Tensions between the two rivals, Temujin and Jamukha, reached their first peak at the Battle of Dalan Balzhut – where Temujin was decisively defeated by Jamukha’s numerically superior forces. This led to the reformation of Temujin’s Mongol army. Overhauling his military structure by introducing the decimal system and removing tribal affiliation within their ranks. This enabled him to tactically defeat Jamukha’s army later in the Battle of the Thirteen Sides. And eventually conquering 12 million square miles.

Bullet Points:
** When Dune meets Star Wars (Netflix Production)
** Nothing to See Here – The media’s desire to “move on” from the scandal is reaching an almost frantic level, as millions in foreign payments and dozens of corporate shell companies are revealed, and incriminating emails are released.
** Just LL’s Opinion: “Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Aryan brown, For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles, and he weareth the Christian down; And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased, And the epitaph drear: “A fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.” – Kipling A piece by BRM caused me to reflect on this. So much grief would be averted if more military professionals not only read Kiping but took it to heart.
** (Breitbart) Pedo Joe’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is sending another round of millions in American taxpayer money to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and mostly sanctuary cities for facilitating illegal immigration throughout the United States.
On Monday, Mayorkas announced that the DHS, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), would give 53 NGOs and cities more than $77 million in federal grants for their help in absorbing border crossers and illegal aliens released into their communities.
The recipients include NGOs like Catholic Charities, United Way, Mission: Border Hope, and Louisiana Advocates for Immigrants in Detention, among others, which rely heavily on illegal immigration to circulate funding.

Yes, indeed.
Might need me some Mongolian Hu this morning to take on the day after reading that the so-called DHS SEC POS (another unconstitutional department being used as a sword against We The People) is now “giving” large sums of money – through another mostly useless Gov’t Shop – to their preferred (aka bought) entities with zero authority to do so…while offering the “that’s the limit excuse” to Maui residents at $700 each. Bums.
Last week heard The Deranged Scold, Tarlov, adamantly defend the $700 payout right after saying the $20million to the Biden Crime Syndicate wasn’t true. She’s lucky I wasn’t sitting there, would have verbally flayed that tortured-logic shill who was obviously held up to a mirror everyday as a baby and told about her perfection (maybe that’s the causal factor between rational thinking people and Lefties).
Love the lines of that first “ID the aircraft” photo…seeing that in the rear view would afford a certain respect. Then there’s Snoopy…a man needs something cool to hold onto, and Snoopy is very cool.
I received a “Snoopy Award” at Boeing for coming up with some clever fixes on gear when we were in the middle of nowhere.
Okay, that is very cool…did it look like this:

Nope, it wasn’t that nice. It was a framed certificate.
The U.S. sends money to a corrupt country for adding to politician’s slush funds, illegal aliens suck up public funds, inflation eats up buying power, and all this philanthropy guarantees my fixed income becomes a little more worthless every day. I’m thinking a less polite society would have made some violent changes a long time ago.
Whilst the former is a feature, not a defect, the latter is most decidedly a featureless defect.
I think people in the 1870s were very polite; then again, everyone? wore a gun.
Please think about the words, “…less feminized…” as a substitute.

Exactly!
Surly continues to impress. Wow, especially with the older aircraft.
Kipling’s work definitely has valuable lessons in it. As far as lessons go I think “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” takes the cake.
I am with Paul M, time for some Hu.
Most of the NGOs, I’m sure, started out with the purest intentions and then became corrupt over the years. In a just world the managing directors of NGOs that assist illegal aliens would be in jail.

The ‘1950’ TU-95 Bear/F-8 photo should perhaps be labelled 1960 as the Tu-95 first flew in 1952 and entered service in 1956 while the Crusader first flew in 1955 and entered service in 1957.
“Rebel Moon” might turn out to be a fun distraction, or it might turn out to be crap, time will tell.
I find hilarious what they think a farmer looks like, though. Later on, she apparently uses Woke Fu to punch giant soldiers around.
-Kle.
One could easily replace the Bear with a Buff.
Kipling had first hand knowledge. Those at the top making the decisions don’t, and often don’t care. Other priorities.
Ah yes, Kipling… sigh… I have a pic from the mid-80s of ‘us’ playing with a Bear F. and yes, some things NEVER change, other than the crews…
