However, my old school thinking.
Has me still trying to understand how a healthy HS School hormone loaded 16 or 17y/o Young Man is being sexually abused for getting willingly laid by an attractive young female.

We already have the precedent of a teacher getting pregnant by a student and then successfully suing for child support when student became an adult. Control, manipulation can be very abusive.

about 4 million teachers in the USA
about 10% or so are female and teach grades 8-12
it should not be surprising that a small number are sexually attracted to male students
the problem is that the opportunity for sexual encounters is significant because of the multiple paths for secret communication and the respect for community morality has decayed

There isn't in a natural setting. But this is a structured setting when at best what you have is a steward of a child failing the Gom Jabbar and the student learns that they don't have to earn it just try to lay it. The real bad stuff happens when teacher uses authority to pressure the student into shagging on penalty of grades and in-class hen pecking creating gender and authority issues basically leading them into walking dead if not for the fact the easily influenced follow them along.
Taken to its extreme for contrast and clarity, its the RN in Kill Bill 1.

[GlavnoeLife] The Investigative Committee of Russia announced the detention of Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Timur Ivanov on suspicion of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. We tell you who Timur Ivanov is and about the criminal case for taking a bribe.
WHO IS TIMUR IVANOV
Ivanov is a man with a civilian background; he spent most of his career in the energy sector. Ivanov was born in 1975 in Moscow - thus, he can become the youngest of Sergei Shoigu’s current deputies. If he is appointed, the leadership of the ministry will be biased toward civilians over the military.
Ivanov has a diploma from the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University with a degree in applied mathematics. It is curious that he graduated from the university in 1997 and immediately after graduation, according to his official biography posted on the Oboronstroy website, “he held senior positions in commercial organizations.” Since 1999, he was an adviser to the head of the department for the construction of nuclear facilities of the Ministry of Atomic Energy, then an adviser to the first deputy head of Rosenergoatom, and later became the first vice president of Atomstroyexport, from where he left for the post of deputy chairman of the board of Inter RAO UES. At the same time, Ivanov was in the position of adviser to the Minister of Energy.
In the period from 2009 to 2012, he was the general director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Russian Energy Agency” of the Ministry of Energy of Russia. He was a member of the working group of the government commission on energy efficiency issues of the fuel and energy complex. From 2011 to 2013, he was a member of the High-Level Group on Affordable Energy for All under UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
From March 2013 to May 2016, he held the position of General Director of JSC Oboronstroy (replacing Vladislav Germanovich in this post), which is directly and through JSC Garrison controlled by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
JSC Oboronstroy is a diversified company engaged in the construction of housing for military personnel, as well as socially significant and strategic military facilities. It includes enterprises involved in design, construction, manufacturing, logistics and energy.
Acting State Advisor of the Russian Federation, 1st class (2019). Honored Builder of the Russian Federation (2015). Hero of the LPR (2022).
“HONORARY BUILDER” IVANOV AND THE TRAGEDY IN SEVASTOPOL
Despite his short-term leadership of the Moscow region, Sergei Shoigu worked quite closely with Timur Ivanov, who managed to enter his inner circle. In November 2012, the former governor headed the defense department, and already in March 2013, Ivanov was appointed head of JSC Oboronstroy, an enterprise controlled by the Ministry of Defense and specializing in the construction of housing for military personnel, as well as socially significant and strategic military facilities.
Let us recall that the ministry at that time was rocked by a scandal related to the criminal case of Oboronservis and the new appointments were primarily aimed at the rehabilitation of this department mired in corruption. Its structure also included Oboronstroy. Ivanov was entrusted with one of the most financially promising areas - construction. And he had to justify the trust placed in him.
As the RBC portal reported, during his tenure, the new appointee “managed to complete several assignments of particular importance.” In particular, he built the Sevastopol Presidential Cadet School in record time in 2014, and also completed the construction of the Patriot Park in the Moscow region in 2015, for which he received the title “Honored Builder of Russia.”
A year earlier, Shoigu signed an order to award Ivanov the medal “For the Return of Crimea.” The Gazeta.ru portal wrote that the contribution of the general director of Oboronstroy to the expansion of Russian borders was “active participation in the restoration of the infrastructure” of the peninsula. The work proceeded at a really fast pace: the media noted that the cadet school alone was built in less than five months.
But quickly does not mean quality. Less than two weeks before the grand opening of the educational institution, an emergency occurred: the roof of one of the buildings under construction collapsed, a total of ten people were injured, and two construction workers were killed. The authors of press publications indignantly emphasized that if the structure had held out a little longer, children would have ended up under the rubble.
But when speed is the main indicator, everything else seems to fade into the background. Moreover, the tragic incident was soon safely forgotten, and the head of Oboronstroy received further titles and awards.
In May 2016, Timur Ivanov was appointed Deputy Defense Minister of Russia Sergei Shoigu. The appointment decree was signed on May 23. At the beginning of July 2016, he headed the Ministry of Defense commission to restore order in the Baltic Fleet, whose leadership was removed from duties at the end of June. At the Ministry of Defense, Timur Ivanov was responsible for organizing property management, quartering of troops (forces), housing and medical support for the Armed Forces.
Also, Timur Ivanov at the Ministry of Defense was primarily responsible for construction. In the new territories, all construction contracts were under him. These are astronomical amounts. And about the missus: TIMUR IVANOV'S WIFE IS SOCIALITE SVETLANA ZAKHAROVA
Nothing is known about Timur Ivanov’s first wife. But the second one is Svetlana Aleksandrovna Ivanova, ex-host of the “Take it off immediately!” program. on STS and an Israeli citizen, a rather interesting personality.
We can say that Timur Ivanov married successfully. His chosen one was a wealthy woman, but not entirely free - she was married for fifteen years to businessman and collector Mikhail Maniovich (Children from her first marriage with Mikhail Maniovich - daughter Alexandra (born 1998) and son Mark (born 2002). Guessed who speech? This is Svetlana Zakharova, owner of the Metropol Fashion Group, buyer, Moscow it-girl, regular at social events and host of the television program “Take it off immediately!”
As soon as Ivanov realized that he loved this particular woman, his career took off at cosmic speed. First, Ivanov was taken under the wing of Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko, and then Timur Vadimovich was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region. Just at this time, the governor of the Moscow region for a short time was Sergei Shoigu, who, after moving to the Ministry of Defense, took the young and talented official with him.
