It's got Emily Blunt! Cutesy animals and a Thomas Kinkade Master of Light (TM) house! Baddies! A car chase! Crop circles not being made by two eccentric blokes with a rope and a plank! To quote Maurice in The IT Crowd (series 2, 1), every value...

I sometimes wonder if HE is being misled by those showing him "what I have seen," and telling him what he hears. He is famously disinterested in having things explained to him, it would seem relatively low-risk to tell him briefly and simply...

@fizzBuzz You say "back it up": Since President Donald Trump was sworn into office in January, he has sat for just 12 presentations from intelligence officials of the President's Daily Brief. That's a significant drop compared with Trump's...

British service personnel swear an oath to the monarch, not the constitution (which is hard to identify/ specify in the UK; it's not codified). I swear by Almighty God [or: do solemnly, and truly declare and affirm] that I will be faithful and...

The President should be aware of the current status of intel briefings which he should be receiving daily, or more than daily, during an active war. I don't think anyone is suggesting he personally should be frequently skimming the NYT frontpage...

It's a win/win situation. If they put the paper back, then it's a triumph for woo believers everywhere over the gatekeepers of Big Science and another step towards disclosure. If the take down other papers, it's the evil gatekeepers of Big...

luckily this is page 7, so i think there is no chance that comment will insult the younger generation and the tons of adults now who dont read to gather information! :)

Iran (like Russia) isn't really dependent on top shelf advanced weapons. Shahed drones are cheap, they're produced domestically, produced in Russia, claimed (but not last I knew proven) to be produced in North Korea and at offshore Russian...

I've seen several commentators state that the war will be short because one or more of the players will run out of advanced weapons. Unfortunately that was also used by many of the same talking heads to predict an end to the Ukraine war which (so...
