The Navy hopes its Next-Generation Attack Submarine, currently known as the SSN(X), will be a successful combination of stealth, operational life and autonomous technology — but that idea may not become reality anytime soon.A Wednesday report to Congress sent by the Congressional Research Service said the submarine’s development is projected to be significantly delayed. While the Navy requested nearly $623 million in research and development for the program in its fiscal 2026 budget proposal, the timeline for the attack submarine has not changed since the service delayed its production from the 2030s to the 2040s last year.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — China has failed to intimidate rival claimant states into surrendering their sovereign interests in the disputed South China Sea despite its intensifying “bullying tactics,” and the United States and other allied countries are ready to further boost deterrence against Beijing’s aggression, the U.S. Pacific Fleet commander said.Adm.

This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute. Even while the search for missing people in flood-ravaged Texas continues, the politicized invective has come from the Left. Perhaps the most shocking comments came from Dr. Christina B. Propst—a Houston-based pediatrician who mocked the victims and their families because she perceived some of them might have voted for Donald Trump. Propst—who was fired by her employer—posted on Facebook: May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless…
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack is one of the threats that many preppers and survivalists set as the primary focus of their preparedness strategy. One of the reasons for this is that when you are prepared for a sustained grid-down environment, you are ready for most other probable disasters as well. The problem is that many preppers do not fully understand how bad a large-scale EMP attack could be.

The moment a nuclear device…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday announced sweeping changes to the way the Pentagon buys and fields uncrewed air systems, or UAS, with a goal of establishing “UAS domain dominance” by 2027. Hegseth announced the policy changes in a video recorded on the Pentagon’s front lawn. With Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” playing in the background, a quadcopter delivered a memo announcing the policy changes, which Hegseth then signed.“While our adversaries have produced millions of cheap drones, before us we were mired in bureaucratic red tape,” he said in the video, which he posted from his official X account. “Not anymore.”The memo…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. South Africa’s vital statistics show an unprecedented rise in deaths in 2021 following the rollout of COVID-19 injections, with a 19.6% increase in deaths compared to 2020.

The correlation between the ramp-up of COVID-19 “vaccine” dosing and the spike in deaths in 2021 raises concerns about possible vaccine-related toxicity and warrants further examination for causation, Super Sally writes.…
