The BVR Technology & Future Warfare: China vs USA vs Europe
Introduction: The New Face of War In a world increasingly shaped by digital intelligence and machine-led precision, the battlefield is evolving. What was once dominated by dogfights and visible enemies is now defined by silence, distance, and invisible threats. This is the era of Beyond Visual Range (BVR) warfare—a domain where pilots may never see the target they're tasked to destroy, and where machines think faster than humans can react. The adoption and advancement of BVR missile technology marks not only a tactical evolution but a seismic shift in defense doctrines, national identities, and the emotional psychology of warfare.

TACO & PACO. Top Story - June 2025.
On June 1, 2025 Ukraine conducted a massive drone attack on strategic bomber airfields deep in Russia. So deep the drones had to be delivered in secret double ceiling containers by long-haul trucks. The operation had been planned for 1.5 years in complete secrecy and had been personally supervised by President Zelenskyy. The drone attack was incredibly successful as Ukraine claims it has destroyed 41 bombers, or roughly one-third of Russian strategic bomber fleet. Russia has downplayed the operation results claiming that only five bombers had been destroyed.

Project 2025 Isn’t the Threat—The Unconstitutional Status Quo Is
If bringing power back under the Constitution feels dangerous, maybe the real danger is what we've accepted as "normal." The outrage over Project 2025 says a lot—not about the project, but about how far we've let our government drift from the Constitution.

This Is Not Normal. Stop Pretending It Is
Editorial note: I protest. I do. Our current political climate is distasteful, driven by hatred and division, and such a departure from when America was Truly Great. Donald Trump is a symptom, not the disease, but unfortunately for him, he is its chosen figurehead of the far right Christian Nationalist MAGA movement. So if you've read any of my other contributions, the theme is recurrent and most often aimed at rebutting misinformation flung rampantly on social media through memes, mindless repetition of extreme rhetoric, and yes, I'll call some of it outright lies. Oh how I wish for a vaccine. The disease is endemic. Unfortunately, funding for that seems to have dried up.

We Are Not a Democracy: Why the Founders Built a Republic
We say we want to destigmatize mental health to create a space where people can speak openly, seek help without shame, and be heard with compassion. But if you look closer, you'll see a very different trend emerging. Mental health isn't always treated as a concern to be addressed. Increasingly, it's being used as a weapon.
