Trounced on home turf: British Royal Marine commandos force US Marines into humiliating surrender halfway through five-day war training exercise in Mojave desert

Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today. 

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.


It's a great day in the all new US military! Look, I get it. Training exercises are designed to be tough and frequently the best lessons are learned by being crushed. And from the brief details in the article, the Tommies succeed in taking out the Leathernecks' command and control elements, so good for them. Still, I wish the US armed forces would get back to focusing full time on blowing things up and killing people, rather than being pulled from the field for a 2 day encounter session because Private Denise (nee Dennis) was offended when Sgt Smith rolled up his sleeves revealing a Globe and Anchor tattoo.

I Love This


It just makes me smile. The music is great, Ode To Joy is certainly one of the finest classical music pieces out there, and what a treat for this crowd in Barcelona. More to the story here, along with links to other classical music flash mobs. I especially like This one.

Oh, and let's give The USAF band their due for doing it at The Smithsonian.

These make me happy.

Texas Amends Its Constitution

Texans pass all 8 state constitutional amendments

I like doing stuff like this by amendment, it makes it harder for for the left to undo stuff that's done by simple legislation. It's a double edged sword, because I'm sure there have been plenty of amendments passed that I would oppose and now they're that much harder to undo. Amending the constitution by popular vote is also tricky. On one hand it's certainly democratic, but on the other amendments, referendums, etc tend to pass when put to the vote (from the article: “Since the Texas Constitution was adopted in 1876, voters have adopted 507 amendments and rejected 180, according to the Legislative Reference Library of Texas.“ ) and context is lost. An amendment mandating that Texas give every citizen one pound of gold would probably pass, for example, never mind that that would be impossible (according to this, that would be about 13% of the gold mined in all of human history, and would cost...lets see, round numbers: $1800/oz...x 12 troy oz/lb...x 54 million Texans...1.15 quadrillion dollars. I think inflation might result.

Of the 8 amendments, I wasn't a big fan of number 4.

Prop 4 changes the eligibility requirements to serve as a justice on the Texas Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals and intermediate appeals courts. Under the amendment, candidates must be a practicing lawyer or judge in Texas for at least 10 years under a law license that has not been revoked or suspended during that time. District Court judges are also required to have served as a lawyer or judge in Texas for eight years, also under a license that had not been revoked or suspended.

I can see the arguments for, but as a general principle I'm against regulations that exclude people from jobs they are qualified for. If Clarence Thomas moved to Texas, he wouldn't be eligible to be a judge.


What Slippery Slope?

I was told that I was a crazy conspiracy theorist for thinking that once you start erasing history it never ends.

Man Murdered Daughter's Ex-Boyfriend For Selling Her Into Sex Trafficking Ring

According to police, in October 2020 Eisenman learned his juvenile daughter had allegedly been sold to a sex-trafficking ring that operated in the Seattle area.
Eisenman, it is alleged, believed Sorensen was responsible for her sale and worked to locate him after he managed to return his daughter to the Spokane area later that month.
In November 2020, Eisenman learned Sorensen was due to be at a location in Airway Heights, and is accused of waiting there for him to arrive.
When Eisenman spotted Sorensen, he allegedly confronted Sorensen and got into a physical altercation with him.
The SPD Facebook post added: "During that encounter Eisenman abducted the victim, tying him up and placing him in the trunk of the vehicle.
"Eisenman subsequently assaulted the victim by hitting him in the head with a cinder block and then stabbed him repeatedly, causing his death."
Police said Eisenman placed Sorensen into a truck and drove the vehicle to a remote area in North Spokane County where he abandoned it.

So not only did he go get her back, he also took out the guy responsible. That's a DAD!

Part of why the Brits are good is because they have to be, they are not well funded but they also have a corporate culture that is very different from our force officer to enlisted wise.

They play the media affairs game very well.

92 This ad looks to be several months old, but I heard it on the radio this afternoon. It was radio, and I expect 'viewers' is altered, but I didn't notice:


"Smith & Wesson knows that sometimes the world can be a cold and dark place for us, but reminds viewers to bring warmth and light to those around us to make things a little better for everyone. The firearm manufacturer encourages viewers to do their part in fixing what feels like a broken road by preparing for the worst and always expecting the best."

99 Today, the Corps issued an email with an attached form to fill out for religious exemptions and another for medical exemption. Bout damned time. Of course, they asked questions that are immaterial, but there ya go. Also, that means they issued this with four days remaining before you have to get the J&J shot or be nonconforming. However, they cannot move against someone who filled out a form and filed it without individual adjudication.

They also said that if you don't get the shot, there are three ways you can be treated: you can get 5 days unpaid leave during which you will be "counseled and educated," (which sounds like fun), you can get 14 days unpaid leave to consider your sins, or you can be canned outright, all three for not obeying an order.

