Stealth Cruiser

Can we all agree that the US Navy's Zumwalt-class Destroyers should have been classified as cruisers instead? Because their 155mm cannons that are being replaced with VLS hypersonic missile launchers are the kind of cannons that would have been classified as cruiser guns.

On a related note, Happy 4th of July to my American fans! Especially when it's the 250th Anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence!

Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion 40 Years On

Author's Note: At the time of the Space Shuttle Challenger's mid-air explosion the 28th of January, 1986, it was already the 29th of January in Singapore.

It's been 40 years since the tragic Space Shuttle Challenger explosion that killed 7 astronauts. One of these astronauts, Christa McAuliffe, was actually a substitute who took the place of Caroll Spinney, who revealed before his death in 2019 that he did not go on board Space Shuttle Challenger due to practical reasons, with the most obvious one being the Big Bird costume being too big to fit through the Space Shuttle entrance. This resulted in NASA requesting a teacher by the name of Christa McAuliffe taking Caroll Spinney's place instead.

May the 7 souls who boarded the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger, including the teacher Christa McAuliffe, rest in peace. Also, we all dearly miss the late Caroll Spinney as well...

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 9

Hey, folks. I'm back once again with yet another Matriarch of the Swimming Pool visual gag variations comic.

Contrary to popular belief, David the Champion of Jehovah was not the underdog that Sunday School often portrays him as in the story of David Vs Goliath. You see, slingers such as David were a Bronze Age battlefield elite that were arguably deadlier than most archers of that period. Getting hit in the face's "Golden Triangle" by a stone ball moving at 100 miles per hour is as fatal today as it was back in the days of David and Goliath. In other words, Goliath was going up against the wrong enemy...

Let's face it. Even if Dan Hibiki is considered the most pathetic character in the history of Street Fighter, he would still win against Glass Joe, Bubsy and Awesome Possum, even if these three born losers joined forces against him.

The first day of January was not the correct day to start the New Year. In fact, the Anno Mundi Calendar states that the first day of Spring, a.k.a. the Spring Equinox, is the true start of the New Year. Yet, Julius Caesar thinks there is nothing wrong with starting the New Year in the dead of Winter. Looks like the Roman Empire is the 4th Beast of Daniel 7 because that 4th Beast has a "little horn" that has the intention to change times and law...

While the Swedish Strv 74 looks weak and outdated by Cold War standards, even this tank could win against the Panzer 68 despite the Panzer 68's superior stats because the Panzer 68 was very problematic according to the Swiss Ministry of Defence.

Speaking of problematic tanks, China's Type 69 Tank was problematic, but not as problematic as the Panzer 68. Both the Iranians and Iraqis identified serious problems with the Type 69 Tank during the Iran-Iraq War. Even the M47 Patton, which would have been considered obsolete by this point, could win against the Type 69. With all that said, Thailand did the right thing when they dumped their Type 69 Tanks overboard to turn them into artificial reefs.

If there was anyone in Puella Magi Madoka Magica who had to go through far worse suffering than even born losers such as Dan Hibiki, Glass Joe, Bubsy and Awesome Possum, it has to be Sayaka Miki. Her funeral at the beginning of Episode 11 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a fusion of tragedy and depression because she wanted to heal Kyosuke's hands, but this left her unappreciated and she became so depressed that she became the very same enemy she was supposed to fight against, and ended up dying as a result.

The Most American of American Automobiles

If there is any automobile manufacturer from the United States that is the most American of all, it has to be Chevrolet. And no other Chevy defines America even more than the Corvette and the Camaro.

While the Chevrolet Camaro is very American by American automobile standards, the Chevrolet Corvette is by far the most American Chevy because it has been around since 1953, while the Camaro debuted 13 years later.

On a related note, Happy 4th of July to all my American fans.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 2

Another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme? Looks like this comic could become a new Internet meme.

Bad news, folks. The tariff wars will be nothing compared to the debt bombs America and China are sitting on right now. If these debt bombs explode, it will cause a downturn that's far worse than the Great Depression, and it will ultimately lead to World War 3...

For those wondering what a xenophyophore is, it is an undersea amoeba that can grow up to eight inches in diameter. It's possible Kirby is a pink xenophyophore because official Nintendo sources confirm that Kirby's diameter is eight inches.

Risotto was always a great alternative to pasta and pizza for Italian Restaurants. Nuff said.

Anime was possibly the real reason striped bikinis are so popular in Japan. Change my mind.

Contrary to popular belief, the final battle between good and evil that threatens to end the world as we know it will not take place at Armageddon, but rather, that epic final battle will take place near Jerusalem, or more accurately, near what remains of Jerusalem.

