Bullet Points
** CDR Sal – The PRC is prepping the Taiwanese battlespace.
** U.S. spies caught Russian intelligence officers boasting that they had convinced the oil-rich United Arab Emirates “to work together against US and UK intelligence agencies,” according to a purported American document posted online as part of a major U.S. intelligence breach.
** Ice, ice, baby!
** A black Florida State University professor whose research focused on race in the criminal justice system abruptly left his post in the wake of years-long allegations of academic fraud.
** “A new report published by the Institute for Energy Research is the latest in a series of warnings that President Joe Biden’s green energy policies put America’s national security in “real jeopardy.”
The report published last week argues Biden’s push to the U.S. away from fossil fuels and toward so-called renewable energy makes the country “far more dependent” on imports from China than it’s ever been on the Middle East for oil imports.
America’s dependence is in large part the result of China having much of the rare earth metals and other mined elements such as cobalt and lithium
“Therein lies the danger,” the report reads. “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) controls almost the entire global supply chain.”
In addition, the report states, the People’s Republic of China not only has a monopoly on the mineral elements Biden wants, but the Communist country also “either directly owns or in some way controls” the majority of the mines that produce the elements.”
** Where modern slavery is most prevalent, according to the Walk Free Foundation.

From the Days of Fighting Sail
Salt eel for supper and Claws for breakfast
Imagine you are on board and you accidentally say something not-so-nice to an officer. It is possible that the officer will ignore what you said. But then it is quite possible that the bosun will come up to you and whisper to you very gently. “You shall have salt eel for supper”. And that’s not good for you, because now they say that you will be whipped with a rope wrapped in eel skin during the afternoon. If your verbal outburst was a bit bigger, then it was “Claws for breakfast” for you. You will have a very intimate meeting with the cat o’nine tails in the morning – and believe me it will not be a pleasant meeting. So watch your mouth.
Identify the Tank:
Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M)
That was fast.
Something this AI could respond to quickly. The knowledge level of your readership is truly impressive.
Where has the Biden crime family gotten more money from, the oil people or China?
Or kickbacks from Ukraine?
I don’t know.
Rubber bullets. I don’t even know where to buy rubber bullets. Could be because I have never, ever sought them out.
Commander Salamander is always worth a read.
Ice age graphic. Even though I know that global warming will be much better overall for humanity than global cooling the graphic kind of makes me long for a little glaciation.
Interstate migration. If you travel in northern Idaho near Sandpoint ID or along Flathead lake in Montana you sure do see a bunch of California license plates. Wish they would realize that their voting habits were a good part of the cause of why they wanted to leave.
Academic Fraud- No surprise…most of them operating in such places are complete frauds.
That has been my experience with all grievance studies programs.
Because none of these “studies” could stand the light of day. An extreme case of Garbage In = Garbage Out.
The tranny grievances, the race-baiting studies, etc. don’t need any sort of foundation in fact. As often as not the statistics are fabricated.
We are seeing the result of idiotic feel-good symbolic curriculum that contains zero substance…young people hired at high salaries to do nothing all day. Twitter is one operation that needed 1/3 of the staff they had. These companies are merely large college dorm room parties with the one serious student in the corner bunk trying to actually study while the disruptive remainder have a toke or swig talking about “equity”.
The grant-funding and government-funding models of research capital utterly destroyed scientific objectivity.
Which was the point, I suppose.

I am not sure I trust the State Population Changes you have there. My next door neighbor has his daughters family living with him. She is a stay at home mom and her husband is a pilot for Delta based out LaGuardia. They are renting out their Brownstone in NYC. They have been here since the breakout of Covid and still have their NY car tags.
I see CA, CO, TX, MA, NY, and NJ car tags daily. Most are expired. GA charges a ridiculously high ad valorem tax for people transferring a vehicle into GA so many of those that migrate here do not register their car or get a GA driver license. They get around this when the trade their cars in for newer cars.
My 73 year old brother, a still practicing large animal veterinarian, calls Phd’s
“piled higher and deeper!”
Many appear to be educated well beyond their intelligence.
They hand out doctorates in grievance studies like rolls of toilet paper. Corporations now hire them as HR experts. Everyone needs tranny or a radical antifa member on staff these days.
Tranny, tyranny, what’s the dif?
On the merits, or lack thereof, of flogging:

Was thinking this would have been from The Passion (one only needs to se that scene once to understand, like a gulp drink of sea water)…but clicked anyway.
“Men must be governed” is so spot on and much needed now (“spare the rod, and all that). Let one “slip up of the rules” occur in the ranks without consequence or note, then you have what we are witnessing now; tyranny on steroids with no consequence, in fact, arrogance (eg. Bragg suing Jim Jordan).
Well done.
Pour Encourager les Autres – Voltaire, referring to the execution of a Brit admiral, I forget who and for what reason.
What’s the warning we can use to get the “they” to listen, especially when they have deemed themselves emperor?
All it takes is a leader men will trust who says it’s time.
Maybe a few F15 drivers will join us.
Slavery map looks reasonably accurate.
I wonder if they’re counting the Cartel / Triad / etc. US people-smuggling slaves, though?
I’d like to see a map by US city.
