The Pentagon is pressing ahead with new tech and new tactics in 2024, many inspired by the conflicts in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and elsewhere. It's also working hard to boost production of existing weapons and figure out just how it would wage a major conflict in the Pacific. But progress has been hindered by the budgetary chaos in Congress, where debate is just beginning on next year's spending plan.

Chinonso, 34, said with Anthony by her side at their home in Rieti, north of Rome. In Nigeria, “if you’re lucky you end up prison. If you’re not lucky, they kill you,” she said.
   

I guess they haven't been keeping track of things in Eurabia.  It won't be long and they won't have to worry about prisons.  They'll be flying from roof tops.  Where do they go next?  Right here which will set up a showdown between freedom and Islam for the world.

Ciao Pookie, thanks for the toons!

Mornin' & my pleasure, Jimino!

 As countries tighten anti-gay laws, more and more LGBTQ+ migrants seek safety and asylum in Europe

RIETI, Italy (AP) — Ella Anthony knew it was time to leave her native Nigeria when she escaped an abusive, forced marriage only to face angry relatives who threatened to turn her in to police because she was gay.

Since Nigeria criminalizes same-sex relationships, Anthony fled a possible prison term and headed with her partner to Libya in 2014 and then Italy, where they both won asylum. Their claim? That they had a well-founded fear of anti-LGBTQ+ persecution back home.

While many of the hundreds of thousands of migrants who arrive in Italy from Africa and the Mideast are escaping war, conflict and poverty, an increasing number are fleeing possible prison terms and death sentences in their home countries because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, advocates say.
 
And despite huge obstacles to win asylum on LGBTQ+ grounds, Anthony and her partner, Doris Ezuruike Chinonso. are proof that it can be done, even if the challenges remain significant for so-called “rainbow refugees” like them.

“Certainly life here in Italy isn’t 100% what we want. But let’s say it’s 80% better than in my country,” Chinonso, 34, said with Anthony by her side at their home in Rieti, north of Rome. In Nigeria, “if you’re lucky you end up prison. If you’re not lucky, they kill you,” she said.

I've been a pseudo-met for close to 50 years, and I always refer to one example of who was among the best of all at climatology......

Dr. William Gray of Colorada State was renown for his devekopment of tools for tropical weather predicition at the macro level.  He also probably knew more of how the atmosphere, weather patterns, and how other earth science impacted weather on earth than anyone else. 

His periodic forecasts were the benchmark of what was expected each hurricane season.  But, when he shunned the climate scam, the MSM and complicit scammers shunned him back into oblivion.

p.s.

Just saw that Dr. Gray died a month ago, today.  The fact that someone that famous died almost anonymously, speaks volumes.
