Mark Twain is quoted " There are statistics and there are damn lies"

Negat0ry is being moderated UFN. In the last 6 months he’s pretty much only posted on this and the Iran page, clearly with the main goal of trying to piss people off. And for when someone posts “that’s only because he doesn’t like Trump”, notice how disgruntled is still able to post (just one example). Let this be a message for all: Have something positive to offer the page, not just I love or hate Trump. If someone disagrees, they can send a PM to one of the mods.

I will happily email my app to anyone after results too. Information sharing is a good thing regardless of the outcome. 1st Lt Evaluator Pilot 2 x annual awards (2024 JrCgO and 2025 IP) 96 PCSM 86 AFOQT pilot PPL DG OTS and DG IQT Safety Officer and current Chief of Sq Safety 98 PT score I was fortunate to get a Letter of Rec from a great mentor of mine and worked hard on my personal letter. Biggest things was to make sure the application does not have redundant information.

I will also find out while I’m deployed too. So could end being a really good deployment.

My Wing finished strats already. 10 people applied in my wing. I don’t know where I stood, but my CC told me I did very well at the Wing. He is waiting to tell me the Strat. I felt good when I applied. I think it was the best I could offer. Good luck to everyone

Negatory As Brabus and Lloyd said we don’t owe you an argument. Most on here who claim to be, or lean conservative sound like they aren’t too happy with either party. I’d love to go back to a much much smaller government but neither party is willing to move in that direction at all. I don’t believe the government’s role is to do everything for us (food stamps, welfare, schooling, jobs, hold our hand, etc). But, I also don’t want to go back to 1600-1700s and prior where the majority of people around the world lived in abject poverty and were days away from dying all the time. We are better off than we’ve ever been (certainly in the West anyway) and yet we still demand more from those who are willing to work and less from those who aren’t. Here’s a start, off top of my head, to your desired knowledge on my beliefs for rules/policies/guides. 1 A turn back to more personal responsibility and obligation and away from the selfish “you owe me” thinking would be a good first move. 2 A concerted effort to completely squash all identity bs across the board. Encourage normalcy and don’t champion fringe identities (e.g. trannies, pedos, drugs, anti-social behavior). Protect individual rights, but don’t encourage (overtly or covertly) behavior that is antithetical to human flourishing and traditional family formation. 3 Strong law and order culture (from the top down to man on the street). But also hold police and authority figures to the same standards. Full weight of law against those who abuse their power (no cya for authority figures). 4 End all immigration (incredibly rare one-offs if absolutely necessary) for 10 years minimum. Deport all illegals and fine (confiscate all wealth) from those who don’t self deport. Root out those who are here legally but aren’t integrating (looking at you MN, MI, maybe others) and denaturalize and boot them out (tough to identify all, but the most obvious is criminals). Offer guidance and assist local communities with integration. Information only (not a bunch of funding for more bureaucratic bs programs). 5 End all government assistance to those who apply to immigrate. Make them prove self sufficiency like most other countries require. 6 End birthright citizenship except for current legal citizens. Just because you snuck in, or are even legally visiting our nation, doesn’t make your kids citizens. No dual citizenship ever. 7 Stop all foreign aid to countries who’s governments don’t align with traditional American values (rights, policies, etc). We might still have trade relationships with all nations (with some stipulations as necessary) but no foreign aid. 8 Roll out Dodge 2.0 on steroids and actually follow through with gutting most federal programs. Make every department justify every dime they spend, including funding required to justify their budget. It’s astounding the amount of waste in our 7 to 8 fricken trillion dollar (and still increasing every year) budget. That’s a start. Poke holes all you want.

Engaging with you (and some others) is a waste of time (and here I am…), simply because you are effectively what you just accused “everyone else” of being. The opposite of what you claimed is pretty apparent here - you have a lot of conservatives who are not happy about some things the admin does or says, are happy about some of the things the admin does/says, and recognize that current state of the main stream dem party is alarmingly bad if you give a shit at all about the founding principles and morals of this country. I know it sucks to hear a “well it’s the best of two meh options,” but unfortunately that’s where we’re at for a lot of the country currently. So instead of being a condescending, self righteous douche on the internet, can you please put your effort into unfucking the dem party and candidates at least at your local level? What do I define as “unfucking? - candidates and platforms that align with American values and an America first agenda (and I don’t mean that to be Trump’s slogan, just in general) - care about our country and citizens first before you care about others. We should simply have a different opinion on how to achieve that with things like healthcare, insurance, housing, etc. We should be debating policy differences to achieve a more or less shared goal, not be after significantly different desired end states (e.g. ram socialism/communism down people’s throats vs. at least attempt to maintain our constitutional republic). Personally I think the only viable solution is a 3rd party - kick the socialists/far left out of the dems and make them be their own party. They can still peddle their bullshit all they want, but at least the Dems can get back to the 90s/early 2000s (which surprise, would actually align with some of Trump’s policies, because he’s not far right/ultra conservative in the slightest; he and 69% of the country appear that way only because of how insanely far left the dem party has been hijacked in the last 15 years).

