Funny, Unseen. For nearly two years now, you’ve been saying that Ukraine was as good as defeated and that Zelenakyy had might as well give up Donbass and negotiate with Putin. Now you’re saying what I’ve been saying all alone, that Ukraine is the mouse that roars. So which is it?

As I said at the end of one of my posts…[Read more]

Ukraine is working on net guns and Russia has drone jammers but not nearly enough of them it seems. Multiple drone boats were able to hit and sink the Russian warship Ivanovets. She was armed with radar-controlled gatling guns; something is fundamentally wrong with Russia’s military. I don’t think it’s all because of their equip…

I’d say drone jamming transmitters (a radio) or a crate full of shotguns are a lot cheaper than having hundreds of tanks tossing their turrets, each costing 100 million rubles, not to mention the trained crews. BTW, a self-guided drone is not cheap; at that point it is more like a cruise missile. GPS signals are jammable, i…

@ Robert

In almost every case, the defense against a weapon is far more expensive or complicated than the weapon it’s designed to counter. There are exceptions, of course. There have to be ways to counter your every objection that are lower tech and less expensive. For example, a drone guiding itself with internal AI will be impervious to…[Read more]

Wise words from a Republican strategist in support of President Biden.

I still think the Dems would be better off with a younger more on top of his game candidate.

OMG another live concert by the best rock band since the days of the Stones and The Who. The audio is remarkably good, just shy of Teatro Metropolitan 2022.

Fresh from Shiprocked 2024 (Miami, FL), it’s just a few days old. Enjoy 45+ minutes of The Warning, a band that delivers.

BTW, I LOVE it that they show up to play in street clothes any girl…[Read more]

Remember when the Dems nominated for Preident the only person more widely disliked or distrusted than Trump himself and she lost? (She won in the vote that doesn’t count, the popular vote, but lost where it counts, the Electoral College.)

The Democrats have become a gerontocracy that rewards whoever they think has earned it through party service…[Read more]

I think if we need proof that Biden needs to go, when he came out to defend his memory he confused Mexico with Egypt:

A bit more evidence:

The Supreme Court’s Colorado decision is likely to hinge on 15 words

Whether the presidency counts as an “office … under the United States” or “as an officer of the United States” determines whether the section’s twofold requirement applies to Trump. His lawyers have argued that the former might be the case but that the latter defi…[Read more]

I already know my vote for sleepy joe won’t count in this republic. He will probably get more votes than Trump and still lose just like Hillary did 7 years ago.

And then, the arrests and executions will begin.

@ Robert

Of course, Trump doesn’t need to win in Federal lcourt. He just needs to delay any verdict until (he hopes) he’s back in office, where he can make all the Federal cases go away.

He can’t so easily evade prison if he loses in Georgia, but that state’s state government is very GOP-tilted, so there’s really no guarantee of how much longer…[Read more]
