Doctors and scientists say microwave strikes may have caused sonic delusions and very real brain damage among embassy staff and family members.

I dunno. For some reason I'd like to see a tomahawk or two flying thru the window of the head of intelligence's office, or even the president of the country that shoots beams at our guys.

The new Chicom airbase base in Africa shot lasers at our pilots, injuring them, it's good policy to let other countries do stuff to our people and not get paid back right.

If only there was something that would block microwaves but let in light and fresh air.

Like a foil lining for your hat? Al has been on the cutting edge of that technology for years. It has to do with what side of the foil faces out. I can't say as it's a trade secret.

The tire pressure gauge revelation set him back a bit, he had to get the word out on those, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him chime in on this thread as it's a favorite subject of his.

And forget about Bluetooth headphones. Just rip the door off your microwave oven and bypass the interlock switch.

It's going to be tough to find an extension cord long enough for you to get around town and run errands. And what about flying? There isn't enough seat room on planes now w/o having to factor in microwave hats.

Eh, we've got a "Really smart, super-genius" in the White House. I'm sure the Great Orange One will figure something out.

When he's not tweeting or golfing. Just heard there's another book coming out about him.

MAGA!

An American friend told me that this stands for Many Are Getting Arrested.
Just somebody with a radio, a computer and a pair of headphones...

I would think that, if there were microwave radiation being directed at these poor folks, it would leave the telltale signs that this would mean: cancerous growths, perturbed genomes, etc.