Timur Ivanov's wife has Israeli citizenship. She allegedly designed it thanks to the leader of the Izmailovo organized crime group, Anton Malevsky. There was even information in open sources that at the time of receiving an Israeli passport, Svetlana Zakharova lived in an apartment that belonged to Anton Malevsky. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs certificate, Malevsky is “a killer with sadistic tendencies.” They say that Zakharova was once his partner.
However, this is not the end of the family’s connections with the Deputy Minister of Defense abroad. Svetlana Zakharova’s daughter, Alexandra, also has an Israeli passport and has been living quietly with it in France for more than five years. Think about it, the adopted daughter of the Deputy Minister of Defense lives in an unfriendly country and almost every day posts photos with expensive bags and other accessories on social networks. And this is at a time when relatives of those mobilized are collecting their last pennies to buy the recruits the necessary uniforms and other items of equipment.
In 2018, Timur Ivanov’s wife became the richest wife of all Defense Ministry officials. She earned about 50 million rubles in a year. She owns several plots with a total area of 10,200 square meters, apartment with an area of 317 sq. m, which she shares with her husband, and a dacha. The deputy minister's wife has three cars (Bentley Continental, Aston Martin and Hummer H2), and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Ivanova has three children, one of them, by the way, as indicated in the declaration, has an apartment in Mexico. Those are nice rides...
According to the 2019 rating, Ivanov himself was among the top richest security officials in the country with a family income for 2018 of 136.7 million rubles.
Ivanov and Zakharova also have two minor daughters - Daria and Praskovya.
Let us note that the daughter of Svetlana Ivanova, Alexandra Maniovich, after receiving French docks for Israeli ones, began posting texts against the SVO from Paris. This act protected the Ivanovs’ property, as well as Svetlana and her children, from the authorities of the European Union. For the same purpose, on August 30, 2022, the Ivanovs filed for divorce, case M-0401/417.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … Britain and not become 'a vassal of the US' dependent on American military back-up in the wake of Russian aggression.
Macron warned that military, economic and other pressures could weaken EU.
With just three years left of his second and final term in office, the French president, 46, wants to show his critics that he retains the energy and fresh thinking that helped propel him into the presidency in 2017.
'There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks,' Macron said in his speech at the Sorbonne University in Paris, warning that military, economic and other pressures could weaken and fragment the 27-nation EU.
[Federalist] Like empires before us, we have lost our cultural confidence and moorings, increasing the risk of being overrun by newcomers.
No subject is as central to America’s future and no subject gets to the heart of the failure of our current regime more than immigration policy. As a result, few subjects are as riddled with taboos in their public discussion. What will happen when the ethnic composition of large parts of America is transformed in ways America’s European founders never could have foreseen? And in the interim, what will happen to whites as they continue to lose political power amid their shrinking proportion of the population, as anti-white rhetoric and actions accelerate?
Whether or not you believe that "demography is destiny," these fundamental demographic questions cannot simply be papered over with happy talk. The reality is that the white population, and thus the white voting share of the population, is rapidly diminishing. The fact that whites and "whiteness" are so frequently publicly demonized in a country with a current white voting supermajority does not inspire confidence in how society is likely to treat whites when they are a much-diminished minority.
There is a graphic T-shirt that’s popular in "Indian country" and on some left-wing college campuses. It comes in several versions, but the most popular has several Native Americans in traditional dress hoisting rifles while looking sternly at the camera. "Homeland Security: Fighting Illegal Immigration Since 1492," it reads. Another version with the same picture says, "We should have built a wall."
I chuckled the first time I saw one of these shirts. It’s a clever slogan on its own terms that makes the point that Native Americans, of course, were here when the first white settlers arrived. But upon further thought, I realized the statement it made was profound — it just cut in the opposite direction of the way it was intended.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump was greeted by hundreds chanting 'USA, USA' as he met union workers in New York on the morning of a monumental day in the courts.
The former president greeted teamsters on a construction site and signed MAGA hats as he prepared for another day of testimony in the Manhattan hush money trial.
Crowds of construction workers and supporters lined up through the night as they anxiously waited to catch a glimpse of their beloved former president.
Meanwhile, Trump's lawyers are heading to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on Thursday morning in attempts to persuade the nine justices that he is immune from prosecution.
'This whole thing it's election interference' Trump told the crowd regarding his multiple legal battles before taking a shot at President Joe Biden.
'We're leading by a lot. He is the worst president in the history of our country. He makes Jimmy Carter look great.
Supporters had started gathering shortly after 4AM, adorning themselves in signature red MAGA hats and carried flags and banners with them, one of which said 'Trump won, save America'.
Construction workers at the site followed suit, also wearing MAGA hats, while others wore hard hats plastered in Trump stickers.
As his motorcade pulled up outside the site, the crowd broke into chats of ‘USA! USA! USA!’ before breaking into applause as Trump made his appearance.
The former President then spent the next 30 minutes signing hats and helmets, taking selfies with supporters and workers who waited anxiously to meet him.
After the motorcade left the area, the large group quickly dispersed with the majority of workers who had gathered for hours returning to the site.
After his stop in Manhattan, he will head downtown to court, where he will sit and listen to the third day of former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker's testimony
Just a few hundred miles south of New York, the Supreme Court will consider on Thursday arguments that could have huge implications for Trump's federal criminal trials.
'Well, we have a big case today, the judge isn't allowing me to go,' he lamented.
He added of the Supreme Court case: 'A president has to have immunity. If you don't have immunity, you just have a ceremonial president.'
#1
The Biden regime and their corrupt judges can't make Trump shut up. Or shut his lawyers up. Can't get the Supremes to go along. Or the poll numbers for Trump to go along. Or get the Teamsters on their side. Or inflation to go down.
#2
At the end of the trial, poll NYC. What they are doing is very dumb. New York is a Dem state because the city votes near monolithically Dem. If they let him run too many spontaneous rallies during show trial breaks, the monolithic may shift beyond where they need it to be.

