9 Watched Oppenheimer. Was okay. It was a Commie whitewash, but not as much of a Commie whitewash as I expected. I like nuclear physics and the history of the Manhattan Project, so it’s fun to see that stuff.

For the average moviegoer it was probably pretty boring. Long-winded and most of it takes place in tense security clearance and confirmation hearings. Not super sexy.

It has the usual Commie tropes: McCarthyism was a bunch of knuckle-dragging atavists using Cold War fears to persecute the true patriots: free-thinking liberal intellectuals and leftists whose only crime might have been caring too much and possibly giving nuclear secrets to our sworn enemies, but mostly caring too much.

Edward Teller, who was ultra-based, is presented as a secondary villain. The primary villain is a man who, according to the slant of the movie, had a personal vendetta against Oppie which led to his security clearance being revoked.

Never asked is “Was it right, regardless of the antagonist’s purported reason?” Nobody is owed a security clearance, not even a celebrity scientist with a great history of achievement. The movie hopes you will not notice this sleight-of-hand.

That was what bothered me about the movie Lord of War. They presumed being a gun runner was bad without spending really any time pointing it out. The only attempt to argue that its bad to sell weapons wholesale was an African war of some sort. But... the Hutus didn't need guns to murder hundreds of thousands of Tutsis in Rwanda. Guns are useful but not the ONLY tool.

They made him seem really clever and effective, but not particularly evil or bad. Which was a huge missed opportunity in the film.

I am pleased to announce that the Governor and former Congresswoman from South Dakota, Kristi Noem, will be appointed to serve as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Kristi has been very strong on Border Security. She was the first Governor to send National Guard Soldiers to help Texas fight the Biden Border Crisis, and they were sent a total of eight times. She will work closely with "Border Czar" Tom Homan to secure the Border, and will guarantee that our American Homeland is secure from our adversaries…

89 The Manhattan Project used information gleaned from captured penguins, who had been involved with heavy water research in Norway, to create the first atomic bomb.

First codenamed "The Penguin Of Doom", before being renamed "Little Boy" by higher ups who wished to keep the Nazi Penguin connection quiet, the invaluable information cut development time, according to Oppenheimer, "by decades".

Nah, he was father of the H-bomb, way more cool.

Samuel Cohen was father of the neutron bomb concept, although there’s really no such thing. All low-yield atomic bombs are technically neutron bombs, but they still create a lot of explosive destruction, so not the way they’re portrayed in movies and TV.

NEW: Kamala Harris' campaign dished out $500k to Al Sharpton’s nonprofit just weeks before her big interview with him.

So... was the Harris campaign just one big money laundering scheme?

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the Harris campaign sent one $250k payment on September 5 and then another $250k payment on October 1.

On October 3, Sharpton shared a video of Harris wishing him a happy birthday.

About two weeks later on October 20, Sharpton had an interview with Kamala Harris where he praised her for her "extraordinary historic campaign."

He also blasted Trump for being "hostile and erratic."

115 The thing about the celebrity endorsement bs conversation that these idiots seem to forget is Trump IS a celebrity. So it's hard to judge how this would have gone over against an unknown.

The media OTOH *must* come to grips with their own irrelevance and they'd rather discuss "celebrities" as if that was the only strategy by the campaign. As if the news and magazine push wasn't more than half of it.

1. Inflation: not unemployment, the stock market or GDP; the cost of a hamburger and fries being 2-3x the price it was four years ago is what matters.

2. Peak Wokeness: as demonstrated by this advertisement, which people are claiming was the most effective of the cycle (and that has $100m+ in ad spend behind it) [andy: the tranny one run nationally throughout the World Series for example]

Custer was a Major General of Volunteers by 1865, with substantive rank in the Regular Army as Captain. With the end of the war, the Volunteer rank lapsed, leaving him as a captain, which happened with lots of other officers. MacArthur's appointment was a different thing, which I'm too lazy to go look up right at the moment.

Happened to a lot of people in the Civil War, they got promoted, then when the war was over they folded up the military and lots of people lost their jobs. Later when he joined the cavalry, they gave him a position as a colonel, the best he could do.

His history shows that Custer was actually a great leader and capable of brilliant military action but a bit too willing to take risks and um, eventually that caught up with him. Its so odd, he was portrayed as a great man and hero until around 1950 then suddenly he turned into a vain, moronic failure. The truth probably is some of both.

Used to be and still may that you assumed the rank of the position and returned to your substantive rank on relinquishing it. So you might occupy a four-star billet, but returned to two-star when the term was up.

In the British Army, it would be an appointment for a senior colonel. In the U.S. Army, AFAIK, it's always been a substantive, one-star rank. It certainly was by the time of the Civil War.

America PAC will likely work to get DA's elected across America, and cities desperately need this so that people are protected and safe from crime in cities.

