While I disagree that people are outright celebrating Kirk’s death in these professions, it should be unsurprising that people targeted by MAGA hate might react differently than the source of some of that hate. His conclusion is sound though: we do have a serious problem.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.

Ham friends: in the event I receive one of these fine power amps for my IC-705, where in the Boulder Colorado region might this best be put to use? I’ve got an EFHW antenna rated for 50watts I can set up in a tree. My first thought is the triple junction near deer Mountain and Trail Ridge Road.

I’ve modified the GigaParts modular backpack, adding a more robust tactical belt as a hip strap. It’s very comfortable, and adds some hip pouches for quick-access items. I’ve also added some molle accessories including a handheld transceiver holder, water bottle holder, and a mount for my CW paddle.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

What right does the US have to minerals in Ukraine? The US is attempting to sell its diplomacy services for those minerals. Who wins if that deal goes through?
Russia - a resource depleted Ukraine is easier to conquer next time. And then Russia gets the minerals.
Who has the cards here?
Putin.