[Bee] GAZA — Members of the terrorist organization Hamas were left frustrated after hearing many leftists in the United States and throughout the world were skeptical that Hamas had brutally massacred over 1,300 Jewish civilians after Hamas had put serious effort into livestreaming the atrocities.
"What's a guy have to do around here to get credit for mass murder?" asked Hamas terrorist Durka Mohammed. "We provide video after video clearly identifying our victims as helpless women and children, we film the execution, we leave the bodies out for evidence...what more do you people want from us??"
Despite the live video evidence from Hamas itself, documents from Hamas showing elementary schools as intended targets, thousands of photographs, and eyewitness testimony from both sides of the massacre, many liberals in the United States remain unconvinced that Hamas committed mass murder. "Sounds like a Jewish trick to me," said proud Democrat Dean Stinson. "Sure, it looks like Hamas is shooting women live on the internet, but I've seen movies where it looks like people get shot, and of course the Jews run Hollywood - so yeah. Plus, I heard someone say Hamas decapitated a baby, and while I've seen pictures of several babies shot to death by Hamas, I have yet to see a decapitated baby. So it's all Jewish propaganda."
At publishing time, in the wake of the remaining skepticism, Hamas members were reportedly running out of ways to definitively show how their entire goal in life was to kill Jews. "I guess we'll just have to start going door to door in America to show them in person. Actually, to be honest, that was going to be our plan all along. Surprise!"

