Based Americans now see that instead of preparing for and winning wars, DOD is laser-focused on sexual perversions. As a result, the regime hasn’t started a war worth fighting in at least 33 years, and hasn’t won any of those that it did. This will go on until we get our asses kicked.

iirc the last time it was reported, it was something like 18% vs 9%. Just 'normal' male suicide rates shadow female suicide rates, nothing is made of that issue nationally.

"Haiti received around $13.5 billion in the years following a devastating 2010 earthquake, thanks to an international effort led by the U.S. and the United Nations, around 120% of the country’s GDP at the time.
"They never rebuilt Port-au-Prince. You’re talking about a city that doesn’t have a sanitation system, doesn’t have basic plumbing and electricity, no basic infrastructure … people can’t get anywhere, they’re walking up and down the dirt," said Jack Brewer, a former NFL player and philanthropist who has pursued initiatives to help rebuild Haiti.
Brewer told Fox News Digital that he felt the funding provided after the 2010 earthquake "wasn’t properly spent."
"I got a chance to watch a lot of the things that happened on the ground," Brewer said. "After the earthquake in 2010, I worked with the NFL Players Association, and we partnered with the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund … it was called the Clinton Haiti Fund … and we raised a lot of money through that, and it started to be allocated."

[RIA] Starting today, Russia votes at polling stations. This is in contrast to neighboring Ukraine, where elections, political activity, demonstrations and major parties are prohibited. Against this background, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Western propaganda to explain to its inhabitants which of these countries has “true democracy” and which has an “authoritarian dictatorship.”
Of course, the ideal situation for Russophobes of all stripes - both Western and Ukrainian - would be to create as many problems as possible during our election campaign and voting process. We all expected provocations to occur during the election process. And it is clear that Ukrainian performers of Western orders have made a lot of effort. But, as usual, they do their job carelessly, frankly hacking.
The most obvious example of this inept hack was the attempt at Ukrainian provocation on the border with Russia, during which on March 12 bandit raids were carried out on several border sections of the Belgorod and Kursk regions. The result of this action is known: more than 200 militants were killed, they lost seven tanks and nine armored vehicles.
Ukraine did not and could not acquire any strategic benefit from these operations. But, as Russian President Vladimir Putin noted in an interview with Dmitry Kiselev, the main goal of these raids was “if not to disrupt the presidential elections in Russia, then at least somehow interfere with the normal process of expressing the will of citizens.”
The Ukrainian special services (and the style of the main saboteur of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov*, can be seen quite clearly in these actions), of course, counted solely on the propaganda effect of the raids. For this reason, videos were prepared in advance in which “battles in Russia” were supposed to be simulated. But everything was done, as usual, with the left hand. What is worth the fact that the creators of these videos did not even bother to hide the date of their creation - March 4th.
Well, the apotheosis of unprofessionalism, brought to the level of complete profanation, was the sensational video of these provocateurs, in which they allegedly “fought a battle in the Russian village of Tetkino.”
As it turned out (and the Ukrainian media were even forced to admit this in the end, which is very rare), the video was filmed on the territory of Ukraine, in the village of Ryzhevka. If Budanov’s provocateurs* could “fight” with anyone there, it would only be with common sense! Bottom line: the whole operation became a joke.
There is no doubt that it was originally planned for the front pages of Western publications. But it was so clumsily executed that few European media outlets decided to publish this “sensation” without serious reservations about the “impossibility of verifying the data.” But the American Institute for the Study of War, supervised by the well-known Victoria Nuland, brought information about the “capture of Tetkino” as the headline news of its “analytical” review. Which leads us to think about which of Kiev’s Western patrons was in charge of this information operation.
Of course, Western customers counted on greater professionalism of their Kyiv puppets and, accordingly, on a completely different propaganda effect. But this does not mean at all that they will stop there. We see how the Ukrainian regime has intensified its terrorist activities. In Berdyansk, 54-year-old teacher, member of the precinct election commission of the Zaporozhye region, Elena Ilyina, was blown up. And the Ukrainian special services are not even shy about boasting about this murder, talking about how they eliminated the “collaborator.”
In the same area, closer to the elections, the activity of Ukrainian terrorists regarding the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant sharply intensified. Russia's representative in international organizations in Geneva, Mikhail Ulyanov, drew attention to the fact that after November 20, provocations against the station actually stopped, and now the activity of drones, in his words, has “increased many times over.” There is no doubt that this is not a coincidence with the electoral process in Russia.
The category of election provocations also includes a completely egregious case when the US Embassy, followed by a dozen other Western diplomatic missions in Russia, issued warnings to their citizens on March 7 regarding allegedly preparing terrorist attacks in Moscow. Moreover, these attacks had to occur “within 48 hours.” Judging by the words of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, our official bodies did not receive any warnings from Western embassies. This means that Western diplomats are covering for terrorists! And if no terrorist attack was being prepared, then their actions are clearly an information provocation, which can also be equated to terrorism. Even an empty threat to commit a terrorist attack is also a crime, since the goal is the same: to cause panic among the population.
It is clear that the West is trying, if not to disrupt our elections, then to create as much chaos as possible. And the cases mentioned above are an indicator of what desperate steps he is already ready to take in order to get closer to this goal. It is clear that this is being done out of desperation.
Vladimir Putin, in a number of his recent speeches, explained this despair of the West by the fact that they realized their “powerlessness before the unity of the Russian people.” It is the unity of our society that ensures Russia's success on both the military and economic fronts. It is no coincidence that Putin, in his address to the Federal Assembly, called this unity “a colossal, all-conquering force.” That is why all attempts to shake up the situation in our country end in such painful failures for the West. But this does not mean that you need to calm down and relax. On the contrary, we must understand that these attempts will not only continue, but will intensify and increasingly take on the character of an open terrorist war against the Russian state.