Most of us are simply sick of this thread. Your post is exactly why. You’re literally begging to have someone to argue with. It’s pathetic. Head over to reddit. They’ll engage with you. You can get your feels there.

So afraid. This forum is disproportionately “conservatives,” - read populists - and it’s telling how no one is engaging here. You guys may be in a cult if you can’t explain yourself more than that. It’s a more socially acceptable cult - one in which you get to have cookouts with your white friends and go to church and feel like you’re normal - but it’s fundamentally a group where you avoid critical discussion or introspection to avoid being socially outcast. It would be hilarious if you were a self governing commune, but you’re fuc*ing up the country. You guys talk condescendingly on here about how people won’t debate beliefs, but then when they do you can’t talk about what principles specifically you care about. Your literal only response is a fallacy: “Dems would be worse.” It’s the 5 year old putting his fingers in his ears. You guys don’t even introspect and try to make the R candidate better. Because “Dems would be worse.” Results in your position boiling down to “Welp, yeah. I don’t like the admin making billions in office and starting another forever war that’s just like Russia Ukraine and covering up and lying about the Epstein files and increasing the deficit and exploding the debt even though they’ve promised to decrease it and increasing inflation and doing nothing to make the middle class better and lying constantly on social media and saying that the first and fourteenth amendments should be suspended and trying to force folks off the air and keeps saying they will run for a third term. But obviously the dems would have covered up the Epstein Files more and made more cryptocurrencies in office and tripled inflation way more and definitely would have started 5 forever wars and they would force my labradoodle to get a sex change 😱 and they would install Obama again. Even though all historical data discounts this.” Your position is, ironically, one that is created purely due to fear. Name your core beliefs that make Talarico a worse candidate than Paxton. Name your principles that invalidate Mark Kelly as the president. Compare it to the retards you would select. Explain why Thomas Massie was a bad conservative.

I’d love to have a better alternative. The democrats aren’t coming through with one that’s for sure

Of all teams to be throwing shade...FSU trying to troll UF....the irony is thick. Of course a Miami fan had to jump in as well. What a great time of the year.

In addition to all of this: I believe the administration has continued to accelerate the national debt at an unprecedented and unsustainable rate. I believe the administration is taking government ownership of private companies while simultaneously condemning socialism. I believe the administration is abusing executive authority in a manner that is inconsistent with limited government and will undoubtedly lead to abuse during the next Democratic administration. I believe the administration is undermining legitimate conservative candidates to support uncompetitive MAGA loyalists. I believe this administration undermines election integrity at every opportunity. I could go all day. The bottom line is this administration is populist but is in no way conservative, and the chickens are coming home to roost. T

Whose policy was that again? Inflation is a bitch isn’t it?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2021/01/04/bidens-final-pitch-to-georgia-vote-blue-and-2000-checks-will-go-out-the-door-immediately/ I'll just leave this here. Inflation is a bitch isn't it?

the issues are quite clear but if you really need me to spell it out for you; -I believe that tariffs without corresponding domestic manufacturing initiatives are self sabotage. -I believe that we are engaging in a Middle Eastern intervention for Israel that is not in the American interest. -I believe that our military intervention for Israel has achieved none of its stated goals. -I believe that support for this war has dropped to historically low levels because of the incoherent messaging and strategy from this administration. -I believe that Americans feel betrayed by Trump based upon the fact that he ran on no new wars, and then immediately launched a new war. -the president is promising money for votes -Republicans refuse to condemn any of this.

It’s almost like he isn’t a conservative. Who would have thought? Hilarious that 30% of the country has gotten clowned for 10 years.

😂

It would be awesome if guys on here wanted to talk about where they stand on specific issues and why, but that would then require people to actually share their values/take a stand on what they believe.

Or if we as Americans held politicians that did illegal or unethical things to account (on the dem side that would include people such as Pelosi and Clinton), maybe we’d be in a better spot. It certainly is a choice to throw our hands up in the air and say “everyone does the bad things, so therefore nothing is bad because I can’t say my side is bad.”

100% And all the little LSU lemmings are crying like little bitches. Soon enough he will leave them hanging when he bails to Alabama, burning yet another program to the ground. I've never cared for LSU but Kiffin is just a bad human, they deserve each other. They are reporting kicking them out of the SEC is off the table but the majority want Kiffin suspended.

I posted elsewhere about it. I’m pretty sure he was talking out of his posterior as usual since buying votes is obviously illegal. If we posted every time one of our politicians said something stupid we’d be on here all day every day.

I commend you on your consistency but they’re really not the same thing. One is a real policy prescription, albeit misguided, to address a problem in the country. It also stems from the genuine belief that ‘healthcare is a human right’ (FWIW I disagree.. it’s a commodity/service,) but it’s pretty obviously different from a naked buying-votes scheme. Literally just offering money if they win is cartoonish levels of anti-american villainy. I’m not worried because 99.9% of what Trump says is complete and utter bullshit that will never materialize, but it’s funny that other than you it’s crickets in here. We both know if a dem proposed anything like this the thread would light up like the 4th of July.

Or you can be against it all…oh and promising/voting for welfare is also buying votes.
