California losing battle with FloridaRed States: For some idiotic reason, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) decided it was a good idea to burn money by making ads encouraging Floridians to move to California because the Sunshine State’s Gov.

This is despite the fact that people are leaving California in droves, opting for states like Texas and Florida where the cost of living is cheaper and freedom is on the march.

This year there are at least 44 bills or new laws in 17 conservative-led states penalizing such company policies, compared with roughly a dozen such measures in 2021, according to a Reuters analysis of state legislative agendas, public documents and statements.

Doofus Of The Day #1,094Today's award goes to the Russian military commander(s) in Ukraine who decided to test anti-air-raid smokescreens defending the bridge over the Kerch Strait to Crimea . . . without, it seems, thinking of possible consequences.

On July 1, a smokescreen test was also carried out by Russian forces, with footage of the exercise having been captured by locals attempting to cross the bridge while the aerosol was being dispersed ... the smoke quickly enve... read more

The ListDead HMMWV Ukrainian HMMWV lost in Severodonetsk I’m not a fan of the Humvee. It’s not the vehicle, they’re fine. It’s in how they are used.

In Iraq, for EFP’s that cut through […] The post The List appeared first on Virtual Mirage. read more

The Peace of God
This is one of those wow stories out of history in which something completely new was attempted and even made to work. It literally allowed the rise of free cities which came after able to stand shoulder to shoulder with warlords. The universal way of war was to loot and spare nothing. That was the primary weakness of the romans and why their cities could not hold off the barbarians. More astounding is that this was a church led revolution top to bottom that was never anticipated. It is now no surprise that the West arose out of this instead of some imperial solution and the d... read more

Scientists say they've solved a 700-year-old mystery: Where and when Black Death began
Way more detail leading to a likely zone of origination. We really got unlucky. This could have stayed local and likely died out locally. It did not of course and we have a stupendous kill rate. Which may not be that correct though as we should know by now. Communities got whacked, but running for the country side saved far more than we know. *Scientists say they've solved a 700-year-old mystery: Where and when Black Death began* *June 30, 20223:50 PM ET* *MAX BARNHART* https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/06/30/1106858954/scientists-say-theyve-solved-a-700-year-ol... read more

‘More than a song’: the enduring power of Leonard Cohen’s HallelujahThe public forgets that Cohen was a master poet trained in the ouevre of English literature who ceretainly aspired to create immortal art. That training was transformed when he encountered Garcia Lorca, likely in translation. His product became accessible and then was folded into music to create the body of work we know. It is fitting that more and more is been done to showcase his talent, even after his passing. This is the immortal gift of a great artist. *‘More than a song’: the enduring power of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah* *In a new documentary, fans and experts explore... read more

The idea that the drought which has drained lake Mead is an effect of global warming is childishly ignorant. Warming would cause more evaporation off the ocean which would come down as more rain. The lake would more likely be full if global warming were real.And his claim that temperatures in Norway are unprecedently high is completely a-historical. Norway has been even warmer in the not too distant past. Climate historian Tony Heller dr... read more
