September 13, 1963: US performs underground nuclear test at Nevada Test Site.
One hundred above-ground nuclear tests were conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) between January 27, 1951, and July 17, 1962. On August 5, 1963, the Soviet Union and the United States signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT), which prohibited nuclear tests in the atmosphere, under water, and in space. From that time, until the end of testing in 1992, nuclear tests at the NTS were conducted underground.
After the nuclear detonation in a shaft, a formation called a “subsidence crater” usually occurred. Such craters are not caused directly by the nuclear blast itself, but from the earth’s surface sinking due to the void created by the underground explosion’s liquefying of surrounding rock. Some subsidence craters formed shortly after the detonation, others took much longer to develop. Visitors can view subsidence craters in the Yucca Flat areas of the NTS during public tours. Some tours include driving into the large crater created by the 249-kiloton Bilby test, detonated September 13, 1963.
Bilby’s crater is 1800 feet wide, and 80 feet deep. The device which created Bilby was set off 2400 feet underground.

St. Augustine is one of my favorite saints, a gift to Christians for all the ages, the body of his teachings. Without the steadfast faith and unrelenting prayer of his mother, he would never have converted and his great gifts would have been wasted.
St. Monica is too little known and appreciated. She gives a shining example to mothers everywhere, indeed to all Christians who should never give up.

When I was a kid we lived in OKC so we got all the Tinker AFB traffic. We ran outside for every plane flying over, and our parents taught us to ID all the planes. I still try, altho Czar is much better at naming them. In NO we were near the Belle Chasse Naval Air Station so we got plenty of planes, fortunately not right over the house except during air shows.

Took until 1979ish for us to meet in Ogden, Utah – sometimes the pheromone trail gets a bit too thin – but since then we’ve been together and on the UN’s watch list for toxic substances.

Well, as a starter, there were an estimated 25,000 Allied (many US personnel) POWs in the eastern staklags overrun by the Russians whom FDR and Churchill let the Russians keep as part of the deal on ending WWII and just getting stuff rolling again. Russia had lost so many men in the war, military and civilian, that bodies were needed to reconstruct Russia. The Reds kept the German POWs and some of them who managed to come back talked about how they were used to rebuild Russian infrastructure and how they saw Allied POWs being used too.
It was Kissinger’s idea to dump the Vietnam POWs to get the peace talks rolling and as the US backed out of the deal to refund much of the North’s infrastructure it bombed there was a second cause for the POWs to disappear. Kissinger/Nixon promises billions for rebuilding, backs out on the deal and Hanoi says screw it, we keep ’em.

March 1991, 37th Engineer Battalion blowing up Iraqi ‘ammo’ bunkers at Khamisiyah. Estimated 5000+ US troops downwind were exposed to fallout from what were largely Russian chemical weapons stored there.
Troops had copies of Russian manuals on the weapon’s maintenance, pictures of the racked and stored weapons and reported them. Upper echelon confiscated manuals and pictures and allegedly warned participants who directly saw the weapons the issue was classified and they’d better not talk about them ever. Bunkers were blown but NO warning was given downwind as issue was classified.
We had ex-BLOC troops deployed there and when they came (Czechs, Poles who really maintained their equipment) they brought their own ex-BLOC equipment. US chemical alarm systems mounted on our vehicles did not sound but the ex-BLOC troops’ vehicle alarms went off like a flock of canaries. BLOC folks suited up, US troops were told that the BLOC alarms were malfunctioning and not to bother.
Thing is that US alarms were set for what were basically US concepts of how BLOC chem weapons were formulated while BLOC alarms were formulated for US-chem weapons and how BLOC chem weapons REALLY WERE formulated. BLOC was worried that their weapons might come back on them so the set their alarms just in case.

