Tulsi Gabbard Investigates the 2020 Election Results as Intelligence Duties Shrink

What Tulsi Gabbard is up to now is leading a White House-backed effort to re-examine the 2020 election that Donald Trump lost, with a focus on finding potential crimes—a push that included her involvement in an FBI search of a Georgia election center.

The X-44 Manta Stealth Fighter Concept Highlights a Different Approach for the U.S. Air Force

The X-44 MANTA was a tailless experimental fighter concept meant to show that an aircraft could achieve full yaw, pitch, and roll control without traditional tail surfaces by using 3D thrust vectoring. The effort was envisioned as a joint project involving the Air Force Research Laboratory, Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, and NASA, aimed at demonstrating new stealth-friendly control and design possibilities.

Why the Strait of Hormuz Gives Iran Significant Leverage

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow maritime chokepoint—about 21 miles wide—through which roughly 21 million barrels of oil per day move, making it strategically critical to global energy markets. As the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group arrives in the Middle East, attention has returned to Iran’s ability to pressure shipping there through “gray zone” tactics such as small-boat swarms, sea mines, and missile threats that could disrupt traffic without a formal closure.

A Trial Run for Disrupting the Midterm Elections?
