Free Tablets Are Available for Qualifying Americans: Here’s How It Works
Thousands of Americans miss out on government assistance simply because they don't know it exists. While headlines focus on major policy debates, quieter programs work behind the scenes to help low-income households access essential technology. One such initiative provides a communication service subsidy to eligible individuals, yet many who qualify never apply because they assume they won't meet the requirements or don't know where to start.

To kill or not to kill, that is the question.
Talking to a special forces soldier, a real warrior, the conversation turned to a situation involving a mission in Afghanistan where while he and three members of his team were approaching their target in a remote hut on a hillside containing high level leaders of a terrorist cell that they were tasked with eliminating. Not only the leaders, but their security detail. It was a high stakes mission, and if it went sideways, they could be in serious trouble. They were in enemy territory with no backup, only their training and skills to help them succeed . The targets were bad people, responsible for killing hundreds of people, civilian and military. And it was a war, so the operation was legal and necessary to prevent more killings. None of that was in doubt. It was hot, very hot. The ground was rocky, and the grass was tall and brown and they crept closer and closer to the hut. They spotted two sentries on guard out side the hut, and a third sitting under a tree. They were armed with AK 47 rifles, They silently planned their approach by giving hand signals to each other. They all knew what to do. Take out the sentries silently and by hand, with knives. They were trained for this, they were deadly killers. They crept forward, seperating to close in on their targets. Just then, a herd of goats crossed in front of them, with a young boy carrying a stick. The herder. Doing his job. He was oblivious to the concealed soldiers in the bush through which he was walking, until he saw one of them, and was about to scream with fright and alert the sentries down by the hut. Quickly, the soldier reared up and and covered his mouth to prevent him from screaming, and wrestled him to the ground, overwhelming his slight body with his heavy muscular body. A team mate crawled over to help him, and they tied him up and gagged him. They didn’t want to hurt him, or knock him unconscious. Once he was imobilized, one soldier stayed with him while the other crawled over to the team leader for instructions. “What should we do with him. He looks about 13, an innocent boy. He’s terrified”.the soldier whispered into the team leader’s ear. “You have to kill him. We can’t afford to let him escape and spread the alarm. We still have to complete our mission and get out of here.” The team leader replied. “ he’s a casualty of war.”

Emerging from disaster.
My name is Tracie, and this is my story. So, I was just scrolling through Facebook, when a post on Emergency RV caught my eye. They were asking for someone to deliver a camper to a single mom and kids. She was a survivor from the LA fires, who had lost their house in the fire, and with it their innocence and their safety net. Their confidence was shattered.They have been waiting, and the delivery had fallen through several times. As a survivor of the Camp Fire, in Paradise, Northern California, where I had lost my home and business, where I met John and Susie, the people running theEmergency R.V. Organization, this touched me. Really, touched me. It's like God was tapping on my shoulder, saying, you can do this one. She needs help, nobody else is coming, right now. So, I prayed for confirmation, and didn't even finish my prayer. So I messaged John, I had taken a week off to do maintenance in my motorhome, which still needs to be done, but no help was coming for me either. I can do this, anytime. I'm not going anywhere, right now. Too much work to do.

A new U.S. Air Force analysis recommends continuing the development of NGAD, as well as terminating the NGAS stealth tanker program which was supposed to support the next gen fighter in contested airspace.
The United States Air Force (USAF) has recently concluded a comprehensive analysis of two major developmental programs: the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter and the Next-Generation Air Refueling System (NGAS) stealth tanker. After months of internal discussions and strategic reviews, the Air Force has decided to continue the development of the NGAD while recommending the termination of the NGAS program. This decision underscores a shifting perspective on how aerial dominance and refueling strategies will evolve in contested environments, particularly in the face of growing technological advancements and budgetary constraints.

Pakistan marks anniversary of shooting down Indian fighter jets.
Pakistan marks anniversary of shooting down Indian fighter jets. On February 27, 2019 Pakistan marked a significant moment in its military history commemorating what it describes as a successful defense operation against Indian aggression. This event known as Operation Swift Retort is remembered as the day when the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) responded to India’s airstrikes in Balakot by engaging and shooting down two Indian fighter jets escalating tensions between the two nuclear armed neighbors. As Pakistan observes the anniversary of this event it highlights the nation’s military preparedness and resolve to defend its sovereignty. The events of February 2019 were set in motion a day earlier when Indian warplanes crossed into Pakistani airspace and dropped bombs in Balakot claiming to have targeted a terrorist training camp. India’s actions came in response to the Pulwama attack which had occurred on February 14, 2019 in which over 40 Indian paramilitary personnel were killed in a suicide bombing. India held Pakistan responsible for harboring the militant group responsible for the attack an allegation Pakistan strongly denied. The airstrikes by the Indian Air Force (IAF) marked the first aerial intrusion into Pakistani territory since the 1971 war significantly raising tensions between the two nations.

"My Boss Dismissed Me Over a Typo: Here is Why I am Grateful"
The Day My World Got Sacked Down It was 3:17 p.m. on a Tuesday when my boss, Karen, stormed into my cubicle, her face redder than the “urgent” stamp she loved abusing. She slammed a printed email on my desk, her finger jabbing at a typo in the subject line: “Quarterly Earnings Report” (I’d written “Quarterly Earing Report”).
