  1. You mean shit like this? ‘Republicans for Harris’ launch features key names, impressive numbers According to a press statement from the incumbent vice president’s campaign, Republicans for Harris includes endorsements from former Trump White House officials Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye; former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood; former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman; former U.S. House members Rod Chandler, Tom Coleman, Dave Emery, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim Greenwood, Adam Kinzinger, John LeBoutillier, Susan Molinari, Jack Quinn, Denver Riggleman, Claudine Schneider, Christopher Shays, Peter Smith, Alan Steelman, David Trott, and Joe Walsh; and former GOP State Chair and State Senator Chris Vance, among others. Of course, Adam Kinzinger is in that bunch! 😡😡 Speaking of which, I've just noticed @Homestar has been noticeable absent from here since March 2023! On 1 Feb 21, he famously posted "I hope Adam Kinzinger is still reading this forum. He is the future of the Republican Party. If he and Dan Crenshaw could combine forces we could actually return to real conservative leadership." and "Maybe we could get a Crenshaw-Kinzinger ticket in 2024?" His last post was... "There are times where I think that there's no way that our country would find itself back in a place where brothers are killing brothers on a battle field. But then I read threads here and am reminded that there are absolutely people here who wouldn't hesitate to shoot me dead if we ever get into a shooting war against ourselves."
  2. Any truth to this?

    Fifty years ago today, 29 Jul 1974, Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger (pictured) issued a program decision memorandum directing the Air Force to consolidate all military airlift forces under a single manager by the end of fiscal year 1977. The Air Force answered the charge by announcing, one month later, that the Military Airlift Command (MAC) would be providing airlift services to all branches. This was partly made possible by folding all of Tactical Airlift Command’s tactical airlift assets (comprised mainly of C-130s) into MAC, which prior to this date had only managed the Air Force’s strategic airlift assets. The goal, as Air Force Chief of Staff Gen David C. Jones described it, was to “achieve better integration of overall airlift” by consolidating “strategic and tactical airlift assets” into one command; in the process, it made MAC the world’s largest single airlift organization.

  4. They forgot this, the most racist song ever, the Ice Cream song!! I was going to post a video about it, but on second thought I decided that wouldn't be the best idea. Anyone interested and possessing the most basic GoogleFu skills will be able to find out what I am referring to. NPR even did an article about it back in 2014...

  6. Pentagon to review 20 Medals of Honor from Wounded Knee Massacre The wokeness... “It’s never too late to do what’s right,” an unnamed senior defense official said in a statement Wednesday. “And that’s what is intended by the review that the secretary directed, which is to ensure that we go back and review each of these medals in a rigorous and individualized manner.” Of course, actions from the last two decades which may merit the Medal of Honor don't rate such time critical attention by the Pentagon! 😡😡😡 Such as... Sergeant Rafael Peralta While clearing houses in the second battle for Fallujah (Operation Phantom Fury) Sgt Peralta was shot by insurgents and was severely wounded. In the ensuing firefight a grenade was thrown into the room with Peralta and his Marines. Sgt Peralta pulled the grenade under him to absorb the grenade blast and was killed instantly. Sgt Peralta was nominated for the Medal of Honor by Lt Gen Natonski based on the reports. The nomination was later denied under review when some reviewers (who were not at the incident) believed Peralta was already clinically dead when the grenade was thrown. The award was downgraded to a Navy Cross. Multiple requests for a reconsideration were denied and after years of denials, Peralta’s family received his Navy Cross.
  7. MSN took it down, but I found the updated article and added its link... https://www.rd.com/list/popular-songs-you-didnt-realize-are-racist/ Why, by the way, includes "why Black History Month shouldn’t be a single month!".

  9. USS Eisenhower pilot became the first American woman to score air-to-air kill A female Naval aviator with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 32 became the first woman in the U.S. military to score an air-to-air victory in combat. The aviator, who the Navy has not named, shot down a one-way attack drone fired by Houthi forces against commercial ships passing through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, using an F/A-18F Super Hornet. “The success of the entire squadron over the past nine months is a testament to all the members of the command and their friends and family at home that support them,” Cmdr. Jason Hoch, leader of the squadron, said in a Navy release. “I couldn’t be prouder of the Swordsmen’s performance day-in and day-out in incredibly demanding conditions. We proved over and over again that the flexibility a carrier strike group brings to the fight is unmatched, and that is solely due to the highly trained and motivated Sailors who go above and beyond the call of duty each and every day.” Rut-roh! Did he say "SwordsMEN?!?" 🫢🫢🫢 By the way, it's been done...back in 1942! Lydia Litvyak - Wikipedia
  10. More ridiculousness, and I am surprised no one ever created an account on here using that name... Disney changes name of 'offensive' character after 50 years Disney has changed the name of one of its decades-old characters after being deemed "offensive" and "derogatory." Following a seven-month refurbishment at Disney World, 'Liver Lips McGrowl' did not make a return on the Country Bear Jamboree attraction. "The decision to remove Liver Lips McGrowl was driven by concerns over the character’s name," they wrote in a statement. 'Liver lips' is said to be associated with excessive alcohol consumption, leading to liver damage. Here's to Liver Lips!! 🍻🍻

    I can't fathom why everyone hates AOC! I think she's very friendly with Taylor Swift!
  12. Well, no shit! Prolific insight from everyone's favorite barista!

    Sounds like him... "I fired one round at it," he said in the footage. "They say I hit it so I must be a good shot, or else it's not that far away ... I'm going to wind up having to find a real good defense lawyer."
  17. I bet Gavin Newsom is smiling like the cocksucker he is right now!

    This should be an interesting (and most likely very quiet) weekend in Aggieland! 🤣🤣
