Feb 22, 1909: The sixteen battleships of the Great White Fleet, led by USS Connecticut (BB-18) return to the United States at Hampton Roads, Virginia after a voyage around the world. The 14-month long voyage was a grand pageant of American sea power. The squadrons were manned by 14,000 sailors. They covered some 45,000 miles and made twenty port calls on six continents.



The composition of the Fleet is best remembered for the 16 battleships with white hulls that circumnavigated the globe. They were divided into two squadrons of two divisions in each squadron and led by 4 admirals. They were all named after states except one, USS Kearsarge. The represented the bulk of the Atlantic Fleet.


Everything there is to know about the Great White Fleet.


February 22, 1947: The Tom and Jerry cartoon Cat Fishin', is released to theaters. It is the 27th Tom and Jerry short directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, produced by Fred Quimby and animated by Kenneth Muse, Ed Barge, Michael Lah with uncredited animation by Pete Burness and Ray Patterson. Oddly, no catfishes appear in the cartoon.




Fun Fact: The USAF's studies on abnormal psychology within its nuclear weapons personnel was inspired, in part, by an incident in 1960 in which an enlisted man carved his initials into Gen. Curtis LeMay's plane at SAC HQ.

This Severin Films reissue of José Ulloa's post-apocalyptic bunker movie CREATION OF THE DAMNED (1974) (aka El refugio del miedo; aka REFUGE OF FEAR aka Survivors of the Last Race) looks amazing.


Trailer: 




British nutty professor Mark Galeotti, historian, lecturer and writer on transnational crime and Russian security affairs and director of the consultancy Mayak Intelligence expresses hope that in a post-Putin Russia, power will return to "pragmatic thieves," who will loot the country "on an industrial scale" and spend the proceeds in the West.



Can The West ever be Reconciled with Russia?

Professor Galeotti is also a member of the international advisory board of the Mob Museum in Las Vegas.

If post-Putin leaders follow Putin's plan they are going to pivot to the east, not west.
The kleptocratic system was essentially baked in during the chaotic privatizations of the 1990s — Putin inherited a structure already designed to funnel wealth abroad. If anything, his consolidation of power actually redirected some of it toward the state rather than purely private hands, which is arguably why so many oligarchs ended up exiled, imprisoned, or dead.


Very forthcoming of the wanker to share.


Grok, your trusted source! LOL.

According to the DOJ that email is real:


Shapiro discussed this on his show episode aired February 2, 2026. Personally, I can't stand that guy.
