[TLO.ORG] Gen. Frederick Kroesen led combat troops in three wars, held major Army command posts and served as vice chief of staff of the Army.
But when he died on April 30 in Alexandria, Va., at 97, he was remembered as well for narrowly escaping death in an assassination attempt by a left-wing German terrorist group on Sept. 15, 1981.
General Kroesen, the four-star commander of some 220,000 American troops as well as NATO forces in Europe, was being driven to his headquarters in Heidelberg, West Germany, in a Mercedes-Benz with armor plating, a precaution against a possible terrorist attack, when two rocket-propelled antitank grenades were fired at it from a wooded hillside.
The first one exploded in the trunk of the car, partly shattering its rear window, and exited through a fender. A second grenade missed the vehicle. At least eight shots were fired at the auto and an accompanying military police vehicle, but none penetrated the passenger compartments.
"The glass on the back window all broke — and I fell forward — and cut me all over the back of my head," General Kroesen recalled in 1998 in an interview for an oral history project at Rutgers University, his alma mater. "My wife looked over at me, and she thought I was dead, because she thought that the whole back of my head had been blown out."
General Kroesen and his wife, Rowene Kroesen, who had accompanied him on her way to a dental visit, were cut by flying glass and treated at a hospital, then went about their day’s tasks. No one else was injured.
Former Army Staff Sgt Ronald Shurer II received the Medal of Honor in 2018
His wife, Miranda, said Shurer died of cancer at a hospital on Thursday, aged 41
Shurer was senior medical sergeant in special forces in April 2008, when his team encountered machine gun and sniper fire and grenades from militants
He stabilized one soldier, then fought his way amid gunfire up a mountain to the lead members of the unit and treated and stabilized four more soldiers
Shurer then lowered the wounded down a steep mountainside during evacuation
[NYPOST] Greta "How dare you!" Thunberg ...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change... denied Thursday that she’d be appearing in the capacity of an "expert" on a CNN coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... town hall — as the network faces criticism for adding the teenager to a lineup of public health experts.
The 17-year-old insisted that she’ll only be interviewed about her activism as part of the program, "Coronavirus Facts and Fears."
"Tonight I’ll be interviewed on CNN to talk about the new campaign supporting @UNICEF during COVID-19 and about being an activist in a world altered by the coronavirus," Thunberg wrote on Twitter. "It seems some people thought I was going to be on an expert panel, which of course has never been the case."
The climate activist then fired back against criticism that she had no place alongside the other guests, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71, and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60.
"I am an activist. The only people claiming that I’m an ’expert’ are those who are trying to ridicule me," Thunberg said. "My message has always been to unite behind the science and listen to the experts."
CNN came under fire Wednesday for Thunberg’s placement on the program when journalist Yashar Ali asked his 619,000 Twitter followers, "What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?"
"I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators," he wrote. "A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement.”

M. Murcek - I've been trying to figure out this 'leftgasm' thingy when it comes to them holding certain people up as heroes (Avanetti, this broad, St. Fauci, etc.) and fawn over them for weeks on end. I generally didn't have heroes growing up, but there were certain people I looked up to. This largely stopped happening by the time I got to college, so the only thing that makes sense to me is this - it's just another example of lefty infantile behavior.
[Dallas News] Warren Lee, a 29-year-old from Dallas, has been stuck in the Chinese city where the coronavirus outbreak began since January, and he's still not sure when he'll be home.
Because Wuhan's airport is only offering domestic flights, his only option would be to travel to Shanghai ‐ more than 500 miles from Wuhan ‐ quarantine there for 14 days, and then, maybe, find a flight back to the U.S. But that's not the reason he wants to stay where he is.
Even if he were able to find a flight from Shanghai to the States, as he sees parts of the country begin to reopen without a decline in cases, he said staying in Wuhan might be the better option. Actually, he reads about it, in the left-wing media.
"Honestly, I feel safer here," Lee told The Dallas Morning News over a video call Friday. See? The Dallas Morning News (and others) have done their job, scaring the dickens out of the public, even as far away as Wuhan.

