Maybe the Clinton “strategy” of every six months sending a few tomahawks at a trouble maker. No American assets at real risk and lets the goat humpers know we’re still watching. With the Houthis we could send a few at a time. I’m not sure what tomahawks are going for now, but def less expensive than F-18s. And putting Navy personnel in harms way, is no bueno.

Due process for citizens and visitors is very similar for criminal cases. But due process for deporting illegals is vastly different. And birthright citizenship for visitors (legal or illegal) is not valid. We have to defer to the writers of the 14th amendment and what they were saying. https://americanmind.org/features/the-case-against-birthright-citizenship-2/birthright-citizenship-game-on/

There is something to be said of the crew dynamics when tdy (but not what Biff insinuated - I understood that’s reserved for the C models in Japan). I was just expressing my long unfulfilled dream/desire to fly the F-4 and then the F-15, when the F-4 disappeared. I’m sure fat Amy has its capabilities but dang the F-15 is a beast! i also realize the aviation gods who fly single pilot understand and benefit from the “crew” concept often, since they regularly fly in 2-ship or 4-ship formations. It’s always fun to share adrenaline inducing experiences with others. Plus it makes for some great stories.

Yeah def no “blind hate”… Here’s a funny for you even though thankfully she isn’t on any cabinet

I was projecting.

The pilots at Selfridge have to be psyched to get the upgraded -15 over fat Amy.

The Bee!!! This one might have been too soon. He’s not even buried yet. I’m not sure if I should have laughed but couldn’t keep it in.

Too true to be funny.

FSU shooting, 2 dead and 5 wounded. Sad day. I wish these scumbag would off themselves instead of killing others.

Did Trump break the law? Maybe, but the judge and prosecutor lied, distorted, and convoluted the details enough that the jury’s decision should have been vacated. A total sham. The civil rape/assault trial was even more of a sham. He’s a douchebag for sure, but once the appeals are finalized he wont be “convicted” anymore, to the leftists disappointment.

If only that song were true. Sadly they wont go away and delusional men will continue to endanger women and girls because there is no shame in 2025 America.

I won my bracket friends group with the Gators taking it all. Most everyone in my group had Duke going all the way. I knew Houston was rough and physical but even with their seeding, I didn’t think they’d make it past Elite 8. They were physical and aggressive and had me scared in the final.

The boat comic is exactly the opposite of what’s happening in the U.S. leftist have been setting fire and killing anything that challenges their idiotic anti-human flourishing worldview. Nice try though.

That makes me sad to read. If the desire for freedom has wavered in Taiwan’s AF pilots, what are the odds it will be strong amongst the general population. I grew up in Taiwan (8 to 18) and the 104 drivers who were my dad’s friends were gung-ho about fighting China if it ever came to that. Of course this was (1970 to 1980) when U.S. F-4s were station in Tainan and also rotated through CCK in Taichung on a quarterly basis from Clark. CCK had 2 or 3 F-104 squadrons (US and Taiwanese). There were also US C-130s in Taipei and at CCK as well as a squadron of KC-135s on permanent TDY at CCK. The U.S. presence diminished greatly in 1977 when Carter threw Taiwan under the bus. We should have helped establish Taiwan (in the UN) as a separate nation from Communist China instead of playing name games for 47 years. China might have given up their laughable claim.

Gators squeaked by for the title.

Officially ended in 2016, but even before that Chinese men were going to nearby Asian countries to find wives. It took the CCP officials a little longer to see the impact of their bad policies. I was in Vietnam in 2013 for a while, and saw tons of Chinese men shopping for wives in both Hanoi and Saigon.

On their face these high tariffs seem unwise in the short run, but I’m not an economist. I know the imbalance has caused our industrial base to just about disappear. We bought the cheapest crap when we had a choice, and now most of what was made here has been outsourced to China and other cheap labor countries. We’ve now lost the choice in most products and we’re addicted to cheap throw away crap. I like the idea of bringing manufacturing products home and I’m also hoping there are discussions happening behind the scenes so that we don’t face high tariffs (import and export) and the trade market is more fair for the U.S. We have high labor costs and it might require subsidies to keep some level of competence in heavy industry here in the U.S.A. Our collective patience level isn’t very high (based on the market volatility). Who knows what the best long term strategy is and maybe Trump is making a terrible policy decision and the markets are letting us know in real time. Either way, we’re in for some volatility over the next few months (I know, I’m just stating the obvious).

Willie allegedly had a “highway men” club too. Screw that, i was having too much fun flying on Uncle Sam’s dime to do drastically stupid shitte like that and get booted. Even without social media, you could still end up being seen by the wrong person and lose your wings.

This is about what they all looked like (at varying speeds) back in the 1980s. This one is more recent and I think was discussed here on BOs when it happened. The crews got reprimanded if I remember correctly.

Here’s a good one 😀, replacement glass is cheap

Yeah, that lesbian underwater basket weaving masters degree served her well.

At a Bills game. Sadly I was watching and not flying. I was a tanker guy at the Burgh.

Those were the days. I remember a 2 ship FB-111 flyby at about 100’ / 150’ and about 500kts. Today they’d try to throw you in jail for that.

This sounds delusional. You been drinking?
