Tam at View from the Porch starts us off with an interesting Cold War history lesson. Hit or Missile

A radio controlled target drone, converted from a surplus Grumman F6F Hellcat, got away from its controllers at Point Mugu N.A.S., where it had been going to serve as a target for guided missile testing. Instead of heading for the target area, the rogue drone headed for the airspace over Los Angeles.

The USAF launched a pair of Scorpion interceptors from Oxnard AFB, which caught up with the errant robot plane, and thus began the Battle of Palmdale:

Impro Guns - Brazilian street gang arsenal. (Click thru for the photo, and check out other posts.)

A typical favella narco gang loadout. The ‘General’ gets to pack the MAC knock-off where as his lowest ranking Lieutenant must work his way up to earn the privilege of getting a magazine for his ‘MADE AS ISRAEL’ Tec-9.

Chicago Contrarian - Man Who Shot Chicago Police Officers Dies a Free Man

Morgan’s sudden, unexpected release from prison was granted only hours before Quinn left office in January 2015. On one hand, Morgan’s release was the culmination of more than nine years of legal proceedings that finally led to his conviction and sentence of 40 years behind bars. On the other, it was also one of the worst examples of the exoneration industry’s efforts to malign officers involved in Morgan’s arrest. From the pages of the exoneration playbook, the officers became the defendants in the media trial over the case.

Gates of Vienna - German Greens Swoon Over Ukraine

You wouldn’t think that the Greens in Germany would be OK with nationalism, but they are — just so long as it’s not German nationalism.

Moonbattery - Bum Paid $250 per Day for Pushing Nurse Down Stairs

This is a terrible time for patriotic Americans who hate watching their country die a disgraceful death by moonbattery, but a great time to be a lowlife with mental problems. In woke Seattle, a homeless career criminal named Alexander Jay will be paid $250 per day for having pushed a 62-year-old nurse down the stairs:

The Other McCain - Inside the Biden Bubble

Inside the Biden bubble, however, either they don’t know the facts or they think they can get away with this kind of dishonest spin, and one gets the impression that Biden is so completely out of touch — so insulated from reality — that he doesn’t even know what the problems are, much less have any idea how to fix them.

Allah Pundit at Hot Air - Maher: The Times buried the Kavanaugh assassination story because he's a conservative

“They just wear their bias on their sleeves,” he says here of the paper, “and if it’s not part of something that feeds our narrative, f— it, we bury it.”

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog - Chinese Corporate Scam + Green Subsidy Scam = Mountains of Abandoned New Cars

Most insane of all: China’s communist government required scrapping vehicles after 10 years or 100,000 kilometers. [That is just over 62,000 miles. Z-Deb] How’s that for “green”?

Again from The Other McCain - ‘Far-Right Extremists’ Alert!

Shoplifting is legal in California. You can defecate on the sidewalk and shoot up heroin in public parks. But cause a disturbance during “Drag Queen Story Hour”? Unthinkable! The sheriff’s department have “activated their hate crime protocols,” whatever that means.
