I can think of a few thousand very well appointed resort rooms and some very nice winter coats from dozens of overpriced ski shops that could be provided to those migrants free of charge! That might mitigate those cold temps if the left was actually serious about helping people. But we both know that would never happen. Their care for fellow humans extends precisely as far as the "coexist" bumper stickers and "hate has no place here" lawn signs.. and not an inch farther. Their nimby-ism is on full display when they cry 'logistics' over 50 people in Martha's Vineyard or even the possibility of a few migrants in aspen while conveniently ignoring the absolute shitshow they've forced on del rio for literal years. Out of sight out of mind I guess. Oh wait! and when they do pay attention to the border they publish literally false stories slandering border patrol for supposedly "whipping" migrants from horseback based on a single misleading photo. I have zero sympathy for the flaming hypocrisy of the left on the immigration issue. They've been using these immigrants as human pawns to bludgeon the right for decades while completely avoiding any consequences for their virtue signaling sanctuary city and amnesty policies.

Ah, so that's where the left draws the line. Cramming under a bridge in Del Rio, dying in the brutal heat of the desert, being taken advantage of by human traffickers and drug lords; all that's okay, because hey, the people who make it might vote for my team some day! But being sent to some of the wealthiest areas of the country, "Thats inhumane!!!!!" More utterly ridiculous leftist hypocrisy.

Let’s finish that quote for this elected official, “We need to react quickly and do the right thing for these people, and get them the fuck out of our towns and into shitty areas where only people with dark skin live.” Clowns, every last one of them.

After 3 marriages it just becomes an expensive hobby.

We tried that. Democrats called Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy racist.

Pretty sure you owe beer for posting that ass-hat's name.

Or have a set of massive balls with the skillz to back it up.

Seems like a self described sanctuary city would provide…..sanctuary?

Map could come in handy for those moving soon.

Well, they do seem to have been invited up north... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_city#/media/File:Map_of_Sanctuary_Cities_and_Counties_in_the_United_States.svg SF says they welcome folks from other places (to join the homeless?) https://sfmayor.org/sanctuary-city Then there's DC: https://mayor.dc.gov/release/mayor-bowser-issues-statement-reaffirming-dc-sanctuary-city Or Chicago: https://www.chicago.gov/content/dam/city/depts/mayor/Office of New Americans/PDFs/SanctuaryCitiesFAQs.pdf You can use this guide to help your own Sanctuary City: https://www.afsc.org/blogs/media-uncovered/how-to-talk-about-sanctuary-cities

Sounds like the AF didn’t pay enough money to unlock the WB software.

And the ability of one aircraft to perform enough to be compatible? Seems like it’s still a performance envelope problem. Also that boom isn’t stiff it’s on a ing ratchet.

My god dude, you’re missing the forest for the trees here. The hypocrisy isn’t about shipping these people to Chicago vs Vail. The hypocrisy is you drew a moral line in the sand that shipping migrants to Vail Colorado is inhumane. If you feel that’s inhumane, then you need to be outside the White House protesting every single day about the utterly deplorable conditions these people are facing everywhere else on their journey. But you aren’t, and no on the left is, and that’s my entire point! That the left doesn’t actually GAF about these people. No one was “spurred to action” about any single thing involving immigration or migrants until they started showing up or threatened to be delivered to their little enclaves.

This is a good point. How many migrants got shipped to Martha’s Vineyard, 50? How many tens of thousands have likely passed through the border towns?

Del rio doesn't have the support services to deal with tens of thousands of migrants either. It's a town of barely over 30,000 itself. Same applies for Laredo, Eagle pass, El Paso etc. Lacking the facilities to deal with huge numbers of migrants isn't unique to Martha's Vineyard or Aspen. Shipping migrants to upscale liberal enclaves might be a political stunt, but it's also giving them a microscopic taste of the logistical shitshow border towns deal with on a daily basis.

If you’re looking for exciting flying.. maybe consider Alaska bush pilot or something like a Missionary pilot in Africa. I see job postings for the latter very so often. Flying a Caravan or Porter in sub-Saharan Africa is just like flying a Herk, just a different set of customers.

Boom envelope is fine. Boeing ed up a perfectly good, even if archaic, Douglas design and the boom is too stiff (doesn’t extend or retract easily which makes it hard for the A-10 to push in). Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Liberal Enclaves Panic Over Possibility of Migrants Arriving on their Doorstep https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/10/11/liberal-enclaves-panic-over-possibility-of-migrants-arriving-on-their-doorstep/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slides were in Times New Roman and not Calibri so it was destined for success.

