  • They are called different things. Some people call them cope cages. Others call them turtle tanks.

    In all, the idea is that if you have one of these meshes, drones cannot drop ordinance inside of the tank.

    Unfortunately, it is not recommended to do this, as a bigger target gives your position away.

    Some of the equipment or escape vectors are blocked off.

    But it also does nothing extra to protect the tank from the impact of Javelin missiles, or a tank round, a Bradley auto cannon. Or even from a drone that detonates over it.

    Though most drones don’t aim for the mesh, but the back of the tank, the tank tracks (Wheels), or the base of the turret which are the weak points.




  • Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?

    Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?

    Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.

    Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.

    The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.

    Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.

    Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.

    People had to uproot their lives and won’t feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.





  • Sigh… I am so tired of this gaslighting.

    Just because people criticize Biden does not mean they are a follower of the MAGA cult.

    Biden can do so much better then this. People want a reason to support him.

    Instead we are being blamed for Biden’s failures, because Biden chooses not to listen. While every time we try to change course we are being told we are anti-democratic. That we are trying to get Trump elected.

    Like the average voter has more power then the president.

    At this point, I am on no-body’s side, because no one is anti-genocide.



  • The jury haven’t even made a ruling yet… All they’ve done is listen…

    “You are going into a kangaroo court. There’s nothing more. Nothing less. There’d be absolutely no reason, no justification to do that whatsoever.” - Donald Trump Jr.

    Not even an excuse? , if the jury only has one side of the story that is what they are going with.

    If you aren’t even going to put your fists up and spend all your time arguing with the referee, you can’t complain when you get KO’ed





    • CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz,
    • Dell founder CEO Michael Dell,
    • Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman
    • Joshua Kushner
    • Brother of former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser on Middle East issues, Jared Kushner.
    • Other leaders, such as snack company founder Daniel Lubetzky,
    • hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb,
    • billionaire Len Blavatnik
    • real estate investor Joseph Sitt also said that they held a video meeting with Mayor Adams on April 26.

    That’s a lot of people that seem to stick their nose in other people’s business.

    Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows — an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted.”

    You are telling me that Eric Adams accepted a P.I. help when he could have literally walked to a police station. Then to a detective to solve the case?

    Unless. Private investigators were used as counter protestors, then Eric Adams would have a lot to answer for.





  • 7-2

    I bet, can guess who those 2 were without even looking.

    Justice Clarence Thomas reached back to the earliest days of the Constitution in his majority opinion to note that “the Bureau’s funding mechanism fits comfortably with the First Congress’ appropriations practice.”

    Hmmm… surprising… maybe public pressure does work.

    Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, Thomas’ colleagues in the court’s conservative bloc, dissented. “The Court upholds a novel statutory scheme under which the powerful Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) may bankroll its own agenda without any congressional control or oversight,” Alito wrote.

    No more powerful then the billionaires that get to bribe officials and run the show.
