Modern SSKs are far better than WW2-vintage Balao or Tench class (or earlier) boats, but they still need to recharge batteries, and they still need to refuel vastly more often than an SSN or SSBN. SSKs are probably OK if your area of concern is just the Baltic, Black, or, maybe, North and Mediterranean Seas. But if your area of concern is the Atlantic Ocean or all the world's oceans, SSKs aren't up to snuff.

The FBI has issued an alert warning that Pride events in the US in June may be targeted by ISIS and other foreign terrorist organizations.


"Foreign terrorist organizations or supporters may seek to exploit increased gatherings associated with the upcoming June 2024 Pride Month," the alert, issued by the FBI and DHS, warned.


The warning explained foreign terrorist organizations' (FTOs) efforts to "commit or inspire violence against holiday celebrations, including Pride celebrations or LGBTQIA+-related venues, are compounded by the current heightened threat environment in the United States and other Western countries."

"FTOs and their supporters have previously promoted anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and targeted LGBTQIA+ related events or venues for attacks," it added.

He also created controversy with his videos in which he claimed Medal of Honor recipient Audie Murphy was a racist for taking roles in Western films but this was not something mentioned in his counseling.

I seriously doubt that Murphy cared whether the men in his unit that he covered with the M2 on an M10 TD were Hispanic or Native American. They were his men. OTOH, I'm pretty sure that the Germans he  killed had no Hispanics or Native Americans among them.

But that's not the kind of thinking that racist idiots of any skin color would do.

Yup

Both Trump and Biden share part of the blame equally on inflation

And some still wonder why some of us refuse to vote for more of that

And for all the hate McConnell gets for not being a "true conservative", he repeatedly urged smaller checks and fewer benefits throughout Covid, which is exactly what a conservative Republican was supposed to do.  The problem is that because it was Trump pushing for it, stopping it was almost impossible.  Which, incidentally, is the exact same thing many of us worry would happen in a second Trump term.

A 14-year-old boy was shot dead while painting over gang graffiti in a California park — with his horrified family learning about it through social media.

Benny Gutierrez was with several friends painting over the graffiti in El Dorado Park on Monday night when several shots were fired from a car in the parking lot, officials told KTLA.

The 14-year-old was hit once and pronounced dead at the scene — with his family only finding out six hours later through social media, they told the local outlet.

“My heart dropped because that’s my baby,” Benny’s older sister, Crysta Gutierrez, told KTLA. “I just couldn’t believe it because this pain is so unbearable.”