104 NY Times Wonders If Classic Rock Songs Should Be Toppled Like Confederate Statues

Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll (Part 2)," more popularly known as "The Hey Song," for instance, was pulled from airplay after the musician was convicted of possession of child pornography and a series of sex abuse offenses against young girls.

Interesting. I will forever link this song to the 1990s Chicago Bulls I grew up rooting for. They played this at the Chicago Stadium to rile up the crowd during timeouts. That song is to the 1990s Bulls as "Chelsea Dagger" is to the 2010s Chicago Blackhawks.

127 Allahpundit is apparently no longer curled up sobbing on the floor of his hovel, and is writing again.

He's pushing the latest Democratic excuse for the Virginia election - since Youngkin didn't wear a MAGA hat on the campaign trail, and wasn't constantly campaigning with Trump, his victory is actually a victory for NeverTrumpism.

A few small flaws with that theory - since the D's did nothing but try to tie Youngkin to Trump, this implies that the voters decided that the D's were lying.

Second, Youngkin violated the Prime Directive of NeverTrumpism - when you are a NeverTrumper, you're allowed to whine about corporate tax rates, but you never, ever try to do anything about the Democrats' endless offensive in the culture wars.

Youngkin actively allied himself with the insurrectionists attacking Virginia school boards. You'd never see Mitt Romney doing something so uncouth.

178 The thing with those 70's haircuts is that for people who have fine, limp, blonde hair they look best when men wash their hair a lot and then blow dry it.

That's me. My Dad was Navy, and used to cut my hair, until one time he screwed it up so badly my Mom said no more. After that, I had to have it high and tight on the sides, but had a hank of hair hanging in my eyes in the front. Once I went off to school, I'm not sure I got another haircut.

185 The cuck caucus sold the idea they could wreck GOP turnout like Nader did for the donks.

Speaking of blasts from the cuck past, Matthew Yglesias, writing in the Laurene Powell Jobs Propaganda Sheet (the Atlantic), is proposing the hoary trick of having a "bipartisan" group of Senators passing legislation. You know, the sort of "bipartisan" Senate group John McCain was always joining.

After all, what better way of passing Democratic legislation than having a few cuck Republican Senators giving it cover?

That's good news. I'm still waiting to see what my employer does. Ford seems to be out front with enacting their own mandates. Really hoping my employer does not follow suit. Because I think Ford's mandate is even more strict than the proposed OSHA regulation (which does not require work-from-home employees to be either "vaccinated" or go through "testing".)

I've been working from home since 03/13/20. So there's no logical reason for me to "vaccinated" or "tested" in order to do my job. But that didn't stop Ford from requiring it. Friday or Monday is usually the day when companies put out news like this. We'll see what tomorrow brings...

Russian movies and songs generally don't use actual obscenities (Russki mat') in them - tough guys in Russian movies may say "bitch" and "bastard", etc., but not actual Russian swear-words.

Leningrad doesn't observe that convention - the title of one of their songs is one of the major Russian obscenities, for example.

I go in the back where he's sitting and he's practically bald. I said wtf happened? He says well I asked for something between short and a boy's hair cut.

353 Evening, Horde. The flaw mob reminds me. I was running a frozen yogurt shop, and it was a slow night, the place was empty, and I was ready to close. About 30 young, college age yoofs, all black except for one girl, walked in at the same time. I wasn't worried, I could sense their goodness by their demeanor and dress. They sang for me, like they did all over town that evening, I learned later. I was too tickled to record it, but I'm glad I didn't. In hindsight, how many phone cameras did they perform for, just that day? Doesn't anyone just want to do something like that, or witness something like that, without the urge to put it on a memory card? You know, just experience it?

I gave them all free food, whatever they wanted, but I didn't tell the boss that part. They were all from a Kalamazoo college, in a choir. I had a great experience, and a great talk with their teacher about Bobby McFerrin and Take6, both of whom are among my favorite artists of all time.

435 My woketard employers sent the "drink the koolaid or else" message, as expected. I am surprised they are (supposedly) offering religious or medical exemptions. I am considering filing for the former, but I'm not sure I want to have it approved. I am .... not fond of the executive team and senior management due to their ongoing wokeness. I think it's not good for my physical, emotional, and spiritual health to continue associating with this company. Obviously it will suck to be unemployed, but I do have some short-term options. However, I do not believe the covidian cult will be satisfied with getting everyone vaxxed, even repeatedly, even every day. I've seen many of you are dealing with the same BS. So, I'm not sure exactly what I should ask for you to pray for... maybe some confidence in making decisions that are outside my normal behavior, support in doing difficult things to take care of others around me, wise use of the resources I have in doing these things... any suggestions would be appreciated

I think that's the point of most of Lilek's 70s and food excursions..poking fun at absurd things. He does seem to LIKE the 30s pop culture though. I have always admired his compulsion to document ordinary things as I also find everyday pop culture fascinating, and watching how the modern day rewrites history to fit whatever agenda, social or financial, they are pushing at the time.