I don’t know if any here are familiar with Derrick Wilburn of Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives. You might remember an incident recently in DC where a black intern was refused Uber ride for wearing a MAGA hat. The young man was part of senate/congress/wh intern program for black youths. Anyways, he needs help. ….being sued for one of his articles. He is not asking for much.. Hinting here for this to be posted in comments next door..
https://www.gofundme.com/derricks-legal-defense
“Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives
Asking for help isn’t easy. At least not for me. Personally, I’d rather dig ditches in 120 degree heat or subzero freezing temperatures than stand on a corner holding a sign. But, as I find myself in the position of needing some a friend told me “You know there are people who’d WANT TO help, who’d leap at the chance but by not saying anything you’re robbing them of the opportunity. They’re called ‘supporters’ for a reason.” So here goes. This is a personal letter from me to you, know that for me this isn’t easy:
My name is Derrick, my wife & I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado together with our 3 children. I founded the RMBC (originally ‘Rocky Mountain Black Tea Party’) 8 years ago in my backyard out of nothing more than a desire to make a difference for the country I love. That desire along with a small crew of dedicated people led to this page, the filing & granting of 501c3 status, other websites & blogs, street outreaches, workshops & speaking engagements, training videos, an internship program and more.
But this isn’t about the RMBC it’s about me personally. You may or may not know this, most do not as I haven’t talked about it, but I am being sued.
I also do punditry work. The platform of the RMBC combined with some God-given gifts opened the door for me to research & write nationally-published columns. I’ve written for American Thinker, Federalist Papers, Strident Conservative, Allen West among others. It’s rewarding but not without risks. One of those risks is that some offended party might lawyer up. That happened earlier this year when myself + several others were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought in March in the state of Virginia.
I’m not going to give credence to this asinine accusation by posting about it here but the curious can go to any search engine, search keywords “Derrick Wilburn Alex Jones Allen West lawsuit” or some combination thereof and find all the information you’d care to read.
At issue is a column I wrote & was broadly published. I broke no laws nor standard protocols of journalism. The plaintiff who brought the suit is well-known & claiming ‘defamation of character.’ The lawsuit itself is entirely frivolous & not jurisdictional to boot. We ultimately will prevail – but you still have to defend yourself. That’s not cheap.
My wife & I are not wealthy (financially, that is. LOADED in other respects), we of course had to hire someone to represent us & now find ourselves in the position of writing checks to an attorney we’ve never met – other than a voice on the phone. He’s in the state of Virginia & doing great work on our behalf, which entails the typical lawyer stuff – paralegals logging research hours, showing up in court, filing motions to dismiss, etc. All of which racks up billable hours. That’s how it works.
Life on the frontlines can get ugly, ugly can take a number of forms – nasty emails is one of them, “expensive” is another. If you are blessed, willing & able to chip in to help with this burden we’d be deeply appreciative. I’ve set up a Go Fund Me which is linked below. If you are led to contribute know that this is to help me personally, NOT the RMBC. There is no tax-deductibility available & you’ll have nothing to show for your act of kindness other than whatever peace of heart & mind the Lord bestows upon you.
Thank you, patriots.

FBI WON’T investigate Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh following Democrats’ mysterious last-minute #MeToo accusation that dates back to high school – and decides to share it with the White House instead
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6165337/Brett-Kavanaugh-hit-11th-hour-mystery-letter-MeToo-attorney-involved.html
The Washington Post reported Thursday evening that the FBI handed the senator’s materials over to the White House instead of opening a probe, and considered it an update to his background check file.
‘Upon receipt of the information on the night of September 12, we included it as part of Judge Kavanaugh’s background file, as per the standard process,’ an FBI official told the Post.
The New York Times reported Thursday that Feinstein received a letter about the unspecified allegations against Kavanaugh ‘this summer’ – meaning she may have held onto it for dramatic effect at an inopportune moment for Republicans.
Debra Katz, a Washington, D.C. lawyer best known for representing women who make ‘#MeToo’-style accusations against powerful men, is reportedly representing the unnamed woman. Katz was seen leaving Capitol Hill on Wednesday night.
Feinstein is the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, which is considering Kavanaugh’s nomination. Republicans are pushing to confirm him to the Supreme Court by Oct. 1, when its next term begins.
A tight-lipped Feinstein had released a cryptic statement saying that the woman who provided the information about Kavanaugh ‘strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision.’
Buzzfeed claimed Thursday that it believes it knows who Kavanaugh’s potential accuser is, and has for at least a week, but hasn’t been able to reach her to confirm it.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
