California legislature on Monday approved a slew of bills, including one that sets aside money from the state’s budget surplus to pump another round of state-level $600 stimulus payments into the pockets of residents. This is Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) second effort to send Californians direct checks after the first bill, which passed in February, directed $600 payments to low-income residents earning up to $30,000, along with ot... read more
Crazy World War II Idea: B-17 Bomber Suicide Drones
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The United States began looking at ways to deliver a huge, conventional payload precisely on target. *Key point: *Even as early as the 1940s many countries were experimenting with what are today called drones. When it came to advanced military technology in World War II, arguably no one was better at it than Nazi Germany, whose scientists Adolf Hitler kept busy trying to invent the ultimate “super weapon” capable of defeating his enemies. For a while, it seemed that Germany might just succeed. After all, it was the Germans who had cre... read more
Sorry, Stimulus Check Advocates—Congress Doesn't Care
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Check, Americas* The question of a fourth stimulus check, popular or otherwise, has largely been left out of the picture. There is little doubt that proposals for a fourth round of stimulus checks are popular among the American electorate. Repeated polls have shown that a majority favor them; one survey noted that nine in ten Americans believed that they had been helpful during the pandemic, and another indicated that 65 percent of Americans would support a fourth round of payments. A Change.org petition calling for monthly stimulus payments of $2,000 ... read more
U-2 Spy Plane: A Soviet Pilot Died Trying to Shoot Down Francis Gary Powers
*Trevor Filseth* *History, Eurasia* This is the unhappy fate of Lt. Sergei Safronov, a MiG-19 fighter pilot tasked with intercepting Powers. To the extent that most Americans know anything about the U-2 spy plane, they know that it was used for reconnaissance over the Soviet Union and that one U-2 pilot, Francis Gary Powers, was shot down in 1960. Powers spent nearly two years in Soviet captivity; he was eventually released in February 1962, in exchange for captured Soviet spy Rudolf Abel. The sequence of events surrounding the exchange was dramatized in the 2015 Steven Spielbe... read more
How Does China's Type 99 Stack up Against American and Russian Tanks?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Tanks, Asia* For a main battle tank, the Type 99 is light, maneuverable, and fast. *Here's What You Need to Know*: China is capable of designing and fielding a first-class main battle tank. China has a *lot* of tanks. Like, eight to nine *thousand* of them. Who *else* would bother to maintain such a ridiculous number? The United States. And Russia. (Note that *such counts* include vehicles in storage and reserve. The numbers for tanks in operational units are lower in every case). However, the majority of Beijing’s tanks are old designs, particularly Type 59 an... read more

However, apparently casting doubt on NATO’s Article V collective defense pact, the Russian leader claimed that even if Moscow had sunk the vessel, it wouldn’t have led to World War III.

A bird-brained way to help win a war?
I was amused to read a recent report about Operation Columba (sometimes called Source Columba) in World War II a few weeks ago. I hadn't realized it was still of interest, because it fell out of the public imagination decades ago, but it's nice to see some people still think it's worth remembering. According to Wikipedia, which is the most concise source I can find: It involved air-dropping homing pigeons behind enemy lines in German-occupied France and the Netherlands as a means for locals to convey information, such as troop movements, to British intelligence.

‘Golden State Stimulus Checks’: Some California Residents Are Getting a $600 Check
*Trevor Filseth* *economy, Americas* California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has drawn significant attention to the stimulus check shell out, which some people view as a possible political flex. The coronavirus pandemic has been an economic catastrophe. Thousands of businesses have been shuttered, millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and even as the economy recovers, the unemployment rate remains over 6 percent—almost double the 2019 number—and surveys indicate that four in ten Americans are still economically worse off than they were at the onset of the pandemic.

RIP Cable and Satellite: Will Half of all Americans Cut the Cord?
*Stephen Silver* *Cord-Cutting, * A new survey says that nearly half of all American TV viewers are already “cordless,” and that by the end of the year, cord-cutters may very well comprise a majority of TV watchers. Cord-cutting, or the elimination of cable or other traditional pay-TV in favor of some combination of streaming services, has gained more and more purchase over time, especially during the pandemic, as a lack of sports and a large amount of downtime caused many to drop cable. Now, a new survey says that nearly half of all American TV viewers are already “cordless,” a... read more

The M3 Stewart Light Tank was Better Without its Turret
*Caleb Larson* *Tanks, * The tank sought to address previous light tank shortcomings, but by retaining an underpowered main gun, set itself up for failure as a light tank. The M3 Stuart tank’s origin story begins with the M2, a light tank that preceded the M3. A product of the interwar years, the M2 was perhaps an adequate tank by pre-war standards though quickly became obsolete, lacking first and foremost adequate armor protection. As armored vehicle design matured, it became increasingly apparent that the tank’s 37mm main gun was also insufficient to take on vehicles with incr... read more

In a step that brings relief for millions of low-income families across the United States, the Supreme Court decided against a stay on a federally-imposed eviction moratorium. On Tuesday, June 29, the Supreme Court decided by a split vote (5-4) to deny a request by a group of landlords seeking to impose a federal district court’s ruling to block a residential eviction moratorium put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

How Gaza Dethroned The King Of Israel
How did Benjamin Netanyahu manage to serve as Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister? With a total of 15 years in office, Netanyahu surpassed the 12-year leadership of Israel’s founding father, David Ben Gurion. The answer to this question will become particularly critical for future Israeli leaders who hope to emulate Netanyahu’s legacy, now that his historic leadership is likely to end. Netanyahu’s ‘achievements’ for Israel cannot be judged according to the same criteria as that of Ben Gurion. Both were staunch Zionist ideologues and savvy politicians. Unlike Ben Gurion, though... read more

Stopping The Logging Of Redwoods In Jackson State Forest
Logging has begun in Jackson State Demonstration Forest, 48,000 acres of state owned redwood forestland in Mendocino County in Northern California. The forest consists mostly of heavily cut over land – probably logged several times since logging in the County began in the 1860s. This continued when the state acquired the land in 1947 – the hypothesis then was to acquire forestland to apply science to commerce with goal of demonstrating best practices. Today, seventy five years later, it’s not easy to find much that’s “best” in this highly disturbed forest land. Still there are num... read more
