Too close for missiles switching to guns
Video shows a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 shooting down a Russian jet-powered Geran-4 drone at point-blank range with its onboard cannon, then flying through the resulting fireball.
The footage is so clear that even the muzzle flashes from the cannon on the MiG-29’s left side are visible as it fires

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr:
In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine.
She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation.
Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Ossoff is good on this stuff
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
