  • We Need a Limited Military Draft

    Military.com ^ | 7/29/23 | Joe Plenzer
    It's time to change how our country fills the ranks of our military. Since 1775, our nation has used a combination of volunteers and draftees to meet our national defense personnel needs, especially in times of crisis. Today, the military needs only about 160,000 youth from an eligible population of 30 million to meet its recruitment needs. But after two decades of war -- both of which ended unsuccessfully -- and low unemployment, many experts believe the all-volunteer force has reached a breaking point. And American confidence in its military is at a low.

    Twitter-ruining billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly blocked access to Starlink on multiple occasions during the Ukraine and Russia war.Per a recent report from the New York Times, sources state Musk has restricted access to SpaceX’s satellite internet system in the region “multiple times.” In one example, Musk reportedly turned down a request from Ukraine’s military to enable the server near Crimea. This decision had an impact on “battlefield strategy,” the report noted. Musk also reportedly “refused” a request for access in connection with a drone intended for Russia-controlled ships. NYT reports that Elon Musk personally thwarted a Ukrainian military operation...

    Taylor Swift, an apparent strong believer in Trickle-down economics, is reportedly giving six-figure bonuses to all of the truckers carrying her equipment around the country for her Eras Tour. TMZ reports that each trucker was given a $100,000 bonus check after her show last Saturday in Santa Clara, California. Around 50 truckers received the bonus, which works out to about $5 million in money from Swift. That may sound like a lot – and it is – but please keep this in mind: TMZ says the nationwide tour has made over $1 billion in sales. It could end up being...

    Paula Scanlan joined the swim team at UPenn as a way of getting over a nightmare from her past. Instead, it brought it up all over again. The 23-year-old Connecticut native began swimming at age 8, and she credits the sport for helping her recover after surviving a sexual assault in a bathroom at age 16. “To be honest, swimming was the only thing that kept me going,” she told The Post. But after earning her spot on the University of Pennsylvania’s swim team, Scanlan was troubled by the school’s decision to allow transgender athlete Lia Thomas to switch from...
