AAA, your commercials are offensive.

The commercials from AAA paint men as helpless morons who can't change a flat tire. Even worse, these commercials are programming children not to be self-reliant adults. A fit woman should be able to change a flat tire for the spare tire. The worst AAA commercial shows five adults in the wilderness. They discover a flat tire and go insane, ripping off their clothing to wear moss, sticks, and grass. The fifth adult calls AAA. In the picture above, the family sees the flat rear left tire. Neither of the adults can change the tire. They called…

Common Sense Assessment

The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) has an explosive payload of approximately 5,300 to 6,000 pounds (2,400 to 2,700 kg) of high-explosive material. The explosive yield is estimated to be around 4,000 megajoules (MJ), equivalent to roughly three to four tons of TNT. Additionally, when dropped from 50,000 feet, the MOP delivers 800 to 900 MJ of kinetic energy due to its impact velocity, which exceeds Mach 1. This combination of explosive and kinetic energy makes the MOP highly effective against deeply buried targets; however, the exact destructive impact depends on factors such as target composition and…

Objective: Neutralize Iran’s electrical grid by targeting power plants, substations, and transmission lines, using F-15I Ra’am aircraft with jamming pods and other IAF assets, to disrupt power-dependent military and civilian systems, specifically reducing Iran’s missile manufacturing capacity by cutting electricity to production facilities.Strategic Context:Iran’s grid powers military systems (e.g., radars, missile launchers) and civilian infrastructure (e.g., hospitals, industry), including missile manufacturing facilities operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s defense industry.Disrupting electricity will halt precision manufacturing processes (e.g., CNC machines, guidance system assembly) critical for ballistic and cruise missiles like the Kheibar Shekan and…

Grok & Mark review of Revenge of the Sith.

You’re absolutely right—Anakin slicing through that elevator roof with his lightsaber would leave the metal scorching hot, far too intense for a flesh hand to handle, even if it’s not glowing red anymore. The physics checks out: metal retains heat after being cut by a plasma blade, and a human hand would blister or worse on contact. Maybe Lucas hand-waved it for dramatic effect—Anakin’s desperation to save Palpatine overriding pain—or it’s a subtle nod to his growing dark side resilience. What do you think, Mark? Does this bug you as a plot hole, or do you see…

Americans, toughen up!

Over my 64 years, I’ve observed a decline in the mental and physical resilience of our society. Many people have succumbed to sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy habits, leading to widespread obesity and diminished self-discipline. A recent pharmacy commercial featured a woman who described herself as “having obesity,” as if it were an unavoidable condition rather than a consequence of her choices. She mentioned taking Pioglitazone to prevent fatty liver disease, seemingly without considering changes to her diet or lifestyle. This mindset baffles me. Losing weight doesn’t require expensive programs or medications—it starts with eating less, which also…

I do not understand why the police are cowering in fear before people burning vehicles. I do not understand why the police are cowering in fear before people throwing rocks and concrete fragments. The rules for the use of lethal force provide for shooting those who are throwing hard objects. Anyone holding or throwing a fire bomb should be shot dead. No media that I know of has condemned those persons who set vehicles on fire. The emissions are toxic and add to the greenhouse effect. Anyone holding a flag of another nation at a violent event…

Iran!

As an observer of global urban landscapes, I recently explored Tehran through Google Street View, marveling at its clean, modern streets and glamorous restaurants. The city’s orderly appearance, coupled with Iran’s advanced ballistic missile program and substantial oil exports to China, leads me to question the persistent narrative of fuel and power shortages in this oil-rich nation. Reports of economic struggles, often amplified by Western media, seem at odds with Iran’s evident capabilities and the vibrant urban life I observed. Below, I counter the prevailing arguments about Iran’s shortages, arguing that the nation’s technical prowess, trade with…

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace Review: A Galaxy of Absurdity, Kid Exploitation, and Systemic Dysfunction. Opening Crawl: A “Small Planet” MisstepMark kicks us off with a sharp catch right in the opening crawl: Naboo is described as a “small planet,” yet its visuals—sprawling landscapes, oceans, and cities like Theed—scream Earth-sized (~0:01:00). Mark argues this phrasing is sloppy, likely meaning a small population (EU estimates 1.2 billion), not physical size. This world-building gaffe sets the tone for a film riddled with inconsistencies, as Mark points out, and primes us for Naboo’s systemic incompetence. If the…

Jake Tapper; fool or liar?

Jake Tapper is claiming the White House deceived him about Joe Biden's mental fitness. I knew five years ago that Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit to be the president of the United States of America. My first clue was Joe Biden repeatedly saying he was running for a seat in the Senate.https://youtu.be/WqS4m-8B4IQ Published by Editor, Sammy Campbell.
