  • “Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.

    Imagine having so much to lose for your opinions, that you hope the people that you’ve oppressed carry out your sick fantasies.

    On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."

    I feel like America is encouraging the wrong attitudes. When it arrests peaceful protestors on Gaza, but won’t touch the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys.”








  • They are called different things. Some people call them cope cages. Others call them turtle tanks.

    In all, the idea is that if you have one of these meshes, drones cannot drop ordinance inside of the tank.

    Unfortunately, it is not recommended to do this, as a bigger target gives your position away.

    Some of the equipment or escape vectors are blocked off.

    But it also does nothing extra to protect the tank from the impact of Javelin missiles, or a tank round, a Bradley auto cannon. Or even from a drone that detonates over it.

    Though most drones don’t aim for the mesh, but the back of the tank, the tank tracks (Wheels), or the base of the turret which are the weak points.




  • Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?

    Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?

    Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.

    Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.

    The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.

    Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.

    Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.

    People had to uproot their lives and won’t feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.


  • I really don’t like that the sources on this article are missing.

    Sure, that’s a lot of money for the wealthy who control 93% of stock, but it’s also tens of millions of Americans who will have a more comfortable and secure retirement. In fact, the number of Americans who have over $1 million in their retirement accounts grew by 20% in the last quarter of 2023.

    Fine and dandy, except that half of Americans don’t have a retirement account. Or 47% of Americans.

    So while retirement indexes are up, 1:2 people are not going to see that.

    Inflation eased slightly in April — the first time this year that has happened. Overall inflation edged down to 3.4% and slipped to 3.6% when you exclude food and energy costs. (food expected to rise by an additional 2.2%)

    Good to see the brakes are working. But just remember that not everyone goes out to by a car or house on a twice-a-week basis. But everyone does with the grocery store. Which in Biden’s defense, he has started trying to pull back.

    Though effort =/= job done.



  • Sigh… I am so tired of this gaslighting.

    Just because people criticize Biden does not mean they are a follower of the MAGA cult.

    Biden can do so much better then this. People want a reason to support him.

    Instead we are being blamed for Biden’s failures, because Biden chooses not to listen. While every time we try to change course we are being told we are anti-democratic. That we are trying to get Trump elected.

    Like the average voter has more power then the president.

    At this point, I am on no-body’s side, because no one is anti-genocide.
