Parler Social Media Site...a warning to the news media...to include Fox News...

 


I heard about this thing during a "Kim Commando" radio minute.  PARLER is the fastest growing media site in America today. According to Kim its a warning to the news media. She said that the US is hopelessly divided and that PARLER is serving as an alternative to Twitter and she's wondering if this is an opening for new conservative sites to pop up.

My concern is a bit more broad.

What happens if we become divided not only values wise, but also in our intake of information?  What happens when the old barons of media are not only NOT trusted but despised (you could argue we're already there).

How do we operate even basic institutions if everyone has a tailored viewpoint of what's actually happening (again, you could argue we're already there)?

We are truly headed towards having two nations in one.  One conservative and the other liberal. How do we square that away?  It's almost the low level equivalent of SECTARIAN warfare!  Let's use a stark example to explain the vast differences.  Instead of labeling it liberal vs conservative, consider if it was Christian vs Muslim!

That's how different the viewpoints are.

Regardless of your affiliation you should be concerned.  We're headed toward a real rough piece of ground.

Happy Veterans Day!

 


To all my readers that are Vets.  No false platitudes.  No false praise.  You guys raised your right hand (regardless of nation...so called friend or foe) and did what many of your fellow citizens wouldn't.

You swore to defend your nation.

I salute you all.

Thanks for your service.

Chinese Desert Wolf Series Unmanned Vehicle



 

The new Armoured Vehicle CENTAURO 2 hits the market with a full suite of the most advanced Leonardo technologies.

 


You begin to realize exactly how big this bad boy is when you see it with a standard IFV turret attached. Maybe its perspective but I'm wondering if starting with a dedicated Mobile Gun System and then adapting it to being an IFV might be the way to go.  It appears lower profile than the other wheeled IFVs hitting the market...but again it could be an illusion.

Election Comment Post. 10 Nov 2020 - Biden asks Trump voters to give him a chance.

Comments about the election go here.  Trying to swing back to normal broadcasting.

Sidenote.  Prayers for my Aunt that just passed after fighting cancer.  Great great great lady.  She will be missed.  Why would God put such a wonderful person thru the trauma of cancer?  This kinda shit tests my faith.

Back on track.  Biden says that he wants Trump voters to give him a chance (word about his executive orders gives me pause on that though).  Do you think he will unify the country or are we hopelessly divided?