[IsraelNationalNews] The UN, UNWRA, WHO, numerous NGOs, senior British and American politicians and all the British mainstream news networks, including their flagship programmes, have all been consistently misleading people about the number of deaths in Gaza. But in the last month a series of articles in various publications have started to question this consensus. It is not clear why it has taken so long for this fightback, but what is clear is that the tide is turning.
One of the first major articles questioning the anti-Israel consensus was by Abrahm Wyner, an American mathematical statistician, and Professor of Statistics and Data Science at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Published in the American magazine Tablet on 7 March, his piece was called, "How the Gaza Ministry of Health Fakes Casualty Numbers".
As Professor Wyner points out, "The main source for the data [about civilian deaths in Gaza] has been the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, which now claims more than 30,000 dead, the majority of which it says are children and women." He begins by showing how influential the data from the Palestinian Health Authority has been. He quotes leading American politicians who have unquestioningly used these figures: "Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the number was ’over 25,000’..." Wyner writes. "President Biden himself had earlier cited this figure, asserting that ’too many, too many of the over 27,000 Palestinians killed in this conflict have been innocent civilians and children, including thousands of children.’ The White House also explained that the President ’was referring to publicly available data about the total number of casualties.’"
But, Wyner argues, "Here’s the problem with this data: The numbers are not real. That much is obvious to anyone who understands how naturally occurring numbers work. The casualties are not overwhelmingly women and children, and the majority may be Hamas fighters."
There are a number of things that are odd about the figures from the Palestinian Health Authority, he writes. First, the graph of total deaths has been increasing since October "with almost metronomical linearity." There have been no irregularities or inconsistencies in the figures (see the graph below, taken from Wyner’s article):
Or, as Wyner puts it, "The graph reveals an extremely regular increase in casualties over the period. ... This regularity is almost surely not real. One would expect quite a bit of variation day to day. In fact, the daily reported casualty count over this period averages 270, plus or minus about 15%. This is strikingly little variation. There should be days with twice the average or more and others with half or less."
Secondly, Wyner writes, "we should see variation in the number of child casualties that tracks the variation in the number of women. This is because the daily variation in death counts is caused by the variation in the number of strikes on residential buildings and tunnels which should result in considerable variability in the totals but less variation in the percentage of deaths across groups. This is a basic statistical fact about chance variability." "Consequently," he continues, "on the days with many women casualties there should be large numbers of children casualties, and on the days when just a few women are reported to have been killed, just a few children should be reported." In other words, "The daily number of children reported to have been killed is totally unrelated [my emphasis] to the number of women reported."
Thirdly, "The daily number of women casualties should be highly correlated with the number of non-women and non-children (i.e., men) reported. Again, this is expected because of the nature of battle. The ebbs and flows of the bombings and attacks by Israel should cause the daily count to move together. But that is not what the data show. Not only is there not a positive correlation, there is a strong negative correlation, which makes no sense at all and establishes the third piece of evidence that the numbers are not real."
What do these anomalies suggest, asks Wyner? They are "highly suggestive that a process unconnected or loosely connected to reality was used to report the numbers. Most likely, the Hamas ministry settled on a daily total arbitrarily. We know this because the daily totals increase too consistently to be real. Then they assigned about 70% of the total to be women and children, splitting that amount randomly from day to day. Then they in-filled the number of men as set by the predetermined total. This explains all the data observed."

