Space Force to Guard the Moon

It's been reported that United States Space Force Commander Gen. Chance Saltzman surveyed the Force's members to develop a mission statement for America's newest military branch. Aside from the novelty of crowdsourcing soldiers as to their interpretation of their mission (which I like but could draw criticism from more constitutionalist folks), the result seems to be on target: "Secure our nation's interests in, from and to space."


However — and with all due respect to the general from this son of a sergeant — I believe his interpretation of at least a part of this statement may be incorrect and informed by a bias that is all too common in the sometimes overly conservative and hallowed halls of the Pentagon.

First, having a simple and concise statement is essential. Shorter is better. Having that statement be co-generated by those forming the first cadres of the Force is an excellent idea to encourage buy-in and ownership.

The term "secure" is also essential. Protecting U.S. national interests is the chief priority of all our military branches, from under the sea to above the sky and all places in between.


He interprets securing that national interest "from space" as the defense of systems and technologies such as communications, navigation and missile warning. In other words, protecting those elements of the defense infrastructure vital to what the military refers to as the "Joint Force" (i.e., all the branches that might be part of a combined military action or activity on Earth).

So far, this is all great stuff. However, what the good general is missing in his reading and interpretation, and perhaps, in what his soldiers are saying (although I bet not, given their probable age demographic), is anything referring to the outward-facing phase of developing space activities without reference to direct support of our on-the-planet military posture and capabilities. In other words, the Space Force's role in securing our national interests beyond low Earth orbit (LEO).   READ MORE...

America is Unreccogizable

Is America dying before our eyes?

All societies eventually collapse – from the classical civilizations of Ancient Rome and Greece to the ever-alarming decline of modern America, could the past be hinting at what's in store?

With skyrocketing inflation, political division, social unrest and a relentless effort to wipe away the fundamental principles of the nation, historians and scholars in Fox Nation's "American Requiem" series offer an elegy for what the country used to be and warn of what it has become.

"The America of the 1980s has pretty much vanished," Manhattan Institute senior fellow Chris Rufo said. "We're now entering a new period of unprecedented economic, social and cultural change."

"We're in a very bizarre and unprecedented situation in our civilization today, which is – we are turning on our own legacy and declaring it evil, oppressive, without any redeeming characteristics…" Manhattan Institute senior fellow Heather MacDonald said in the special.

"There's [sic] some days I wake up and read the news and look around me and say, ‘I don’t recognize this country anymore.'" Steven Hayward, a resident scholar at the University of California, Berkley added.

The three-part series dissects America's cultural fabric and the tears that it has suffered, picking out the pivotal changes that signal the nation's exponential decline in the last 30 years that created the country we see today.  READ MORE...

Don't Say Gay Bill

House Republicans have introduced legislation that some critics are describing as a national "Don't Say Gay" bill – inspired by the controversial Florida law that bans instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade classes.

If the federal bill were to become law, which is unlikely in the current Congress, its effects could be far more sweeping, affecting not just instruction in schools, but also events and literature at any federally-funded institution.

Here's what's in the bill – and what people are saying about it.

The bill's language is broad and consequential
The measure was introduced on Tuesday by Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., and co-sponsored by 32 other Republicans.

"The Democrat Party and their cultural allies are on a misguided crusade to immerse young children in sexual imagery and radical gender ideology," Johnson said in a statement, calling the bill "commonsense."  READ MORE...

Better in Britain

Yes, the roads are confusing, the food portions unambitious, the peanut butter not so good, but for this American, life in the U.K. has its compensations.   By Yasmeen Serhan

This September marks my fifth year of living in Britain, a milestone that comes with its own special reward: a test. 

Specifically, the “Life in the U.K. Test,” an examination that anyone seeking to obtain permanent residency rights in the country and ultimately British citizenship must take. 

The test covers all sorts of questions on Britain’s history—including such seeming trivia as the specific ways Henry VIII got rid of each of his six wives—its laws, its values, and its traditions.

