Kamala Harris Drinks Drunkenly from the Dregs of Despair | National Review
Okay, yes — Kamala Harris was totally bombed (on something, whether it be drink or pills) when she delivered her Thanksgiving valediction yesterday, right? We can all admit that? You “have the same power [intoxicated pause] that you did before November 5” to recognize that, right? Yes, it’s embarrassing — the only thing harder to conceive of from a professional messaging operation than the video is the DNC staffer who said, “That’s gold, let’s roll with it.” (Imagine the outtakes.) But the hour before vacation is late, and I prefer mercy.

Manchin: Biden’s 17 Nobel Laureate Idiots

"I warned of that, and I got criticized, as you recall, they told me they had 17 Nobel laureates," Manchin said, later arguing that they were "17 educated idiots" that were telling Biden "what you want to hear because you paid them."
-
"You’ve got inflation coming at you hard when you do this, and now you’re still keeping people out of the workforce because you’re going to give them an extension clear up until October 2021 of unemployment benefits, and they can’t go back and can’t be threatened to lose their unemployment benefits," Manchin said. "You’ve got a perfect storm hitting you."

Greenland Base Defies AGW

-
A military base built in Greenland in 1959 is now under 100-feet of ice and snow.
NASA says they just discovered it – Really? Like we don’t know where we have built military bases, and we don’t have the coordinates? And to think, these are the people who are telling us all about AGW?

Gore, Kerry, Greta, NASA and PravdaMedia are all now busy coming up with a ‘story’ explaining why Global Warming has generated 100-feet of additional snow and ice cover in past 57-years.

Russia’s Sputnik And Now Oreshnik

We keep telling ourselves that the US has the most developed weapons in the world, but Russia has demonstrated multiple times that their advanced weapons defy our defensive capabilities.

Russia launched Sputnik-1 October 4, 1957 shocking the world with the realization that Russia could soon strike with a nuclear bomb anywhere in the world with no apparent defense available.

Now:
This week, Russia launched Oreshnik onto Ukraine, a hypersonic Mock-9 missile, with deployable multiple war-heads that could be conventional or nuclear, with no apparent defense available.

However, battle-field nuclear warfare has not been ruled out, and multiple countries have tactical nuclear capability.

Trump Won The Gaetz AG Game

-
Gaetz ends AG bid amid renewed sex misconduct claims
Matt Gaetz withdraws as Trump's pick for attorney general - Washington Times
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz said Thursday that he is withdrawing from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, amid persistent allegations he had sex with a minor and paid women for sex.
-
-
Why do Republicans get disqualified for sex stuff while Bill Clinton used Ak State Troopers to gather-up women for him with no adverse consequences and the Monica thing actually improved his popularity?
-
-
In retrospect, Trump played this political-card very well.
He catered to the Gaetz-TeaParty folks with the nomination.
Gaetz dropped out on his own and was Not dropped by Trump.
Trump now gets to choose a better and stronger AG candidate.
Gaetz now gets to fight for his 2025 House Seat again.

Bondi replaces Gaetz as Trump’s pick for attorney general, removes ‘distraction’

California A NightMare Not Dreaming

Will Space-X Replace NASA?

-
As Trump assumes the Presidency and Musk continues his influence in Trump’s administration, will Space-X replace part of NASA’s missions?

NASA’s Inability/failure to get two astronauts back from the Space Station, causing them to be retrieved by Space-X was a major message that has been largely suppressed!

Weapons Reflections: : Cross-Bow vs Armor

-
Back in the day, selected and well trained knights in armor with swords, spears and long-bows were The weapons of war!
Then came cheap, simple and deadly Cross-Bows that were put into the hands of multitudes of untrained surfs who literally wiped-out the knights.
-
History is repeating itself now as multitudes of cheap, simple and deadly unmanned, armed-drones are starting to dominate the battle fields of Ukraine and Russia.
Countries are scrambling to develop and manufacture these new cheap, disposable, one-way deadly weapons.

