The US has a few thousand miles of land borders, and there are some neat places to visit along them.
I’m not at all sure where this gentleman went or why.

I thought they catch fire and burn down slowly.
Correct. Both the recent pager and radio attacks, and the 1996 cell phone attack, were performed by planting military explosives inside the devices in advance.
There is no magical way to hack the electronics to make a lithium battery straight up explode.
TPS is a lawful status in federal law. But it’s also not a regular immigration status that you’d get with an actual immigrant visa.
The idea is that TPS recipients are going to ship back out just as soon as Haiti (or wherever) gets its act together again. It’s not a very secure status and does not lead to green cards or naturalization.
Also, Israel already assassinated someone by exploding their cell phone way back in 1996.
And historically leads to stuff like putting the one final screw in domestically so you can slap that Made in America tag in it and avoid a heap of tariffs.
Technically I think that’s still “put us first on the search bar” money. You’re giving the real under-the-table explanation.
attempts on presidents’ lives are not rare in US history
And that’s why the Secret Service is as comprehensive as it is. Ultimately, the democracy responds to problems.
Some research earlier today suggested that some specific model may even have alkaline batteries, which are less thermal runaway-ey than lithium ions.
I’m just seriously impressed that someone could get enough explosive into the package and still have a functional pager that didn’t set off alarms.
Well you see, every February is egg laying season, and he needs those warm sandy beaches to incubate his spawn.
Usually, he can just go down to Galveston and get what he needs. But that year was a very, very special case. It’s not easy being cold blooded.
SpaceX is beating the pants off every other domestic launch provider unfortunately. All because Musk took some fantastic risks with his own money, and they paid off handsomely. And the worst part is SpaceX is a private company: no public shareholders to keep Musk in check.
You may have heard about ULA having a wee bit of trouble with some capsule thrusters. They have lost some truly epic amounts of money on that program.
Trump is only entitled to ex-President and candidate protection. It’s a lower tier of protection with fewer resources expended.
This is the only way to legally vote by remote electronics in Texas. Must be registered in Harris County. And must be voting from outer space.
Now known as Cavazos. The country decided to maybe not name bases after traitorous losers.
None of the current ICBM platforms were designed for missile defense. Missile defense simply did not exist at the time.
Sentinel is busting its budget because it’s renovating and rebuilding all of the ground segments: all of those decrepit silos and computer systems. It’s still money well spent in my opinion.
Missile guidance is not a computationally hard problem, and it hasn’t changed much since the 50s. Terminal missile defense is a fantastically hard problem, and wasn’t mastered until the last decade or two. And the current generation missile defense capabilities still haven’t all been demonstrated in combat.
Having said that, I would generally expect NATO’s missiles to work as advertised in a hot war. And I would plan for Russia’s missiles to be somewhat less effective than they advertise, but still a credible threat.
I’m just repeating what happened or what the plan was the last couple of go arounds, with Napoleon and Hitler.
Napoleon did occupy Moscow, but it didn’t help him very much.
Hitler was turned back just short of Moscow, but the Russian government had all sorts of continuity plans that involved moving further east. Entire factories were uprooted and shipped into the Urals.
Even with nuclear annihilation, NATO could still get to Moscow in a three day operation. It’s just a question of which cities back home are still standing.
Moscow is not the big prize you might think it is. Russia can just retreat hundreds of kilometers further east and carry on.
NATO can do the thunder run, but they are not equipped to win a massive land war in Asia. You really gotta listen to the Sicilian from Princess Bride on this one.
ABC is a network that doesn’t have an FCC license. Each individual local station is an FCC licensee. They’re the ones that are responsible for the content they air.
criminal lawsuit?
What? Do they mean “criminal prosecution?”
Any type of parole has to be at least marginally less dangerous for the hostage than execution.
Well, which one is it?
