A case for upholding Mississippi abortion law
Power Line: ... I think Roberts has a plausible theory for upholding Mississippi’s 15 week ban without overturning *Roe*. He can point to precedent in the form of the Court’s other major abortion ruling, *Casey*. That case did not overturn *Roe’s* finding of a constitutional right to abortion (it reaffirmed it), but did reset the period in which that right exists to pre-viability — i.e., up until the time when, it is believed, a fetus can survive outside the womb. This decision altered *Roe*, which set the period a few weeks later, at the end of the second trimester of pregnancy... read more
China's Growing Nuclear Program Worries the Air Force
*Kris Osborn* *China Nuclear Weapons, Asia* What explains China's nuclear buildup? *Here's What You Need to Remembers*: "The Chinese have plans to at least double their arsenal by the end of the decade. They are departing from what has been known as a minimalist theory,” Gen. Timothy Ray, Commander, Air Force Global Strike Command, told reporters at the 2021 Air Force Association Symposium. China's military seems like it is growing in every direction possible. For example, Chinese shipbuilders are adding new aircraft carriers, amphibs and destroyers at an alarming pace.

The Laptop from Hell--summary by Mike Huckabee
Mike Huckabee: Laptop from Hell--Election interference "You know the basic story of how an apparently dazed and confused Hunter left his laptop at a computer repair shop in Delaware in the spring of 2019, only a few days before his father announced he was running for President, and how the FBI ended up with it in what I like to call “protective custody” (they were protecting Joe). Not only is it filled with video evidence of grotesque debauchery, but it also shows how Hunter and the family sold access to his powerful dad. In her book, Devine clarifies exactly what is on the laptop, ... read more

Governors' races put GOP in lead
Daily Caller: The nonpartisan Cook Political Report on Friday shifted eight high-stakes gubernatorial races toward Republicans as Democrats continue to face political headwinds. Ratings in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, three pivotal battleground states, shifted from “Lean Democratic” to “Toss Up.” Each has a first-term Democratic incumbent — Govs. Gretchen Whitmer, Tony Evers and Steve Sisolak, respectively — fighting to win reelection in a state that President Joe Biden won by fewer than four points in 2020. Other states that saw changes were Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Iowa a... read more

Is US-NATO provoking Russia in Ukraine because of energy resources?
We are constantly told that tensions are rising dramatically between US-NATO and Russia over Ukraine. What is actually driving the conflict along Russia's border these days? GN board member Will Griffin again has produced another important video that takes us deep into the reasons for growing conflict between the US-NATO and Russia. (Ukraine is just a tool that is used by Washington to destabilize the region.) In the end the video makes quite clear it is mostly about energy. Europe is in an energy crisis and Russia has built the Nordstream-2 pipeline to send natural gas to... read more

The Spanish and the Treasures of the Americas
Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492—after that it took the Spanish about 30 years to discover the major locations of gold and silver that the native Americans had accumulated. The Spanish looted Tenochtitlan, the great capital city of the Aztec Empire, in 1521. After that they stormed into Central America and plundered the treasures of the Chibcha people of Columbia (this was probably the original El Dorado). In 1530, they arrived in Peru and captured the Inca Empire. When the major centers of population in South America had been plundered, the lust for gold and silver drove the... read more

Pharmacies dealing with supply chain issues on critical medications
Fox Business News: ... Pharmacies are reportedly running out of important prescription medications, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows there are about 111 drugs on backorder – including heart medications, antibiotics and cancer drugs. ... "Manufacturers provide FDA most drug shortage information, and the agency works closely with them to prevent or reduce the impact of shortages," it said, also reporting that about 80% of active pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturers are located outside the U.S. A November survey released by the National Community Pharmacis... read more

Walker impresses in Georgia Senate race
Washington Examiner: ... “He has been running a solid race,” said a Republican operative in Washington who initially worried about Walker’s viability and opposed his candidacy. “The fact that he has a good team and has been listening to their advice is one of the major reasons why he was able to win [Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell] and our orbit over.” The name of Walker’s super PAC derives from the number he wore on his jersey in the NFL and the University of Georgia — also a reference to the election year. Federal law prohibits the Walker campaign from running the sup... read more
Robots Delivering Ammo? The Army Is Making it Reality
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Army Robots, Americas* It is even possible that robotic ammunition platforms could help identify the kind of ammunition needed for a particular attack. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Robotic air drones could also be used quite possibly to autonomously deliver ammunition to helicopters or even fixed-wing aircraft engaged in a heavy, fast-paced exchange of fire with enemy forces. Such a scenario would require some kind of automated delivery or intake system, enabling aircraft to accept and integrate ammunition deliveries. The Army seeks self-guiding, auto-... read more
Why Europe Wants a Sixth-Generation Fighter Jet
*Trevor Filseth* *Fighter Jets, Europe* The consequences of this announcement could be significant. Today, fifth-generation fighters rule the roost. Because of their enormous design, production, and operating costs, they tend to be developed by the countries with the most significant militaries—most prominently the United States, Russia, and China, each of which have devoted significant resources to operate them. The American F-22 Raptor jets and F-35 stealth fighter jets are probably the two best fighter aircraft in the world, although other modern planes, including Russia’s Suk... read more
Bad News: U.S. Air Force Pilots Face Increased Cancer Risks

An Air Force study conducted earlier this year found that fighter pilots and crew members in the U.S. Air Force are “far more likely t... read more

Biden doubles down on Covid restrictions
Washington Examiner: With a new COVID-19 plan focused on increased testing and booster shots, tighter rules for international travel, and an extended mask mandate for public transportation, the Biden administration acknowledged that a full return to normal won't happen until well into 2022. President Joe Biden seems to be betting that too much action is better than too little in the eyes of voters, but that approach could backfire, according to GOP strategist John Feehery. "The Biden team has been misreading the polls on this fairly consistently. That’s why they have pursued a v... read more

Contemporary West's far left "religions" are as dumb and devastating as radical Islam
As recently as 5-10 years ago, I took it for granted that the fuzzy region referred to as the West had an advantage in comparison with the Muslim World that was way more important than the immediate wealth: the ability to think impartially, fairly, rationally, and calmly – a broader pattern of behavior that produces things like science, mathematics, and rigorous trials in the courtrooms as special branches. The Westerners looked so different from the Palestinians or black Africans or Indonesians... when it came to such things. And the rational, balanced judgement is ultimately the p... read more
Morning devotions, Psalm 107
When my devotions include a Psalm, I frequently turn to "Meditations in the book of Psalms," by Erling C. Olsen (1939). It was compiled from his weekly radio addresses which had a huge audience, and 107 was broadcast during 1936, the depths of the Great Depression. That's what I enjoy about his thoughtful analysis--he is using writings 2500 years old with appropriate comments, then applying personal spiritual meaning good for any era, but often comments on the news of the day he was living. His comments about the political and economic situation of 1936 sounds as fresh as last n... read more
