I am not a counterpoint to conservatism, but rather to Trump cheerleader squads. My point to ol B-Bus was that Trump ain't no saint either and has delightfully ended lots of careers, ie, "destroyed" people in govt for doing their jobs. But you read my shit as full blown killing. The right has plenty of bloody hands, from the recent killings of MN-D lawmakers to McVeigh. We can take turns and call out an eviler and their political leanings all day long. So I think we can both agree that all poli-flavors do it and it's wrong. As for Trump, I am disappointed in people and the Republican party for supporting, in my opinion, a dishonorable, draft dodging, lying, stealing, cheating, Epstein butt buddy pedo. You and others may continue your disappointment in me for that view. Stay Pissed. Cheers -
Too bad state law doesn’t stop federal law. But this is just a performance for the lemmings, we all know that. -
Virginia democrats have proposed a state level bill to prevent ICE from enforcing immigration law within 40 feet of a polling location. Man, I can’t imagine why you’d need to make that law since illegals can’t vote… -
Not that there are problems with our voting system. -
I was in New Zealand recently and on a whim, I managed to go out and fly a Pacific Aerospace CT/4 trainer. Fairly unknown in the US... I don't believe any are airworthy here. This one was the first of two prototypes, before it went into production in NZ. It was built in 1972. The pilot I flew with was one of the handful of former NZAF A-4K pilots (only 168 total), and is a pretty accomplished warbird pilot. We did some sightseeing, AHC, and light aerobatics. It was "different". Really enjoyed getting to fly a piece of NZ aviation history.

Federalizing elections is right the fuck out. Voter ID requirement should have happened forever ago. Voter rolls are fucked in several states (probably more than we know), so maybe a better fix is to amend the law to be more specific instead of using massively subjective language like “reasonable.” Fed takeover though is absolutely not the fix.

Cuba could turn into the economic powerhouse of the Caribbean. I went to school with a lot of friends that came over during the Mariel Boat Lift....they flooded our schools when it happened. I've talked to many of them over the past few weeks including some who HATE Trump but are cheering what he did in Venezuela and potentially Cuba. Every single one of them can retire in the next few years but all have vowed to go back for a few years to help rebuild. So much potential and people don't realize how big Cuba is (55% the size of Florida).
If the regime collapses, we need to be ready for the inevitable mass exodus, this article does not give much confidence that planning/preparation is underway, I’m more neutral as this scenario I’m sure has been at least researched/simulated but I’d prefer public statements that we are prepared/preparing https://www.forbes.com/sites/craighooper/2026/02/04/with-cuba-on-the-ropes-america-is-unready-for-massive-cuban-exodus/ Just my druthers I’d prefer a proposal to the communist regime for an orderly transition: Safe passage to the Russian Federation with compensation for high level, named government individuals or you can get a cell next to Maduro Amnesty for all other communist regime party and government officials following a truth and reconciliation process US commitment to a ten year economic support and aid program Demobilization of portions of the Cuban military and coordination for a US/Canadian/Spanish stabilization mission Formal processing center on the Cuban mainland for migrants seeking immediate release Diplomatic recognition simultaneously occurring with political & economic reforms, support tied to reasonable milestones. The expulsion of all non Western Hemisphere military, intelligence & non-state security threats/organizations personnel/equipment being the starting point

Yesterday I had received an email directly from the rated accessions training manager and told me that I would have an RNLTD of March and class start date of April at Laughlin. Nothing officially in my CDB but I was told I should get an assignment notification in by the end of the week. My last name also starts with an A, so alphabetical assignment uploads could be possible.
Iran gets some new toys.
But not surprising, considering Trump may be a lot of things, but a true politician is not one of them. And true politicians for the most part seem to get very little done.
The downside to a diesel is warming up the glow plug before firing
How many that vote for it would be able to explain even the most basic gun terminology? I'd love to hear them attempt to answer that interview question. A gun operating on gasoline does sound scary to me! And not very green!
It would be fucking wild if the first president in decades to take national defense seriously was a reality TV show host.
New Mexico's turn to go full retard. Just one of the gems in SB17 seeks to ban ALL gas operated semi-automatic guns.