The L6/40 is an Italian World War 2 light tank that is known for being weak in that particular conflict. Therefore, it would be better off being demolished in the Street Fighter 2 car breaker bonus stage.

Warships Named After Canberra

Fun Fact: USS Canberra was named in honor of HMAS Canberra, a cruiser that was sunk by the Japanese during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Also, HMAS Canberra (L02) participated in the commissioning of USS Canberra (LCS-30).

Mothballed Big Guns

If you think HMS Agincourt and HMS Erin getting decommissioned after less than ten years was disappointing, then you have obviously not heard about the short careers of the Alaska-class battlecruisers, the North Carolina-class battleships and the (1939) South Dakota-class battleships. In fact, none of these three ship classes will see any further action after Japan signed the surrender papers that officially ended World War 2, and the North Carolina-class battleships had shorter service lengths than HMS Agincourt. Talk about a short career...

Anti-Tank Magical Girl

Continuing from that comic about characters who would win against a T-72 tank, I decided to expand on it by coming up with this comic about eight tanks Rit would win against if she were to confront them.

Remember when I said that the first boss of the Mysterious Pyramid levels of the arcade version of Rod Land was a tank? It turns out Rit and Tam won against that boss, which inspired me to come up with the comic about characters who would win against a T-72 tank, and this comic is a sequel focused on eight tanks Rit would win against if she were to confront them.

M47 Patton: This tank never got to fire a single shot in anger under the American Flag, but it saw a lot of action in various conflicts. However, its combat record was below average, with the biggest blemish being the Iran-Iraq War, where Iranian M47 Pattons got destroyed by Iraqi tanks of Russian origin.

Chieftain Tank: Britain's attempt to create a more powerful successor to the highly successful Centurion Tank was actually a disappointment that got rejected by Allied countries, including the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. There was a silver lining in that rejection, however, because Iranian Chieftains were getting massacred by Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War. Even Iraqi tank crews claim that their sabot rounds were going through Chieftain Tanks like a hot knife slicing through butter, and those claims turned out to be true.

Type 62 Tank: This Chinese light tank invaded Vietnam during the Sino-Vietnamese War, only to perform poorly in that conflict due to its weak armor.

Type 63 Tank: Another Chinese light tank that invaded Vietnam during the Sino-Vietnamese War. Like the Type 62, it performed poorly in that conflict as well. During the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqi Type 63 light tanks invaded the Saudi Arabian city of Ras Al Jafiji to little success. The reason behind the Type 63's poor performance in the Sino-Vietnamese War and the 1991 Gulf War? Blame its weak armor.

Type 69 Tank: When the Type 69 Tank first came out, it was initially rejected by the Chinese Ministry of Defence due to its poor performance, and all 100 Type 69 Tanks were sent back to the factory that built them. After improvements were made, the Type 69 tank got better. So much better that China manufactured Type 69 Tanks for Iran and Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War. Talk about playing both sides...

Panzer 68: The Panzer 68 had so many problems that it could well be considered the worst tank to have entered military service. The Swiss Ministry of Defence knew about the Panzer 68's problems and they rectified many of these problems with the upgrade to the 68/88 model.

TR-85: Romania's most successful attempt at an indigenous combat tank project was not without teething problems. The problems were so bad that the communist regime threatened to cease tank production. Even after the modernization program that came after the fall of communism, the TR-85 still looks like a relic of the Cold War. In fact, the Romanian Ministry of Defence is mulling over retiring the TR-85. But with no replacement, the TR-85 will have to remain in service with the Romanian Army despite its obsolescence.

Arjun MBT: India's attempt to create "Leopard 2 Tank at home" was a huge disaster. How bad was the Arjun MBT project, you say? The project was mired in so much corruption that the final product ended up having a worse performance than the T-90 Tank. And Krauss-Maffei's involvement in the Arjun MBT project wasn't helping either because the Arjun's MTU engines were not the type of engines you would expect to find in the Leopard 2, but rather, these MTU engines were similar to the ones found in the Leopard 1.

With all that said, if Rit is a magical girl that is capable of anti-tank warfare, then she is eligible to be on the "Top 10 Best Magical Girls" list.

Imminent Doom

Whoever wins the United States Presidential Election this year, the world loses because it will enter the worst part of the end times. Even Wile E Coyote from Looney Tunes knows that The End is near...

Too Late for the Cold War

Some Allied military hardware that were conceived during the Cold War entered service after the Cold War ended when Russia threw in the towel after the Soviet Union collapsed. Here are just seven military vehicles of the Allied Nations that entered military service after the Cold War ended in 1991.