“Comedy and satire, the ability to laugh at ourselves, are an important part of the U.K. character,” reads one passage from the official study handbook. In another, pubs are described as “an important part of U.K. social culture.

”Self-deprecating humor and pub culture are just some of the survival skills you naturally pick up if you live here long enough. But as I prepare for this exam, I can’t help but think about all the practical things about British life that the test-prep materials leave out. 

Contrary to what Sir Elton John would have you believe, sorry really doesn’t seem to be the hardest word for Brits (even if they aren’t always using it sincerely). Talking about the weather really is a perfectly acceptable conversation starter. 

“You all right?” really is a simple greeting rather than an expression of genuine concern.  READ MORE...

Inevitable Growth

Since the birth of the USA, about 250 years have passed by to get us to where we are in 2022...  Since a generation spans about 20-30 years (25 on average), those 250 years have given us 10 generations...  10 generations is a lot of time, for instance:

• My family
• My Parents
• My Grandparents
• MY Great Grandparents is still only 4 generations and I have no memory of my Great Grandparents because I never met them...  and, about the only memory of my grandparents were when I was a young child up through my first marriage that my grandfather attended.  Shortly thereafter he died...   I was 21 years old.

So, this should impress upon you the the absolute length of 250 years.

Fighting Child Poverty in America

It was heralded as a game-changer for America's social safety net. It dramatically reduced child poverty. But, last month, the enhanced Child Tax Credit — a kind of "Social Security for kids" — expired, and millions of American children sank back into poverty.

In March 2021, President Biden and congressional Democrats revamped the Child Tax Credit as part of the American Rescue Plan. They restructured it, so that parents could get a monthly check from the government. They increased the credit's size, allowing parents to claim as much as $3,600 a year per child, or $300 a month. And they made the credit fully refundable, so that even super-low-income families who don't pay much — or anything — in federal taxes could get it.

For those primarily concerned with ending child poverty, these changes were a resounding success. Scholars at Columbia University found they reduced child poverty by about 30%. Another study found the enhanced program cut household food insufficiency by 26%.

But President Biden's efforts to renew the credit have been thwarted by opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and congressional Republicans. They disliked how much the program cost and how generous it was, and they worried that it would encourage parents to stop working because it did not have a work requirement.

According to the Tax Policy Center, the beefed-up Child Tax Credit would cost around $225 billion per year (about $100 billion more per year than the original version, which is now back in effect). For context, that's less than a quarter of the annual cost of Social Security, about a third of the cost of Medicare, and about the same as the budget for the Department of Agriculture. A report from the Urban Institute finds that even with the enhanced Child Tax Credit, America spent only about 7% of its federal budget on kids in 2021 — and that is now projected to decline.

As for how many parents stopped working as a result of the enhanced Child Tax Credit, estimates range from about 300,000 to 1.5 million. There are about 50 million working parents in the United States, so even if we accept only the highest estimate, more than 97% of parents continued working after receiving the payments. That makes sense because 300 bucks a month is hardly enough for most families to live on.

The failure of Washington to renew the enhanced Child Tax Credit continues a long tradition in America: Our welfare system has long spent generously on the old, but it has consistently skimped on the young. While America spends about as much, or even more on the elderly than many other rich nations, it spends significantly less on kids. Among the almost 40 countries in the OECD, only Turkey spends less per child as a percentage of their GDP. It's a big reason why the United States has a much higher rate of child poverty than most other affluent countries — and even has a higher rate of child poverty than some not-so-affluent countries.

In a new paper, the economists Anna Aizer, Hilary W. Hoynes, and Adriana Lleras-Muney explore the reasons why the United States is such an outlier when it comes to fighting child poverty. While they acknowledge the reasons are varied and complex, they focus their analysis on one factor: American policymakers, influenced by economists, have dwelled much more on the costs of social programs than their benefits.  TO FIND OUT THE COST OF FOCUSING JUST ON COSTS, CLICK HERE...

