[PAGESIX] Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle ...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions and not many brains, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Her half brother described her (to her husband, before their marriage) as a jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. Once married, she was too classy for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, thus making a joke of Harry and the royal family heritage... ’s baby girl has arrived.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced the birth of their second child, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor — and paid tribute to both Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Diana with the child’s name, as Lilibet is the Queen’s family nickname.
"On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe," Meghan and Harry announced in a statement Sunday. "Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family."
The baby was born on Friday at 11:40 a.m. "in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif.," according to press secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. She weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces.
Both Meghan, 39, and the baby "are healthy and well, and settling in at home," according to the statement.

So they give her a nickname for her Christian name -- an F you to the family's religious faith -- and then they snub that nickname by substituting their own -- an F you to the Royal grandma from whom the first nickname was taken.
God, what loathesome little shits these two are.
What did the Queen do to her grandson to deserve such treatment?

Every act has a calculated PR and attention getting component. Grifters Gotta Grift and Harry is window dressing.
2022 will see the Platinum Jubilee, an unprecedented event marking 70 years on the throne. Look for the attention whore to blackmail her way in with the ginger idiot, and boohoo her treatment as racist exclusion. Harry, you really are a twit.

Not that I want these miscreants in the United States, but I think it would be wise of the Brits to deny their return to that country.

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Police in Nicaragua have taken opposition politician Arturo Cruz into custody, detaining a second presidential hopeful in less than a week and escalating the battle ahead of November elections in which President Daniel Ortega seeks to maintain his grip on power.
Cruz, an academic who was Nicaragua’s ambassador to the United States between 2007 and 2009, was detained at the Managua airport upon arrival from Washington, DC, on Saturday, according to his aides.
The prosecutor’s offices said in a statement that Cruz was being investigated by the national police based on "strong evidence that he has attacked Nicaraguan society".
It did not give details of possible charges against the 67-year-old or say whether he will remain in jug or under arrest.
Cruz’s detention came three days after opposition figure Cristiana Chamorro — also a possible challenger to Ortega in the November elections — was placed under house arrest after government claims that she was guilty of money laundering.
Cruz, a former ally to Ortega, is a candidate for the Alianza Ciudadana or Citizen’s Alliance, a coalition of right-wing parties supported by prominent businessmen, for the November presidential elections.
The Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights called his detention a "perverse strategy" on the part of Ortega’s government to silence people he considers political enemies.
"These are not criminal investigations, this is political persecution," it said.
The US called for Cruz’s "immediate release".
"The international community has spoken: under Ortega, Nicaragua is becoming an international pariah and moving farther away from democracy," Acting Undersecretary of the US State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Julie Chung said on Twitter.
The Organization of American States also urged Nicaraguan authorities to free Cruz.
"Manipulating security forces and the judiciary to imprison opposition candidates is unacceptable ... these actions are contrary to free and fair elections," OAS Secretary-General Luis Almagro said on Twitter.
Ortega, a former guerrilla fighter who governed from 1979 to 1990, returned to power in 2007 and won two successive reelections. The 75-year-old aims to be re-elected in November for the third consecutive term.
International organizations, including the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Office of the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... High Commissioner for Human Rights, have accused Ortega’s government of fabricating false accusations against opponents.
The electoral body has already eliminated two opposition parties.

One of the workers, who was in the shop when the ammunition started to explode, told the newspaper that there were seven other people in addition to her. “We managed to get out, get to the building and enter the concrete basement. This building has no windows and is literally buried in the ground. We're still in the basement. Explosions are heard, everything is shaking. It's scary, ”she said.
By about 3:30, all workers were evacuated from the plant, no one was injured, Novosti reports. According to the newspaper, at the time of the incident, there were 60 people at Sloboda. The townspeople who live nearby were also evacuated.

