I love watching this....


Anti-Israel agitators at Portland State University attempted to charge at police officers and were swiftly put down.

Police officers in riot gear were sent to clear out an encampment at the university library on Thursday, leading to a confrontation between the officers and several agitators wielding makeshift shields. Video shows the moment a group of protesters running from the library and charging at officers who set up a police line.

One of the agitators crashes at full speed into an officer and is knocked to the ground. Two more police officers assist in apprehending the assailant.

The Portland Police Bureau said "several arrests" were made at the library as officers work to clear the encampment.

Dozens of protesters who appeared to be a mix of PSU students and outside agitators occupied the library on Monday night and demanded that the university divest from Israel before they would move, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

On Wednesday, Portland State University President Ann Cudd announced that the library is closed and said all unauthorized personnel found there were committing criminal trespass "and must leave immediately." The announcement came after negotiations between university officials and the anti-Israel groups broke down on Wednesday.

We're in poo. Deep poo.

What the Japanese failed to eliminate in Pearl Harbor was the maintenance and refitting spaces. By failing to do that, they enabled the US to repair ships and return them to the fray (albeit the really serious cases went back to the states).

Since then, our maintenance facilities have suffered, and now we're retiring some serious offensive capability? All that gee whiz stuff is nice, but (as I have repeatedly said), quantity has a quality of its own.

Those lost tubes were for fleet defense and offensive operations. In the days of kamikaze drones (and even kamikazes, back when) the more tubes that can be devoted to fleet defense, the fewer vessels will be lost or damaged. Without the ability to repair, without the ability to defend, we will be in serious trouble in any protracted peer to peer naval conflict. Retirement should be limited to what capabilities have been replaced, hull for hull.

In the meantime, pilots in the USAF are flying grandpa's planes....

Had a dog down the street who attacked a neighbor once, but the cops only gave the owners a warning.

Last summer, same dog got out and attacked two little girls on the sidewalk, sending one to the hospital.  Dog then saw a neighbor and her daughter coming into my house across the street, and came running up our driveway heading straight for that little girl.  I heard them screaming.

My boy Forest, a half lab/half-husky, pushed his way out the door and intercepted that dog before it got to that little girl.  Chased it across the street, but was hit by a car and flung into the air.  Not the driver's fault because those dogs were moving fast.  He was 12 years old, and the best dog I ever had.

A few days later the little girl and her sister came over to our house with flowers and sympathy card for our boy, and said he was their hero.

So yeah, I have zero problems with Noem not giving that dog a second chance.

You made me cry..Mag.

None of the usual factors (like who won 'bellweather' states) overcame the FRAUD.

It is virtually guaranteed that this time the Fraud will be even more intense and surgically precise to capture those races the Communists want to win.

Failing that, there will be vicious and widespread rioting, likely conducted by Soros funded illegals and others who couldn't tell you what the 'cause' is, (because it's always about The Revolution!).

Enough chaos, there will be a crisis (which won't be wasted) and no election.

 Firepower crisis: The US Navy will lose 1500 missile launch tubes in the next few years
Story by David Axe • 3h •


The US Navy is already smaller than China’s by count of ships. But that’s not a valid way to measure naval power: it makes more sense to look at missile firepower. Unfortunately that’s not a happy story either.

The end is in sight for the US Navy’s long-serving Ticonderoga-class cruisers, icons of the US fleet since the 1980s. A new plan anticipates that the last of the 12 active cruisers – remaining from 27 built between 1980 and 1994 – will decommission in 2027.

Warships come and go, and the 567-foot Ticonderogas with their distinctive blocky superstructures were never going to last forever. But losing the cruisers is especially painful for the US fleet as it struggles to keep pace with the fast-growing Chinese one.
