    New Mexico's turn to go full retard. Just one of the gems in SB17 seeks to ban ALL gas operated semi-automatic guns.

    Trump's Foreign Policy is a big departure from President's past. He removed the criminal leading Venezuela, Iran is about to fall and, not getting much press is the full court press on Cuba. Not a fully named embargo but little oil is getting in and they likely have less than 30 days reserve on island. Interesting that Maduro's protection element was all Cuban and it is coming to light that there was a lot of fentanyl coming in through via and enabled by Cuba. Numerous Russian military transports have landed in Cuba the last three weeks...intel indicated Air Defense, attack drones and ECM assets. Would be interesting if he took, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba all off the table as threats in a single term.

    It is hearing safe! Interesting video below - cliff notes he says 5.7MM has the following advantages - More rounds same space (some gun mags up to 24 rounds), less recoil, better penetration (including level 2 body armor which 9MM can't penetrate), longer range, better reliability issues because it doesn't use a feed ramp like most 9MM's. I won't be replacing all my 9MMs anytime soon but I am impressed. The biggest advantage I've seen is how light, small and quiet it is which makes it useful for home defense.

    This is what happens when you hire people into your administration based solely on their celebrity status. Pretending like these people have any appreciation for the Constitution or conservative rights more broadly is naive. They are where they are because they exist only to accrue power and fame. It's why so many of them switch parties when they become pariahs in their own. Trump is a good example. He has a very specific set of issues and policies that he cares about, and frequently steps on a conservative landmine on issues he doesn't care about, like gun control. Then his base loses their mind, and he quickly pivots on that issue to align more conservatively.

    How does it sound with the suppressor? I assume it’s still not hearing safe. I’m still undecided on the 5.7, but it is interesting and somewhere on the list. I’ve started a pretty expensive rifle build, and hunting for an airplane, so I unfortunately may actually have to break my own rule and only get one gun this year (gross, that just sounds terrible).

  11. The situation gets more interesting by the day. Fat Amy in action - Iranian Drone Downed: U.S. forces shot down an Iranian Shahed surveillance drone on February 3 as it approached the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, currently deployed approximately 500 miles off the Iranian coast. According to a statement from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) spokesman. Also, Iran tried to board and Seize the Stena Imperative, a U.S. flagged tanker. This particular tanker is part of the U.S. Maritime Administration's Tanker Security Program (TSP). As a strategic asset, it provides military fuel transport The vessel is part of a fleet of 10 U.S.-flagged tankers designated to support Department of Defense (DoD) fuel requirements during contingencies, emergencies, or war. The GW left Norfolk today enroute to the Middle East.
  12. FSU is circling the drain...and it doesn't look like they can afford to buy out Mike. Report: Florida State reports $437 million in athletics-related debt in 2025 Florida State University (FSU) reported $617 Million in total institutional debt for FY25, with a significant $437 million, or 71%, attributed to athletics, making it one of the most leveraged athletic departments in college sports. This surge, a 2,465% increase from 2020, is driven by massive, debt-financed stadium renovations and a new football facility.

    No issues finding ammo....still a bit pricey. I have a lot of .223 and a LOT of 9MM and usually still to that but the feel of this gun was too good to pass up. Great truck gun.
  14. Dude, @brabus and @Lord Ratner already took you to school over this, but one thing I'll pile on with: that document was signed with a fake name. Now, I understand the necessity to protect underage victims, but you may as well have produced a document that was signed by Bert and Ernie. As others have stated: you will have a lot of us supporting you once these allegations are substantiated. Until then, this is just more political mud-slinging.

    In other news. “Shall not be infringed” right Jeanine? I have a hard time trusting the government no matter who's in charge because of statements like this.
  16. fire4effect replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    I like the brace. 👍Have one myself. How hard is it to find ammo? I've always tried to keep all my firearms in the more commonly available calibers. I've liked 300 BO for a long time, but I had to convince myself before I bought the platform it was finally mainstream enough that it would stay in production.

