We should ban tractors! They replaced 30 hardworking dudes with one guy and a diesel engine. Absolutely devastating for shovel-based employment. Or… fuckin maybe replacing labor with productivity has always been the point.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

Ok, this has to be one of the most "look at this!" posts I have seen about this situation. Do you know what low-observable means? It is often misconstrued as "invisible". What does low-observability primarily counter? Every pilot who flies the F-22 and F-35 knows the constraints and limitations of LO, but sometimes there are situations that present themselves when you least expect it. That being said, the AI video proves nothing. Looking at that "evidence" based the size of the missile interceptor compared to the aircraft (considering the the intercept vehicle and the rocket motor plume in "IR"...which means a direct assent intercept) would have a high Pk (probability of kill) for total destruction...but the aircraft safely returned to base. Not sure why @JenGriffinFNC is following this guy.

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Vegas sticker shock catches visitor off guard. A simple room service order came with a surprisingly high bill, highlighting pricing concerns in tourist-heavy areas.

An F-18 landing on an aircraft carrier via a cockpit view is the video that you needed to see but didn’t know about.

@zerohedge Well, they are. Continued development of long-range SSMs becomes a threat. People often misconstrue that a threat to the US is just a threat to the homeland. There is a broader context that includes threat to US forces.

@BrandonStraka Not sure why you are promoting this video from the @RT propagandist, who ignored the fact that the IDF sent a notification that the bridge was going to be taken out.

Journalist alleges targeted strike after injury. He says shrapnel was embedded in his arm and claims the incident was a deliberate attack, calling it a war crime.

@Chesschick01 Unfortunately, Democrats would call this racist, ableist, misogynist, transphobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc...so ultimately it would only be white, straight, men dunked in the cage.

I spent a whole day visiting the Seattle daycares featured in my @NRO article with @abigailandwords about inexplicable spending by @waDCYF . Most did not answer when I knocked. If there were children inside, thick curtains blocked any natural sunlight for them. Neighbors were unaware of daycares a one-minute walk away. Confused residents said that they had no knowledge of a daycare at their address, to which Washington State paid nearly $500,000 last year. WA State Attorney General Nick Brown said that he would focus on prosecuting journalism like this instead of investigating welfare fraud. The State Auditor stated that DCYF records are so bad that millions of dollars over the past four years have been un-auditable. This violates the terms of their federal funding. This video is only half of the footage we captured. Stay tuned.

@AFPatriot2 @Reuters That's the trick, usually some far left organizations such as codepink or media with mostly leftist audience such as NPR takes the polls that overrepresent the opinion of the politically biased and ideologically hostile opposition to whatever a Republican administration does

Israel launched a fresh wave of attacks on Iran on March 20, a day after President Trump told it not to repeat its strikes on Iranian natural gas infrastructure, which sharply escalated the US-Israeli war on Iran reut.rs/4sq2uJ8

Is everyone else also exhausted of Trump’s lies? Today he said, “We have nobody even shooting at us.” Earlier in the day, Iran shot down one of our F-35s.
