USS Boxer, Amphibious Assault Ship Carrying Hundreds of Marines, Forced to Return to Port for Repairs Two Weeks After Deploying

Posted by James Nault on April 17, 2024 72 Comments

We have been documenting the U.S. Navy's troubles with one of its premier amphibious assault ships, USS Boxer (LHD-4). This Wasp-Class ship, per the Navy's description, is "[t]he largest of all amphibious warfare ships [and] resembles a small aircraft carrier." It is capable of Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) fighter jet operations, meaning that because Boxer does not have launch catapults, it can't launch classic aircraft carrier fighter jets like the F/A-18, but it can launch the venerable Harrier jump jet and the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. It also carries helicopters and can launch LCACs (Landing Craft, Air Cushioned), which are high-speed, water-borne vehicles used to transport Marines to shore.

NYC Jewish Public Defenders Sue Over Union’s Pro-Hamas Activism

Posted by Jane Coleman on April 15, 2024 24 Comments

After the Hamas massacre on October 7th, Jewish lawyers at New York City's Legal Aid Society faced an environment so hostile they considered quitting, the Free Press reported last month. Members of their own union, the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys (ALAA)/UAW Local 2325, were attacking them from within for supporting Israel, and the reporters had been handed the receipts. Nasty group texts and leaked emails called defenders of the Jewish state “fascist,” “deranged,” and “mentally disturbed,” while hundreds of other messages accused Israel of "genocide," "ethnic cleansing" and "apartheid."
