An airstrike conducted in northwestern Syria has reportedly left two targets dead at the hands of the deadly “ninja” missile, otherwise known as the AGM-114R9X, a device that uses a set of six folding blades, meant to go through buildings and leave behind minimal civilian casualties.

The strike was reportedly carried out in Atmeh, which is five miles from the Turkish border and less than 10 miles away from where al-Baghdadi was killed.

There has been no official report on the identities of the two individuals killed, both of whom were inside a vehicle, but Daily Mail is reporting that one target is suspected to be Abu Ahmad al-Muhajir, a member of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, which is an offshoot of Al Qaeda.

America’s biggest celeb couple


In a first-ever memoir, Michelle Obama was paid a $65 million advance for ‘Becoming’.

America’s biggest celeb couple raked in a $50 million deal with Netflix.  In addition, the former first lady reportedly commands a speaking fee of $225,000—without varying the topic based on the outrageous lie that ‘Capitalism is killing America’.

Did the Obamas deliberately make Michelle the principle cash cow in order to avoid criticism of an American president being truthfully portrayed as one of America’s top multi-millionaires?

What—if any—taxes did the Obamas pay on their $115 million windfall from the combined $65 million book advance and the $50 million Netflix deal?

Piers Morgan Blasts European Leaders Mocking Trump: ‘Sniggering And B****ing Like Spiteful Little Mean Girls’

 Piers Morgan attends the 2019 British Academy Britannia Awards presented by American Airlines and Jaguar Land Rover at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on October 25, 2019 in Beverly Hills, California.

On Wednesday, Piers Morgan blasted the European leaders who mocked President Trump at a meeting for NATO leaders in Europe, snapping that they acted like “spiteful little Mean Girls.”

Morgan was referring to the hot-mic video clip showing French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte joking about Trump at Buckingham Palace.

Dated

On a recent afternoon Jeon Je Yong sits at the dining table, eating plums.

Jeon is sitting an arm’s length away from Peter Nguyen, a man he rescued on the high seas 22 years ago.

On Nov. 14, 1985, Nguyen was stuck in a dinky fishing boat, bobbing on the Pacific Ocean with a broken motor, 96 people on board – many of them young children separated from their parents. They were all fleeing the Communist regime in Vietnam.

Stuck on a lifeless boat with no restrooms for three days, hope was scarce. Petrified eyes stared at the large, black storm clouds looming overhead.

Something of Value


An excerpt from North Carolina author Robert Ruark’s best known novel reads: “If a man does away with his traditional way of living and throws away his good customs, he had better first make certain that he has something of value to replace them.”

Ruark grew up in Wilmington where he learned to hunt and fish with his grandfathers in the 1920s.

He entered the Chapel Hill campus of the University of North Carolina (UNC) in 1931 at age fifteen.

Ancestors on both sides of his family were Confederate soldiers.  This week the university threw away a part of its tradition when it defied a 2015 state law and banished the Silent Sam Confederate statue from any of the fourteen North Carolina counties that have a UNC campus.

THE INCREDIBLE "ROCK-APES" OF VIETNAM'S DONG-DEN

Special "Thanks" to Dave "Doc" Snider for the excellent photographs of Dong-Den and for providing what may be the only existing photograph of an actual "Rock Ape."

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman has a very interesting post over on his Cryptomundo website. The post is about the "Rock Apes" of Vietnam. You can check out the post here. http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/vn-rock-ape/

Make sure and read all the comments at the bottom of the post as they are every bit as intriguing as the article.

That said, I had already heard of the so-called "Rock Apes" some years ago from a buddy of mine who served in country with 1st Marine Division, 1st Recon Battalion, Delta Company until he was wounded in action on June 21, 1969. While researching details of marine sevice during those years, I came across several references to the Rock Apes and their encounters with Marine detachments, some of which I am going to share here with the intention of adding more to the already existing anecdotal record of these unusual cryptids.

80 Years Since the Winter War – Memory Stays Alive

2019 is the 80th anniversary of the Winter War (1939–1940) between the Soviet Union and Finland. The small nation of Finland succeeded in defending its territories against a far larger army of the Soviet Union.

On the 30th of November 1939 Soviet troops attacked Finland in order to seize the areas which according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact belonged to the Soviet Union.

Against all odds, Finland, a weak, sparsely populated and diplomatically isolated nation, succeeded in causing staggering losses on a far more potent aggressor by skillfully utilizing the wintery conditions.

George Washington University’s Jonathan Turley: 'This Is Not How You Impeach an American President'

This law professor taught Democrats a lesson. The only question was whether they’re willing to learn.

George Washington University’s Jonathan Turley is generally considered a liberal. But he was the sole member of Wednesday’s parade of scholars to testify before the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing who was selected by the Republican side, according to the Washington Examiner.

It didn’t take long for a listener to find out why they wanted him.
