1) People of America, people of freedom, do you not understand what will take place on this very soil, in this very place if the hordes of the fallen ones are allowed to override the forcefields of light throughout the world? I say you must not rest day or night! You must not lay your body, no matter how weary, to rest at night without breathing your prayers to me and to Kuan Yin for the rescue of that island (Taiwan).

Speed Is the Name of the Game in Next-Generation Warfare
*Kris Osborn* *Next-Generation Warfare, * The speed at which information is gathered, processed, analyzed, and transmitted from sensor nodes to shooters or weapons will likely determine victory in war. Wars in the future may not look like a mechanized force-on-force armored engagement across a linear battlefield. Instead, they may involve dispersed, multi-domain platforms moving at must faster speeds than previously imagined. Weapons, explosives, guns, and bombs will be extremely important, particularly when it comes to range and precision targeting. But their effectiveness ... read more

Department of Defense Considers Bolstering Ukrainian Air Defenses
*Caleb Larson* *Russia-Ukraine Crisis, Ukraine* While the Ukrainian military is in better shape than in 2014, it still lacks high-end air defenses to engage modern fighters and bombers.

Can U.S. Navy Submarines Benefit from the Drones Revolution?
*Peter Suciu* *Drones, United States* A submarine-deployed UAV would thus act essentially as a "flying periscope" and could dramatically extend the crew's organic sensor range, and provide target-quality sensor data back to the crew. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: While heavy equipment and larger cargo will still use traditional methods, a vast majority of the goods weigh less than 22.7 kilograms and this is where drones could complement other delivery efforts. Traveling under the water provides concealment for submarines, but it also seriously limits the ability of the cre... read more

beware in the last days of germ warfare
1) Mankind are not fully aware of the fact that thought is the creator of those disease germs called by the scientists “germs,” which are in themselves but the misqualified energy which mankind have released in a microscopic pattern which—because of its virulence and because of its malice which was actually implanted into it by human thought—yet enters into the human bloodstream. And there arises therein a tremendous battle between it and the internal nature of perfection which was implanted by God as a protection to every lifestream within the physical body.

Is a Fourth Stimulus Check Dead? Almost Certainly
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus, * Could the Omicron variant lead to additional checks? The Biden Administration hasn’t included that in its plans for dealing with Omicron—and without the administration’s full support, such a massive legislative lift just isn’t at all possible.

Is the Sig Sauer MCX Virtus Patrol Better Than an AR-15?
*Richard Douglas* *Guns, * It’s sleek, modular, soft shooting, basically anything you would really want out of an AR-15. I refer to my go-to AR-15 as a Honda Civic. The Sig Sauer MCX Virtus Patrol (chambered in 5.56) is more like a Lexus. It’s somewhat of a luxury rifle, something you get when you can afford it rather than something you buy when you need it. It feels good to shoot. It’s accurate. It’s sleek, modular, soft shooting, basically anything you would really want out of an AR-15. But the trick is that this rifle is more like an AK platform on the inside. Yeah, I ended u... read more
Landing Helicopter Assault (LHA) Ships Promise New Capability for the U.S. Marines
*Peter Suciu* *Amphibious Assault Ships, * The USS America operates with at least five Marine F-35B Lightning II fighters as well as MV-22Bs tilt-rotors and CH-53 helicopters as part of a typical Maine air combat element. But it can be reconfigured as needed. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *During the Cold War, the British Royal Navy was the first to transform a small carrier, the *HMS Ocean* (R68), into an assault ship. The *Colossus­­*-class carrier saw service during the Suez Crisis when it was used in the first-ever large-scale helicopter-borne assault. The United States ... read more
Is the Sig Sauer MCX Rattler the Best .300 Blackout Pistol?
*Richard Douglas* *Guns, * I won’t say it’s a straight-up go and buy this right now, but I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed if you pull the trigger on this one. Sig Sauer has done it once again. The Sig Sauer MCX Rattler, chambered in 300 Blackout, is a fantastic platform with a price tag that made me cry on the inside. It’s a firearm that wins huge on style points but is held back by one issue for me. It’s certainly worth buying, but a disclaimer should be attached to it. Let me preface this by saying that I don’t go for pre-built rifles or AR pistols too much these days... read more
What Will Happen With NFL Sunday Ticket in 2022?
*Stephen Silver* *NFL Sunday Ticket, * There could be a “dark horse” candidate for the package. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell gave an interview this week in which he discussed the league’s plans to sell off parts of its TV properties, including NFL Network and the NFL RedZone channel. Also included in that discussion? The fate of NFL Sunday Ticket. The out-of-market game package has been exclusive to DirecTV since it was established in 1994, but that contract reportedly expires after the 2022 season. Goodell has said that he would like a streaming partner to take over the packa... read more

"Exactly Which Dystopian Novel Are We Living In?"
*"Exactly Which Dystopian Novel Are We Living In?"* by Tyler Durden "There’s a debate going on among the disaffected/terrified over which dystopian novel we’re now living in. As John Rubino remarks, some point to social media addiction and designer drugs to suggest "Brave New World." Others see mass surveillance and pandemic lockdowns as putting us squarely in "1984". Still others cite online censorship and cancel culture as favoring "Fahrenheit 451". Each of these opinions seems valid, which is confusing. A prisoner should know the shape of their cell. So it’s a relief to find out... read more
Covid hospitalizations and deaths in Ohio since January 1
On the local news tonight I saw that 2,652 fully vaccinated people in Ohio had been hospitalized, and 646 had died, since Jan. 1, 2021. On the other hand, among the non-vaccinated 44,406 had been hospitalized and 13,326 had died since Jan. 1, 2021. Biden was handed the vaccine, and his people had the benefit of incredible research all before taking office. His administration has struggled with bureaucracy, mixed messages, and scary bullying of the unvaccinated. They obviously were caught off guard by Omicron variant. His CDC ignores natural immunity, and other already approved drugs... read more
