US to build fleet of laser-armed ‘Trump class’ warships

The US will commission a new “Golden Fleet” of heavily armed Navy ‘battleships’ named after Donald Trump.

The president announced that the laser-armed vessels would be the “largest battleships in the history of the world” to maintain his country’s military supremacy.

He said construction on the Trump Class USS Defiant – the first US warship to be named after a sitting president – would begin soon, and it was expected to be operational within two and a half years.

There’s a big milestone coming up for a lot of families this year: first divorced Christmas.

Something VERY Fishy Is Going on With the So-Called MAGA ‘Split’ Over Israel

Once in Tampa Bay, I saw a big fat guy on a motorcycle. He was riding without a helmet — while chain-smoking cigarettes — and gripping a bag of Arby’s takeout.

That’s right: ARBY’S! (Gasp!) What a maniac!

I thought, “Wow, talk about not caring about your health even a little bit.”

Of course, it’s entirely possible that the guy was the pinnacle of health and fitness, with a lower cholesterol level than me. It’s possible he’ll live to 100, smoking Marlboros and gorging on Arby’s long after we’re all dead and buried.

You never know for sure.


Good read.

Do women deserve to feel safe on our streets, or don’t they?

Osman Azizov is out on bail. It cannot be, and yet, apparently, it is. Among the 14 charges against the 18-year-old Toronto man, and two alleged accomplices, are sexual assault with a weapon, attempted kidnapping, impersonating a police officer and unauthorized possession of at least one firearm.

It’s a close race, but the kidnapping allegations are perhaps the most disturbing — because who knows what might have been in store for the victims afterwards?
