  1. “Coach Red Pill” Gonzalo Lira died in Ukrainian prison, lol.
  2. Marines fly AH-1Z Vipers off of Wasp class amphibious assault ships and the Navy flies Sea Hawks. The Viper does most of what the Apache can do (not all) but is better for the maritime mission.
  3. One of the key reasons not to extrapolate too much here is that in a peer or near-peer conflict, the Carrier Strike Group would not have been floating around working on their fielding for a few weeks.
  4. We somehow got to a place where we have a bipartisan Houthi caucus; the GOP members clearly don’t understand the law or constitution and just want to shit on everything Biden does and from the left it’s basically just about reflexively supporting anyone who fights their own country. Which, incidentally, is why they can find common ground with GOP nutbars like Greene and Gaetz who also don’t really linr America. Really bizarre to see.
  5. “Sea of Blood” sounds pretty metal. The Houthis will likely feel compelled to respond so it will be telling if it’s at a lower level and tapers off.
  6. Wtf are you even talking about. I am absolutely glad to see CENTCOM destroying Houthi missile sites, it’s Good.
  7. lol, we’re bombing the Houthis and not Gaza, get over yourself.
  8. The thing is, you’ve got to work the other way. Until you’ve ruled OUT tons of conventional explanations, you’re just looking at something that’s hard to understand and making the leap to an extraordinary claim. And even “propulsion system we don’t understand” is a huge leap, so much more needs to be ruled out before even going there, let alone aliens. The delivery of this video is highly eye rolling. Anytime you hear “and I’ve got even better stuff, that I just cant show you…..” that’s con man talk.
  9. It kind of is. In fact the new NDAA calls them “anomalous” and not aerial. The UFO term contained within it a concession that these things are both “flying” and “objects” and often neither of these are true. It’s amazing to me how quickly the UFO crowd laughs at the instinct to reach for a conventional explanation first. Again— folk religion. Ok, so even worse, Jeremy Corbell allegedly has the whole video but won’t put out the good parts? Come on man, use the common sense.
  10. Just so we are clear on number two, it’s an allegation? And the footage exists, but the Pentagon doesn’t put that part out, just a teaser of the rest of it? FYSA, the military no longer calls these things “UFOs,” they are “unidentified aerial phenomena” which is a tip-off that many of these things are not “objects” at all—- encapsulating everything from a bug splat to a malfunction.
  11. So two questions: 1. Why do you think a FLIR can’t get debris or smudges on the protective glass when installed on an airplane? Which part of that seems less likely than “aliens.” 2. Seeing it fly in and out of the water would for sure make me think. Where can I watch that? Have you seen it? Or just read that someone else promises it happened?
  12. Extraterrestrial sightings and theories of ET-human contact is the current folk religion of the U.S. and UK. In earlier centuries (and now in other places), this psychological need is filled through Virgin Mary/Angels/Demons/Ghosts.
  13. Looks like a bug splat or maybe balloons. Forward looking infrared can make ordinary shit look weird. If it really is technology, the concerns of “aliens” vice adversary are pretty clear.
  14. MTG is sure to be the outrageous, most awful “money quote”‘ of the committee hearing. Hunter walks out and all the cameras follow him to hear his lawyer’s statement instead. Master press move.
  15. On the flip side, I ordered a coffee at a place a few days ago and said “thank you.” The barista, instead of the usual “no problem” dropped me a “you’re welcome.” I was so taken aback and pleasantly surprised at her social graces that I actually left 20 percent tip on the little iPad.
  16. People who use the reflexive when it’s not correct. At a conference and the woman giving admin information kept doing it: ”If you have any questions just direct them to myself.” “ME! Direct them to “me.” Learn to diagram a damn sentence.
  17. The guiding philosophy of the majority of the Supreme Court boils down to “the founders could have never imagined people as awful as us, ergo whatever we do must be allowed.”
  18. Most of Trumps voters want him to do the purge so this doesn’t really damage him.
  19. If I took article from NYT or WaPo and changed bylines, 99 percent of the people who hate those lib rags would have no problem with the content. The papers aren’t liberal, the people who read them are and that’s what gets folks upset.
  20. Give me Washington. These two teams are closely matched so I’ll take the team with Penix as the best player out there. PAC-10 was likely the best conference in football it’s last year in existence.
  21. I recommend reading The Economist, in paper form and carrying it with you. Then asking people if they have seen the latest article in The Economist (doesn’t matter what the topic is). If you are in Miami you can substitute The Financial Times.
