      1. How’s he the greatest? Most famous, probably, but there were ones with more confirmed kills.

        1. True there are much longer shots made in recent history but Hathcock needed to get in close on many of his missions and was using far less superior equipment compared to today’s standards.A good read is Marine Sniper which tells of many of his exploits.

          1. If you’re into “man vs. technology”, then Simo Hayha is your man. Highest number of kills and nearly all through iron sights. He hardy ever used optics.

          1. The longest kill recorded is by a JTF-2 sniper in Iraq in 2017, it is over 3.5km. And that is about 700m more than the second longest confirmed kill this time by an Australian in Afghanistan. They both used .50 cal rounds for that. The third place is currently held by a Ukrainian national guardsman who used an even more powerful 14.5mm riffle.

      2. “How could he do that if he is losing?”

        Worse than losing, Russia has been “stuck in the spring mud since 2022” according to sources on the internet keyboard war-room.

        I’m just wondering what people think Russia meant when it stated that it want’s “complete de-nazification of Ukraine”? I’m guessing that most westerners believe that means some sort of a parliamentary vote or maybe some community referendums to ask the nazi’s to cease & desist and then take up jobs at Wal-Mart.

        I’m betting that Russia meant something else.

        1. Yes of course they are stuck, their ability to push the front lines can be measured in city blocks per week. The longest three day war ever. And one where orcs are suffering disproportional loses against valiant Ukrainian defenders. Orc ability to kill Ukrainian civilians outside of occupied territories has been largely confined to terrorist missile attacks on residential high rises, hospitals and other civilian targets. And those attacks have decreased in intensity as orcs are running out of missiles.

          The story is of course different within occupied territory where orcs are committing genocide that you are applauding while at the same time denying that it is happening.

          What orcs meant by “de-nazification” is irrelevant as everything they say is a lie and there were no Nazis in any position of power or authority in Ukraine to begin with. “De-nazification” is just a cover word for genocide and ethnic cleansing.

          Besides there is no rational argument why orcs are better than Nazis. Orcs are very much like Nazis, except less, organized, have lower average IQ, less spiffy uniforms, higher propensity for rape, sodomy and livestock abuse, and a significantly lower standard of personal hygiene. An argument about alleged superiority of orcs over Nazis cannot be logically made.

          1. LOL, colourful bigotry 🙂

            Not picking sides, as it’s none of our business other than having our tax dollars taken from us to finance this slaughter of otherwise healthy white christian males on either side. Yet I do understand that using “residential high rises, hospitals and other civilian targets” as human shields is exactly how Saddam Hussein played war.

            We don’t need to guess as to what the Ukrainian Nazi’s are worried about here. Obviously if they lose they will flee, probably with millions of dollars they looted from the “assistance” programs. Most probably they will be hunted by Russian intelligence to the ends of the earth much like the Israeli Mossad did with the German Nazi’s after the war.

            I wonder if Russian intelligence will capture and extradite back for public trials? Maybe not, but I do get the sentiment “to the last Ukrainian” by the Zelenski regime because losing will definitely mean losing BIG if things go further south from here – to be sure.

          2. It is amazing how you can openly lie in every paragraph. How you don’t even bother trying to be consistent in your lies. You claim not to pick sides and then side with orcs 100%. You’re so worthless.

            In any case Ukrainians are white, orcs are mostly Asian, not that it matters to anyone who (unlike you) isn’t racist. When you look at videos of orcs you see pretty much two kinds: relatively healthy Asians and whites with fetal alcohol syndrome on their snouts. No wonder the proportion of whites and those nominally Christian is dropping rapidly in Orgrimmar.

            Further, followers of Muscovite patriarchate should not be considered Christian, as the alleged church is merely a tool of the state pagan state.

            The rest is retarded lies and orc fantasies. Meanwhile back in the real orcs have kidnaped tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children. A crime for which there will never be forgiveness. It is orcs who will be hunted around the world like Nazis were.

          3. My long reply is moderated and dissipated, so a worthless debate from here on……if it had any worth that is, guess we’ll never know.

        2. SDA is quickly becoming a no-go place for debating ideas, at least they don’t appear to moderate and cancel fluff pieces like arguments about cookie recipes and such (I think).

          Why not just go the CBC route, post the stories you want and disable comments entirely?

    2. Every statement made was out there for all to see, at least to those of us who are able to read. I was aware of every one listed. If I was aware tens of millions should have been aware.

      1. VOWG Regarding item #1. I was in a supermarket checkout line, the woman nextto me was speaking to her companion “Well, at least there is no ‘flu this season” Turns around, does I, and retorts “That’s because everything is being diagnosed as Covid”. One of the ladies grunted agreement, the other was puzzled.

    1. What else ?
      For starters how bout those poor beagles that were eaten alive by sand flies, that was an interesting experiment, cutting out their vocal cords so the researchers couldn’t hear their whimpering cries.
      I am sure there are lots more, like his 80’s AIDS experiments on homeless children….

    “While the US dollar’s role as international reserve currency will not be replaced anytime soon, a process of bifurcation of the global economy has already begun. We are now witnessing the emergence of parallel commodity-based financial blocs in trade, investment, finance and development loans. This will be facilitated by new financial institutions such as the BRICS’ New Development Bank and China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the increased use of currencies other than the US dollar in regional energy trade. Moscow and Beijing are working on the creation of an international reserve currency and an integrated inter-bank payments system based on a commodity-linked basket of BRICS currencies to counter Western financial sanctions.”

