Russia's Growing Navy Is Still Far Behind America and China*David Axe* *Russian Navy, Eurasia* Russia still has a long way to go. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *More large ships are decommissioning and smaller vessels -- both new and upgraded -- are taking their place, reshaping what was once a major global force into a new kind of regional fleet.

The upgraded missile corvette *Smerch *conducted a ... read more

New sources of information on the InternetWhen I find a new website for information, I browse a few articles for bias (verbs and adjectives), then if that's acceptable and they haven't insulted my intelligence, race, or religion, I look at the "about us" section. Usually, the highest ranking editorial staff are youngish females, usually white. But if I work my way through ownership to the boards and corporate details, it's about 80% white male. Then trapped in the department of DIE, diversity inclusion and equity, there is a minority staffer, usually black, and usually female. Today I was using Balance.com to read about d... read more

Court ordered prescription saves life*Epoch Times:* *Dying COVID-19 Patient Recovers After Court Orders Hospital to Administer Ivermectin* There seems to be a resistance to this medication as a treatment for Covid from Facebook "fact-checkers" to some health care providers. Facebook says it can cause harm without providing any evidence of what harm it might cause. There have also been successful treatments by several healthcare providers who have used the medication. I do not pretend to be a doctor. What I would like to know is exactly what harm they have evidence of it doing. It looks like in this case it was... read more
