Russia Wanted Its Own SR-71 But the Plan Was Doomed From the Start*Sebastien Roblin* *SR-71, * The otherworldly-looking RSR was killed as much by its bureaucratic enemies as the technological challenges of its development—but it’s interesting to speculate what response it might have elicited from the United States had it ever been deployed. *Here's What You Need to Remember: T*he Soviet Union was never entirely convinced such technically impressive penetrating strategic reconnaissance planes were a great idea. It’s a cliché of the Cold War that no sooner did one superpower pioneer a new weapons technology that its rival swiftly sought its own ... read more

Florida Stimulus Check: $1,000 for Teachers and First Responders*Ethen Kim Lieser* *economy, Americas* Florida is following in the footsteps of other states like Maryland, New Jersey, and California in issuing their own “stimulus” checks to their residents. The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department may nearly be done handing out coronavirus stimulus checks that were approved under President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, but the state of Florida has promised that even more financial help is on the way. The money, though, won’t be going to all residents in the state, but only to teachers and first responders. The $1,000 c... read more

RIGHT-WINGERS WANT TO NAME THE COP WHO SHOT ASHLI BABBITT BECAUSE THEY THINK HE'S BLACKIn the wake of Donald Trump's recent rallies in Florida and Ohio, Josh Marshall wrote: [Trump] began to suggest or demand (the ambiguity is a central feature of all Trump incitement) the lynching of the Capitol Police officer who shot insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt. “By the way, who shot Ashli Babbitt?

Meet the Benelli Lupo: The Most Accurate Hunting Rifle?*Richard Douglas* *Guns, * Many collectors will love the Lupo. It’s best suited for hunting purposes, but can still be a great self-defense weapon. It shoulders quickly and naturally, and it can hold its own with other rifles in its class. The Benelli Lupo is an accurate, ergonomic, and lightweight rifle that behaves similarly to a shotgun. It’s easy to achieve consistent sub-MOA three-shot groups, with my best group being just .452” from 100 meters. The trigger, which is adjustable from 2.2 lbs up to 4.4 lbs, helps the shooter achieve maximum accuracy, and the rifle comes drille... read more
