Chinese military casualties in the 21st century: Probably less than 200 Soldiers, mostly in the Himalayan mountains fighting skirmishes with India over a stupid high altitude border they share.

US military casualties and loss of jets and helicopters in the 21st century? Too numerous to delineate.

Who gave what up?
Developing nations, like those in Africa went from trading with the US to trading with China over the past 25 years?
Why?
Because the US gave them military bases and bombing of muslims.
China gave them roads, ports, mines, schools, dams, wells, sewer treatment etc.
China invested, America did not
The one inherent benefit America had that China could not compete with was aspirational-a reputation for freedom and democracy.
These are facts

0.000001% missing: China also provides free medical and surgical care to poor people in Africa. The Trumpf junta dismantled USAID.

State government employees are taking to the courts after being wrongfully fired over social media posts criticizing discussing conservative activist good-for-nothing reactionary Charlie Kirk upon his assassination timely departure from the planet.

Which side will Dummkopf Trumpf take? Laura Loomer, Mitch McConnell, and Ted Cruz, or Nick Fuentes, Marjorie-Taylor Greene (MTG), and Kanye West?

Uncoincidentally, 1/3 of the Whitehouse also disapproved of the plan.

Which future administration, Democratic or Republican, will permanently dismantle ICE and rescind the AUMF, the two Executive Branch weapons Dummkopf Trumpf has been over-abusing like a gym rat on steroids?

"Too much month and not enough check" plagued the US poor and working class before the Republican government shutdown and funding lapse. To wit, business is booming for America's car repossession industry. In fact, there were 769,925 car repossessions for the third quarter of 2025 versus 706,383 for this year's second quarter. Texas has the most car repossessions by state, with 319,754, year-to-date. Florida has the second-most auto repossessions with 222,523. California, the nation's most populous state, ranks third in total repossession volume year-to-date.

At the same time, the success of the corporate-government war on labor unions has driven growth of non-union employment. The union membership rate of 20.1% in 1983 fall to 9.9% in 2024. This widespread trend has led to a term to describe employed Americans who can't make ends meet: the working poor.

Increased inflation arrives as the Republican government shutdown continues, halting funding for food assistance programs. 42 million Americans, one in eight of the nation's population, receive food assistance; 5.5m people in California alone.

Well, at least the Trumpf junta is releasing archived material on Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, and UFOs.

To US Senator Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) chagrin, Democrat Zohran Mamdani still holds a lead over disgraced ex-NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo who, for a mere 30 pieces of silver, betrayed the party of his father NYS Governor Mario Cuomo by running as an independent after losing the Democratic Party primary. The odious Andrew Cuomo was forced from office for sexual harassment and lying about casualties during the COVID epidemic. He was recently criticized for smearing the amiable Zohran Mamdani as "pro-crime." Islamophobic Andrew Cuomo also said on a radio show that Zohran would laugh if terrorists attacked our city. As "one-trick ponies," this is all Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa have to offer New Yorkers: "I'm not the Muslim in the race."

So true, huh?

An unfinished Kolchak episode was to have our intrepid reporter investigating government officials replaced by aliens. Contract problems scrubbed that episode as well as that great TV series.

Back to the rub: The sinister, smirking Mike Johnson is a demon in human form.

American voters from Veterans for Peace, the Society of Friends (Quakers), Gold Star Families for Peace, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), World Beyond War, CodePink, the War Resister's League, the Central Mennonite Committee, and a host of others, will be using these two websites before casting their ballots on future election days. One such day is coming up next week:

@#4 ... Her act was worse than that of hundreds of J6ers. ...

The foreign trolls are using absolutely lousy, nonsensical talking points, commenting like moronic emptyheads, and wasting people's time.

Nefarious House Speaker Mike Johnson signed a bill cutting a projected $186 billion from SNAP.

Regardless of what democrats do, Republicans only goal is to hurt Americans.

Hi Doc Sarvis: Always a pleasure to serve!

One AI overview on the American food market which is dominated by a small number of US corporations:

Four corporations control about 85% of the national beef packing market, 85% of soybean processing, and 63% of pork packing: Cargill, Archer-Daniels Midland, Bunge, and Louis Dreyfus. Three companies control the entire $90 billion American chicken industry: Tyson, Pilgrim's Pride, and Perdue.
Four retail giants control 65% of the grocery retail market: Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and Ahold Delhaize.
Five to ten major food manufacturers control an average of 64% of all grocery sales, with the top four firms often controlling 40% or more of market share for nearly 80% of grocery items: Kraft Heinz, General Mills, Conagra, Unilever, and Delmonte.

In summary, the American food market is highly concentrated, with a handful of corporations controlling the majority of production, processing, and retail.

US GDP per capita is $85,809.90, yet 38 million Americans live at or below the poverty line, which represents roughly 11.6% of the population. Meanwhile, the average salary for CEOs of the major US food corporations is exceptionally high.

The average total compensation for CEOs at the 350 largest publicly traded US companies, including food and beverage giants, was about $22.98 million in 2024, up 6% from the previous year. For example, Coca-Cola's CEO received $54.5 million in total compensation for 2022, while Wendy's CEO was paid $17.3 million in 2023. McDonald's CEO earned around $18.2 million in 2025, and Starbucks' CEO made $96 million for just four months of work.

In the late 1960s a computer analyzed a theoretical bout between the undefeated heavyweight champions Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. When the machine predicted Marciano would win, Muhammad Ali said to the effect: "A white man's computer has a white man winning. No surprise."

The two champions were filmed together for a hypothetical fight and they were on good terms.

"Screw the hungry, the poor, and the homeless."

*** Trumpf Junta Idiocy Continues to Undermine US National Security ***

USSECDEF Pete "Hic!" Kegsbreath replaced highly decorated and experienced USN RADM Kurt Rothenhaus who was in charge of naval research with an inexperienced 33-year-old DOGE-bag. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is charged with critical technical research and doling out billions in funding for the USN. A three-star general serving on the JCS was also purged.

This latest injustice probably has something to do with awarding naval contracts to Trumpf insiders to construct the "Golden Fleet."
