Donald Jr doesn’t look drunk. It’s just an unflattering snapshot taken while he was talking. Meanwhile, Hunter’s teeth have rotted away due to hard core drug abuse. Good old meth mouth. I can’t get past the situation with this granddaughter. The American people would love to see Joe stand up behind a podium and say that his son has another daughter and that he understands the situation isn’t ideal but that the Bidens will love her and accept her anyway. A moment like that would go pretty damn far for him morally, politically, etc. But nope. They spend huge sums of money on attorneys trying to deny this child in every way possible. It’s disgusting and it’s despicable.

Story comes from Elmer Bendiner’s 1980 memoir, The Fall of the Fortresses, based on some light research. Googling the aircraft led to a facebook post about recovering the tail gun that had a comment with the story below about the aircrafts ultimate end it would seem. The crew of an 8th Air Force B-17 has been recovered from a crash site in the Harwich Estuary. The wreckage of B17G Flying Fortress 43-37516 'Tondalayo' was recovered from the River Stour by the US Army CHLLI team, led by Major Todd Heussner, and assisted by Royal Navy clearance divers. The sole objective was to recover the remains of the aircraft's missing pilot and co- pilot, Lt Col Earle J. Aber & Lt Maurice J. Harper. Both men perished on the night of March 4th 1945, when their aircraft was shot down by British anti- aircraft defences .The tragedy unfolded around 9.15pm, when the Tondalayo , returning from a leaflet drop on Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht, was crossing inland over the east coast. At the same time two enemy aircraft, homeward bound after a sneak raid, were heading easterly at a lower altitude, which no doubt confused the defenders. At 12,000 feet, over Clacton-on-Sea, exploding shells set the aircraft alight in the area of the waist gun positions, severing control cables and injuring the Bombardier, Lt Connie Morton., who sustained injuries to his eyes and right leg. The aircraft rapidly descended to 8,000 feet, and was heading for an emergency landing at Woodbridge when the aircraft was hit again, crippling her further and this time injuring the tail gunner. It was at this point the 'bail out' order was given. All the crew abandoned the aircraft apart from Aber and Harper. Captain Stonerock (navigator) was the last crewman through the hatch at 5,000ft, and later reported that both Aber and Harper had their harnesses on, but not their chutes, so it can only be assumed that they had insufficient time or altitude to do so. This all matt black special operations aircraft was attached to the 406th Night Leaflet Squadron based at Cheddington, and was the personal aircraft of the unit's commander, Lt Col Aber, being retained by him when the squadron converted to Liberators. Aber was on his 51st mission when he was shot down. Lt Harper had flown Spitfires with the RCAF, before volunteering for a tour on 'Heavies.' Recovery work began on June 9th 2000, when a salvage barge was positioned on the crash site located on the low tide mark off Wrabness. First attempts at clearing the mud from the site using giant vacuum hoses were soon abandoned due to technical difficulties, primarily with pumps and filters becoming clogged by heavy clay in which the wreckage lay. The recovery continued with a large tracked excavator. The operator worked blindly as the site was only visible for short periods of time. A vast quantity of wreckage was eventually recovered using this method. Parts included one of the aircraft's Cyclone engines together with several super chargers, propeller blades and an undercarriage leg. It was established that the entire tail section and rear fuselage was compressed into little more than eight feet, all of which was painstakingly worked through and sorted until the remains of Lt Col Aber and Lt Harper were found in the area of the bomb bay. Work finally ceased on June 28th when it was thought that sufficient remains of both men had been found. DNA tests later carried out at the US Army Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii proved their identity. Both men now share a joint grave in Arlington National Cemetery, with Colonel Aber having an additional grave at Cambridge in the American Cemetery. Pilot Lt.

The Royal Air Force has officially retired its C-130 fleet after 56 years of operation. The final C-130Js (Mk 4 and 5) were retired 30 June 2023. No 47 Squadron completed a farewell flypast over the entire country, including the Mach Loop. Interestingly, they could not return to RAF Brize Norton as planned...because the runway was melting from the extreme high temperatures. One of RAF C-130Js was sold to the US Navy and converted to the new Fat Albert for the Blue Angels.

So if you didn’t want to go to war in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein, were you in the camp of appeasing murderous dictators? Or does this only work certain murderous dictators? Another point—you can be anti-Putin and anti-supporting Ukraine with (what seems) an endless huge amount of taxpayer money/arms.

Babylon Bee FTW!

100% agree, how does this family punish a child. Denying her existence, denying her the Biden name, telling White House Spokesman to say he only has 6 grandchildren...I would expect that from her crackhead father, but Joe who supposedly has defended his son out of "fatherly love", punishes a child and turns his back on her. What a horrible human.

Equivocations and Whataboutisms, I'm certain.

