Russia is now fielding long-range, fiber-optic–controlled drones while simultaneously accelerating development of fully autonomous, AI-driven attack drones that mark a dramatic shift in its battlefield strategy. Ukrainian officials confirm that Moscow is deploying jam-proof fiber-optic FPV platforms with a 50-kilometer range, forcing Ukrainian units to cover supply routes with netting to protect vehicles from incoming strikes.

AI WILL kill us all, but anyone who doesn't have it will be at the mercy of those who do, just like with nuclear weapons. I'm not sure we even deserve to survive as a species. We never learn our lesson.

40km long fiber optic cables? Really? Being "prone to snagging on obstacles"? Is this from The Bee?

Optic Cable will go a few thousand yards at best. I am puzzled how they operate.

Years ago, I enjoyed playing a computer game called Mech Warrior Your armored and armed bot went against enemy bots. Fun game (not sure if it's still available) but it was a hint of what was to come...warfare with controllable machines battling each other. It seems to be here now. Drones used in warfare. Flying machines like our 'Reaper' drone taking out enemy targets and from a remote location. Is this the future? Human controlled now but AI may eventually dispense with very little or no human intervention. Swarms spreading death and destruction? That's here now and eventually suicide drones armed with nukes? We won't be around to see it and that may be a good thing for those of us gone.

Ukraine has the exact same tech. Like all wars, the tech develops apace on both sides.

Antonio, never underestimate the Ukrainians. They are developing and implementing the same technologies. There is a reason why Putie and his body doubles are staying out of sight.

86% of PCR-Positive “COVID
Cases” Were Not Real Infections

A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates. When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering: Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.
Michelle Obama Is an Insufferable Racist 32 replies

Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal. The routine has become predictable, and her latest appearances only reinforce the sense that

Ford has been unable to fill some 5,000 openings for mechanics despite offering a salary of $120,000 a year — prompting the company’s chief executive to warn of a dire shortage of skilled tradespeople in the US. “We are in trouble in our country. We are not talking about this enough,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said on an episode of the “Office Hours: Business Edition” podcast published earlier this week. “We have over a million openings in critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, electricians and tradesmen.” [snip] “We do not have trade schools,” he fumed. Earlier this year, Ford rolled out a $4 million initiative to fund scholarship for auto technicians.
NYC's socialist mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

New York City mayor-elect and self-proclaimed Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani urged his followers not to purchase Starbucks products while workers are on strike. Mamdani posted the call to action on his X account to his more than one million followers, which generated swift backlash from those who opposed his pro-union stance. 'Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract,' he wrote in the post. 'While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us. Together, we can send a powerful message: No contract

While some people are looking to New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani to kiss their boo-boo and make it better, I think it is safe to say that most folks can recognize an underqualified empty suit when they see one. Mamdani's candidacy was successful due to a particular set of circumstances, coupled with outrageous promises to address issues ranging from unaffordable housing to food prices, as well as providing free bus and subway travel by executive fiat. At first blush, this looks like Lefitst Politics 101: promise the lumpenproletariat free stuff. However, a closer look reveals that we may be dealing with a man who is simply unmoored from reality.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud. The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check. “Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has found himself in hot water after being caught up in a major scandal and is trying to cover up to save himself. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney, Leah Saffian, has confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers have been FIRED for illegally breaking into Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails, emails that were then leaked straight to Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, who blasted them to the media like political propaganda. According to Saffian:

Hunter Biden needs to go away. He won’t, but give it a rest, man. You and your family are done in professional politics. You are sure as hell aren’t going to be elected to anything. Your dad drools in his soup. And your laptop is what opened Pandora’s box into your family’s alleged government access shenanigans. It was the roadmap. Then, daddy started to fall apart—and his own party booted him off the ticket because he was going to get slaughtered by Donald Trump in 2024. During his sit-down on the Wide Awake Podcast, Hunter went off on Miranda Devine, one of the reporters at The New York Post,

This is one of the most depraved things we've ever seen. But given the state of the American Left and its antisemitic, anti-Israel stance, it's not surprising. There's an off-Broadway show called Slam Frank, and it wants audiences to keep their mouths shut about the last 20 minutes of the show. [Tweet] Why? Well, here's why: The New York based off-broadway show, titled Slam Frank – with the largely non-Jewish cast singing and dancing while wearing yellow Stars of David, is marketed as a musical satire,

President Donald Trump announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "ranting lunatic" and accusing the Georgia Republican of "complaining" instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s "record achievements." The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections. Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."
Why Are Deranged People Walking Chicago's Streets? 15 replies

I saw this story out of Chicago today and it made me think of all the similar stories in places like Seattle, Portland and New York. The person in this story is a violent offender named William Livingston who has a long history of punching random women in the face and then walking away. Livingston has been arrested dozens of times and even gone to prison in the past, but no matter how many times this happens, he is always back on the street and going back to the same violent behavior. This week he was arrested yet again for two violent attacks that occurred in June.