If there was anything Britain's Challenger 2, France's Leclerc and Italy's C1 Ariete main battle tanks (MBTs) have in common, it's being conceived during the Cold War only to enter service with their respective countries after the Cold War ended.

The Seawolf-class submarines of the United States Navy (USN) were conceived with the possibility of a Russo-American War in mind. However, problems during construction meant the commissioning of the first ship of the class was delayed until 1997. By then, Russia had already admitted defeat.

The first keel for Canada's Halifax-class frigates was laid down in 1987, but HMCS Halifax, the first ship in the class, was not commissioned until 1992, meaning the Halifax-class frigates arrived too late for the Cold War, which ended at the end of 1991.

Australia's Collins-class submarines were the result of proposals to replace the Oberon-class submarines in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in 1978. Like the American Seawolf-class submarines, the Collins-class submarines encountered construction problems as well. By the time HMAS Collins was commissioned, the Cold War was long over.

Taiwan's F-CK-1 Ching-kuo fighter jets had China as an opponent in mind when it had its first flight in 1989. When it entered service in 1992, the Cold War was already over by then, and China acknowledged that the Soviet Union had already collapsed, so technically, the F-CK-1 Ching-kuo fighter jets entered service after Russia threw in the towel.

Now with Russia, China and all their other battle buddies itching to go to war (Russia has already invaded Ukraine), these vehicles that arrived too late for the Cold War may just see real combat action (Challenger 2 tanks have fought in Iraq and are battling enemies in the war in Ukraine, while Leclerc tanks in UAE service have intervened in Yemen). Not to mention that all of these vehicles appear in the Daisenryaku series of military strategy video games.

Player-Owned Ports Memories (Part 1)

Do you remember the days when we gave all kinds of wacky different names to our ships in RuneScape's Player-Owned Ports? What about naming our Player-Owned Ports ships after actual ships of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy or the United States Navy? Those were the glory days...

For those wondering what ships Captain Rodney and his navy buddies are referring to, HMS Diamond, HMS Dragon, HMS Ocean and HMS Illustrious are Royal Navy ships that were in active service as at 6/6/2012, while USS Enterprise, USS Ranger, USS Fletcher, USS King, USS Narwhal, USS Shark, USS Jack and USS Swordfish are US Navy ships that were in active service as at 6/6/1988.

More Great Warships that did not fight in a war

Here is another comic featuring great warships that never had a chance to fight in a real war. Click here to see my previous comic about great warships that did not get a chance to fight in a real war.

HMS Vanguard (23) was the last battleship to enter service in the UK's Royal Navy. Having been commissioned in 1946, it came too late to fight against Germany and Japan, which were both vanquished in 1945. HMS Vanguard (23) did not even get to fire at communist forces during the Korean War, and it did not even get to fight against Soviet Russia throughout its 14 years of active service. Its only major role was for the 1960 film "Sink the Bismarck!" And that film was made shortly before the decommissioning of HMS Vanguard (23), in which the decommissioning was filmed as part of the Look at Life film series.

Did you know that Spain operates aircraft carriers? One of those aircraft carriers was Príncipe de Asturias. It was commissioned in 1988. By that point, the Soviet Union was on its last legs, meaning Príncipe de Asturias did not have to fight against Soviet Russia. Príncipe de Asturias did not take part in Spain's involvement in Operation Desert Storm, nor was it part of Spain's involvement in the Allied invasion of Iraq, meaning the Spanish aircraft carrier had a largely uneventful career by the time it was decommissioned in 2013.

Sweden's Sverige-class coastal defence battleships had a largely uneventful career. Other than HSwMS Drottning Victoria and HSwMS Gustaf V having to bring a dead Swedish queen back to Stockholm from Germany in 1930, HSwMS Gustaf V running aground off Malmö in 1933, and HSwMS Gustaf V having a boiler explosion in 1940 that killed ten people, the Sverige-class coastal defence battleships were to never see combat at all. This could be due to Germany having no interest in invading Sweden during World War 2 and Russia having no interest in invading Sweden during the early days of the Cold War.

The German Federal Republic had some great fighting ships during the Cold War. Among them were the training cruiser Deutschland and the Hamburg-class destroyers, both of whom along with the Lütjens-class destroyers, were among the biggest ships of the German Federal Republic's Navy. But neither the training cruiser Deutschland nor any of the Hamburg-class destroyers were to see any real combat whatsoever. In fact, no warship of the Federal Republic of Germany was to see combat throughout the entire Cold War because the Federal Republic of Germany took back East Germany when the East German communist regime blundered and as a result, surrendered without a shot being fired.

