I thought some Army space units were subsumed into the USSF. Probably one of those folks.

Unfathomable? Immigration turned California from red to a one-party blue state where in many races the Republicans don't even bother to run a candidate.

I struggle to think of what one would differently if one were deliberately trying to destroy the USA from within...

Why, it's like they are trying to lay the groundwork for a mass genocide of their political enemies...

Medicare fraud is estimated at $20B a year and there's probably a similar amount in Food Stamps, Social Security Disability, etc. and Uncle Sam ain't lifting a figure to stop any of that.

Sovereignty? California legalized illegal immigrants serving as police officers a couple of years ago. Let that sink in..

Sorry if this the wrong thread to post this at but seeing Steve Davies post at the top reminds me that if you haven't seen his Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKRC6h8Vk4d2a9hHDrS1hMA) 10% True, you are missing out. Tons of great aviation interviews on there.

Meh, we all did stupid stuff as lieutenants. 'Course the AF doesn't find out about most of it. I'm still waiting for the hammer to drop on some of shenanigans I pulled as a Lt and I've been retired for 7 years.

I think that's their whole point. It's President Obama's third term after all (given most of President Biden's staff are from President Obama's administration) and if you wanted to run this country into the ground, what would you have done differently?

If you are pro-open borders, what did you take an oath to defend? Genuinely curious.

I believe you can judge someone by who they call their friends. Hamas considers Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, The Squad, etc. their friends (and vice versa). All evil and wicked. That should tell you all you need to know.

Probably won't be beyond the realm of possible to scrape the internet to find pictures of military kids and use AI to create a fake image of them in front of their school or at little league practice and text those to military parents with a warning. Or imagine you're a FO/GO and you get a text that if you participate in ops against China all of your bank and retirements have been hacked and it will all disappear. I'm sure they would do their duty but what a mindf$@ck. The possibilities for troublemaking are endless and it would work far better against us than against our adversaries...

I don't get the Dem's vice grip on the African-American vote either. The Dems seem to only care about issues important to that community every 4 years- otherwise it's lip service. Also, an argument can be made that the rampant illegal immigration the Dems are in favor of has hurt blue-collar African-Americans in the trades more than any other group but still 90% vote for the Dems.

The people I'm angriest at are the Establishment Republicans (GOPe). The Dems are driving the country off a cliff but the GOPe is only interested that they do it in 2nd gear instead of 5th. Trump was a protest vote to wake our Republican congresscritters up and it didn't do any good. Aside from some tax breaks, name a single major conservative issue that has passed through Congress in our favor. Repeal of Obamacare? Repeal of the National Firearms Act? Reduce the size of government? Nope, nada, zilch. The Dems have been captured by the extreme left that wants to remake this country into North Korea or the PRC (you're high if you don't think the social credit score thing will be implemented here). The fight between the Dems and Repubs used to be mostly about the size of the welfare state; it is now a fundamental transformation of everything and the GOPe's strategy is to lose with dignity. If our side did what we sent them there to do, that charlatan Trump would have never been elected.

Air Force JROTC has a full ride PPL scholarship with no obligation incurred and yet in the three years I've been teaching it, I've only had 5 out of 250+ cadets apply. I would have killed for an opportunity like that when I was in high school...
