Why Are You Asking Us To Compromise On Our Lives?

Nothing useful seemed to emerge from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at COP26 this week. The leaders of developed countries made tired speeches about their commitment to reversing the climate catastrophe. Their words rang with the clichés of spin doctors, their sincerity zero, their actual commitments to lowering carbon emissions nil. Mitzi Jonelle Tan, a Filipino climate activist and spokesperson for Fridays for Future, said that these leaders ‘spew empty, tired promises’, leaving young people like her with a ‘sense of betrayal’. As a child, she... read more

Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela As Existential Threats To The US

One of the extreme ironies of the latest attack by the settler-colonial regime of the United States against the national democratic project of Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua, the second poorest nation in the Americas, universal healthcare and education are guaranteed to the population as a human right, while in the U.S. those kinds of basic human rights are distant dreams. The day after the so-called progressive block of legislators in the U.S. House of Representatives surrendered to President Joe Biden and the right-wing corporate wing of the party on the Build Back Better legisl... read more

Pfizer Secretly Adds Dangerous Ingredient to Injections for 5 to 11 Year Olds as Taiwan Stops Pfizer Shots for 12 to 17 Year Olds

We are creating an entire generation of young people with weak hearts who will either die early, if they survive the COVID shots, or be dependent on the medical system to treat their weakened hearts for the rest of their lives. The CDC and FDA know this, and have even issued warnings about, but they call these events "rare" and refuse to stop injecting young people. Health officials in Taiwan have apparently figured this out, as it was just announced that they are halting injecting children ages 12 to 17 with the second Pfizer shot, due to concerns about heart damage, and that the... read more

Is the Glock 23 the Ultimate Self Defense Gun?

*Richard Douglas* *Guns, * Its track record of reliability, cartridge power, and compact package makes it one of my go-to guns when asked for recommendations for a defensive pistol. The Glock 23 debuted in 1990 along with the new.40 S&W cartridge and has been with us now for over 30 years. Essentially a Glock 19 with a heavier slide and larger hole in the barrel, the Glock 23 is the little brother of the full-size model Glock 22. I’ll never forget the first time I fired a Glock 23. It was a police trade-in second-generation model acquired by the local gun shop, complete with a ... read more

YF-23 Stealth Fighter: Why Did the U.S. Air Force Say No to This?

*Trevor Filseth* *Aviation History, * The Air Force passed on the plane, but it remains a top-notch aircraft—and other countries might be interested. In the 1980s, the Cold War was reaching its highest point—and the U.S. Air Force was searching for a new jet fighter. The jets that the Air Force operated at the time, including the F-14 Tomcat and the F-15 Eagle, were still in the prime of their operational service, but new Soviet fourth-generation fighters such as the Sukhoi Su-27 and the Mikoyan MiG-29 were proving adept as direct competitors to U.S. aircraft.
