As we now hear about the US LUCAS drone/loitering ammunition, which has been based on the Iranian Shahed, I will bring a thread over from Twitter I did on the German DAR - which is linked to the Israeli Harop - which is again linked to the Shahed.

Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less

โ€œThe president approved ahead of time you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?โ€ Republican Senator John Kennedy asked Noem during Tuesdayโ€™s hearing.
โ€œYes sir, we went through the legal processesโ€“โ€ Noem said.
โ€œDid the president know you were gonna do this?โ€ Kennedy interjected.
Noem answered again in the affirmative multiple times. โ€œIโ€™m not saying youโ€™re not telling the truth. Itโ€™s just hard for me to believe, knowing the president, as I do, that you said, โ€˜Mr. President, hereโ€™s some ads Iโ€™ve cut, and Iโ€™m going to spend $220 million running them,โ€™ that he would have agreed to that,โ€ Kennedy said. โ€œI donโ€™t think Russ Voughtโ€ at the Office of Management and Budget โ€œwould have agreed to that,โ€ he added.
These frustrations have prompted the president to privately express his openness to replacing her, according to a person familiar with the matter. One name he has begun floating this week as a potential replacement: Oklahomaโ€™s junior U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin.

Of all the bad looks from this week's hearings with Kristi Noem, it is not that she's NOT deporting the worst of the worst, that her fuck bunny signs contracts, OR that she has tanked his polling on most popular issue. It's that she claims he knew of her corrupt propaganda contract.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.

We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.

The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

BREAKING: Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We donโ€™t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.
Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out. The American people donโ€™t want this war.

"Hands down one of the best albums ever made. The first three or four songs might as well be like a street fighter combo round, because it doesnโ€™t break. It feels like one big orchestral piece, like youโ€™re watching a play."

pero todos los problemas que le asignan a la sociedad espaรตla, imaginarios o reales, son problemas del 1er mundo comparado con lo que te encuentras a la que andas 4 pasos.

Pero es que ademรกs, como alguien que lleva ya 15 aรฑos viviendo en otro sitio, me fascina la autoflagelaciรณn en Espaรฑa alimentada por una industria mediatica publico-privada. La sanidad en Espaรฑa es percebida peor que hace 20 aรฑos, pero sigue siendo mejor que el resto. El gran drama es la vivienda
