Does the military need a separate service for cyber? Some lawmakers think so; DoD isn’t sure

It’s been a little over three years since Congress created a dedicated military service to focus on space. Lawmakers are wondering whether it’s time to do the same thing for cyber. The Defense Department hasn’t yet taken a position on that question — officials say they’re still studying the topic of military cyber force design. But some members of Congress are getting impatient. Lawmakers have asked DoD for its recommendations on whether there ought to be a separate military services just for cyber forces more than once. In the 2020…

People Need to Start Using ‘Their Brains’ About Abortion, Ben Carson Says

A little bit of logic and brain power might go a long way in solving the controversy over abortion, Ben Carson says.   “I wish people would just take a step back from all this emotional rhetoric, and just use their brain, and look and see what is in that mother’s womb,” Carson, a renowned brain surgeon, said.   Through modern ultrasound technology, we know that a child in the womb is “a human being with a head, and a face, with eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and arms,…

What You Need to Know About Real Agenda of ‘Transgender’ Movement

The true agenda of what has become known as the “transgender movement” is to abolish sex, according to author and self-declared feminist Kara Dansky.  Dansky, author of the new book “The Abolition of Sex: How the ‘Transgender’ Agenda Harms Women and Girls,” not only takes issue with the objective to destroy the concept of sex, but also with the use of the term “transgender.”  The term “transgender” was invented, but the “word has no coherent meaning whatsoever,” Dansky says, adding that “every single person on the face of the planet,…

Democrats Need to Count Up, Not Down

With the finish line in sight (if still stubbornly out of reach) for the Democrats’ massive social-programs and economic development bill, the party now faces the challenge of focusing the attention of its key constituencies and the public on what remains in the package, not on what was cut in the exhausting legislative maneuvering.

The Republican victory in the Virginia gubernatorial race and the unexpectedly close result in New Jersey’s—both states Biden won comfortably last year—don’t guarantee a midterm wipeout for Democrats in 2022. Rather, the sweeping Republican advance in both states more likely previews the problems Democrats will have next November if the political environment doesn’t improve for Biden. Local…