I was curious about that. How could that be the case with the A-10? Isn’t the receptacle standardized (STS) across the fleet? Therefore if it works on a F-16 or B-1, why wouldn’t it work on A-10?

They don't know. Some are looking into different units. All of the airframes have the passenger windows on them just covered up, the boom is more like the KC-135 boom (KC-46 boom is more like the KC-10). Some of the Japanese pilots i've talked to say that they can't offload as much fuel as the 46 for weight reasons I think. The integrated mission systems on the 46 are another difference.

I think the only administration that did worse than Biden's was the British Monarchy.

No surprise there, openly choosing to lie to push a narrative. I’d bet if you did a poll of leftist folks in this country, many would still believe the people at the border were getting whipped. This continues to be the worst administration this country has seen in a long time, maybe ever? Whether through incompetence, deceit, or a combination of both, it’s incredible how absolutely terrible they are at all levels and in every facet.

So in one post you give information regarding oil production/refinery capabilities, and also say that it has to do with business decisions and not politics. But then I ask you if laws and/or rules/regulations affect business decisions and you say you don’t know because you’re not an oil expert. Ummm, ok. Good talk!

I still fail to understand the mandate outrage from military members. The military can literally order you on an ALR-extreme suicide mission in some bullshit war halfway around the world. Of course they don't have your best interests at heart. The military can mandate things about your fitness, alcohol consumption, drug use, grooming standards, and they can even put you in jail for things that are perfectly legal in the civilian world. And you signed up for it. No one made you. So if they need you to be vaxxed so the rotator doesnt get held up by a customs shitshow at your deployed location.. tough cookies. Do I think the mandates did anything? No. Do I trust the government or big pharma? Also No. Do I think the vaccine risks are zero? Also no. But the military mandated it for a multitude of reasons, some bad and some less bad. And in the grand scheme of things a 84% increase in a 0.01% chance of maybe getting myocarditis doesn't even register on the scale of things that are actual health dangers. Id believe the "my body is a temple" argument a lot more if it weren't for the bro-science pre-workout powder, twice-a-year cardio regimen, 7 shots at roll call, 3 monsters, and a pack of zyns per day. Because I promise all of those things are far worse for your heart.

SF deserves this. Perhaps, instead of enjoying the Blue Angels, they can enjoy staring at the formations of homeless people shitting on the sidewalks. I think it's funny how that place is literally turning into a pile of dung.

shhhhhhhh. If you keep posting facts, people will notice the 12,xxx numbers that started as 9,xxx numbers during Trump's term. edit: I identify as a someone who never voted for trump

The concept of Reddit is really compelling, and I'm told that in the old days (pre-2010 or thereabouts), it really was a glorious place with a free exchange of ideas. There are still some interesting corners (the Air Force subreddit is entertaining). MilitaryStories is another one. If you have some obscure, niche interest, chances are there is a subreddit for it. But when it comes to politics, or really anything related to current events, Reddit is a left/progressive echo chamber. If you aren't posting the "approved" opinions, then don't even bother. You'll just be downvoted to hell, or just have your stuff deleted. To add, Reddit is yet another social media site where it's not clear how they make their money (the advertising is minimal, they do have some "paid" user options, but those aren't very widely used). When it comes to social media, if you can't figure out what the product is, then the product is you. So, one wonders what exactly Reddit does with all the user data it vacuums up.

I was at a school board meeting where a black conservative spoke; some Woke white woman said, “that’s racist.” I shouted out, “I thought black people couldn’t be racist?!” Half the room clapped and cheered, the other half imploded and nailed the “toddler tantrum” vibe. Its like you can almost see the wires in their brain short circuiting and start to smoke. It was hilarious.

have you considered swindling other young conservative christian men? I hear it's pretty lucrative...

I know exactly what my service entails. America is bigger than a president, political party, or vaccine. Some people participate and actively work hard to make the military and their country better. Other people quit, have a victim complex, and cry about it from the sidelines.

Are you serious? Jesus is sick of your bullshit.

New National Security strategy Less than a paragraph on great power competition, China, and Russia. Most of it talks about “domestic extremism”, white nationalism, the Jan 6 “attacks”, diversity and inclusion. Even some Climate Change sprinkled in.
