‘We’re going to lose fast’: U.S. Air Force held a war game that started with a Chinese biological attack

Last fall, the U.S. Air Force simulated a conflict set more than a decade in the future that began with a Chinese biological-weapon attack that swept through U.S. bases and warships in the Indo-Pacific region.

Do We Even Have A Republic Anymore?

The idea of a republic is that the people, through their representatives, get to make the laws that govern the country, but it appears that’s no longer a thing. What if you made a law, and no one enforced it? Is there even any point to the exercise? And if we can make all the laws we want and not have them enforced except in the limited manner that the people hired to enforce them choose, are we even a free country?

By the time independence was declared, the war for independence had already begun. King George and Lord North did not just have an “Aha!” moment and wish the rebels well. The Founders knew they were in for a difficult struggle.
