I bet you're lots of fun at parties.

Back to Iran with Jim Mattis. Recorded in March but this is the first I've seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yrs7aMUi5A

Policy I like: Closing the border Attempting to end birthright citizenship Many, many pro-2A actions by the administration Tariffs (hate how he tried it, love that it's back on the table) H1B and other visa fees Maduro All anti-trans-normalization policy Deregulation Energy production, pipeline approval, drilling expansion Massive shift in nuclear energy policy Attacking racist admission policies at public colleges Judicial appointments (any conservative would have done this) Welfare work requirements Moving federal agencies out of DC Schedule F reform Reducing funding for planned parenthood Dismantling "climate-change" policy Waters of the US reform Support for Israel Abraham accords Fucking up Iran Even more That doesn't mean he's succeeded on these, but I don't think even you would claim Kamala would have been better for these policies, other than maybe nuclear energy. Obviously you don't agree with these policy preferences, so you don't agree with the vote. But you have to be literally retarded to be confused as to why someone who is conservative wouldn't prefer Kamala who is the enemy of conservative policy, simply because she lies, cheats, and steals in a more dignified manner. It used to be that the Democrats made excuses for the politicians they knew were lying to them and Republicans believed they had the honorable representatives. Now that seems to completely have flipped, and the liberals actually think their politicians are good people, and the conservatives are making the deals with the devil. Funny times

@17D_guy You just don't get it. None of what you say matters, because they did something everyone else liked by putting the bad Spanish speaking people in the funny camps down in Florida. You will never understand because we are men of integrity and honor. (If you can’t come in her…)

Well, isn't this the most corrupt shite - https://www.npr.org/2026/08/01/nx-s1-5912219/trump-truth-social-access-insider-trading "Starting Saturday, for a fee of up to $100,000 a month, trading firms can access "Truth API" to get a glimpse of the president's often market-moving announcements about economic policy and global affairs before the rest of the world." Won't even get into his crypto bullshit, literally stealing from his followers. "Kamala woulda been worse." lel

Actually got a chance to listen to his speech. I don't think it's as big a deal as I did before, however share @ClearedHot concerns.

Policy. lol You mean like….. -No new wars. -Consumer prices are going to come way down. -Energy costs will be cut by 50% in the first year. -The Russia-Ukraine War ended before taking office. -The national debt will be eliminated. -The Epstein files will be released. -You’ll get beautiful tremendous healthcare. -You”ll get a tariff check and a doge check. -Birthright citizenship will be ended via EO. The list goes on and on. All total BS. His “policy” is stupid vanity projects. That’s his primary focus. It’s what he likes and what he thinks will serve as his legacy. Dumb shit like his Qatari Force One, ballroom, botched reflecting pool, gilded Oval Office, UFC fights, etc. His “policy” is posting batshit memes into the wee hours of the morning, and then falling asleep at meetings. He’s alienated and betrayed our closest allies. He’s entangled us in yet another idiotic war in the Middle East and settled into a weekly routine of threatening war crimes and then TACO’ing. He’s ballooned the national debt, and calls “affordability” a made up Democrat hoax. Meanwhile, below is a highlight from today. His typical day spent golfing ….bragging about his unparalleled talent in a tournament at his own course. This is what’s important to him. Again, his give-a-shit meter is zero’d out. It’s as if he were testing just how ridiculous he can possibly get and still get away with it. And sure enough, you’re over here still like “….well, I really like his policies.” lol. Don the Con.

True on both accounts.

You mean the taxpayer pays millions

Qualified immunity needs to end in the other 48 states.

These clowns shoot the WRONG car...figure out they shot the wrong care and STILL keep the innocent people handcuffed and in custody. I hope they pay millions!

As an old guy who flew C-141’s and -17’s from 1987-2014, We used Mars Radio a lot. It was also entertaining listening to some of the other conversations as we flew endless hours during Desert Storm….

I know this won't make sense to you, because fundamentally the progressive sees only problems in the present and solutions in the future, whereas the conservative sees success in the present and problems in the future. Both are necessary, but they see the world differently. Kamala, Obama, Bernie, AOC, whoever. Now that the DNC is being steered by the progressives (and not the Clinton style liberals), there's no question for a conservative. Progressives are proudly and loudly vilifying the institutions and norms that conservatives believe made our society possible and prosperous. They defend real threats today (illegal immigration, the failures of socialism, the death of meritocracy) in the name of invisible threats (trans genocide, islamophobia, unconscious bias). The things we believe make America what it is (individualism, limited government, free speech, law and order) are the stated enemies of the progressives. Sure there are definitely threats from the right. Anyone now associated with Tucker Carlson is most likely a populist threat. But they aren't in charge, and in fact, they increasingly hate Trump. But I'll take the insane liar (Trump) who at least claims to support the things I support (and acts on them frequently) over the "sane" liars (Kamala) who have opposed my ideals for their entire career. You want it to be a hard choice. Hell, I want it to be a harder choice. But it's not. I like most of Trump's policy. I detest almost everything the progressives stand for. So if you want me to say Trump is a lunatic, yep, agreed. But if you want me to say Kamala would have been better for the country... Nope. Canada tried that with Trudeau and it was a disaster. No thanks. I know. You disagree. But you keep reinforcing our point when you think you're disproving it.

