Excellent.

Conceptually, to combat cartels and FTOs it's a good idea. Practically, as the article notes, it apparently increases money, people, assets, etc. Efficiency is not gained by increases; it's realized by reduced budgets, people and focused priorities. DEA and ATF are not alone in this. I've...

Add to muddy periods especially cold, muddy periods: the overlapping roadwheel design led to jammed up suspensions and additional maintenance time. Also, the overlap design meant they had to remove three or four roadwheels to change one suspension arm.

Shermans were the best overall tank in North Africa bar none. There were only about 20 Tigers in NA late in the campaign with most being broke and unable to make it to the battlefield and those that did, did not fare well. Italy saw British, Canadian and US Shermans handling German tanks quite...

Great article, but I wish the myth of "designed as an infantry support tank" would go the way of the do-do. It just isn't the case. It was a multi-role tank. I suspect this started because in the 30s the armor force development was at Ft. Benning but was then taken away and moved to Ft. Knox...

You are correct. She has always been a RINO. Grassley is right. These proposed laws are vague and will always be interpreted leaning to the firearms restriction crowd. Who is going to adjudge someone as dangerous? The same mental health professionals who love to push anti-gun views in the...

It's a continuation of the Fast and Furious boondoggle. Mexican cartels don't get their weapons from Joe and Josephine smuggling in weapons in onesies and twosies as was alleged at the time. - Cartels like any other organization buy in bulk - they buy from sources in Central America or overseas...

He'll be encased in clay himself and guard the tomb forever.

Quite the opposite. For decades the finances of the federal gov't had as a key operating principle the "pass through." If X amount was allocated to Y federal agency, a certain amount was passed through to either another federal agency or a contractor or both. This is how THEM were enriched...

... and apparently our interest in building hardened shelters went away when the Berlin Wall fell. Common sense went away, too.

https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/29/1117502/epirus-drone-zapping-microwave-us-military-defense/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us After reading the article, I'm reminded of Earth vs. the Flying Saucers:

The hearsay is from witness statements provided to the police. Now it's in a court of law and hopefully will be determined if it's hearsay or a valid complaint.

l guess we'll find out eventually.

Yup, another traitor working in IT. Snowden was in the same job at PACOM and made this guy look like a piker in comparison. Laptops, thumb drives remived and then defecting to Russia. Yet, some view St. Edward as a hero because he proved the IC was spying on US citizens, something William...

Hitting the kid with her fist and a water bottle and then slamming his head up against the airplane window is not the same as being spanked or grounded for disciplinary reasons. I think what she did is a bit much. BTW, we assume the woman was his mom, but authorities aren't saying what the...

Ok, I'm not 100% digital knowledgeable. How do you get distance and 270 degree (??) shots from a gondola?

Well, his name makes sense considering Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim country.

I'm with you. Life long member of USAA and I'm tired of the increases though they are more slick in doing it with smaller increments. I need to get serious about searching for someone else.

Yup. Great capability with the F15, but a defensive reaction instead of offensive action to take out their bases and logistics. We have been doing that but have learned very little from the sustained offensive actions of the Gulf War.

The Highwaymen on Netflix is a good show about this.
