@JimBond6@Babygravy9@DrewPavlou The amount of time energy and strict caloric intake to maintain peak conditioning becomes unsustainable. Segal made it to 55 before he started getting thick. Age 60 it started to show. He’s 74 now and this is what happens to some of us as we age.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON’T USE CHATGPT FOR JOB SEARCHES.
I got 5 interview calls in 7 days, all with ChatGPT as my recruiter.

This woman is fully of life and is expressing her natural sexuality. Repressing women, making them hide their beauty is a form of masculine insecurity. What losers these men are. I may have to head over to Iran once things get sorted and help women like this ease into their new found freedom. It is the least I can do😉
@Nglmia_x Anytime an adult tries to be alone with a child not theirs is a red flag. Adults that want to abuse children have to create circumstances where they can be alone with them. Nope. The odds are very low that the nurse had bad intent but in this day and age why risk it?
@BuzzPatterson@WNBA An airball is nothing compared to a 300 pounder face planting tripping over her own feet while tossing the ball in the general direction of the backboard and missing instead of passing to a wide open Caitlin Clarke. A hard pass for me.
This is classic political spin: “integration” of technology and supply chains gets twisted into “merging the militaries” or “Israel takes over.” The U.S. already does similar (but usually smaller) tech-cooperation deals with the UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea, etc. The U.S. Secretary of Defense remains fully in charge, and Congress gets oversight reports.
Bottom line The poster on X is almost certainly reacting to Section 224’s language about “integration,” “data fusion,” “co-production,” and an “executive agent,” then blowing it up into conspiracy territory. The actual bill text shows enhanced ally-level R&D and industrial partnership—not a takeover, merger, or loss of U.S. sovereignty. It’s still just a committee mark; the bill could change further in the House, Senate, or conference.If you have a link to the exact X post or screenshot, I can check if they’re citing a specific line I missed, but based on the full public text, there’s nothing supporting the “Israel gets final say / merges our military” claim. Let me know if you want the full PDF link or details on any other section!No, the bill does not merge the U.S. military with Israel’s military, nor does it give Israel any “final say,” veto power, command authority, or control over U.S. forces or decisions. That claim (which appears to be circulating on X and in some activist/media commentary) is a hyperbolic misreading or exaggeration of one specific provision—Section 224 (“United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative”) in the House Armed Services Committee’s Chairman’s Mark of H.R. https://t.co/Fghz7qmHDS.govI pulled the exact text of the bill (the official 505-page Chairman’s Mark PDF released May 22, 2026, which is the current working version after the June 4 markup). Here’s what it actually says and does:Exact Language of Section 224 (verbatim key parts)SEC. 224. UNITED STATES–ISRAEL DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION INITIATIVE.(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—The Secretary of Defense shall designate an executive agent [a U.S. Department of Defense official] responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation, by—
(1) identifying jointly developed or Israeli-origin technologies with operational utility for potential integration into United States systems and programs of record;
(2) ensuring collaborative research initiatives … in a manner that protects sensitive technology and information and the national security interests of the United States and Israel;
(3) facilitating the transition of technologies from research and development into procurement and acquisition pathways;
(4) establishing frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements, and United States-based co-production or manufacturing partnerships with Israeli industry;
…
(6) promoting joint training exercises and information-sharing mechanisms…(b) COOPERATIVE EFFORTS.—… may be carried out through the following domains: [lists things like counter-unmanned systems, subterranean threats, missile defense, AI/quantum/autonomous systems, cyber, biotech, network integration and data fusion, defense industrial base co-production, etc.]The rest of the section requires the Pentagon to:Coordinate with other U.S. agencies (State, Commerce, etc.).
Give Congress an interim briefing in 180 days + annual reports through 2030.
Post unclassified public updates emphasizing how this contributes to “United States technological and military supremacy.”
That’s it. The entire section is about U.S.-led tech and industrial cooperation on next-generation weapons systems. It builds on decades of existing joint programs (e.g., Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow missile defense, counter-tunnel work).armedservices.house.govOther Israel-related provisions in the bill (none controversial in this way)Sec. 1221: Just extends the existing U.S. war reserve stockpile authority for Israel (pre-positioned U.S. equipment in Israel for potential joint emergencies) to 2029. Standard ally logistics stuff.
Sec. 1222 & 1223: Extend and slightly expand prior R&D cooperation on subterranean threats and counter-unmanned systems—again, research and testing only, no command https://t.co/N6u9RE8pEq.govNowhere in the 505-page mark does the bill:Merge command structures (no Israeli generals over U.S. troops, no joint operational command).
Give Israel veto power over U.S. decisions, procurement, or strategy.
Subordinate U.S. forces to Israel.
Create any “final say” mechanism.
Where the “merger / Israel controls us” rant comes fromSome outlets and X posters (e.g., Responsible Statecraft, Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, activist accounts) use loaded language like:“integrate U.S. and Israeli militaries”
“fuse the two countries’ armed forces”
“military-industrial integration”
“data fusion” / “embed Israeli technology into U.S. systems”
“co-production” creating U.S. jobs that supposedly give Israel “leverage”
They argue it makes ties harder to unwind and could share sensitive U.S. tech. A few pushed (and lost) an amendment by Rep. Ro Khanna to strike Section 224. But even the strongest critics do not claim literal military merger or Israeli veto power—they’re talking about deeper industrial/tech entanglement, not https://t.co/ulq5gJlQ4p
Facts as Reported
It was raining when Karmelo Anthony sought shelter inside a tent enclosure. He was asked to leave. In response, he produced a knife and fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf.
My Opinion
Anthony was most likely humiliated by the request to leave. Metcalf could have extended a simple courtesy—allowing him to remain until the rain passed—rather than insisting he depart.
That said, both individuals were still adolescents, not yet fully matured into young men. They remained impulsive and emotionally volatile, and the incident occurred in the charged atmosphere of a competitive athletic meet, where adrenaline was running high.
Once Metcalf chose to ask Anthony to leave instead of inviting him to stay, Anthony faced two clear choices: depart or refuse. He elected to remain, drew a knife, and killed Metcalf.
Embarrassment or an unwelcome request to leave a space is never justification for lethal violence—regardless of how many TikTok or YouTube videos promoting “Black power” rhetoric one may have watched that glorify refusing disrespect and responding with aggression.
In my view, this was murder, not self-defense. Anthony himself admitted to the killing. Ultimately, however, the final determination is not mine to make.
