    Navy: UFO files could cause "grave damage" to national security if released

    Another angle: If this were another countries spy plane, and we report when/where and with what, but admit we couldn't track it, it gives that other country valuable data as to the effectiveness of their spy plane. As in they get actual feedback that with current technology, the US military...

    This is nuts!

    My wife let me know the mini-van was running sluggish. Wouldn't accelerate very well. When I started poking around under the hood, I found the air filter housing intake side stuffed to the brim with dry cat food. About a small bags worth. The mouse would grab food, go into the car, into the 2-3...

    House set to begin formal impeachment hearings

    trump will be neither impeached or removed from office over this. The dems "jumped the shark"... again. And it will come back to hurt them. I predict this story will go away a lot quicker than the russia conspiracy story.

    Question Any reviews or benchmarks for non-k i7-9700 and i9-9900?

    As the title states. They are out there, but so far I've not seen anything on where they rank from the K cousins.

    On a slightly more happy note: Grandmother helps prevent mass shooting

    A copy cat killer shutdown. Good. It's a shame the Dayton killer didn't have someone like this grandma in his life.

    Republicans Outline the True Causes of Mass Shootings in Our Country

    This^^^^. I would actually blame this before a lot of other things. One of the elephants in the room that doesn't get a lot of coverage is the influence of media. Both social and regular news coverage. It really struck me a few years ago when I saw a detailed, HD colored photo of the...

    #MoscowMitch is actually in ..... Moscow?

    It would be very stupid for any politician to do that. About as bad as putting an unsecured email server with classified information in your basement. And if it is true, the consequences should be severe. It would also be very stupid for the email server company to advertise who there clients...

    YAMST El Paso Wall Mart

    This is actually very misleading. It makes for great political theater, but isn't true. Obama had an executive order (EO) on his desk for awhile to expand the list, and lower the requirements, for labeling people dangerously mentally ill. It sat on his desk until AFTER the election. And...

    Another Shooting: Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California

    I understand the purpose of the study (CT vs synthetic-CT), and appreciate the challenges to create an appropriate synthetic model to base their analysis, in order to estimate a prediction of what might have happened if the law wasn't in place. In CT. But their "nationwide trend" (never...

    Another Mass shooting. This time in Dayton Ohio. One day after the El Paso massacre

    The gun companies and magazines did start using the term in the 1980's. But it was gun control that politicised the description. From the VIolence POlicy Center in 1988, when the idea of "ban assault weapons" was hatched: "Handgun restriction is simply not viewed as a priority. Assault weapons...

    Another Mass shooting. This time in Dayton Ohio. One day after the El Paso massacre

    Actually, they are generally the weapon of choice that the news media loves to cover. When criminologists actually report on what weapons were used, it breaks down about 50% were handguns, 25% rifles, and 25% shotguns. When you overlay the political definitions used to describe "assault...

    CNN Don Lemon could not get pastor to bash Trump, so he attacks pastor’s character

    Lemon is every bit as nasty as what he accuses others of.

    We all suspected it was coming. Climate. Agriculture.

    Wait till people become 'woke' about continental drift!

    Another Mass shooting. This time in Dayton Ohio. One day after the El Paso massacre

    They took that approach in the UK. Going so far as to stigmatize the desire to own a firearm as being somehow a bad person and arresting veterans for having disabled war trophies (guns with internals removed or welded into a blob. Barrels plugged, etc) as if they were murderers. Other...
