I was offended....LOL. I knew what you were saying brother.

So it was most likely wasn't terror, but still extremely fucked up. Brooks had left the scene of the domestic disturbance before officers arrived, and he was not being chased by police at the time of the crash, according to the chief. Police were drawing up five charges of intentional homicide against Brooks, 39, of Milwaukee, Thompson said. He has been charged with crimes 16 times since 1999 and had two outstanding cases against him at the time of the parade disaster — including one in which he was accused of deliberately running down a woman with his vehicle.

Absolute carnage at the holiday parade. Kind of crazy that in this day and age we have to speculate a terror attack, revenge for the Rittenhouse verdict or a horrible DUI.

Not Guilty on all counts. I guess you can defend yourself when someone is beating you in the head with a skateboard.

I bet there is a mad scramble to get the wreckage off the bottom for someone else can.

Word is Biden did a little shit slinging at the Vatican...in his pants.

Camilla Parker Bowles can’t stop talking about Joe Biden’s ‘long fart’ I finally found a reason to like Biden.

Truth, although there is something to be said for being told to proceed direct Sammy for 69 turns in holding.

A great read and I now view Grant in a new light. I would now argue his efforts to keep the union together and prevent a second Civil War are on par with Lincolns efforts leading up to and during the Civil War. To Rescue the Republic: Ulysses S. Grant, the Fragile Union, and the Crisis of 1876

Its actually worse than that (hard to believe). Danchenko (Who has ties to Russian and did PR work for them previous to this), was used as a source and he himself fabricated information. He lied to the FBI (one of the reasons he was indited on five charges), about meetings, phone calls and a trip to Russia to get the "Pee tape"...that trip was a fabrication. In reality he was a pawn. Charles Dolan, A Clinton Advisor met with Danchecnko multiple times and fed him more false information knowing it was going into the dossier, that Hillary was paying for. They still needed a way to get the information to the FBI (and the press). Enter Fiona Hill, a member of the NSC. She is now linked to the Steele Dossier and bringing it to light. WORST OF ALL...The Democrats called her as a witness in the impeachment trial. If you are upset about January 6th (as am I), you should be equally OUTRAGED by what happened here. The Clinton Campaign and the NCS were knee deep in fake information that was used to impeach a sitting president and overturn an election. By the way, that's Charles Dolan in the picture with Biden. I used to laugh when people said the phrase "deep state", I am not laughing now. I can't believe anyone would think this is alright.

We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.

You do realize the Antrax vaccine has been around for a long time, in it's earliest form the late 1800's. The Russians (not helping the argument), started giving it to humans int he 1930's, the U.S., to certain workers in 1940 and it was officially licensed by the FDA in 1970. Despite being a vaccine used to counter a bacteria, it still uses the same methodology and technology as virus based vaccines. I am not anti-vaccine, I got it after having a nasty time with COVID. That being said, mandating a vaccine based on new technology with what I think can all admit is a limited time period to examine side effects is a different animal all together. Honestly I thought Fauci was in a tough spot early on, working for Trump and trying to stick to science with trump as a press conference had to be a difficult experience. However, as it turns out Fauci is a complete fraud and a liar. From conflicting mask guidance, changing science on vaccine requirements and effectiveness to outright lies about gain of function testing and the origins of the virus, it is very clear there is a lot more to the story.

As has been discussed in many posts in the thread there will be many second and third order effects of our decision to leave Afghanistan. A great read below captures some of the impacts and how China will step in to fill the leadership void.

Zuck was trying to get out of the spotlight by running ads putting the blame on the government, when that failed he changed the platform name. Some very interesting items buried int he SEC report including a research study Facebook Manipulation that shows just how and biased the platform is. Something has to change and 230 needs serious modification or elimination. We will just ignore the $400M he dumped into shaping local elections. This nerd has far too much say in shaping your life.

I did the CTP course with Kit in 2016, nice guy. Reviewed my resume and provided some good inputs.

Fully-vaccinated people can pass on the Delta variant at home, including to other vaccinated people, a study finds - but unvaccinated people are still at most risk

That was not my experience, perhaps it depends on location. I started by making an appointment with the DAV rep at Family Support Center. The DAV rep spent 4 hours going through my medical records page by page and asked questions about every entry. He submitted the paperwork on my behalf. Next I had a very brief appointment with the Flight Doctors basically telling me I would be moving to Family Medicine and continuing my prescription (Flonase). A few weeks later the VA sent me a list of appointments, some on base, most off base at civilian providers. At no point did I step inside a VA facility despite having a large VA hospital 20 miles away. First I had to have a LOT of blood drawn on base. Next I was referred to an imaging center off base where I had 21 X-Rays of my back, shoulder and knee. I was in treatment and eventually had surgery for a herniated disc in my lower back, also a knee injury from Afghanistan getting out of a burning plane. The most maddening appointment was with an ENT. They scheduled me for an appointment TWO STATES away in Biloxi. It was the oddest doctor's visit of my life. The Doctor's office was in an industrial park in a metal building in a very odd neighborhood in Biloxi. I walked into the lobby and was greeted with the motif you see in the pictures...yes that is Tweety Bird and Sylvester. I've also attached a video of the exam room which was nothing but movie posters and action dolls. The Doctor came in to do a hearing loss and tinnitus evaluation. He gave me a 20 minute dissertation on how he was fired fromt he VA because he spoke up too much. For the actual exam he asked me "Are you left or right handed when you shoot your rifle?" Huh? I fly gunships Doctor....."Oh...what side are the guns on?" The left...."Ok, that makes sense, with your left ear, have a nice day." Two weeks after all of these appointments I had an appointment with a local doctor who has a contract with the VA to do an eval based on all of the above plus a physical exam. The doctor was actually amazing. That dude checked every possible way I could bend, move my legs and arms and took measurements of each movement. I remember at one point I was trying to contort in a certain direction and I was in pain but trying to push through it. The doctor stopped me and asked what I was doing. I basically I told him I was not trying to cheat the system and I could push through it. The doctor stopped me right there and told me "I don't think you are trying to cheat and I am not going to let you cheat, but 26 years of flying takes a toll on the human body and I will make sure we document it." If you are like me I spent most of my career avoiding the doctor so nothing would get in the way of me flying. Let go of that approach and let them document so you are covered later in life. The doctor submitted his report and about 60 days later I got a note from the DAV telling me what my rating would be. The VA mailed me a letter but some how the DAV found out first. I took my eval to my local FAA doc and he went through it, no show stoppers, I did need one common waiver which the FAA granted no issues. IMG_6631.MOV
