This Bragg dude may have just earned his life. The rest of the prosecutors need the death penalty when the time comes. How woke Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg axed his predecessor's 'rushed' probe into Donald Trump's finances | Daily Mail Online

COMMENT (slightly edited here): The possible decline in tech levels after the first few weeks of the war is reminiscent of the 'I don't know about WW3, but WW4 will be sticks and stones" line. Not quite THAT level, but a similar concept with a much more plausible conclusion.

These two lament the 28-POUND TRIGGER PULL on the Colt 1902 "Philippine" .45 revolver. But I've seen vids of other similar arms (maybe even this model) where two fingers were used. They don't even think of it. Go to 25:00 point for start of this discussion, followed by Mae's range vid. Then Mae enters studio at 38:14 point. Also, she's tactically wrong about still taking the 1902 over the SAA (46:47 point). In the context of her failure to comprehend, even a single-action would be better.

COMMENT :  The video points out the point Alexander Hamilton made in Federalist 29 about civilian militias: It's impossible to have the whole of the civilian population trained and disciplined for military action: "The project of disciplining all the militia of the United States is as futile as it would be injurious, if it were capable of being carried into execution. A tolerable expertness in military movements is a business that requires time and practice. It is not a day, or even a week, that will suffice for the attainment of it. To oblige the great body of the yeomanry, and of the other classes of the citizens, to be under arms for the purpose of going through military exercises and evolutions, as often as might be necessary to acquire the degree of perfection which would entitle them to the character of a well-regulated militia, would be a real grievance to the people, and a serious public inconvenience and loss. It would form an annual deduction from the productive lab...

"Harley" has a 6-round Ruger Super Blackhawk in .454 Casull, while "Marlboro" has an 8+1-round Desert Eagle in .44 Magnum. The scene certainly demonstrates the tactical superiority of an automatic over a revolver--certainly a single-action rod-eject--but the humorous line at the beginning upholds a TDF position of sticking to more common calibers . While .44 doesn't make top-seller lists, it's far more common than .454 Casull. And in the semi-dystopic future of this much-underrated movie, that means 2020 Ammo Crunch-type prices for ammo. Harley should know to fire .45 Long Colt ! Marlboro  :  You know, that gun costs about two dollars every time you fire it. That's two bucks a bullet. Harley Davidson  :  Well how many'd I hit? Marlboro  :  You spent twelve dollars and didn't hit a goddamn thing. I nailed one and it cost about four and a quarter.

Fear Of Donald Trump Kept Putin From Invading Ukraine. Here’s How Trump Pulled It Off (thefederalist.com) A recent Harvard-Harris  poll  found that 62 percent of Americans believe that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were still in the Oval Office. As former senior intelligence officials under President Trump, we agree with that view. Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 when George W. Bush was president. Russia took Crimea in 2014 when Barack Obama was president. Russia has now invaded Ukraine with Joe Biden as president. However, when Donald Trump was president, Russia did not seize territory from any of its neighbors. ... So how did Trump succeed in containing Putin while the Russian autocrat has run wild with others in the White House? Why was he so successful at spreading peace elsewhere? We believe the long answer begins with these ten ways that Donald Trump projected American strength and kept the bad guys in check: Rebuilt the American Military Crusaded ...

COMMENT: Ground combat is going more and more urban. Rural areas are too vulnerable to air/artillery/missile attack. As much as I love some W40K, the Korps of Krieg is not the future of warfare. And every urban environment has its subterranean dimension: =============================== UKRAINE SITUATION: But then there's this (from 22 FEB 2022): =============================== FOR AMERICAN CIVILIANS (CANADIANS MIGHT APPRECIATE THIS, TOO): THE DAILY FUDD: E118: (TDF 80 retitled) "'Compounds, enclaves, and households,' or, "Mount Carmel may indeed be an option if the threat is private-sector insurrectionists.'"
