All measles vaccines given in the U.S. after 1976 were effective, and most people who received at least one dose are considered immune. See website for list of people who should not get the vaccine. 4/4 mcpress.mayoclinic.org/living-well/...

That’s because the measles vaccines used in the U.S. between 1963 (when the first one was licensed) and 1976 had differing levels of effectiveness. If you were vaccinated after 1976, you shouldn’t need a booster unless you are in a high-risk group (see website in last post ⬇️). 3/4

(There's a test to see if you're immune. I got it first time I was pregnant.) If you were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1976, you may or may not have immunity. 2/4

Do you need the MMR vaccine? This, from the Mayo Clinic: If you were born before 1957, you’re considered immune because you likely had the measles as a child (and survived), before a vaccine was available. 1/4

In case some men need a reminder. (It's almost always men, isn't it?)

Text: How to avoid a sexual assault! A quick and easy guide*
1. Don't put drugs in people's drinks.
2. Use the buddy system! If you can't stop yourself from sexually assaulting someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times to stop you.
3. When you come across someone who is drunk or asleep, the best thing to do is not rape them.
4. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.
5. If you are in a lift and someone steps in, remember not to sexually assault them.
6. Carry a whistle. If you think you might rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.

The camera cut to Katie Britt right after Eric Schmitt’s attack on Jack Smith turned out to be bogus. Schmitt claimed Jack Smith attended an Atlanta Hawks game in Atlanta. However, the texts were actually about the Iowa Hawkeyes playing Maryland in Maryland.

Nizhny Novgorod has a refinery. It also has no gasoline, which is what sanctions evasion and war economics look like when the state starts cannibalizing its own regions to keep Moscow functional. The fuel is not gone. It is being redirected. Same volume, different geography.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

A Russian military Tu-154 aircraft crashed last evening in Russia’s Amur Oblast. Russian media outlets and Telegram channels, including Baza and Mash, reported the incident.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]

Every empire that bet on Washington learned the same lesson: the guarantee expires the moment it gets inconvenient. Budapest 1994, Kabul 2021, now Kyiv. Trust is a one-time asset. Spend it once and the second buyer disappears.

It is fighting a military that adapts while the Russian command structure struggles to process failure.

The same corps has been running UGVs ahead of infantry, using them for logistics, evacuation, and even dropping small ground robots from heavy drones. When manpower is scarce, you automate the suicidal part of the assault. Moscow keeps pretending it is fighting a NATO proxy.

Russians assumed their own reinforcement column was approaching and held fire. That assumption cost them a fortified point. A force that has learned to trade scrap metal for Russian lives and positions ends up here.

The BTR-60 kamikaze UGV footage from Operation Vivaldi is a perfect example of how Ukraine is rewriting assault doctrine in real time. The 3rd Army Corps packed an old Soviet hull with explosives and drove it at Russian positions.

The 57th Brigade recon unit clearing a treeline of Russian infantry. Watch the pace: methodical, close, no panic. Holding a position actually means enduring real combat, unlike the staged flag videos Moscow keeps pumping out to cover its losses. The contrast writes itself. One side films real work.

Sarny, Rivne oblast, nowhere near a front line. Six regions dark so katsaps can cosplay as a superpower. Every substation they wreck is another argument for letting Ukraine hit the refineries funding these drones.

This is institutional reform under wartime pressure. The pushback is the best evidence it is overdue.

He knows the difference between a staff officer who understands war on paper and one who has managed logistics under fire, adjusted defense under drone surveillance, and made decisions when the map was already obsolete. The General Staff should be a service for the troops. Not a shelter from them.

Ukraine cannot afford monuments in uniform. Drapatyi has commanded at Kharkiv, Luhansk, Kherson, and Pokrovsk.

Predictably, some are already working channels to dodge the transfer or get their case resolved through the Chief of the General Staff. The true story. A strategic headquarters that loses contact with what is actually happening in the brigades becomes a bureaucratic monument.

Officers without that experience get rotated into combat units. Officers with current battlefield command experience move into the General Staff. And those already eligible for pension are being told to decide their future, wartime conditions notwithstanding.

By October 2 they must submit lists of officers and generals who have had no practical combat command experience since 2022 at battalion, brigade, corps, or operational grouping level, a filter for removing the inexperienced. The plan is straightforward.
