I know right! Kinda of like removing all historic statues and changing the name of bases.

Gatornation is melting down...

Things happen all over the world every night, sometimes they come to light. US special forces killed North Korean civilians in botched 2019 mission, NYT says

News reports indicate that officials within the Trump-era Department of Justice are considering proposals to potentially restrict transgender individuals from owning firearms!

Renewed my FAA medical two weeks ago. The AME reviewed my intake documents and said...."hair color brown....still sticking with that huh...." Ouch!

For both of us....what a great couple of games. Love watching you guy crush Bama...and the way their fans melted down... epic!

F-35 pilot held 50-minute airborne conference call with engineers before fighter jet crashed in Alaska "An Air Force investigation blamed the crash on ice in the hydraulic lines in the nose and main landing gears of the F-35, which prevented them from deploying properly." "At that point, the F-35’s sensors indicated it was on the ground and the jet’s computer systems transitioned to “automated ground-operation mode,” the report said." "This caused the fighter jet to become “uncontrollable” because it was “operat(ing) as though it was on the ground when flying,” forcing the pilot to eject." Thanks HAL!

Another gem. Dude is deaf, the police KNOW he is deaf but beat the F@ck out of him for "not listening." They mock him and his hearing aides, then charge him with resisting with violence. He bails out immediately which angers the cops so the add another charge of assault on a police officer which revokes his bail. Dude spends 58 days in jail with no bond.

Here is a good synopsis.

If crapping in the streets of San Francisco, rampant crime and extreme taxes were not enough to show you what a mess California is...look at Sheetz v. County of El Dorado. In short - a gentleman purchased a piece of land and wanted to build an 1800' home. The City of El Dorado approved the build but dropped a $23,000 "Traffic" impact fee on him. He fought it all the way to the Supreme Court which rules unanimously in his favor. The California Appeals Court has decided the Supreme Court does not apply to them and reaffirmed their original ruling.

"Hogging" the inside of a unattended hat was a big practical joke in AFSOC...same in the CAF?

When I was a DO the CC had a spare hat to leave on his desk so people would think he was in the building.

Hegseth fires general whose agency's intel assessment of damage from Iran strikes angered Trump

Sadly, propane. The natural gas comes in on the other side of the house. With the shape of the house, pool and screen enclosure I had to put the outdoor kitchen on the exact opposite corner of the house. My house is fairly large and they wanted $2,000 to run a gas line to the opposite side of the house. Also, the Ooni...man it makes a great pie. I have an iron skillet with the grip cut off that I use to cook steaks. Get it up to 900 degrees and slide the skillet in on top of the stone...Ruth's Chris style.

Next to my grill in the pic is my Ooni pizza oven. Love it, also great to fast sear steaks.

I went with the Cal Flame G Series for my outdoor kitchen (highly recommend). Have the Ooni and Blackstone set up as well.

What other carve outs are there? Is it a sliding scale of citizenship, I think I missed that part in the Constitution? So if you have a job you get your 15th amendment. You need to make $25K to get your 1st and 2nd...you don't get the 4th until you make $100K?

God forbid you ever fall on hard times and lose a job...seriously we need to move this answer to the WTF thread.

And that WIC is done...Not sure when they will crank up for the EX.

I believe it is a bit more nuanced. Summarize it this way, believe what you want but obey the law. If in a position of authority or command and you openly express that tripe advocating to discriminate...you should be removed. Our system is not perfect and obviously hard to say what is in their heart. We had a pilot in the gunship community who was a devout Mormon. He made a big deal about flying with women a few times in training and they body checked him. He refused to fly with a female co-pilot in combat so he got sent home and was removed from the community with an LOR. Big Blue USAF of course kept him and sent him to be a UPT IP (I am sure the women that flew with him loved that).

The great thing about our country, we all get to disagree and still be friends. Also, we all get a voice....well unless as you believe you are poor and don't pay taxes. As far as women versus men in combat roles...two of the three best IPs I ever flew with were women and could fly circles around a lot of men. I prefer to have a standard rather than a gender test.
