DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 8 minutes ago
*Pallone pretends he opposes robocalls but he keeps taking their bribes and pretending* I imagine they stopped for a couple of months because call centers closed down. But I've noticed the calls identified with a "V" on my landline's screen-- solicitation calls and robocalls-- are back. It's just one or two a day now, down from 20-25 a day. People hate them and want government to do something about them-- not *pretend* they're doing something about them (while taking their bribes, the way chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Frank Pallone does).

Why Russia Put Limits On How Many Military Medals Soldiers Could Wear

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * In 2019, the Russian military issued a new regulation: no more than 10 medals can be worn on parade uniforms. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* During the Cold War, Russians liked to joke about Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, whose parade uniform groaned under the weight of the 114 medals had he had either been awarded or had awarded himself. *Did you hear that Brezhnev is going to have surgery? He’s having his chest widened to make room for more medals.* Nor were Soviet generals particularly modest with their decorations. WWII Marshal Georgi Zhukov... more »

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 1 hour ago

It also was a very unusual design. Contrary to most other planes designed and used in World War II, Lockheed’s P-38 Lightning had twin booms ending in vertical stabilizers and rudders.

We have written thousands of articles (literally) why sliding into this monetary twilight zone - where both Japan and Europe already are to be found, frozen in monetary carbonite - means "game over", but instead of recapping ... more »

"Distorted galaxy NGC 2442 can be found in the southern constellation of the flying fish, (Piscis) Volans. Located about 50 million light-years away, the galaxy's two spiral arms extending from a pronounced central bar give it a hook-shaped appearance. This deep color image also shows the arms' obscuring dust lanes, young blue star clusters and reddish star forming regions surrounding a core of yellowish light from an older population of stars.