Elon:
"The America PAC is kind of the Anti-Soros PAC. Something has got to be done about it! I don't know what's up with that guy but honestly, putting DA's... it is like the JOKER is in charge.

"Like, electing DA's that don't prosecute crime. Insane. It is like literally Batman and Dark Knight.

353 Taking on the cartels doesn't necessarily mean invading Mexico. My take on it (only read it here, not anywhere else) is that he means to destroy the cartels power/influence in the US. There are plenty of things we can do in the US to fight the cartels.

Obviously a secure border is the first step. Then they will need very good intel as well as hacking/monitoring comms (part of intel I guess). Extrajudicial killing of them on US soil would be a good tool in the kit as well.

356 >>>We literally invaded Afghanistan with boots on the ground in order to depose the government and replace it. There is no comparison.

It’s absolutely the same. Go back and actually read the history of what happened in Afghanistan: it went from a limited targeting of the Taliban to full-blown nation-building because of outrage over humanitarian catastrophe and aggressively optimistic horseshit from military leadership that hasn’t won a war since the 1940s.

>>>Ignore the chaos that might result. Ignore the "humanitarian crisis" it might cause. Not our problem.

That’s not possible. You’re literally suggesting lobbing nukes into Mexico; do you not understand how things work in this country?

There’s no way to engage in limited strikes on the cartels without it spiraling into another losing war. That’s not how America’s security and diplomatic infrastructure function. This would be a major unforced error on Trump’s part, which would derail the rest of his Presidency.

Anyway, why do I care what cartels do to illegals and junkies? The illegals aren’t even supposed to be here. All of the threats to my freedoms and interests are 100% domestic. Nuke D.C. first.

366 Now, it has been floated that he (Burgum) will serve as either Secretary of Energy or Energy Czar. Burgum was asked what the term “energy czar” means to him if he is chosen for that.

“The Secretary of Energy focuses on hydrogen and nuclear energy, all important things, but oil and gas is over in DOE, EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management. There’s a dozen agencies,” said Burgum.

Burgum said whatever was released earlier in the press about this position was trial balloons that didn’t relate to him specifically. He said he thinks it’s a reflection of ideas that have been talked about which is you can’t solve this nation’s energy problems with just one position. (BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR)

The Senate majority is a godsend come January. Pressure needs to be put on the usual suspects on the "R" side.

Read Hegseth's latest book if you have the opportunity. The last chapter is a letter to his kids (I think he has five ages 7 to 14) The letter is whether he recommends they pursue a military career based on today's standards in the service(s). It tells you quite a bit about the man and what he plans to do.

Afghanistan spiraled because of the Neo-Cons and the Military/Industrial complex. Trump has already proven he can handle a limited engagement targeted strike without it causing a war.

428 The South American issue has screaming sirens and red lights flashing. Trump having appointed Marco Rubio a 1st gen Cuban whose parents were commie Castro refugees made a strategic decision.
To put it in simplistic terms:
*Fidel Castro ruled Cuba in Rubio's lifetime
*Castro requisitioned ALL private property when Cuba was a
flourishing Island Nation
* Most vanquished/exiled prominent Cubans escaped to South Florida namely Miami.
* Cuban Militia Freedom fighters ran/run military exercises in thew Florida Everglades
* Marco Rubio's constancy were to Reagan what WV was to Kennedy...
*Marco Rubio knows South Americas political landscape..
Yes Little Marco

I think that is one of the thinks I liked the most about Trump, he wanted to make nice looking buildings, even if it cost a bit more.

431 I visited ___ur to watch them probably not talk about politics. It used to be a really funny site then they took it over with leftardism and ruined it (shock) so I hardly ever go although from what I saw last year the politics seemed to have died down somewhat since it was only an echo chamber anyway and already destroyed.

Anyway on there today was a scooby doo meme with them taking the mask off of "Inflation" and underneath discovering "Corporate Greed".

I've honestly never known anyone more impressed by fancy words than these dumbshits. That's why it's so easy to hornswaggle a leftard. Just use big words they recognize and their tiny minds go goo-goo for it.

You still haven’t answered why I should care what happens in Mexico? Those people are not American taxpayers, they’re not useful to us in any way. Their welfare is certainly not the concern of the U.S. Federal government.

They’ve been flooding my country with trash and criminals for decades. I’m perfectly happy to see Mexico punished for that, but making Mexico safe for Mexicans isn’t any concern of mine.

Anyway she was glowing. Like, pregnant glowing. And she's in her 60's. We just laughed our heads off quietly about Kamala, and Trump doing it again. I was filled with joy seeing her so happy so I just kept making her laugh about it.

At a Trump rally I watched clips of, Rubio was giving his speech in English. Then he said if the audience would forgive him he wanted to say something in Spanish because 'they never get get the translation right'. He then gave the same speech, but in Spanish. He said it sounds more 'passionate, doesn't it?'