[DISRN] The Colorado Department of Health and Environment is listing coronavirus as cause of death of a Colorado man despite the county coroner ruling that he died of ethanol toxicity with an astounding 0.55 blood-alcohol level.
A blood-alcohol level of 0.3 is generally considered fatal.
Although the unidentified man tested positive for coronavirus, County Coroner George Deavers said he disagreed with the state's assessment after his investigation with a pathologist revealed that the man's blood-alcohol content was nearly seven times the legal driving limit of 0.08.

[Summit] A restaurant in South Carolina is using blow up dolls to occupy empty tables in order to enforce social distancing.
NBC 10 reports that the dolls, which are dressed in real clothing, are a good way of reminding customers to keep a safe distance from each other to protect against coronavirus.
The Open Hearth Restaurant says it’s a nicer way of maintaining a six feet gap between people without having to use caution tape.

as Lex points out there are many problems with the data
the only two things that are probably accurate enough for detailed analysis and hospitalizations and number of tests
with respect to deaths in nursing homes attributable to the Wu, the number of expected deaths is reasonably calculated based on prior experience and the number above that is reasonably
attributed to the Wu
that is not the case in the general population as indirect causation is significant, e.g., fewer auto accident deaths, more depression related suicides

[Hot Air] The good news is that the price of gasoline, clothing, car insurance, airline fares, and hotel stays have dropped. The bad news is that the price of your grocery bill is higher. The price of groceries went up in April by a monthly jump not seen for forty-six years.
The price of the items in the categories that dropped does not affect every consumer. Not everyone drives, or travels by air, or needs a hotel room. Everyone needs food. We can blame the coronavirus pandemic for this turn of events. I’ve noticed price increases, you probably have, too.
An increase in the price of eggs has been especially noticeable, as well as some shortages, too. At the end of March, the average price for a dozen eggs was $3.01. At the beginning of March, the price was 94 cents. This jump seems to have led the way. One item isn’t a crisis, even with something as necessary as eggs for the home cook. Supermarkets were increasing their normal orders to stock their egg cases because of consumer demand. This was actually good news for egg producers who experienced a money-losing year last year.
The short supply is expected to last a while, though. It takes up to five months to raise a hen to its egg-laying age. It is not anticipated that farmers will expand their flocks. Eggs are an inexpensive source of protein and a staple in kitchens. Grocers say it is hard to ask customers to pay more for eggs but costs are going up and they are losing money on eggs.

Besoeker, those aren't virtue signaling. Grocers hit their annual projections during the first couple weeks of this. They're rewarding employees who are hanging on through all the work.
See also the hiring they're doing. Kroger has hired 100,000 since this all started. I believe Walmart has hired even more.

[NYPost] The coronavirus crisis is likely to widen the gender pay gap in Germany as more women are cutting their hours to look after children due to the closure of schools and nurseries, a survey showed on Thursday.
In households with at least one child under the age of 14, 27 percent of women have cut their hours to look after them, while 16 percent of men have done so, according to the survey of almost 7,700 employees by research body Hans Boeckler Foundation.
Schools and nurseries closed in Germany on March 17 to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. They have been gradually reopening but are not expected to get back to normal until after the summer holidays.
Women earn about 21 percent less than men in Germany on average, one of the biggest gaps in the European Union, in part because so many women work part-time.
Germany is not designed for a two-career household with nobody available during the day to take care of the grocery shopping and meeting the plumber.
The tendency for women to cut their hours more than men has been more pronounced in households with low to medium incomes than those with higher incomes, the survey showed.
Higher income households have au pair girls, foreign nursery maids who get pocket money and German classes in exchange for babysitting.

No mention of the previous precedent when Mrs Roosevelt took over.
A young Indian Army lieutenant punched a Chinese PLA major on his nose and sent blood oozing from his nose.
The incident happened at Muguthang which is in the Indian state of Sikkim.
The Indian officer's infantry unit had stopped the intruding Chinese PLA and were furious at the Chinese commissar for shouting, "This (Sikkim) is not your land, this is not Indian territory... so just go back.”
Brought up in a military family – his grandfather a veteran of the Royal and then Indian Air Force and his father a colonel in the Indian Army – the officer threw a sold punch.
The Chinese major collapsed with a thud and his name tag came loose.
This nearly provoked an escalation.
This comes at a time when India is chalking out a strategy to shore up its sire power as it faces an ever-growing Chinese Navy.
One of the important parts of the strategy is 6 missile boats which will be manufactured under the ‘Make in India’ program.

