This Might Be Better Than A Flying Car, Especially In Traffic
US Army's next-gen combat vehicle adds autonomy, 50 mm cannon power
At the center of the XM30's capabilities is an unmanned turret equipped with a 50 mm XM913 Bushmaster autocannon. This weapon offers greater range and firepower than the 25 mm cannon on the Bradley, improving effectiveness against modern armored threats. The unmanned turret allows the vehicle to operate with a two-person crew. Both crew members remain inside the hull, enhancing protection by removing the need for a traditional manned turret position.Here's the video! Yes, it's an advertisement, but it looks like just the thing for commuting into our blue cities. I saw a video of one of our Bradleys we gave to Ukraine absolutely knocking the snot out of a Russian tank. And the Bradley carries a 25mm gun. A 50mm chain gun will be a game changer...maybe.

Halloween: 3, Moviegoers: 0
I kid the third entry in the Halloween series. Because it's awful. But as it's one of Darcy The Mail Girl's favorite movies, and she got to program Friday night for The Drive-In Jamboree, we all watched it together with director Tommy Lee Wallace and stars Tom Atkins and Stacey Nelkin on stage. Allowing for a little too dim a projection—the Jamboree had a lot of technical difficulties—it was basically the best possible circumstance to watch Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. Rather amusingly, Drive-In Producer Austin Jennings had prepared a supercut of all the times Joe Bob had trashed this movie, which was fun with everyone there and a pro-H3 audience. Did I say "all"? Apparently, it was a mere fraction of the times he had done it. Because, again, it's just not a very good movie. If we're being honest, the crowd was still just barely over 50/50 thumbs-up/thumbs-down, and that's with a strongly pro-Tommy Lee, pro-Tom Atkins, pro-Stacy Nelkin, pro-Darcy audience. "Hello, England? You remember that lintel from Stonehenge you were looking for? Yeah, it's here in California. I don't know how they got it here in three days!

Old Civilizations, Wonderful Things
Still true
It was a relief to see the astronauts make it safely through re-entry and successfully splash down in the Pacific last night. I read that Congress would not allocate funds for much new development for this mission, so much of the technology was 50 years old. But when lunar landings start again, with rovers and a planned permanent moon base, new technology will be contracted out to private firms.
The artist's rendition of a future moon base here reminds me of some of the torn-up landscape we passed this week from the probably-doomed high-speed rail project in California. Except that there was a lovely ranch house a few hundred feet away, over a small ridge.
Is California government, with Gavin Newsom and Eric Swalwell, a dying civilization?

Fang-Fang Banger and Democrat Smear Merchant Eric Swalwell is Melting Down as Campaign Staffers Quit and More Sexual Assault Accusers Come Forward
Apparently she told two people about the second sexual assault, at about the time it happened. More accusers are coming, says Democrat-friendly leak receptacle CNN.
As they say: Every "Male Feminist" should come along with a rape whistle to warn the unwary.
A former staffer claims that Swalwell raped her when she was too drunk to consent. Twice. From the SF Chronicle, quoted by Red State:He took it out.
A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent. [...] The woman said Swalwell began pursuing her within weeks after she was hired at age 21 to work in the Democrat's district office in Castro Valley in 2019. Swalwell messaged her on Snapchat, she said, sending images of his genitals and seeking nude pictures of her in return. She said Swalwell, who is married and 17 years her senior, tried to kiss her in her car when she drove him home from a donor meeting one night. Driving him to another event weeks later, she said Swalwell pulled out his penis in the car and asked her to perform oral sex on him. She said she did so in a parking lot.
In September 2019, the woman said, Swalwell invited her out for drinks and she became so severely intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night. She said she woke up naked in Swalwell's hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse. She said Swalwell distanced himself from her afterward and the relationship faded.
The woman also alleged that Swalwell sexually assaulted her five years later, when she was no longer a staffer, where, after a charity gala, she was "so inebriated that she only remembers snippets of the night, including pushing Swalwell away and telling him, 'No,' while he allegedly forced himself on her."
Apparently she told two people about the second sexual assault, at about the time it happened. More accusers are coming, says Democrat-friendly leak receptacle CNN.
Three other women who spoke with CNN also alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by the Democratic congressman -- including Swalwell sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos. One woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk inside his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what occurred. Earlier in the night at a bar, he kissed her and touched her leg without her consent, she said. Another woman, who described receiving unsolicited nude messages from Swalwell, was social media creator Ally Sammarco. She said she initially reached out to the congressman on Twitter to discuss politics. "I truly never thought he would respond -- I had like 1,000 followers at the time," she said. "And he actually responded."CNN also adds: She told family members and friends about the sexual assault a day or two after it happened. So the Democrats are terrified that two Republicans will win the jungle primary and they will be locked out of the governor's mansion. To reduce those risks, they have to drive some of the other Democrats out of the race and consolidate around a couple candidates -- or better yet, one single candidate. Gee, I wonder who benefits from this and I wonder who is screaming the news out on Twitter but totally wasn't behind this coordinated political-"journalistic" hit:

