FOOT-VOTING: The great exodus out of America’s blue cities.
This is why GOP donors should get behind my Welcome Wagon idea, where transplants are met with explanations of why the places they left suck, and why they shouldn’t support the same policies in their new homes.
MAKE THE U.S. NAVY GREAT AGAIN: It is imperative that America’s fleet reach 355 ships within the next ten years. There is, in fact, a path to achieve this goal that is both achievable and affordable.
A longer article, but this part stands out:
From a naval perspective, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is pursuing a mix of high-end and low-end ships and submarines. This strategy would allow the PLAN to spread out across the vast Pacific Ocean in sufficient numbers to locate and interdict U.S. ships. At the high end, China is investing in aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered fast-attack submarines and large surface combatants equipped with advanced radars, surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and surface-to-surface missiles. While China’s high-end ships are designed to go toe to toe with their American counterparts in battle, Beijing is unlikely to close the United States’ technological head start. Therefore, China is aiming to close the capability gap by fielding mass quantities of low-end ships.
While the United States will not start buying frigates until the 2020s, China is building a new frigate every six weeks. Vast numbers of these low-end ships will increasingly patrol China’s expanding front lines in the western Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. Backed by a growing arsenal of longer-range and more sophisticated air and missile weapons, the Chinese navy will have a highly capable and numerically larger maritime force by the middle of the next decade. If this situation comes to fruition, it could make the projection of U.S. naval power cost prohibitive in the western Pacific, undermining the credibility of our alliance commitments. Indeed, China currently calculates that western Pacific nations — South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and perhaps even Australia — may ultimately align with the Middle Kingdom.
Wealthy maritime trading nations maintain powerful navies, or they don’t remain wealthy maritime trading nations.

NEITHER VICTOR NOR VICTORIA COULD BE REACHED FOR COMMENT: ‘Drag Kings’ Hope to Detoxify Masculinity by Dressing Up as Men (Who Act Like Women). “Peacock’s idea is that, because actual men have all been socially conditioned to be ‘toxic,’ we need actual women to pretend to be men to show us what men could be like if they weren’t all so darn toxic.”
Hating men for being men is a perfect example of toxic anti-femininity.
