  1. Russia deploying their training units into combat with obsolete gear. If they don't win now, they are going to have trouble training troops in the very near future. Going to see even more recruits rushed straight into battle. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/05/28/to-replenish-its-army-in-ukraine-russia-plans-to-strip-its-training-units-it-can-only-do-this-once/?sh=5a9db363a98f
  2. They were, but he slipped through the cracks. As long as the shooters can get these guns so easily, you are playing Whack-A-Mole and this will happen regularly. https://gizmodo.com/surveillance-tech-uvalde-robb-elementary-school-shootin-1848977283
  3. I'm so sorry bt. I wish there were some words we could say that would make it hurt less now, but it does hurt less with time. RIP Ace.
  4. True, but if the MOC they are working for opposes sensible gun reform, it's pretty good odds the person answering the phone agrees with the MOC.
  5. There are good and bad in most professions, not all. The "good" cops coverup for the bad cops, enabling them to abuse the rest of us. They relinquish any claims of being "good" anything when they enable bad cops to prey on citizens.
  6. Teachers are incompetent and responsible for the shooting, because they left the door propped open. Also, we need to arm all the teachers. Makes sense...
  7. I know 19 kids and 2 teachers that would have liked the chance to meet their SWAT team.
  8. Body armor too. They have all the gear they need to storm the school and potentially save more children's lives. Somehow, they choose to make a bad situation even worse. Disgraceful cowards actively prevented the families from doing anything about it either. Everyone of them should be fired, or run out of elected office.
  9. He's in Ukraine right now, doing what He always does, answering an infinitesimally small number of prayers, while ignoring the vast majority of others. Heaven has always had problems with the switchboard.
  10. We must secure the existence of our people and a domestic supply of infants.
  11. GOB's not on board.
  12. Pederastic Pedophile Proponents Pissed Pelosi Prioritizes Privacy
  13. It's like Russia is playing Potemkin Go and has to catch them all.
  14. Bullshit. They view us as exceptionally fat.
  15. This should make every patriotic American sit up and take notice. Kash Patel is calling Trump king. Trump is calling himself king. All Americans should be horrified by this. Far too many of us will celebrate it instead. If the GQP was serious about the founding fathers and the Constitution, this would be called out as tyranny and he would be expelled from the party, at a minimum. Instead, they will work like serfs to anoint him King.
  16. Fetterman vs Oz would be a blood bath. Oz is from Cleveland and went to Harvard. Fetterman has history in both East and West, PA. He was born in Reading, PA. He went to college in Reading. He was the mayor of Braddock, PA, which is a suburb of Pittsburgh.
  17. All for the ego of a washed up old man, afraid of his own mortality. Those Orlans are a horrible choice for dropping grenades. Quadcopters can hover, Orlans can't. They have to continually move forward to generate lift. If they try to slow down to aim, they will stall. Further, they are designed for taking footage from high up. They are not maneuverable at all and the aerodynamics on the Orlan suck. Very poor answer to the Ukrainian drones. At first the techno annoyed me, but it's grown on me as the Ukrainians have continued to kick Russia's ass. Now, I dig it and am kind of sad when there isn't any.
  18. Yahoo Finance had a good article on this yesterday. The issues are massively compounded, because margins are low and only 3 companies make almost all the baby formula. Abbott makes up close to 43% of the total market, with a good chunk of that coming from the currently shut down Sturgis plant. The Abbott Sturgis plant sounds like it was pulling some Blue Bell cleanliness standards. The FDA inspection and shutdown should have come much sooner after the whistleblower report they received. The inspections found Cronobacter sakazakii in multiple locations inside the facility, including high care areas. The company themselves found it in what they claim was a non contact area. Sucks, but they need to be shut down until they fix that and can guarantee it doesn't happen again. Cronobacter sakazakii is nasty for infants, 40-80% fatality rate and can recur after recovery. Costs on average $1 million to treat per infant. https://foodpoisoningbulletin.com/2022/what-is-cronobacter-sakazakii-and-why-is-it-a-danger-in-infant-formula/ https://finance.yahoo.com/news/america-running-baby-formula-because-120000395.html
  19. Yes, but you need more troops to attack than you do to defend. The forces they are using to counterattack are considerably larger than the ones they will need to leave dug into defensive positions. Plus they have US/NATO/Five Eyes watching their 6. If Russia starts to mass troops in those areas again, the Ukrainians will know before some of the Russian officers do.
  20. That first one is legitimately hilarious. We would fund them for 5 centuries at this rate. This is the best return on investment our military spending has ever achieved.
  21. Inmmaculate/GRUHorn is a troll we've been dealing with for years. He has been repeatedly crowd sourced for dishonesty and immediately comes back with a new user name. If he's ever said an honest word on here, it was likely on accident.
