The UK got hit with another terrorist attack!
Thanks to EWS for the link!

Well wake the fuck up people! This shit is not normal! It's past time for people to demand action to keep these types of incidents from happening.
But they won't.
Instead we will hear people talk about these being relatively few in number. We will hear comparisons of these murders to inner city homicide where thugs kill thugs (natural fucking selection at work) instead of people acknowledging the problem.
Terrorism is a clear and present danger and it is practiced by a certain group of people.
When the gang epidemic hit, we cut loose on Crips and Bloods, when bootlegging hit we went after rural whites, when the mafia was raging we went after Italians.
Now we have terrorism but we don't want to do the obvious thing and target the group from which the perpetrators hail?
Simply amazing.

Europe Reckons With Its Depleted Armies...fiscal sanity requires our allies to pay more.
via Wall Street Journal.
Across NATO’s European member states, shortfalls riddle land, sea, and air forces following years of defense cutbacks, leading officials to acknowledge that U.S. President Donald Trump has a point that spending has to rise.The ugly truth? Europeans are more concerned with global warming than they are with their own defense. Even uglier? The news media, the establishment and others have given cover to Europeans over Trump's complaint (he's only echoing past administrations) that they need to pay their fair share.
What do we see instead? Check out this Dept of Defense press release...
The Defense Department's fiscal year 2018 budget request includes nearly $4.8 billion for the European Reassurance Initiative to enhance deterrence and defense and improve the readiness of forces in Europe, the U.S. European Command director of strategy, plans and policy said today.Yeah.
Air Force Maj. Gen. David W. Allvin held a telephone briefing with reporters, speaking from Eucom headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
ERI funding for next fiscal year is up $1.4 billion over fiscal 2017, he said, noting that the funding increase will support the deterrence of future Russian aggression and malign influence through increased joint air, sea and land force responsiveness and expanded interoperability with combined multinational forces.
"This is one of our nation's commitments to Europe, and it demonstrates our strong dedication to the trans-Atlantic bond and the defense of our allies," Allvin said.
After Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2014, the United States authorized ERI at $985 million in 2015, $789 million in 2016 and $3.4 billion in 2017. Operation Atlantic Resolve, funded partly by ERI, demonstrates to NATO allies and the world the 'U.S. intent to fulfill NATO treaty commitments to respond to threats against allies.
Drink in those figures.
4.8 billion dollars and the lives of US servicemen to defend Europe. Not the US but Europe.
We are defending 1st world nations that have a higher standard of living than we do! Does that make sense?
Fiscal reality requires that we DEMAND our allies pay more and for those funds to be reprogrammed for our OWN defense needs. How many programs are being deferred that can make use of that funding now! The ACV, the AMPV, speeding up the JLTV, new service rifles, new tankers....everything could be sped up if we used that money for modernizing our own forces.
Our current strategy is not only unwise but its downright foolish.
To understand the current Russia vs. US mess we have to learn about the events of Feb 22, 2014.
I've been trying to understand the current Russia vs. US mess and why the "neo-cons", national security establishment, establishment Republicans/Democrats and globalists are all trying so hard to nix what should be a common sense alliance with Russia to end the greater threat of ISIS.
My question. How did the US end up supporting Neo-Nazis and Islamic Jihadist in Europe? Why is this game being played at the expense of an alliance that could see ISIS killed (finally), stability brought to the Middle East (Russia could easily keep Assad in his cage if they so desired) and Iran at bay (same here...Russia could easily keep Iran from overstepping).
Additionally it would force the Chinese to reassess their stances from the South China sea, to their dealings with N. Korea to even their support of Pakistan.
In short I have to wonder.
What is the reality behind the Ukraine crisis that we would ignore the possibility of achieving a more stable world?
I thought that it all began with the events of Feb 22, 2014 when the President of Ukraine was overthrown after refusing to sign "Euromaidan".
I was wrong.
This rabbit hole goes deep. We will never know the manuevering that went on behind the scenes but here are some BASIC primers on the subject. How basic? Just some Wikipedia entries that give a quick overview. Be warned though. It becomes obvious just from these entries (and I don't know the views/leaning of the people who wrote them) that the tangled mess that is Ukraine has everyone covered in shit.
Yeah. That's just a quick primer and it doesn't even begin to touch on the subject properly (in my opinion).
We're seeing superpower games being played here and the public is being fed propaganda by both sides.
The one thing that gives any clarity is the Nuland mess. That was the first time Russia used intercepted communications to expose a US operation. I believe that to be an inflection point in this ciris. This is when the situation spun out of control.
My political leanings tend to label Nuland as a villain in this crisis and many seem to agree with that thinking. Below is an article via Consortium News by Robert Parry...
The Mess that Nuland MadeFull story here.
As the Ukrainian army squares off against ultra-right and neo-Nazi militias in the west and violence against ethnic Russians continues in the east, the obvious folly of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy has come into focus even for many who tried to ignore the facts, or what you might call “the mess that Victoria Nuland made.”
Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs “Toria” Nuland was the “mastermind” behind the Feb. 22, 2014 “regime change” in Ukraine, plotting the overthrow of the democratically elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych while convincing the ever-gullible U.S. mainstream media that the coup wasn’t really a coup but a victory for “democracy.”
To sell this latest neocon-driven “regime change” to the American people, the ugliness of the coup-makers had to be systematically airbrushed, particularly the key role of neo-Nazis and other ultra-nationalists from the Right Sektor. For the U.S.-organized propaganda campaign to work, the coup-makers had to wear white hats, not brown shirts.
So, for nearly a year and a half, the West’s mainstream media, especially The New York Times and The Washington Post, twisted their reporting into all kinds of contortions to avoid telling their readers that the new regime in Kiev was permeated by and dependent on neo-Nazi fighters and Ukrainian ultra-nationalists who wanted a pure-blood Ukraine, without ethnic Russians.
Any mention of that sordid reality was deemed “Russian propaganda” and anyone who spoke this inconvenient truth was a “stooge of Moscow.” It wasn’t until July 7 that the Times admitted the importance of the neo-Nazis and other ultra-nationalists in waging war against ethnic Russian rebels in the east. The Times also reported that these far-right forces had been joined by Islamic militants. Some of those jihadists have been called “brothers” of the hyper-brutal Islamic State.
Though the Times sought to spin this remarkable military alliance neo-Nazi militias and Islamic jihadists as a positive, the reality had to be jarring for readers who had bought into the Western propaganda about noble “pro-democracy” forces resisting evil “Russian aggression.”
Perhaps the Times sensed that it could no longer keep the lid on the troubling truth in Ukraine. For weeks, the Right Sektor militias and the neo-Nazi Azov battalion have been warning the civilian government in Kiev that they might turn on it and create a new order more to their liking.
My question. How did the US end up supporting Neo-Nazis and Islamic Jihadist in Europe? Why is this game being played at the expense of an alliance that could see ISIS killed (finally), stability brought to the Middle East (Russia could easily keep Assad in his cage if they so desired) and Iran at bay (same here...Russia could easily keep Iran from overstepping).

