“The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially.

“Maybe we’re not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be a human. Maybe, we’re thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe, we’re thankful for the things we’ll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.” - “Grey’s Anatomy”

*"Weekly News Wrap-Up 1/1/21"* by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "More this week on the 2020 election fraud, this time in Georgia, and, yes, there was more proof and lots of it. We find that Georgia voting machines were sending information to China, ballots were being shredded and people were caught on camera running the same stacks of ballots through the counting machines three and four times. If that’s not election fraud, I don’t know what is. As more and more fraud is exposed, the cover-up grows more and more desperate. More than just voter fraud is being revealed, and it look...

USAF *Warzone/The Drive:* *The B-2 Bomber Looks Positively Alien In These Images * Even though it was based on 1980s technology, America's stealth bomber still looks like it is visiting us from another world.

For China, the Type 81 Was Far More Than Just a Rifle
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* It was an important test. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite its success, in the end, the Type 81 was still a stopgap rifle. What the PLA really wanted was a rifle in a new true intermediate caliber: 5.8mm. As this caliber started to reach maturity, some versions of the Type 81 were chambered in it as testbeds for the new caliber. It was eventually replaced in frontline PLA service by the QBZ-95. In the 1980s, China’s small arms were largely inferior to the United States and Russia. The PLA was mostly armed with the Type 56 assault rifle, ...
