Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is said to be behind an ominous threat, which appeared on Iranian regime-linked Telegram channels on Monday. The message, along with footage from an underground Iranian nuclear facility, threatens to weaponize the country’s atomic energy program and build a missile capable of destroying New York City. (RELATED: What is Biden’s ‘Plan B’ to Stop Iran From Getting Nukes) Iran expert Ben Sabti tweeted that an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) “Telegram channel threatens to produce atomic warhead for missiles,” citing the channel’s message: “Iran can immediately return to Emad project and build an atomic…
After an extended competition between various solid contenders, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has selected the propeller-driven AT-802U ‘Sky Warden,’ made by L3Harris Technologies and Air Tractor, for its Armed Overwatch mission. This has given proponents of prop planes for close air support a big boost. https://twitter.com/fouzichetouane/status/1554288739165388801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw SOCOM plans to use the single-engine Sky Warden as Air Force Special Operations Command’s (AFSOC’s) Armed Overwatch plane to provide close air support, precision strike and armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions for counterterrorism operations and irregular warfare.

ANALYSIS – This is a topic I have been engaged in for years. I have discussed it with retired generals and top Pentagon officials, but it rarely gets the attention it deserves. Sending America’s military officers to prestigious civilian schools is a big reason the military is going ‘woke.’ And going woke is a big reason the Pentagon is suffering an ‘unprecedented’ recruiting crisis.

ANALYSIS – Since the day after January 6, 2021, I have been saying that the violent riot at the Capitol, which I observed as a risk consultant, not a participant, was outrageous, ‘ugly’ and ‘criminal.’ I denounced the violence in no uncertain terms. However, I also argued it wasn’t a coup, or an insurrection. I have steadfastly stood by my position since and documented FBI findings and many other sources that contradicted the deliberately false and partisan “insurrection” narrative.

A video depicting a ‘robot dog’ zipping around and firing a fully-automatic submachine gun attached to its back has begun circulating on social media. (RELATED: Cute or Dangerous? Watch Out for Russia’s Remote-Controlled Spying Robot Rock) The video was originally posted to YouTube in March by Alexander Atamanov, an inventor and tech entrepreneur. In the video, we see Atamanov’s ‘dog’ prowling the edge of a firing range with standup targets. This “training ground,” as Atamanov describes it on Facebook, features some sort of exterior building with a BRDM-2A / BDRM-2M armored vehicle seen to the right side of the range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SemFKpeeMnM Born in Russia, Atamanov began…
ANALYSIS – Even a broken clock is right twice a day. There is virtually nothing I would ever applaud Nancy Pelosi for doing. On the contrary, I consider the radical speaker one of the greatest dangers to the Republic. But today I will applaud her for her apparent decision to defy Communist China’s threats and bullying, as well as concerns expressed by the always meek Team Biden, and visit our besieged island ally – Taiwan. Of course, the Speaker’s Asia tour could also be a distraction from her husband’s apparent insider trades worth up to $5 million on semiconductor stocks ahead of a…

As millions of poor Mexicans and others are illegally flooding the United States, America is getting its revenge. A flood of well-off Californians and other Americans has made its way legally to Mexico City, and many Mexicans aren’t happy at being on the receiving end of the migration phenomenon. The Los Angeles Times (LAT) report on Wednesday described how some Mexican locals are “fed up” with the growing number of Americans, especially Californians. LAT says that in the first four months of this year, 1.2 million foreign visitors arrived at Mexico City’s airport, while the State Department reports that there are 1.6 million Americans living in…
