Why National Security Agencies Must Analyze Climate RisksThe Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, seen from an airplane. (Wiyre Media, https://flic.kr/p/2aVmrKp; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) July marked the initial deadline for the Pentagon and other federal agencies to draw up plans for potential climate risks, under an executive order by President Biden. Such plans are an essential first step, but the greater challenge for national security agencies is to continue to redirect their focus to changing climate conditions that pose a complex, two-pronged threat: social and political ins... read more

Is China’s DF-100 Missile a True Anti-Ship Wonder Weapon?*James Holmes* *China, Missiles, Asia* It’s unclear whether the DF-100 is a cruise or ballistic missile. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * An 1,800-mile radius from mainland shorelines encloses an awful lot of sea space, including expanses that mariners regard as “blue water”—the high seas where great navies roam. In a sense, then, the family of missiles PLA weaponeers have fielded in recent decades—including the DF-100—lets China have it both ways in Pacific waters, and to a lesser degree in the Indian Ocean. So China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) unveiled new weaponry dur... read more

A Good Idea? Why You Should Take Social Security Earlier*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, United States* A key reason is if your health isn’t great, and you’re betting that you might not live long enough to collect Social Security for a matter of decades. When it comes to strategizing when to claim Social Security payments, many advise that people should start later. After all, if you begin collecting Social Security at age sixty-two, you get fewer benefits than if you wait longer. “It is important to remember: If you delay your benefits until after full retirement age, you will be eligible for delayed retirement credits that would... read more

Claiming Social Security Benefits at 62? You Won't Get Much*Trevor Filseth* *Social Security, Americas* Pulling one’s benefits out at sixty-two is, over the long run, likely to be an expensive mistake. *Key Point: *Social Security normally takes effect at a person’s “full retirement age” (FRA)—the age at which it is projected they will stop working and retire. This age has steadily increased since 1935, the year that Social Security was founded; it is now between sixty-six and sixty-seven, depending on the year that the claimant was born. The Social Security Administration allows Americans to claim their benefits before the FRA. However... read more

Between Roosevelt and Mao: China’s Navy Discovered the Secret to Naval Greatness*James Holmes* *Chinese Navy, Asia* Both Roosevelt and Mao coveted conventional triumphs on oceanic battlegrounds. The chief difference: spared decades of internal strife and foreign invasion, Roosevelt’s America had trodden farther along its pathway to industrial and military might than had Mao’s war-ravaged China. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Roosevelt and Mao, then, aren’t as odd a couple as you might think.

Republicans Need Trump’s Ideas, Not His Tactics*Aram Bakshian Jr.* *2024 Elections, * Republicans stand an excellent chance of recapturing both the House and the Senate in the 2022 midterms.

Four From Planet Five and that Technologically Advanced Civilization
Here’s something that I have said for years. When a technologically superior civilization encounters a technologically inferior civilization, that technologicalyl inferior civilization ceases to exist.

In The Spotlight
There's one thing about COVID that's undeniable. It puts stupidity in the spotlight. Eugene Robinson writes: This is the GOP’s pandemic now. Cynical and irresponsible Republican politicians have created an environment that is killing Americans who shouldn’t have to die, swamping hospital systems with desperately ill patients, and generally ensuring that the pain and disruption of covid-19 are with us longer than they need be or should be. And they’ve done so in their own self-interest. Stupidity seems to be the one thing that unites Republicans. And Florida governor Ron DeSantis ... read more

As we attempted to do just that, we ran into a number of technical issues that had to do with Internet connectivity at his end. He kept fading out and we were only getting about 45% of what he said. It just wasn’t working, so we postponed the show. I’ve invited him back, and we’re working out a date that will be satisfactory for him. This week, given some changes, I decided to bring back Don Schmitt. We have both been around the UFO field for a very long time. ... read more
