US warship and multiple commercial ships were attacked yesterday in the Red Sea by Houthi rebels from Yemen.
US warship fired back in self defence.

You'd think that by now all commercial ships would've been turned into "warships with a commercial flavour" or "commercial warships towing trailers".

One of the duties my father had on his Liberty merchant ship was to assist the Navy gunners on the anti aircraft guns during WWII.

Justice O'Connor who just died was an amazing lady. She attended Stanford and did very well and she thought she was going to have a great career, but after college she could not find a job. So, she worked for free, and she got into Public Service, and then Reagan ended up putting her on the Supreme Court and she was the first Female Supreme Court Justice. May she rest in peace. Certainly she inspired many women, and she also inspired the men as a human being, certainly she inspires me with her story.

If you cannot get paid to do what you want to do, then do it for free, and sometimes good things happen. If you want to serve humanity then go out there and serve humanity even if you are not getting paid. God used her.

When Mother Teresa first started then she was just a homeless beggar like the other beggars, it was only after the Catholic Church and others started giving her funding, etc, that she was able to do more to serve God. But, Mother Teresa jumped in with both feet and she was a homeless beggar at first, but God used her.

Today Doctor Charles Stanley said that if what you are doing is not bringing you closer to God, then do not do it. Millions of people are in debt, and they are just slaves to debt, and they are unhappy, and they are not serving God like they should be, and they need to have discipline in the ways of God, and then God will bless them.

Justice O'Connor had discipline in the ways of God, she studied hard and went to a great college, and when she could not get a job then she started serving God for free. She started doing Public Service for free. God worked in her life, and she was the first Female Supreme Court Justice in the history of the United States.

Salute,

Tony V.

Justice OConnor cast the most impactful vote of our lifetime.

Her vote in Bush v Gore brought us 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, Guantanamo Bay and extreme rendition Black sites where captives were tortured and held without charge.
The Financial collapse of 2008.

Etc,etc, etc.


LOL.  yeah without her vote it could have been a lot worse.

America was built by people who came here from all over the world, they brought their dreams here.

But it is true that we can work to make Mexico nicer, and Colombia nicer, etc, so they will enjoy their home nations.

China and India have overpopulation and we are their over-flow, and it is good because we need the new people in Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. And we need to put a new coat of paint on our Ghettos and we need to build Libraries and coffee shops and more schools, etc.

And of course the Beautiful Russian Women are welcome here, they can be nurses, etc, and the refugees from Ukraine, etc, they are all welcome here.

Salute,

Tony V.

That was before the country became full, bursting at the seams actually.
Roads are carparks, hospitals etc are overrun, and American kids are being kicked out of their footy/exercise etc stadiums/parks so asylum-seeking immigrants can be set up in camps there instead.

Now that was a cargo ship!

Youtube has a video;

'How a Cargo Ship Helped Win WW2: The Liberty Ship Story'

Today similar ships [low cost construction] ... could be fitted with surface to air missile systems to shoot down ballistic missiles and drones of the Houthi rebels.


Ballistics missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck three commercial ships Sunday in the Red Sea,

/cont'd

...while a U.S. warship shot down three drones in self-defense during the hourslong assault, the U.S. military said. The Iranian-backed Houthis claimed two of the attacks.

Time to turn Yemen/Houthi rebels into the "4th July".

Perfect for all your imaginary enemies. It will keep you from accidentally shooting some guy of Chinese descent who just wanted directions.

A dozen or so Neo Nazi men all dressed in black, top to toe black, including their faces well covered.marched thru the rural town of Ballarat, Victoria state bambuworld.
...holding a placard "Australia is for White people" and shouting something about Jews that wasn't very nice.

Not I...I'm for everyone equal, with a White majority.
Not white supremacy.

Nothing (except the White people words) that wasn't on display from others in recent times, including covered faces.

Hillary Clinton on the lack of Women Groups speaking out against the atrocities of Hamas against Israeli women.


It is outrageous just that some who claim to stand for justice are closing their eyes and their hearts to the victims of Hamas.


Sheryl Sandberg , formerly of FaceBook,

politics are blinding us to something that is completely obvious, condemning Hamas for rape and other sexual violence committed against Jewish women on Oct. 7.

Medical reports on the atrocities in addition to rape and murder of women.


Those held captive were subject to starvation, to beating, to sexual abuse. They were being held in inhumane sanitary conditions. Extremely severe psychological abuse was inflicted on them, including separation from family members, separation of siblings, separation of children from their mothers. They were held in solitary confinement and spent long days in total darkness until they developed severe hallucinations.
Children were forced to watch brutal videos. They were under constant threats by weapons and threats to harm them even after they were released. They refer to the forced use of psychiatric drugs and other substances.


And the organizations in the USA that  remain silent.



Planned Parenthood
Womens March
Democratic Women Caucus
Emilys List
NOW

A massive number of young leftists in the West today, seemingly encouraged by many in the media, academia etc, and politicians, are seemingly embracing with *all* their hearts and minds beliefs that will only ruin their future lives forever.

Seemingly demonising everything from "old people", "Israel", "Jews",  "farmers", "White people, particularly males", "'sensible transition' climateers", and "Christians",.....to "people on the Right side of politics".

Doomed they surely are.

"Keep on marching"... very bad idea, it will only see them go off a cliff.

I left my house today, in my petrol driven car, did my neighbour a favour.

More than one car rental company has reportedly dumped a particular electric car from their fleets, citing 'massive depreciation cost' etc.
Yes, the gloss is fast wearing off your electric car dream.
That guy in Britain, on YouTube, who drives and tests them, and evaluates the electric car ownership experience in everyday life, is very unimpressed with the whole thing.
