Wagner mercenaries marching on Moscow. Civil war looms...

Posted By David Cotterell
from the BBC...

A year ago Russia considered themselves the second best army in the world.
Three months ago it became clear that Russia had the second best army in Ukraine.
Now it seems Russia has the second best army in Russia!

This is a fast-moving story right now but it bears keeping an eye on...

The political price of many tiers of justice

If your child committed a crime are YOU guilty too?  I just don't get all this fuss over the things Hunter or Jared and Ivanka did being a factor in selecting a President.

Since you asked....

My most recent hearing test showed a 10db per octave roll-off above 2kHz!   So I'm getting a kick out of all the expensive, high end gear being discussed here. grin

I did have a bunch of high end gear earlier in life -  Magneplanars, B&W 802's, Mackintosh pre and power amp etc.  But I've cooled that a lot.   My current set-up is good enough for me and my Tinnitus (50 years of being in bands and 20 as a HS Band director).  Currently I run 8-inch two way self powered studio monitors and a B&W 12" subwoofer from a Behringer mixer with source music being from iTunes,  FLAC files, CD's and a good old FM radio...  

I will be a hearing aids guy before the year is out...

Rich, the Art-Deco vibe of the cabinetry is very nicely done...

'Biased news' is nothing more than news that conflicts with a person's personal political leanings.

e.g. Richard Davis and Greg Shaffer (among others) believe the news sources linked by Jim Moscheck and Rod Kaufman (among a different group of others) are 'biased'.  Meanwhile Jim and Rod believe the news sources referred to by Richard and Greg are biased.   

Where would any of the regular denizens here recommend we find 100% politically neutral news?  Does such a thing even exist?

Scene:  A news broadcast.  "Today (politician) said this at a rally. <video of him saying it>.  In response (his opponent) said this. <video of him saying it> 
Now in sports news.......  

i.e NO COMMENTS from the presenter.

Trump being presidential again.

Posted By David Cotterell
Trump mocks U.S. women's soccer team loss at the World Cup.

What a role model he is.

Cue the Biden whataboutism from the usual suspects in 5...4...3...2...
