So Q- because they evaluate themselves? Heard somewhere, forget where, a new litigation TTP being used is hiring DA's with outspoken targets, then pursuing federal crimes in state courts under state rules. Think AR has it in them? How are their state rules?

The request to execute the warrant says has the 'more-to-this-story' (govt perspective) AND a judge approved that ATF TTP. That's the scary part, attempt to roll him up by force, from his 'castle', in the morning versus somewhere else when no violent crimes were assessed. They, that is ALL parties, created that scenario and end result. Bystanders and all parties now have regret because of end result...aka wrong TTP chosen IMHO, and foul...IF... trafficking arms. Now the ATF's TTP is called into question by all, including Congress. https://www.kark.com/crime/released-search-warrant-affidavit-shows-details-of-atf-case-against-little-rock-airport-executive-bryan-malinowski/ Ex.-1-Search-Warrant-003.pdf

Easy to say flaring is stupid when your landing gear struts are built like artillery barrels. Also in a normal approach to landing, or come-down, does that mean Navy bro's lay some rigorous pipe atop their shipmates aboard?

As I recall that was his first FTU sortie power-up, yes? Not even taxied yet!

https://www.airandspaceforces.com/congress-wont-let-air-force-retire-t1s-might-accept-new-t-7s-built-without-contract/ .."defense bill won’t let the Air Force retire its T-1A Jayhawk trainers until the service’s new pilot training system is up and running and the Secretary of the Air Force certifies that retiring the jet won’t slow the pace." Let's see how this ages...

Ever any boats or other watercraft silhouetted? And guess our Navy marks their boat's with Battle Stars (or Es) instead of silhouettes.

We do, when there is a 🎈 balloon...

Anything to cancel student debt....

UBS has a NYC Americas HQ, big HQ not USA, and... Switzerland says UBS may need more cash. The bank is fuming A year after the failure of Credit Suisse, the Swiss government says UBS may have to find as much as $27 billion to absorb potential losses and protect taxpayers from ever having to bail out a major bank, reports my colleague Hanna Ziady. Now, the giant Swiss lender is hitting back, saying its finances are robust and warning that the proposal could harm Switzerland’s standing as a global financial center.

Wonder when the E8/9s realize WOs displace their billets by DOMPMA...

The right one, just in case, just to ask, 'so are you feeling lucky...punk?'

Did you 'dibs' Biff just now!?

Related to Ron J.? ...Yikes

Yeah. About that. Pretty sure I'd take a coalitions' financial and operationally-ready weapons support to the tune of $278B as of Jan 24'....especially American and German tech, they seem historically kick-ass and dominant in lethality and effectiveness. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/these-countries-have-committed-the-most-aid-to-ukraine#:~:text=The majority of committed support,billion in aid to Ukraine.

Thick read at 1,000+ pages. I like the 1 paragraph benefits version instead. Choices, choices.

Scroll early and often

Meh, Big Sky/Space theory...what could go wrong!? (/s) Also, do TBMs or ICBMs have ADS-B out? Or just in? Or not supposed to at all but it got included because that military didn't pay to remove that feature? (/s)
