Wondering what RN thinks of the "Buga Sphere" reports.

Sounds like hoax-y BS to me.

Quote:Russians Challenge U.S. Paladin Artillery - Big Mistake, The M109 Paladin in Ukraine's defensive operations near Toretsk on May 10, 2025. This engagement showcases how Western-supplied self-propelled artillery has fundamentally altered the battlefield calculus against Russian armored advances. Through the integration of Phoenix reconnaissance drones, advanced fire control systems, and precision ammunition, we break down exactly how a single Paladin halted a company-strength Russian breakthrough. We'll explore the technical systems that enabled rapid target acquisition, precision engagement at danger-close ranges, and how tactical mobility became the key to survival in modern artillery duels - demonstrating how technology and training turned a numerical disadvantage into a decisive Ukrainian victory.

Quote:This is the U.S army’s revolutionary new prototype 30mil grenade launcher called the Squad Support Rifle System. It’s a portable shoulder fired setami-auto magazine fed nade spammer that lets your average infantryman rapidly engage the enemy with a bunch of different types of explosives. But it’s more than just the ultimate nube tube. The SSRS is a whole new category of weapon capability: it’s not a rifle or launcher it’s both sorta, it’s the American infantry’s first ever precision explosive rifle.

Quote:The Philippines is BOOMING — and this might be the biggest economic transformation in Asia that no one's paying attention to. While global superpowers like China and the U.S. dominate headlines, the Philippines is quietly rising with unstoppable momentum. In this video, we uncover how the Philippines went from being overlooked… to becoming a serious contender for Asia’s next superpower. ? What's inside: – The shocking 2024 GDP growth that stunned economists – $35B in military upgrades and secret global alliances – South China Sea tensions and the Philippines' bold response – Rare earth minerals that could reshape global supply chains – A youth-driven digital revolution – Energy crisis turning into an innovation opportunity

India's mouth piece WION says the American Red Sea operation was a failure after two fighters lost and 7 Reapers destroyed and the Houthis are not destroyed.



I always find it interesting what others think and say unless they piss me off !! hahaha

The division and hate in this world in all countries is sickly amazing

Charges dropped against Boeing in 737-MAX crashes

This is bad news!  Not only was Boeing likely guilty of the charges, they were also charges against Boeing for not following ANOTHER previous ruling which let Boeing off the hook easy.  This is like violating an early conditional release from prison.

Boeing was 100% responsible, in my opinion, for deceiving regulatory authorities in the 737 inspection process, and as a direct result of their own DEI policies and substandard and shoddy QA practices along with unproven, untrained, technology...346 people lost their lives (died) in two separate crashes.  And, even after all that, the practices continued which led to several other in flight incidents with their aircraft.

This is a perfect example of big business being able to successfully lobby government officials into letting them off easy.  It is NOT okay, and it is WRONG!

Very disappointed in this development!

Edit - Plus, the 737-MAX exists for one reason, and one reason only...to extract the absolute most possible money out of the traveling public as humanly possible.  It is a real-world example of stuffing 10 lbs. of shit into a 5 lb. bag!  Everything about the 737-MAX is intended to maximize profits while pushing passenger tolerance to the absolute limits.  I don't know why they put any seats at all in that damn thing!  Why not just have everyone pack in there as tight as they can get them and then shove the doors shut?  Be about the same thing.

So, Trump pardoned former reality show stars, Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley, from a decade long prison sentence for income tax evasion (among other things).  More correctly, I probably should have said Trump pardoned Julie Chrisley and her accomplice husband, Todd, because it was Julie who was the ringleader of this whole caper.  These pardons, as a result of tireless lobbying on their behalf by their daughter, Savannah.

Trump pardons Chrisleys

I like Trump generally speaking, but I am NOT okay with these pardons!  This, for several reasons.  First of all, both of them were caught dead to rights evading millions of dollars in federal income taxes (something Trump has stood against).  And secondly, I take issue with persons who are rightfully convicted and justly sentenced for their crimes being pardoned.  It's a different matter to pardon someone who was either wrongly convicted, or who was given an unduly harsh sentence, for minor crimes.  But the Chrisley's fall into neither of these categories and their pardon was wrong.  Period.

I also want to point something else out here.  Just because I may be favorable towards Trump does NOT mean I won't call out something he, or anyone else, does as being wrong.  This, unlike most democrats who are willing to overlook the fact that their guy wasn't even present for minimally the last two entire years of his presidency.  I'm not like that.  I call a spade a spade...and these pardons of the Chrisley's are a 'spade'.

I also have an issue with this little strumpet daughter of theirs being able to lobby a sitting president, any president, to free her criminal daddy and mommy.  This wanna-be pageant queen (who looks more like a guy) should get stopped at the front gate just like everyone else.

That's my opinion, and I'm stickin' to it!

What say you?

A Johnny Somali wannabe is arrested in London after he was held by a man who believed the TikToker had stolen £1000 from him , plain clothes police moved in to arrest the idiot , I do like it when they complain.


Time to start jailing these muppets , looks like Somali could be going down long time in South Korea.

An Arkansas Elementary school descended into chaos and mayhem when a bunch of parents got into a huge melee over a Kindergarten graduation.  The fight escalated to the point where kindergartners were screaming at their parents to STOP!!

All I can say is (well, not "all") who the hell can find a reason to get into a fistfight at a Kindergarten graduation?????  What kind of a crazy person would ever do this???  And, what world do these people live in where this is acceptable behavior???  Unbelievable! What is the IQ of a person like this?

Kindergarten Graduation descends into Chaos!

Edit - And, it's a pretty SAD statement when 'kindergartners" have to scream at their parents to stop fighting!! Like really? Kindergartners!!

(a comment in another thread inspired this post).  

So, lots of little kids had a pushbike when they were super young, before they learned to ride a real bicycle.  If you're unfamiliar with a pushbike, these look like regular bikes but without pedals.  So basically a kid gets on one of these bikes and uses his legs to power it forward.  Great idea for tuckering out Junior.  Anyway...

I was noticing that in various places around the world they have pushbike races.  These are races for little kids where they compete against each other, usually on some kind of a course set up in a parking lot with cones for obstacles.  Okay, cool, makes sense, right?

Well, we should know that parents are not gonna' leave it that simple.  No, their kid not only has to race, but has to WIN!  Right?  So, just having pushbike races was not enough.  Next, they started having pushbike "training" classes where Mario Andretti of the pushbike world shows your kid how to race to WIN!  But not even that was good enough.

Enter the pushbike trainer.

Yes, as unbelievable as it may sound, there is such a device in existence (and not just one of them either).  These are basically a treadmill on the back end, where the kid's feet go, and the front part has a bracket to hold the front wheel pushbike in place.  Now you can put Junior on the pushbike trainer for 40 minutes, doing timed sprints, or long distance, so the kid can become the Lance Armstrong of the pushbike world!  

But maybe the parents forgot one small detail.  Everyone gets a trophy now days.  Well, most places anyway.
