ANALYSIS โ Decades after the infamous Roswell incident captivated Americans, the House of Representatives has convened a landmark panel on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), also known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). In what would have been unimaginable just a few years ago, the hearing is the most serious acknowledgment yet that the mysterious sightings require scrutiny at the highest levels of government.

ANALYSIS โ There is plenty of evidence that communist China under Xi Jinping is marching steadily toward war. Some experts and military leaders have given a timeline of conflict over Taiwan occurring sometime during the next two to three years. There is an argument that says China will soon surpass the United States in economic power (GDP) and that Chinaโs rise to global supremacy is unstoppable. Others argue that China is peaking as a superpower before beginning a rapid population decline during the next 20-30 years. The latter group, including the authors of the insightful book, “Danger Zone,” warn that…

Questioning fromย Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump appointee,ย during Biden’s hearing, uncovered that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Bidenโs legal team were not on the same page regarding the scope of the…
ANALYSIS โ In the never-ending drone, counter-drone war in Ukraine, Russia is developing a new type of loitering (or hibernating) unmanned aerial weapon system. To avoid ever-present electronic countermeasures, the Russian โJokerโ drone can reportedly take long naps before attacking targets. This new drone can be parked on rooftops close to the battlefield before being activated (woken up) right before it is needed and launched. According to the Russians, this will reduce the droneโs time to target (TTT) to just a few seconds. And this will make the detection and suppression of drones that much more difficult.

TUESDAY PDB โ Trump and DeSantis debut dueling military policies. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantisโs presidential campaign and former President Trump this week rolled out dueling plans for the U.S. military, with both light on details and heavy on gripes over Biden efforts. While DeSantisโs proposal took aim at diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the Pentagon, recruiting woes and policies impacting transgender service members, Trumpโs proposition focused largely on seeking reimbursements for U.S. aid to Ukraine, lambasting Europe for what he decried as only a โtiny fractionโ of what Washington had contributed. (NOTE โ Europe has provided far more than a “tiny…

ANALYSIS โ This is a huge and underreported story about the role of stateย militias in America. Theย republic was founded by state militias. The Secondย Amendment references state militias. State militias, manned by armed citizens, were intended to be the ultimate protectors of states against an overreaching federal government. Yet, the current National Guard, the supposed descendant of those state militias, is barely recognizable as those militias today. For over a century, the federal government has steadily extended its authority over the Guard, making the stateโs Guard units a de facto second reserve for the national Armed Forces.