Little information is known about the career of USS Narwhal (SSN-671). It was eventful, however, because it was involved in monitoring Soviet vessels. USS Narwhal (SSN-671) sustained minor damage during Hurricane Hugo in 1989. It was also the venue of a 1993 reunion of the USS Narwhal (SS-167) crew, and it was also the stealthiest submarine in the US Navy until USS Seawolf (SSN-21) came along.

Denmark's Willemoes-class missile boats did not get to fight against the Russian Navy's Baltic Fleet because the Danish Navy did a very good job at keeping Russia's Baltic Fleet bottled up without any direct confrontation, and none of the Willemoes-class missile boats were involved in Denmark's participation in Operation Desert Storm. However, one of these Willemoes-class missile boats, HDMS Sehested, achieved a top speed of 42.5 knots, which were the highest recorded and documented speed ever achieved for the Willemoes-class missile boats. This was good enough to get HDMS Sehested preserved by the Royal Danish Naval Museum alongside frigate HDMS Peder Skram and submarine HDMS Sælen. So if you ever visit Copenhagen, please pay a visit to the Royal Danish Naval Museum and their three Cold War era museum ships.

D-Day 80th Anniversary

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the historic D-Day Landings at Normandy. Between this event and the Russo-German War, the Third Reich was doomed, and Europe was liberated.

Unfortunately, this landmark anniversary has been overshadowed by the decline of the Anglosphere, the war in Israel, tensions over Taiwan and Korea, the Russo-Ukrainian War, and Europe shunning its liberators in favor of another attempt to revive the Roman Empire. Hitler's Third Reich was merely the sixth attempt to revive the Roman Empire. The European Union that deceived its member states has now been revealed to be the seventh attempt to revive the Roman Empire.

Then again, Germany did not see the armies of the United States, Britain and Canada as liberators who overthrew a tyrannical regime but occupiers because the directive that was issued to Allied Forces in 1945 stated that Germany was to be occupied as a defeated enemy nation and not for the purpose of liberation. This is not a good sign because Germany is rejecting democracy in favor of another attempt to revive the Roman Empire and it will result in another World War. One that will end in no flesh being saved alive if Christ does not return...

Plumb Line Vision

Author's Note: To my American and German readers, please take note of the plumb line vision in Amos 7 if you want to save yourselves from God's Judgment upon the Earth.

If you have read Amos 7:7-8, you would have been aware of God showing Amos a plumb line. This means God has had enough of Israel's crooked ways and he will no longer spare them.

For those wondering what a plumb line is, it is a cord with a non-magnetic weight attached to one end. Plumb lines are used in construction to find the true vertical. The last thing engineers who work in construction want is a leaning wall because walls fall in the direction in which it is leaning.

It's possible Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States of America as well as the Olaf Scholz Administration in the Federal Republic of Germany are the plumb lines of our modern age. If that is true, then Pax Americana and the Second German Democracy are on their last legs because America's sins are worse than we thought, while Germany's lack of repentance proves that Niklas Frank was right all along about Germany not repenting for all the wrongs they did in World War 2.

In conclusion, America and Germany will be at the mercy of God's Judgment before the end of this cruel age.

Update: On the 23rd of February, 2025, Olaf Scholz was humiliated after the Social Democrats were soundly defeated by the CDU/CSU Coalition. As a result, the new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is now the plumb line in Germany.

Regulatory Imperialism

Nobody wants to hear this, but the real truth about the growing Internet censorship, be it the copyright takedowns or the European Union, Brazil and Australia calling for the censorship of X (formerly Twitter), is that Germany has imposed its will on the World Wide Web through mundane, boring legislation. It's called regulatory imperialism, and the European Union is weaponizing it. This is even more dangerous than the last time Germany plunged the world into a global conflict because the corrupt bureaucrats, their pawns and their allies will be screaming for your imprisonment for saying bad things about them online or just trying to defend free speech, Fair Use and freedom of creativity. It gets even worse when you learn that countries that are not part of the European Union such as Brazil, Japan, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, have signed regulation treaties with the European Union, meaning the only way to do business with the European Union is to obey their regulations. This includes copyright regulations, which can explain all the copyright takedowns, whether they are unlawful or not.

In conclusion, we are indeed living in the twilight days of Internet freedom, and its all the fault of an undemocratic institution that cheated and lied to millions of Europeans, including the French and the Germans...

