The U.S. Space Force has announced that the fourth Lockheed Martin-built GPS III space vehicle (GPS III SV04) has received Operational Acceptance in record time – the satellite was launched on Nov. 5. The details were given in a 2 December media release, to announce that GPS III SV04 received the U.S. Space Force’s Operational Acceptance approval on Dec. 1- marking yet another significant milestone for the GPS III program, Space and Missile Systems Center and USSF.

Amid a salvo of orbital missions preparing to launch from the American east coast, a SpaceX Falcon 9 is set to launch the fourth GPS III satellite for the United States Space Force. Liftoff is scheduled for 9:43 PM EDT on Friday, October 2 (01:43 UTC on October 3), the opening of a 15 minute window.

The forecast deteriorates to a 20% chance of favorable […]
In late October 2004, South Park aired one of its most iconic episodes—a pre-election installment called “Douche and Turd,” which crystallized the show’s nihilism, political and otherwise. The douche and turd were an on-the-nose symbol for the idea that in any given election, both politicians tend to be equally unappealing. But on Wednesday night, the long-running animated show defied its central tenet—the one insisting that caring at all is the stupidest position to take in any argument. And it did so in a way that one might imagine could perplex its creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, in their younger years. […]

On Monday, the Headquarters Allied Air Command press release said that the fourth remotely piloted aircraft of NATO’s Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) Force arrived at the Italian Air Force Base in Sigonella, Italy. The RQ-4D Phoenix aircraft took off from Edwards Air Force Base in California, USA, at 18:33 local time on July 25 and landed at Sigonella at 16:20 local time the following day, almost 22 hours later. The arrival of the fourth aircraft represents another successful step for NATO’s Alliance Ground Surveillance Force. Less than two weeks after the landing of the third RQ-4D remotely piloted aircraft, also called […]
By Wayne Allyn Root Was this past weekend the last time we will celebrate the 4thof July? Right now, that certainly looks possible. About a decade ago I wrote the book, “The Murder of the Middle Class.”Don’t look now, but sadly…tragically…it’s really happening. The left is crazy, extreme, radical, violent and ready for civil war. The Republican right is…outside of President Trump…a bunch of pathetic wimps ready to raise the white flag. We are the closest we’ve ever been to losing America. Have you ever seen as many spineless Republican politicians as we see today? Black Lives Matter is a Marxist […]
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is warning citizens to avoid Fourth of July celebrations during the Covid-19 pandemic, yet is fully in support of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and was even pictured at one not wearing a mask. “We’re going to have to celebrate differently this year. Everyone should cancel plans with others for the 4th of July. You shouldn’t gather with anyone who doesn’t live in your household,” Garcetti tweeted on Friday. He followed up on the actual holiday with multiple tweets doubling down on his warning. “Happy Fourth. Please stay home and avoid gatherings with others. And don’t […]

Appearing on MSNBC Friday night, PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor trashed America in comments about President Trump’s appearance at Mount Rushmore last night for a Fourth of July celebration. Alcindor was so wound up spewing her contempt for America, Trump and his supporters that she frequently stumbled over her words trying get it all out in minute long stream of consciousness rants. Yamiche Alcindor: “I think what we’re seeing is a president who’s determined to fly in the face of uh, the experts and his own health officials, environmental experts, as well as people who are saying that, that […]
Fourth Of July Musings By Danny Sjursen, ScheerPost.com.

Our messianic belief that we are the chosen nation has been disastrous for so many here and abroad. Once again, this Fourth of July, Americans will celebrate — to the unwitting militarist racist tune that is the “Star Spangled Banner” — more than just the nation’s Independence Day. Though most folks will, if at a reasonable social distance, focus more on the backyard beer and brats, U.S. jingoism and exceptionalism will invariably be on the menu. That last sentiment, particularly amidst […]
Sometimes aspects of life become so royally fucked up, there comes a point when you say, “Eh, screw it, I’ll go along with this for a bit, let’s kick it up to another level.” This country loves the Fourth of July—maybe less at present from the standpoint of proud patriotism, especially with how we’ve been going for a few years now, but certainly because of good times with friends, beers, cookouts, laughs, camaraderie, in-person summer social manna, which for many people is quite different than a chat on the phone. The Twilight Zone has a marathon every year, which is apt […]
Every year my wife Karen (her real name, and no, she’s not at all like that and has never asked to see the manager, or even the assistant manager) and I host what we call our “Round Up the Survivors” Fourth of July barbecue. Most New Yorkers of our demographic—middle aged, bourgeois—find a way of getting out of town for the Fourth, so some 25-odd years ago we started gathering up those of our friends who like us were stuck in town and looking for something to do on the holiday. We lived, then as now, in Brooklyn, in a somewhat-cockeyed […]
[Editor’s note: Hitler, the Nazi Party and the Third Reich were all created by Judeo-Zionist international finance and had two main purposes – to utterly and totally destroy Germany as a world power and to bring down Joseph Stalin. In the former, they had great success, in the latter, they failed miserably. Today, the Evil Empire of the USA has been transformed into the Fourth Reich under the disgusting, bloviating shitstain on the history of mankind known as Donald Trump. The DHS is the Gestapo, the Israeli-trained police are their stormtroopers and the US military is very similar to the Weimar-era […]

Less than a month after launching a new $515 million crypto fund, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is predicting that “high-quality projects” may drive a new growth cycle in the industry. The famous venture capital fund, which has a substantial crypto portfolio, said in a post Friday it anticipated some of the better projects created in the wake of the 2017 initial coin offering (ICO) boom to contribute to a new industry boom period. Pulling from “anecdotal” evidence and data going back 10 years, a16z says “price innovation cycles” – including those that peaked in 2011, 2013 and 2017 – begin with price […]
