“There’s only one rule that I know of, babies- God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” - Kurt Vonnegut “Man shows inhumanity to Man. It’s axiomatic of our existence. It’s the story of our past, it’s the story of our present, and it will very likely be the story of our future. Indeed, it’s a story that’s reinforced every day, whether we’re watching the evening news or the latest entry in the “Saw” series. However, our history is also littered with awe-inspiring examples of men and women showing incredible compassion in the face of unspeakable evil and insurmountable odds. Every story o... more »

Twitter loves the Chinese tyrants whose lies created the pandemic but they hate Trump

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 11 hours ago
Contrary to the unfactchecked posts by senior Chinese government leadership we all know that the mass murdering Chinese government lied about the nature of the China virus which led to the current pandemic. China new in December that the virus spread from person to person and yet the only steps that the fascist regime took was to intimidate and threaten the doctors who were telling the truth. If China had acted just 3 weeks sooner the number of cases in China could have been as much as 95% lower. If China had done that there probably wouldn't have been a pandemic.

Or said that all the folks who don't live on the coasts are evil? This is why we need to end Twitter, and other social media companies, immunity from lawsuits. They were provided that immunity with the understanding that they would be content neutral. They would only ban content that was illegal.

Planned Parenthood has admitted under oath to selling baby parts

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 11 hours ago
In sworn videoed testimony Planned Parenthood officials admitted that they were paid $55 per usable organ. That's important because it contradicts the PP claim that they were only reimbursed for transportation and harvesting costs. If that were the case then they would be paid whether or not the organs were "usable". The fact that they were only paid when their product, organs from aborted babies, met certain quality standards means that they were being paid for a product. The video testimony also shows that PP switched which company it sold baby body parts to because the new compa... more »

Most of these ships are from the early years of naval aviation, before roles and missions were clearly assigned and the technology to build them was in its adolescent years. Others were poorly designed by latecomers to the aircraft carrier game, and some were perfectly useful ships made bad by insufficient training, maintenance or aircraft.

Could Low-Frequency Radars Become The F-35 And F-22's Achilles Heel?

*TNI Staff* *Security, * With a missile warhead large enough, the range resolution does not have to be precise. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Traditionally, guiding weapons with low frequency radars has been limited by two factors. One factor is the width of the radar beam, while the second is the width of the radar pulse—but both limitations can be overcome with signal processing.
