Q: What's the motto of the US Marine Corps? A: Semper Fi (Always Faithful) Q: What's the motto of the Russian Army? A: Stop, drop, and run!

Thats a job? A twice weekly dog and pony show for a portion of the public that likes that sort of stuff. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently "The pair bought the nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom estate for a cool $14.65 million(US) in 2020 after quitting the royal family earlier that year — an estate with rose gardens, a tennis court, a tea house and a two-bedroom guest house. It’s reportedly the first home that both Prince Harry and Meghan had ever owned." At only 18,000 square feet. The poor dears! Pretty good for a guy who served a couple years(10) as a helicopter pilot. I'm guessing that after living in mansions paid for by the British public. Only 18k square feet will cram their style. But they are toughing it out. The UK pays its military personnel too much by the look of things.

Rumor has it that Lieutenant General Roman Berdnikov was in church every day since his appointment. He reaction when told about his dismissal. "Da there is a God." He immediately beat feet to 50km inside Russia. Muttering something about "Damn Amerikanski HIMARS"

First trump and now this. Maybe trickle down works after all.

Overall, we rate Real Science (goodsciencing.com) right biased and Questionable based on the promotion of quackery level pseudoscience, the use of poor sources, propaganda, failed fact checks, and a complete lack of transparency. Above from Media Bias fact Check. So its a quack here a quack there, over to FB, over to SC. Quack quack quackery.

No country has paid a higher price for choosing poor leaders than Russia. Part of that is a propensity for choosing strongmen. Stalin is responsible for much of Russia's losses in WW2. He purged the military again and again. He may be responsible for up to 20 million Russian deaths. So Putin has a ways to go.

EU and NATO members cannot spend defense dollars better than to support Ukraine. Its unfortunate that this is costing innocent lives. But perhaps someone in Russia will put Russia ahead of the ruble. Kick the FSB and its kleptocrat leader out of existence. Because until Russia does this the country will continue to pay a high price.

It appears as if there are problems in both the Kremlin and in the sunflower fields of southern Ukraine. In Ukraine about 25,000 Russians have been cut off from resupply on the N.W. banks of the Dnipro River. This effective encirclement of about 1/8th of Putin's "special military operation" troops. Could result in a major victory for Ukraine. Some units are already out of ammunition. Other news: "Moscow municipality has become the second Russian local authority this week to take the risk of calling for Vladimir Putin's resignation. The letter addressed to the president by council deputies at Lomonosovsky Municipal District did not directly mention Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but did refer to how Russia had now become "feared and hated" while "aggression" has taken the country back to the "Cold War era." Presumably they all have base rigs on in case anyone exits from hospital windows. Dictators and tyrants have a more problematic life than many can appreciate. It appears as if Vladimir may be choking on that large Ukrainian cabbage roll.

Or for young women. They realize that their husbands are republican and divorce them.

Rushmc and Ron are PhDs compared to the new crop of junior tribe members of the rabbit warrens.

Or touch outside door knobs, keep axes around, start your own car, or criticize Putin.

Rudy Guliani and Sydney Powell are now denying that they ever heard of voting machines. Just like trump now denies he ever heard of them.

Welcome. Hopefully your enthusiasm doesn't attract the wrong type of attention. Skydives out of hospital windows is the type of base jumps to be avoided.

General Mark Milley recently offered details about how US weapons are influencing the battlefield in Ukraine. To date $10 billion in aid has been delivered. Given that Putin and Russia is a danger to the world. Nothing is more effective in reducing Russia's influence and Putin's power. Than supplying weapons to Ukraine. The US has also increased the supply of weapons to other NATO allies. Including Ukraine's neighbors. This thread is not just about weapons and Ukraine.

As usual you go to your usual anti-science conservative bias-sites. Lets deal with one false representation. The GBR false recovery data. ""The reef has not been 'saved', and the risk of large areas of extensive mortality from bleaching in the years to come is extremely high." Speaking to AFP for an article on the study, Zoe Richards, a researcher at the Coral Conservation and Research Group at Australia's Curtin University also cautioned against over-optimism. "This recovery trend is driven by a handful of Acropora species which often grow in a boom-and-bust pattern," she said. "This means that the next thermal stress event could easily decimate these coral communities once again." "We are already finding evidence that each mass bleaching event leads to local extinctions of rarer species, so the short-term success of a handful of fast-growing coral species masks the full story about the largely hidden losses of biodiversity." I have to say that the alleged MBA, if true, must be from Wharton. These alleged opinions that you parade as "facts" are easily destroyed. Your arguments laced with fatal flaws. So rarer species are being destroyed by bleaching reducing biodiversity. Which is good enough for your inquiring mind.

Well Texas is number one.

Hey Brent. Whatabout the cancer in children. Or are you avoiding that? Or just don't care?

Living in Happy Valley you should get familiar with cancer drugs. August 2022 "Young children living near fracking wells at birth are up to three times more likely to later develop leukemia, a new peer-reviewed study conducted by the Yale School of Public Health finds. The alarming report, published on Wednesday in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal, looked at over 400 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia out of a sample of about 2,500 Pennsylvania children ages two to seven." The peer reviewed study looked at over 400 cases of acute leukemia out of a sample of 2,500 Pennsylvania children ages two to seven I guess if its cheap oil and gas and not your child its all good right Brent?

Texas: The Environmental Protection Agency stated in an April 2021 report that there could be as many as 3.4 million abandoned wells nationally. At $60,000 per well Texas will have a half trillion dollar liability. Texas drought "Trailer lines stretched for a mile in both directions, waiting to unload livestock at Emory Livestock Auction in Emory, Texas for the July 9 sale. Located 65 miles east of Dallas, this ‘melting-pot’ sale barn held its typical sale following the Fourth of July holiday. The sale brought in a total of 3,494 head of livestock, including cattle, horses, sheep and goats, from 527 sellers. Of the 3,494 head, 2,763 were cattle with 935 head classified as breeding stock." No, Texas is in serious trouble but at least it has guns. So its still number one in road rage shootings- killings.

The beatings will continue until the dialogue improves.

If you preach and instruct the uneducated. Those blank minds will parrot what they hear.

Just more of the same old, same old with a little distraction equivalency thrown in. FOX and the GOP has its tribe trained like a pack of Pavlov's dogs.

Are your algorithms acting up again? Haven't you started several fake threads on aortic ice already.

She sounds like a bit of a populist. BoJo lite, cut taxes, save environment, deal with energy crisis, health crisis, put more food on the table. All while not spending more money. Or is she a sister to BoJo populism. How can have your cake, eat it and leave the table w/o paying.

She has her work cut out for her as new UK PM. Energy policies and taxes combine with the soft pound due to Brexit.
