Investigators found a drone in the shooters car, that they said may have been used to recon the rally site.

How would you like to see one of those bad boy's off your wingtip? Yikes!

Meanwhile... In India.... I'm not clear on all the reasons behind the goings on but they've given the order to shoot on sight. Insanity.

Shoot who? I must have missed something….

Shoot who? I must have missed something….

I think it is in Bangladesh, there is some national protests with a curfew in place.

Shoot who? I must have missed something….

Anyone on the streets after curfew. Only seen a few split seconds of the story on the nightly news. Something about riots, rioters, and protest over something.

Perhaps our esteem member @Hunter-Habib can enlightens as to the what's and why's of what is going on.

 

[John Wasmuth]

Ok thanks for that info.

What they should have done across America a couple years ago. We'd have never heard of Kyle Rittenhouse.

It is Bangladesh, not India. Though, still in Asia.

Xi seeing a weak neighbor with strategic resources, he might take another strategy all together.

Simple equation. Russia has oil. China needs oil. If the US can produce enough oil the dollar will remain dominant. ADVANTAGE USA.

Every war since WW2 that the U.S. has been openly involved with, has resulted in giving the offensive military or nation half of the country. Or the Attacking nation retained the whole country.

Ukraine will most likely be the same. Russia will eventually get the eastern portions they wanted all along.

The only benefit to the huge loss of life. Is Russia is permanently weakened. They will never recover their past dominance. Generations of extended families lives have been destroyed.

That is sadly, IMO, the most likely outcome. Huge loss of life, a wrecked country (region) and wasted resources on all sides. The only times since WW2 the US has kicked the aggressor’s (occupiers) butts that I can think of was Granada and the 43 days it took to kick Hussein’s rear out of Kuwait and back to Baghdad. Granada was hardly a test of much of anything and Iraq is/was not Russia- not even close.

Close enough

Is Biden drawing crowds like this?

In his dreams.

I am having a hard time deciding if a second Trump term would lead to a resurgence in “woke” nonsense or cause the Democratic Party to moderate its more extreme stances. I suspect the size of GOP victory in congressional elections would be the greatest determinant of how the Democratic Party modifies its positions, but I fear that a new wave of “woke” is inbound if Trump wins regardless.

Do you think that a Democratic victory would somehow lead to a decline in the Woke agenda? No, the best we can hope for is a major Republican win to separate the extreme liberals from the more mainstream Democrats (if any still exist).

Rational, reasoned and balanced thought is a rare commodity these days. The human mind, particularly in the weaker form seems to be quite pliable and will toe the line even if it is irrational. So for sure woke will be with us for as long as the designers spread it to be sucked up. The liberal mind really intrigues me, it is as if liberal thought finds it's soul place in the irrational. For example the current assessment amongst a large group of Democrats that Trump faked the assassination attempt. What do they mean? That there was no bullet? Or that someone was set up to shoot that accurately and Trump was primed to turn his head on que? This Keith Olberman and the ilk must be fully stupid and delusional to spread this.
My humble conclusion - hate creates lunacy.
