First Dr. Oz, Now RFK, jr
Quote:Kennedy, who appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday morning, said “President Trump has a different way of calculating, there’s two ways of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that’s a 600 percent reduction.” He acknowledged that Trump’s math departs from standard calculations.
I'm not a mathematician, but I'm 143% sure than there are not 'two ways of calculating percentages.'

Best news story in a long, long time.
Grandmother Arrested For Wearing A Giant Inflatable Penis Costume
Quote:Body camera footage that quickly went viral showed Fairhope police zeroing in on Gamble at a busy intersection. The arresting officer, Andrew Babb, complained the giant inflatable member was causing a public spectacle and potential traffic hazard in the family-friendly Gulf town. When Gamble refused to “deflate” and remove the costume, things got physical: officers took the 62-year-old to the ground and cuffed her, struggling comically to subdue and stuff the oversized erection into a squad car.
It’s a longish article, but absolutely worth a full read.

And yet, there are Ukrainian specialists in the Middle East right now using drone defence techniques and technology, developed by Ukraine, to defend US bases...

NBC is reporting that Iran caused way more damage to US military bases than has been reported so far. The US government has tried to keep the news quiet, but it's too much to hide.
The report says that Iranian pilots flew F-5 aircraft (!) right through air defenses and dropped bombs on US bases.

Golly, that doesn't sound like a country that had its entire military 'completely and totally obliterated.'

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
