  1. Copy suspended for ONE DAY for a false DUI arrest AND for stealing the dudes Macbook. He is fighting the lawsuit claiming "sovereign Immunity." Guessing he means Qualified Immunity which is a legal precedent that needs to change in our country.
  2. Nah, production is still delayed as the finish out the order of free Obama Phones.
  3. A place to post the wonderful policies and stories from the failed state of California. We could start with excrement in the streets of San Francisco, the annual deficit of $18B projected to grow to $35B (gotta pay for those illegals), residents fleeing this failed state, 45% of the nation's homeless, robbery rate is 124% higher than the national average, with significantly higher rates of arson (77%), motor vehicle theft (77%), and burglary (51%), highest taxes in the nation, 2.3 of all students failing basic math standards....but lets start with something simple...government malfeasance and failure around the green scam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBE6KyXroeI
  4. So rich considering the Democrats are running a dude who purposely sports a Nazi tattoo... The loons on the left are so wacko Senator Elizabeth Warren has not only strongly endorsed him, she has professed he is "the real deal" and the "fighter we need".

    Out of town but will measure a few when I get home, thanks! Great idea, thank you.
  6. Having been to all the DOW PME and a stint at the Harvard Fellowship I have seen a lot of different techniques for evaluating adversary intentions and motivations. When it comes to China I am a fan of NOT thinking like an American. Yes we can read On War and The Art of War but I prefer to place myself in their shoes and contemplate motivations. China is a unique case and this is how I describe it to others. Imagine there was another Civil War in America...We the winners, fought the "bad" guys all the way across the country to California where they jumped in boats and went to Hawaii where they took over. We didn't have the ships to take it back....would there be ANY doubt that Hawaii is ours? And if a peer adversary stepped in to support the people that took Hawaii how would we view it? That is exactly what happened with Taiwan. So all of that to say, yes, war IS THE PLAN, and they believe they are fully justified in doing so. Getting over 60% of the world's semiconductors and over 90% of the most advanced chips is just icing on the cake.
  7. A "way" or a war? Worst kept secret out there. The U.S. Intelligence apparatus has been saying 2027 for a long time and a lot of funding decisions support that date. Increasing delivery of B-21, LRIP of F-47, 28,000 low-cost cruise missiles in the latest POM. If you look at it holistically China will achieve peak power in 2027 and start to rapidly decline thereafter. Economy, demographic and a host of other factors fully drag them down. You should go look at the demographics....they are paying a HUGE price for the one child policy which has now been cancelled.
  8. Xi Jinping continues to wreak havoc among his senior inner circle....some reports say he no longer has a circle and acts in an echo chamber of his own thoughts. China’s powerful Central Military Commission, which previously had 11 members, now has only one member besides Xi himself, according to reports. China Sentences Ex-Defense Ministers to Death over Graft Charges "According to a February report by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, at least 36 generals and lieutenant generals have been officially purged since 2022, while another 65 officers are listed as missing or potentially under investigation."

    No, it was brand new ammo that I actually purchased from CMP when I picked it up. My buddy is a Garand expert...more of a savant. We flew my plane to Anniston when he found out they were releasing a rare lot, brought his serial number manual with him, one glance at the book and he can recite the providence of each gun. Anyway, he helped me pick it out then he took it to his shop and completely disassembled it to remove all the cosmoline and other grease, checked the springs and fit and ran the gun through for a week. He is a little baffled as well, he took the gun back and went through it again and found nothing wrong. I've (I should say my son has), put over 200 rounds of that same ammo through without an issue. While the ammo was new he does think it could have been a bad round. Glad it didn't happen as I was charging over a hill to shoot Nazis at Normandy 😜.

    Yeah none of those Air Forces guys...
  11. Lots of litigation on this before it was even filed and Big Tech has lost at every turn. In short, Meta is faced with a $16B Class Action Lawsuit for allowing all the Fake/Scam/Predatory ads on Facebook and Instagram. In the long run it could change the platforms. Class Action Alleges Meta Earns $16 Billion Annually From Scam Ads It Refuses to Remove
  12. There are no words for what they did and how they tried to cover it up. They PROMOTED the officer that did this, let the captain who ordered the tapes destroyed to retire and FIRED the officer who reported this event.
  13. Let me Google that for you.
  14. Don't get it? Miami lost in the Natty...damn good run they can be proud of. Indiana winning and burning crap in the parking lot on the other hand...
