A new poll shows that most Americans are exhausted by political news. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted the survey in early December. About two-thirds of American adults say they have recently felt the need to limit their media consumption regarding politics and government due to information overload. On Dec. 26, a Kremlin spokesperson commented on reports claiming that Russia's air defense had shot down an Azerbaijan Airlines flight on Christmas Day, causing a crash that killed 38 people on board. The spokesperson urged people to wait for the investigation to be completed before drawing any conclusions about the cause of the crash. Holiday travel across the United States faced major disruptions on Thursday due to severe weather. In Texas, nearly 90 flights were delayed, and over two dozen were canceled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, with additional delays at Dallas Love Field and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Most of the costs associated with presidential inaugurations come from privately raised funds. In addition to the swearing-in ceremony, events typically include a parade and a ball, among others. So far, for the upcoming Trump inauguration, the largest donors have been tech companies. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

REPORTED THREE USN ARLEIGH BURKE DESTROYERS SUPPORTING ISRAEL AIR DEFENSE. 2/4: To Provide and Maintain a Navy: Why Naval Primacy Is America's First, Best Strategy by Henry J Hendrix  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Provide-Maintain-Navy-Americas-Strategy/dp/0960039198/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NGUTL4LKSVEL&keywords=to+provide+and+maintain+a+navy&qid=1673808583&s=books&sprefix=to+provide+and+maintain+a+navy%2Cstripbooks%2C86&sr=1-1 The national conversation regarding the United States Navy has, for far too long, been focused on the popular question of how many ships does the service need? "To Provide and Maintain a Navy," a succinct but encompassing treatise on sea power by Dr. Henry J "Jerry" Hendrix, goes beyond the numbers to reveal the crucial importance of Mare Liberum (Free Sea) to the development of the Western thought and the rules based order that presently governs the global commons that is the high seas. Proceeding from this philosophical basis, Hendrix explores how a "free sea" gave way to free trade and the central role sea borne commercial trade has played in the overall rise in global living standards. This is followed by analysis of how the relative naval balance of power has played out in terms of naval battles and wars over the centuries and how the dominance of the United States Navy following World War II has resulted in seven decades of unprecedented peace on the world's oceans. He further considers how, in the years that followed the demise of the Soviet Union, both China and Russia began laying the groundwork to challenge the United States maritime leadership and upend five centuries of naval precedents in order to establish a new approach to sovereignty over the world's seas. It is only at this point that Dr. Hendrixapproaches the question of the number of ships required for the United States Navy, the industrial base required to build them, and the importance of once again aligning the nation's strategic outlook to that of a "seapower" in order to effectively and efficiently address the rising threat. "To Provide and Maintain a Navy" is brief enough to be read in a weekend but deep enough to inform the reader as to the numerous complexities surrounding what promises to be the most important strategic conversation facing the United States as it enters a new age of great power competition with not one, but two nations who seek nothing less than to close and control the world's seas. undated USS Langley