Exposing the Emissions Cartel

You were expecting a comic about Good Friday or crucifixion. But it was a comic about German consumers being angry at the corporate greed of their country's automakers that got uploaded instead.

Did you know that BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche were accused of operating a "car cartel" as far back as the 1990s? Despite being arch-rivals, these German automakers have been revealed to be secretly working together to deceive American environmental agencies. All of this was part of the German industrialists' post-war plan to conquer the global economy. Unfortunately, German consumers have seen this deception, and are now furious at such anti-consumer business practices. This is the "Dieselgate" scandal, and German consumers have joined hands with American consumers to boycott Volkswagen in protest against anti-consumer business practices.

However, that is nothing compared to the German business leaders' corporate greed being responsible for the Second Reich instigating World War 1 and the Third Reich instigating World War 2. This means Kaiser Wilhelm II as well as Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were pawns of a shadow government all along. Even without mentioning these people, Angela Merkel revealed this truth on the day she stepped down as chancellor of Germany.

Sadly, the corporate greed that made Germany start two World Wars will also bring about a third World War. One that will bring the Anglosphere and Israel to their knees for being very wayward, and will threaten to turn the Earth into a tohu and bohu hellscape where no flesh is saved alive. Thankfully, Christ will come again, and he will free Germany from the corporate greed that brought misery to millions of people worldwide.

In conclusion, Germany's brand of corporate greed should be locked up in prison. Period.

Manasseh the Forgetful

In Hebrew, Manasseh means "causing to forget" or "one who forgets". Also, Joseph's son Manasseh was believed to be the ancient progenitor of the American people. The sad part is that the distant descendants of the lost tribe of Manasseh have lost their memory as well. This is very dangerous for America because the United States of America is possibly that great nation that was established by the descendants of Manasseh according to Genesis 48:19.

Different Destroyer Classes with the same name

Apparently, the United States Navy's two different versions of the Farragut-class destroyers were not the only instance of a ship class having the same name. Sweden and France have already done that with their submarine classes, as well as Britain with their battleship and cruiser classes, and Italy with their destroyer classes as well. In fact, Sweden had two different versions of the Hajen-class submarine as well as two different versions of the Draken-class submarine that they had to name the two different Hajen-classes as the Hajen II-class and Hajen III-class, and the two Draken-classes were known as the Draken I-class and Draken II-class. As for why there was no Hajen I-class submarine, that's because the first HSwMS Hajen was actually an individual submarine. For the French submarine classes, two of their submarine classes had their lead ship named "Le Redoutable". In the case of British battleship classes having the same name, there were two battleship classes named in honor of King George V, and two British cruiser classes had their lead ship named "HMS Arethusa". As for the case of two different Italian destroyer classes having the same name, that was already done when the Italian Navy had two different versions of the Audace-class destroyers.

Denouncing Leftist Lies

There's a good reason leftists hate arrogant jerks who want to humiliate them. The leftists clearly smell of mental illness, and the arrogant jerks who dislike leftists know it.

Leftism and socialism were definitely not good, and it's not just in Poland. Look at many of the countries that have embraced leftism and socialism. Leftism promised equality. Socialism promised free healthcare and housing. But both of them have lied. If the United States of America and other Anglosphere countries saw the true extent of the damage leftism had done to the countries that have embraced socialism, they would have opened their eyes and decide to side with the arrogant jerk Donald Trump. Even Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants the Trump back in the White House. Then the leftists will finally get humiliated for trying to establish a socialist tyranny where freedom of speech is forbidden.

Natural Sightseeing Sceneries

Why are we fascinated with nice scenery? Maybe it's because of the tranquility.

You do know that the place where Windows XP's Bliss wallpaper comes from is known for being a vineyard. Of course scenery sightseers will like that place. It has always been a historic landmark due to Microsoft's Windows XP.

When it comes to great Italian scenery, olive groves are definitely among them. Just as vineyards are associated with wine, olive groves are associated with olive oil, and Italy is known for having great wine and great olive oil.

For those wondering whether maple trees exist in South Korea, the answer is yes. Maple trees do exist in South Korea. Therefore, MapleStory originating from South Korea makes a lot of sense.

Nothing defines great Japanese scenery like cherry blossoms. The have always been synonymous with springtime in Japan. Maybe that's why Anime likes cherry blossoms a lot.

Pine forests exist all over the Northern parts of the Earth, and Sweden is one of those places. In fact, Swedish pine forests are synonymous with great Swedish scenery, and quite possibly the wooden furniture you can find in IKEA.

With all that said, sightseers should take this opportunity to visit these scenic places before they're gone.