Probably was worse for the actors playing the caddies as the film was suppose to focus on them before the people in charge realized they had some major stars and tailored the flick to feature them instead. Wonder if copies of the original script are floating around the intertubes somewhere.
Posted by: Bete at November 04, 2021 10:40 PM (Ojki1)

what I read was that they started making it, and realized the original script stunk on ice. So they added Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield, and asked them to just ad lib all their lines, since they weren't in the script.

and that's how a great comedy came to be.

And without a "ping", that mountain could've been in Technicolor, but the sonar ain't gonna hear it, cause the full chromatic spectrum doesn't spontaneously emit sound.

611 "Dazzle" uniforms would be, well, striking. Of course there were dozens of Dazzle schemes and patterns, so you'd have to specify. And agree Navy should have different dress, why not? At least they apparently got rid of the "blueberries", which as the nickname implied only provided camouflage in a blueberry patch, at dusk. And probably wasn't too useful in man-overboard situations, either.

Actually the green cammies shown in some photos of the deposed captain would be even worse if you're trying to spot somebody in the drink.

624 @WeirdDave, late to the party, but Clarence Thomas should not be a judge in Texas until he's been here 10 years. He has never practiced Texas law, so having him on the bench would result in occasional rookie mistakes. Not saying that a lot of it isn't transferable (it is) or fairly easy to pick up in a different jurisdiction (it is), but its not like there's a shortage of qualified lawyers to be judges in Texas. We don't need to be importing Missouri lawyers who have been on the federal bench for 30 years to do our judicial work.

We filled it with snow and proceeded to use the bong for its intended purpose. About 30 minutes later, while we were quite baked, we noticed that the snow had melted but there was still a large chunk of something white in the bong. It was bird shit.

I make similar stuff, but I use canning jars. I put a thick slice of onion on top and salt. I would love to get a can sealer to make stuff in cans, it is a bit more durable.

I knew a guy that would make emergency kits sealed in those half-sized salmon cans. Fish hooks, granola bar, matches, gum, instant coffee, sugar and lifesavers. He would sell a box of six with a P-38 taped to one of them.

They were small enough to stick in a pocket, just in case.

We don't really know the depth and speed and whether that conformed to sound and in place best practices for that area. IIRC, the USS San Francisco was doing roughly the same thing, in roughly the same area.

The Navy concluded that "several critical navigational and voyage planning procedures" were not being implemented aboard San Francisco, despite Mooney's otherwise remarkably good record.

I would guess that that area is far from well-charted, and given the seismic activity in the Pacific Rim, it is ever-changing. The above finding would dictate prudence is my guess as to the Connecticut finding.

732 Red Army sarcastic slang for US canned meat in rations was "Second Front".

In lieu of the second front they so desperately needed to relieve German pressure on them, they got canned meat instead (well, and LOTS of other stuff, obviously).

And yadda yadda about Stalin's impatience, Allies had very good reasons for their timetable, but the sarcasm of the soldat is perfect.

Apparently some Russian company is making authentic repros of Red Army WWII rations including the "second front" canned meat. Pretty cool.

Personally I'd prefer a PPsh-41, a DT-28, a T-34 and a katyusha battery, but a field ration is a good start.

Sail. Arctic rated boats have an Ice Strengthened SAIL. They ascend through the icepack above, vertically, with zero forward speed, and the sail cracks and then penetrates the ice. They continue to blow-ballast till the sail hatchways are clear of the floes, and then deploy crews according to the Mission Brief.

The sonar dome of any given "Albacore" shaped sub, is a sphere mounted outboard of the forward pressure bulkhead, which is then enclosed in a very strong fiberglass housing, defining the water-penetrating prow of the boat. Said fiberglass housing is flooded when submerged, putting the sonar-sphere in direct contact with the water through which it transmits and/or receives it's signals. No such thing as an Ice Reinforced Bow on any U.S. submarine, at least in terms of "ice-breaking" strength. But an inch thick of hand-laid fiberglass and resins sure can move a bunch of loose, floating ice out of the way without much bother.

752 @WeirdDave, late to the party, but Clarence Thomas should not be a judge in Texas until he's been here 10 years. He has never practiced Texas law, so having him on the bench would result in occasional rookie mistakes. Not saying that a lot of it isn't transferable (it is) or fairly easy to pick up in a different jurisdiction (it is), but its not like there's a shortage of qualified lawyers to be judges in Texas. We don't need to be importing Missouri lawyers who have been on the federal bench for 30 years to do our judicial work.


