Who wouldn't want to give up after 15 months and absolutely zero evidence of a crime, all the while being publicly mocked - on the record! - by fellow committee members for being a clown.

Biden got nearly 400,000 votes. The guy with 88 pending criminal charges got 110,000 votes, and a woman who's been out of the race for two months got just under 50,000 votes. Haley got nearly 1/3 of the votes cast by Republicans. 

Seems like, at least in Pennsylvania, people aren't motivated to go out and vote for Orange Man Bad. Only 4.5% of registered Republicans voted in the primary, and of those, only 3% voted for the presumptive Republican nominee, whereas 10% of registered Democrats voted, and all but .07% voted for Biden.

I don't for one second think people are excited about voting for Biden. I think people are excited about voting for Democracy, and we'll get that with Biden.

If he accuses someone of something against him, assume he's actually the one doing it.

Yes. Every accusation is a confession.

Not Fox News lying again!

This is the best witness name ever. 

Not going well for your boy in the contempt hearing. 

That's odd.

I thought I was being cheeking in calling out how ActBlue, a Democratic PAC, is going to be bailing out these protestors.

So you're against major political parties soliciting donations for people who might be criminals?

Here's a link if you'd like to donate to the protestors bail fund.

 

ActBlue: Donate to Bail Funds for Protestors

Soliciting donations is almost unheard of in P&R. Why do you suggest people donate to this fund?

Regardless, they are virtually all single men living together.

Yes, this is common. But that doesn't mean there aren't also women from Somalia here (there are, in nearly equal numbers to the men), and they're in the work force.

Also, they aren't illegals, which you claimed to be speaking about earlier. So there's that.

Locally, there are hundreds of single Somalian and Syrian men. One apartment complex in GI is nothing but Muslim men. A couple of parks in town had to put up cctv to monitor the drinking/drugs/fights.

 

Anecdotal I know.

Syrian? Do you mean Sudanese? There isn't really a significant (like, less than 200) Syrian immigrant population in this state.

There are at least as many Sudanese and Somali women in Nebraska.

But if you're talking about these communities, you aren't talking about illegal immigrants.

Then why all single young men?

I, as always, am speaking of illegal immigrants.

46% of illegal immigrants from 2015-2019 were female.

Where are you getting this "all single young men" information?

11 minutes ago, DevoHusker said:

Simply due to the fact they end up in the US.

 

Lots of "western" nations much closer and easier to get to.

But we're the best country in the world, right? If you could choose, why would you settle?

Are you implying that the only people emigrating to the US are single young men? That's not remotely true.

What is the median age for immigrants?

The immigrant population’s median age in 2022 was 47 years, making it older than the U.S.-born population, which had a median age of 37 years.

One reason for this difference is that immigrants arrive largely as adults, whereas immigrants’ U.S.-born children contribute to the younger median age of the native-born population. Less than 1 percent of immigrants were under age 5 in 2022, compared to 6 percent of the U.S. born. Five percent of immigrants were children ages 5 to 17, as compared with 18 percent of the U.S. born. Seventy-seven percent of immigrants were of working age (18 to 64 years), a much higher figure than the 58 percent of the U.S. born. Close to 18 percent of immigrants and 17 percent of the U.S. born were age 65 or older.

What is the sex ratio of the immigrant population?

About 51 percent of all U.S. immigrants in 2022 were female, compared to 50 percent of the native born. The share has fluctuated slightly over the past four decades, but immigrant women and girls tend to slightly outnumber men and boys. They accounted for 53 percent of the immigrant population in 1980, 51 percent in 1990, 50 percent in 2000, and 51 percent in 2010.

This is a pretty chilling weapon.

Report: US deployed microwave missiles that can disable Iran's nuclear facilities

According to an exclusive report from DailyMail.com, the US Air Force has quietly deployed a new type of missile that can destroy the electronics of Iran's nuclear facilities using high-power microwaves, without causing any fatalities.

The missiles, known as the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), were developed by Boeing's Phantom Works for the US Air Force Research Laboratory. After successful testing in 2012, around 20 of these microwave missiles became operational and were deployed to various locations around the globe in 2019.

As DailyMail.com reports, the CHAMP missiles are air-launched cruise missiles fitted with an electromagnetic pulse cannon that generates a concentrated beam of high-power microwave energy. This energy can fry the computer chips and electronic systems of targeted facilities, rendering them inoperable.

"We hit every target we wanted to," said Boeing's CHAMP Program Manager Keith Colman after the successful 2012 test, adding "Today we made science fiction into science fact."

Mary Lou Robinson, former chief of the Air Force's High Power Microwave Division, confirmed to DailyMail.com that the missiles are "ready to take out any military target, including nuclear facilities."

The key advantage of these microwave weapons is that they can penetrate buried bunkers and command centers through electrical and communications connections, disabling electronics without causing structural damage or loss of life. "The beauty of the HPM missile is that its microwave beam can penetrate bunkers where facilities are hidden without harming humans inside," DailyMail.com reports.

They also have the ability to disable defensive radar systems, striking their targets undetected. "Most amazing of all, the missile renders inoperable any radar that might detect it as it flies to and from a target. Thus, a country cannot take out CHAMP before it strikes and has no way of knowing why its facilities have suddenly gone dead," according to DailyMail.com.

While details are limited due to operational security concerns, the existence of this operational microwave missile capability highlights the stealthy options available to the US military to counter threats like Iran's nuclear program through electronic disruption rather than kinetic force.