Johnson’s HUD Is Really FUD

-
HUD stands for Housing and Urban Development
-
FUD stands for "fear, uncertainty, and doubt" and is a manipulative tactic used to spread negative information and influence perception. It's often used in sales, marketing, politics, public relations, and cults.
-
-
In the signing ceremony for the HUD Act of 1965, Lyndon Johnson promised that it would “become known as the single most valuable housing legislation in our history.”
-
-
What are the results? In 1967 the U.S. homeownership rate was 64%. Nearly six decades and $3 trillion of spending (in 2024 dollars) later, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the home ownership rate is nearly . . . 64%.

Saving Owls By Killing Their Cousins

-
To save spotted owls, officials plan to kill a half-million (500,000) of another owl species
To save spotted owls, officials plan to kill a half-million of another owl species : NPR
-
To save the imperiled spotted owl from potential extinction, U.S. wildlife officials are embracing a contentious plan to deploy trained shooters into dense West Coast forests to kill almost a half-million barred owls that are crowding out their cousins.
-
The notion of killing one bird species to save another has divided wildlife advocates and conservationists. It's reminiscent of past government efforts to save West Coast salmon by killing sea lions and cormorants that prey on the fish, and to preserve warblers by killing cowbirds that lay eggs in warbler nests.

Biden Pokes Russian War-Bear On His Way Out

-
Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike inside Russia:
Vladimir Putin has said such escalations would be an act of war
Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike inside Russia: report | Fox News

(may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article)

Biden's announcement came just hours after Russia concluded one of its largest missile and drone attacks in months, launching over 200 targeting Ukraine's power and energy infrastructure.
-
-
Biden has been walking a narrow and dangerous line in the Russian-Ukraine war.
Supplying Ukraine with war materials to ostensibly be used for Defense-Only within Ukraine.
Now, with only two months to go in office, Biden has authorized the Offensive use of US War materials onto Russian soil and cities and thereby has exposed the US as a Direct participant in the War.

-
History Reflection:
FDR used the “Lend Lease Program” to supply England with war materials to counter German aggression.
Germany launched its U-Boats against US merchant marine shipping.
They then joined Japan and Italy in the Axis war on the US.
We were at War Then --- We are at War Now.
-

Yet another war initiated on the Democrat's Watch.

LATimes Editorial Board Annihilated

Sadly The LeftWing PravdaMedia have abused the public trust as “Not fair & balanced news” and are now suffering self-immolation.

Unfortunately our local Roanoke Times still blindly pumps out material, with an ‘in-your-face’ delivery, totally contrary to their founder,
Mr. Claytor’s promise:
• It has no pets to reward and no enemies to put down.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.

Russia behind plot to plant bombs on cargo planes, Western official says
Russia was responsible for sending two incendiary devices to DHL logistics hubs in Germany and the United Kingdom in July as part of a wider sabotage campaign to possibly start fires aboard aircraft bound for North America, a Western security official told NBC News.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the suspected plot.
Polish authorities have arrested four people and are searching for two more in connection with the case, according to government officials and Polish media.
German and British authorities have said they were investigating suspected Russian sabotage in two incidents in July. A package en route to an aircraft exploded at a DHL logistics center in Leipzig before a scheduled flight. Also in July, a package burst into flames at a DHL center in Birmingham, England.
The packages included electric massagers that contained a magnesium-based flammable substance, the Western official said.

Historic Examples of similar attacks that led directly to WAR:
-
The British-owned steamship Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, killing 1,195 people, including 128 Americans:
The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany. It also contributed to the American entry into the War two years later;

On February 15, 1898, an explosion of unknown origin sank the battleship U.S.S. Maine in the Havana, Cuba harbor, killing 266 of the 354 crew members. The sinking of the Maine incited United States' passions against Spain, eventually leading to a naval blockade of Cuba and a declaration of war.
