“Domestic terrorism” was used to justify the administration’s censorship agenda targeting its political and social opponents.The First and Second Amendments were targeted, of course. In secret. All fifteen pages of this document are an Orwellian nightmare. Then the classified document also suggested attacks against firearms possession. Part of the plan: BAN so-called "ghost guns" PAY states to pass so-called "Red Flag" laws BAN so-called "assault weapons" BAN so-called "high capacity magazines" And remember this delightful list from the overlords on who were the bandits and wreckers of the...

The Houthis occupy the western on third of the map above of Yemen. A ground presence will not succeed, the Saudis and a coalition of nine nations have made no progress since their invasion in 2015. US involvement in this conflict directly will not end well. Officials: US 'open' to supporting a Yemen ground operation "Under Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden, the U.S. provided significant support to the Saudi-led coalition that fought a war to oust the Houthis from 2015 to 2022,” Sheline explained. “Even with a massive air campaign as well as a ground invasion led by the Saudis and UAE in...

Some genius will be able to determine what percentage of Israeli "aid" packages essentially never leave the DC/VA corridor. That handout of taxpayer funds to Israel coupled with Israel’s, and global, demand increasing for weapons in a period of instability, has been jet fuel for stock prices. Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest weapons firm and the manufacturer of the F-35 aircraft that Israel uses in its regular bombings of Gaza, at the close of trading on October 4, has produced a 54.86% percent total return in the one year following the October 7th attacks, outperforming the S&P 500...

HMS Prince of Wales will lead Carrier Strike Group 25 on a deployment to the Pacific. The Prince of Wales has suffered many propulsion issues (it’s a non-nuclear carrier) and engineering casualties. Non-nuclear carrier operations in war in the 21st century rely on static port refueling or underway POL replenishment. In peacetime, just dandy. In wartime in the missile age we live in, a disaster in the making. No port will be safe and no “blue water anchorage” for logistical refit will be safe. My forecast: the HMS Prince of Wales will not complete this task. They will suffer an existential...

One never knew the "brown-water" (riverine) navy would take to the high seas in this alpha example of engineering excellence. Did you know they designed the Ford with no urinals? We all know why and those toilets instead of the water-less urinals so common today have extraordinary performance during turbulent sea states. They based the toilet system on that used in commercial aircraft. Have they ever been on a commercial aircraft? Those are and always have been terrible. No urinals on a ship at sea. In addition, in another stroke of planning and foresight, the eleven weapons elevators, which...

The Pentagon needs to be taken apart root and branch, a sterling track record of defeat and stalemate for eight decades accustoms the malefactors to continue doing what they are doing when NO ONE is punished for naked and persistent incompetence, misappropriation and courts martial. If PowerPoint were a weapon, no one would stand a chance against the American armed forces. A one year stand-down of all military mischief overseas and a mass realignment starting with firing every flag officer and subjecting them to deep & embarrassing IG investigations is the only way. Every last one of...

In a cavalcade of calamities from a skilled workforce to a broken acquisition process to  a strategic deficit disorder that does not acknowledge the Revolutions in Military Affairs that are dominating and radically changing how naval warfare is evolving. The US Navy has the most advanced twentieth century naval surface combatant force on Earth in 2025. In the emerging salvo competition with quantity having a quality all of its own, the US surface navy is continuing to reinforce technology that is increasingly inadequate and anachronistic in the evolving war continuum. Warship force...
