Ugh. I hate when the headline doesn’t even remotely match the story. The story has absolutely NOTHING about why the leak “had” to happen, only on the mechanics of how and to whom. It still doesn’t say who the actual leaker is, only to whom the story was leaked.

Crappy journalism complaining about crappy journalism, albeit different kinds of crap.

Masonic membership has dropped approximately 50% in the last 20 years. At the current rates, North American Freemasonry will cease to exist by around 2040-2050.

The country would be a LOT better off if both parties governed that way: “what would I say if this was coming from my opponents? Would I be okay with it if the other party did this?”

The Russians have a long, long, history of exaggerating their weapons systems abilities, whereas the West has a history of understating ours.

We should stop calling it an invasion and start calling it “colonization,” because that’s a more accurate description. Besides, it’ll put the left in a tizzy because they sure enough HATE colonizers.

Legal tyranny is still tyranny.

I want them played at my funeral - Scotland the Brave, Loch Lomond, and Amazing Grace.

Seriously? I do not think so.

20ish years ago I worked for US Customs as it transitioned into CBP and ICE. It was absolutely happening then.

It’s been happening for decades.

The machine gun. It completely ended the use of horse cavalry, which had been the arm of "shock and awe" for several thousand years.

With respect, you missed the party where many doctors don’t accept Medicaid. When you increase the pool of available doctors, overall wait times decrease.

It’s more interesting to me that the 8 is a different color. I read it as 8-647, not 86 47.

For example... Koran 8:64-67

64. O prophet! Count on God, and on the believers who have followed you.

65. O prophet! Rouse the believers to battle. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will defeat two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will defeat a thousand of those who disbelieve; because they are a people who do not understand.

66. God has now lightened your burden, knowing that there is weakness in you. If there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will defeat two hundred; and if there are a thousand of you, they will defeat two thousand by God’s leave. God is with the steadfast.

67. It is not for a prophet to take prisoners before he has subdued the land. You desire the materials of this world, but God desires the Hereafter. God is Strong and Wise.

American Filament for 3d printing. Made completely in the US by a husband and wife team in Huntsville, Alabama.

I agree. From the article:

"...I thought that it wasn’t emblematic of what most Americans are thinking about. They’re trying to pay their mortgages, rent, buy food and groceries, pay gas and deal with the prices, the cost of living. And they want safety in the streets. That’s primarily what most American citizens are about, trying to live in peace and harmony."

He's perfectly correct here. There's a civil war brewing in the Democrat party between the center left and the far left. I suspect the center left will ultimately win because the pendulum of history is swinging against them. SAS and James Carville, along with a few others, are the first voices really speaking out about moving the party back towards the center.

That's the weak spot. What's to stop "authorized personnel" from simply adding in a few extra votes? Inner city polls have done this for years.

You are correct. They just made an already less than perfect database worse.

Not quite. These are "asylees" who were given valid SSNs under direction of the Biden administration. The admin is now marking them as dead in the NUMIDENT, although they are not dead.

They've just introduced false information into the NUMIDENT database, which is never a good thing. What happens when someone who's marked "dead" decides to do things the right way and comes back here legally? It's going to be a cluster.

Totally false reporting.

What happened was the MySSA site started showing payment status for both RSD (Retirement, Survivor, Disability) and SSI. People were only reading the SSI line, not reading the literal next line down. 100% user error.

People are reading WAY too much into this. An M88 is an armored recovery vehicle - it’s a tow truck for tanks. Rolling a track in marshy or wet terrain is frighteningly easy to do - I’ve done it myself. I was lucky that my Bradley didn’t roll completely.

3rd ID is based at Ft. Stewart, Georgia. They train in different places around the world for a bunch of reasons - it gives everyone the chance to train a rapid deployment under peacetime conditions instead of wartime, it’s good to go to different ranges than the ones you’re used to, etc. These training deployments are planned years in advance. This is a tragic training accident, nothing more.

Here’s a better article.

From that article: “Bullock was unhappy about being disciplined at work and having his truck taken away from him.” There is also a pic, he’s a bald 60 y/o white guy.
