Opportunity missed – a revisit
Happy New Year. This is a repeat of an old post from five years ago. Its message is still apt. One of my favorite quotes about opportunity is “Opportunity is missed because it is often dressed up as hard work.” … Continue reading → read more

Coming Soon To Canada
Dear Leader is still being pampered today at his Harrington Lake winter palace. But when he gets back to Ottawa, expect him to announce all sorts of programs to fight global warming. If you want to see what this will entail, just look at the global warming scams in Britain. I wonder if there is… Continue reading → read more
Sunday morning music
Hello, all! I'm back from my week-long Christmas hiatus. It's Sunday, January 2nd, the first Sunday of 2022. I thought we needed music to remind us of who we are, where we are, and what we should be. Antonin Dvorak wrote his 9th Symphony, "From the New World", in 1893, while serving as Director of the National Conservatory of Music of America from 1892-95. It's an unabashed celebration of the nation that welcomed him with open arms, and has long been one of the most popular of all the symphonies in the classical repertoire. In this time when the 'woke' and the statists oppr... read more
How the USSR's Collapse Ended the Su-47 Fighter
*Caleb Larson* *Cold War, * Unfortunately for both the developing firm, Sukhoi, and for the plane itself, the breakup of the Soviet Union doomed the project. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *While both the Su-47 and the X-29 never made it past the prototype stage, they were important for pushing the limits of what was possible, and some of the technologies they helped prove are in use today. The Su-47 looks like something from a 1960s science fiction novel but is actually tech from the mid-1980s. While innovative, the prototype failed to ever be serially produced — partly bec... read more

ICYMI: So This Is 2022 Edition (1/2)
Well, here we are. It's almost as if the physical universe is not particularly impressed by our arbitrarily created markings of the passage of time. I remain optimistic, however. Here's the reading list for the week. *The Coming Troubles of Public Ed In Virginia* Nancy Bailey joins those looking at the incoming administration in Virginia and concludes that it means bad news for those who love public education and student data privacy. *Education Exodus* A news report covering an Oregon study that looks at teacher stress over the past year. *New laws and old* Gregory Sampson ... read more

2021: Year in Review for Climate Change Wins and Losses
2021 was full of climate chaos, relentless oil industry propaganda, and frustrating progress on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But 2021 also saw a significant number of victories against the expansion of the fossil fuel industry in the U.S. and around the world, and some glimmers of hope for climate action read more
2021 Was The Coldest Year In England Since 2013
By Paul Homewood While the BBC/Met Office have been busy hyping a solitary mild day, they have been strangely silent about the news that Central England has just had its coolest year since 2013: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/cetml1659on.dat Last year continues the standstill in average temperatures, which have now been stable for two decades, […] read more
Will America Lose the Hypersonic Arms Race?
*Alex Hollings* *U.S. Military, Global* Russia and China’s hypersonic weapons have been in service for a few years, and it stands to reason that America’s missiles could be as much as five years behind them before becoming operational themselves. For the first time since the early days of the Cold War, America is lagging behind its international competitors in a technology race with far-reaching military and diplomatic implications. Hypersonic weapons are one of six emerging technologies the Pentagon believes could dictate the outcomes of future conflicts, but as America’s compet... read more

Art of Japan: Depictions of women in Edo Period Modern Tokyo Times Lee Jay Walker The Kyoto artist Nishikawa Sukenobu (1671-1750) was born in the Edo Period.

The Marine Corps' Amphibious Assault Team Takes on Pacific Island Challenges
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* The future of the Marine Corps is aquatic. *Here's What to Remember:* Though the Marines are arguably the world’s premier amphibious assault force—with decidedly offensive capabilities—the recent Hagåtña Fury 21 exercise that showcased the Stinger defensive missile system provides a window into the Marines’ strategic planning for the near future. A recent Marine Corps exercise indicates that should the Marine Corps need to fend off enemy assaults in the Pacific, they have the assets to do it. The future of the Marine Corps is aquatic, though i... read more
How America's Delta Force Became an Elite War-fighting Unit
*Sebastien Roblin* *Delta Force, * Do you want to be the best? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Today, Beckwith’s vision still informs Delta Force’s selective training regimen. To even qualify for the Delta Operator Training Course (OTC), Delta recruits must possess years of experience, with qualification for parachute operations, a “Secret” security clearance, and a clean disciplinary record. Just how much torture is a person willing to undergo to get a prestigious job? Given that an average of 250 resumes are submitted for every job position in the United States, one would ... read more
What If North Korea Nukes Japan?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Nuclear Weapons, Asia* Some experts are convinced that North Korea would launch a broad nuclear attack designed to shock its enemies in the event of war. *Here's What to Remember:* Perhaps the most dangerous strike in Japan would be against Shinjuku Ward, home to Japan’s Ministry of Defense. Here, a North Korean device would kill 56,400 outright and injure 128,310, and the radiation cloud would be the most devastating, spreading over the most densely populated areas of Tokyo. Tokyo has a population of 13.491 million, making it by far the largest city in Japan an... read more

David Berger gave further details about how the Marine Corps will help the U.S. Navy hunt submarines. The strat... read more

Met Office Hype New Year’s Day “Record Temperature”

The Danger And Shame Of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is so terribly hard. On a psychological level, it feels dangerous. The shame engendered by any insult or injury is our experience of vulnerability, and we instinctively react to protect ourselves. That, we must understand, is not a sin, it is an instinct that is a gift from God. […] read more

Who regulates the regulator?
It's over five years since News-watch first rang alarm bells at the fact that of the 13 members of Ofcom's Content Board at the time 10 had close BBC links. Ofcom is, of course, the BBC's regulator. That was in 2016. Now, as we start 2022, *The Mail on Sunday*'s deputy political editor Anna Mikhailova reports that this figure now stands at 10 out of 14, as there's been another member added to the Content Board. Anna writes that: Nadine Dorries is planning to review Ofcom's structure following concerns over bias towards the BBC, *The Mail on Sunday* understands. The Culture Se... read more

Was The Epstein Sex Trafficking Conspiracy All Smoke And Mirrors?
As Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on five of six charges last week/last year, that may sound an absurd question, especially as the State chose to call only four alleged victims to testify against her, which has led many people to claim there has been a massive cover-up to protect guilty men in high places. But […] read more

What The Psychics Predicted For 2021
As we start the new year we should all be looking forward, but it doesn’t hurt to look back to see what was predicted for the past year.

Robert Malone on the Joe Rogan Experience and Other New Year's Thoughts
"Welcome to the new overlords, guys. It's your choice." -Dr. Robert Malone The one-two punch of Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience over the last few days of 2021 is generating earthquakes and tidal waves. A few days ago, McCullough's interview was already the most viewed podcast of all time, with 40 million views. I suspect the pair of these could shoot far past 100 million in the upcoming days. read more
