They've been circling Canaveral for a few weeks now. Best guess is training or surveillance flights, maybe both. They're under commercial traffic lanes following a small route. They could have...

That chart compares 4 years to 8 years, and doesn't state the actual start and stop dates. It's an intentional attempt to lie with statistics. Also it's not a source, it has a source, that's been...

Every president prior to Reagan broke 5% after ww2. No one since has done so until Biden, primarily due to Covid spending. Unlike prior spending it was...

Just a minor point, growth under Reagan did not increase. GDP growth per capita died, and hasn't topped 5% since Reagan destroyed our tax system and labor bargaining power. Traitors shouldn't get...

They hired like 40k last year, and are realizing they over shot what they needed.

My bet is they set higher standards for ventilation on gas stoves, no internal venting etc. And call it a day. That alone will end most new gas stove installs. The price tag to plumb a duct, and...

The entire Florida coast is having the same issue. Wealthier owners come in and want the dirty boats out of their view. Meanwhile housing prices are being kept insanely high because of those same...

Easiest way to avoid bird strikes is to paint one of the blades a dark color. The combination of light color and fast moving doesn't trigger the birds avoidance instinct.

Tesla's have a lot of innovations and have pushed the industry to up it's game. The battery systems are among the best.
That said, the overall build quality is crap. Loose and misaligned parts and...

I can't see dropping that suit unless it was...

Closest thing you'll find to that Reichstag law would be the terms of service on Truth social.

DeSantis redistricted Crist into a heavily red district he wouldn't be able to win anyway. As a former governor he has plenty of name recognition, so he's already on second base for another...

In the midst of her drama she went too far in her claims. Which gave right wing media and the gop more ammunition to dismiss and discredit her. Her counter suit was as empty as the reasons for...

If we're gonna be bringing back species, I expect to be able to order Galapagos island turtle soup at a restaurant. Nothing that delicious should stay extinct, or endangered.

I'd prefer Gaetz just go to jail for being the pedo that he is. Jones was most definitely targeted for political reprisal, but she's also not the best candidate. Hopefully she can have a decent run...

You're making the false assumption that once consent is given, it is permanent. The difference between a guest and a trespasser is consent, that can be revoked at any time. The same goes for sex vs...

At what point in life does a person lose the right to defend themselves? Does the state just decide that women are too old to be defended when they reach puberty?

The state has already stated...

Again, it has nothing to do with protecting the unborn. If it did the same people would be speaking up about child care or health, and they don't. Nothing but crickets. Because the only reason...

A decade at best. Right now anyone wanting to compete with Starlink would have to use SpaceX to launch for them. And he's already locked in the orbital range. Bezos really wanted to get into that...

If any one of you were to put a woman at the same physical risk that a fetus does, even unintentionally, there would be no legal problem with shooting you dead on the spot. There is no room in the...

My current conspiracy theory is that the cargo capacity of Starship being perfectly sized for the rods called for in Project Thor is not a coincidence at all, and Musk is planning to take over the...

There is zero chance of Trump appearing under oath without a massive political fight beforehand. He may be stupid enough to think he can grand stand his way through a hearing, no one around him is...

California needs to redistrict their republicans out of congress entirely. Not for the political advantage, but because nothing is a problem for republicans, until it happens to a republican. Once...

The problem being a person with rational thoughts doesn't work in the Kremlin. The best hope is maybe a small collection of sycophants seeing their chance to strike, or one of the oligarchs getting...

The other areas are the goal. Discussions on ways and techniques of a subject in this case wooden boats. The bilge serves as an outlet for off topic subjects, but also as a standing population of...

There is a very real danger that the loss of the moral and philosophical high ground that America now possesses, will bring about the end of the nation as the currently collected states. What Putin...

There's several paths to a cure, the problem is getting any solution passed at all. The algorithms they're using are editorializing other peoples content by deciding who gets to see them. Google is...

Hari Seldon, John Galt, even Captain Nemo are all aspects of the same story. Instead of them, we've got Elon Musk. Probably not the trade off anyone wanted.

Our success rate at missile interception would be about 2 to 5%, against 3000 warheads. There's a huge difference between shooting down SCUDs and trying to stop a MIRV warhead, not to mention the...

It's going to lead to more dead people, more violence, higher crime rates, and more horror stories from the back woods of America. There is no up side to forcing children to have children.

Bought, blackmailed or incompetent. Doesn't matter as long as no one does anything about it. At this point it would probably take intervention from the governor or the FBI for anything to happen...

The US had hypersonic missiles back in the 70's. Not sure what ended the program, probably lack of a targeting system. They were intended to stop incoming ICBM's at low altitude. My bet would be...

If Ukraine falls, everyone else joins NATO out of fear, and China takes the chance to consume Taiwan. All or any of which end in WW3.

As it looks right now, Russia is failing badly with their...

Total conspiracy theory, but it would explain the relative silence from AIPAC in the Trump years. Would be interesting to see an actual intelligence report on Russian Israeli relations.

They've lost more than a brigade, they've lost more than a brigade just to thievery. If it were any other military, they'd be in full retreat to reconsolidate their forces. Not that the losses have...

Before he ever started his campaign, Trump was working on getting deals in Moscow, meeting with Putin and others in his circle. Which essentially means their contacts were going to revolve around...

They're denying Ukraine the power from their own power plant. They may very likely cause a radioactive incident, but it's unlikely to be intentional. Russia already has access to nuclear fuel, they...

I'm wondering what the occupational safety is like in New Zealand when compared to other types of dangerous work. Lumber jacks and deep sea fisherman are not in a safe line of work, but how does the...

I've found it's better to just ignore politicians making speeches. What they say doesn't really matter, and what they actually do is barely reported on. It is interesting to see the public...

Would have thought cases like that would have to go through military courts before making it to federal. Even though it's a civil rights issue, I would think without a a civilian with standing then...

Exactly, it pretty much neutralizes Putin's artillery until they decide to do blanket bombardment. It's really hard to drop an artillery shell on a guy with a back pack somewhere 'over there', until...

I'm wondering about that armor convoy too. Ukraine has the weapons to obliterate it, if they can get them in place. Mobility and coordination have got to be major problems right now.

I'm waiting to see how long until we're air dropping US tanks into Kyiv with Ukraine flags on the side. Not likely, but at least we'd get some use for the stupid number of them we have in the US.
...

Also sounds like they agreed to talks at the Ukraine/Belarus border. There is still a chance to de-escalated this before Putin goes full retard.

Putin is going to demand they surrender or flee the country, so he can install a puppet regime. Ukraine will demand he piss right the hell off.

Really the demands won't matter. Putin will roll...

Russia has a grand total of about 400 attack helicopters. It's more than unlikely that half of them are committed to one single action, especially given maintenance rotations that are likely...

What's concerning? That they're admitting they have evidence now? Maria Butina was convicting of operating since 2011 infiltrating the upper ranks of the right wing, and somehow people thought that...

I think the problem with moving the trucks isn't that they can't be towed or driven off. It's that they would first have to arrest everyone nearby. They can take the keys from those that are...

They've been wanting to get rid of cash for decades. At this point all they would do is end up replacing it with is an anonymous crypto market. In general it would disenfranchise the old and the...

The dems are a big tent party that invites fractured groups as a general way of working. The Gop are authoritarians that require obedience in order to function at all.

Theoretically the gop could...
