Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
Anybody else jump on Platinum when it was down in the 900s per ounce? I didn't go big, but bought 20 ounces for a goof and am about to sell at over 1,400 an ounce. Platinum seems to be more all over the place compared to silver and gold which both tend to trend up over time (long times usually).

The Next President is...
the horse face does me in on AOC, I realize with Biff it's boobs and butts. I'm all for those (good ones) as well, but they don't overcome having a face I don't like looking at.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
innovative and effective (also cheap) ways to kill each other. Respect the innovation but loath how we’re still obsessed with killing each other (not to get too preachy).

History Friday
It ain’t Friday and this dude was Army, but he tells some good stories. Enjoy a brief glimpse of WWII. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16C4ZWyzAx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Oh there are plenty of other reasons to be embarrassed to be an "atheist".

What's wrong with the Air Force?
What the heck is a naked gunner hug? Never mind, now I’m trying to gouge out my own minds eye.

That was definitely a power trip on full display. Some serious personal anti motorcycle bias as well.

Ramping up against the Houthis in Yemem
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.

Trump's Cabinet
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/

F15EX Going to KMTC
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.

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.

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.

March Madness
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.

Tariff wars
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.

China & Chinese Shenanigans
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.

China & Chinese Shenanigans
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.
