As disturbing as these things are, it pales in comparison to what countless Americans are going to take in the ass in 2017.

The Iowa was designed to survive and win a sustained engagement taking direct fire from 16" armor piercing shells with >2000lb warheads travelling more than 1500MPH. She doesn’t have much fear for 500 or 1000lb warheads attached to missiles let alone a sea chicken. Also keep in mind the Iowa has 4 CIWS mounts and…

The book of the same name, “Operation: Mincemeat,” (Ben Macintyre - Times writer) is by far the best way to delve into this story. The documentaries are great for inspiring people to seek out further information but I often wonder how many people actually do.

Rehashing 80s BBC documentaries that ran constantly on the history channel in the 90s.

This ship is Littoraly almost impossible to sink.

Personally, I found his tribute to Flight 370 incredibly touching.

It's hard for Trump to have a firm grasp on anything, given the size of his fingers.

Because as ridiculous as the NFL is, the IOC is the most corrupt sports organization in the world. They make the NFL look like the Boy Scouts.

What did the IOC have to gain by lying? I know they are protecting a brand, but even Goodell knows to start with “We are investigating reports that...”