It's about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 -- and America is winning on every front. Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela's oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: "𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯.

Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the "𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰," Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬.

Armstrong connected the dots to what the Pentagon calls 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 -- Greenland through the Panama Canal, the entire Western Hemisphere secured as a self-sufficient American economic and security zone. "𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢."

The Week in Woke

Sad! Another storybook Hollywood marriage ends! Diff'rent Strokes actor Todd Bridges, who I imagine was on some terrible celebrity reality shows in the late nineties but hasn't worked since, is getting divorced from his photographer/designer wife of three and a half years
Bridges filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) Without Minor Children on Tuesday, according to Maricopa County Superior Court records in Arizona.No children? Really? This surprises me. City Journal: The Supreme Court has turned decisively against woke ideology on transgenderism. First: Gorsuch's woke betrayal, insisting that a transgender who wanted to LARP as a woman at a funeral home during funeral services for the dead could not be fired or demanded to dress as a man. The mourners, Gorsuch decided, would just have to stop being transphobes.
But since then, the Court has turned.
In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court found that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. Such an interpretation would have surprised anyone alive in the 1960s, when the federal government routinely fired employees even suspected of being gay. But this aspect of the ruling wasn't that controversial in 2020. Most Americans supported same-sex marriage and, outside of certain religious employers, few businesses had any reason to fire workers because of their sexual orientation. But Bostock included a companion case that led to a far more sweeping ruling. A Michigan funeral home employed a biological male who later experienced gender dysphoria and decided to "live and work full-time as a woman," including by wearing female attire. Concerned about how grieving families might react to a man dressed as a woman, the funeral home fired the employee. The Court's majority, in an opinion by Neil Gorsuch, held that federal civil rights law prohibits terminations based on gender identity. Mourners, in effect, would have to get with the times.
One year after having been #cancelled by the lunatic left for "denigrating the seriousness of domestic violence," Dax Sheppard and Kirsten Bell are still apologizing. Let's look at the horrible offense they committed:
The gender-identity aspect of Bostock immediately raised pressing legal questions. Did Title IX require schools to allow biological males to compete on female teams? Did the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause bar bans on "gender-affirming" surgeries for minors? Did the law require religious hospitals to remove healthy reproductive organs to facilitate gender transitions? In the wake of Bostock, the answer to these questions, and others, seemed to be yes. Society was expected to "affirm" gender identity, support adolescents seeking puberty blockers, and accommodate social transition. Parents faced pressure to accept their child's transition; public schools were said to have duties to adopt gender-identity curricula, manage student transitions, and permit biological males to compete in female sports. Those who resisted risked being labeled bigots. But then the "arc of the moral universe" began bending rightward. After Bostock, state legislatures across the country prohibited medical gender procedures for minors, even with parental consent. Sports fans objected to biologically male athletes like Lia Thomas winning against female athletes. Even some who accepted Bostock's sexual-orientation holding grew uneasy with its implications for gender identity. Perhaps the most effective political ad of the 2024 presidential election spoke to this issue: "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you." On Inauguration Day, President Trump signed an executive order declaring, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Critics may have thought the order was mere symbolism, but Trump's policy reflected the position around which public opinion had coalesced--that asserting biological truth does not constitute bigotry. The Supreme Court soon adapted to this shift. Consider six rulings over the past year that all point in the same direction. United States v. Shilling allowed the Department of Defense to discharge transgender service members. United States v. Skrmetti held that states could prohibit medical gender treatments for minors. Mahmoud v. Taylor ruled that parents have a religious-liberty right to opt their children out of learning about "LGBTQ-inclusive books." Trump v. Orr allowed the State Department to print passports that list only a person's biological sex. Mirabelli v. Bonta found that schools cannot secretly transition students to another gender without telling their parents. Chiles v. Salazar held that Colorado could not prohibit therapists from counseling people to be comfortable with their biological sex. Finally, in a seventh, still-pending case, West Virginia v. B.P.J., the Court will likely rule that colleges can exclude biological males from female sports.
Dax Shepard is speaking out about that Kristen Bell anniversary post backlash. On the April 6 episode of his "Armchair Expert" podcast, the "Parenthood" star, 51, addressed the controversy surrounding Bell's Oct. 17 Instagram post celebrating their wedding anniversary. The "Good Place" actress, 45, wrote, "Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who, after [an] episode of 'Dateline,' once said to me: 'I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.'" The post sparked outrage as some fans argued Bell was making light of domestic violence and that it was tone-deaf during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Speaking with his guest Nikki Glaser on "Armchair Expert," Shepard alluded to the situation when he dismissed "all these people that are convinced I'm beating Kristen," arguing those who were "outraged" about the post were people who have "never been in a relationship."Who doesn't have Domestic Violence Awareness Month marked on their calendars? Regarding these people never being in a relationship: Yes, they're all femcels who are bitterly jealous that other women have known the touch of a man. "Based Camp" examines the evidence that these gross and smelly women are actually "Spiteful Mutants" who are embittered for being excluded from the relationship market and are attempting to destroy society as vengeance. Simone explains that people who are "malformed" in some way, by choice, by birth, by psychology, or by self-mutilation, seek to undermine other people's ability to successfully mate. Here's a Guy With A British Accent talking about Spiteful Mutants as a mental maladapation which then produces a phyiscally-maladapted form (though I imagine the causation also goes the other way). Do you object to you children being raped by gangs of barbaric foreign invaders? Well, an Islamic professor has simple advice for you, Racist: "Get over it." This is their country now. You'll play by their rules.
[The College Fix:] The Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University recently told social media users to "get over it" in response to concerns about a link between "rape gangs" and Islam. Professor Jonathan Brown dismissed concerns about the crisis in the United Kingdom in two now-deleted X posts, the Daily Caller reported. Rupert Lowe, an Independent Member of Parliament, wrote in a post on X, "There is a link between the rape gangs and one particular religion -- we have seen it again and again and again at our inquiry." "That religion is Islam. As a country, we must have the courage to face up to that fact," he wrote. Brown replied, "get over it." He then wrote the same phrase in response to another user who called his remark "absurdly evil."

