1/ Thanks to many on this forum, I've discovered a newfound love for political history and have been delving into the past to try and find both commonalities as well as solutions to the problems we've been facing here in the US lately.
Take a look at this guy - Václav Havel
Former President of Czechoslovakia & then the Czech Republic from '89-03

https://humanevents.com/2022/02/17/revealed-the-2010-essay-that-explains-what-the-woke-want/
The author goes into a deep dive that deconstructs much of the initial failings to identify motives /concepts and simplifies the Woke ideology as a “world purificationism.”
This is 9yrs old but it happens to be Legal Brilliance encapsulated in a ~45 min. video..

Law Professor James Duane gives startling reasons why you should always exercise their 5th Amendment rights when questioned by government officials.
The 2nd half of the vid has a Virginia Beach Police Office detail the perspective from the Cops' point of view when questioning subjects.
This is great info for younger adults just leaving the nest as well..
Thread - "Super Straight"
1/ So I've just learned about a fledgling movement that started recently called Super Straight.
The term originated on TikTok on February 21st when user kyleroyce created a video titled "who else is super straight?" where he explained that he had been called trans-phobic for refusing to date trans-women and being attracted only to women who are born women, so now he made up a new sexuality called Super Straight.

"This is the United States Congress, not a New York City high school," Malliotakis wrote on X, formerly called Twitter. "This action warrants expulsion & I’m introducing a resolution to do just that."
Bowman is currently under investigation for pulling the fire alarm during votes. He allegedly did it to interrupt the ongoing proceedings and to delay a vote.

Came across this old mockumentary that hit the theaters in the early 90s and immediately thought of my homie @watch4thedrop ..
Fear of a Black Hat

I had some friends at Sony Records and BMG Music that showed me this flick back in the day and we laughed our asses off.
This is in the same vein as Spinal Tap but set in the 90's LA Gangster Rap scene..

You should see all the YouTube channels I've found about men walking away from this crap, avoiding women, focusing on their purpose and getting ahead in life instead of pursuing relationships with women, and especially with the "Passport Bros" movement, etc.
To say nothing of all the women complaining that men don't approach them or look in their direction anymore, discussing how they now want to get their eggs frozen so they can still have kids someday, etc.

AI girlfriends are ruining an entire generation of men
https://12ft.io/proxy?ref=&q=https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/09/28/washington-u-prof-ai-girlfriends-are-ruining-a-generation-of-men/
Yep....dopey Beta-boys are now pursuing artificial girlfriends and according to this study, it's creating a generation a lonely, screwed up boys..
But take things a step further - WHY are boys looking to AI for girlfriends? Perhaps because the current generation of WOKE girls & women are pushing guys away in the name of neo-feminism and unrealistic expectations.

U.S. Air Force Selects Anduril’s Ghost and Ghost-X to Enhance Autonomy Capabilities

It's been really fascinating to watch how the Ukrainians have changed warfare with their use of drones, most repurposed commercial drones, like the DJI branded models. Well, the US and the rest of the world have been paying attention and this one of the USAF selected responses for the new battlefield.
Check out the UAV specs from the first link in the article..
Great news all around..
Government scrambles to secure US helicopters after retiring Taipan fleet

After seeing one of their crappy MRH-90 Taipan choppers go down, AUS has opted to expedite their buy of US UH-60 Blackhawk choppers to replace their grounded fleet of 48 choppers.
The MRH-90 is a derivative of the EU-made NH-90 intro'd in 2007 but at much higher operating cost than the US UH-60 Blackhawk, intro'd in 1979.
Good sale for us, great chopper for them..

The Phlegraean Fields is a super volcano and it is huffing and puffing.
It has done so countless times throughout history, but when it does it'll take all of Naples' Metro area of 3.5 million, including the Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples down with it.
Note: there are 5 volcanos in and around the Neapolitan metro area.
Two are super volcanos.
The Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields.

Tinfoil hat thought of the day..
What is Bill Gates doing with all the farmland he's recently purchased (~270K acres)?
The Truth About Why Bill Gates Keeps Buying Up So Much Farmland
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a42543527/why-is-bill-gates-buying-so-much-farmland/
The paid-for news would have you believe that Gates is just doing 'rich guy stuff' and investing.
But...
For someone running around screaming about Cow farts and banning cattle for food, why would he need so much farm land?
Perhaps for cattle for himself & fellow 1%ers?

Yay California!
New California law raises minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour, among nation’s highest
https://apnews.com/article/california-minimum-wage-increase-fast-food-newsom-69c26b7f07f2647149c37677446cea30
Who's looking forward to $20 soggy hamburgers ordered on an app, assembled by a robot, and tossed down a chute to your car window in the near future??
Ironically enough, who do you think this is going to hurt more? The employees about to get fired after this law kicks, the chains closing up & leaving, or the low-income people who subside on fast food?
🤔
The Democrat Leftists and oligarchical elites are very capable people; it brings pain to admit it, but it’s true. In the midst of seeking the demise the 45th President and his legal team from 2020, they have managed to continue the fear factor that ushered in mail-in ballots and multiple week voting ensuring a myriad of unexplained discrepancies, ballots without a chain-of-custody, and the White House.
