The Conservative Cave

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.

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.

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...

Democrat's Illegal Immigrant Guest to State of the Union Exposed as Assault Suspect

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/03/06/democrat-reps-illegal-immigrant-guest-to-state-of-the-union-exposed-as-assault-suspect-n4950310

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) thought he was owning President Donald Trump by bringing an illegal immigrant to the State of the Union last month. The move was deliberate — a calculated piece of political theater designed to put a face on what Democrats call an "immigration tragedy." He wanted to make Marcelo Gomes da Silva into a liberal icon, the next Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now it looks like a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.

AMoulton had made a point of publicizing his invitation to bring Gomes da Silva to President Trump's speech. Sympathetic press coverage poured in. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey invited him to tour her State House office. Moulton went on MSNOW and gushed that Gomes da Silva was "a great American," "a patriot," and "a reminder of what courage looks like."

There's just one problem. According to a report from the Boston Herald, the Milford, Massachusetts, police have two reports from 2021 that reference Gomes da Silva by name, involving sexual assault, and they won't let anyone read them.

Unsurprisingly.
