Holy crap is the fuckery going on wrt the twitterverse and the NOTAMs and the three shoot downs.

She appears to have the endorsement of the Church of the AR-15.

I think she is very stunning but it remains to be seen if she's prepared to be a legislator by appearing in Maxim magazine.

This is a very interesting discussion on the possibility of war with China and China's demographic challenges. BLUF: the Chinese are a peaking power that senses it is about to decline (true). This is the most dangerous time for international relations. Also, China is funding international efforts across the board that make suppression of democracy and human rights easier (e.g., "Smart Cities" initiatives). https://warontherocks.com/2023/02/what-happens-if-the-balloon-goes-up-with-china/

More on this monster

He will not have been told any of that. He just knows that the countryside of China is filled with aging grandparents making food for the cities while their children and grandchild (singular) chase technocratic dreams in the cities. Those people in the cities are dealing with further and further restrictions on their behavior due to the crap way China handled this outbreak and their crap vaccine.

The other way of looking at this. China is doing all this because their other sensors are crap and they lack the precision to do what they want. The key point is that they want to do certain things because they are led by one man on a power trip and who senses he has only a certain amount of time before societal collapse due to under population.

The system that took down these "things" was deemed a horrible failure because people were stuck in a ten year bubble like the British government in the 1930s. Until it was almost too late they waited to rebuild their armed forces. They just barely survived because they invested in radar, the Hurricane and the Spitfire and had a bunch of dominions willing to support the mother country (collective security). Strong alliances and strong, confident defense establishments are the only way to prevent WWIII.

Lots of talk about how much things cost.

So, how does this look tonight?

She actually appears to have actively courted the Trump endorsement by being a cheesecake ho.

Well all the bad ones have the thing in common. They put the $.25 profit over the health of the game and building fanbases. Real sports fans are devoted and passionate and they carry along those near them and build generational support for a sport. Grandma telling her grandbabies about Mark the Bird Fydrich being a crazy guy who could really pitch is what that is all about.

I posted that Bob Segar Roll Me Away clip in another forum. That is a really well written song. I think I discount his lyrics because he's a skeezy dude from the same area I grew up in.

Your thinking in terms of peace. I'm thinking in terms of a countdown clock. I'm afraid our view on this is going to differ. War with China is not in my retirement plan but I think we need to be aware that they are within months of attacking the western Pacific and killing tens of of thousands of Americans.

Which of you guys signed up for this? That's a big number.

Lets hope Ford Motor Company can find a non-Chinese partner for the battery plant in Michigan. Literally its Nazi gold.

The female nazi George Santos is kinda good looking.

I think we can rely on this having been a shit show

Unless she doesn’t want to go further as a politician she should reconsider

So, creepy Space Karen doesn't want Ukraine to use Starlink. Who loaned him all that money to buy Twitter? How much dirt do they keep on him?

Ugh...

China would capitulate within 48 hours.

Not, Nena's "99 Luftballoons?"
