"Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people. And uniting our nation." President Joe Biden, Jan 20, 2021 So glad POTUS honored his campaign pledge last night and attempted to reunite the nation.

All of the spending is ridiculous. it’ll bite our ass someday in the near future…

So is what you are saying we are trying to hit a random moving target with our ambiguous selection criteria because the composition of the US is changing? Nsplayer. Please explain why the military needs to match the skin color and genitalia percentages of our country? Why it matters more than combat effectiveness or capability? Also how is preferring one demographic of skin color over another or gender not racist or sexist?

Let’s just make sure we have an equivalent officer core of fatties and handicapped, we wouldn’t want to be fat phobic or ablest. Let’s ensure we retain those with severe psychological problems as well because #Fairness or we could focus on attracting people who value victory and know how to fight.

Chump change compared to the $240 Billion for student loan relief, and a much better use of tax dollars imho. Afterthought: student loan relief should only be given for those that travel to Ukraine to assist. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kind of makes you want to give a good 'ol fashioned "Heil FJB" to the Fuhrer der Demenz.

We're back up. https://breakingdefense.com/2022/09/exclusive-air-force-clears-cv-22-ospreys-to-fly-after-2-week-safety-shutdown/

Imagine if people put this much thought and effort into flying their aircraft vs making sure we have enough minorities or women with dicks leading us into combat.

That’s not what he meant to say, just ask Prozac.

'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,'

We don't have teachers' unions here in South Carolina and yet there is the same craziness. I would say that in addition to teachers' unions, teacher's colleges are as much of a problem.

^ this is fair, but I’m also not sure that’s what the OP meant. If so…as I was!

In this case, somebody hired off of merit would not look like they were reading statements from a book. They would look like somebody professional enough to think on their feet and talk extemporaneously with honesty about the questions that are asked, not somebody who spends 80% of every briefing reading pre-written notes that may or may not answer the actual question. Count the number of “umms” and “ahhhs” and tell me the average undergrad communications major couldn’t do better. Psaki was a liar but at least she looked competent at speaking in public.

Someone who was hired on merit wouldn't struggle so much with incredibly predictable questions.

I think you can currently hire this person to "clean your house" on Craigslist.

White House asking for 13 billion more for Ukraine. enough.

Isn’t it impossible to make the percentages of skin color and gender when you can change how you identify at any given moment? Gotta believe that’s a little difficult. But we should spend our treasure and time to try to do it. Who cares about doing military type things.

The First Order style red and dark background was an interesting aesthetic choice.

Came straight off the US census website fact sheet, which is odd now because now I want to know where the data discrepancy is since this fact sheet was updated for 2020 census. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045221

I'm confused by this, can you explain what you mean? What does someone look like who got hired out of merit? I kinda thought the idea was that merit was unrelated to what you looked like but maybe you have a different philosophy and I'd like to learn more about it.

I posted this in the airline thread a few days ago...others have since said it was debunked.

The unions are bad, but worse is just the overall culture of education. From elementary school to doctoral degrees, the culture is generally far more liberal than the surrounding community would warrant. The left made a concerted effort to take over the education system in the 60s and it paid off big time for them.

Just a thought, but in that scenario they’ll still have a border to protect and a neighbor with a history of continuing to meddle even after things are “settled.” UKR would be strapped for cash yes, but I’d think they’d have a compelling interest in retaining whatever self defense capability they held. I’m thinking more along the lines of Israel after Nickel Grass.

UFB!!! Instead of being appalled the teachers union doubled down and told teachers they should not speak with "non-vetted" reporters.

Summary: What rational person wants to go into combat and depend on leadership or fellow airmen, soldiers, sailors, or marines selected for non-warrior criteria that could get you killed.

Just a reminder that these people had parents who opposed LGBT curriculum that included graphic depictions of oral sex branded as "domestic terrorists" by the FBI. https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/doj-memo-which-compared-parents-to-terrorists-allegedly-requested-by-education-secretary-miguel-cardona-national-school-board-association-white-house-education-deparment-justice-marrick-garland-nsba-school-board-domestic-doj-doe

**message end** … rest of what you wrote valid, but you nailed it in your first sentence. Time to move out and onward. I will say this… a year at the Deid sucks…but I didn’t miss the constant political BS around every news or media corner. You could just bury your head in CAOC queep . Granted…I’m now back home on Cap Hill…so I’ll punch myself in the nuts for that one. Scooter…wake up it’s meeting time. ATIS

Trump's lunatic call to re-reinstated is laughable, he needs to just go away. However, the truth is slowly coming out and it is becoming ever more clear elements within the FBI put their fingers on the election scale by purposely suppressing/discrediting the Hunter Biden Laptop. If the multiple whistleblowers who have come forward are to be believed there is good reason two top FBI agents resigned after allegedly purposely thwarting an investigation of the laptop. Did anyone see the Mark Zuckerberg segment on Joe Rogan where he says the FBI came to warn him of a misinformation dump that was about to occur, the shocking part is the FBI already had the laptop at that point...they knew it was real. There is most certainly some rot in the once hallowed halls of the FBI.

Holy shit. Mark the tapes. I actually agree with BasiChuni on something!

Some -130 action.

The looting continues. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/02/1120746237/white-house-ukraine-covid-19-monkeypox-supplemental-funding
