"...they are nearly impossible to sweep out." Indeed, but they can be pressed into remission (or is that submission?) by what's left of Free America should it take a strong stand. The power of the Jihadies in the US right now, IMHO, rides on the unwritten alliance they have with the Marxists in the Democrat party. If they succeed in bringing down Free America I expect they will try to annihilate each other. America would look like the progeny of a North Korea and Gaza parentage. I'll put in my two cents when I can, but I just hope what's left of Free America lasts until I'm gone.

I disagree with the writer about NYC in the 80's, at least in the early 80's NYC had not
succumbed completely to the corrupt perverts who have run the city for the past 40 years.
The entertainment on Broadway was still mostly wholesome with some realism added.
By the late 80's it had turned away from traditional family oriented fare to multiple
perversions headed for the utter removal of historic accuracy replaced by perverted
racist/sexist propaganda, e.g., Hamilton and the accurately named Wicked.
Economically, the thieves of Wall St have been destroying NYC for at least a century.
Mamdani can finish the job they started.

Unfortunately, once the vermin have embedded themselves they are nearly impossible to sweep
out. They already have control of many powerful government positions in the UK and across the
EU (not to mention MN, NY, CA, IL, and Maine.) If a rebellion of Europeans takes place they will
hide under rocks and continue to sting honest people to death for generations. Honest people must
pass laws that prevent any immigrants from gaining positions in the government and prevent any
from having any ability to gain any political power. Killing off the EU as a political entity (except as
a toothless trade organization) is a requirement.

Spain showed us how to end the incursions a few centuries ago, but modern Western Civilization hasn't been thrashed enough yet to take that road. I suppose when the scorpions really start to sting you'll know it's time to sweep them out of the house.

Have but will allow others to decide.
After Williams words: "when Government policy chooses [?] over Heritage, we do not just lose land, we lose ourselves". It started to go off the rails (seems to be video disease of late)(perhaps AI, as you suggest).
This was seen as a rebuke of the act of taking property to build housing for more immigrants, (Presumably muslims).
As Maccannon (Craig) suggest, it's probably too late, I would add, too weak to start a movement; but, it does echo the silent thoughts of the British People.
Where I live and work there have been a increasing influx of people from Britain and the quietly tell me so.

Agreed. Get the government out of the welfare business.

Well, what you need is radar and missile coverage. How do you get enough radar there, and float enough missiles. A big ship is cheaper per missile than a small ship.
Then there is the issue of protecting the big ship. This is possible, but they need a paradigm shift for the lasers they have. They have 300kW lasers (going to 500kW). They need ~2MW. This is a physics problem. However, we can point 10x 300kW lasers on the same target without issue. This is not a problem, and with such a system, we can defeat hypersonics and drone swarms.

The last issue is cost vs size. If you look at shipbuilding costs, the cost of a surface ship is proportional to the tonnage, with high-correlation. That is why old-timers in government don't believe anything about lower cost shipbuilding. However, the cost of a cruise ship or other navy's ships do NOT follow this same trend. We need to get the RIDICULOUS NAVSEA organization and SUPSHIPS organizations the phuck out of the way. They are worse than dinosaurs.

For example, the Navy has it's own welding requirements and certification. If you want to make equipment for the Navy you MUST weld and braze to these requirements. Every welder and weld type has a separate certification. This means that the 1,000's of American Welding Society (AWS) fully-certified companies can NOT supply for any equipment going to the Navy. Who do you think knows more about welding, the thousands of people in AWS, who like IEEE or ASME study and improve welding year over year OR the 40 people in the NAVSEA welding code in 05? My brother eliminated NASA welding requirements and switched to AWS 14000 (flight safety) requirements. You can add an inspection on the weld, but not a unique weld requirement. This increased NASA's supply base over 10x! Just one stupid thing, but a perfect example of why we can lower the cost of our ships. It is NOT greedy shipbuilders, it is incompetent Navy specifiers and requirements.

If the prior Philly Shipyard, now acquired by Hanwah (Korean conglomerate and shipbuilder), gets engaged and we get NAVSEA out of the way, you will see some real affordability transitioning.

Certainly you could have superior knowledge. ;^)
Is the 'protection' cost and the construction costs of such ships the most economic use of scarce resources? Can the so-called projection of power that those ships arguably provide be done using more economic advanced technology?

I would generally agree, but think now (perhaps I have superior knowledge) that protecting a big ship, like a CVN, is possible.

We already have this problem, regardless of building BBG-47

Yep, yuck!

Note, I did limit my restriction to big ships.
They are sitting duck targets for modern technology.
I think Trump is under pressure (by the folks who killed JFK, shot Reagan,
and shot at Trump) to keep spending on military. Ship building is also
a way to give union members jobs, a political and personal survival choice.
Unfortunately, it's a case of fighting a war from the previous century,
ignoring the fact that they've been losing such since 1945 any time the
opposition has any capability to resist past a week.

All I can say is IF he could really see her.
It wasn't without her wig and makeup.

Because I've seen that. ONCE.
And I would PREFER to cut off my own head than to see it again.

Ofc the relationship did not last long. He would eventually have to see her almost NAKED. And she has a face even Carrot Top couldn't sell.

That's without getting into the personality.

Or when it was supposed to be HIS turn to wear the strap-on....

The occasional Dog Bone.
before they implement it secretly!

Well you can certainly cancel the Army. It has no role in foreseeable warfare.

We disagree about Navy ships. Although you can clearly make them cheaper... a LOT cheaper. The path to that is to get NAVSEA OUT of ship design and specification. They are incompetent. Just the welding requirements are ridiculous. They require RT films for certification. Digital (you know, like at your dentist) is not allowed. Tell private industry what you want it to do, and let them design and build ships.

Minnesota is probably out now, but Sacramento would gladly take him.
He'd have to sneak across the border through Mexico or Canada, of course.

About 50 years after the treasonous structure should have been ended.
It has been obvious (to anyone with at least half a brain) since the 1970's
that the CPB was a front for communist propaganda.
Funding it was effectively suicide for individual liberty.
Thank you to the current administration.
Now how about cutting the military budget by $500 billion a year?
Building big naval ships is a YUGE waste of money by the current
administration.

I don't think Putin has much love for Islam, but he may let the Ayatollah come to Moscow. Gee whiz, why doesn't the old SOB go to one of his proxies in Lebanon, Gaza, or Yemen - ha ha ha! I figure if Putin says "nyet" there's always Dearborn, Michigan - I'm sure the Democrats will find some way to give him asylum.

I'd recommend a healthy dose of salt and skepticism about this. That channel is pretty much AI generated tabloid videos - at one point even claiming King Charles had Stahmer arrested.

890K pounds for 80 acres or active farmland? Are you kidding?

Like to see how the UK does without farms. They have no manufacturing economy. It is just a service economy. They'll be buying food with earnings from banking. That is a recipe for the end.

Starmer is right out of 1984!

Me dino keeps reading and hearing about Brits getting jailed for practicing free speech. I don't have anything against Price William, but it looks like you have to be royalty to be listened to.
Now this country needs to do what Britain needs to do. Deport anyone whose religion dictates forcing an Islamic dictatorship on everyone.

The world is slowly rising up against Radical Islam, England is next . . . it's already started

True, they've rationed thought. Not enough to go around.

Orange head, Bad !

Indeed. I actually thought this would never happen, but here it is. If the Dems win the midterms or the next presidency, they may try to revive it.

Promises made, promises kept
