Bird of Prey: Boeing's Lost Budget-Busting Stealth Fighter*Alex Hollings* *Stealth Fighters, Americas* Today, there are no platforms in service that can draw a direct lineage to Alan Wiechman’s unusual Bird of Prey, and that may be part of the reason it’s not frequently discussed. Throughout the 1990s, a team of engineers from McDonnell Douglas’ Phantom Works developed and tested a unique stealth fighter shrowded in the secrecy of Area 51, known to most as the *Bird of Prey*. Unlike most stealth programs, the Bird of Prey, developed under the alias “YF-118G,” wasn’t aiming for operational service, but elements of the design and producti... read more

Why Armies Phased Out Flamethrowers*David Axe* *Flamethrowers, World* “Regardless of the technology or tactics, it still took a brave man to strap heavy, bulky tanks of fuel and gas onto his back and step out into the line of fire.” *Here's What You Need to Remember:* And McNab’s slim volume, the latest in a long series of weapons monographs from Osprey Publishing, eloquently conveys the flamethrower’s awfulness, plumbs its disturbing implications and celebrates its slow demise. All in evocative prose. “All weapons are, by their very nature, ghastly in purpose,” Chris McNab writes in the introduction of his new b... read more

How Long?Justin Trudeau came back to parliament with an agenda. But events, Chantal Hebert writes, could alter that agenda: Part of the Liberal rationale for holding a snap election was the hope of riding out a possible post-pandemic economic storm from the relatively safe harbour of a governing majority. By all indications, Erin O’Toole and his caucus are willing to bet the house on inflation turning out to be the Achilles heel of Trudeau’s minority government. They are bringing a case that the Liberals are missing in action on the economic front with the same gusto that characterized th... read more

In Defense of TribalismA tribal society has a poor reputation because tribalism is incompatible with the modern capitalist or communist state (the leviathan, in the words of Thomas Hobbes), in which social order is maintained through an establishment consisting of big government (the bureaucratic institutions), large crony-capitalist companies, the military and police apparatus, and intellectual institutions (academia and the mainstream media). Since both capitalism and communism aspire for total power, they have vilified tribalism by spreading false propaganda. In tribalism, social order and adherence to... read more

Woke crowd led California down the path to more crimeWashington Examiner: ... So when the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a California prison reduction of up to 46,000 inmates in 2011, the tide was turning toward liberals, and the time was ripe for Proposition 47. This was a ballot initiative that passed three years later, downgrading numerous nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors. Police and politicians say it was an ill-conceived law that tricked voters, as evidenced most recently by a surge in looting in the Bay Area. Because thefts aren't usually prosecuted, many retailers in liberal San Francisco have shut down. "The easiest way to... read more

Democrats weak bench exposed by Biden-HarrisNick Arama: Joe Biden has just horrible poll numbers. As we noted, about ten days ago he hit his lowest approval number in the Quinnipiac poll at 36 percent. He was less popular than the least popular governor in the country — Oregon’s Kate Brown. That’s how unpopular he is at this point. But if the Democrats thought they could toss him to the side and bring on Kamala Harris, there’s a flaw in that plan. The only person with lower numbers than Joe at this point is Kamala, who was at an abysmal 28 percent approval at last check this month. So it’s not like Americans are going to ... read more
