It's notable that the bill authors, besides including 'other shooting sports' (let's go, three gun and crew-served weaponry competitions in schools! Artillery courses would, no joke, undoubtedly incentivize mathematics and physics learnin'...), also chose/had to include culinary arts because of...

In fairness, few would accuse American academics of the last...decades...of being too tough on communism/'China', or interested in promoting American foreign policy dominance.

Because I was aghast at California (again) and couldn't quite believe a twitter report: https://www.kcra.com/article/purchasing-child-sex-misdemeanor-california-lawmakers-debate/60485983 Frankly, I'm still kind of shocked at the upped punishment being so low. For reference, rape itself in...

*years in the future, JSDF briefing Room* "Gentlemen, this is Iran's new seasonal rom-com characters." *pounds table* "WE CANNOT AFFORD A WAIFU GAP!"

Some state department weenie: "Better plan. Step one: Give everyone in the region, including the ones who hate us, shitloads of money. Step two: Deploy our own troops to the region to arm and train dissident groups who are in conflict with both our allies and our enemies. Step three: ???. Step...

That...That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. Contracting to provide internet services for the government is not the erection of a Great Firewall of Israel and, if anything, the suspect partner in the relationship on THAT front is Google because of their history cooperating...

Regardless of anything else, actions like this, be it on private cameras, individuals recording (I'll have to look, believe it was a manhunt in Massachussets or somewhere where someone recording on their porch got swept with a rifle and threatened if they didn't stop recording and go inside), or...

Frankly, even warrant requirements would be too little. The FISA court is a rubber-stamp court for any warrant request made of them, and has been...basically since it got started. That said, it would at least provide a theater of constitutionality and, perhaps more importantly for...

So FISA reauthorization has passed the US House of Representatives. The amendment to require warrants (you know, that thing required by the document that created the House of Representatives) for queries of US citizens...was a tie-vote that Speaker Johnson broke in favor of rejecting the...

It's relevant to note Ukraine has a single-digit number of refineries because they're small (and were more an oil transit-point from Russia to Europe than a domestic refiner themselves). That said, Russia droned what wikipedia claims to be the largest refinery in the country in September of...

I just want to inform everyone who is doubtful: According to the DailyMail those photos DO correspond to the actual booking photos. They're not digitally altered as far as it seems. I only say this because of just how much the pair look like what one might stereotypically picture as a...

Hispanic and Black American trend has been away from Democrats towards Republicans. Caveat is preexisting trends had Democrats with heavy leads in Hispanics and an overwhelming one in blacks, so. Gallup It's also something the talking-heads of leftward media outlets express concern over...

Shitposting music to accompany your drone attack was not something I had on my 21st-century warfare bingo card.

So, the Rock refuses to repeat his endorsement. Taylor Swift may or may-not be an active psy-op of some kind for the military, so her endorsement of Biden hangs on the Military Industrial complex's decision. Who else would be fun to see for a '24 endorsement? Alec Baldwin, maybe? He could take...

It bears mention on this vein that when the US drone-strike'd a civilian aid worker and his family on the way out of Afghanistan, we didn't do jack or shit to punish anyone involved. *No U.S. Troops Will Be Punished for Deadly Kabul Strike, Pentagon Chief Decides (Published 2021) More...

You know, it's wild how much positive foreign policy leverage countries can get out of nuclear--or just WMD capacity--not based on those weapons themselves, but based on leader personality. So much of the benefit is utterly reliant on international poor perception and belief one might be so...

The TWIST, here, is that radiation makes Godzilla stronger and North Korea has been slowly feeding him 'failed' missiles full of fissile material to make baby-Godzilla into big-strong man Godzilla and domesticating him...or, at least, taming him with food enough that he may be sicked on Japan...

...Ha! That's because they've already been getting it. Seriously, this French saber-rattling and chest-beating might be more intimidating if the French military hadn't been so reliant on American aircraft for not just strike-missions and air support for active regime-toppling (see: Libya), but...

I've friends who liked the original who like it. I've friends who had never seen the original who really liked it. It could be good. I am baffled and unwilling to check on mere sentiment of...Why live-action the same thing that was made before (and even live-action'd before)? Remaking the same...

The pace seems to have increased dramatically (especially from late last year). Like, moment's-research, last year Ukraine struck roughly a half-dozen Russian refineries. Once with choppers, mostly with drones, and concentrated in the first six months of the year. Then there was a lull, and...
