Mary Lou Retton is in the ICU, uninsured, with severe breathing problems. This is awful, and I wish her a speedy recovery. Omitted from most coverage is that she is a millionaire Republican, willfully uninsured, likely unvaccinated, and I'm guessing COVID positive.

The Trump administration loves an ally who fights and does the dirty work themselves. Minimal SOUTHCOM support, maximal Salvadorean ruthlessness. Zero lawyers. Zero survivors. Field testing a partnership prototype and further stationing troops off Cuba.

Thursday’s Injury Report #DALvsPHI

It’s called class. But rly, the Blood Mary is the superior airport bar drink.

Ay papitos En los 80 un ejercito de campesinos le dio verga al Ejercito de El Salvador en su propio territorio, que tenia apoyo de los gringos y 1 millon de dólares diarios en financiamiento Hoy creen que van a ganarle a bandas bien armadas en Haití pobrecitos esos soldados

When boarding, ask the Flight Attendant if your kid can visit the cockpit. We can’t always do that, but most of the time we’re happy to. We’ll do a little show & you can take pictures. Just be ready to do it in a way that doesn’t block others & is quick. As for kids in the cabin…do your best to keep them occupied, but remember that most of us have been where you are with our own kids & we remember. I took my 6 month old from NJ to Sydney, Australia once. Miserable. She wouldn’t stop crying if you set her down, refused to lay in the bassinet attached to the bulkhead & I ended up in the galley, holding her much of the way from LA to Sydney. I’ve been there, it will be OK. Your kid is welcome & most of us have been in your shoes.

The US military gets over 80% of its dogs from Europe, and fewer than half of them turn out fit for service. South Korea hit the same wall back in 2007, and their fix sounds like a movie plot. They took their best drug-sniffing dog, a Lab named Chase, and cloned him seven times. All seven puppies got the same name, Toppy, short for "tomorrow's puppy." They went through the customs service's detector dog program like any other recruit while researchers tracked how they did. Regular puppies made the cut about 30% of the time. The clones made it 86% of the time, and by 2009 they were working airports and harbors across the country. That's the business case for what Palmer Luckey and Colossal's Ben Lamm just launched. Training one of these dogs can run past $60,000. When half your dogs wash out, every dog that graduates is secretly paying for the one that didn't, so each graduate really costs you something closer to $120,000. Get the pass rate up to Korea's 86% and that drops to about $70,000. You'd knock roughly 40% off every working dog the military buys before the dog does a single thing better. And Warhound wants the dog to do things better. Korea could only copy a great dog. Lamm's team is banking cells from top German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois and then editing the genes. According to Lamm, the dogs that fail usually fail on stuff they were born with, like bad eyesight, cancer risk, hip dysplasia and muscle wasting. So the plan is to copy the best dog they can find and fix whatever would have ended its career. The cloning runs through ViaGen, a Texas company Colossal owns that has spent years cloning people's pets for around $50,000 a dog. Anduril builds what goes on top of the dog, like vests with sensors that feed data back to the handler. For the record, Palmer doesn't own any of it. Colossal holds the equity, and the CIA's venture fund In-Q-Tel is in the $200 million round with Sequoia. First puppies are due early next year. Korea's clones needed 16 months of training to prove themselves. If Warhound's dogs put up anything close to those numbers, the next generation of America's war dogs gets born in Texas instead of bought from Europe.

“Citizens” you little cuck, these are are not just normal citizens… they are military personnel. wtf is El Salvador doing in Haiti.

Los militares que serán enviados como sacrificio a Haití por las locuras de Bukele tienen la opción de no seguir órdenes y quedarse en casa. Los van arrestar sí. Pero al menos no van a regresar en bolsa. Digo, es una opción. Ya si sabiendo eso van, pues. Quien por su gusto muere.

Haiti is not El Savador. Bukele is about to learn a lesson written in blood.

🇭🇹🇸🇻 À ceux qui pensent que Nayib Bukele peut intervenir militairement en Haïti à la suite de la «disparition » des quatre militaires salvadoriens, je tiens à rappeler ceci : La volonté légitime du président salvadorien de sauver ses quatre militaires ne saurait justifier une intervention militaire unilatérale en Haïti, en violation de sa souveraineté nationale. La lutte contre les gangs ne saurait devenir un prétexte pour contourner le droit international. Toute opération militaire doit s’inscrire dans un cadre juridique clairement établi, conformément au mandat de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) et aux dispositions de la Charte des Nations unies. La gravité de la situation sécuritaire en Haïti ne suspend ni le droit international ni la souveraineté du pays. Nancy Roc #Haiti #Salvador #Souveraineté #InterventionMilitaire

We need to go on offense.

My American brothers and sisters, I have a question for you! The other day, I saw someone post that Americans don’t use the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to make fun of Japanese people. And I thought about it for a moment… I’ve talked to so many Americans, but now that I think about it, I’ve never had anyone do that to me either! So I’m curious, how do you guys feel about the fact that Japan and America were once at war with each other? I’m still young, so honestly, I don’t really know what it feels like to experience a war. But I’ve learned so much about America and its people, and I really love America! I know we have a complicated history, but personally, I just want Japan and America to keep getting along! I’m curious to hear what you guys think! Sorry if this is a weird question!

A Europa será destruída por mulheres que projetam naqueles animais a maternidade que cabia aos filhos que elas abortaram.

Veilguard really was *that* bad

The New Yorker gives us “the worst outcome” of the anarchy in France:

Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House. If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

Stay tuned, bro.