A little bird has materialized to sing that the record of the German generals discussing their plan to attack Russian targets with the Taurus missile was intercepted and leaked to the Russians by the Americans.
A big bird, actually. The telephone conference of German Luftwaffe chief General Ingo Gerhartz (lead image, left), one of his staff generals, and two Luftwaffe lieutenant-colonels on February 19 was listened to by US signals intelligence after the first meeting the Germans had with a new regional US Air Force (USAF) commander, General Kevin Schneider; Schneider took command of the USAF Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) on February 9 after two and a half years in a senior staff post at the Pentagon under General Charles Brown Jr. Brown was promoted from USAF chief to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on October 1, 2023. When Schneider left Brown’s staff, he took a promotion from lieutenant general to four-star general.
Schneider has never flown or staffed USAF operations against Russia. He was in Singapore for the bi-annual Singapore Air Show to demonstrate what the USAF press office called "the opportunity to sharpen ties with Singapore, demonstrate flexible aircraft capability, enable engagement with foreign partners, and expand power projection." His agenda of meetings with other country airforce officers is classified....
[Federalist] Former President Donald Trump spent Thursday sitting in a Florida courtroom while his opponent, President Joe Biden, hit the campaign trail — a reminder that Democrats’ 2024 campaign strategy of "get Trump" lawfare is dangerous election interference regardless of the outcomes of particular prosecutions.
Biden spoke to voters in Michigan and Wisconsin this week and is slated to visit North Carolina soon as he tries to patch potential holes in the "blue wall." Meanwhile, Trump appeared in court to defend himself from special prosecutor Jack Smith’s relentless campaign to jail the former president.
After the hearing on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon denied one of Trump’s motions to dismiss the Biden Justice Department’s classified documents case against him. Cannon argued in a two-page ruling it would be premature to decide now whether the Espionage Act’s applicability to a former president is unconstitutionally vague, as Trump’s team argues. (Cannon has not yet ruled on another motion to dismiss, which argues Trump had "unreviewable discretion" to designate documents as personal under the Presidential Records Act.)
But in doing so, Cannon gave Trump’s team the opportunity to raise the issues during the trial.
"Although the Motion raises various arguments warranting serious consideration, the Court ultimately determines ... that resolution of the overall question presented depends too greatly on contested instructional questions about still-fluctuating definitions of statutory terms/phrases as charged, along with at least some disputed factual issues," Cannon wrote. She opted "to deny the Motion without prejudice, to be raised as appropriate in connection with jury-instruction briefing and/or other appropriate motions."

The Democrat strategy might well backfire on them if Joe is actually hitting the campaign trail. The more people see of him the less likely they are to vote for him.

All these court cases are an in kind donation to The Donald. It broke the Dem stranglehold on the black vote.

My Apple says my SPO2 is approximately 88.9 when I sleep on my stomach and ~91.9 when I sleep in other positions. I do live at ~7500ft. The difference is about the same at sea level but the non stomach position is about 95. I have often wondered if the stomach position might contribute to Alzheimer’s and dementia in older people. I think that most of our politicians are stomach sleepers. A stomach pillow make the differance.