[REGNUM] Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia does not intend to completely abandon the US dollar as the world's reserve currency or universal means of payment. The Russian leader said this in an interview with the heads of world news agencies at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
“If you heard something that I’m saying something about the dollar and understood that we want to get rid of it as a reserve currency or as a universal means of payment, this is not the case, ” Vladimir Putin said.
The Russian leader explained that he was talking about the use of the US dollar by the US authorities as various kinds of sanctions. For example, Russia cannot make dollar payments with its partners in the field of military-technical cooperation, since American sanctions have been imposed on this.
That is why Russia is forced to switch to settlements in other currencies, and not at all because it wants to.
“They are forcing us to do this, our American partners. We do not deliberately leave, we have to do it, ”Putin explained.
Russian financial relations with partners outside the dollar zone are forced to develop.
Putin stressed that by such actions, the US authorities harm themselves, since the whole world sees that settlements in dollars are unreliable. Therefore, the volume of settlements in dollars on a global scale is decreasing.
[The Post Millennial via Rantingly] In the next few years, the world could see almost 60 maximum security Level 4 virology labs in operation. The Guangdong province announced in May that it was planning to build between 25 to 30 biosafety labs in the next five years.
What could go wrong?" questioned Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec:
What could go wrong— AntifaBook.com (@JackPosobiec) June 6, 2021
The facilities will be flung all over the globe, spanning 23 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Gabon, and Côte d’Ivoire.
The current Wuhan Institute of Virology is now at the center of an investigation by US authorities into whether COVID-19 could have leaked from its lab.
About 75 percent of these facilities are or will be built in urban areas, which has experts around the world worried about the possibility of further "lab leaks."

[FoxNews] Republicans celebrated Javier Villalobos' narrow win in the mayor's race in McAllen, Texas, on Saturday even though the race is technically nonpartisan.
"Javier Villalobos is a proven leader who cares deeply about the people of the Rio Grande Valley. Congratulations on becoming the next Mayor of McAllen!" Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote on Facebook.
Villalobos, an attorney, was appointed to the Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board by Abbott in 2018 and is the former chair of the Hidalgo County GOP.
"Amazing news! McAllen, Texas is a major border town of 140,000 people. 85% Hispanic — and just elected a Republican mayor. The macro realignment accelerates in South Texas, and elsewhere, as Hispanics rally to America First," former Trump 2020 campaign adviser Steve Cortes wrote on Twitter.

Just feels like a tipping point of some kind. With the Fauci bit. Nigeria and India pushing back on twitter. Guatemalans calling Kamala names. I hope its not all a coincidence. I hope folks are finally sick and tired of liberal over-reach.

Um, what? Bezos hasn't put anything into orbit. SpaceX had two launches over the last week. They've had 120 Falcon 9 launches -- including 2 manned missions. SpaceX is building their first complete Starship stack.
But Bezos is going to be payload in a suborbital flight, so he "wins"?

Has their ever been a manned launch where folks were indifferent if the thing blew up or not, or actively voting for failure?

The first thing that flashed into my mind is 'he's dying'.
The second was he wants to beat Musk so badly that he is risking it all for ego. But taking his brother with him?
Then, going through a divorce myself, I thought maybe the divorce was too much for him. It is incredibly wearing, after 49 years of marriage (for me) I find divorce and all the things that had built over time, now gone, a great burden.

Spam in a can, as they used to say in the early days. I admire Bezos having skin in the game, but you do actually have to cross the finish line before you are the winner.
[Popular Mechanics] The U.S. Army’s elite fleet of A/MH-6 "Little Bird" special operations helicopters might give way to civilian choppers in the coming years.
The Army could swap the Little Birds, which the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment has used for nearly 40 years, for the winner of a new armed reconnaissance helicopter competition. The catch? Just one of the two competing helicopters can actually carry troops—a key requirement for the Little Bird’s replacement.
In 1981, following the failure of the mission to free the U.S. hostages in Tehran, the U.S. Army founded Task Force 160, an elite helicopter unit designed to support special forces ground units. The unit received its first A/MH-6 helicopters in 1983; since then, the "Little Birds" have served in the aviation unit continuously. The small and nimble helicopters fly low to mask their appearance and avoid enemy fire.

Besoeker,
Was it Rob, that hopped and skipped his damaged little bird down the Panama streets during Operation Just Cause to keep his team from being killed?
Only time will tell if New school beats Old School in a REAL combat situation.

Interesting story I won't bore anyone with, but Mannie Noriega... another Klingon creation gone terribly bad.
"Zonians"... so-called Americans living in the Canal Zone at the time. Another interesting breed. I should leave it at that, but go ahead and spit once or twice for good measure.

So the answer is nope. US SOCOM has contracted for block 3 of the MELB. Nothing secret here. The composite blades are in production, the performance of the blades are so strong, that new airframes were ordered and being delivered. The new avionics package is in development, all the money is appropriated by congress and the contracts are all in the delivery phase. The blades and airframe are Boeing and the avionics are Rockwell. All programs are on schedule or ahead.
Now to the new recon aircraft. Lockeed would love to get that coveted slot in our arsenal. But the new aircraft will be way too big. There is a reason for the little bird, otherwise it would all be blackhawks and 47s in the 160th. BTW, the new recon aircraft is as long as a 47. Wont work...