Our Going Back Economy

It is nearly half a century since the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries imposed an oil embargo on America, turning a modest inflation problem into a protracted bout of soaring prices and economic misery. But the stagflation of the 1970s is back on economists’ minds today, as they confront strengthening inflation and disappointing economic activity. 

The voices warning of unsettling echoes with the past are influential ones, including Larry Summers and Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University and Mohamed El-Erian of Cambridge University and previously of pimco, a bond-fund manager.

Understanding America...

 

Many people want to see America as country with a lot of faults while many people want to see America as a country that has no faults at all...  BOTH EXTREMES ARE WRONG as is evidenced by the song Monster by Steppenwolf released November 1969...

While history does repeat itself, one must fully understand the past in order to make plans and/or change for the future...  America has grown and has changed but America still repeats its past sins over and over again as if it has not learned anything...

Despite repeating the past, America has economically and financially grown to be the most powerful country in the world...  however, that dominance is now being challenged by CHINA...

• China has a larger military than the USA
• China has a larger navy than the USA
• China's economy is growing faster than the USA
• China owns 1/3 of America's debt
• China is aggressive pursuing Space exploration
• China stated it wants to dominate the world

AMERICA is no longer great...  and, I am not saying that to say America is a bad country...  but it is losing their leadership position in the world because a group of people think America no longer needs to be dominate...  that it should use those resources to give everything to America's citizens...

There is nothing wrong with that until China decides that it wants to control the USA...  then, what will we do?

Will we fight back?

Will we ask our immigrants to fight for us?

Will our WOKE military want to fight?

Our future reminds me of a Joni Mitchell song that later was made popular by Janis Joplin...  BIG YELLOW TAXI

Obesity in America

FROM THE Centers For Disease Control and Prevention...


Adult Obesity Facts




Obesity Prevalence Maps
Adult obesity prevalence by state and territory using self-reported information from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Obesity is a common, serious, and costly disease

The US obesity prevalence was 42.4% in 2017 – 2018.

From 1999 –2000 through 2017 –2018, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 42.4%. During the same time, the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%.

Obesity-related conditionsexternal icon include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. These are among the leading causes of preventable, premature death.

The estimated annual medical cost of obesityexternal icon in the United States was $147 billion in 2008. Medical costs for people who had obesity was $1,429 higher than medical costs for people with healthy weight.

Obesity affects some groups more than others

[Read CDC National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data brief]

Non-Hispanic Black adults (49.6%) had the highest age-adjusted prevalence of obesity, followed by Hispanic adults (44.8%), non-Hispanic White adults (42.2%) and non-Hispanic Asian adults (17.4%).

The obesity prevalence was 40.0% among adults aged 20 to 39 years, 44.8% among adults aged 40 to 59 years, and 42.8% among adults aged 60 and older.

Obesity and socioeconomic status

[Read the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)]

The association between obesity and income or educational level is complex and differs by sex and race/ethnicity.

Overall, men and women with college degrees had lower obesity prevalence compared with those with less education.

The same obesity and education pattern occurred among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic women, and non-Hispanic White men. However, the differences were not all statistically significant. Although the difference was not statistically significant among non-Hispanic Black men, obesity prevalence increased with educational attainment. 

No differences in obesity prevalence by education level were noted among non-Hispanic Asian women and men and Hispanic men.

Among men, obesity prevalence was lower in the lowest and highest income groups compared with the middle-income group. Researchers observed this pattern among non-Hispanic White and Hispanic men. Obesity prevalence was higher in the highest income group than in the lowest income group among non-Hispanic Black men.

Among women, obesity prevalence was lower in the highest income group than in the middle and lowest income groups. Researchers observed this pattern among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic women. Among non-Hispanic Black women, there was no difference in obesity prevalence by income.

So...  here I am...  a white man...  in a white man's land...  and, the black man is telling me that I am BAD and that all my values are wrong and oppressive...  and that only he, the black man, deserves to be in control of America...

