Kaman Kargo UAV

 

Are you watching the Jan 6 hearing today? I never realized how scared shitless our Congressmen were!

 I'm watching the Jan 6 Committee hearings today and they're playing behind the scenes video of Nancy and the rest of the leadership calling for assistance.

These people were scared shitless!

I wonder if any of them are mentally capable of conducting this investigation because I'm absolutely positive that they're suffering from serious trauma from this event.

I mean seriously!  Nancy is visibly shaking.

All this leads back to what I've often talked about when it comes to our internal security.

A group of BASICALLY trained Marines, about squad size and if they were motivated to assault our congressional offices would succeed.

Move that skill set up to Marine Force Recon equivalent and it would probably be a blood bath with most of the assaulting force getting away without a scratch.

If we're talking about pure terrorism then a small group of terrorist's with bombs strapped to their chests could probably decapitate our govt or at the very least get a serious body count of our Congress critters.

We have been lucky.  If an enemy force ever decides to make a run at our govt officials then I'm not so certain that they would fail.

Finally! An honest politician!

 

The Forced Suicide of Field Marshall Rommel, 1944 via EyeWitnessToHistory

Death of a German Hero

Rommel's son, Manfred, was 15 years old and served as part of an antiaircraft crew near his home. On October 14th, 1944 Manfred was given leave to return to his home where his father continued to convalesce. The family was aware that Rommel was under suspicion and that his chief of staff and his commanding officer had both been executed. Manfred's account begins as he enters his home and finds his father at breakfast:

"...I arrived at Herrlingen at 7:00 a.m. My father was at breakfast. A cup was quickly brought for me and we breakfasted together, afterwards taking a stroll in the garden.

'At twelve o'clock to-day two Generals are coming to discuss my future employment,' my father started the conversation. 'So today will decide what is planned for me; whether a People's Court or a new command in the East.'

'Would you accept such a command,' I asked.

He took me by the arm, and replied: 'My dear boy, our enemy in the East is so terrible that every other consideration has to give way before it. If he succeeds in overrunning Europe, even only temporarily, it will be the end of everything which has made life appear worth living. Of course I would go.'

Shortly before twelve o'clock, my father went to his room on the first floor and changed from the brown civilian jacket which he usually wore over riding-breeches, to his Africa tunic, which was his favorite uniform on account of its open collar.

At about twelve o'clock a dark-green car with a Berlin number stopped in front of our garden gate. The only men in the house apart from my father, were Captain Aldinger [Rommel's aide] , a badly wounded war-veteran corporal and myself. Two generals - Burgdorf, a powerful florid man, and Maisel, small and slender - alighted from the car and entered the house. They were respectful and courteous and asked my father's permission to speak to him alone. Aldinger and I left the room. 'So they are not going to arrest him,' I thought with relief, as I went upstairs to find myself a book.

German Public Service Announcement calling on its citizens to save energy so they can make it thru the winter

Wow. The anti-war left is pounding on AOC...

 

Weird. I never expected to find commoncause with the anti-war folks but here we are. Don't agree with his points but do get his overall feelings. Are we reaching a critical mass where we can FINALLY rein in our foreign policy?

Brits need to gun up. Yorkshire is facing a HORRIFIC crime wave!

I can't even imagine. I've had training on dealing with a knife attack. No matter how good you are its gonna be a bad day. Issues? They're always sudden. You're gonna get cut unless you're Bruce Lee quick (which means every swinging dick and ovary is gonna get cut!). You won't realize you're cut until after the fight is over (assuming you win). Lastly its usually more than one assailant.

Brits need to gun up.

How do you defeat a knife attack.  You recognize the attack, you give up your outer forearms to absorb the cuts/stabs and you use close quarters shooting tactics to put the fucker down (and you hope that expensive ass bullet proof and stab proof vest you're wearing protects your vitals).  Needless to say you're totally defensive in this thing.

It's gonna hurt though.  It's gonna hurt bad.

The Muslim faith does what Christianity was unable to do.

Amazing isn't it. It's taking a religion that I ONCE (probably erroneously because I only looked at a part of it and not the whole) viewed as being backwards and primitive, to come and at least try and save our society. Make no mistake. I don't care what two adults do behind closed doors but don't put it in schools.

France President says they will not use nuclear weapons if Russia uses them in Ukraine

So does this mean that France is being smart or kowtowing to Russia? Personally I see this as common sense.

The audacity is stunning. A day after hearing the news about the initial rollout of the covid vaccine we get this?

 

They're still pushing boosters after the bombshell report that they lied about the initial rollout? We get news that children's test scores cratered after the govt closed schools for a year? Now they expect Americans to allow their children as young as 5 to get the jab? AMAZING!