"It's a Muguthang, Chinaman. You wouldn't understand."
[Business Insider] The 75th Ranger Regiment, Green Berets and other US special operations ground forces will be equipped with the conventional Army's Next Generation Squad Weapons.
"We are an enthusiastic supporter of the Army's 6.8 mm Next Generation Squad Weapons," Col. Joel Babbitt, of Program Executive Officer Special Operations Forces Warrior, told Military.com recently. "We expect there will be Next Generation Squad Weapons in our formations as soon as we can receive them via fielding."
The Army is in the final phase of evaluating NGSW prototypes from General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc., Textron Systems and Sig Sauer Inc. to replace the 5.56 mm M4A1 carbine and the M249 squad automatic weapon in infantry and other close-combat units.
If all goes as planned, Army modernization officials will select the final design for the rifle and automatic rifle variants from a single firm in the first quarter of 2022 and begin fielding them a year later.
PEO SOF Warrior is working with the Army to become part of the NGSW fielding plan at some point over the five-year, future-year defense plan, Babbitt said.
US Special Operations Command hasn't always been as supportive of conventional Army weapons programs, such as the failed XM25 Counter-Defilade Target Engagement System, which was known as the Punisher.

Who gets to replace over years the hundreds of millions of 5.56 rounds? Somebody should look into that. And the post retirement career paths of key decision makers.

It looks like the costs associated with trying to keep the 5.56 round viable are exceeding the costs of going to a larger round... That and those invested in the 5.56 round are getting old and senile.

I do like the 5.56, but it does have some pretty serious shortcomings. Especially in the smaller M-4 barrel lengths and against concrete blocks that are so common in the ME.
If I get a bigger round that is almost the same weight, I'm all for it.

I recall when the Army dumped the carbine. Boy, that ammo went cheap. At one point, the NRA would sell you an M1 carbine for $20 as a premium for joining. Sort of like banks would give you a toaster or something.
Thing about the heavier--and heavier--round is that it reduces the cover capabilities of various pieces of terrain. What the 556 can't penetrate, the 6.8 can, which means that many fewer items--walls, trees, buildings, etc--are useful. Fewer positions from which to fight. Up to 7.62, fewer still. And then the Ma Deuce.

Here's reality: California's unemployment rate in May hit 23%, expected to reach 30-32% by end of June.
Sweden's unemployment rate in May hit 7%, and is estimated to reach 9% by end of June.
When with cultural differences, the extreme lockdown policy is causing unemployment to be many times higher - as much as TWENTY POINTS HIGHER - than it otherwise would be. The grim reality - no BS "modeling" required -- is that every additional point of unemployment in this country means thousands of additional deaths due to economic devastation and despair. This is fact. No funny numbers or misattribution or inconsistencies in the data but hard reality.
The mass lockdown is unsustainable. This is obvious now to everyone. Whatever the rationale for it -- a rationale which keeps changing, almost by the week -- this extreme and unwise policy must now be brought to a conclusion, and the sooner the better.
Sweden is simply taking the hit faster than the rest of us -- and inflating its death statistics by counting all the nursing home deaths as COVID when in reality about 25-30% of those extremely frail elderly who end up in nursing homes die within six months because of pregnancy-existing conditions. Sweden's neighbors and most nations aren't counting such deaths as caused by CPVID; Sweden is.

