One man rose to the top of popularity in Leningrad because of his natural leadership abilities.
Once the Nazis were defeated, Stalin had him report to the Kremlin where he was tortured and shot to death.

What is the slash of light? It looks like a beacon from or a lighted spire on a skyscraper, but we don't get an Empire State Building until 1935, and not that in Leningrad.
I like it graphically, but it hurts my brain too much trying to make something literal of it.

In 2015 there were 10 rapes (10 too many) on the UTex campus. There are 52k students and almost 40k admin, staff, prof, visitors to the campus. Lets call it 80k. So 10/80k equals 12/100k. About 4 times safer than Austin.
The were almost 500 rapes in Austin City limits or 52/100k

they probably used the same tactic crooked Mueller and his mob use ... pretend they are just asking questions, maybe even praise their service.
"So good to see you General Flynn, could you help us out with a few of these details?" next thing Flynn knows he has to sell his house to cover legal fees, and then confess to a non-crime to keep Mueller's thugs from destroying his son.
Mueller learned from Stalin ... protect's his own (DeepState) and attacks the existential threat to their power (Trump).

Thin Ice - a limerick
If across the Russian tundra you must schlep
You should move with great alacrity and pep
Stay light on your toes
And make sure the ice is froze
Be careful and always watch your steppe!

Agreed. I think the more romantic or exotic the fantasy is, the more disappointing the reality becomes. The movie playing in your head - the Siberian Express! Romance! Intrigue! Adventure! - conveniently ignores the realities of delays, surly service, bad food, substandard hygiene, rotten accommodations and unpleasant fellow travelers.
For example, I would love to go to the Vienna Opera Ball and dance with a princess, but if I ever did make it there, I know I'd be stuck alone at a table among snotty Europeans laughing at my ill-fitting rented tails, sweating, fat and incredibly unhappy watching beautiful duchesses, countesses and noble ladies sweeping across the room in fabulously expensive gowns.

It was Christmas Day evening / Boxing Day morning when they crossed the river / fought the Hessians. The point being regarding timing was that the Hessians would have overindulged themselves on Christmas revelry.
A bolder move in military history would be harder to find, IMHO.

Polls always have to be reweighted according to region and population and then have a turnout projection model factored in.
Take in pollsters who seem to be generally leftist biased and just can't help but put their fingers on the scales and the result are polls that are either psy-ops gaslighting bullshit or forever hopeful that the democratic turnout will fit their optimistic projections.

Muldoon, have you considered a paper on Moron neurology and brain anatomy?
For example, in the Moron anterior cingulate cortex, the mammary neurons receive axons from the subiculum, and the whole forms a neuronal circuit in the limbic system known as the Elbows circuit. The ACC is involved in conflict detection processes between ScoggDog zero and one determinations.

No ADP molecules were harmed in the construction of these limericks.
Point of fact, there is very little energy to be gained from an ADP molecule. It is the cleaving of the phosphate bond in ATP (converting to ADP) that provides the energy needed to sneeze out a limerick. See the in-depth overanalysis at the link in my nick.

The battle of Trenton brought to mind Washington's army's two times that they encamped outside Morristown, NJ, the second of which reputedly was worse than that at Valley Forge. There was a film shown at the national park in Morristown when we visited there a couple of decades ago. One of the Continental soldiers in it was played by Peter Weller, of RoboCop and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension fame.

* The sun came up at 9:30 and was setting by 3:00.
*Half the employees came to work on snowmobiles.
* Cars had safety orange flags mounted to them so you could see cars coming at an intersection the snow was piled so high.
*Maintenence on the shipping docks was done there. Was horrified to see 18 wheeler service trucks loaded with equipment parked on the ice.

For example, in the Moron anterior cingulate cortex, the mammary neurons receive axons from the subiculum, and the whole forms a neuronal circuit in the limbic system known as the Elbows circuit. The ACC is involved in conflict detection processes between ScoggDog zero and one determinations.

Activity in long projecting neurons of the ACC is potentiated by sublethal concentrations of ethanol and bacon.

Back in my Army days in Alaska, we used frozen lakes as helicopter LZs all the time. Which could get dangerous, not from thin ice but from the ice getting slick from the melted water on top. Did a landing in Hueys once where the bird I was on slid forward as soon as the skids touched down. Had a blade strike on the tail rotor of the bird ahead. Really exciting, especially when pieces of the rotor came flying through the windscreen and laid out the crew chief. Luckily, he just ended up with cracked ribs.

Clearly I have no sense of scale here, so I'm just assuming, there's a point at which jeeps are safe, but trucks are not, and a point at which a single truck is safe, but a buttload of deuce and a half type trucks, attempting to supply a major city, would not.

While the punchline may not be original, the limerick construction
is. I use various puns and old jokes, then adapt them to limerick form.
They percolate in my left cerebral hemisphere for about a minute and
a half, then spring forth fully formed from somewhere in the cingulate
gyrus.
It's either a gift or a curse. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Thus brings to mind my idea for Speed Skating and Dodging as an Olympic sport. The course would be a ten mile measured distance on a frozen lake. Two teams, three persons per team. One skater and two to man the mortar.
The goal Is to complete the course in the fastest time. After the start and the skaters are away, the mortar team members of each team are free to drop mortar rounds in the opposing skater's path.
The elimination rounds would be a bitch.

You're going to see more of that as September rolls on. The battlefield isn't nearly as broad as the Dems/Media/NT's (BIRM) once thought.
If the Dems topple the House it will be with no more than 225-seats (that would be +30, which is an outside possibility) - a barely functioning majority.
GOP will add a bare minimum of 3 in the Senate, could easily be anywhere from 5-10 though depending on who shows up (and how many dearly departed get their votes counted)

It would require a lot of energy to move that much water--more than a nuke can provide. Plus there's the question of how much energy would be imparted to the water in the form of heat...the summary of what I've seen about such things is "probably not".

Absolutely! In fact, we should be paying "carbon credits" for all the carbon we produce.
And that money, after a suitable skim-off for the noble Leftists in charge, should be given to these poor, downtrodden nations.
So that they can get closer to a first-world existence, with all the energy demands and carbon-creation that entails.
...wait a minute, this is sounding like a scam to enrich Leftists and impoverish the USA, and not a way to reduce carbon at all!

IIRC the perfect storm of the book and the movie occurred when a hurricane from the south collided with a low pressure system from the north.
But my memory might be faulty and I'm too lazy to look.

I was wondering when someone would point that out. Even the Tsar Bomba is barely a wet fart compared to the energy in a hurricane. Probably you could knock out a tornado with one, but that's not a very good trade-off, is it?
always curious how one proposes to decrease the energy of a system by adding energy to it - hurricanes are the Earth's mechanism for absorbing excess heat from the tropics and transporting it to dissipate in the temperate zones. Adding heat is not the kind of thing that's going to make them go away.
