    Tracking the resemblance...just nothing popping up on the ol' googleizer as far as DEI or other toxic leadership controversies go.

    I've never been stationed there, just grew up there, and the old man hasn't sent me any local news reporting on it either...I'll wait and see if there's something over the next few days to bubbles up.

    Meme came form the Airman and NCO group which has been fairly good at sniffing things out early.

    The SEALs involved with this incident are simply disgusting.  The gunship was from my squadron the situation is still a sore point.  Rob Harrison, now a retired CMSgt, was the DSO on board Grim that night and he fought hard to get Chappy recognized.  Greta interview with Rob here.

  3. Was on a trip and didn't get to post but Thursday April 24th was the 45th anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw, the failed mission to rescue the American hostages in Iran.  The mission failure led to a Joint Chiefs of Staff commission to which was established to investigate the planning, organization, and execution of the Iranian hostage rescue mission.  This commission, known as the Special Operations Review Group            aimed to identify areas for improvement in future special operations. The mission's failure highlighted the need for better coordination, planning, and training, ultimately leading to the creation of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). 

    Much of the wreckage from the mission is sitting in the same place in the desert near Tabas Iran.

    Following the failure the survivors exfiled to Oman, when they landed they were greeted by cases of beer and a simple note from some British Civilians at the field.  The note is below and is in AFSOC HQ today.

  4. I don't agree with Trump on everything but it does appear he is trying to honor his core promises:

    Egg prices are down - granted this was not really a function of Trump, had a lot more to do with Bird Flu but prices have fallen dramatically as egg producing flocks have rebounded.Screenshot2025-04-25at8_43_25AM.thumb.png.988c6775afcde7e09178c1ccc5d80a57.png

    Oil prices have also fallen - there is likely a sweet spot it should remain and we are very close.Screenshot2025-04-25at8_43_17AM.thumb.png.bbd1404ae171b5ccd2830bd9aba5baba.png

    Border crossings are WAY down (95%)

    Inflation is easing and there is likely a lag as falling energy prices take a while to work through the system...next report will likely be very good.

    He definitely failed on his promise to end the Ukraine War in 24 hours.

    Interesting to see how the tariff issue is working out.  The market has snapped back this week, I didn't perfectly time the bottom but did reposition two weeks ago.

    This is a strange hill to die on.   That guy us is a lump of human excrement.  Why on Earth would anyone fight so hard to bring an illegal alien gang banger back into the U.S.? 

    Also, why do people tag swastikas on Teslas but support Palestine at the same time?  

    Why is LA covered in homeless people and burned homes.  

    Where did San Francisco's money go?

    Where did LA's money go?  

    Tards have ruined these once beautiful American cities. 

    They are going all in.

    A New Mexico Democratic judge has resigned after an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member was arrested while living at his home.

    I don't believe you.  A 5 unit, sure.  A residential 5 bedroom single house, nah.

    It was indeed units and a clear violation

    Pulte asserted that James obtained a “conforming loan through the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac” that was only available for properties with four units or less. Records also indicate that James has “consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications,” Pulte said.

  7. Letitia James is in deep crap...this is not some contrived first-ever interpretation of the law used to attack a political foe, this is real fraud...and it gets uglier as they peel back the onion....BLUF - She married her father?

    The big-ticket item was a property she told banks in 2023 was her primary residence, despite the fact that it was in Virginia and despite being a statewide public office holder in the state of New York at that same time and primarily residing in the state of New York,  Not only did she lie, she had some help from others in her office to make it seem legitimate.  In the document, James attested, “I hereby declare I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.” The document was witnessed by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy and a New York state secretary — and notarized.

    Not only did he falsely declare Virginia as her state of residence, on numerous documents she declared her father as her husband to meet the federal loan guarantees requirements.

    New footage has emerged of the largest of China’s two new tailless stealth fighters, widely referred to as the J-36, although the designation remains unconfirmed.

    Lots of guessing focused around our doctrine of airpower, often it is more useful to approach from the adversary's state of mind.  In many ways China holds the high ground in the Taiwan fight.  With the mainland just over 100 miles it is far easier for them to project airpower over the island.  Knowing we face the tyranny of distance problem, they are looking for ways to push us back as far as possible which is why they have developed things like the DF series of missiles.  AEW platform like the KJ-500 and the new KJ-700 further feed that doctrine.  

    I would not be surprised if the J-36 falls more into the category of a missile dump truck with VERY long legs.
