Josh Marcus of the Independent reports that China wants to target critical infrastructure like water facilities and energy grids, the FBI director said. He writes: Chinese state-sponsored hackers have conducted widespread cyberattacks on critical American infrastructure in recent years, intending to give the country the ability to cause “a devastating blow” against the US, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray. “The fact is, the PRC [People’s Republic of China] targeting of our critical infrastructure is both broad and unrelenting,” he told a security conference in Nashville on … [Read more...]
Your Survival Guy vs. The Boston Globe
I’m a long-time subscriber to The Boston Globe but even I have my limits. I’ve canceled numerous times only to come back to see what’s going on. It’s not good. I can’t even look at the front page it’s so bad as I quickly page to the sports section. Even the sports section has been infected with the progressive viewpoint. But I put up with it because it’s my opinion that athletes, like musicians, and those who cover them don’t have time to read about what’s really happening in the world. My advice: Start the day with www.yoursurvivalguy.com and seek the truth. Here's a sample of today's … [Read more...]
Mike Rowe Explains the Ladder of Success
In a recent Fox Business interview, former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe explained how raising the minimum wage to $15, or any arbitrarily high number, would actually hurt the poor by cutting off the first rung on the "ladder of success." Rowe told Fox Business: I want everybody who works hard and plays fair to prosper. I want everybody to be able to support themselves. But if you just pull the money out of midair you're going to create other problems, like there is a ladder of success that people climb and some of those jobs that are out there for seven, eight, nine dollars an hour, in my view, … [Read more...]
A War Beneath the Waves – Trillions of Dollars at Stake
It’s a war not many are aware of, but national security and trillions of dollars are at stake. Since the 1940s, China has claimed significant portions of the South China Sea using what has come to be known as the 'nine-dash line' map. More recently, Beijing began weaponizing man-made islands in the sea, allowing it to exert greater control over one of the world's major subsea communications cable highways. This has caused panic in the tech industry and the U.S. military as the subsea cables are vulnerable to sabotage attacks and espionage. Anna Gross and Alexandra Heal in London, Demetri … [Read more...]
Dangerous Forecast for Shipping Routes
The Economist tells readers that increasing threats in the Red Sea and a severe drought hitting the Panama Canal show how vulnerable shipping routes can become. Conflicts and droughts could push shipping routes to the north through the Arctic as ice cover continues to melt. The only problem is Russia's growing fleet of icebreakers and its military buildup. Both China and Russia are investing heavily in the Arctic. Shipping lanes are under pressure. Seven of the world’s ten biggest shipping companies have suspended transit through the Red Sea, where the Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group, … [Read more...]

Reagan’s America Remembered by Your Survival Guy and More
“Life on Main Street hasn’t been this hard in a while,” writes Your Survival Guy on the inside, back cover, of The American Conservative. “When I go back to Mattapoisett, MA, where I grew up, and walk up my parents’ stairs, there’s a picture that always stops me in my tracks. It’s of the two of them wearing Ronald Reagan hats at the 1980 Republican National Convention in Detroit.” When you think about that time in America, you know the country was at a crossroads. Reagan inherited runaway inflation and an economy on the ropes. Would he be able to work with Federal Reserve Chief Paul Volcker … [Read more...]

A Fraction of U.S. Defense Budget Hammering Russian Military
Ukraine is becoming a graveyard for Russian military personnel and hardware. It is reported that just 5% of the U.S. defense budget has destroyed about 50% of Russia’s military in Ukraine. Most of the weapons sent by the U.S. to Ukraine were second-tier systems headed to the junkyard or the international arms market before being rerouted, writes Stravros Atlamazoglou of 1945. He continues (abridged): Since the war started, the U.S. has sent or committed to sending more than $21 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, while the total sum of financial, military, and humanitarian aid is close … [Read more...]
Ron DeSantis Backs Donald Trump After FBI Raid
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took to Twitter to support Donald Trump after the raid on Trump's Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago. DeSantis tweeted: The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves.
