China’s ‘Breathtaking’ Pace in Military Modernization Poses Serious Threat to US, Admiral Says

Navy Admiral Charles Richard, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons, on Thursday gave a dire warning about China’s rapidly increasing military capability.

“We are witnessing a strategic breakout by China. The explosive growth and modernization of its nuclear and conventional forces can only be what I describe as breathtaking,” Richard said. “Business as usual will not work.

Joe and Hunter will handle this no problem.

9/11 museum’s decision to scrap a 20th anniversary memorial is a disgrace

As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack looms, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is crying poverty for the second year in a row. This time, it says it can’t afford to mount special exhibitions planned to mark the two-decade milestone.

In 2020, the twin-beam “Tribute in Light” was canceled only to win a last-minute reprieve after soon-to-be-ex Gov. Cuomo pitched in state resources. But no such bailout appears in the offing this time. 

They probably don’t want to draw attention to Biden’s Afghan Bug Out.

Iranian Mullahs’ Deadly War at Sea, Biden Administration Silent

The Iranian regime has ratcheted up its assaults at sea while the Biden administration and the European Union continue pressing to revive the disastrous Obama nuclear deal and lift sanctions against the ruling mullahs.

On July 30, 2021, the oil tanker MV Mercer Street was attacked by an armed drone 280km from the port of Al-Daqam in the Sea of Oman. Two crew members, one British and one Romanian, were killed in the attack. The ship is Japanese-owned and Liberian-flagged, and is managed by Zodiac Maritime, a British company that is one of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s businesses.

UP AGAINST THE WALL: California Congressional Candidate Says Anti-Vaxxers Should Be Shot

Steve Cox is a candidate for Congress in California’s 39th Congressional District, and is running as an independent despite sounding like just another far-Left aspiring member of the Squad: He decries the power of lobbyists over politicians from both parties and has made breaking their power the focus of his campaign, while agreeing that there are other issues that “must be fixed, like healthcare, climate change, immigration reform, ending these endless wars, etc.” The “ending the endless wars” bit is not bad, actually, but it’s clear that Cox is another far-Left candidate in a state that is full of them, and as he is a white male with no obvious minority background, his campaign isn’t exactly catching fire: He has as of this writing raised just $2,056 toward his $10,000 goal on a CrowdPac page. But on Monday, Cox gave his campaign a shot in the arm, so to speak, with a novel idea of how to treat opponents of the covid vaccine: shoot them.

It was a monitor issue!

I have a snazzy new BenQ 27″ that has what may be the best monitor stand I have ever had the pleasure of using. This was on sale for 249.00 bucks, 150 off they say. Nice picture.

Thank God it wasn’t the graphics card. The sales rep said they can’t get cards, or if they do it is one at a time and immediately sold.

If nothing else this has taught me to gear up with some back up equipment.

Thank you all for your help!

Can Americans pull the plug on petrol-powered cars?

US President Joe Biden wants Americans to switch to electric vehicles. Carmakers are on board – but are consumers willing to pull the plug on petrol?

Tom Beckett, a former truck and bus driver, says he’s driven at least two million miles in his lifetime, and he is all for burning less gasoline to protect the environment.

But like many Americans, he is “just not ready” to buy a low-emission electric car because of so-called range anxiety – the fear he won’t be able to go far enough on a single charge.

Cons at 28.4 says something.
