  1. Perhaps the same type of people who would make this “deal”? https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/08/americas/viktor-bout-profile-prisoner-swap-intl/index.html Or this one: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/08/americas/viktor-bout-profile-prisoner-swap-intl/index.html
  2. “The preliminary investigation revealed two groups were shooting at each other.” While this is horrible for the family, especially losing two children, this incident appears to be gang related, though of course I don’t know all the facts. If so, when a 16 years old is involved with groups shooting at each other, my initial question comes down to parenting—who is allowing their 16 year old to be involved in such activity? Unfortunately this is happens elsewhere in the country and it has to be fixed with better parenting.
  3. Oh I did a staff job many years ago with the acquisition/test world…that movie is like their “Top Gun” lol. But seriously, this is what I don’t understand about even those on the right—they literally want us to spend more money on “defense” and desire more wars/conflict. Talk about throwing more good money after bad.
  4. 1. Well, the Air Force seems to have money for DEI stuff and other nonsense…so while they might be hard broke, resources are finite, and using resources for X then reduces resources for Y. I think this, like every other problem, is a failure of leadership. 2. Are you referring to IFT-R that is/was done in Georgetown TX (link below)? https://www.brunneraerospace.com/usaf-ift-r-program/
  5. The real question is was the Air Force/DoD this bad over 20 years ago and I just noticed it my later years or has it been getting worse and worse? Either way, it’s not good.
  6. If you haven’t received your contracts bonus on schedule, then your CC, his/her CC, and so on should be asking about this weekly, if not daily. This is no different as not receiving your basic pay. I would also reach out to your Congressman’s office ASAP.
  7. This isn’t recent news—it’s been this way for at least 2-3 years now. And yes, it’s embarrassing, but after seeing how AFMC handled the ISS issues with the seats and the OBOGS issues, no one should be surprised. But it’s good that the AF has allocated resources to things like DEI…you know, what really matters when winning wars.

    Big win for Rarebreed and their FRTs (triggers)!
  9. If you only need about 60 hours to an unrestricted ATP, why not just go spend the money and get them?—I get that it could cost you around $10K, but that’s a drop in the bucket when you factor in getting seniority sooner. Also, do you have your CTP yet?—I think you might be able to apply some/all of those(?) sim hours towards your total time.
  10. Make no mistake about it…if the Dem leadership/elites believe they will be better off/more powerful with Kamala as president before November then that’s what will happen. Does anyone for a second truly believe that Biden all of sudden realized that it’s best for him/his party if he’s not on the ticket? He was forced out by whatever coercion or backroom deal that was made. Love or hate Trump, it’s clear he cannot be controlled by the GOP or their donors, or at least not even as close to same way as the Dem politicians…hence one reason why the GOP old school types never wanted him in 2016 and weren’t quick to back him again last year. It makes you wonder how deep the corruption or backroom deals really go?
  11. Too young to have 1st Amendment rights, but old enough to tell school officials that she’s the opposite gender.
  12. I see comments on social media where the left is saying essentially that it’s no big deal and that Trump’s wounds aren’t worse than a kid getting hurt on the playground and needing stitches…this from the same people who said a few years ago that if you didn’t wear a mask that you were going to kill people.
  13. Well, when you literally call the guy Hitler, don’t be surprised when someone tried to take him out.

    In Idaho of all places.
  15. And yet, this was from Putin himself: Putin says Biden is better for Russia than a Trump presidency And my apologies if I’m little more than skeptical when it comes to believing US intelligence officials after what they’ve done to Trump over the years… https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/putin-says-biden-better-russia-trump-presidency-rcna138942
  16. It somewhat appears that the left is staying with Biden?…unless they’re just waiting for the proper time for him to exit the race? If so, I imagine they’ll want to do it sooner vs later for state ballot reasons as well as to have all this figured out before their convention in August. The most interesting piece of this entire debacle is that maybe Trump seems to have learned an important lesson—keep your mouth somewhat shut and don’t interfere when your opponents are destroying themselves. I know this isn’t in Trump’s nature so it will be interesting to see how long he can keep it going.
  17. Didn’t Nsplayr talk about how much he thought Biden was doing an awesome job?
  18. Sounds like a good reason (they would believe?) to invade Taiwan…? Maybe? I think given Biden’s recent debate performance the CCP would be more likely now vs prior to last month.
  19. So it seems that many on the left (House minority leader, etc) today are saying support Biden being the nominee? I’m guessing they have to say this up until the exact point that Biden says he’s no longer running?
  20. If this means I’m supposed to believe that every verdict for a defendant has been good and correct, that every court ruling on whether or not a law is Constitutional has also always been good and correct, and lastly that every potential person that committed an alleged crime wasn’t let off the hook/not prosecuted (cough cough Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton), then I guess you and I have very different opinions of our justice system. Or you can just laugh now that Trump was convicted, but then you’ll also probably cry when he is elected President. His reelection is far from certain (I still wouldn’t be surprised if he lost given that the Dems do some weird and shady stuff when it comes to elections), but I think the odds are definitely favoring Trump than Biden—we shall see…if even Biden is still the nominee past August.
  21. Yeah, because the NY case against Trump wasn’t BS…
