The US used a drone to kill an Iranian general. What might be the consequences?

One advantage of assassination by drone is that, as in Ukraine, the drone operator can be rather far away from the target, whereas a moderately good marksman with a suitable weapon has to be within a few hundred feet.

Aside from the inspect0r Lynley series, another  nearly perfect series is Wire In The Blood (don’t ask me to explain the title). Here is the first episode of the first season, The Mermaids Singing. If the first two minutes or so don’t draw you in, then this series probably isn’t for you. One drawback for many people is that it’s from the early…[Read more]

While I don’t think any British detective series comes even close to Midsomer Murders for longevity, the Vera series is a long one with 11 seasons. I’ve watched the first four and can’t figure out what the appeal is. I didn’t expect it to be as dark/gruesome as it is. And I don’t hold that against it. After all, I absolutely loved Wire in the…[Read more]

What is there to tell?  The bullet went through the top of his ear.

Did you even read the article?

I don’t know but to me it looked totally staged. It hit the ear away from the audience (and camera) view as well so no one really saw it hit him. Just as he’s saying “hey everyone look at the chart over here….(and then he gets to tell eve…[Read more]

Gonna be interesting if Trump is elected whether he becomes the vicious dictator and destroyer of American democracy (such as it is) that the democrats have been portraying.

You seem blithely unaware of Project 2025:

Is it just me? Or does it feel like the US is the victim of an abusive relationship currently being pulled back into the same abusive relationship with its malignant narcissist of an ex husband only to be beaten up and left for dead…..again.

“Don’t fall for it Sally! He’s no good for you! He’ll never change!!”

By the time people figure out that it was/is a hoax planned and orchestrated by Trump himself, it will be too late. The dictator will have already taken over.

And he’s “immune.” Remember?

Adios the USA as we know it.

Look at the video…I mean really. Trump is like “Look at this chart over here….” Turns his head and grazes his ear. If it was a serious assassination attempt he would have used a better rifle. This guys wasn’t a complete rookie to shooting. I think Trump TOTALLY  planned it in a way no one would suspect….well….almost no one. He has most people fo…[Read more]
