IF YOU THINK MISSILE DEFENSE IS EXPENSIVE, TRY LOSING A CITY: U.S. Approves Quadrupled THAAD Interceptor Production to Counter Rising Missile Threats. “U.S. Company Lockheed Martin has signed a landmark framework agreement with the U.S. Department of War (DoW) to expand Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor production from 96 to 400 units per year. This decisive industrial ramp-up responds to advanced missile threats and signals a Pentagon shift toward sustained high-volume strategic defense manufacturing.”

ONLY 85 SECONDS TO DOOMSDAY: That’s according to the “Doomsday Clock” maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. Funny thing, though, as explained by Issues & Insights, the clock seems to be opposite reality:

“First, look at the reasons behind why it ticked closer to midnight this year. One of those listed was the bombing of Iran’s nuclear weapons sites last year. So, according to these ‘experts,’ crippling a radical Islamic regime’s ability to build a nuclear bomb is making the world less safe?

“Then there’s the fact that the bulletin includes ‘climate change’ as an indicator of annihilation. What does a supposedly warming planet have to do with launching nuclear bombs? And why does it matter if the Trump administration ‘stripped back’ (to use the New York Times’ words) public health infrastructure?”

There more of this leftist gibberish. Go here.

 

IT’S FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: His Car Was So Hot… “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week, we’ll learn how not to get into the cocaine industry, what not to do with a vacuum cleaner, and too much about Louisiana’s not-so-littlest mermaid.”

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Democrats Charge Forward With Shutdown Threat Over ICE Funding. “Republican Sens. Ted Budd of North Carolina, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Lee of Utah, Ashley Moody and Rick Scott of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama also opposed advancing the funding package. The conservative group of lawmakers contains several leading fiscal hawks and opponents of abortion. Budd told reporters he voted “no” over concerns about ‘abortion funding’ in the package.”

THE BEATLES’ FINAL LIVE PERFORMANCE WAS CUT SHORT BY POLICE 57 YEARS AGO TODAY:

Even after their instruments were set up on the roof of Apple Corps, Lennon, McCartney, Starr, and Harrison almost didn’t go through with it.

The director [Michael Lindsay-Hogg] explained, “We planned to do it about 12:30 to get the lunchtime crowds. They didn’t agree to do it as a group until about 20 to 1:00. Paul wanted to do it, and George didn’t. Ringo would go either way. Then John said, ‘Oh [f***], let’s do it,’ and they went up and did it.”

Police were called after noise complaints came in from neighboring buildings surrounding the rooftop and clogged streets from the thousands who stopped to listen. Police officer Ray Dagg and other officers were forced to end what would turn out to be the last live performance by the world’s most famous band.

“We’ve had 30 complaints at West End Central in minutes,” former London Metropolitan Police officer Dagg said in a video clip. “Turn the PA off, and we’ll see what happens.”

Fifty years after the incident, in 2019, Dagg told The Times of London the event was “just work, and it’s blown up into all this. It’s ridiculous, I just don’t understand it.”

He continued, “At that time, I didn’t know that they would never play together again. At least there’s something on a film somewhere that will forever show that PC Ray Dagg shut down the Beatles.”

Additionally, Dagg told CTV that reflecting on the moment, he didn’t know if he actually would have arrested The Beatles. “The problem with it is that for the offenses they were committing, there was no power of arrest on private property. It has to be on public property.”

“So it would have meant arresting them on private property,” Dagg said. “Taking them outside, and then I’d have gotten into a lot of trouble if I turned up at the station with The Beatles in tow, wrongfully arrested.”

Would have been a great ending to the movie, though!
