[NBCnews] Scenarios like this event are why I stopped answering knocks on my door years ago. People I am willing to see already know how to reach me. The man who opened the door and let the stranger in is lucky he survived. Article states resident was watching football & completely unaware of the parade events.

Think about this...
He tells the home owner via video-Doorbell.
He is Homeless and waiting for UBER to pick him up.

Watch the video to observe him lying and improvising any way to get what he is after. I've had people like that knocking on my door years ago, probably they were not fresh from committing multiple felonies.

[NYPOST] A brilliant twisted Michigan woman has admitted to trying to hire a hitman on a fake website to kill her ex-husband for $5,000.
Wendy Lynn Wein, 52, faces at least nine years behind bars after pleading guilty to filling out a "service request form" on RentAHitman.com seeking help with "an issue" she had in July 2020, MLive.com reported.
Wein pleaded guilty to charges of solicitation of murder and using a computer to commit a crime on Nov. 12. A plea agreement caps her minimum sentence at 108 months and she will learn her fate in January, the outlet reported.
Michigan State Police said Wein reached out to the fictitious website that claims to "solve problems" and said her ex-husband was her intended target. The site’s owner then contacted cops, saying he was concerned the South Rockwood woman wanted her former flame dead, state police said.
An undercover trooper posing as a hitman later met Wein in a parking lot, where she offered to pay him $5,000 to kill her ex and provided him with a payment for travel expenses, authorities said.

This site ia actually a dummy test that was set up for use by a couple of 'white hat' hackers who do penetration and reliability exploits for clients. The took the site name because, like nobody would ever use this, right?
Turns out they had so many outside 'tickles' that they ended putting up a "service request" form on the front page, which they then forward on law enforcement.

A rookie mistake. Everyone knows RentAHitman.com is a honeypot. For actual hitman services, you want REDACTED.

I assume a website like this was 100% FBI. In the past I assumed it was to catch the bad guys before they commit crimes. Now I assume it is to protect Democrats caught in the net.
[FoxNews] The thieves targeted pharmacies and marijuana dispensaries in Oakland.
Mobs of thieves ransacked at least two dozen San Francisco area businesses over the weekend, as smash and grab incidents rage in the Bay Area.
"At least two dozen businesses were impacted," Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong told CBS SF. "Roving caravans of vehicles, targeting cannabis operations, retail shops, pharmacies, throughout the city of Oakland."
The mobs of thieves hit a handful of pharmacies and marijuana dispensaries in Oakland, including the Wellspring pharmacy that released surveillance video of the scene to the media. Police added that the mobs in Oakland fired 175 shots during the incidents, forcing officers to pull back to safe locations, The Mercury News reported.
[FoxNews] The affiliate pointed out that they did not yet know the identities and races of the perpetrators of the recent wave of thefts, before noting that they occurred following last Friday's acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.
It then cited Martin Reynolds, co-executive director of the Robert C. Maynard Institute of Journalism Education, who was reminded of Black residents in New Orleans that were described as looters for committing "crimes of survival" following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when they stole water, food and other supplies prior to receiving aid from the federal government.
"This seems like it's an organized smash and grab robbery. This doesn't seem like looting. We're thinking of scenarios where first responders are completely overwhelmed, and folks often may be on their own," Reynolds said.
[NYPOST] A classy raunchy Florida couple got busted for having oral sex in the back of a police car — with the man yelling "F—k Five-O!" during the recorded romp, according to an arrest warrant.
Florida Highway Patrol Troopers stopped Yordan Noa, 24, in the early hours of last Tuesday for allegedly driving his black BMW on a suspended license.
They offered to give his 24-year-old passenger, Summer Watkins, a ride to a gas station — but she apparently had other ideas.
"Baby, we should record an OnlyFans video back here," Watkins allegedly said to Noa, according to the warrant.
When Noa was also put in the back of the same squad car, Watkins brilliantly allegedly asked the cop, "What if I suck his d—k back here?"
"I told her that she could not do that," trooper J.D. Perez-Morales wrote — just for her to again allegedly ask, "Can I suck his d—k back here?"
After again saying no, the officer left them alone in the back of the car for a short period — only to later see what really went down when he reviewed the prisoner video footage, he wrote.
"Shortly after I closed the door, Mr. Noa whipped out his schlong took his penis out of his shorts" and Watkins "bent down and began to eat the baloney perform oral sex," Perez-Morales wrote.
Watkins "can be heard saying ’f—k Five-O’ while giving oral sex" — while Noa filmed it on his phone, yelling, "Can ya’ll hear me? She’s sucking d—k in the back of a state trooper right now," the report said.
As Noa FaceTimed a friend, Watkins bragged, “I just sucked his d–k in the back of a police car,” the report said.
The officer dropped off Watkins before seeing the footage — then predictably went straight back and arrested her for being a dipshit lewd and lascivious behavior and breach of peace, both misdemeanors.
She was later released from jail on a $1,000 bond and is scheduled for arraignment on Dec. 16, records show.
Noa was arrested for driving on a suspended license, possession of a controlled substance, I'm so surprised.
as well as indecent exposure in public, breach of peace and lewd and lascivious behavior. He also bonded out of jail and is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 13.

Meanwhile, the USAF is resurrecting an old project, sort of: they are in talks w/Japan’s civil aviation about putting floats on a C-130 for special ops. Years back Lockheed (pre-merger days) floated (bad pun, not sorry) a flying boat version of the Herc to the DoD. This latest go-round has floats attached to the struts so it is convertible between land and sea. Not a true amphibian. Picture shows 2 floats about the size of Rhode Island.