    Electronic Form 4 with a TS/SCI took 17 days...Guy with no clearance submitted same day, same shop, 9 days. Anyway, my new Spartac 5.7X28. Integrated suppressor, WICKED light even with a 32 round mag. Optics and foregrip on order.
  18. Never underestimate the stupidity of some people, and don't associate rank with intelligence!
  19. Last year’s forum theorized that assignments were loaded based on merit, like those will more competitive packages were given earlier class dates. No idea if that was true. I’ll report my last initial when my dates are loaded lol
  20. Damn me for going from an E to a P last name when I got married! 😂 Glad to see class dates are starting to trickle out though. I really thought with the shutdown it’d all be on hold.
  21. Buddy just got Laughlin 15 May IPT 20 Oct UPT. Good chance they're going down the list and loading assignments alphabetically.
  22. It's kind of a weird flex to criticize me for asking for Cliff's notes, then giving me the Cliff's notes. So, thanks? I guess? I agree there is some interesting stuff in there, in isolation. Certainly about Elon, who has been unstable at best since he became famous. Considering silicon valley has rather poorly hidden secret regarding parties loaded with sex and drugs, it would not surprise me at all if Elon was an eager participant. But as with all things, you are once again picking very specific parts of a story and putting them together to craft the narrative you want. Elon wanting to go to sex Island is only a scandal if Jeffrey Epstein was sharing his underage victims with Elon. Bill Gates getting an STD from a Russian whore is only interesting if the Russian whore was underage and Hates knew it. Donald Trump raping a minor will certainly be interesting, if it is substantiated. Kind of remarkable how in a world where even the Chinese couldn't keep their coronavirus fuck up a secret, somehow Jeffrey Epstein was able to maintain a clandestine underage sex extortion operation, without so much as a single shred of confirmable evidence, long after he was dead. But can we please stop pretending like an allegation is anything more than that? Should an allegation be investigated? Absolutely. And from the looks of it everything you posted was investigated already. My entire adult life, starting with my time at USAFA, has been plagued by "experts" with an axe to grind insisting that 90% of sexual encounters for women are rape. If she's had a drink? Rape. If she's a subordinate? Rape. If she didn't give you verbal affirmative consent? Rape. If she regretted the encounter the next day? Rape. Also: A woman would never lie about being raped. A woman would never use sex to get ahead in her career. A woman who used sex to get ahead in her career would never lie about it if the relationship was discovered... It's all absolute nonsense. But like everything else in politics today, if it's good for your team, you'll ignore every shred of common sense you once had and pray the story, no matter how absurd, is somehow true. You know, like that woman who claims to have been raped in a department store, but doesn't exactly remember when and doesn't exactly remember how and doesn't remember exactly where? Even though that alleged rape so thoroughly ruined her life, according to her own testimony, she couldn't remember any details that would have actually helped in substantiating her claim. Same goes for all the good MAGA Christians I know who insisted that Donald Trump is really a good man, and Stormy Daniels was just making that story up for more attention. Normally I would say let's do a full investigation of the incidents you posted here from the latest document dump. But there's already been an investigation. These women have already been milked for every drop of information, and both you and I know damn well that if there was anything even remotely substantiated in any of these claims, Donald Trump would have been publicly crucified a long time ago. There is simply no universe where the Democrats would have sat on this information. So no, I don't support another investigation because it's painfully clear at this point that the investigations are being used as just another tool to win elections. You either know that, or you are every bit as stupid as you sound online. It's also fucking stupid to tell another person that they should be reading mountains of evidence released by the justice department. Are you kidding me? Is your life really so empty and boring that you have time to do something like this, that will have no effect on anything or anyone anywhere anytime? Jesus Christ man, learn to knit. At least then you'll have some socks and a lot less mental anguish. I already spend more time on my phone than I should, when I should just be playing with my toddlers, and you think I should spend even more time "doing my own research" about the most investigated conspiracy in modern history? No thanks. I have every confidence that you'll bust the case wide open without my help 🤣😂
  23. I guess we’ll see how well my comment ages I would like to add one Which party wants to let an elementary school age boy cut off his junk because he thinks he wants to be a girl. Without parents consent BTW
  24. You used to serve as a good counterpoint to the obviously conservative tone on this forum, but you’ve drifted into an ideologue spewing outright falsehoods...you can't admit a single fault with the actions on the left. Most people on here have been clear they disagree with plenty of what Trump says. That’s not in dispute. What is disconnected from reality is your insinuation that the “party of Trump” is poised to destroy or kill anyone who isn’t in lockstep with some imagined orthodoxy. Let’s talk about actual violence, not vibes. Which side burned entire city blocks, torched police stations, and caused billions in damage during the 2020 riots—riots that left dozens dead? Which side created “autonomous zones” enforced by armed mobs where people were shot and killed? Which side spent years firebombing courthouses and attacking federal buildings in places like Portland? Which side shot up a congressional baseball practice after being radicalized by partisan rhetoric? Which side regularly labels ICE agents “Nazis,” a term historically used to justify violence against them? Which side cheers assaults on political opponents as “punching Nazis” when the definition of “Nazi” seems to be “anyone who disagrees”? Which side shot Trump in the ear, nearly missing his brain stem? Then tried again on a golf course? Political violence is wrong—full stop. But pretending it’s some uniquely right-wing phenomenon while ignoring years of documented left-wing rioting, assaults, and intimidation isn’t principled. It’s willful blindness. If you want to criticize Trump or Republicans, fine. Plenty do, including people here. But rewriting recent history to paint one side as uniquely violent while memory-holing the other is exactly the kind of bad-faith argument you used to push back against. You can do better than that.
