Air Force wants to replace the world’s strongest bunker buster…

Cause the last ones
"obliterated"
Iran's nuclear sites right?
Makes perfect sense.
The Pentagon's missing missiles
The U.S. military is low on weapons.
"The Week" Late July Time frame
Can it restock before a major conflict breaks out?
No. No we cant.
We have screwed ourselves.
"What is the Pentagon running low on?
Drones, missiles, ammunition, nearly everything. Weapons shipments have strained U.S. stockpiles, particularly deliveries to Ukraine, which burned through a year's worth of American 155mm artillery in just eight weeks in 2022, and to Israel. This month, the Pentagon paused transfers to Ukraine of Patriot missiles, precision-guided rockets, howitzer rounds, and more while it assessed inventory (though President Trump partly reversed that order). Middle East skirmishes have also eaten up material. In the $1.5 billion campaign to protect Red Sea shipping against Yemen's Houthi rebels, the U.S. fired 125 Tomahawks and 155 standard missiles and had seven Reaper drones shot down. And the Houthis are a ragtag militia compared with the real threat: China. When the Center for New American Security gamed out war with China, the U.S. fired 90% of its anti-ship cruise missiles and 80% of its land-attack weapons in less than a week. We'd better hope the next conflict is short-term, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said in May, "because we don't have enough munitions to sustain a long-term fight."
(Hope isnt very much of a strategy there Tom)
"Can't the U.S. replace the weapons?
Not fast enough. The defense budget is about $850 billion a year, but 22% goes to military salaries, and the biggest chunk, 39%, is for operations and maintenance. Only about 17% goes toward weapons procurement. And even if the Pentagon wanted to spend more, the U.S. industrial base has atrophied since the end of the Cold War. At this point, it "may be incapable of meeting the munitions demand created by a potential future fight against a peer adversary," the Army Science Board said in a 2023 report. Defense analyst Mackenzie Eaglen, who co-authored that report, told The Atlantic that it's "a miracle the U.S. military has anything that blows up, ever." While companies are modernizing production, the process requires new equipment and skilled workers and will likely take years to complete. Shipbuilding, too, is lagging: The Navy had some 600 ships in 1987 and 300 now."
Why is shipbuilding lagging?
"The U.S. industry dried up. Thanks to 19th-century laws requiring that any voyage between two U.S. ports be made in a U.S. vessel, American shipbuilding was protected from international competition and lost its competitive edge. The U.S. did ramp up the building of naval and cargo ships during World War II but sold them off after the war and dismantled the shipyards. Because of high costs, red tape, and a loss of subsidies, the U.S. now produces almost no oceangoing commercial ships: just five in 2022, compared with China's 1,794. And the few military ships the U.S. has built tend to be insanely expensive. The Navy spent $22.5 billion to build three Zumwalt-class destroyers, for example, only to cancel the program because the gun on them would be too costly. Restoring U.S. shipbuilding will be a "generational project," said Jake Sullivan, national security adviser under President Joe Biden, since "we don't have the backbone of a healthy commercial shipbuilding base to rest our naval shipbuilding on top of."

I’m a cybersecurity CEO who advises over 9,000 agencies

not my fault people are staying in denial
"If you think your world is
nothing but evil confusion right now?
Just wait.
You havent seen anything yet.
And what is spoke of here?
It aint "comin",
it's here already."
I look like a cybersecurity CEO to you?
The Times of Israel 08/05/25
"The outlet (The Financial Times) notes that it was unable to identify the specific technologies that Iran was seeking from the Russian facilities, but says that one of the Iranian scientists, Soroush Mohtashami, is an expert on neutron generators — a component that can trigger detonation in some nuclear weapons."
(US and Israel are the ones that wanted a cease fire after we saw their missiles more than lived up to expectations. They still got a ton of em BTW. Iran is going to do everything they can to wipe Israel off the map. They took Mike Tysons barrage in the early rounds and now its a completely different ballgame.)
Cells have a second DNA repair toolbox for difficult cases
Phys.org 08/04/25
Yeah so come explain to me how the cell knew
it was going to need to be able to repair itself.
Explain how that evolved to me.
Explain how that is the result of any kinda random anything.
Ill give ya all day.
Shoot I'll give ya a week.
I tell ya what
I'll mark off as much time as you want.
Here me Dawkins et al?
THESES people...plz.
The unwillingness to change your position
in spite of a mountain of evidence to the contrary
makes you a member
of the extremists, elitist, cult of scientism.
Knuckledraggers...
Tech Worshipers Too
"When you think about the billions at stake and the radical transformation of lives across the world because of the eccentric vision of this group, how much more cult-y does it have to be for this to be a cult? Not much,"
"What do cultish and fundamentalist religions often do?" Mr. Epstein added. "They get people to ignore their common sense about problems in the here and now in order to focus their attention on some fantastical future."

Oh, you mean like the multiverse fairytale
where I get to be Elvis in another world, gotcha.
Hey, if Stephen Hawking can tell the Vatican the moon could have been made out of Bleu Cheese, he did, look it up, then anything is a possibility etc.)
The rise of cults,
in any form
(even if they be
scientific or technological
in nature)
has always been considered
is a sign of The End Times.
Bennett: Israel’s status in US
The Times of Israel 08/05/25
Luke 21:20-28
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
(Even those that hadn't been written at this time:
Book of Revelation)
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Perturbiation
In astronomy, perturbation is the complex motion of a massive body subjected to forces other than the gravitational attraction of a single other massive body.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Matthew 12:43-45
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
"The first state" refers to the Jewish people when rejecting the messiah.
"The last state" is now, here at the start of the end of this age and its worse now than it was when they rejected Christ.
Again, pretty simple, self-evident stuff.)
Some AI tools don’t understand biology yet

I wouldn't worry about it to much,
it's pretty apparent most

Arizona border city designated

Newsnation 08/07/25
All it talks about is how the military can arrest illegals on the NDA.
Fact is ANYBODY can be arrested by the military, not just illegals, it just gets overlooked.
The illegals have already quit coming for the most part, so why are we expanding this?
The "AI and Crypto Capital of the world"
is gonna need slave labor.
This is being done to keep you in
not keep "THEM" out.
100% argee with Honey on this
