Never in a million years did I think Katt Williams would be starting "USA! USA! USA!" chants at his comedy show. A heckler told Katt that Phoenix, Arizona, was Mexican land, and Katt COOKED him for almost 4 minutes. BEAUTIFUL 🇺🇸 🦅

They handled it perfectly - total class. This “bishop” who apparently prefers we mutilate children in the name of gender ideology & allow young girls to get gang raped by illegals at our open S border, however, is a rude, ignorant, TDS afflicted hack.

NEW: Megyn Kelly says Lauren Sanchez looked like a “hooker” at Trump’s inauguration, tells her to “have some dignity and some respect.” “No one should be talking about your t*ts.” “Have some dignity and some respect for your setting in your circumstances. No one should be talking about your t*ts. Sorry. They should be talking about the inauguration.”

In this thread. Great photos you did not think were so possibly based.

USS Enterprise in a fight for her life! Shown here in this hectic footage during her crazy snake dance on August 24 1942 when she received 3 bomb hits + near misses during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons. As for what you see in this reel (a very short description): a) First bomb impact, which took place a few seconds before the beginning of this reel is not seen - yet you can still spot the entry point near the stern elevator & the smoke coming from around that area from the fires & explosion below deck. That one penetrated all the way down to waterline level and flooded several compartments, besides forming enormous bulges on two decks, disabling pieces of machinery & the elevator itself. A 250kg Semi-Armor Piercing bomb ("ordinary bomb" in IJN lingo), obviously. b) Second bomb explodes at 00:16 near the 5 inch starboard 5 inch guns. The fire you see starting afterwards is consuming the powder used by said guns - the propellant charges for around 40 gun rounds. By the latter part of the video, you can see that it becomes a major issue. It also contributed to actually cripple Enterprise, as the water & foam used for the firefighting infiltrated the hull downwards through vents and disabled the steering motors a longtime after the action proper. From an explosion on the gallery deck, Enterprise's rudder became jammed for more than 30 minutes one hour and a half after the events. If you've ever wondered about Star Wars exhaust port design stories... Well, it does happen IRL! c) Third bomb explodes at 00:56. Now that it is enhanced, we can actually see the bomb on a couple of frames. This one was caught in a famous photograph too. It disabled elevator #2, making Enterprise a single-elevator platform for the foreseeable future (Santa Cruz & the latter part of the war were to show that being an elevator guy aboard Enterprise was a scary assignment indeed...). At some point, one of three near-misses Enterprise suffered throughout the action also deformed the hull on the port stern, but the angle of the video makes it hard to see how and when these events happen, the water falling down aside. Gotta say, that's one stable camera work by 1942 standards... You can't have it both ways! Bomb #2 & #3 were probably HE bombs ("land bombs", by IJN classification). It is known that Japanese dive bombers would have their payloads alternate between the two types (HE bombs being used for anti-air defense suppression, what it obviously did well for #2). Even though damage was still serious, one cannot help to wonder what would have happened if these two latter projectiles had been AP rounds, considering hit #3 was on a straight line to the boilers, and hit #2 would have doubled down basically on everything damaged by hit #1. Not sure Enterprise would be around in October for the second round under such circumstances. I'll probably make a video with added input from sources etc one day when I'll be done with the game, life IRL & other smaller things, but really witnessing history in such details so many decades after it took place is a blessing. I wish I had more time to study that all day... *sad* Original footage (NARA 428-npc-16936) was enhanced & edited (few cuts + music). If you like to read that kind of stuff at any rate, please do RT, it always helps with the war effort ^^ Cheers #history #usnavy #gamedev
