Eric Swalwell Pushes Jail Time for Americans Who Won’t Hand over ‘Assault Weapons’
Remember our pal Eric, a Democrat Congress-Critter from California? His claim to fame, other then being Eric Swalwell, was to suggest on a tweet last Autumn, responding to a gun rights enthusiast who said the Democrats’ proposal to confiscate or buy semi-automatic rifles would result in “war” due to resistance from the gun owners.

The Russians Now Have a Hypersonic Missile
I’m only posting this now, because Vlad Putin is Russian Orthodox and the Orthodox Church doesn’t celebrate Christmas until January. And that’s getting close. Vlad is pawing the ground and snorting. He can now claim a successful launch of a hypersonic missile (a/k/a a glide vehicle, per the story) as his ultimate answer to the […]
Nuke Nerd Alert!
It seems that Vlad Putin is taking a stab at using nuclear-powered rockets to send stuff to Mars.

And the Beat Goes On….
Russia is nervous about the Norks? So it seems. It appears, per this Reuters article, that Russia’s somewhat doveish approach to Norkiland is not doing so well. The Russian government is continuing trade with the Norks, but in a more moderated way. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-northkorea-trade-idUSKCN1B81BO According to Galushka’s statement, the Russian government is sticking to the guidelines […]
We Gonna Show You!!
It’s the usual stuff with Norkiland: we gonna bump up missiles, we gonna launch ‘em at you, we gonna show you we Da Big Cheeses. We gonna bomb Guam!!! So the threats toward Guam didn’t work.