AND...  I wonder who the hell are you...  to tell me that???  How dare you compare me to those other white people that you HATE...  How dare you tell me that I am oppressive and that all my white values are wrong...  just because GOD wanted you to be black...

The fact that I am white and you are black has nothing to do with the fact that we are both AMERICANS and are living under the control of those who are wealthy and neither you nor I are to blame for the fact that most of the millionaires and billionaires in this country are white...  it is because of our quality of life desires that these people are wealthy.  If we had not purchased what they were selling, they would not be wealthy...  so, we should hold ourselves accountable not them.

I am 73 years of age...  Caucasian...  lower middle class...  well educated...  a Vietnam Veteran... and retired after working 45 years under the supervisions of intellectual assholes who cared more about power than progress.  I live in the South because it is cheaper to live here, and the weather is moderate.  I do not believe in wars, but I believe in the first and second amendments, and in a females RIGHT TO CHOOSE.  I think marijuana should be Federally legalized and I think all States should embrace lotteries.  I believe slavery was more horrific than what we did to Native Americans but that is the past with which we must live...  It is what made us who we are today...  and, while there are still bad apples in the basket, they are getting harder and harder to find.

We should be teaching UNITY in our schools, not division and we should be teaching young minds to reach out and become smarter and more intellectual than we were or are right now. We should be against tyranny, Marxism, Communism, and Socialism and for a free market enterprise system that creates economic growth but not wealth or income disparities for Americans.  We should be in favor of protecting mother earth but our movements in that direction should be slow, consistent, and methodical and should not follow political party lines to pacify financial donors.

We should have a strong military and should have the best educational system in the world from K-PhD, and if we are not smart enough to cause that to happen then no one should be considered a true doctor of education.

We should be free of color as that is enormously counterproductive and we should allow unfettered access of entry into this country...  If they want to come here they should be allowed.  But, they should learn to speak ENGLISH.  And, all operating manuals should be in ENGLISH as well.  However, if an American want to open a foreign store in the USA where only a certain language is spoken, then that person should be allowed to do this.  Similarly, if a foreign person wants to start a foreign language Television Station or Cable Channel where only a specific language is spoken, then they should be allowed to do this as well.

THIS ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED DIVERSITY IS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY GREAT...

 INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE SUPREME COURT...

MAKE WASHINGTON DC A STATE...

MAKE PUERTO RICO A STATE...

END THE FILABUSTER...

ALLOW ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN...

CENSOR CONSERVATIVE VOICES...

DEFUND THE POLICE...

IF YOU ARE WHITE YOU ARE A RACIST...

WHITE PRIVILEGE MUST END...

This is no longer the country in which I was born and I really don't recognize her anymore...  These changes will not really impact me that much since I am retired and really do not have to play these games anymore...  and, as long as the Stock Market continues to grow, my retirement income will grow as well...  If the Stock Market stops growing and declines, I have money in straight saving accounts and can simply use that money as is needed and there is enough money to pay my wife's and my expenses until we are both 95 years of age...  What could impact us negatively is INFLATION and if that happens we will just have to reduce our expenses as we have already done and can continue to do...

Governmental changes will not really impact us...  but, they will impact YOU...  and your future unless you do something about it.  If you decide to ignore, then down the road you will pay the price...  and, down the road, I will be dead and will not care...

2021: Global Threats to America

Russia remains the primary threat to American interests in Europe as well as the most pressing threat to the United States. Moscow remains committed to massive pro-Russia propaganda campaigns in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, has continued its active support of separatist forces in Ukraine, regularly performs provocative military exercises and training missions, and continues to sell and export arms to countries that are hostile to U.S. interests (its sale of the S-400 air defense system to Turkey is a prime example). It also has increased its investment in the modernization of its military and has gained significant combat experience while continuing to sabotage U.S. and Western policy in Syria and Ukraine.