Reminds me of the Lancet during the Iraq War in 2003 saying there were 600,000 casualties.
[Facebook] The SR-71 was NOT CANCELED because of the Russian/ Soviet SA-5 missile. My father and his fellow RSOs and Pilots were not worried about being shot out of the air. You have to remember that the SR-71 had more than just cameras. SR-71 had big ears. The Electronic Warfare (EW) suite listened to the radar targeting frequencies for the missiles from the missiles. There were EW antennas throughout the SR 71. Even at three times the speed of sound, The antennas would pick up the radar pulse.
The SR 71 had a very clever deception jammer. The system received a tracking radar pulse, fiddled with it, and returned it. The returning pulse was just a little stronger. The enemy would be tracking the SR 71 and would find the location, but it was FALSE. The deception jammer had drawn the trackers away from the real SR 71. The enemy thought they were tracking, and in some instances, they felt they had a straightforward kill.
But the real SR 71 was far, far away. This interests me because my father, Colonel Richard “Butch” Sheffield, and Bob Spencer collected the SA 5 radar frequency in 1971. The SR-71 was soon after this risky flight (within a few feet of Russia) able to jam the SA 5.
The other reason for the early cancellation of the SR 71 was the Generals were jealous because they ( Two of them) were rejected from the SR 71 program before they were made General. They were so vindictive that they did not promote Lieutenant Colonels to full Colonels who deserved it. They demanded that the special orange flight suit be taken away from the SR 71 Crewmembers.. it was unprofessional and wrong what the two Generals did at the Pentagon. This is the information given to me by the pilots and RSOs who flew the SR 71.
Between the jamming system, the speed, and the altitude, I believe there was no chance of a shootdown. Of course, there could’ve been one million lucky shots, but that never occurred.

...I follow Linda on both FB and TwiX - I believe her.
And she's not far off on the other reasons for the cancellation, but I'd add one more: it belonged to the old Strategic Air Command. When the USAF was reorganized in the early 90s, the victorious Fighter Mafia pulled a 'Night Of The Sicilian Vespers' on anything even remotely connected with SAC. The SR was expensive and resource-demanding but it wore a SAC shield to boot...and that was the last nail in the coffin.

No sale. SR-71 was no threat to the fighter aircraft domain. It was a hugely successful ISR platform that was very expensive to operate and got overshadowed by a combination of improving satellite assets and good enough while cheaper U-2 longevity.
But soap operas and conspiracies give some people a much better buzz...

The "discussion," such as it is, exists in a contextual vacuum. By the time SR-71 was in what would be considered routine use, we knew from many other sources that the USSR was falling way behind in the areas we needed imaging intel to corroborate.

Aircraft development will never be fast enough now to be a player. Yes, satellites take a long time to develop and build but they don't have the test flight stage of development.
The age of manned military aircraft is almost over. Maybe we should euthanize the people who can't deal with that reality to save everyone unnecessary pain.
