Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte tells USA the country is tired of being a rest area for American troops; time to hand out bags of 💰💰💰 or piss off:

The President of the Philippines has conceded that the “exigency” of the geopolitical situation makes the presence of US troops in the country a necessity, but warned Washington it won’t be getting anything for free this time.
“I want to put notice, if there is an American agent here, if you want VFA [Visiting Forces Agreement], you have to pay. You have to pay because it is a shared responsibility,” President Rodrigo Duterte said on Friday night.
“Your share of responsibility does not come free because, after all, when the war breaks out, we all pay,” he added, during an inspection of new air assets of the Philippine Air Force at Clark Air Base.
He better watch his six.

Night launches are the best.
With one exception, when the boosters return to base for landing. You get two double sonic booms in a few seconds. Literally you have to see it to believe it. Daylight only, afaik.
That pic is Biolab Boat Ramp, but I have a spot in Peacock's Pocket that's better. A few miles down a dirt road next to the Shuttle Runway.
Launch Complex 39 and 40 are on the extreme north end of KSP. Good to know which pads they are using for launch. They do landings on the military area on the south end of Cape Canaveral. You don't want to be caught on the reservation there.

Will the Biden Administration object to China aggression? If not, that will tell us a lot about who's controlling the U.S. President.
There were also people there that day actually.

You mean they gave "President" Biden one of these Red phones?
In amateur radio, QRP operation refers to transmitting at reduced power while attempting to maximize one's effective range. QRP operation is a specialized pursuit within the hobby that was first popularized in the early 1920s. QRP operators generally limit their transmitted RF output power to 5 watts or less for CW operation and 10 watts or less for SSB operation. Reliable two-way communication at such low power levels can be challenging due to changing radio propagation and the difficulty of receiving the relatively weak transmitted signals. QRP enthusiasts may employ optimized antenna systems, enhanced operating skills, and a variety of special modes, in order to maximize their ability to make and maintain radio contact. Since the late 1960s, commercial transceivers specially designed for QRP operation have evolved from vacuum tube to solid state technology. A number of organizations dedicated to QRP operation exist, and aficionados participate in various contests designed to test their skill in making long-distance contacts at low power levels.
President Alexander Lukashenko said Thursday that Belarus had beaten back a foreign-led onslaught to overthrow his government, after months of protests against his decades-long rule.
"The blitzkrieg did not succeed, we held on to our country," Lukashenko said in a speech at the opening of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly that brought together hundreds of loyal delegates for a two-day convention in the capital Minsk.

Ahahhahahahaha...oh lordy....literally the most monkeyish election in the history of banana republics.
I'm sorry but i just can't get over how utterly blatant and clownish that election was. Like...#ing literal third world banana republics with cia backed governments have more free and fair elections than that utter fiasco...
Well i guess maybe they try to hide it better?
It just shows the utter disdain they have for the american public and the utter stupidity of people that sit and fill their minds with main stream corporate media garbage.
What a #ing clown show the american government is and the worst part is they're not even trying to hide it, they're all but bragging about how much they #ed the entirety of america.