Bet they kept those engines running the whole time they were there. Jet Engines do not like starting when they're cold. That's why you almost always see prop planes at those latitudes.

At the Pole the don't turn off the engines--I'm told they have to keep the fuel from congealing. Warming it up with a fire under the wing isn't something they like doing.

Family of 16 of the 17 killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland have reached a monetary settlement with the government
Settlement comes over the FBI's failure to stop the gunman even though it had received information he intended to attack
Attorneys said the settlement's details are confidential, but a person familiar with the deal said the government will pay the families $127.5 million overall
Seventeen students and faculty were killed and another 17 injured when 19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz attacked Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School with an AR-15 assault rifle on February 14, 2018.
Expelled from school for disciplinary reasons, Cruz was known to be fixated by firearms — and had reportedly been identified as a potential threat to his classmates.
Cruz bought the weapon legally, despite having been in local records as having a history of mental health problems.
...diagnoses of autism, anxiety, depression and significant psychological problems, described as a troubled kid obsessed with guns — the police came to the family home frequently to deal with him. Mr. Cruz was adopted at birth, then his adoptive father died when he was young, followed into the grave by his adoptive mother a few months before he ran amok. So really he was a classic school shooter. Interestingly, his biological sister, Danielle Woodard, 34, also has a long rap sheet, and is classified as a habitual violent offender...
Victims’ families sued the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... and the Justice Department, saying the FBI had specific tips that Cruz had exhibited increasingly violent mostly peaceful conduct, collected guns and ammunition, and declared a desire to kill people and specifically to carry out a school shooting, according to a statement from Kristina Infante, lead counsel for the relatives.
One of those tips, the Federal Bureau of Investigation earlier admitted, was of a message Cruz posted on YouTube, vowing: "I’m going to be a professional school shooter."
If the FBI had transmitted that information to its Miami field office, it would have been investigated, the plaintiffs argued.
In October, Cruz, now 23, pleaded guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder. He is awaiting sentencing and prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty
The DOJ, of course, will pay NOTHING to these families. The funds will have come from the US Treasury and the amount added to the national debt. Wouldn't it be nice if instead the money was subtracted from pensions paid to FBI officials, with none of them getting a cent until the amount was paid. Or better, abolish the FBI and start over.

My phone tells me when it thinks the lens of the camera needs cleaned. You'd think that expensive plane could detect that something was wrong with the air flow at idle.

Someone neglects a teensy part of a well-defined procedure with catastrophic results. Hmm, where have we seen *that* recently?

I tried to read the article, but it required me to disable my ad blocker, so no.
If the satellites are destroyed, the icbm's, sub launched missiles, and airborne launch platforms are not useless, they are unimpaired, just behind the curve but not by much. Sats are not all that are used to detect a launch.
Like I said, I didn't get to read the article but the headline smells like bullshit from here.
As Skid says, loss of sats would be a trigger.
This field used to be my life's work.

Yeah, the Minutemen and Tridents use inertial and celestial guidance. GPS has been added as another cherry on top.

Russian bluster. GPS sats are in medium orbit (~20,000 km) well above the A235 interceptor's capability. The older cruise missiles also use radar based TERCOM, and as said by M Murcek, strategic nuke missiles use internal guidance. GPS guided JDAMS also have inertial navigation backup which in most cases is good enough.
[MAIL] China's birth rate plummeted to a record low last year, highlighting a looming demographic crisis for Beijing caused by a rapidly ageing workforce, a slowing economy and the weakest population growth in decades.
China relaxed its 'one-child policy' - one of the world's strictest family planning regulations - in 2016, allowing couples to have two children. Earlier this year that was extended to three children.
But the changes have failed to result in the hoped-for baby boom, as the cost of living rises and women increasingly make their own family planning choices.
Last year, China recorded 8.52 births per 1,000 people according to the 2021 Statistical Yearbook released in the past week - the lowest figure since the yearbook data began in 1978.
[FoxBusinessNews] Samsung Electronics Co. plans to build a roughly $17 billion chip-making plant in Taylor, Texas, according to people familiar with the matter, a mega investment by the South Korean tech giant, as the Biden administration pushes for an expansion of U.S. semiconductor production.
An announcement could come as early as Tuesday, people familiar with the matter said. Gov. Greg Abbott is scheduled to make an "economic announcement" Tuesday at 5 p.m. local time.
The Taylor facility, located in central Texas, plans to create around 1,800 jobs, though chip production isn’t expected to start until the end of 2024, according to documents Samsung had previously filed with Texas authorities. To woo Samsung, Taylor had offered incentives that include the equivalent of property-tax breaks of up to 92.5% for the first 10 years, with the write-offs gradually declining over the next several decades.
Samsung’s doubling down on Texas where it already has a footprint comes amid a year of historic spending for the semiconductor industry, spurred by government incentives seeking to attract local production. A global chip shortage has undercut many industries from smartphones and home appliances to cars.
Samsung, the world’s largest semiconductor maker by revenue, plans to invest more than $205 billion over the next three years, with chip-making a priority. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has earmarked more than $100 billion over the next three years to build new chip factories. Intel Corp. has also unveiled more than $100 billion worth of semiconductor factory investments plans in the U.S. and Europe over the coming decade.
The addicts will love that. Could make the lives of EMTs easier, too, if they don’t have to go every time for their repeat customers... ... and druggies are sure to wear the device. Of course they are.

After 6 overdoses will it still work. The high is all that matters. They become violent after you bring them down many times. In ER extra security for the violent ones. Stimulus money received and within 24hrs overdosed. I'd bet China has no problem.
