Advocates argue that the proposed ban is misguided, noting that the majority of mass shootings are perpetrated by men, not transgender individuals, while organizations like GLAAD emphasize the elevated risks of violence faced by transgender people. Gun rights advocates, including the National Rifle Association, have strongly opposed any blanket ban on…

In a clever twist of battlefield strategy, the Ukrainian army utilizes thousands of decoys, ranging from inflatable tanks to plywood artillery, to mislead Russian forces. Volunteers have crafted around 160 M777 howitzer replicas that can be assembled in just three minutes, allowing Ukrainian troops to draw enemy fire away from real artillery, potentially saving vital military resources. These decoys not only serve to confuse and waste enemy ammunition but also demonstrate the creative tactics being employed in modern warfare. For instance, the Ukrainian military claims that about half of the drones involved in Russian air attacks are cheap imitations, designed…

This contrasts us from society’s normal sheeple, who are generally the inverse, to wit: Poorly-trained, unarmed or very poorly armed minimally stocked, morally ambiguous and opportunistic, choose to live in vulnerable regions (i.e. high-population coastal cities) generally oblivious and under-informed, and, system-dependent. Media and Politics One of the great ironies of 21st-century society is that the mass media is fixated on trauma and drama,…
