A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine struck an unidentified object in the South China Sea over the weekend, Navy officials confirmed Thursday. The USS Connecticut, a Seawolf-class fast attack submarine, had a collision Oct. 2 while operating in international waters and is returning to port in the U.S. 7th Fleet. Almost a dozen sailors were injured but none of the injuries was considered life-threatening, according to the U.S. Naval Institute. “The safety of the crew remains the Navy’s top priority. The submarine remains in a safe and stable condition,” Navy officials said in a statement. While the extent of damage to the submarine is still being assessed,

Our navy might not be able to sail ships without crashing into things anymore, but our prowess at rooting out White Supremacy and promoting the interests of the LQBTQ+ movement remains the envy of the world.

Please don't blame our brave and capable sailors for the craven stupidity of their upper leadership. The blame starts with the people for sitting idly by while our military and other formerly proud institutions are intentionally shredded by evil forces who have no fear of traditional Americans.

I wonder if the ChiComs are putting out non-exploding 'mines' in the South China Sea? Drop a few hundred hollow steel spheres, tethered at 200 feet from the bottom, and you set traps for any subs. Obstacles that are not charted.....except on ChiCom charts, since they put them there. It could be an ordinary navigational or charting error.....or enemy action. Look for a second, and then know it is enemy action, not an accident.

A detective who racked up more than $15,000 in unpaid tolls and fees was busted for driving his unregistered vehicle in Brooklyn—and tried to get out of trouble by flashing his NYPD badge, sources said. Det. Yosef Aisaa was stopped in his Land Rover by Bridge and Tunnel officers just before 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday after he crossed the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge where cops spotted the unregistered vehicle, according to an MTA spokesman. The New York State DMV had stripped the cop of his registration for “persistent toll violations” that totaled $1,348.27 in unpaid tolls and $14,100 in fees, the spokesman said.

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is facing calls to resign after he was caught on video calling gay and transgender people 'filth'. Footage, first posted online by advocacy group Right Wing Watch on Wednesday, shows Robinson addressing the congregation at the Asbury Baptist Church in Seagrove back in June. The Republican, who would take over if the state's Democratic Governor Roy Cooper stood down or was impeached, is seen raging that children should not learn about such 'filth' in public schools and using a derogatory phrase for transgender people.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the nation’s first Native American Cabinet official, tearfully described the White House grounds Friday as “the ancestral homelands” of two Native American tribes. During an event with President Biden on the North Lawn of the White House, Ms. Haaland became choked up as she praised the president’s action to restore territory of two sprawling western national monuments that had been reduced in size by then-President Trump. “We are here today on the ancestral homelands of the Anacostan and Piscataway people, bending the arc of the moral universe toward justice,” Ms. Haaland said.

Donald Trump told Fox News on Thursday night that he thought Haitian migrants coming to the US 'will probably have AIDS.' The former president said accepting the asylum-seekers would be a 'death wish' for the US. A record-shattering number of Haitian migrants have come to the US in the last month, and the trend doesn't appear to be stopping as more people continue to pour into the Colombian town of Necocli, a popular spot for smugglers to shepherd people through the perilous Darien Gap.(Snip)'So, we have hundreds of thousands of people flowing in from Haiti.

No fare! MTA missed out on collecting

It’s highway robbery—and the MTA doesn’t even know the culprit. The authority is down at least $56 million thanks to “unbillable” tolls for which officials cannot find an address to mail the bill, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli said Thursday. MTA Bridges and Tunnels was unable to send bills for six million crossings through from September 2019 to June 2021—leaving millions of dollars uncollected, the comptroller’s office said in a letter to the MTA following up on three-year-old audit into its cashless tolling.(Snip)In September, the MTA Inspector General flagged a transit employee who bragged to co-workers about eluding tolls with an obscured license plate

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters demands its members’ rights not be violated regarding the COVID-19 vaccine mandates, but the union took public measures to pressure its unvaccinated employees into taking the jab or leaving their jobs. Various labor unions around the country are seeking vaccine mandate exemptions for their own members, but where they stand on their own employees may be different. In the case of the Teamsters, the IBT holds different standards for its unvaccinated employees who work at its Washington, D.C., headquarters than the members it represents. The Teamsters filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against United Airlines on behalf of its members

New York City officials are phasing out the controversial “Gifted and Talented” program for elementary school students, a massive change aimed at addressing racial disparities in the biggest school system in the country. The entry exam identifying students as “gifted” will be eliminated, officials said Friday.

An illegal alien from China has been charged with setting fire to the more than 1oo-years-old First Baptist Church Montgomery in Montgomery, Alabama. Xiaoquin Yan, 27-years-old, first arrived in the United States on an F-1 student visa to attend a university in Alabama. Eventually, reports indicate that Yan overstayed her visa and became an illegal alien living in the U.S. This week, Yan was charged with second-degree arson after being identified thanks to video footage.(Snip)According to the church, where Gov. Kay Ivey (R) attends services, Yan caused at least $25,000 worth of damage. The church was first founded in 1829

U.S. employers added just 194,000 jobs in September, falling short of expectations for the second month in a row. Friday's report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate fell sharply to 4.8 percent from 5.2 percent in August. Economists surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting the US to add 500,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate to slip to 5.1 percent.(Snip)Goldman Sachs estimates that about 1.5 million people have retired who wouldn't have before the pandemic upended the economy.

At least five prints of Hunter Biden’s artwork have already been sold for $75,000 each and a team of lawyers is vetting potential patrons who plan to attend his upcoming gallery show in New York City—which has now been delayed until the spring, The Post has learned. The Georges Berges Gallery sold the prints before the Oct. 1 opening of a “pop-up” presentation in Los Angeles, a source familiar with the matter said Thursday. It’s unclear who purchased the reproductions—which cost a fraction of the top price of $500,000 for an original piece by President Biden’s scandal-scarred son—or if any more were sold

Divorce usually isn’t a good idea, and that’s especially true of a nearly 250-year-old continental nation. The notion of a national breakup has long simmered as a fringe argument, but it is increasingly popular in certain precincts of the political right and has gained at least some traction with partisans of both sides. A recent survey by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia found that about 50 percent of Donald Trump voters and 40 percent of Joe Biden voters agreed to some extent with the proposition that the country should split up, with either red or blue states seceding.

There is a significantly lower incidence of serious cases of COVID in countries that use ivermectin for early exposures.
