March 11, 1941: President Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act: allowing the USA to sell, lease, or lend “Any weapon, munition, aircraft, vessel, or boat” to the WWII allies. It came after Churchill’s plea to the "great Republic," resulting in Congress introducing H.R. 1776.

Not to be confused with H.R. 1776, the "New Health Options Act of 2025," was introduced on March 3, 2025, by Rep. Gary Palmer [R-AL]. It aims to create a parallel, non-ACA marketplace for health insurance, offering tailored, cost-effective plans. Oh joy.
March 11, 1958: The Mars Bluff 'Broken Arrow' incident occurred near Florence, South Carolina. On the afternoon of March 11, Ella Hudson was nine years old and visiting her cousins' home in Mars Bluff, South Carolina. After an otherwise normal school day wrapped up, Ella had the bizarre pleasure of witnessing firsthand the US Air Force accidentally drop a nuclear weapon — with its fissile material fortunately removed — on the woods near her cousins' house.

This accident occurred after navigator Bruce Kulka was sent to the bomb bay to insert the locking pin—which had not reengaged post-take-off by hand. As Kulka tried to climb the 11' ft long, 5' ft-diameter bomb to find the pin, he inadvertently grabbed the emergency bomb release handle. Oooops! Remind you of that Dr. Strangelove scene.

An interview with a woman who survived the 1958 atomic bombing of South Carolina

Walter Gregg Sr., World War II Army veteran, retired railroad conductor, and atomic bomb accident survivor, died in 2013 at age 92.
Mars Bluff: Aftermath
1 min newsreel clip about this nuclear weapons accident, which due to strict NATSEC secrecy incorrectly refers to it as “the first accident of its kind in history”:
It's been a week since an American submarine sank an enemy warship with a torpedo, but when was the last time one sank a commercial freighter with a torpedo?
It was actually March 11, 1999 and also a Los Angeles-class submarine. USS Bremerton (SSN-698) sank M/V New Carissa off the Coast of Oregon, firing a Mark 48 ADCAP from 8,000 yards. Dubbed “The Ship That Would Not Die”, New Carissa had plagued the coast for over a month, leaking fuel oil. Prior attempts included an EOD team using 400lbs of high explosives & 69 point-detonating 5-inch, 54-caliber projectiles from USS David R. Ray (DD-971).

The bow was successfully towed out to sea and sunk. The stern section remained on the beach for over nine years until it was dismantled and finally removed in 2008.
I remember going to the beach to see this odd sight. It was on the local TV news every evening and turned into a hilarious clown show. Every time the local news needed a filler you got the latest snapshots from reporters camped out on the beach. Turned into a tourist spot for years.

Twitter wants the chaos.
Facebook is incompetent.
YouTube loves the ad views.
Why fix it if it's not broken?
One obvious thing I noticed from this latest war: there's no "freedom of the press" in America. Specifically on social media, especially on X with Elon's heavy censorship. It's a near-total blackout of information from Israel and the Gulf states. Now and then a vid clip leaks and within minutes, poof, gone.
No, Guardian, the Al-Quds Day march isn't a demonstration for Palestinian human rights. It's a display of antisemitic incitement and support for terrorism organized by a group believed to have extensive ties to the Iranian regime. Maybe stop sugarcoating extremism and start exposing the hate. Try that for a change.

"Al-Quds" is the Arabic name for Jerusalem. In London, the march has traditionally been organized by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC).
