  • Gee . . . Thanks, SCoaMF

    Iran recently tested a new and highly sophisticated air defense system.  They obtained the system from Russia.

    The system is based on Russia’s S-300 missile.  The NATO designation for the original system is the SA-10; since the original version was first deployed in the late 1970s, Iran doubtless received a more modern variant.  The first linked article is unclear regarding precisely which S-300 variant Iran received.

    The S-300/SA-10 system and its descendants are quite capable.  They are regarded as some of the best currently-deployed air defense missile systems in the world.

    So, why do I say – completely sarcastically, of course – “Gee . . . thanks, SCoaMF” in the title above?  Read on.

    It seems that Iran and Russia signed the contract for Iran to purchase the system back in 2007; the system was to cost Iran $800 million.  However, international sanctions associated with Iran’s nuclear program prevented delivery.

    The US-Iran nuclear      giveaway      “deal” removed those sanctions. That in turn allowed Russia to deliver the system to Iran last year.

    And anyone with the common sense to pour p!ss out of a boot knew a priori exactly that would happen.

    In other words:  the previous       gang of utterly naïve imbeciles screwing things up “by the numbrs” in  DC        Administration in effect approved delivery of that system to Iran.  So in the event of hostilities with Iran US military aviators will now have to face one of the most sophisticated SAM threats in the world – a threat that wasn’t present prior to the US-Iran nuclear      giveaway       “deal”.

    Oh, and that $40 billion in Iranian assets we released in the Iran nuclear     giveaway      “deal”?  That was 50 times more than the $800 million cost of Iran’s new S-300 system.  So not only did the previous       DC gang of feckless fools        Administration green light installation of Iran’s new SAM system, they also reimbursed Iran for buying the damn thing – 50 times over.

    Hell, the $1.7 billion cash ransom the US paid Iran to release 4 US citizens a bit more than a year ago alone paid for Iran’s new system – more than twice!

    I know I’m repeating myself but I’ll say it again anyway:  “Gee . . . thanks, SCoaMF.”

  • When You Have Naïve and Incompetent Leadership . . .

    . . . you often get crap like this.

    Obama revamp of federal bureaucracy created ‘widespread’
    security policies violations, watchdog says

    The Federal agency involved? GSA.  The “watchdog”?  The GSA IG.

    And to add insult to injury: the worst abuses occurred well after the previous      DC clown krewe      Administration admitted it had “screwed the pooch” on IT security and allowed Chinese hackers to obtain 4.2 individuals’ PII as part of the OPM security breach. (The actual number of individuals whose PII was stolen by hackers linked to China was later determined to have been five times that – roughly 21.5 million.)

    The linked article is a bit longish, but IMO reading it is worth the time.  It should p!ss you off.

    It’s nice to finally have responsible adults in charge. At least maybe we won’t see this kind of disregard for security policy and procedures again any time soon.

  • Bound to happen…?

    Normally, I try to ignore these things, because at some point, they become ridiculous.  However, with the fussing and foot-stamping from the all-inclusive PC crowd coddling the LGBTPs&Qs, and keeping in mind that the military now has a ‘no bar to enlistment’ ruling, when someone (P) sent this news to me, I thought it was a joke.  Then I did a little digging, got a ‘403’ error message, and found another source, and it is true.  Paris Green is not a chick.

    Unfortunately, Paris Green gave in to more base instincts when s/he was incarcerated, and accommodated willing [fellow] women prisoners, and was subsequently separated from them.

    Since this is a bone of contention with some people, when it applies to the closed type of environment commonly found in the military, I have a few things to say.

    1 – It’s not my business whether you stand or sit. It is my business if you are claiming TG under false pretenses just to get into the women’s restrooms, and that includes the very real lack of privacy on board ships and in the field in a combat zone.  In plain English, you are not a chick with a dick. You are either an adult male or female human, and if you’re a guy and there’s no emergency you don’t belong there, any more than I belong in the men’s room.  And I almost went there once at work, because someone borrowed my restroom key and forgot to return it.

    2 – Yes, the Manning nonsense does raise its shaggy head. S/he expected to get the freebies medical treatment and that is just wrong. I do not think the already over-burdened taxpayer should be expected to pay for your choices.  It should never have been brought up in the first place.

    3 – Since there are currently active duty men and women who made the decision and took care of it themselves before signing up or after leaving the service, I have no issue with them. It is those who expect the military to treat them with kid gloves that are the issue, in my view. Either be a part of it as you are, if you want my respect, or don’t sign up.

    4 – Above all, don’t get in my face about it, because I don’t care. It’s your problem, not mine. The lack of common decency and common sense is so rampant now, it’s disgusting.  I’m not referring to strangers who stop to help someone at an accident. I’m speaking to this desperate need to shock people by saying and doing things that draw attention to what should be a private matter.  You aren’t happy being you? It’s your problem. You’re supposed to be a grown-up. Take care of it yourself.

     

  • Flori-Duh. Again.

    No comment necessary – except perhaps to note that today is “hump day” . . . . (smile)

    Florida police hunt woman, man after courthouse sex act

    The video of the “encounter” – originally posted by the “lady” in question to Twitter (!) – has apparently been removed. Thankfully.

    Sheesh.

  • More Idiotic Progressive/SJW Complaints on Display

    Once again, courtesy of Heatstreet.

    Apparently, the libidiot SJW set claims that many newer animated and/or children’s films are racist and/or sexist.  Those films deemed by SJWs to be racist or sexist – or both – include Sausage Party (decidedly not a children’s film); The Secret Lives of Pets; and Disney’s latest, Sing.  Follow the links to see the details of their ridiculous claims.

    Not to be outdone, some British SJW­­­­s claim that many if not all Disney children’s movies are racist, sexist, or both – and have convinced British educational authorities to approve lesson plans teaching that to kids in British schools.

    Seriously:  are these fools capable of walking and chewing gum simultaneously?

     

  • Idiotic Progressive/SJW Complaints on Display

    Courtesy of Heatstreet.  These are excellent examples of abject stupidity.

    The truly sad part?  These ignorant, “special little snowflake” fools actually believed what they said when they complained.

  • More Vegan Idiocy, UK-Style

    Well, it seems as if the vegan community in the UK have their knickers in a knot again.  But this time around, it’s not about the normal vegan “causes du jour”.

    This time, they’re apparently “outraged” over the UK’s new 5-pound banknote.  They’re up in arms because the new polymer banknote “is not vegan”.

    Seriously.

    It seems that small amounts of animal products – tallow, specifically – are used during the manufacturing process.  So that makes the new notes “unacceptable.”

    Silly me.  I always thought banknotes were money – not food.  But apparently vegas must eat them.

    Talk about yer “green” diet!  I guess I need to learn more about vegan    idiocy    practices.  (smile)

    IMO the best response was from one guy in the UK.  He’s offered any vegan who finds the new 5-pound unacceptable the opportunity to get rid of those “icky” banknotes in exchange for a pound – presumably a pound coin, which contains no animal products.

    No word on how many takers he’s had so far.  (smile)

  • Equal Opportunity . . .

    . . . stupidity.  Gender-wise, that is.

    I wrote yesterday about the fool caught driving naked and “wired” (literally) down in Florida.  Well, today we apparently have the ladies’ response in kind, courtesy of what appears to be “selfie” video by a lady from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    Topless mystery woman the most distracting driver ever?

    “Loquita”, indeed.  (smile)