I disagree. This smacks of something the Texas bar came up with to exclude competition. Of course a judge should be conversant in state law. You think it would take Thomas 10 years to get there? I'm not proposing appointing any Joe off the street to the court (although I can think of a few folks with good old common sense that would do a better job than lawyers with decades of experience), but arbitrary time-in-service requirements do nothing but protect the tenured from the talented.

774 As explained above, passive sonar likely would not pick up a passive structure, and active is not used except in extraordinary circumstances, like combat. Also in training, but also rare. Passive sonar is never turned off. It is just listening.
Posted by: flounder at November 05, 2021 12:10 AM (KnJdm)

I understand the difference between active and passive sonar. But if you are sending a sub into an area of ocean where seamounts exist, it's reasonable to to expect that there may be some that are uncharted. So either you run active sonar, or you proceed at a dead slow pace so that a collision won't cause damage. Seamounts can be pretty large; even if they were right on the assigned course, they might have hit it.

775 I read the entire linked article. Makes it clear that there were a lot of ChiCom aircraft in the area and things were incredibly tense. In the South China Sea.

Popping even a single "ping" could be fatal if those ChiCom planes were dropping sonobouys, or if there was a string of ChiCom passive listening stations we didn't know about.

Submarinering is inherently dangerous.

I wonder if Navy subs are equipped with gravimeters? Ocean water is less dense than the rock, any rock, that makes up the seafloor. If you are approaching a seamount, the seafloor is rapidly rising to meet you, and there should be a commensurate increase in the perceived force of gravity. If you also had instruments that could measure gravitational force in the horizontal plane, you could detect the approach of some massive object, too.

The environmental devastation wrought by the Commies in Poland was biblical level disaster bad. They are still recovering from that, as well as being one of the poorest countries in Europe prior to WW2 and losing 25% of their population murdered during that war. Poland will probably never fully recover from the 20th Century.

Okay, I'm really signing off this time.

This is how you create a technocracy. Only "experts" need apply. Who is an expert? Why someone who has served in government for several years. Who can become an expert? Only someone who serves in government for several years.

That will ensure only those we've had ample time to corrupt, and whose mind thoroughly functions within the constraints of the system, will be allowed a chance at a position of political power.

Allow me to say fuck Microsoft with a rusty chain saw sideways. Take their executives, strap them down and put their heads in cages with sand fleas.

The hard drive on my good HP laptop crapped out, dead as fucking door nail. Completely fubared. So, I get a new one. Now I have to reinstall Windows and everything else. I get it started, and boot a Win10 20H1 install USB stick.

Sometime since the last time I did a full install, they've removed the option to use a local account. They were making it harder and harder to "escape" from a Microsoft online account and now it's not there. Only way to do it is not to connect to the internet during install. Tell it you "Have no internet".

But I'd already attempted to create an account, and it wouldn't let me do that with the same name, so I just had to say fuck it, reboot the setup again, and wipe the hard drive to start afresh.

Excellent local cheese for those who condemn themselves to be vegetarians.

Fuck Microsoft even more. Skull fuck 'em with that rusty chain saw.

The HP laptop of course was originally an OEM install, Windows 10 Home. I had upgraded to Pro. Home is a disabled version of course. Well, during the setup, I wondered where the option on what to install, Home or Pro (and sub-variations) was. Well, because there is an OEM key burned in the BIOS somewhere, it went straight to Home.

I was thinking for a minute that MS had somehow forgotten the upgrade to Pro and would force me to pay another $99. But luckily, I figured out how to make it remember and switch itself to Pro. The digital license is still there, I just had to go to the Store, log in, and voila! it knew there was a Pro license with the machine's ID.

Posted by: Igotnothing at November 05, 2021 02:20 AM (xf2hT)

897 Ah, the 70s... high school days!

Didn't know any guys with those lousy haircuts, though. Mostly they either didn't cut their hair at all, or had the typical 60s-style clean cut. (hippies vs. squares?) Beards were right out. Dress codes, donchaknow...

I had a modified mullet-- for ladies it was called a "bi-level"-- feathered bangs, layered sides, long in the back.

Levis made low-rise jeans (in fashion colors!) back then, too! Except it was termed: "hip-hugger" Had a cool pair of pink, double front-zippered jeans and one pale yellow pair with 2 rows of gold studs down the sides. H.I.S. brand overalls were stylish then, too. Bleached, of course!

Those all disappeared over the years, but I do still have 2 pair of Levi super-bell cords: one burgundy-, one rust-colored. Far out!

919 I live in the NJ district that elected the truck driver over the longtime Dem hack senator. (Voted for Durr, the truck driver). I've seen some commentary that his election proves that the system isn't rigged. I say that if the incumbent Sweeney has any inkling that he could lose, he would have prevented it. Going forward, the machine will make sure that this never happens again.
