Girl: feminists in social services enabled the suicide+murder of my younger sisters by our mother

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 21 hours ago
One week ago, James Younger's reproductive organs and his dignity were threatened when a Dallas jury voted 11-to-1 to allow the non-biological mother of the 7-year-old boy (who has an identical twin brother, Judy) to eliminate the biological father Jeffrey Younger from the boy's life and continue with the "transition" of James into "Luna", a girl. The woman's plan was that aside from the "social transition" that was already ongoing, the hormonal castration would start at age of 11.5. A video showing a 3-year-old James makes it clear that the idea that "he was a girl" was imposed on ... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* Here's the President Of The United States Of America, "the leader of the 'free' world," the "dear leader" and cherished icon of the Republican Party, the servant of Putin and the traitor to his country. The picture for tonight's meme was taken at a recent get together with other world leaders and as you can see, Trump did a fine job of representing the intelligence of the American voter. While doing so, he very ably indicated how he would fare if he was to take an IQ test. Not to worry, he says he's very smart. Not only that, his supporters believe him. He even actually ... more »

In 1968, the USS Pueblo Incident Almost Caused a Second Korean War

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Asia* [image: Reuters] A close call. *Key point:* North Korean aggression and horrible treatment of American POWs could have led to a massive retaliation. A U.S. Army light freighter launched during World War II, the fifty-four-meter-long *Pueblo *had been recommissioned by the Navy in 1966s to serve as an “environmental research ship,” with two civilian oceanographers on board. This was a flimsy cover for the truth: the *Pueblo* was a spy ship, charged with intercepting and recording wireless transmissions and monitoring electronic emissions. Period... more »

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * A cheaper alternative to nuclear propulsion. *Key point: *Diesel-electric submarines have become cheaper, efficient killers One of the most crucial improvements in submarines of the postwar era is the air independent propulsion (AIP) system.
