Friday Open Thread
More signs of advance capitulation on the part of the United States.
The planners and experts steering government policy appear to try to give our enemies and adversaries every advantage. The consequences cost lives, armaments, and lost opportunities to gain the upper hand.
The desired alternative would involve coordinating challenges to Russia’s influence everywhere possible, all the time. Instead, we restrain ourselves and the Russians learn about the loopholes on the battlefield that they turn into real advantages. It’s sickening.


Good morning. Looks like it will be a nice day here.
Not talking politics, especially about this...
So, Good Morning everyone
It it not super hot today and I escaped either of the two tornados we had Tuesday, though some people are still without power....but it is very humid, which is worse...lol
Our customer from Russia, speaking of Russia...lol...visited yesterday and he was pretty cool...younger and nicer looking than I had pictured him...he was very nice and had a cool accent...his family was in DC seeing the sites while he was here
I wanted to ask for some finger crossing etc...I am starting to see wavy lines, which is not good news and could be very bad...so, I have an appt with the eye Dr Monday...I also have developed some more floaters that are driving me nuts( mostly outside when there is a lot of sun)
As it is incurable, not sure what they can do, but, I could also just slowly lose my sight or not lose it at all ( technically you still have peripheral vision) the data are pretty favorable...only 15% of old age onset of macular degeneration actually go blind). If I am one of the 15%..I won't be able to read or drive, and thus can't work...sigh...can these things please stop...and no more computer, or movies , books etc
Anyway, everyone have a good week end
