We ran from Afghanistan in the middle of the night, if we sit back and watch Putin steamroll Ukraine I wonder what that message sends China about Taiwan?

I know a dude who delayed to screw (sts) his ex-wife.

Ouch!

Jeffrey Epstein Pilot Recalls Flying Trump, Bill Clinton And Prince Andrew

How about we ask about this picture?

This is the rub for me...the OVERWHELMING majority of mainstream media outlets not only lean liberal but in recent years have actively sought to protect the liberal machine. I get it, FOXNEWS preaches the same for the Conservative side, but they are a lone lighthouse in that storm. Are there other outlets that defend the conservatives, yes, but none with the audience of CBS/ABC/NBC/CNN/Yahoo News/Twitter/Facebook. I'm old and I am an idealist, I want the press to be the 4th estate. We need that neutral and unbiased eye looking in to keep our system honest. In my opinion the press has completely abandoned that moral responsibility. I am glad COVID has been an eye opener, I hoped better from my government. I consider myself a man of science and when the pandemic started I was glad Fauci was standing next to Trump, maybe a voice of reason to shape the bloviating. I can not even begin express my disappointment in Fauci. At first I thought he had just morphed into a political animal, now I've come to believe he is beyond corrupt. He actively helped cover up the origin of the virus, has denied gain of function research to the point of changing the definition, and denies any relevant research related to natural immunity. He MUST go and should likely be prosecuted for both perjury and potential criminal actions related to work at the Wuhan laboratory. The mainstream press has stood behind Fauci and sung his praises completely overlooking any reasonable responsibility to research this clown and what he did. The second unforgivable failure of the 4th estate is the Hunter Biden laptop. Social media suppressed the story and the mainstream media drown the story in a "Russian misinformation" mantra." Have any of you liberals taken an honest look at what is on that laptop. I could care less about pictures of Hunter smoking crack or nailing hookers, has zip to do with the Presidency. I am talking about the repeated insinuations that Biden while VP sought a cut and was most certainly manipulated as part of an effort to sell influence at the highest level of the U.S. government. I HOPE it is false, but dear god shouldn't we take an honest look? The liberal hate machine spent years impeaching Trump and shaping the release of information, only to see the disinfectant of sunlight show it a nothing burger. Is no one else appalled that there could be even a grain of truth to all of this. I found Tony Bobulinski's testimony to be very compelling and at least justifies a deeper look, not a hand waive by the liberal media that wants to hide the truth. The NY Post won't let the story go and while the WSJ has done some background investigation on the finances, a MUCH deeper look needs to happen. I am hoping (probably idealistic on my part), the the fall of Chris Cuomo starts the dominoes falling so we can just get to the truth on both sides.

For a while he refused to pick someone to be a Squadron CC unless they were BPZ to LtCol, that was his pass fail test of leadership and fed his plan of trying to build as many AFSOC GOs as possible. That TTP went up in smoke when AFSOC started getting hammered on promotion boards and he ran out of BPZ folks. The incoming CAT 5 is just as bad in other regards. He HATED the Weapons School (although he surrounded himself with patches anytime he deployed), he actually stood up and clapped when another O-6 WIC hater suggested we close the AFSOC WIC at a senior officer meeting. As a Wing/CC he tried to shame his SQ/CC patches into not wearing their grad patches..."I should know you are a graduate by your performance." One of those CC's caved (Pavelow Dude imagine that), he ended up on the fast track and is now a sitting Wing/CC. That current sitting WIng/CC has pulled all references to WIC from his official bio and exhibits many of the same narcissistic traits as his handler.

It has nothing to do with focused attention on each platform, and sadly crossflow won't stop the tribalism. The issue is and has been the Pavelow Mafia and what they have done through the years. I am skimming the surface on their TTPs but in short they executed what Big Blue tried to do on the GO development side. They picked key talent VERY early and made them the "chosen ones". They stratified a few thoroughbreds in each year group, and pushed them forward no matter what. Dudes actually knew what there "number" was in their entire year group and once they were "made" the senior folks carefully managed the chosen ones to make sure they were BPZ at multiple ranks, in the right job, at the right school and in the right position to continue the program. For many years AFSOC had only one wing and the Commander was almost always a Pavelow guy. The Gunships, Talons and Shadows were relegated to second tier jobs. A few MC guys leaked through once in a while, but the Pavelow guys always made it back into the rotation. Any time a gunship bro would excel the mafia made sure they didn't get command at Hurlburt...the only wing with gunships. Fiel and Hiethold popped as GOs but both had to be Wing/CCs elsewhere. I think the first gunship dude to make BG as the Hurlburt Wing/CC was Westy and they made sure he retired as a one star. Honestly I blame Fiel and Hiethold. Fiel enabled the current sycophant and his CAT 5 successor to survive and enabled their caustic ways. CAT 5 did a lot of F'd up things and Fiel could have ended him, but he was persuaded the dude could be "fixed" and he let him continue. Rather than fall on his sword and take the case to CSAF, Hiethold took the easy route and pushed them both away to Korea, where they put their rings together and survived to rise from the ashes. A Pavelow followed Hiethold in the AFSOC/CC chair and the deal was done. A complete travesty...Elton should have been the pick and he would have done wonders for the entire enterprise. I don't think most know how bad it really is. The AFOSC/CC does not like AC-130 types, he thinks they are stone cold killers that need mental health help, something he has openly been heard saying in the halls of the command. He actually ordered a reflection event for the gunship community, not because of the woke nonsense, but because he thinks the gunship community kills too many people to easily. It is absolutely shocking some of the things this clown has said to other senior officers. He has even gone as far as to offer to give up all the AC-130's in the command to enable his other pet projects. And let there be no doubt, the lunatic coming in behind him will continue the destruction.

The situation at AFSOC is horrible but NO ONE CARES. The system encourages what has happened and the internal AFSOC politics made it even worse. There was a big purge of AFSOC O-6s a few years ago but nothing really came of it other than some very talented people ran for the door. You would think Big Blue leadership would pay attention when the sitting Group Commanders of your two premier AFSOC Wings bail at the same time. Both were on the Wing/CC list and they said nope...adios. Wait until the CAT 5 hits AFSOC....the current guy is horrible, so convinced he is right he do anything to preserve his legacy including getting rid of all the AC-130's...sadly this is not a joke. The incoming dude is pure hate, a vindictive cult of personality who will salt the earth behind him. Both have lined up their DOJ's (inside joke), and puppets who will continue to do their bidding to perpetuate the evil. I still talk to many folks on the inside and there is one overriding theme from all of them...dark dread. It will take AFSOC a generation to overcome, if it ever does.

A-Frickin-Men

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.

Pilot ejected and was rescued.

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.
