mark, the graphics you posted in #32 deserve comment. Openly displaying specific political party or specific political candidate affiliation while on duty in official department uniform should be a violation of explicit department policy. U.S. flags are widely accepted. Few others are. The...

Climate change deniers, a large group. Therefore likely there are multiple reasons. Some may simply not want to give up the comfort of driving their familiar Ford F150 pickup truck with its reliable V8 engine. Others may be sincere disbelievers. Meanwhile weather records are being broken around...

What were the Tennessee law makers trying or hoping to accomplish here? Do they have a cover story? An excuse?

The term Jefferson used was "consent of the governed". Worth noting Putin is running a sham referendum inside Ukraine, an effort to legitimize Russia's claim to territory. That's a problem, an obvious one. A less obvious problem of equal consequence is a whole voting population being...

The Super Etendard is not stealthy, it could have been detected by British fleet radar. To minimize that risk the Argentine pilot flew low over the water, below radar, and circled wide around to take advantage of curvature of the Earth. The pilot circled as wide, as far away as he could and...

I haven't forgotten the Exocet missile / Super Atendard attack.

That was a bad day titan. But there's a perverse reassurance here that despite their best efforts our enemies have only strengthened us. In the 1960s teens spent weekends protesting the Vietnam war. Today's teens may not be able to find Vietnam on the map. There are probably U.S. service members...

Putin obviously dislikes N.A.T.O. Putin may have realized his invasion of Ukraine has actually strengthened N.A.T.O., increasing N.A.T.O. membership by two additional members. Still a mystery how Putin and Russia get out of this Ukraine war. Face-saving may be impossible for Putin.

Putin's a former colonel in the Cold War KGB. Putin isn't likely to do anything he has a choice to not do. But it lowers the likelihood down from improbable to, don't bet on it. In a sense Ukraine may never be made whole. Putin's war there is already in the second half of the year of invasion...

No mushroom clouds reported from there, yet some good news is filtering in. Ukrainian counter-offensive is reportedly having substantial success, in some cases sending the Russians hastily away. In such haste reportedly that the Russian military is abandoning weapons & other equipment in their...

mark, Wasn't understatement a source of pride in the U.K. speaking "the queen's English"? If so you may have nailed it, "mobility problem" then, an "ambient temperature problem" now. That's not an insult to her. To the contrary, it may be she asked that her own personal health emergency not...

titan, do you think automobiles should be restricted as much as firearms? They're already regulated. A 12 year old given a handgun by his parents because the family home is in a rough neighborhood? If age 18 or age 21 isn't right, what age standard do you recommend?

For a century New York gun carry laws were considered among the most restrictive in the U.S. As a result of a court ruling involving the National Rifle Association (NRA), a gun rights organization, those restrictions were affected. But rather than concealed carry standards being relaxed by the...

Poignant reference, Rittenhouse acquitted in a multiple homicide he committed before age 18. The U.S. does seem to be in a tussle with itself about where to split the baby. Banning guns entirely doesn't have much support. The opposite extreme is about equally unpopular. So the tussle continues.
