Great. Just Great! Look at what our $$ millions for each tank gets us . . . .

You want to see first hand how we’ve been getting bilked by the Military-industrial complex?   Our Abrams tanks . . .  you know, our main battle tanks . . .  can’t go up hills in the snow.  They skid and slide backwards.

This is what Six to nine MILLION DOLLARS EACH buys us?  

This is the quality and engineering excellence of the American Military industrial complex?  Friggin pathetic.

Watch:

With weapons systems like this, would be even be able to defend our own country . . . in the winter????

Gee, sorry China, you have to wait until Spring to invade us because our tanks can’t go up hills in snow.

Pope on Christmas: Jesus was poor, so don't be power-hungry

In the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis was presiding over Christmas Eve Mass VATICAN CITY -- Recalling Jesus’ birth in a stable, Pope Francis rebuked those “ravenous” for wealth and power at the expense of the vulnerable, including children, in a Christmas Eve homily decrying war, poverty and greedy consumerism. In the splendor of St. Peter’s Basilica, Francis presided over the evening Mass attended by about 7,000 faithful, including tourists and pilgrims, who flocked to the church on a warm evening and took their place behind rows of white-robed pontiffs. Francis drew lessons from the humility of Jesus’ first hours of life in a manger. “While Animals feed in their stalls, men and women in our world, in their hunger for wealth and power , consume even their neighbors, their brothers and sisters,” the pontiff lamented. “How many wars have we seen! And in how many places, even today, are human dignity and freedom treated with contempt!” “As always, the principal vict...

China accuses US of turning Taiwan into a powder keg with its latest sales to self-governing island

China's Defense Ministry is accusing the United States of turning of Taiwan into a powder keg with its latest sales of military equipment to the self-governing island democracy BEIJING -- China’s Defense Ministry accused the United States of turning Taiwan into a powder keg Wednesday with its latest sales of military equipment to the self-governing island democracy worth a total of $440.2 million. The U.S. State Department approved of the sale of 30 mm ammunition and related equipment, along with spare parts for Taiwan’s vehicles, small arms, combat weapon systems, and logistical support items.

China claims Taiwan as its own territory to be conquered by force if necessary and Tan said "stern representations” had been lodged with the U.S. “This is tantamount to acc...

Two teachers called out far-right activities at their German school. Then they had to leave town.

Two teachers in eastern Germany say they spent months unsuccessfully trying to counter the far-right atmosphere at their small town high school BURG, Germany -- Two teachers in eastern Germany tried to counter the far-right activities of students at their small town high school. They counseled bullies who threatened to beat up immigrant classmates. They gave more lessons about their country's Nazi past. They invited in a Black rapper to talk about mutual respect. None of it helped. In desperation, Laura Nickel and Max Teske wrote a public letter in which they described an atmosphere of intimidation at Mina Witkojc School in Burg. They reported students greeting each other with the Nazi salute, scratching swastikas on their desks and playing music with racist lyrics in the hallways. “Teachers and students who openly fight against far-right students and teachers fear for their safety,” the two said in the letter they sent to local newspapers. "The problem has to be recognized an...
