  1. Biden promises the Border Patrol agents “will pay” and “there will be consequences” for the alleged whipping that even the photographer said was “misconstrued.” Meanwhile a drone strike kills 10 civilians including 7 children and it’s a “tragic mistake.” Good times. Glad the adults are back in charge.
  2. I'm not much of a Twitter user, and honestly thought the above Tweet must be some kind of photoshop or otherwise fake. After all, it's the US Food and Drug Administration, right? A federal agency with a $3.2 Billion (!!!) budget. You'd expect their official Twitter account to be more, I dunno, official? Went on Twitter and scrolled back to August, and sure enough, the above is legit. This guys Tweet below more or less sums up my thoughts. Honestly, how can anyone take anything from the .gov seriously these days?
  3. Shop around for doctors. This is easier if you have money (ref. Joe Rogan and his controversial treatment plan). Plus, the active ingredient may be the same, but the inactive ingredients might not. At least when taking (any med) under medical supervision, there's a trained person to help weigh the positives and negatives of any drug you're taking, and to adjust as needed. Or, you know, don't hang out in crowds, mask up, and vaccinate as front line defenses for your health, things we know at least provides a 95% solution that will work for most people. I'll even throw in things like vitamins, which don't have as strong of a backing in the medical community (varies by the provider), but may help (or at a minimum, unlikely to harm at normal doses). Then if you get sick and want to go off label and take unproven or unorthodox measures, have at it. Most doctors aren't willing to deviate from medical norms/guidance from boards/associations/FDA/CDC, unless they are doing their own research and study, which takes time they might not have, especially if their patient load is high.
  4. It’s called the D.E.N.N.I.S system:
  5. You forgot document things for VA disability.
  6. That's crazy talk.
  7. Exactly. I laugh when someone tells me that ABC, Wash Post, etc are “balanced/non-partisan”. Progressives are clearly against enforcing border security and immigration laws, so if they have the opportunity to paint the false story that border patrol law enforcement officers were using scary horses and whipping a poor/defenseless black man who wasn’t doing anything wrong, then they’re going to do it…especially when they can tie it to slavery and “systemic racism” in law enforcement. The people who run these “news” outlets want this story to be true (along with the majority of their readers/viewers), so they’re going to report that way, facts be damned. By the way, MSNBC has been doing this for years…see the link below if you forgot/never caught this one: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2011/08/17/original-msnbc-host-paints-rick-perry-as-racist-n662043
  8. Exactly…they’ll never see us coming!
  9. Here’s what it comes down to and there is no refuting this: If you work in the federal government and take legitimate action while carrying out the duties of your job, if the optics and/or politics of what you did is politically bad for the administration, you will be blamed/not protected, especially if it can help the administration save some face. Let me know if you need an example.
  10. Stupid concept. It’s imaginary money, doesn’t exist until the stock is cashed in. Could be assessed for $50M and then be worth $500 when you have to pay up. Edit add: they also paint buying and holding of stocks as some evil thing super rich people do. No, that’s just a normal thing people do.
  11. Honest question: is this enough of a threat/issue that it warrants not funding something that's applicable to the high end fight/peer fight? Not saying that funding issues always need to be an either/or but I'd venture a guess that our defense budgets will be flat to slightly decreasing going forward. For external VEO actors looking to execute the above scenario, is the vast increase in various intelligence collection and fusion (admittedly improvements in the second area is easily debatable) to ID/foil these types of attacks not enough of a defense? Then we still have the current alert commitment for the worst case scenario (not a pointy nosed guy so I can't speak at all to prosecuting an intercept against C-172 with an F-15/16).
  12. Not an easy problem to solve, most of the people intercepted are stooging along VFR when they bust into a TFR because they didn't check the NOTAMs or do any preflight planning.
  13. Lol. Sorry I’m late to the online party.
  14. https://news.yahoo.com/biden-ignore-us-reporters-amid-222227885.html Boris Johnson starts answering questions from the press. Team Biden then removes all press from the room. The clown show continues in the White House. But hey, at least the VP has the border under control. Oh wait…
  15. I mean.....he's not wrong....might have to around and move to china.....the wokery is killing me....lol
  16. Probably you should post a photo or two of her so everyone can decide for themselves.
