Predicting a Supernova in 2037
[image: Story 479235553] Here’s a story that’s both mind-bending and light-bending. It involves a supernova that, on the one hand, happened 10 billion years ago, and on the other hand, has appeared in our skies not once but three times, with a fourth in the works. In play here is gravitational lensing, in which light from a background galaxy bends around a foreground galactic cluster known as MACS J0138.0-2155. Out of this we get multiple mirror images, and researchers predict another supernova appearance in the year 2037. Three of the appearances of the supernova, labeled AT 2016j... read more

With that theory in mind, the MADAR network was created to detect these UFOs and provide record data collected by these various sensors and detectors.

The Third Child Tax Credit Payment Is Out—But How Long Will it Last?*Stephen Silver* *Child Tax Credit, * The expanded Child Tax Credit is only in place for this year. And whether it will be extended for future years is very much in question. Yesterday was September 15, meaning that the third part of the expanded Child Tax Credit went out to eligible Americans. The payments, as part of the American Rescue Plan Act from March, will continue to be sent once a month through the end of the year. Multiple studies this year have found that the expanded credit has made a huge difference when it comes to reducing poverty. The Center on Poverty and Socia... read more

Did China Sail Warships off the Coast of Alaska?*Kris Osborn* *China, Asia* This might be the beginning of a new era of tension and increased hostility between Washington and Beijing. People’s Liberation Army warships were reported to have sailed near Alaska in what could be a clear effort to challenge or counter U.S. Navy Freedom of Navigation exercises in the South China Sea. The presence of Chinese warships off the Alaskan coast in international waters does not appear to be confirmed, however, it is cited in a Chinese-government back newspaper called the *Global Times*. “A website affiliated with the US Defense Department ... read more

Voices Of Silenced Okanagan Health ProfessionalsThe Easton Spectator ppsted an open letter to Bonnie Henry from a concerned group of health professionals who dare to question the B.C. government narrative on COVID-19 policies. The letter contains many links and raises the obvious concerns about the misrepresentation of cases and the fact that the PCR test is worthless. It also confronts the Fakestream media's false narrative that the hospital protests are an attack on health care workers. In reality, misrepresenting their concerns are an attack on health care workers. read more

The Ultimate Dilemma: Should the United States Recognize the Taliban as Legitimate?*Arash Yaqin, Saba Sattar* *Afghanistan, * Accept the bitter new reality, replay the fiasco of the 1990s, or choose a third way. As the last U.S. troops evacuated Kabul’s airport, Taliban insurgents rushed in wearing American uniforms—a powerful image that perfectly captures the failure of the two-decades-long Global War on Terror. Ironically, the Taliban regime that the United States removed from power was back with a vengeance just in time for the twentieth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In the past half-century, Washington has diplomatically disengaged with Afghan... read more

How America and its Partners Should Seek to Contain China*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* The Quad may shy away from "containment" metaphors, but they should embrace the concept wholeheartedly. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In reality, the Quad is a loose consortium, not a standing alliance anchored by a collective defense treaty. The arrangement bears more resemblance to the pre-World War I “*entente cordiale*” than to NATO. China grumps that the Quad, a league of like-minded Indo-Pacific democracies, is an “Asian NATO” or “mini-NATO” hellbent on “containing” China. If only. Now, Beijing is not entirely wrong to liken the Qu... read more

There’s a mystique to battleships. Whenever inside-the-Beltway dwellers debate how to bulk up the U.S. Navy fleet, odds are sentimentalists will clamor to return the *Iowa*-class dreadnoughts to service.

Kim Jong-Un’s Bodyguards Wield Some Enormous Machine Guns*Caleb Larson* *North Korea, Asia* Talk about packing a big punch. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Their high-capacity AK-74 mags are quite large. North Korea fields a dizzying number of weapons, both small arms and more complex systems like tanks and airplanes. The common thread connecting these weapons together? Almost all of them are copies of other country’s designs. Tanks? Soviet copy. Airplanes? Soviet surplus. Standard issue rifles? Soviet copy. But, one of their own indigenous inventions is a large-capacity magazine. This helical magazine is intended for use with the No... read more

This Homemade Light Machine Gun Helped Win A Medal of Honor*Caleb Larson* *Machine Guns, Americas* Meet the Stinger. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Few of the motley rifles were produced. During the Second World War, the M1919 Browning Machine Gun was the United States’ standard-issue general purpose machine gun. It fired the powerful .30-06 rifle cartridge, and greatly augmented an infantry unit’s available firepower. Still, the M1919 was a crew-served weapon and required a five-man crew to operate: a commander, gunner, assistant gunner, and two ammunition carriers. The machine gun alone weighed over 30 pounds or 14 kilos, and with a ... read more

The U.S. Navy’s Stealth Fighters Can Refuel from Drones*Caleb Larson* *Drones, * Though the Navy’s manned-unmanned pairing programs are still in their infancy, the United States is on the cusp of arguably one of the most significant advancements in warfare in the past hundred years. A recent in-flight refueling test highlighted how far the Navy has come in stealthy manned-unmanned pairings. The United States Navy’s MQ-25 Stingray tanker drone refueled an F-35C Lightning II, a first for the carrier-based drone. Although the flight did not occur off of a carrier flattop, it was an important validation of the Stingray’s interoperabilit... read more

A Bad Mood Election
There's a bad mood in the air. Susan Delacourt writes: This election campaign, soon to be over, has essentially been a bad mood looking for a place to land. It isn’t just those wild-eyed crowds dogging Justin Trudeau’s tour and expanding the support of the People’s Party of Canada, either. For Trudeau and Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, all the roiling, negative emotions running loose in this campaign may make the difference between victory and defeat on Monday. The sheer closeness of that red-blue contest, in fact, would seem a testament to a lack of widespread enthusiasm for ... read more