I don’t think you’re informed as well as you think you are. I’m not guaranteeing anything by any means, but there’s plenty of good, objective reasons to put CAS at the bottom of the priority list right now. TACPs don’t even give a shit about CAS anymore (e.g. low priority), that should tell you something.

It's almost, almost, as if this entire thing were entirely predictable! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strange_Death_of_Europe

Some of the far left media is already trying to spin this as just “right wing” hysteria…you tell me. EXCLUSIVE: Cross-dressing gunman behind July 4 Philly bloodbath that left five dead is BLM supporter who made chilling Facebook posts about 'black massacres' and 'evil spirits' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12264195/PICTURED-Cross-dressing-gunman-July-4-Philly-bloodbath-left-five-dead-BLM-supporter.html?fbclid=IwAR2PytR33OHEwC56M_bW7wJLcDx27iwFA6-lrQEq_W1j81oFEhLhLNlO63k_aem_AZw-diFzG7zGWBzhS0779LWv8nQFQa43NkvNq3OLBbOxwj887CBwx2OlcV4Pu3b7tVY&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Oof, you just dug up the memory of the years I spent notching ancestor worship of those who resemble the remark. And the DFCs they got for repaving empty valleys from low-earth orbit. As I've said... Tumon Bay was my Vietnam. I returned with honor, mostly. 😄

Being less effective at the most likely war and losing it results in more S-head people in S-hole places continuing to do S-actions. Being less effective and losing the most dangerous one results in us either picking through the ashes for our daily meal or celebrating Glorious Leader’s birthday. I know which one I’d call higher stakes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I shot mine down at Tyndall years back, after about one second after pickle it went to the moon, never to be seen again. 😆

You’re right. Appeasing murderous dictators is a much better, historically proven strategy.

Russia and Ukraine/NATO are both blaming each other today for an attack on the nuke plant. ...that hasn't even happened yet. Both are saying the attack is imminent. Place your bets on who will be responsible. I think it'll be Russia. They love it when nuclear plumes are carried over the motherland by prevailing westerly winds almost as much as they love destroying their own 12 Billion dollar pipelines.

Apparently, the U-2 disinformation campaign at the UPT bases is alive and well. To cut to the chase: - The U-2 Program is hiring. There are no plans to not hire. If anyone tells you otherwise, irrespective of their rank, they are not telling you the truth. - The U-2 Program is accepting FAIP's. We have accepted FAIPS for at least 35 years, and there are no plans to stop hiring FAIPs. If anyone tells you otherwise, irrespective of their rank, they are not telling you the truth. - We now have some wiggle room on minimum hours. So if that is a concern, call us. We might be able to waive some of your hours. I don't know if this bad info emanates from the staff... or from UPT SQ/CC's (like it did a number of years ago)... or from exactly where. If you want the truth about the U-2 assignment, don't speak to your DO, nor your commander. Don't speak to AFPC (until it's time to get released, anyways). Don't speak to your buddy at Base X that "thought about applying, but found out a bunch of bad stuff." So who do you speak to? I'll get you in touch with the Recruiters, so contact me. One recruiter is a Reservist and I don't want to put his personal contact info in this post (he isn't on his govt email that much). Maj Beamer moved and a new active duty recruiter is settling in. Contact me privately for their contact info. As for me, I'm on the Global as Jonathan Huggins. Or you can pm me here. I'm out on leave for a few weeks and won't be checking email until mid July, so ping me here if it is time critical. If you want U-2 facts, go to the source. That source is centered in a room that measures about 40x15 in the zip code of 95903. If the person you're talking to doesn't have a desk within 22 meters of that room, take what they say with a grain of salt.

This is the best summary of the fraud being perpetrated upon US citizens I have seen to date. Max Blumenthal delivering remarks at the UN. Best vid you'll see this week. The first Twitter link is captioned.

Stupid tweet bro, no one was attacked (except the homeless man) or sexually assaulted 🤷‍♂️

It's not disingenuous. Maybe not you personally, but you know damn well there's a large number of people who are against trans athletes simply out of bigotry and are not open to any compromise or regulations to make the game more fair at all. No one in their right mind thinks Lebron James should be able to go to the WNBA overnight. But if the right amount of treatment is done to minimize the advantage to as little as possible or ideally 0, then who cares? And it's worth noting that it's only ever trans women that seem to get the hate. Would you really want a trans man to compete in women's sports just because they were born a biological women? Of course not, that wouldn't be fair

You fucking war whores are so tiresome

You call it appeasing. I call it poking the bear in the eye acting shocked it bites your hand. Keep feeding that military industrial complex $$$ like a good drone you are

Says the guy spreading Putin’s propaganda for him. SMH 🤦‍♂️

i'm for the US taking a role to end this conflict peacefully. hardly the putin propaganda. seems like you're a slave to the US propaganda and lack critical thinking skills. sad.
