I can picture it, how many times have we seen it? If not for advanced communications and evac plans in the USA it might happen annually. The President is a fink.

Wonder if O'Reilly is staying in his "no spin" zone.

Quote:
Ten companies are pulling advertisements from Bill O'Reilly's primetime cable program on Fox News following a Saturday report that the host paid $13 million to five women who accused him over the years of sexual harassment.

Hyundai, BMW of North America, Untuckit, Constant Contact, Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, GSK pharmaceuticals, Allstate and Sanofi consumer healthcare have said they are pulling their commercials from "The O'Reilly Factor," NBC News and The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The latest failure of the Republicans to achieve an agreement with how to repeal and replace obamacare:

This could be an example of:
what happens when the administration tells two different groups of people what they want to hear
or
two groups of people hearing only what they want to hear
which then get together to discuss what they heard.

It's party unity. Obviously they never expected two disparate Republican groups to ever meet or compare notes. Certainly not on legislation.

It's a well-oiled machine! Stop spreading fake news and find the leakers!

Believe me, they would rather have the 35mil
than supporting her in prison for the rest her
life. That's a no brainer. They already have
the 35 mil spent and are glad to get it.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

The U.S. has begun considering adding a new kinetic energy weapon to its arsenal in hopes of countering advances in Russian nuclear technology that could potentially threaten U.S. tactical military dominance.

Called the Kinetic Energy Projectile, the weapon is a tungsten-based warhead launched at more than three times the speed of sound that bursts into numerous flaming, metal fragments easily capable of piercing most conventional types of armor, according to Aviation Week

...

Major General William Hix, the Army’s director of strategy, has likened the Kinetic Energy Projectile, designed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, to "a big shotgun shell" that could travel "Mach 3 to Mach 6" and tear through its targets.

“The way that they have designed it, is quite devastating. I would not want to be around it. Not much can survive it," Hix said last month at the Booz Allen Hamilton Direct Energy Summit, according to Defense One. "If you are in a main battle tank, if you’re a crew member, you might survive but the vehicle will be non-mission capable, and everything below that...level of protection will be dead. That’s what I am talking about."
