This is the usual Russian propaganda. Russian ballistic missiles can’t hit moving targets, Patriot batteries don’t have that many vehicles and they are dispersed when the battery deploys.

The minesweeper moored at the pier might be a constructive total loss due its fiberglass hull. I believe a similar fiberglass-hulled minesweeper in Britain was totalled from a collision because significant hull damage cannot be safely repaired.

LaPierre was one of the worst threats to 2nd Amendment rights in the past 20 years. He turned the NRA into a useless racketeer-influenced corrupt organization with himself as the racketeer.
I hope the NRA becomes effective again but doubt that will happen.

My understanding is that Santos did more than divert campaign contributions to his personal spending. He ripped off more than a few donor credit cards for far more money than the amount of the contribution, to the tune of at least several hundred thousand dollars. Some of the victims spent many thousands of dollars trying to get their money back.
This was a direct threat to all of Congress, who risked loss of credit card contributions from donors' fear that they too might be ripped off like Santos did. They had to expel Santos to protect themselves.
Santos was too greedy and stupid to live. I expect federal prosecutors will nail him for credit card fraud.

Shortening the war is not winning it. If the objective is to destroy Hamas, it is necessary to kill almost all of them. Otherwise the problem is simply moved around.

A fun factoid here is that Kamala Harris beat out Gavin Newsom in the pre-primary election maneuvering for her Senate seat. Newsom had to take Governor of California as a consolation prize.
