On "Professor" Arday:

He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.
Also: Ukranian drones have ~~destroyed~~ damaged [CBD] over 147 Russian warships and shadow fleet oil tankers in the Black Sea over the past ten days.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.

"We know that they are there. We know that they are in Lebanon, working closely with Hezbollah. We know that they are in the region," he said.

What!! Al Qaeda working within a secular, Bathist gov't? Thats just crazy talk. Damn right wingers.

There was that incident maybe 6 weeks ago where three Hamas honchos were kidnapped right off the street and held for a while...

AQ probably sees Gaza as a safe haven, and the PA would want no part of that as it would invite a bunch of USN seals sneaking and peeping around.

I'm sure the CIA has answers to such questions. They know everything RIIIIIIGHT. The C.I.A. is only good at political smear campaigns. It started in the late 1970's andearly 1980' swhenthe C.I.A. went after General Westmoreland in an effort to rehabilitate the C.I.A. by blaming the Vietnam War build up on Westmoreland (they argued that Westmoreland lied to President Johnson about what was actually going on in Vietnam). They are at it agains with Bush--He lied and the C.I.A. is without fault or blemish, or so the C.I.A. political operatives claim. The only thing the C.I.A. really gets right is covering their ass. And oh yes, making millions of dollars out their smear campaign efforts (Richard Clark got $6 million for his "nonfiction" book--more money than he earned in all of his 30 years working at the C.I.A.--what a great crook).

My heart went out to the families who were thrown out of their homes in the "disengagement," but I knew what Sharon was doing. It is a variation of the honeypot trap strategy that the Bush administration has done in Iraq. Gaza can now go from "peaceful Palestinian settlement" to anti-terrorist free fire zone in less than a minute. I just wonder how the PA (and the sympathetic Labor Party) couldn't see their segregation strategy being used against them.
