*Ethen Kim Lieser* *economy, * “The IRS urges all taxpayers to be on guard, especially during the pandemic, not only for themselves but also for other people in their lives,” the agency adds. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Many taxpayers lost their jobs and received unemployment benefits from their respective states because of the ongoing pandemic.

Chinese Communist Party: a party of workers or capitalists?
It’s 100 years today since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was first formed by just 50 members, mostly intellectuals, but including railway and mine workers. 100 years later to the day, the official membership figure is 95m and there are 4.8m party branches. This is surely the largest political party the world has ever seen. A quarter of the membership is under 35 years; 29% are female, up from 12% in 1949 and over half of members have college degrees (that means half don’t!). read more

World War II Legend: General Patton Was 'The Art of War' Personified
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* "The Third Army’s commander was too impatient to sit idly by with German forces within striking distance." *Key point:* Patton's leadership made the Third Army highly motivated and deadly. Lieutenant General George Patton’s Third Army had come a long way since it was activated on August 1 in Normandy. Following the breakout from Normandy in late July, Patton’s army had swept 400 miles in one month’s time all across central France to the Lorraine region, where it was met by General der Panzertruppen Otto Knobelsdorff’s First Army, which... read more

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) renewed calls Monday for President Joe Biden to forgive $50,000 for every federal student loan borrower. “With the flick of a ... read more

This Sailor's Diary Described World War II's Carnage Better Than Most Authors
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* A son uses his father's diary to catch a glimpse of his service in the U.S. Navy. *Key Point: *"As I opened and read through this remarkable little gem, all kinds of questions surfaced." Suppose you found a magic door that opened onto some of the most crucial battles fought in the Pacific during World War II?

Clash of the Steel Titans: Korea's Tank Battles Are Legendary
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* The Korean War saw American tanks face off against their Soviet counterparts for the first time. *Key Point: *"Flash Purple".

The opposing South Korean and American forces, weak and unprepared, were pushed into a shrinking perimeter around the small port city of Pusan. That perimeter was steadily being reinforced, with an eye toward an eventual breakout and counteroffensive. One of the units sent into the Pusan perimeter wa... read more
Lost Cause: The U.S. Was Destined to Lose the Philippines to the Japanese
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* In truth....nothing could have saved the Philippines in 1942. *Key point: *The archipelago was a lonely outpost close to Japan and far from the United States. “Finally at Corregidor there was only a little crowd of American soldiers and Filipino soldiers and American nurses at the beaches, with nothing at their backs but the waters of the Pacific, and the flag came down. Bataan and Corregidor became symbols, like Valley Forge.” So wrote a Yank magazine correspondent in 1942, shortly after the Philippine Islands fell to the Japanese on M... read more

A Long Period Super-Earth around a Nearby Star
[image: Story 448507841] Nu2 Lupi is a G-class star not all that far away in astronomical terms (48 light years) in the constellation Lupus, its proximity verified by parallax measurements and firmed up by the Hipparcos satellite. This is one of the closest G-class stars to our own, and it’s a fast mover in other ways, with a high radial velocity. Its age is estimated at roughly 12 billion years, making it one of the oldest stars near our system. HARPS spectrograph data pulled up three planets here in 2019, two of them later found to transit.
