Consolidation among defense contractors.

Woolsely or Perry said so in an interview.

In a way, Panetta was more qualified than Hegseth. As Chief of Staff, he had experience running large organizations. Didn't say he was great.
Just think of what a cartel could do with a fleet of such drones.

Send in Apaches for something, .........

I have said from the beginning that the Russo-Ukrainian war was an inexpensive (for the US) laboratory for developing a more modern doctrine for US forces, particularly on land.

That's dumb. You don't wait til battle to find out you have a problem.

This is the pussification of our military and industrial complex since 2012 ...

Bring back meritocracy and competency and run this simulation in 5 -15 years.



Don't forget Clinton's forced consolidation. That alone ruined Boeing.

Ukraine Kicked Our A$$ in War Games

U.S. Army troops faced off against Ukrainian drone operators at a military exercise in Germany earlier this year. It didn’t go well for the Americans.

During the exercise, called Combined Resolve, Ukrainian drone units easily spotted and defeated U.S. troops and armored vehicles on rotation from Fort Hood in Texas, according to people familiar with the events.

The exercise, coupled with U.S. casualties in Iran, shows American vulnerabilities to drones—years after the U.S. made uncrewed systems an essential part of warfare. America pioneered using long-range drones in war. The Pentagon has recently spent billions acquiring new drone and counterdrone technology and formed special units to operate it.


Wall Street Journal

We produce 100,000 drones a year. They produce 5 million a year while getting bombed daily. This is like watching Billy Mitchell or the Japanese Air Force against the British. Maybe Vance should stop sticking his thumb in their eyes every chance he gets.

She's not as clever as he is. Ruled more by emotion and this say stupid stuff
I'm seeing more and more, most of them black FB pages and that idiot out of New Orleans.

Remember all that screaming over the phone and why the police don't have it, blah blah blah? It turns out the family has it but wants to negotiate. I kid you not.

My gym is filled with damn tripods. Even the truly obese people are filming themselves. It's ridiculous.
Kari Lake didn't have elections stolen from her. She is a bad candidate who screws up everything she touches.
He doesn't have the temprament and you have to know how to do a lot of research.
Gemini Pro. Got it free for a year with my Pixel purchase.

Use it for artwork, charts, graphs, transcriptions, and creating podcasts.

Say I have a complex lawsuit to wade through and there are over 100 pages of documents to read. Gemini can create a podcast discussing the file and does it pretty well. Amazes me at its subject matter knowledge in law and finance.
Haven't had any of those issues since the Android 17 update. Works fine as it always has. Frankly, I can't figure out the difference between 16 and 17.

As for the notification lights, as I stated earlier, Blackberry gave you the road map, allowing you to customize different types of messages and calls with different colors. It was a very nice feature
Google raised the prices as expected but gave decent trade in values.

The ram is cut on the pros from 16 to 12. If you want the 16, you have to get a 512 gb storage one. Those are $1500. Yeah. No 1 tb if you need it. Got rid of the 128 gb option.

Also cut the free year of Gemini Pro to six months.

Google ditched Samsung for the antenna and replaced it with mediatek.

Just watched MB's quick review. he was underwhelmed. The so called notification glow was botched. You can only customize it for favorites when they call. Can't give texts a color, emails a color, etc.

If only there was a company called Blackberry that showed how to make a proper notification light.
Erick Erickson took this up in his lunchtime newsletter. Interesting.

David Crowley, a moderate Democrat and former Milwaukee County executive, overperformed with minority residents in Milwaukee’s predominantly black precincts on the north side of the city, with the Associated Press declaring him the winner early this morning.

You all distrust the polling anyway, but take another look. Primary polling in Southern states across parties, particularly relying the averages, has been good. Primary polling in Northern state Republican primaries has been good. The big misses have been in Northern state Democratic Primaries where the party composition is extraordinarily white.

The white socialists are the most eager to talk to the pollsters to share the gospel of socialism. That’s the problem
. No one was surprised Mike Lindell lost. Everyone was surprised how close Michigan’s Senate primary and Wisconsin’s gubernatorial primary were because the white voters on the Left are all too eager to talk to pollsters who are going for a racial mix without narrowing down much in the primaries.

As we head into the general election, you’re going to need to pay a lot of attention to the education divide in the polling and then understand that in midterms, college-educated voters opposed to the incumbent President are the people most likely to vote. That’s why the GOP remains nervous, even in Texas.
I'd go for the annuity. More money for heirs in the end.
How much do you get paid a year if you don't cash out immediately?
They are at our Sams and Costco but none of those problems.

Find another dentist.

X-rays are needed once a year. Lot cheaper to pay for a filling than a root canal and crown.

Unless there is something you are not telling us, what they quoted was BS. You don't need two damn dentists.
Thought he broke into them all.
