Whoa. Everything does indeed make sense. Even the crying. I have no doubt this was used to coerce him into doing some of the dumb political shit he did.

That's terrible news. Didn't know him personally, but my impression of him was intelligent and measured in his posts here and he seemed morally grounded. I suppose that makes sense as a husband, father, and Christian. Even more sad to hear kids may have been hurt. Prayers for everyone involved. 🥃

Buckle up. We got a bag day ahead of us.

I googled her bio. Shocker 🤘

Lloyd Austin just revoked the plea deal, making the death penalty possible again. I'll give him credit for that, but some of you have a record of immediately carrying the water for the current official position, no matter how wrong it may be. I would like to see more critical thinking.

Some of you spent your entire careers fighting terrorists. You sacrificed. Some sacrificed everything. Why? So the DoD could negotiate and strike a deal with a 9/11 mastermind? How many more ways are they going to spit in our faces?

Biden has no upcoming public events. His signature does not match any previous signatures. His meeting with Netanyahu has been cancelled while the Israeli PM's plane in the air on the way to DC. It's a little strange. To anyone, especially our enemies, it would appear that there hasn't been a time in recent memory where America has been more vulnerable. If we make it through the next few months relatively unscathed, it will be a miracle... akin to dodging a bullet.

Interesting song choice for you Tom Clancy fans. Remember the plot?

There was one moment in the debate where I didn't feel like I was wasting my time and reminded me not to take this entire clown show too seriously. ROTFL. "That's the biggest lie... that he's a 6 handicap... of all. I've seen your swing." https://x.com/SleeperGolf/status/1806514729290265004

The DOD Inspector General released a report regarding DoD funding to Chinese laboratories to enhance pathogens with pandemic potential. https://www.dodig.mil/reports.html/Article/3811820/management-advisory-review-of-dod-funds-provided-to-the-peoples-republic-of-chi/ DoD organizations did not have visibility of subaward information throughout the life of contracts and grants. In addition, except for the CDMRP electronic grants system, DoD organizations could not effectively search award systems to identify all contracts, subcontracts, grants, and subgrants that may have been related to pathogen research performed by China and other foreign countries. As a result, DoD organizations could not produce a complete population of pathogen research grants and subawards necessary for us to conclude on the use of DoD funds provided for pathogen research.

Anyone else sick of these f’n pricks?

For the fathers with daughters, would you allow them to be forcibly conscripted for a purely hypothetical conflict with a near peer adversary?

FY25 NDAA proposal: Make women register for the draft. LOL

Unbelievable. The United States of America at the national level, is led entirely by assholes. It can't be saved. Only reset.

My wife and I had been dating for about 1.5 years. As my UPT date approached, we weren't sure what to do. She was still in college. I was going to be in BOQ in Columbus. How was she going to visit and how often? I proposed on a Thursday evening. We went to the courthouse Friday morning and got married. Then we called our parents and I called CBM and said I needed a house on base. Arrived there a week later and got to work making some kids. That was 26 years ago. Now we have grandkids. I wanted to fly and I wanted a family. There is absolutely no reason why someone can't do both. Granted, you gotta choose wisely, but going home to a house after flying, having a dinner at a table every night, getting laid, and having someone to be with... I wouldn't do it any other way. That said, I sympathize with you. The quality of women available to men of your generation is absolute shit. good luck.

A US-Ukraine NGO is compiling and publishing a list of Americans who oppose Ukraine aid. Jim Banks is sending letters to all the people on the list. Here is the NGO's list of people who need to be dealt with.

I hope this unleashes a tsunami of lawsuits against all organizations who made the vaccine medical treatment a condition of employment or education, specifically the DoD.

Just a few:

Hope they got out. What aircraft? EDIT: Looks like they did. "Pilot is being attended to." https://www.facebook.com/KOBTV/videos/2425143644345871

During the State of Union, President Biden ordered the US military to establish a pier to aid in the distribution of aid to Palestinians: It starts at 2:49. 5 days ago, General Ryder said none of the aid delivered by the pier has reached Palestinians. It cost the United States $320 milliion dollars. Today, it broke apart and sank. The pier, that is. https://x.com/clashreport/status/1795146849772351576

I tend to agree. I think Russia is also dictatorship in a practical sense. However, Russia recently held "democratic" elections. You and I both think it's a sham, so we have democratic elections yet still not have a government that serves the best interests of its citizens. Or, you can dispense with the elections altogether and the notion that we support the "good guys" because of "democracy". Can we say this conflict is not about "freedom and democracy"? That's the nature of any foreign diplomatic relationship. Treaties, peace deals, economic agreements, contract, etc, etc, etc. One side never fully knows what the other is really up to. It's just the nature of deals and negotiations. There's always an inherent risk.

Univ of Minnesota: US Department of Health of Human Services is purchasing 4.8 million doses of Bird Flu vaccine. "Feds eye triggers for deploying vaccine O'Connell added that active discussions are under way across federal agencies about what the key triggers would be for deploying H5N1 vaccine doses. She also said discussions are still under way with mRNA vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna, with an announcement expected soon on how the companies might be involved in vaccine development." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/hhs-advances-plan-produce-48-million-h5n1-vaccine-doses

Is it better to fight someone with a strategic and tactical advantage or negotiate with them? According to the articles, Russia says it will not negotiate with Zelensky as his term ended on 20 May. Ukraine was a democracy until May 19, but is now operating under martial law indefinitely as a military dictatorship.
