The GOP should run an ad campaign with two tax scenarios for the average tax payer, one funding the beast of bloated social services and one with very modest social programs where welfare returns to the churches and local civic societies thru individual donations
Ask the voter what do you want, aloof bureaucrats wasting your money in utopian schemes to address aspects of free societies that are features not bugs that can’t be solved only treated or you deciding how much and where you want part of your income to go to benevolent efforts?
Will never happen, at least not until some massive economic problem/collapse.

Leftists: Being anti-Israel doesn’t mean you’re antisemitic.
Also leftists: If you want to deport illegal aliens it’s because you’re a racist who wants to get rid of black or brown people.

Tried searching and the most recent thing I could find was a graduating class in 2024
UPT 24-14 and XPW 24-15 Graduation > Air Education and Training Command > Article Display
My neighbor's kids a pilot. And we talked about him possibly joining the 920th and the Accelerated Patch program.
Pretty sure it’s done as the T-1 is no longer training students. But I’ve been out of the game for a while so I could be wrong.

I agree with Lord Ratner’s take on it. I think a DFC with valor and a Purple Heart, but I don’t think it crosses over into MoH territory. To me it takes a type of gallantry such as saving life/lives of fellow service members while being attacked or superior heroism (e.g. John Leviton). I do respect the fact it’s hard, if not impossible, to directly compare the combat events and actions of the recipients to each other. But in the end I’m not the POTUS, so it doesn’t really matter what I think.
Dude, are you ok?

So what then did you mean by your original comment? I don’t think you were asking for clarification on the location/operation as your internet search skills are probably just as good as the rest of us.

I don’t understand how this can be with all of Mexico’s strict gun control laws?

I knew this was going to horribly fail, I just didn’t think it would start to happen this soon…

4 hours ago, Sua Sponte said: Don't quite understand how you came to that conclusion out of reposting that video. I don't know where you've lived, but in the multiple blue and red states I've lived in, currently living in a red state, I've had to show my ID to register to vote. In fact, I registered to vote at the same time I obtained a driver's license in the current state I'm in.
So, would you agree that if the SAVES Act passes, and the GOP loses big in the midterms, then Trump should accept that defeat and not claim that the midterms are rigged with voting fraud?
I’ll make this simple: Do you support requiring an ID to vote? And no, many blue states currently do not require an ID to vote.
And of course I think Trump should then accept defeat.

Just like George Floyd was a good person, and Michael Brown was a gentle giant, Alex was also a super calm guy…

The left has been against deporting illegal aliens for some time now. Using the media, “protests”, and one off tragic events to try to turn the public to their side is just the standard left trying to gain political points. You can be against LEO being too aggressive (and definitely be against them harming the innocent), be pro-2A, and also be for deporting illegal aliens…but let’s not pretend this is what the left is doing.

14 minutes ago, brabus said: It’s funny how many portions of the AF have obviously tried to emulate the Weapons School patch. I’m all for finding ways to be the best at whatever you do, but come on guys, trying to copy the WIC’s patch is lazy and the opposite of innovative (assuming that’s a tenet of any of these courses).
Kind of like when the space/missileers and comm/cyber guys started wearing a new badge that more closely resembled wings.

Snap won't move anything. Solid voting Ds will stay Ds. Solid voting Rs will stay Rs. Reps that feel heat on their reelection will the ones that fold. Question remains, what side tips first?
Well, looks you got your answer.

Now that the Democrats capitulated they are devouring themselves.
40 days of chaos for absolutely NOTHING...you guys must be so proud.
They are calling for Schumer's head and resignation.
No, no…you have it all wrong. The progressives told us it was a Republican shutdown.

The Iran thread
in Squadron Bar
I read a lot of their nonsense just for mod reasons, otherwise, I’ve taken the stance that if they don’t want to discuss in good faith, then why bother.
