Nope. He was a suspect early on, but they took him in for a polygraph and he passed. They "cleared" him because of that.

I get that they don't have AC units, but can they not have fans? Seems like a good business opportunity to sell portable/hand held fans


They have desk and floor fans but not ceiling fans. The Europeans always get a kick out of American ceiling fans. Some Euro bars, restaurants or hotels use them, but you almost never find them in Euro homes. This is for a number of reasons: they have stone and brick buildings that are difficult to retrofit. They have low ceilings, on average, making them less practical.

UK cops dont carry guns. They have to "call it in" for Cops with guns to arrive.

I'm curious as to what they have in mind. Quantum posting?


Quantum computing, the holy grail of computing that can solve some problems in polynomial time. (That's a mathematician's way of saying "fast."). The government is especially interested in it because it will allow them to break most encryption.

So I am not sure why the White House is posting about it. I would imagine any progress would be classified. Google and others have been working on it for years, so maybe they are discussing work in the private sector.

It's the threat of a tanker getting blown up. No tanker will take the risk. You don't need a navy, you just need to make threats about firing missiles or planting mines, etc. The U.S. Navy cannot guarantee the safety of every ship.

Controlling the straight is not easy. All Iran needed to do was pose a credible threat to tanker ships and no cargo ship would risk entering (insurance wouldn't cover them).

So even the U.S. Navy could not guarantee all ships that they would be safe. If they can't guarantee that, no tanker is going in there. So Iran basically shut the straight down via threats. They didn't actually need to do anything. It's sorta like calling in a bomb threat to a school. You shut the school down without actually doing anything physical.
Damn he is faster on land than I would have thought. He can scoot.
I asked AI why there is no Ranch in Europe and it said because it is banned over there. Not the flavor itself, but the preservatives it takes to keep it fresh enough for shipping. Europe has basically banned all food preservatives, coloring, dyes, etc. Most American products simply won't get past customs.
I would have probably went to jail. I am not gonna sit there and take that shite. It's not like the dude was a tranny in there being a creeper. He was with his two little daughters.
Bottom line is the dude had schizophrenia. No criminal record. It seems the family was doing their best to deal with him, but at some point when a guy pulls a knife there's not much else than can be done then call Cops. And in America, Cops are trained to shoot first and ask questions later.

This kind of thing has happened in white families. Normal families who have a schizophrenic son/daughter/sibling. Back in the day you institutionalized them, but that is not an option nowadays.

Even among schizophrenics, this kind of thing is rare. But it does happen from time to time.

I don't feel sorry for the Irish AT ALL. Sinn Fein is extremely popular in northern Ireland and Sinn Fein has made it clear they are about two things:

1) Communism

2) Mass immigration

When Sinn Fein says they are "nationalists" they don't mean it in the sense we might think over here. Their "nationalism" only means they want to break away from England. That's all. They are extremely woke, anti-western, anti-white, and pro-communist. In fact, the reason they want to break with England is because they see the Brits as "evil white colonials."

They voted for all of this and are getting exactly what they deserve.

Doesn't bother me. Even though he is an Arkansas transplant, he has lived in Alabama for a long time. It's not a Hillary Clinton situation where she moved to NYC specifically to run for Congress.

You kidding? The Brits love their hedgerows. They've used them for thousands of years. It's much cheaper and easier than fencing.

They even used to have baws who specialized in planting and taking care of hedgerows. This video is actually from the WWII era:

Sounds like the husband could be a suspect. Nothing in that story confirmed anyone actually SAW her last other than the husband.


No the daughter saw her last. I am sure they can check weather the husband was at work at that time.

I think it is Iran getting revenge for all their scientists Mossad killed.