Steve Inman's Wide World of Justified Violence Open Thread
A Goth antifa looking Karen advances on a young man (who is also wearing all black) and discovers why the Olympics Committee forbids men competing with women in physical sports. A Cultural Enricher stops a train by holding open the door while the passengers keep telling her to close the door so that they can be on their way. She refuses. She actually has plenty of room and time to get on the train, but she's either holding the door for someone else who isn't even on the platform, or just holding up the train to run her mouth and prove that She the Queen Here. At some point, a helpful young gentlemen intervenes and gently escorts her ass to the concrete. An Australian yob advances on police women armed only with tasers, while armed with a knife. This one has a surprise ending that I wouldn't want to spoil. Kinda violent but worth it! An idiot advances on a man who tells him to go away. The man then explains why the idiot should leave: "I'm trying to save you." This is a cool-ass line I could imagine Rambo saying and you might wonder, But does he have the skills to back this line up? You be the judge. This is rough: Street bandits attempt to stop a truck by standing in front of it. Two problems with that plan: one, the truck's driver does not owe you care and kind treatment, and two, he's driving a fucking truck. DO THE MATH, SUB-CRETINS. This is a compilation of five clips. The first two show well-earned Beefhammer Ballets. The fourth I have to warn you about: A Cultural Enrichment Outreach Coordinator refuses to exit the car at a police stop and then opens fire on the cops. The cops then demonstrate what hours at range practice can do for you. If it's not clear, this results in a killing or at least a very deep Red Nap. This Cultural Enricher is in a stand-off with police as he holds a knife to the neck of a woman, as Cultural Enrichers frequently do. For some reason he decides to give up his hostage and advance on the gun-armed cops with his knife. I don't know what what he was thinking, but the cops were thinking they should shoot him dead, and they do. This is the worst one. But also the best one, if you can deal with graphic content. Two men have a verbal argument when one, out of nowhere, just straight up stabs the other in the belly with a long knife. The stabbed man staggers away, and the knife-wielding attacker follows him. And then he learns he should have just walked away because the stabbed man, backed into a life-or-death situation, fights back. An oldie:

