well i spent the remainder of the company's money this year on a high fidelity cover of "Rock the Casbah" where the the line "Shariff don't like it" is replaced with "Tariff (pronounced Tareef) don't like it". this is it folks. this is how we save democracy.

Using the American flag to symbolic effect at protests against the Musk/Trump regime isn’t appealing to fascism, and it is incredibly counterproductive and stupid to believe to is.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Per Jim LaPorta on Twitter, defense official tells him the UH-60 came from Fort Belvoir. This checks with my earlier live-military-mode-s.eu query earlier that this is a 12th Aviation Battalion airframe.

Looks like a plane collided with a helo on the approach to DCA. Reportedly 60 passengers onboard the plane and unknown number on the helo.
Footage of the incident that just occurred at Washington’s DCA airport.
This was taken by the Kennedy Center webcam.

Of all the cases of people not into defence misunderstanding how military equipment work - and there are obviously many - the Iron Dome is probably the most misunderstood. Yes, it’s great, but it has a really specific use case, which close to no one else is facing.
America will be safe from short-range rockets, artillery shells, and mortar fire! Stand down, Mexico and Canada!

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