The Iran “plan” is stupid. I’d keep targeting and killing all of their top leaders (high value military and igrc targets as well) until they’ve laid down with hands out in surrender. Pausing while they pretend to negotiate is as stupid as it gets.

Please check out the small sampling (posted below) of Trump’s posts from yesterday. Just yesterday. Take a look and ask yourself: is this person of sound mind? If I had a senior leader, say my WG/CC, whose daily social media footprint looked anything like this, …..what would I think? How would I react? What assumptions would I make about his character, his focus & priorities, and his fitness to lead (especially in a time of war)? Harris was no doubt a deeply flawed candidate to say the least. But to still pretend that Trump is the lesser evil is really an astonishing level of delusion and tribalism. As anyone honestly watching can tell, Trump’s give-a-shit meter is rapidly approaching zero. And who can blame him? He’s had to masquerade for over 10 years. Can you imagine how exhausting that must be? 10 years of pretending to know what you’re doing while you’re completely overwhelmed and out of your league? 10 years of trying to act smart or knowledgable while you’re actually a total ignoramus? After a lifetime of amassing personal wealth, running through wives and porn stars, seeking fame and attention on TV, to suddenly turn around and pretend to be selfless? Pretending to give a $hit about other people when you’re hard-wired to only care about yourself. Pretending to care about lying….to fake caring that in normal society, you can’t just obviously lie and have everyone go along with it? The facade, thin though it always was, is vanishing rapidly. The social media posts, aided by AI, far crazier than ever. The interview and press answers, more rambling, nonsensical, and demented than ever. The lying, now completely off-the-charts blatant and obvious, even to a laughable degree. The corruption and profiting from the office more overt and at a larger scale than ever before. Behind the facade is just the same old, stupid, bloated egomaniac that was always there. We’re now getting to the chapter where he doesn’t even have to try to fake it or hide his true self. “Holy $hit, how much crazier will he get?” honest people ask themselves. What will it be like when his give-a-shit meter is inevitably pegged at zero? This is a complete and total national embarrassment. Full stop. Every day. ….But anyway, yeah, thank god Harris isn’t in there. Phew. We really dodged a bullet.

Yeah, my CSS and leadership team are tracking my desire to apply, but beyond that, nothing from the group or the wing. I find it interesting that this is happening to all of us, I wonder if there is some sort of delay of info flowing from the top? My package is about 95% complete, just finishing up a few items. The IFC was the biggest item, and I am glad that is good to go.

To echo what Clearedhot and Bookiebird said, it's not an easy process and in my experience most of the people (outside the historian) you'll deal with will be neutral at best on whether you ever actually get the bird into the Airpark. First thing they'll probably ask is who's paying for it? The site prep, any plaques or monuments that will go with it, actually moving the airplane into the site etc. Second thing they'll ask is who's going to maintain it once it's in the Airpark. Your Airpark should already have some sort of MoA or MoU describing who's responsible for upkeep, the Historian should have it or be able to point you in the right direction (also very possible that the agencies appointed for upkeep aren't adhering to the agreement). DAFI 84-103 is the AF reg that governs/discusses Airparks, might be worth reviewing. Third thing they'll probably ask it some version of "why". This is a want to do, not a have to do, and it's going to require work from multiple agencies to make it happen. If you have higher level leadership buy-in (min O-6/base commander, ideally MAJCOM GO or higher) it will make this project and your life a lot easier. Good luck, I hope you're able to make it happen.

KWings06J.....Your unit/base Air Force Historian is the POC you should contact to get the process started. They should be able to guide you through the process.

Somewhat and it is expensive and a pain in the arse. When all the AC-130H's retired we tried to get a few places to take one including the museum at Warner Robins. All retired aircraft technically belong to the USAF museum and they are generally ok to work with but the cost is VERY high. We were very shocked when Warner Robins said no thanks. They had been our depot for years...also, ALL of our software was developed and maintained there. A rather large community of civilians, military and contractors petitioned them but they said no de to cost. Even putting the plane in an airpark requires cleaning, painting and commitment to maintain. Look no further than the AC-130H parked at the front gate at Cannon...they have NOT taken care of it. Good luck

Clearly I haven't been on the site in a bit. If you're still looking for info pm me. Been in rescue my whole career so happy to answer what I can.

Has anyone ever been involved in getting an aircraft put into an air park on base? Apparently there was one parked a few years ago with that intent and forgotten about. Looking to get the process moving again.

Pic applies to literally every Congressional hearing testimony giver the last 10 years.

Still nothing from my squadron/group. I think my squadron is slacking tho. DS literally said "yeah just send me the stuff over if you have it" -_-

They (the left, globalists, etc…) either don’t care, don’t think it’ll backfire or are so stupid they think they can play with fire and not get burned. I’ve followed it a bit today, of the 60k that crossed about 48k have returned to Morocco but it’s still a mess and very tense. Borders and enforcement allow for stability and control, with that you can make rational, moral policies consistent with the right combination of self determination and reasonable humanity towards foreigners. Choir preaching but needs to be said apparently as the leaders of Spain are determined to test that hot stove theory yet again.
