  1. ICBM! ICBM! ICBM!

    See? It went from Asia to Europe! Intercontinental! All of 470 miles!

    (scoff-spit)

    Such drizzly bullshit we have to put up with.

  2. On Instapundit

    From the late Gerard van der Leun, The Name In The Stone, and Other Essays.

    What do the above reference?

  3. Shirehome, that’s a link to the website Neo created to sell the collection of Gerard’s essays, and to sell the collection of his poetry yet to come. I hope the Instapundit link leads to booming sales!

  4. With the speed of news these days it can be a problem relying on any single “source” – IMHO. Some are deceptive, many are politically slanted, others can be reported too early—then seconds later a more accurate article comes out, some are just mistakes, and some may have been copied wrong – etcetera.

    Have been discussing Open-Source Intelligence here recently, and want to condense such “sources” and offshoots that use the results of Open-Source info in their reporting.

    Satellite images, local photos, ‘researchers, investigators and citizen journalists’, forensic pathologists, explosive weapons experts, etcetera from all over the world working together to solve ‘Something’. Example of ‘Something’:

    Bellingcat Investigations

    Here’s an example of what might go into an Open-Source investigation – that I linked to in another thread:

    ‘Exploiting Cadavers ’and ‘Faked IEDs’: Experts Debunk Staged Pre-War ‘Provocation’ in the Donbas

    ISW (Institute for the Study of War) is a site that uses a lot of Open-Source Intelligence in their reporting & analysis. ISW covers Iran issues & the Russian Offensive 6 days a week, and special reports on China and other hot spots.

    Here are some sites that I follow the Russian/Ukraine war on: Critical Threats (connected w/ ISW), Militarnyi, IISS, Meduza, Kyiv Independent, The Insider, IStories, RUSI, The Bell, Frontelligence Insight, Oryx, and Janes Intel. There are others, but I don’t have them in my upfront list right now.

    Most here already have great lists of the Israeli war with Iran and its Axis of Resistance.

    My 2-cents on “sources” ‘n such…

  5. because kim foxx wouldn’t do her duty, well she did to overlord soros, he gets away scot free,
    after wasting the time and money of the COPD, after agitating racial tensions,

  6. SHIREHOME – Pit bulls are fine. Pit bulls are needed. But give me a pit bull that has the experience and temperament to have more than a snowball’s chance in Hades of actually reforming the DOJ.

  7. Mike Plaiss – Ted Cruz would be an excellent choice, provided that he’s not too much of a RINO for MAGA-land.

    Also, would Ted Cruz want to do it? He can probably keep that TX Senate seat as long as he wants it. If he’s Trump’s AG its almost certainly (maybe) four years and then out.

    FWIW – I’ve always liked Ted Cruz the lawyer a heck of a lot better than Ted Cruz the politician.

  8. we don’t need to give up Ted Cruz, what have you learned nothing in the last 10 years,

    kobach as an outside shot,

  9. News moves so fast that I can’t even go to the grocery store without something happening! I read several days ago that Gaetz was not expected to get through a Judiciary Committee hearing, even with Rs in charge.

    The next proposed name is surely also going to be someone who will clean out the DOJ, just someone without this (probably manufactured) ethics mess and someone who is not at odds with much of the conservative wing of the party.
