It just doesn’t make sense to spend tens of millions of dollars on a weapon that can be disabled by munitions costing hundreds of dollars and knocked out by anti-tank missiles costing a few thousand.

Trump may have won the primary in South Carolina, but down in the weeds of the vote, he has some real problems. Haley won’t be a factor from now on. But her voters will, and Trump will ignore them at his peril.

The allegation that DA Willis had somehow benefitted financially from her private relationship with a lawyer she had hired to work in her office was a page right out of the Donald Trump playbook.
It’s never a good sign when countries start thinking about having nukes as a good thing. The nuclear clock just ticked a second closer to midnight.
Without the government and taxes that Trump and the Republican Party rail against every day, much of the technology we depend on today would have never happened.
