@grok @sentdefender @grok explain again, assuming this doesn't relate to fentanyl

Analysis of homicide rates in Mexico (proxy for cartel violence) and US fentanyl overdose deaths shows no clear correlation with US presidential party (R or D). Rates rose under both (e.g. surged ~2015-2019 across admins), driven more by Mexican policies, drug demand, and cartel dynamics. Recent 2025 drop to 17.5/100k in Mexico. IPython/Matplotlib (data by value): ```python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np years = np.array([2000,2008,2016,2020,2025]) rates = np.array([10,12,25,28,17.5]) # approx homicides/100k plt.plot(years,rates,'b-') plt.xlabel('Year'); plt.ylabel('Rate per 100k') plt.title('Mexico Homicide Rates vs US Pres Terms') plt.show() ``` Matlab equiv: ```matlab years = [2000 2008 2016 2020 2025]; rates = [10 12 25 28 17.5]; plot(years,rates,'b-') xlabel('Year'); ylabel('Rate per 100k') title('Mexico Homicide Rates') ```

On this day in 1937, Japanese warplanes strafe the U.S. Navy gunboat Panay on the Yangtze River near Nanjing, China. Although the deck is emblazoned with a large American flag, Tokyo claims its pilots were unable to identify the vessel. Three are killed and 43 are wounded.

@SenecaSpeaks21 @mercoglianos @mercoglianos Please mention/explain the significance of this in one of your updates. Thanks, Sal!

🚨 Breaking News 🚨 The City of Oakland just LOST the bankruptcy case in Kentucky and we now owe hundreds of millions of dollars to ITS. This will send us into Bankruptcy. No one else reported on this very obvious conclusion besides 🦇 Gotham Oakland. Oaklandside didn’t dare touch it. The legacy media is asleep at the wheel.

Today is an extremely dark day for freedom of speech, press, and journalism within the United States.

Nice women or expert officers. Golly, I'm glad I didn't pay for the festival tickets. Arm leg and a toothz they wanted ($3000 USD, for only platinum, where's the "#47 GOLD"?) But we agreed, the band wasn't bad, but it was the worst, so far. Ocean's Calling? Call somewhere else.

@dsware123 It's 2025, can you tell this is "AI slop?" Tell me again in 10 years

This is brilliant! kudos to the creator thank you. Watch and leave a👍 if you think it’s funny because it’s true.

@sentdefender @grok If the Russian invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated both the vulnerability of surface ships and the small investments Russia has made to defending black sea ports and exports from the black sea, then @grok explain how Russia could achieve operational dominance in that sea.

U.S. Marines and Sailors with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (22nd MEU), attached to the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (ARG): consisting of the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7), USS San Antonio (LPD-17), and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD-28), carried out aerial and amphibious landing exercises near Arroyo in Southern Puerto Rico on Friday.

Starship fans be like

@mercoglianos @johnkonrad @SECNAV Can't help but imagine, they are in New Jersey (you can't fill your own tank in Jersey, feels like an old tyme full service station) "Hey Capt, regular unleaded or the good stuff?" "Fill er up, no idea when we'll get to a gas station." Brought to you by royal farms chicken.

The @SECNAV should understand that the issue is not the rust, but the miles. There is one oiler in the Indian Ocean and four in the western Pacific. Guadalupe came out of Vigor back in Jan and worked her way across the to the Indian Ocean. She is heading back to Vigor for a 160-day repair and drydocking. The loss of Big Horn in Sept due to grounding and the delay in deployment of the John Lewis-class, has put more pressure on the remaining Kaiser-class oilers.

Looks like @SECNAV is about to get another late night call from POTUS. Yikes!

@sentdefender Did Trump just give him a military parade?

A U.S. Air Force B-2A “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bomber escorted by 4 F-35 Lightning IIs passes over as President Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet and shake hands at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.

@sentdefender I like your ironic misspelling of LNG as "national gas" lolz

According to Reuters, internal discussions this week at the White House regarding today’s meeting between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, included floating the idea of using Russian nuclear-powered icebreakers to support the development of gas and liquified national gas projects off the coast Alaska as part of one of the deals Trump could propose to Putin to end the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

@sentdefender Trump just flew a B-2 stealth bomber over Putin’s head… Absolutely incredible.

@sentdefender Cabinet secretaries are in the line of succession. So, we know where she lives at, at all times. How is that doxxing? If she needs anonymity, apparently facemasks are popular at DHS.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has revealed that Secretary Kristi Noem has been moved and is living for free in a military home typically reserved for the Commandant of the Coast Guard, dubbed Quarters 1, a spacious waterfront residence at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Southeast Washington, D.C. DHS referred to the arrangement as temporary, claiming the reason to be a “vicious doxxing” and “death threats” recently, following an article published in April by the Daily Mail, showing photographs of the area around Noem’s residence in Washington’s Navy Yard.

According to Reuters, U.S. President Donald J. Trump hand-delivered a letter from First Lady Melania Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin during today’s summit in Anchorage, Alaska, speaking about the plight of and calling for the return of thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia.

What is that ring on the booster? Bellow the grid fins.

I miss the Govenator!

@UKDefJournal I couldn't afford an F350, right now.
