  1. A new remote assignment coming soon to an island not near you or anything... US Air Force to reclaim Pacific airfield that launched atomic bombings as it looks to counter China Actually a very good strategic move, while still on the same range ring a Guam, it will dilute China's ability to mass fires on Guam (sounds like they are beefing up the international airport as well.
  2. I think they both have the right, who has the will.
  3. They are suing to avoid the $130M exit fee. Very short-sighted in my opinion, will damage their basketball team and other sports.
  4. Ten Confederate states removed Lincoln form the ballot...
  5. It is a desperate move by far left lunatics that are scared and it likely opened Pandora's box as California is now exploring doing the same thing California lieutenant governor calls for exploring options to take Donald Trump off the presidential ballot
  6. Mario has faults, recruiting is not one of them. Flipping Armando Blount from FSU was huge, he also flipped two other Five Stars. As of now the recruiting class rankings are 1. Georgia, 2. Alabama, 3 Miami, 4. OSU. The best part is seeing folks flee from the Gators. Miami flipped top LB prospect Adarius Hayes from UF which led to this article - Florida’s rough signing day and Billy Napier’s broken promises "two years into the Napier era, had a disastrous first day of the early signing period." - I hope they give Napier a life-time contract! We shall see how it plays out.
  7. In 2019 former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said in 2019 that under the Obama administration said "1,000 apprehensions was a crisis." On Dec 18, 2023, 14,509 illegal immigrants encountered in one day. We don't know how many were unobserved. We now have the equivalent of the population of Tampa Florida pouring across our border every MONTH. DNC/Whitehouse/Big Guy - "Nothing to see here, everything is fine"
  8. Beats sitting on the couch at home because you don't qualify for a Bowl Game.
  9. Scuttlebutt only at this point but I've heard ACC, AMC and GSC all go away and a new MAJCOM called "Combat Forces will be formed encompassing everything from Fighters, Bombers, Tankers, and Air Mobility in one giant dysfunctional command. Sounds like a giant flashback to the Composite Wings under good ole Merrill.
  10. Need to set my DVR...Which bowl game are the Gators playing in?
  11. I don't put blind faith int he government. I've compared against a lot of other sources and tend to believe these numbers are very close.
  12. Sorry dude, I turned in my tin foil hat a long time ago.
  13. Sobering report that details a lot of the damage done to the Russian military in the last two years. Here is where you money has gone. Russia has lost 87% of troops it had prior to start of Ukraine war, according to US intelligence assessment "Of the 360,000 troops that made up Russia’s pre-invasion ground force, including contract and conscript personnel, Russia has lost 315,000 on the battlefield, according to the assessment. 2,200 of 3,500 tanks have been lost, according to the assessment. 4,400 of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers have also been destroyed, a 32 percent loss rate." “Since launching its offensive in October, we assess that the Russian military has suffered more than 13,000 casualties along the Avdiivka-Novopavlivka axis and over 220 combat vehicle losses-the equivalent of 6 maneuver battalions in equipment alone,”
  14. Stand by for more chaos - ‘Huge change’ afoot? Air Force apparently weighing major command structure revamp
  15. You should push through, its his schtick and not all of his vodeos are like that. He has done some great work calling out and exposing BS directed towards our troops. Like A senior Army GO blaming the troops for moldy barracks , calling out a Marine Officer who says publicly said "we should not commission prior enlisted because it eroded the esteem, legitimacy and distinct culture of the officer corps" , the case of a Marine Lance Corporal who as of a few months ago was under arrest and in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT for refusing to get the COVID Vaccine and my favorite an epic case of Stolen Valor he helped exposed and resulted in the offender going to prison. He is far from a douchebag, he is a guardsman and I think if you watched a few of his videos you probably share 90% of his views on things like toxic leadership, stolen valor and guns.
  16. Wife wants to go. Really disappointed in Kirk, he has always been a homer for OSU which I get but his comments about the CFP and leaving FSU are unreal. There are some claiming he and ESPN put their thumbs on the scale, he is pushing back and crying like a bitch because people are calling him out. A very interesting article exposes him and how he made the exact opposite argument two years ago: "An undefeated NON-P5 Cincinnati team who beat TWO ranked teams all year only needed to win the rest of their games, and he thought they would be in. He talks about beating a “decent” SMU team and Houston in their conference championship game like that was enough. FSU beat three ranked teams and EIGHT teams ranked in the top 50F+ ratings That’s the most among any team invited to the playoffs." @VMFA187 Indeed, Miami is all in ona quality QB to replace TVD and help mature the kid from Milton. Many of the so called "experts" look at Miami's recruiting class (3 X 5 stars), flipping commits from Florida and OSU, portal results and bench and think they are an elite QB away from being a contender.
  17. I don't think anyone views you or Bashi as a fanboy (at least I hope not), more akin to the isolationists leading up to WWII. We've been dancing with Russia since the end of WW II with ups and downs on both sides. The collapse of the FSU gave hope for long-term peace. Even the proxy conflicts abated for many years. However, with the rise of Putin and his desire to rebuild the FSU we have seen him reaching beyond Russia's borders through both direct and indirect action. I certainly understand the view of taking care of our borders and feeding our people here at home, but I also see the long-term danger of leaving Putin's actions unchecked. As a person with a strategic view I think my side of the argument sees the dangers as far more pressing and concerning than just territory lost in Ukraine. The second and third order effects destabilize everything and yes I think it emboldens Putin to go further. Energy markets, the world's food supply and a land war in Europe are not trivial matters to be ignored. One of the biggest mistakes we make as Americans is we tend to think our adversaries will act rationally as we would. Of course Putin wouldn't invade invade Poland, that would be foolish, right? Putin is a dictator, a ruthless one and if you step back and look at the things he is willing to do (employing chemical and radioactive material ON NATO SOIL, genocide, taking territory by force), it is not a stretch to think he might make other actions that we would consider irrational. Bullies respond to force and the tougher we make the fight in Ukraine for Putin I believe the lower the chance Putin takes aggressive action elsewhere.