But let me recommend going to 0:39 to see an all-girl street fight, with all of the ho's wearing cocktail dresses. So much hair pulling and kicking a downed ho. And one girl hangs a Full Boob out of her dress after being knocked on her ass. It's niiiice. Also there's a classic clip at 1:34. Mexican drunk plays Street Matador with people's cars and then they get out of their cars and it's not so funny now is it? Antifa sitting in the street gets a nice little head-check from a car. Shirtless tweaker mutant gets the Daniel Penny treatment.

Women Are Sharing How To Detect Whether A Man Is Actually Liberal From A Mile Away, And You're Gonna Want To Take Notes Do yourself a favor and bookmark this one for future reference.Done and done! And I mean done. Posted on Mar 27, 2026
They mean they were lazy and had no ideas so they asked their commenters to write a post for them. I have to start doing that. I did it a couple of times, years and years ago. Here are the real bangers of advice women give to other women to deliberately sabotage them and keep them from being sexual competition or attracting any mate at all:
In 2026, political views are a major indicator of compatibility in dating. But most people aren't exactly disclosing this information on a first date, which means you're often left decoding subtle cues to gauge which side of the aisle someone's on. This detective work can be exhausting, so we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share the telltale signs that a man is liberal.
Right off the bat, they're telling you their ideal male mate is a gay man who is also looking for the ideal male mate. The second one says that she wants her man to go out of his way to signal that he's actually gay. There are a lot of eligible men who do that. They are all gay.
1. "He's definitely left-leaning if he's not afraid of the word tampons." --Anonymous, 45, Female, Chicago 2. "If a man supports LGBTQIA+ rights. Even better, if he can say another man is hot without fearing people will think he's gay." --Anonymous, 55, Female, Philadelphia
I want a man who doesn't care how many dozens of men have been inside men. Oh I've got just the ticket -- have you considered a gay man?
3. "He doesn't ask for a body count within the first few dates. Any conservative or Trump supporter I've gone on a date with would ask, without fail, within the first few dates -- usually on the first date." --Anonymous, Female, Florida
I mean... at this point, I would usually start making up my own joke entries, but I don't have to. Here's another one pining for a gay man:
5. "The biggest blue flag is if he's in therapy and is comfortable working through his issues and trauma with professionals." --Anonymous, 48, Female, Ohio
"I want a man who really knows his way around a realistic dildo." Below: Another "I want a man who is essentially a woman" post.
6. "If he's excited to use toys in bed because it'll help YOU finish. Toys are not his competition! If he's excited for whatever gets you off, that screams 'feminist who cares about his partner's pleasure and is secure in his masculinity.' Two qualities you likely won't find in conservative men." --Anonymous, 33, Female, Minnesota
Okay so a guy who has a large harem of girl friends is either a real player or he's, you know.
7. "It's always a good sign when he has close positive platonic relationships with women. My now husband is very close with a female friend, had a close female mentor at work that he spoke positively about, and spoke with a lot of respect and fondness about multiple female friends." "He had close guy friends too, but honestly, his close female friendships helped him grow emotionally and communicate well, so it wasn't expected for me to be the only one to meet all his emotional support needs. When we all hung out, there was never a whisper of anything sexual, and he was always respectful of everyone. He also has a good relationship with his sister and mom." --Anonymous
Stanley cups are those large oversized drinking cups that became a huge trend due to women bloggers asking Stanley to make them in pretty colors. They had been intended for men working outside in construction or jobs like that, so Stanley thought that slate gray was all the color needed. No, these women bloggers told them, women will buy them if you make them in pretty colors. Stanley gave in, just to shut them up, and for once, loud-mouthed demanding broads were right. Trend-chasing easily-influenceable women who spend all their time on the internet lifestyle-comparing with other women turned them into a national craze. I'm not saying you have to be that kind of person to own one. Let me just admit this so that you can all make fun of me and add it to my list of heterosexuality-doubts: I own one too. (Honestly, it is too big. It really should be used... by dudes working outside for whom an oversized cumbersome drinking cup is worth it because they are hundreds of yards from a fountain or convenience store. I only use it to try to get in my daily creatine.) Anyway, by saying that a man should really be into the nearly exclusively female trend of 2019 of buying Stanely cups in pretty colors, yet another woman says that what she looks for in a man is another woman.
8. "Stanley Cups scream liberal to me, for some reason." --Anonymous
