Qanon update When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” – Ronald Reagan
First, this is about ten days worth of Q drops. Most is housekeeping and the like. However it is as close to a real news feed as we have now. I just took the NY times app and was appalled by the sheer propaganda that is on there. The North Korean Summit has shut down with a massive loss of face for the North Koreans. Turns out they were caught red handed hiding part of their nuclear program. Obviously negotiations have to be set back until they work out a face saving solution that includes telling the truth. In the meantime the heat will obviously increase. Of course, all ... more »
Bigfoot / Wolf Hybrid Encounter in Northern Michigan
Again we have the giant sloth and the response was quite correct. It is that dangerous. What is interesting is that the hind legs end in apparent dog like paws. Other reports have come in three toed but this may not have been apparent either. Those claws are also likely retractable. Thirty cattle killed is huge. What was done with the carcasses? likely cleaned up and sold to the meat packer. Otherwise the farm would have been busted. Blood would have to be drained of course but they likely got there immediately as well. We are now getting a lot more reports as more and mor... more »
Reading in the Age of Constant Distraction
What is certain is that all humanity must now read. The internet makes it so. Thus practice is not an issue as certainly was true in the past. What we lack is a practice of contemplative meditation coupled with sustained reading sessions to both master material and to fully enjoy a complete book. It really means to now set aside a time of your day in which you do just this. In fact I recommend budgeting thirty minutes in order to retain mental freshness as well. This also works for both mind stilling meditation and contemplative meditation. Once you have such a habit, the... more »

This can certainly be simulated and perhaps it soon can be actually accessed with a handy worm hole and a camera. Let us have the smell as well. Or not, if we are watching a nineteenth century whaling operation. Accessing time this way will be our ultimate entertainment. It also secu... more »

Why You Don't Ever Want To Mess with the M-60 Machine Gun
*WarIsBoring* *Security, * The M-60 has proliferated around the world. Forty-five nations — many of them NATO and East Asian allies — continue to use the M-60 as their heavy-hitting, general purpose machine gun. *Jackson said the M-60 is his favorite weapon. He considers it reliable, powerful and rugged even under less-than-desirable circumstances, such as a situation he encountered during non-commissioned officers school**.* Perhaps no other firearm is so closely associated with the Vietnam War — or pop culture spin-offs — as the M-60 general purpose machine gun.

Ice Ages
We're still living in an ice age. I'm sure that the progressives don't care, but it's settled science (link). At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth’s history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!). Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago. The last period of glaciation, which is often informally called the “Ice Age,” peaked about 20,000 years ago. At that time, the world was on average probably about 10°F (5°... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!

Who could have predicted that the powers that be at FOX would ban an ad for such a film on any of its shows? The film that made FOX "News" so uncomfortable, or frightened, was the OSCAR-nominated *A Night At The Garden*, a film that tells the story of the American pro-NAZI movement in 1930s. The title refers to the 1939 night when over 20,000 "very fine people" aka NAZIs, filled New York's Madison Square Garden in a MAGA-style celebration of their hate. It was the... more »
Meet the M-14 Rifle: The Old Gun That Refused to Surrender
*WarIsBoring* *Security, * And this is why. Critics said the M-14 was what happened when the U.S. government took many years and spent millions of dollars designing a rifle that was really just a glorified M-1 Garand from World War II. The M-14 was the U.S. military’s last battle rifle. It appeared in 1959—the contemporary of the Pentagon’s first jet fighters and ICBMs. With its heavy steel parts and walnut stock, the M-14 looked positively archaic. It was hardly a Space Age weapon. And it only endured as America’s battle rifle until 1970, when the M-16 completely superseded it... more »