Gunner Wade! Suppressors are cool but let the Dawgs paint their rifles!
Gunner Wade has been a breath of fresh air on Marine Corps social media. He's filling a void that many have had. A senior Marine talking about warfighting...about making the individual Marine more lethal...about becoming a shock troop ninja hybrid that comes from the sea and air and slays all enemies before them.
Hold that thought for a second.
Take a look at the pic above. Black gloves are a no-no, and I expect the young Devil Dawg to be corrected by his squad leader or platoon sgt. But even if that error is corrected he's still totting a black rifle.
That's just bad ju-ju.
Allowing Marines to paint their rifles is a simple fix. We don't even need them to be painted in multiple colors in some type of pattern. Just take the Coyote Brown that is now a Marine Corps base color in all environments and apply it to the service rifle. Cerakote-ing it would be ideal but just a properly applied rattle can job that has to be touched up every now and then would be a great stop gap.
So back to you Gunner Wade. Suppressors are cool but let the Dawgs paint their rifles! Suppress both sound and visual cues. On the future battlefield it could be a lifesaver.
So a severed Trump head does not denote violence?
Thanks to Eric H. for the link!
Wow. This lawyer is on some seriously potent, new age crack if she actually believes what she said in the above video. A severed Trump head does not denote violence????
Griffin really should have left this alone. This attempt to "fight back" will only see this controversy drag on.
She really screwed this up. She got bad advice. She dug this hole deeper.
Griffin has to understand the reality of the world. We all have "oh shit" moments and even though those moments can be forgiven, the consequences of those actions still play out.
Because of this news conference she pushed her comeback back about 6 months.
