The DUmpster / Re: So, guess who had a Trump card to play against Trump?

Good old DU, always relishing victories that never were.

Trump is seeking assistance on drone warfare because it would be useful to have, not because Zelensky has some “ Trump” card.

1) Offer 10 million dollars to whoever has proof Elon Musk's software stole the 2024 election, believe the
talented computer hackers would start working overtime and if they did find indisputable evidence that the
last election was indeed stolen, all hell would break loose in our favor.

good luck trying to prove a negative

2) Get plans in place to have exit polls in place at every polling location every hour they are open just in case Musk is up to his old dirty tricks.

exit polls do not decide an election

since you brought up dirty tricks, Adam Carolla did a podcast a few months ago with an author and former CIA officer who explain how elections have been compromised for years with roots back to Cuba and Venezuela.  It's a long interview but fascinating and troubling if these guys have the story correct

DUmp'Rats don't have the testicular fortitude to make this stand for more than a week or so.  :popcorn:

I don't know if this has been mentioned but this is the first time the US has used one way drones, AKA, Kamikaze drones, in combat. It's called LUCAS, short for The Low-cost Uncrewed (Unmanned) Combat Attack System. It's a one-way attack drone developed for the United States Armed Forces by U.S. defense contractor SpektreWorks. It utilizes technology developed from the reverse engineering of the Iranian-designed HESA Shahed 136. LUCAS is similar in appearance to the Shahed 136, albeit slightly smaller at about 10 feet long and with a wingspan of about eight feet. LUCAS is designed to be mass-producible at scale for low cost compared to more expensive conventional munitions. U.S. CENTCOM revealed the cost of the drone to be $35,000 per unit.

LUCAS was first revealed in July 2025 and the first operational squadron was deployed in the Middle East in December 2025. LUCAS was first used against Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces targets as part of Operation Epic Fury in February 2026.

LUCAS has been positioned as a counter to low-cost drone swarms used by adversaries such as Iran and its proxies, as well as Russia in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Your mental problems are much more and much greater than "Anxiety". You are more detached from Earth-reality than the dwarf planet Pluto.

Goodbye friends

Had long talk Wednesday afternoon with my primary physician, she believes I have an Anxiety problem
and is the reason I'm still losing weight even though I changed my diet to fating foods. She wants me to
wean myself off of politics and news until I beat my cancer. I'm taking her advice.

Currently the tumor has taken over my entire head below the ears, before breakfast, lunch & supper I need
to take 2 extra strength Tylenol to be able to eat, jaw moving up and down hurts.

Couple things I wish our Party would do.........

1) Offer 10 million dollars to whoever has proof Elon Musk's software stole the 2024 election, believe the
talented computer hackers would start working overtime and if they did find indisputable evidence that the
last election was indeed stolen, all hell would break loose in our favor.

2) Get plans in place to have exit polls in place at every polling location every hour they are open just in
case Musk is up to his old dirty tricks.

3) Start a campaign "Make sure Rs allow you to vote in November"

Now I'll stop worrying about politics since I said that, there's a lot of people I'll miss chatting with every
day and hopefully I'll beat this cancer and get back here.

This is also my official resignation from the MIRT team.

This is what you are worried about?

I've seem some of the DemonRat overlords claim that we have no cause to attack Iran because they haven’t attacked US soil. They attacked US soil on November 4, 1979 when they took over our embassy, and as far as I’m concern, they declared war on the USA that has never ended. We do indeed have a reason to attack Iran. My gripe is that it’s an attack that should have happened about 47 years ago.

Syria and Libya attacked US soil?

Bosnia and Serbia attacked US soil?

Vietnam attacked US soil?

NoKo attacked US soil?

Germany attacked US soil before and during WW2?

Russia attacked US soil in 1919?

Germany attacked US soil before and during WW1?

The Sinking of the Dena Was Textbook

What it represents are the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) out of the Persian Gulf/Arabian Gulf. Each of those dots is a tanker delivering the hydrocarbons that enable modern civilization to exist and keep three of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the stable.

The one center-screen? That is the SLOC our warships and their logistics chain use to move from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean and on to our fleet.

See the city of Colombo? That is the main commercial hub on the island nation of Sri Lanka. The very center of the SLOC that flows south of Sri Lanka lies about 40 nautical miles south of the island.
...
The United States and Israel are presently in a naval and air conflict with Iran. Over the last 96 hours, we have sunk almost all the Iranian Navy. In spite of this, an Iranian frigate armed with anti-ship cruise missiles left a neutral port and headed west toward the American fleet conducting combat operations. She was sailing athwart the major Indian Ocean SLOC our fleet was using.

A wise Commanding Officer, faced with such overwhelming overmatch, would have done what COs have done for thousands of years in such situations: he would not have put to sea.

He knew thousands of years of war at sea. He knew what was going on, but he persisted.

No naval leader in the last three thousand years would have looked at this scenario and said, “No, leave that warship alone.”

Anyone familiar with the WW2 Pacific War would be utterly unsurprised by this map of modern commerce ship routes. Putting the Dena's situation more simply, ISIS Dena was sailing through the most heavily travelled tanker and commerce route in that part of the world. Further, Dena was equipped with four anti-ship missiles, six (IIRC) torpedo tubes, and a 76 mm gun. She was a substantial threat to commercial vessels in a heavily traveled sea lane, and had the sensors to find prey.

His legs, knee to ankle, are covered with bite mark scars. I'm not sure how well he would do in the actual 2028 Dem Primaries. He might crash and burn the way Kammie did on 2020.

Name for me the last time when Dem Primaries mattered a damn to the Dim'Rats...
