Correct. I forwarded to our resident AFSOC Stolen Valor hunter and he is on the case. Thus far there is no record of Robert or Roberta.

This has so many red flags I am surprised some of you are not trying to date it.

A steady drip drip drip... America First Legal sued the National Archives and discovered there are more than 1,000 emails with Joe Biden’s office during his time as vice president and Hunter Biden's Investment firm. Hundreds remain hidden because of executive privilege asserted by the White House. As a reminder, executive privileged is employed when “Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.” But Biden never discussed business with his Hunter?...

The silence of the lambs...

So lets get back to the complete douche nozzle occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The National Archives which went to great lengths punish the Orange man sat on a FOIA request for 14 months since admitting they have nearly 5400 emails then Vice President sent using multiple pseudonym accounts (Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware), on government servers. 14 months after acknowledging they have the emails they have yet to produce a single email in violation of federal law.

Achievers are still out there. My kid is a junior in high school and wants to be a fighter pilot (god help me). I've taken his circle of friends camping a bunch and I always ask what they want to do when they grow up, through the years they have remained constant once they got off the NASCAR driver football player track. Two want to be military officers (one of those a military doctor), one a computer programmer (making games), one can already weld like a pro and he wants to be a heavy equipment operator, the last one wants to design rockets for SpaceX. Three play football and the others run cross country. Here is the really surprising part to me, my son is all AP and honors with a 4.43 GPA but there are 41 kids with higher GPA's above him out of 650+ in his year group. Have any of you looked at how hard it is to get into some Universities these days? Average GPA at some of the big Florida schools: U of Florida - 4.41, Florida State University - 4.07, UCF - 4.05, U of Miami 3.6 (unweighted). There are achievers in the next generation, don't believe the hype.

It's crazy, it started when a VERY right wing group called "Mom's for Liberty" went after the school board wanting 65 books banned and removed from public schools. I will admit a few of those books had VERY graphic sexual content and should not be in elementary and middle school public libraries. The Moms morphed that challenge into anything about LGBQT and race, then it morphed into removing it from the public libraries. I don't think they will be happy until the only book anyone can read is the bible.

My money would be on an associate unit at Langley or another popular location.

The age restriction has always been subjective and I think @pawnman captured it well, a single age for adulthood makes sense. That single age is not 25. More troubling is requiring a test to enjoy your rights afforded by the Constitution. How is a civics test requirement any different from requiring a test to enjoy your second amendment freedoms? Well it is a free country so good for you. Looking at data I would say it is fairly convincing that releasing trillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere has had an impact. Denying the problem is a very different value proposition than finding a pragmatic way of dealing with it that doesn't destroy our economy or country. Great discussion and on this point we are in violent agreement. I have never voted D in a Presidential election and while I don't want Trump in office ever again if it was a choice between him and anyone I currently see in the D party I would vote for him. My "hope" is that the Republicans move toward the middle once the primaries are over and they don't have to serve red meat to their base. The radical edges of both parties are extremely disturbing and yes the R's can be just as bad. Religious zealotry in particular has killed far too many people. I live in a very Red area with a lot of active and retired military. I am absolutely incredulous that one of the big stories in my county right now is book banning. There is a group of very religious and very extreme Republican woman that have started a crusade against books like the Scarlett Letter, as a result our public libraries are closed while the county works through the legal challenges.

Voter ID laws and paper ballots (which I support), have NOTHING to do with raising the voting age 7 years and requiring a civics test.

In general, I am in favor of keeping rather adding. Imposing two new hurdles to vote is simply radical.

Michigan airshow crash report suggests pilot, backseater out of sync on whether to eject The pilot of the Russian-made Fighter that crashed earlier this month during the Thunder over Michigan Airshow in Belleville was trying to land the plane while the backseater acknowledged to investigators he likely pulled the ejection handles for both of them, a preliminary investigation found. The report suggested that moments before the jet hit the ground during the Yankee's Air Museum annual event, the pilot and backseater — who were racing against the clock in a plummeting plane — had different views about what to do. F You Nav!

You are "probably" correct, but in these hyperbolic times I pay attention when a radical screams changes to the Constitution.

Voting rights are in the Constitution...adding a litmus test and 25 year age rule opens the door to doing the same with other rights. I guess you now support a test to own a gun, have free speech or invoke your rights against self-incrimination. This is a horrible and slippery slope to go down just because YOU are concerned about ignorant voters. I agree there is a problem likely related to taking civics classes out of schools but trying to legislate a test to vote is insanity as a person who swore to protect and defend the Constitution. Ahhh no...They take a test because they are NOT American's that why they take the test. Lucky or not, Americans by birth are immediately veiled in all the rights afforded by the Constitution. I see a problem as well as I have noted on numerous occasions...not the issue. The issue is he is a radical who is not calling to fix the institution, rather he wants to burn it down. You have to view radicals for what they SAY not what you think them mean.

Surprised yet not surprised at the support for Vivek, IMHO he is dangerous and radical! Have you guys actually read his policy proposals? 1. He wants to raise the voting age to 25 by AMENDING the Constitution and require a civics test to vote. As populist as that sounds cool...but Holy freaking suppression of voting rights. Have you ever noticed it is the radicals that want to amend the Constitution? 2. He wants to abolish the FBI. I am not a fan of the weaponsization of the FBI and while I support some serious retooling, but abolishing the FBI would have an astounding impact on the security of this nation. His plan is to redistribute those funds to the Secret Service and DIA...the absolute ignorance is astounding. 3. “Climate change is a hoax." Do you guys really believe that? We have dumped trillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere and it most certainly has had an impact. That being said I think we should drill and go back to being energy independent. If I were king for a day I would place a reasonable tax on energy sources derived from govt land and by law channel it ALL into a Manhattan like project to solve fusion or other cleaner energies. 4. On the debate stage Wednesday night, Ramaswamy said the United States “pays single women more not to have a man in the house than to have a man in the house, contributing to an epidemic of fatherlessness.” I agree with this statement, especially as it relates to minorities (67% of African American children are born into fatherless household). HOWEVER, what program would he cut...support to single moms? This has been tried many times and some key programs were cut under Clinton but the problem has only worsened because it is a social cultural issue. 5. I can support cutting the Dept of Education but his suggestion to cut the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is again pure ignorance. He thinks they are the obstacle to greater use of nuclear energy, it is actually the leadership appointed by politicians. They do serve a purpose. Finally, after commenting "now that all the rehearsed lines are out of the way" he started rolling out all of his own. If you think that was just extemporaneous replies I have some swamp land in Arizona to sell you. I thought Desantis did better and policy wise he is closest to what I would to see. He does have some issues that will hurt him, the 6 week abortion law in Florida is going to kick his ass with the folks int he middle. As a Floridian he has also failed to deal with the Homeowners insurance crisis here and it is starting to drag him down locally. I did not and will not watch the Trump debate, between him and Tucker I have had enough narcissistic bloviating for a lifetime.

For the record, TWO evil ones were promoted.

Credit to Obama for following through and ordering Neptune Spear, BTW Biden advised Obama not to conduct the UBL raid.

Commander in Chief....

If General Chang ran for Congress.

We are not "making" them fight, they choose to fight because well you know the Russians INVADED their country. I guess we should have forced them to roll over and surrender rather than defend their sovereignty.
