As long as she stays married to someone who is not me I do not care much about her.

But she fights for those who “need it most”, she’s a global health advocate. She’s advocating for us all! Or so I’m told.

Don’t think you have much to worry about there duff.

As for the Navy not telling us about the implosion immediately, I fail to understand how them withholding the info for a few days before releasing it helped keep the technology used to remain secure.

I understand the need to protect, but not the need to delay: really, what difference would it make had they announced the discovery two hours later vs. two or three days later?

Does not compute.

Good grief, I just read that some idiot conservatives blame "wokeness" for the Titan fiasco.

Amazing what some idiots will say in order to advance their political agenda.

A senior Navy official told CNN the Navy detected an acoustic signature consistent with an implosion on Sunday in the general area where the vessel was diving and lost communication with its mother ship.

The Navy immediately relayed that information to on-scene commanders leading the search effort, and it was used to narrow down the area of the search, the official said Thursday.


The Navy did tell the searchers they expected an implosion right away.

shocking rebuke of Putin from the Wagner Military Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin

he said:

"The war was needed by the oligarchs. They were stealing loads in Donbas, they wanted more"

He also said there was never any plan for Ukraine or the western security alliance Nato to attack Russia.

He accused the Defense Minister, Shoigu, of seeking glory and wanting to rob Ukraine and divide up its assets

I've never before heard of a prominent citizen criticizing the big man in any way, let alone such a bold way

Putin has not publicly responded, but Russia has moved to reign in the Wagner group

I don’t know who heads the group that decides to push people out of windows, but that Wagner guy is pretty bold and loud.

They hired crew on skin color and other things not related to actual qualifications. Wokeness at its finest.