Literally every other post is a wish for a man to be just another girlfriend -- who treats at dinner -- or a gay friend.
9. "I think a good indicator that a man is liberal-leaning is if they don't shy away from conversations about women's health, like someone's period. Even better if they're comfortable buying tampons for their girlfriend, wife, daughter, etc.
Now, could a person with those qualities also be conservative? Sure, but I have not met any yet. Oh, and attending International Women's Day events in support of their girlfriend, wife, or daughter is also nice." --Anonymous, 33, Female, Canada
10. "He doesn't get mad at women when you drop hard facts about misogyny and the microaggressions women deal with frequently." --Anonymous"I want to pop off all the time and never be challenged! Because I want 'equality' in relationship where my word is his command as if he were a subordinate!"
Again, this is a preppy woman's kind of look. Well, preppy women, and Jm J. Bullock from Too Close for Comfort.
11. "If he wears his sweater around his shoulders, he's probably liberal."
--Anonymous, 45, Female, New Jersey
... 13. "Literally any complaint about the economy and prices is a blue flag in my opinion. I live with a lot of MAGA who refuse to admit they're paying almost twice as much for groceries now than they did under Biden. This is how I figured out my neighbors across the street are Democrats, too. They were trying the same litmus test on me, saying, 'Oof, these tariffs are killing me.' I was like, 'YES, THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE.'" "People who aren't MAGA don't go on the offense or make excuses for the state of the economy right now. We know Trump is screwing it up and don't care to save face for him." --Anonymous, 31, Female, ColoradoJust curious: Was this also a Blue Flag when inflation hit over 20% under Biden or nah? Nah, right?
90% of modern "feminism" is just the demand that anytime a woman says something, a man agrees and praises her for saying it. They are very, very keen on this point: Anything they think, say, or do must be validated and praised. This is such a distinctly feminine form of narcissism that it was noted 23 years ago by the left-wing Onion, back when it was occasionally funny. We haven't had a "look for a gay man as a mate" one in a while. Let's fix that.
14. "A big blue flag for me is when I tell a man I'm a mechanical engineer and they don't act disgusted, or tell me it's a man's job, or that I'm too manly. Conservatives never respond positively to the fact that I'm an engineer; liberals always seem genuinely interested, ask questions, and are complimentary. Conservatives turn it into a pissing contest by suddenly asking about cars, machinery, or other random things, and get upset when I know the answers." --Anonymous, 42, Woman, Arizona
Back to "I want a man who is actually a woman:"
17. "Big blue flag is when he's flattered when a gay man flirts with him because he knows most gay men only pick cute straight men."
--Anonymous, 38, Female, US
This is all deeply narcissistic stuff. I'm sure a lot of men would prefer it if their girl was into sports or video games -- but they do not demand it as a litmus test for compatibility.
18. "He knows a few (or more) female professional athletes and their stats -- not just that they are beautiful." --Anonymous, 50, Female, Tacoma, WA
Oh a male is adding what he looks for in a man. Finally, some honesty. Again: "I want a man who is not just a gay man but the gayest of gay men." Another repeat: "I want a man who narcissistically and pointlessly spends a lot of time and money on therapy like I do."
20. "Liberal guys generally try to pronounce uncommon names correctly and go out of their way to do so. This shows that they value people and respect the way they see/identify themselves, and usually this transfers to any person who uses non-traditional pronouns (they/them, etc.) See how often Trump and other Republicans purposely mispronounce the names of people they don't like or respect? It's the same for most conservative men, I find." --Anonymous, 42, Male, San Antonio, TX
It should never be all about him. It must always be all about me.
21. "My partner is willing and able to discuss his emotions in depth, asks for (and respects) my opinions, shows genuine respect and care towards everyone in his orbit, is kindly curious about everyone he meets, and strives every day to become a better man and person through therapy and self-reflection. He takes in the world around him and thinks about how he can help everyone have a better life experience. It's not all about him!"
--Anonymous, 34, Female, WA
Oh my days (I keep hearing that from British people and I want to use it instead of "OMG"), find another OCD obsession. You're so boring and basic. Why can't he just be a gay and/or a woman?
25. "The guy I'm dating said something along the lines of, 'Can you believe what that orange f*ck has said lately?' I literally lit up inside! --heroiccan516
Hey liberal ladies, have I got the perfect emotionally-incontinent, obsessive, vindictive, politics-obsessed cuck dreamboat for you!!!
26. "Nail polish on men usually indicates a progressive mindset. It's an expression of self that shouldn't be reserved for women. It's also a sign that they are secure enough in themselves to be expressive, not bottling things up until they can't cope." --chilltable846