The unemployment spike is a temporary result of the lockdown; the pain is eased in First World countries by unemployment checks and, in the U.S., the $1200/taxpayer stimulus check. Let’s see what the economy and unemployment look like in six months and a year from now.
The news is full unemployment stories, but this is the first I’ve seen about employment during thus thing except for the WalMart bonus:
#9
TW this is devastating - there's no way around it.
Already we have 4.6 million unemployed in California, the majority of whom will not see a paycheck again for the rest of 2020 at least.
At least half, probably more, of these nearly 5 million people were already close to or below the effective poverty level, which per United Way included 31% of California's population even at the peak of the economic boom.
$1200 might buy groceries for a family ... for one month.
In the silver lining category, perhaps many of the millions of illegals will try to leave, but even on that front the outlook isn't promising: Mexico doesn't want them and is - irony of ironies - said to be enforcing border controls against people entering Mexico from El Norte.
It is extremely likely that California will see more deaths due to economic despair than from COVID.
The extended mass lockdown is likely to be seen by future historians as the most disastrous policy decision in California's history.

Kroger company has hired 100,000 over the past eight weeks. They've also paid out bonuses to hourly and salaried employees.
Restaurants were swamped for Mother's Day. Sure, their tables were empty, but they were getting so many online orders they were cancelling some.

I certainly hope you're right. But that depends on the lockdown being lifted ASAP.
Little hope of that happening with Pomade Boy in Sacramento.
These idiots just announced they're going to close all the Cal State campuses (23 total) and probably most or all of the flagship University if California campuses as well (10 total).
So it's not enough to destroy millions of California families' livelihoods; their children's aspirations for a better life need to be clipped as well.
Again though I'm glad to see the red states applying reason and opening up.
Over 30 red states have announced their flagship public universities will be open this fall (e.g. TAMU, Purdue, Georgia, Virginia etc). So maybe the Californian high-achieving middle-class families' emigration to other states will become a stampede.

But that depends on the lockdown being lifted ASAP.
I’ve read that in NYC small business are opening despite the lockdown being once again extended, and the speakeasy culture has reappeared, Lex. In one of the Blue states severql counties have formally informed their governor that they are opening locally, despite state rules against it. So there is a de facto end to the lockdown, despite de jure nonsense.
The rulers of California, however, clearly cannot be kept from their completely unnecessarily self-destructive course, which will only accelerate depopulation. Politico addressed it a few days ago:

California's boom times are coming to an end. This is the last nail in the coffin of what remains of California's middle class. Those who stay will be a thin stratum of remote knowledge workers in tech, the vast numbers of CA public sector union employees, and tens of millions of pauperized dole-recipients.
In short, the Anschluss between California and Mexico is nearly complete.
#19
Even U. Illinois is opening this fall. Nearly the entire South, most of the Midwest, Arizona, Maine, even U. Vermont: all have announced they'll open this fall albeit with testing, quarantines where necessary etc.

(CNN)The remains of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife will be removed from a Memphis park where a monument of him once stood.
The decision to move their remains came after the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a non-profit organization of male descendants of Confederate veterans, agreed to drop a pending lawsuit against park owners, according to CNN affiliate WREG.
Forrest, who was a slave trader and early Ku Klux Klan leader, and his wife, Mary Ann, had their graves at Health Sciences Park, where a monument to Forrest used to be.
City leaders voted in 2013 to change the name of three parks that honored Confederate figures in Memphis. Then, in 2015, they voted to move the Forrest statue. To proceed with the removal, they sought a waiver from the Tennessee Heritage Protection Act, a law that governs the removal, relocation or renaming of memorials on public property. But the Tennessee Historical Commission denied the city's request.

Sgt. Brian Miller was one of the four deputies who were terminated because of a “neglect of duty” in the Feb. 14, 2018, Parkland shooting, which killed 17 students and faculty members and injured another 17.
Miller, 57, was paid $138,410.25 in 2017, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The BSO veteran had challenged the decision with union backing. An arbitration ruling found “BSO violated Sgt. Brian Miller’s constitutional due process rights and improperly terminated him,” the union said.
This was the Nikolas Cruz school massacre; Sgt. Miller was not the school security officer, but one of the first from the department to arrive — sadly, he responded as trained and as ordered. It should be noted that, as one of his first acts as governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis suspended Sheriff Scott Israel and appointed a replacement, and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office lost its accreditation.
