My Dad and his industrial and commercial sheet metal business did work at Los Alamos, Sandia Base, and White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico between 1950 and 1970. He also worked on facilities for Nike missiles, a nuclear capable anti aircraft weapon designed to destroy entire formations of bombers.… They interviewed my parents, my friends parents, the people that I lived with… girfriendd…Fortunately, it was before marijuana had come on the scene and we were just youthful legal beer drinkers…
Because some of the work was in secret laboratories and other facilities, he was issued a Q clearance by the Atomic Energy Commission, later known as the DOE. He was investigated by the FBI, and told me if there was even one blip on his record, the clearance would have been denied.
The construction bid documents could sometimes only be viewed in secure settings, and he was required to produce ductwork shop drawings for the projects with false job names and numbers. His employees were occasionally blindfolded and escorted through some of these areas or through temporary corridors to get to work areas.
Q clearance or Q access authorization is the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) security clearance required to access Top Secret Restricted Data, Formerly Restricted Data, and National Security Information, as well as Secret Restricted Data. Restricted Data (RD) is defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and covers nuclear weapons and related materials.
DOE clearances apply for access specifically relating to atomic or nuclear related materials ("Restricted Data" under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954). The clearance is issued predominantly to non-military personnel. In 1946, U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps Major William L. Uanna, in his capacity as the first Chief of the Central Personnel Clearance Office at the newly formed Atomic Energy Commission, named and established the criteria for the Q Clearance.

Netanyahu quote of the day...
"If the Middle East falls to the Axis of terror, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi and Iran‘s other minions, Europe will be next, and no one will be safe..."
I wonder if it's the translation, or if they all have the same speech writers? What difference does it make, when Europe is importing the same people that will cause it's fall?

That's exactly what he's saying. Why do you think French president Macron immediately stopped all protests and ordered demonstrators arrested? Muslim terrorists have already murdered dozens of people in France.

The problem is, they are only highlighting the violence now. Rapes and murders in Europe have been on the rise for years perpetratad by these "refugees". It's like they only mention it when it's politically advantageous. It's incredibly stupid, and people are blind to it.

I've been watching this small group of protestors gather for weeks, was waiting for some shit to do down. Looks like it did.
I can tell you the locals around here are fuckin pissed and there's gonna be some serious shit going down if these palestinian protestors continue this crap.
The Jewish guy got whacked in the head with a megaphone, fell and hit his head on the concrete. He died a day later from the head injury.
Bad series of events, and all over a country and a war that is not ours.....

Ventura County Sheriff this morning did a damn good job at press conference that was televised world wide.
Immediately cable news slaughtered the sheriff thru fucking up the context of everything the man said. Ventura County Medical Examiner was nervous but also did a good job.
FOX, CNN , all of them barely covering the actual war. Like watching a televised face book.

They were saying on the news it was air strikes.. but they didn't specify if it was with planes or rockets.. Either way it looks like things are escalating.

Terrorist attacks are imminent there's no doubt.. it will likely happen under the next administration and they will all point the finger at who ever is in charge.. make no mistake The open border policy under this administration will have caused it.
You can't put 100 people in a room without finding 10 assholes.. 10 legit morally compromised people, 5 criminals and 1-2 pedophiles.. They let over 6 million into the country there's thousands (minimum, probably more) of terrorists here now. Gotta figure some % of them will figure out America doesn't suck and will abandon the mission.. but still...
I expect we will see bombs placed in public spots.. suicide bombers, mass shootings, on our shores 2-4 years from now and continuing for a long time after that. Which then puts us in a position of retaliation, hate crimes, constitutional problems.. citizens vs non citizens.. every inch will further their beliefs in some.
A country is nothing without borders.. and right now we don't have one.

Those are indeed the facts. The facts that nobody wants to admit in open but that is exactly what is going to happen and those responsible better damn well better be held accountable. I've always had shit for luck , always wrong place at the wrong time. Now 2 years after I retire they gotta turn the world upside down.

"If" the president has "no higher priority than the safety of" US personnel, why then are said personnel based in a country that he openly calls for the leader to be removed?
Syria has bugged me since their attempt at a "revolution". The one they had a bit before Ukraine.

Unfortunately, you sighted Beirut, which is Lebanon. I assume Assad senior must have somehow played nice with the US, otherwise I'd doubt his son would have come here for med school. When he came to power, shit hit the skids under Obama, and we've had a base or two there since...adjacent the oil fields...We got involved during the Regan years, 1983.

Houthi rebels in Yemen supported by Iran shot down the MQ-9 Reaper drone. It happened over international waters of the Red Sea.

Those guys live in Gaza most likely are Muslim and happen to freelance for those media outlets.. stop reading headlines and actually read the whole thing.
If I hired a photographer freelance to work for rdp and then they went and did some other shit.. that doesn’t associate rdp with that shit

This 2½ year old blog post by an Israeli author provides a lesson in what proportional response actually means. The dipshits on the left that claim Israel is intentionally killing civilians and that the attacks on Gaza are genocide don't understand this well known and basic concept of war.
During WWII, the Allies killed over 600,000 German civilians with aerial bombing and destroyed most of the large cities. The atomic bombs dropped on Japan killed over 150,000, and incendiary attacks killed another 300,000. No one on the winning side liked it, but it was required to end the war. Such is human conflict.

Being the type I am, I always wonder what the drone was loaded with, where it was headed or where it was coming back from. An aerial platform capable of carrying up to 2 tons of munitions isn't for just looking around. It's kind of like the old song "Don't Take Your Guns To Town". Look for a fight, and you'll always find one.
I'm just grateful it was a UAV. No lives lost, or worse, taken captive.

To your question, the Houthis have been lobbing missiles at Israel over the last week or so. The Reaper was monitoring the launches, and that allowed the Israelis to anticipate and shoot them down with their air defense systems.

I think there is some sort of algorithm on X that shows you comments that are of your political/cultural persuasion. For example, if I go to a post from the White House, or the President, the vast majority of comments I see are roasting him. While I would like to believe that many people on the platform hate his guts, I just can't buy into it that only 5-10% of the population supports him. You know me, I question everything. So I need to find a liberal friend and look at the posts side by side to see what they see in the comments. Do they see that 90% of America agrees with them also?

I think the vast majority of the American populace is not set to process images like the mentioned video, or many others from other conflicts. Videos showing thermal imaging of kill shots, or missile strikes on buildings or vehicles, are far removed from the actual reality. Even those that watch slasher movies for fun, see a distinct difference between cinema production, and reality.
For the most part, we as Americans have not seen it. Some first responders mention that "one scene", the one that haunts them more than others in a career around violence and wreckage. In some places, those scenes are common risks of reality.
You don't pick a side and lose until you win. You pick a side and either die trying, or succeed. No real options in between.

Let me try and get this straight: Houthi rebels from Yemen shoot down a drone over the Red Sea. In response, the US strikes targets thousands of miles north, in Syria, because they are backed by Iran?
