Wow, Katie Perry is having a rough couple of years: like her career, her engagement to Orlando Bloom is now over
The Trump Curse strikes again. She went from an apolitical ditz to a Hillary Clinton Crusader in 2016 and her career bottomed out like Hillary Clinton's blood sugar level after a weekend of vodka and self-pity. The Trump Curse even follows you into space, yo. Or at least into the lower upper atmosphere.

On June 27, 2024, the American people finally saw the full extent of Joe Biden's Childhood Stutter.

One year ago, Biden bravely and selflessly re-ignited his Childhood Stutter at a debate so that America could have Trump again as President

Wandering around incomplete
Waiting so long

Megyn Kelly runs the tape of CNN's new superstar propaganist Natasha Betrand constantly pushing fake "dossier" stories and even "fantasizing" fictional dreams of what more stories may be coming... and of course she was also the go-to stenographer for Biden's "51 intelligence officers" false planted story

Kari Lake, just when I think you couldn't get any dumber, you pull a stunt like this, and totally redeem yourself!!!
I think the Democrat is arguing that the political appointees should exercise no control over their rabidly communist VOA employees. This is what they're always arguing -- they stock the bureaucracy with literal communists and then claim that the voters should have no control over these unfirable radicals. Lake offers a for-instance that will appeal to this Democrat of allegedly-suspect bedroom guests.

Senator Rounds invites Trump to "an appreciation event like you've never seen" at the Sturgis Bike Rally

A post-action report from Iraq describes the effect of the new weapon: "One unit disintegrated a large one-storey masonry type building with one round from 100 meters. They were extremely impressed." Elsewhere it is described by one Marine as "an awesome piece of ordnance." It proved highly effective in the battle for Fallujah. This from the Marine Corps Gazette, July edition: "SMAW gunners became expert at determining which wall to shoot to cause the roof to collapse and crush the insurgents fortified inside interior rooms." They're calling it an "NE" weapon, for "Novel Explosive." I do so enjoy these dry euphemisms the Pentagon employs. They used to call a-bombs "Special Weapons" or "Specials."

Posted by: Defense Tech's Copyright Lawyer on November 18, 2005 01:05 PM Yeah, you got to play in the majors to get access to the really cool stuff, but man-portable thermobarics? That's just too cool. I remember the story going around in GWI when some SAS boys working behind the lines thought the Yanks had gone nuts and started nuking Iraqi positions. We were just using Daisy Cutters to try and clear mine fields. Now we're giving on soldier the power to drop a building? Too fucking cool. Posted by: Robert Modean on November 18, 2005 01:20 PM And I enjoyed reading the liberal pants-wetting in the comments about the use of this "immoral" weapon. You ask people to care about AMERICAN lives. It is precisely because of these attitudes that people like me project our anger about the lies and actions of the US administration onto the US soldiers. Posted by: V the K on November 18, 2005 01:55 PM Ah, so it's the GOVERNMENT'S fault the liberals don't support the troops, eh? Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 18, 2005 04:16 PM I need new glasses. I read the title as "Thermo-barbaric." ;-) Posted by: Mary in LA on November 18, 2005 06:36 PM One only major flaw in this weapon that I can see is that I can't order one on Amazon.
