Military Times editor-in-chief JD Simkins appeared on ABC News discussing U.S. munitions worries in the ongoing Iran war. Multiple reports say key long-range missiles and interceptors are heavily drawn down after months of fighting. Trump denies any shortage and says leakers of those reports face prison.

Trump denies US munitions shortage and said he’d seek to jail ‘leakers’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8mjd19xm7o
Military Times and Reuters reported the near-exhaustion of Army long-range missiles on August 4.
Trump’s Truth Social denial and jail threat came August 6 after WaPo and others covered the shortfalls.
Pentagon memo this week gives defense companies 21 days to accelerate critical production.
CSIS and other analyses put Patriot and THAAD stocks sharply lower than pre-war.
Supplemental funding requests already seek tens of billions to restock.

How one car destroyed America’s car industry
Interesting to see it all laid out in simple form.
Senator Muskie’s 1970 clean air act required new vehicles to have serious NOX (smog) control.
Detroit’s answer was a combination of “It’s impossible”, to the application of catalytic converters.
Honda had to be taught what NOX was. That is where they started the race. NOX? WTF is NOX?
Honda redesigned the engine (in Waco Texas) to avoid NOX production. The Honda Civic CVCC engine broke combustion into 2 stages, a rich ignition stage and a lean burn completion stage. What ultimately became stratified combustion.
Then the fuel crisis followed, which wildly favored the high mileage Honda vehicles.
Fascinating history of different management styles. Honda being led by an Engineer who loved racing, and American Big 3 Auto, managed by business suits and attys.
GM’s chairman Richard Gerstenberg, stated publicly that the CVCC engine was fine for toy motorcycles, but had no applicability for American cars.
Honda’s president (Soichiro Honda), got miffed. He bought a Chevy Impala, installed a CVCC engine, maintained the same HP, and demonstrated the same NOX control via testing conducted in the EPA test facility where he then sent the modified impala. FACE!

'Busted': Female Bicyclists 'Bulk Up'by Tyler Durden
Authored by Mike McDaniel via AmericanThinker.com,
I’ve been a bicyclist all my life, but because I came to serious road racing late in life, I never had the opportunity to be competitive. Oh, I had a few good bikes and wore the required attire, but I was never going to make the medal stand.
I did ride with enough serious riders to understand their compulsions. Among them was doing whatever was necessary to shave every gram of weight possible off their trusty steeds and to make them, and themselves, more aerodynamic. Shaving the legs was mandatory, but I never participated in that ritual. The seconds that might save weren’t going to make any difference for me, nor would drilling holes in this or that component.
If you know the jargon, those were the days when shifters were mounted on downtubes, and carbon fiber was in its infancy. It consisted of round frame tubes glued into metal fittings. Ten-gear cassettes and single chainrings were the hot setup. That dates me, doesn’t it?
Much has changed since those years. Frames can now be entirely made of carbon fiber and tuned for specific kinds of races.
Everything is lighter and stronger, and computer technology has made it possible to fine-tune bike and rider to an amazing degree—particularly female riders’ breasts. Breasts?! Breasts:
Something strange is happening at the Tour de France Femmes this year.
Several women’s WorldTeams have come forward claiming that some riders are padding their bras during time trials to gain an aerodynamic edge.
The Dutch website Wielerflits broke the story after hearing from multiple teams. The complaint is that certain cyclists are using extra padding to make their chests appear larger. In the low, aggressive position of a time trial, a rounder chest can act like a “fairing,” smoothing the air and reducing drag.
Oh, come on. This has to be The Babylon Bee, right? Nope. It, and the breasts, are the real thing:

How the Epstein Network Is Privatizing the Government & Building Out the Surveillance State (w/Whitney Webb)
Under the radar, the billionaire class is building the infrastructure and models necessary to create a dystopian future in which cities become billionaire fiefdoms – completely privatized, governed by dictatorial CEOs and financed by subservient taxpayers. The buildout of data centers is one essential part of the effort to construct a totalitarian capitalist society, which is already advancing.
In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, Hedges interviews investigative journalist Whitney Webb, the author of “One Nation Under Blackmail,” who unravels the complex relationships between elected leaders, the National Security State, the state of Israel and Big Tech. Webb discusses the methods being used in the Silicon Heartland, the area around Columbus, Ohio, where Les Wexner, who has ties to organized crime and was Jeffrey Epstein’s most notable benefactor, and other powerful billionaires such as Peter Thiel of Palantir, have made significant headway in creating a privately-run city — New Albany. She describes their use of innocent-sounding front groups, such as Jobs Ohio, private development corporations and political bribery to enrich themselves and create what they are marketing as Smart Cities.

Jeffrey Epstein Truth Commission Named a Democrat Governor in New Mexico Sex Trafficking Report
Jeffrey Epstein Truth Commission Named a Democrat Governor in New Mexico Sex Trafficking Report
The FBI received a tip that two girls were buried at Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch – and sat on it for six years.
This week, New Mexico lawmakers released the first official government account of what happened at that ranch.
What they found in those files – and who they named – is why the DOJ just got sued.