    1. What will?

      Canadians are too busy on their smartphones watching the latest mental pablum and hoping for the latest government program while the government is busy picking the pockets of those who are still working.

    2. Canaduh is irretrievably broken, beyond repair.

      Why? Because not enough people recognize we have a problem. We simply do not have the numbers. Between the [spit] Progs, the Commies & the CINO’s, far too many are entirely comfortable w/ the status quo and no amount of facts, figures and logic is going to change that. As I always say, you can’t Logic a Prog.

      As such, and as I’ve noted before, we need to focus our resources on separation for a few provinces for which there may be some hope.

      WEXIT!!!

      1. I agree with your assessment of this country, but I’m giving it one last chance: if I see a significant uptick in support for the PPC, I’ll conclude there is still some hope.

        If not, I’ll conclude it is indeed over, finished, and done. At that point:

        #Wexit

    1. “This is the Moore of Moore’s Law.”

      Okay, now I know who he is (number of transistors in an IC doubling every two years). Thanks.

    1. I trust it will praise The British Empire for ending all slavery, globally.

    1. UnMe’s Cultural turdworlders at work and play making Canada Great Again.
      /s for those that don’t follow along.

    1. And they will be refused refugee status… if they don’t promise to vote for Dear Leader!

    A Canada-wide warrant was issued for the arrest of Omary Bent, 26, of Toronto — who police described as “armed and dangerous” — in connection with the shooting.

    1. Ramavan for the unbelievers.
      Decorated with their blood and guts all over the sidewalks.

    1. Give ’em all a rubber hammer & send ’em to the local quarry to bang on rocks while their deportation orders are sorted out.

    1. Should have put sand in every engine oil filler and started it up .
      But I have seen what the Pakistanis can do with very little to repair something so it would have been a wash even if everything was turned to junk.

  37. Shoot, Robert … nope. Missed it. However I did catch a couple Oakland Seals games at that “Oakland Arena” (read: Oakland Coliseum) … GLOVE SAVE by Meloche!! Yeah, Gilles Meloche was pretty much our ONLY player. I was in 8th grade in 1970 … living in abject poverty in one of the wealthiest suburbs in the Bay Area. My only brother and I living with our fully dysfunctional alcoholic father in a nasty “downtown” apartment building. All my friends lived in sprawling ranch homes on acre+ lots. How poor were we? I wore ONE pair of converse tennis shoes the entire 8th grade year. Yes, they were held together with duct tape that I stole from the hardware store. I was mocked endlessly by my “friends” as this was long before torn jeans and taped shoes were CA chic fashion. No, don’t feel sorry for me … it just is what it is. But it made me seriously focused on 1) never becoming a drunk and 2) getting an education and always working hard. So, no … no money, no transportation, and a father who detested rock and roll hippie music. No Credence concert for me.

    Which is sad … because I was a MASSIVE Credence fan. Not only because they were a local “Berkeley” band … really, El Cerrito if I remember correctly … but because of Fogerty’s unique sounding blues guitar. It was only years later that I connected his unique sound in main part due to the fact he played the blues through a jangly- sounding Rickenbacker guitar. I’ve never heard any other blues musician play a Rickenbacker. Byrds meets Muddy Waters … weird … but so infectious sounding. And Credence was in my cassette player the summer of 1970 when I lost my virginity to a high school sophomore … what could be sweeter? Hey! we were poor, so what did I have except to explore sex the summer before high school. I know … wayyyyy TMI … but that’s the effect Credence has on me. And yes … I would loved to have “gotten to know” many of the girls in that concert footage … even if they were “older women” … hahahaha. And yes … I have the full set of Credence on vinyl by Analogue Productions …

    Absolutely magnificent sounding. And let me add that Stu Cook and Doug Clifford were/are some of the best bassists and drummers in all of rock music. Credence owes much of their sound to their musicianship. And yeah … Tom Fogerty was there … that’s about all.

    1. @Kenji

      Heh, I remember going to the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary with a buddy in the early 80’s to see Stevie Ray Vaughan and his new protegee at the time Colin James. All I had was a bag full of change from a savings jar that I dumped on the ticket counter, which he lady sadly counted shaking her head side to side like “oh dear oh dear”. Of course we were short, way short, but she looked at us like poor abandoned puppy’s and told us to come back when the show started and she’d see what she could do. Later approaching the counter she beamed and said she had two empty seats to sell us for what we had – turned out 2 seats front and centre stage. Great Day!

  38. The word “$imu|tane0us|y ” properly spelled is for some reason getting caught in the filter.

  40. Economic reality is the Pareto distribution. 80/20 rule. Every single regime that has used this natural distribution as a pretext to impose some kind of partisan BS has only made it worse…and now we get the WEF with a 90/10 or worse also deciding not only wealth distribution, but power distribution, ie all for them, none for us.
    Power, unlike wealth, is a zero-sum game.
    But you freaking morons, what with all the tings you’re scared of, want to give power and wealth to others, because you are freakin’ afraid to leave your freakin’ house without some kind of (fraudulent) guarantee of safety.

    1. ” I always try to celebrate that by turning on every light in the house.”
      How manly of you, being willing to pay a few bucks to your owners in order to show off.
      One day, maybe you’ll actually figure out what it is to be a man, and it ain’t got nuthin to do with your effin light switches.

  42. Being a man is all about effin light switches! You’re talking like a guy who’s never effed a light switch, buddy!
