#1  OK, your right. They just might....

#2  I imagine the "yogurt" joke came out of the Iraqis eating face cream moisturizers thinking they were containers of goat cheese during the Kuwait invasion.

Maybe that's a common myth.

#3  This one seems pretty good.

How ‘single woke females' are reshaping the US
[NYP] Soccer Moms are giving way to Single Woke Females — the new "SWFs" — as one of the most potent voting blocs in American politics.

Unmarried women without children have been moving toward the Democratic Party for several years, but the 2022 midterms may have been their electoral coming-out party, as they proved the chief break on the predicted Republican wave. While married men, women and unmarried men broke for the GOP, CNN exit polls found that 68% of unmarried women voted for Democrats.
"Daddy The Government will take care of me"
The Supreme Court’s August decision overturning Roe v. Wade was certainly a special factor in the midterms, but longer-term trends show that single, childless women are joining African Americans as the Democrats’ most reliable supporters.

Their power is growing thanks to the demographic winds. The number of never-married women has grown from about 20% in 1950 to more than 30% in 2022, while the percentage of married women has declined from almost 70% in 1950 to under 50% today. Overall, the percentage of married households without children has declined from 37% in 1976 to 21% today.

#1  Tie citizenship to registration in the militia (Art I, Section 8) and citizenship to voting, it'll all change almost overnight.

#2  Feminism was always about peeling women away from the social fabric and isolating them.

#3  freemartins....

#4  " infertile female cattle with masculinized behavior "

Round here, 'cullers'.
They eat, need medicating and will drain a bull, but won't throw a calf. They also teach the other females unmanageable bad masculine behaviors.

Lot like humans I guess.

#5  Having seen some of these SWF's....let me just say I'm NOT throwing that on the barbie.

#6  Cat supply futures up 3 points

#7  It's not just the US. Look around the world, Finland , New Zealand, Netherlands etc etc etc.

#8  Certainly leaves me more pistol range and elbow bending time.

#1  I watch his stuff periodically. This subject seems inconsistent with what I have seen him do before. Usually, Graddy makes demos in his back yard of why rebar is used and similar topics.

#2  Given the area this happened in, and proximity to some low radar DOD installations. One has to wonder if it was a Bubba watch this, or teens, or a test to see the rapid reaction and response?

#3  There is a Revolver article on the food processing attacks. It looks like think tanks routinely schedule and hold symposiums and drills to discover system vulnerabilities that need to be addressed through legislation. The infrastructure legislation is funneled into woke land and the symposium learning becomes a template either for bad actors who infiltrated or that was the purpose of the symposium to begin with.

#2  So could most anything you could add cargo containers to.
Posted by: magpie || 01/18/2023 1:03 Comments || Top||

#3  Huge aircraft carriers in the sky is a reality now. No need for land or sea platforms. So as areas like the Solomon's go down air platforms will fill in our need for being there as a deterrent or warning.

#4  I'm trying to determine the ship's crew -- if any -- needed to work this ship. Granted it could have various missions, but with a change in mission is there a change in numbers of crew -- if any. Or am I visualizing what I saw coming a decade ago, a humanless military inventory run by a bunch of deskjockeys out at Nellis? 00

#5  a humanless military inventory

No graft in that.

#6  The only peer vs. peer carrier war we have experienced was the WW2 Pacific Theater. One notable characteristic was that carriers fighting were more like matter / antimatter collisions: "You sink one of mine and I sink one of yours ... unless I have a whole lot more than you and then it is a Turkey Shoot." The question is if the 'Drone Mothership" has swung the tactic calculus towards building multiple 'small carriers' instead of the "size has its own economy" Super carriers the US is building...? Time will tell.

#7  Garth, the term in the surface navy is "bullet magnet". You protect the big boat, but not from too close.
