I was attempting to mock that COA, but the resignation is starting to set in. Dont worry about it, I’ve never liked you anyway.

I know. You can see one of our Holstein steers in the background. They were purchased from a similar operation. I think factory livestock production is getting a little out of hand and I def thought “WTF” when I saw that vid.

There’s no saving the current financial system. Might as well stand on the gas.

One of my favorite movie lines. https://youtu.be/9cjgYBaluLQ

This American goes by the name of Sarah Ashton-Cirillo. Sarah has been hired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be its official spokesperson for Western/English speaking audiences. - that'd be you. https://twitter.com/SarahAshtonLV/status/1687759882294861824?s=20

Seems to be a lot of this kind of stuff happening. Same thing in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Given that there seem to be a lot of healthy young people who want to fight, how would you solve these types of societal problems?

You will be held accountable if you are a bystander to any kind of a situation and fail to report it. I would quote this line in my reports for every kind of situation. Every day. "Sir, I was in the SQ bar today at 1500 and witnessed a situation in which there was no alcohol. Thought you should know." Looking back at the thread, I missed this. So he won a legal case against the CMSgt for a Facebook ban? That's pretty funny. What ultimately happened to this guy? Did he make it to 20? I thought he either resigned or was booted from active duty over a drone issue. It's probably buried here somewhere, but didn't he post a vid of a sports car that he spent thousands on turning it into a James Bond anti-cop vehicle with electric shock door handles and a fog machine?

Here's something you may not have heard of: International Surrogacy Centers. Or, Underground Ukrainian Baby Factories. Products ship worldwide. Take my money. https://thegrayzone.com/2023/07/28/ukraines-baby-factories-profits-war/

I pulled a chair up to the window here in Crystal City, and I can see part of the puzzle palace, the monument, and the Dome. I'm not as impressed as I once was. Believe it or not, I'm constantly challenging my own thoughts more than anyone else and I don't like the feeling of, or giving the perception of, shytting on my country. But just when I convince myself that my concerns are overwrought, they get reinforced. Like this article from Gallup. https://news.gallup.com/poll/509189/confidence-military-lowest-two-decades.aspx My career in service was a pretty big chapter in my life so I have an interest in whether my investment was a wise one. Yesterday, I saw a video of a 100 year old Marine Vet crying over America and how it isn't what he fought for. Pretty sad. I don't want to be that guy. But why is it average Americans have such a dim view of the military during one of the most dangerous times in recent memory?

Good graphic summarizing the current situation around Taiwan.

I was just reading the news story about LeBron James, son, Bronny (18) who had a heart attack during a workout. Then I found that someone compiled a list of all the recent news stories regarding young athletes who collapsed and/or died Apr 2023 and before https://goodsciencing.com/covid/athletes-suffer-cardiac-arrest-die-after-covid-shot/

How many lies have we been told recently? Recent government information on nearly every issue that has captivated the public fear and fascination has been suspect. COVID, climate change, vaccines, Monkeypox, Russia, North Korea, AFG, inflation, gov spending, DEI, elections, immigration, social issues, etc, etc, etc. Now UFOs. I have two theories: Either we have these non-elected "intelligence" services promoting narratives that either contribute to the expansion of authority, enrich DC elite, or distract from their failures.... Or, it's just a bunch of morons wasting time and money deliberating over rumors, fantasies, and gossip. "I want to believe." But, given the recent track record, I'm not buying the whole "Well, Sally said Peter knows a guy whose cousin saw a dead alien. Here's a 240p video of a white dot in the sky at night." Show up with a wrecked spaceship, head of an alien, or kick rocks.

Just doing a little reading. 20 July - Grassley released the FBI memo regarding the foreign bribery scheme. Three of the people mentioned are: the CHS (Confidential Human Source) Zlochevsky - Burisma CEO who claims to have text messages and proof of bribery. Ostapenko - Works in the Zelensky administration, connected the source and Zlochevsky. All three were associates working together. Sources are now claiming that Zelensky, through Ostapenko, has had possession of all information and materials related to the bribery scheme. Zelensky became president in 2019. Biden in 2020. In September 2020, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved Ukraine's new National Security Strategy, which provides for the development of the distinctive partnership with NATO with the aim of membership in NATO. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_37750.htm Jan 25, 2021 - The Biden administration immediately began spending billions on Ukraine - all before the invasion. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/biden-has-proven-track-record-ukraine-what-can-we-expect-his-administration Coincidence? What would you do if you were a foreign leader with proof of crimes committed by the current US presidential administration?

Brown did say that he had application goals. As long as the applicants fall into one of the targeted percentage groups he specified in his memo, he could reinstate them with rank and back pay just as Sen Schmidt wanted. Everyone's happy, right?

Same time?

Great post. Can you give a vague synopsis of what happened?

You could actually slap people around in the 1970s? How can you say that's not better? Now words are violence. 😄 You bring up an interesting point. Some perks, benefits, and conditions may be better, but "kids these days" think it sucks. All of the things you're touting can be gotten outside the military as well. The "Job" is the difference. Why is it no longer attractive to recruits? https://media.defense.gov/2022/Jul/14/2003035423/-1/-1/1/STRENGTHENING-FOOD-SECURITY-IN-THE-FORCE-STRATEGY-AND-ROADMAP.PDF "Analysis of the 2020 SOFS-A indicates that 76% of total active duty Service members were food secure and 24% of active duty Service members experienced food insecurity at some point in the preceding year of the survey."

Fair shot. I made a mistake. I was intending to say that because of the issues with our demographics, The borders aren't being enforced because leadership is attempting to engineer a societal solution by importing migrants. I had the below clip of Pelosi in mind when I posted it. Because they don't have as many entitlement benefits, these people will be members of the lower class, willing to do unskilled jobs at a lower price, and upon given voting rights, will attempt to vote a certain way in response to promises that they're lives will be improved. I recently did a motorcycle ride through the San Joaquin Valley during harvest. It was shocking. I looked up the definition of social engineering and it's not what I was attempting to say. I meant nothing to the effect of lizard people or illuminati or whatever you thought I was alluding to.
