After an extended period of ailment, I have returned from the dead. It was so bad I didn't even want to pick up the laptop, much less write something witty or insightful. So without further adieu, here are some snippets for your consideration.
POLITICS
It looks like our President has solid hopes for reelection as his approval ratings continue to climb. Although I am only referencing one source, I took some time to skim around and it seems that the majority are happy with President Trump's efforts to move forward. I honestly hope that he gets a second term, as I never thought four years was quite long enough to accomplish any real change.
MILITARY
Iran seized two ships, a British oil Tanker and a Liberian vessel in the Straight of Hormuz. Really? It's like they just want to piss us off. In an apparent retaliation to the downing of an Iranian drone by USS Boxer (LHD-4) on Friday the two ships were boarded and seized.
The cool part is that apparently no missiles or projectile weapons were used. Instead the Marines aboard USS Boxer employed the LMADIS (Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System) scans the sky and can distinguish between enemy and friendly drones, then employs high frequency sound waves to 'jam' the enemy drone. I wonder if it tastes like raspberry? If you get that quote your old, but awesome. 'There's only one man who would jam me with raspberry jam - LONE-STARR!'
JOKE OF THE DAY
When is it okay to beat up a dwarf?
When he stand next to your girlfriend and tells her her hair smells nice.
