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.

Congrats...great accomplishment!

The DNC is has self-immolated. With party stalwarts like James Carville saying Democrats' 'top agenda ' needs to be bringing back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Seriously?

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.

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.

NIL is destroying college sports.

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.

It's true...AMF. Dude is a complete douche canoe and a disciple of Cat 5.

It came straight form the mouth of the then AFSOC Commander who was by trade a Pavelow guy. Why do folks think this can't be used in the big fight against China? I can think of 69 missions it can do in that fight. During the recent Special Air Warfare Symposium the current AFSOC Commander mentioned putting Small Cruise Missiles on them. Pop up out of a dirt strip on an off axis and dramatically complicate the calculus of the Chinese. Also, the Taiwan scenario will include operations on the periphery that will have a big impact on the fight. There are 10,000+ little islands between the PI, Indonesia and Vietnam...

Still up form the low...lost about 33% of yesterday's gain. Buying the dips...I had a lot of cash sitting on the sidelines.

And after today?

UFB!

Not sure I agree...while expired tags and non-working tail lights are often used by bad cops to justify pretextual stops, if you didn't pay for your registration what are the odds you don't have insurance either. I do not agree on parking with a caveat, at an expired meter...absolutely. But in my hood I see soccer mom's park in the fire lane of the SmallMart and run inside to grab an item or two. I also see the same thing with handicapped parking...didn't get to worked up about that until a few months ago when I saw a double amputee trying to get out of his van in a normal parking space when all the handicapped spots were full. In one of the parking spots was my buds wife...he is a 100% SDV and can barely walk, but he wasn't in the car, she used his car to run errands and used his handicapped plate out of convenience to park in a spot.

Instead of giving heavy deployers more time with their families I think ACC should use that day for full Class A open ranks inspections...with demerits.

Learned to fly when I was 16, IP was a Korean War vet who flew Panthers and insisted that was the only way to fly with a map. I found it easier to know where I was, quick look at the map to know where north was, didn't have to calculate backwards off the course or look for a floating N...old habits die hard.

It's legit. Hey acting SECAF, tell me your were a douche bag missileer who never deployed and never felt the impact on families without telling me.

Understood, but many of the accidents you cited were with Captain's trained the way I was. I know you tried on the survey, would have been great if some other age groups responded. I do feel comfortable punching the system off and have felt the negative impacts of automation. Two years ago I picked my plane up after an inspection that required they pull the battery. I have a custom profile I can select and going through my checklist I thought all was well. As I taxied out I had my map zoomed in (Cirrus has a great safe taxi system). The weather was crappy and I filed IFR with the intent of staying low and VMC to fly the 40 miles back to my home airport. Unfortunately the airspace was saturated and the controlled had me climb to transition over KPNS. In doing so I went IMC and when I zoomed my map out my gyros nearly tumbled...disconnecting the battery reset all the presets and my map was course up...I have ALWAYS flown North up. I had to force myself not to look at the MFD and stayed glued to the PFD while I "caught up". I was on vectors so once I leveled off I had enough brain stem to start searching the menus to switch to north up. There were 10 other settings (ABSA traffic, Weather, Glide Ring, Trend Line...etc), I prefer but I focus on two or three then set up the approach. I am a prolific texter...mainly because I don't like people and texting means I don't have to talk to them. My son and I text all day and share reels from Instagram (sports and flying), with each other through the app.

On numerous occasions I've seen cops in my neighborhood turn their lights on when a car coming the other way was speeding, then turn their lights off and continue when the speeder slows down. Officers always have discretion and examples like you have above can be effective. However, to blatantly state as a policy that the police will not pull people over for minor violations is a license to commit minor violations.

I am reading through it. Let me lead with - great topic to research...as a long time military pilot who is now in GA I find the automation has great benefit but also has pitfalls that must we need to be aware of. Perhaps based on my age and experience level but If I were questioning you during your defense I found a theme you need to address...age Demographic. Maybe it doesn't matter because folks in my age group will time out (of airline flying), over the next 10 years but our initial training was different and had you compared our performance and opinions versus the younger generation it might have helped prove your hypothesis. I cut your respondents demographic right out of your paper...ALL of your respondents are between 25-44 which is a very specific generational group that has likely exposed to newer forms of automation since they first played a video game. Interestingly some of the accidents you cite happened with aircrew that are not in the age demographic you measured. Age of Research Participant Responses Percentage of Responses 18-24 0 out of 14 0% 25-34 4 out of 14 29% 35-44 10 out of 14 71% 45-54 0 out of 14 0% 55-64 0 out of 14 0% 65 or older 0 out of 14 0% Case in point, I flew T-37's and T-38's in UPT...both had steam gauges. I also flew the AC-130H, again with steam gauges. In the AC-130H in we did not get a moving map until many years after I joined the unit and it forced me to build an SA picture in my brain bucket. As I moved into GA and the absolute saturation of data offered by automation it took me a while to develop a new flow, but once I did I was far ahead of my much younger CFI doing my Cirrus training. Also, when the automation has driven me into what I consider a corner...I have ZERO problem or delay in punching the system off and hand-flying the airplane. Case in point, the Perspective Plus in the SR-22 has an issue with VNAV on some approaches depending on where you commence the approach and when you actually select approach mode. On several occasions I have simply disconnected the autopilot and flown the needles rather than fight the automation. Is that a function of my training in the Cirrus...or my initial training as a pilot?