China, the most comprehensive threat the U.S. faces, remained “aggressive” in the scope of its provocative behavior and earns the score of “formidable” for its capability because of its continued investment in the modernization and expansion of its military and the particular attention it has paid to its space, cyber, and artificial intelligence capabilities. The People’s Liberation Army continues to extend its reach and military activity beyond its immediate region and engages in larger and more comprehensive exercises, including live-fire exercises in the East China Sea near Taiwan and aggressive naval and air patrols in the South China Sea. 

Iran represents by far the most significant security challenge to the United States, its allies, and its interests in the greater Middle East. Its open hostility to the United States and Israel, sponsorship of terrorist groups like Hezbollah, and history of threatening the commons underscore the problem it could pose. Today, Iran’s provocations are of primary concern to the region and America’s allies, friends, and assets there. Iran relies heavily on irregular (to include political) warfare against others in the region and fields more ballistic missiles than any of its neighbors. Its development of ballistic missiles and its potential nuclear capability also make it a long-term threat to the security of the U.S. homeland. 

North Korea’s military poses a security challenge for American allies South Korea and Japan, as well as for U.S. bases in those countries and on Guam. North Korean officials are belligerent toward the United States, often issuing military and diplomatic threats. Pyongyang also has engaged in a range of provocative behavior that includes nuclear and missile tests and tactical-level attacks on South Korea.

In the Afghanistan–Pakistan (AfPak) region, non-state terrorist groups pose the greatest threat to the U.S. homeland and the overall stability of the South/Southwest Asia region. Pakistan represents a paradox: It is both a security partner and a security challenge. Islamabad provides a home and support to terrorist groups that are hostile to the U.S., to other U.S. partners in South Asia like India, and to the government in Afghanistan, which is particularly vulnerable to destabilization efforts. Both Pakistan and Afghanistan are already among the world’s most unstable states, and the instability of the former, given its nuclear arsenal, has a direct bearing on U.S. security. 

A broad array of terrorist groups remain the most hostile of any of the threats to America examined in the Index. The primary terrorist groups of concern to the U.S. homeland and to Americans abroad are the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda and its branches remain active and effective in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and the Sahel of Northern Africa.  SOURCE:  Heritage Foundation, November 2020

COMMENT:  I am curious as to what our current administration is going to do/not do when it comes to dealing  with these global threats...

• Will they try to appease them through negotiations?
• Will they take a strong stand?
• Will they attempt to ignore their influences?

My ongoing concern is that as we rob peter to pay paul so that we can have a vast array of social programs, will that defer monies away from what is really needed to make this country economically strong again....

The wealthy are not STUPID...  and, knowing that they face increase in taxes will shelter their money accordingly so that their taxes increase very minorly instead of substantially...

So, how does that help the US of A?

• Medical for All will be costly
• Open borders and increased immigration will be costly
• Redistributing Law Enforcement Funds will be costly
• Free College Education for All will be costly
• The green New Deal will be costly
• Increasing the National Debt will be costly

I am not that SMART nor am I that IGNORANT...  but, I do believe that a strong global presence to protect our democracy can only be accomplished with a STRONG MILITARY...

...and, I also believe that substantial business growth can only happen when government regulations are removed, otherwise we will have slow growth and quite possibly inflation when there are shortfalls of demand within the marketplace...

CHINA: Our Greatest Threat both Economically and Militarily

There are CORE PRINCIPLES of American Democracy

1. Sovereignty
2. Limited Government
3. Checks and Balances
4. Separation of Powers
5. Federalism (Federal and State)
6. Liberty and Equality
7. Justice Under The Law

According to FOREIGNAFFAIRS.com

"For decades, conventional wisdom in the United States held that it was only a matter of time before China would become more liberal, first economically and then politically. We could not have been more wrong—a miscalculation that stands as the greatest failure of U.S. foreign policy since the 1930s. How did we make such a mistake? Primarily by ignoring the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party. Instead of listening to the CCP’s leaders and reading its key documents, we believed what we wanted to believe: that the Chinese ruling party is communist in name only.

