A photographer in the Chatsworth Nature Preserve in Los Angeles captured a real-life image of something you would never see in cartoons: a coyote who successfully nabbed a road runner, instead of falling from a cliff, getting hit by a train or having an anvil land on him.

The MSM completely missed the gravity of last night's Ukrainian missile strike on the Progress Rocket Center in Samara, Russia. This isn't just another industrial fire. This is the definitive end of independent Russian space dominance and a massive blow to their national pride. 1/5
