Aaaand the hero of the Afghan covfefe - Milley - is out.

Female cadet? They know he's a fake. I wonder if they can see the mask if they are really close.

Haha, with 1080p, you can see zits. It was a real problem when we moved from NTSC to HD. Makeup departments had to update. I knew about this problem in 1995, I was at RCA, and test video showed everything. 1080p is near your visual fidelity, 4K is mostly beyond it except the center of your eye. 8K is beyond your visual fidelity - it has higher pixel density than any spot in your eye.

720p was chosen because it was "good enough" - a good compromise between NTSC and what you'd be able to reasonably see on a projector. You can differentiate between bluray and DVD, but generally not while the picture is in motion, you need a still image to see the difference. From 1080p to 4K you can see a difference ONLY with a still image, from 4K to 8K, you can't see a difference.

That's why nobody here has an 8K monitor, although they are available.

We're at the point of "who cares if it's better?" for 99.99% of the population for CONSUMER electronics. The 0.01% of the population are mentally ill snobbish assholes that think that "if it's better, it shows I'm a superior person". They will claim they can see a difference, they can't. From audiophiles to videophiles.

I think that we'll settle on 4K as the standard resolution, because going beyond that is pointless.

But really, this appalling spectacle isn’t about Joe Biden at all. It isn’t about whether he’s broken his hip, or is about to, or even whether he is an abused elder in need of rescue. The point is, Biden — sadly — is the apparent leader of our Nation.

When Biden falls, America falls. When Biden is a weak, spiteful, disgruntled old man, so is America.

It is even worse that Biden fell at a military event, delivering a speech about the alleged strength of NATO. What symbolism. I can’t imagine the heyday the media team at Russia Today is having. Say what you like about that t-shirted moron Zelensky, but at least he can walk in a straight line without falling down.

Now you can’t say I never said anything nice about Vladimir Zelenskyy. ...

Our geriatric maniac-in-charge may not know exactly what he’s doing all the time. He might also be so many levels deep in blackmail he can’t even remember who he’s supposed to be working for. But remember: This is the man who leveraged his presidential office to call unvaccinated people a dangerous threat to their co-workers, and called Trump supporters a dangerous threat to our democracy. Joe represents the country, and his stumbling around makes the country look weak and inept at a critical time when we need to look competent and strong.

Dementia Joe still knows ENOUGH, such that my sympathy for his embarrassing missteps is muted. For lots of reasons, Joe needs to be eased out of the Presidential home and into a care home. Hopefully, a care home organized according to all the rules he imposed on our elderly loved ones. For safety.

There is anarchy in the USA.

More and more, Americans are living every day in a dystopia that just a few years ago would have been utterly unimaginable.

From major cities to the border, and even in some suburbs, the rule of law is now all but meaningless, with hard-working families left to pay the price in blood and treasure.

The America we grew up in – of bright shopping malls that weren’t attacked by thieving mobs, of gas stations where carjacking wasn't commonplace, and of public transport that didn't double as a homeless shelter – is vanishing.

Last week came the sobering figure that our country now has $100 billion-a-year shoplifting habit.

One hundred billion dollars. The annual budget for the entire state of Maryland is a mere $65 billion.

And this is money that, according to the National Retail Federation, stores are never getting back. As brazen crooks stuff backpacks full of goods unchallenged, the police – cripplingly over-stretched – will likely never even turn up. ...

In the rare instances criminals are apprehended, George Soros-backed district attorneys simply ignore them, preferring instead to pursue trumped-up charges and phony indictments to further social justice.

Indeed, things are particularly bad in Democrat-run cities.

Chicago, New York, San Fransisco. Once great bastions of American prosperity, reduced to fentanyl-addled, rat-infested hellholes, as their ultra-liberal leaders waste cash on woke policies, decriminalize hard drugs and use their podiums to lecture us on transgender injustice. ...

Truth.

There will be no face-saving for the “Joe Biden” regime, either, which is reaching its own collapse phase. Last week’s face-plant at the Air Force Academy was the harbinger of things-to-come. Today (Monday), FBI officials must walk over to the House oversight Committee an internal FD-1023 document revealed by a whistleblower to contain allegations of a Biden family $5-million bribery scheme with foreign actors. Of course, the substance of this criminal mischief is not news. What’s news is that the allegations contained in the doc come from a “trusted” confidential human source, meaning that, according to the FBI’s own rules, the allegation should have been dealt with expeditiously. Instead, the Bureau sat on it for three years. The FD-1023 doc is dated 2020, months before that year’s presidential election. The source is also alleged to be from Ukraine.

Will committee members be allowed to photo-copy the doc, or transcribe what’s in it? Wouldn’t it be amusing if Committee Chairman James Comer personally walks it over to the Xerox machine? What would the FBI officials do? Body check him? What if it turns out that the doc is full of redactions — blacked out. Like a big, fat practical joke from FBI Director Christopher Wray. (They’ve done it before.) Remember, Mr. Wray is already under threat of a contempt citation for stalling on this matter. But he’s obviously caught between that old rock and a hard place, since the doc appears to prove that, at least, the FBI has obstructed justice, and of the worst sort, a potential case of presidential treason. Mr. Wray may even be colored as an accomplice in it.

So Washington was told ahead of time that the Taliban would quickly take over Afghanistan, persecute friendlies, and gain access to billions of dollars of US military supplies, if there was not a course correction.

Biden and the State department ignored the info from top people in the field and allowed the ensuing chaos.

Lovely.

So now the rainbow rag is held to the same stature as the Colors of The United States of America?

Higher. If you burn the US flag, it's free speech. If you burn the tranny flag, it's considered hate speech.

I typed "tranny" and autocorrect turned it to "tyranny ".

LET'S GO BRANDON! (CLAP CLAP) LET'S GO BRANDON!

EDIT:
At the awards ceremony at my son's school, one boy after receiving his award stumbled and fell on the stage. My wife and I looked at each other and concluded that it was staged since it wasn't a loud thump. We then wondered why he did it. I said "It's probably a tribute to Biden, who falls all over the place." She agreed, and then I spoke the magic words to the NY libtards around me, "Let's go Brandon! Let's go Brandon!"

Yes I'm an asshole.

U.S. — The official state religion of the United States entered its High Holy Days today, with worshippers around the nation being called to rededicate themselves in submission and obedience to its holy teachings.

"I am urging all Americans to publicly bend the knee before our sacred rainbow symbol," said President Biden in an address to the nation. "Let us all take the time to feast and pray before our god of prideful human flesh, and before its sacred messengers, the genitals. We are a nation of Pride, blessings be upon its name. Just celebrate it, folks! Not a joke! Ok, can I have my snack now?"

Holy prophets in public schools, corporate DEI departments, and Target supermarkets have been dispatched across the land to bear witness to the glories of Pride and destroy the lives of those who refuse to publically worship the vengeful deity. "Blasphemy will not be tolerated," said Divine Elder Mixie Vavoom, (they/them). "We are the eyes and ears of Pride, and we are watching you."

The High Holy Days of Pride will conclude this weekend with 1000 abortions and 1000 gender surgeries performed publically on the steps of the White House.