Today, it would be a similarly grave mistake to assume that this ideology matters only within China. In fact, the CCP’s ideological agenda extends far beyond the country’s borders and represents a threat to the idea of democracy itself, including in the United States."

According to INVESTOPEDIA...

In 2018, the Chinese GDP in nominal terms stood at $13.37 trillion, lower than the U.S. by $7.21 trillion. In 2020, the gap is expected to reduce to $7.05 trillion, and by 2023, the difference would be $5.47 trillion. In terms of GDP in PPP, China is the largest economy, with a GDP (PPP) of $25.27 trillion. By 2023, China's GDP (PPP) would be $36.99 trillion.

GDP PPP (purchasing power parity) is gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as a U.S. dollar has in the United States.

Wait a minute... that is not all...

From the Brookings Institution, we see the following:

China wields by far the world's largest military, with 2.8 million soldiers, sailors and airmen—twice the American number. (The United States is number two; the only other countries with more than a million active duty troops are China's neighbors—Russia, India and North Korea.)

NOTE:  China, India, and North Korea support China

Imagine this my friend, when Biden/Harris assume control:

1. Taxes will be raised on businesses, Trump's Tax Cuts will be removed
2. Government Regulations Will Return to Business
3. Monies will be diverted away from the military
4. Medicare for All will be approved draining the Treasury
5. Open Borders will be instituted and Trump's Wall will come down
6. A Green New Deal will be enacted with Congressional or Presidential Support
7. China will be given a MOST FAVORITE NATION status
8. Russia & North Korea will be presented as our enemies

By the next time we vote for a new President in 2024, hopefully you will see by then that CHINA will never and has never been our friend...  that they are indeed a HUGE THREAT to our democracy or whatever form of government that we have by then...  because just as soon as we start diverting all our resources to the welfare of the people...  The COMMUNIST CHINESE GOVERNMENT will seize the opportunity to take control of the rest of their continent on its way to conquering the world...  and, they will form economic and military alliances with India, Russia, and North Korea...  and, just because America is despised in the MIDDLE EAST, they too will join forces with the Chinese...

This leaves Great Britain, Europe, Canada to look towards the USA for help but Americans will be too busy to offer their help as they never liked wars anyway and think the world would be a better place if we would just learn to play with each other.

Think For Yourself This Time...

 

What would like in America be like if we only had the DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

Would we have any guns or firearms at all in our possessions...

Would not having firearms stop crimes with firearms...

Would we still have freedom of speech if we spoke out against the Democrats...

Would we be able to find employment if we spoke out against the Democrats...

Would our Federal Taxes continue to increase every year...

Would we be allowed not to smoke marijuana...

Would we still have a well supplied law enforcement...

Would there be any need for us to have a US Military or Space Force...

Would we still have gasoline cars...

Would would be forced to think like liberals...

Would would still be allowed to worship in our churches...

Would 13% of our population still tell us what to do because of slavery...

Would our history books be rewritten to reflect this new truth...

Would employers be forced to hire until there is no unemployment...

Would China, Russia, India, and North Korea be seen as friends and allies...

Would there be a law against having so much wealth unless it is shared with everyone...

Would there be enough medical supplies and medicine to help everyone...

Would we be fighting in foreign lands to promote Democracy and stop Communism...

Would would still be allowed to own our home and other property...

Would we have a new United States Constitution...

Would we change the name of our country to reflect our new IDEALS...

Would all wealth be redistributed according to one's needs and not work ethics...

Would our BRAVE NEW WORLD have what it takes to survive...

UNDERSTAND THIS...  IF YOU WILL...

China's economy is the largest in the world according to PPP GDP

China sees the US as its adversary in global domination

The Middle East literally HATES the USA

Europe and Great Britain will FALL without the military support from USA

Global Terrorism will escalate without the USA to stop it

The USA has the most natural resources in the entire world that others want to have