Putin Mocks Effete Effeminate Rent-Boy-Associate Keir Starmer
Putin has been sending his illegal sanctioned "Shadow Fleet" oil tankers through England's bathtub -- or its former bathtub, as you'll see -- the English Channel.
Keir Starmer told Putin to stop using the Channel for the illegal transport of sanctioned oil or he'd seize the shadow ships. And you know that when Keir Starmer acts tough, people take notice. So Putin sent his own warships into the Channel to protect the ships. England used to own the English Channel. Owning the English Channel protected it from invasion many times, from the French during the 100 Years War though World War II. Operation Sea Lion, I think Hitler called the plan to invade England, cancelled because the Nazis realized any attempt to reach English shores would result in disaster. And now? Not only does England no longer "own the seas," it can't even patrol its own Channel.They have one (1) deployable destroyer, which is a light-middleweight warship. This should be a class of warship England can deploy dozens of.
Russian frigate escorts sanctioned tankers through British waters despite PM's vow to seize vessels Vladimir Putin has openly defied Sir Keir Starmer's threat to seize sanctioned Russian vessels by sending a warship to escort them through the Channel. The Admiral Grigorovich, a Black Sea fleet frigate, accompanied a pair of shadow fleet ships on Wednesday while a British naval vessel followed behind. Positioned on the Royal Charlotte, a boat almost 10 miles from Dover, The Telegraph observed Putin's flotilla cruising past the south coast while RFA Tideforce, a Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker, trailed in their wake. Last month, Sir Keir gave special forces the authority to capture the armada of rusted ships illegally ferrying oil to support Russia's war in Ukraine, saying he would hit the shadow fleet "even harder" if they sailed through British waters. However, Britain is yet to seize a single Russian vessel. The Prime Minister has repeatedly faced criticism regarding the state of the Royal Navy and Britain's Armed Forces. After an Iranian-made drone hit RAF Akrotiri, HMS Dragon, Britain's only deployable destroyer, was sent to the Middle East, but took three weeks to arrive and has already had to return to port as it suffers water supply issues.
England is a tiny gay poodle with a big bark and big ideas about how the world should be run with absolutely no capacity to actually act. Their idea of "acting" is to whine at the US into doing its bidding.
In a speech on Saturday, Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, is expected to pile further pressure on Sir Keir, urging him to publish the long-delayed defence investment plan. She will state that there is "no plan for rearming Britain". Donald Trump, the US president, has previously described the Navy's two aircraft carriers as "toys" while his defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, mocked Britain's "big, bad Royal Navy". ... Admiral Grigorovich -- a 3,620-ton frigate armed with anti-ship, cruise and surface-to-air missiles -- sailed between the two 600ft tankers Universal and Enigma shortly after 9am on Wednesday as they headed west toward Plymouth. Universal reportedly departed from the Russian port of Vysotsk on Jan 18. The Russian-flagged tanker is believed to be on a mission to deliver crude oil to bolster the Kremlin's coffers, which are straining to fund Putin's war machine. In September, she was outlawed in British waters for attempting to "destabilise Ukraine or undermine or threaten" Kyiv by exporting oil from Russia to fund its invasion.
