Anchorage to Tie Earliest Snowfall on Record Today, + Migrants Freezing to Death on Belarus-Poland Border as Early-Season Arctic Cold Grips Europe

America’s broadband crisis: the making of a twenty-first-century cartel
Invoking president Franklin Roosevelt’s Rural Electrification Plan of 1936 in scope and vision, the statement announced: “The President believes that we can bring affordable, reliable, high-speed broadband to every American through a historic investment of $100 billion.”2 In the months since Biden introduced his plan, it has been politically revised with the most recent broadband budget shrinking to $65 billion.3 The politics of compromise led the Democrats to drop Biden’s original call for “universal” broadband and support for community broadband services. Sadly, a decade from now, ... read more

What Happened With the US Marines On Makin Island in 1942?
*Warfare History Network* *World War II, Asia* Not so well known is that on the afternoon of the first day of the Makin Island raid, Carlson’s Raiders gave up all hope of being able to get away from the island and attempted to surrender. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The raid had been moderately successful. Although the raiders had lost 30 men, they had killed approximately 46 Japanese. They had also gained experience in atoll warfare and submarine troop transport. But when the time came to withdraw and return to the waiting submarines, there was a problem. They could not g... read more

The first American astronauts had to show their "right stuff" in Atlas and Titan ICBMs converted from lofting bombs on to Moscow into lofting people into orbit. By all accounts, it wasn't the most comfortable way to ride into space. But in 1952, the U.S. military considered launching men on *real* ICBMs to bomb Moscow.

The "Great Replacement" is in full swing. Only we can stop it.
I can only thank God, quite literally and sincerely, that a man like Tucker Carlson exists, and is unafraid to speak the truth about the carnage and chaos being sown in this country at the present time. Fox News, too, is to be commended for allowing him a platform to do so. The pressure on him, and on Fox News, from the progressive left is unrelenting, savage and vicious. For his latest comments on the border crisis, he's being accused of racism, white supremacist views, and a host of other politically-incorrect "evils". He's not guilty of any of them, of course - he's merel... read more

Israel Is a Middle East Superpower, but How did it Happen?
*Robert Farley* *Israel, * Instead of pursuing its own fighters, Israel has lately preferred to extensively modify the aircraft it buys from the United States. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Israel’s current aerospace strategy is formidable, but it depends on the health of its relationship with the U.S. Since the 1960s, the air arm of the Israel Defense Forces (colloquially the IAF) has played a central role in the country’s defense. The ability of the Israeli Air Force to secure the battlefield and the civilian population from enemy air attack has enabled the IDF to fight at a ... read more

Is this the case with Iran's new cruise missile? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If Iran’s cruise missiles are more accurate than America’s, then Iran has achieved a breakthrough in either satellite or inertial guidance. Which is not impossible, but does require more evidence. The newest Iranian weapon, the Mobin, was displayed at the MAKS 2019 defense trade show in Russia in 2019.

The Yamato is a Prime Lesson in the Economic Realities of Warship Construction
*Robert Farley* *Yamato Battleship, * Warships are (imperfect) reflections of existing economic realities. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Had the war not come, Japan would have bankrupt itself spending on these massive ships. Japan lacked the industrial capacity to compete with the United States; indeed, even if it had managed to seize and keep wide swaths of East Asia, it could not have matched U.S. industrial production for decades. The United States would have responded to Japanese construction with even larger, more deadly ships, and of course eventually with submarines,... read more
