Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm show
I want to give a shout out to Independent Media because the Mainstream Media Sucks. No really. It has become absolutely ridiculous. It's no longer simply a chapter of Geroge Orwell's 1984. It is an episode straight out of the Twilight Zone. The comedy of errors has become absurd. On the Fake News Friday episode of the Candice Malcolm show, Candice points out the obvious. The leadership debate is run by the government, not independent media. Those journalists aren’t journalists, they are activists promoting a leftist agenda. Now, when I say they are promoting a leftist agenda, I d... read more

Army Invests in Technologies to Counter Russian and Chinese Defenses
*Kris Osborn* *military, Asia* Target acquisition advancements can identify targets and use computing to draw comparisons with previous scenarios and available weapons to essentially “recommend” courses of action or pair sensors to shooters operating in a tactical situation. The Army is taking a deep dive with General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) in an effort to uncover new target acquisition and sensing technologies capable of penetrating the defenses of Russia and China. This special exploratory effort is called a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement. It ... read more
The Russian Military Is No Joke
*Kris Osborn* *NATO vs. Russia, Eurasia* While the Russian military may not have a conventional force the sheer size of its Cold War force, they have made efforts to both modernize and maintain portions of their mechanized weaponry and platforms. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* Today, Russia’s land forces may be numerically slightly smaller than they were during the Cold War era, yet the technological sophistication of its weapons platforms such as the Su-57 fighter, T-14 Armata tank and S-400 air defenses, not to mention hypersonic missiles and tactical nuclear weapons, pres... read more
For the U.S. Military, War Readiness Must Integrate All Theaters
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Military, Americas* “Only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt,” said President John F. Kennedy in 1961, “can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.” *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“The nature of warfare is changing; it spans an unprecedented theater that stretches from the heavens to cyberspace and far into the oceans’ depths. That demands new thinking and new action inside the Defense Department. Any adversary thinking about pressing for advantage in one domain must know that we can respond not just in that arena but in many ... read more
Who Speaks for Afghanistan’s Women Under the Taliban?
*Amalendu Misra* *Afghanistan, Eurasia* Perhaps Afghanistan’s women are the last line of defense against the country sliding into the abyss and the only hope for its future. Over the last weekend, hundreds of Afghan women belonging to Kabul’s Shaheed Rabbani Education University marched the streets of Kabul holdings placards and signs. This march was undertaken in support of the Taliban, its strict interpretation of Islam, its strict gender segregation rules, and its structure of governance that guarantees women second-class status.

500 Ships in The US Navy? It’s Not Such a Pipe Dream Anymore

Are Glock’s Triggers ‘Too Light,’ or Is It Your Itchy Trigger Finger?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Guns, Americas* Handguns may be about freedom, but they are also about responsibility. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Ultimately, the handgun operator is the only one that can make his or her handgun fire, and it falls to the Glock owner to operate their weapon in a safe manner and learn the ins and outs of his or her firearm. Handgun maker Glock advertises its pistols as the embodiment of perfection, and the Austrian-designed handguns have indeed attracted a fanatical following.

What’s Really in Area 51 (Besides the Alien Spaceships)?

These reveal that in 2017, a huge new hangar was sighted in Area 51 measuring 200 by 250 feet in size—slightly more square footage than a football field—which surely houses *something *of interest.

U.S. Army History Of Iraq War Vol 1 - Chapter 18 – Defeated By Democracy, Winter 2005-2006
The end of 2005 brought continued failure for the U.S. effort in Iraq which the American military was ironically completely unaware of. The commanding General George Casey actually thought his strategy was working and the U.S. could start withdrawing its troops soon. He couldn’t have been more wrong. The country was moving towards civil war as shown by not only violence, but the elections and constitutional drafting process. The U.S. was also ignoring Iran’s interference and England’s failure in Basra. It would take another year for the Americans to realize that things had gone tra... read more

Mean girls--today and 68 years ago
I just watched a Fox News story on the damage social media is doing to young teen girls and their body images. I used to be a young teen girl who hung out with other teens, caring about every word and piece of gossip. We didn't have social media like Instagram or TikTok (the focus of this story). We didn't have personal phones (most of us were on a party line). We didn't have organized sports (against the law in those days). If we took a photo it was on film and it was 2 weeks to get it developed. We all went to church and almost no one had divorced parents. But we still found all t... read more

A Tremendous Tank Arsenal Could Prevent Future Wars

Heavy ground forces are best at deterring war and boosting a country’s overall influence in the aftermath of a crisis.

New Lies
The Republicans are trading in new lies. Dana Milbank writes: On Tuesday morning, one of the most senior and important Republican senators used one of the most prominent settings in official Washington to level one of the most serious allegations possible against the commander in chief. And his charge was based on an utter fabrication. Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho, ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, used a hearing intended for sworn testimony from the secretary of state on the Afghanistan withdrawal to allege that President Biden is mentally incompetent.
