The difference on the board between R's and D's is that the R's are willing to call out and name their retards. The D's defend their retards and/or don't recognize that they're retarted. That's the difference on this board. It plays out on a larger scale as well.6 points

I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust. A really good article I hope folks will take a moment to read. I grew up listening to NPR and the author, an admitted Sarah Lawrence–educated, raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, drives a Subaru, and his Spotify says his listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley - details how the network has failed to report accurately on three major news stories (Russia Collusion report, Hunter Biden Laptop, and The Origins of COVID), because it would have been beneficial to the GOP. He also describes how the network became activist after the George Floyd killing, making race and identity paramount to everything they did. Interestingly when he presented his story/argument to his colleagues the answer was "So what." NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law and that should end.2 points

Here’s a thought on the topic of hypocrisy…this individual, who claims to be so pious and devout, has her head shoved completely up the ass of a man who is both a wanton misogynist and an adulterer…but you could say the same for the majority of the evangelical right.2 points

Another month another higher than expected inflation report...All that free money...As Biden attempts to buy younger votes with student loan forgiveness, inflation goes up. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% over the previous month and 3.5% over the prior year in March, an acceleration from February's 3.2% annual gain. Anyway, bonds are way up, the 10-year Treasury yield gained as much as 14 basis points on Wednesday morning, touching above 4.5% for the first time in 2024.1 point

I could also say bricks are edible, that doesn't make it true. Why do you associate Trump with evangelicals? That's a false association. Did some vote for him? Yup. Do some evangelicals also vote for Biden? Yup. That's like associating Democrats with BLM. While there is a connection, it's tenuous at best and therefore inappropriate in any rational debate. Put down the paint roller and pick up the detail brush.1 point

As a matter of fact, I visited one of the WB pilots (who is a good friend) from that flight earlier today. Great story on how they did that 2-ship. And funny. Those NASA pilots don't get paid much as compared to commercial pilots... but the job satisfaction sure looks great.1 point

States should most definitely have the option of seceding if they want…if not, there’s not much of a “union”, is there?1 point

You can attempt a Trump deflection all day long, and I get it both sides have issues, but the Democrats have the preponderance of retards. There is no possible argument.1 point

So many questions. Such as: How have we not thought of this before?! Who else is going to educate and train the Martians in guerilla warfare against the occupying Chinese?1 point

OPSEC!!!! When Col. Bill Grimes wrote “The History of BIG SAFARI” he went through the proper requirements and it was approved for public release by WPAFB Public Affairs under Case Number: 88ABW-2013-1703, Disposition Date: 12 Apr 2013 The mission Danger41 mentions against the Iraqi Kari Radar systems is covered in the book.1 point

Gen Austin Miller made the call, although Biden & Blinken put him in a box: they imposed a troop cap which made staffing BAF along with the embassy/HKIA impossible. Then Blinken said we cannot withdraw from the embassy due to optics, ergo BAF must close. And because they were unimaginative and underestimated the enemy, they assumed GIRoA could hold out until 2022. Miller pushed back but ultimately saluted and executed. He should have resigned instead. McKenzie, the COCOM/CC, took command from Miller (meaning the COCOM absorbed what had been its own 4 star command, you can imagine how butter smooth that COMREL change was) in July of 21 I believe, after BAF was handed over and when the assault on the outskirts of Kabul began in earnest. He failed to take any bold action although several of us were sending very clear recommendations and security warnings. By early August it was an insane situation: the Taliban was moving openly in large formations massing artillery and supplies as close as Maiden Shar and all ANA checkpoints on Highway 1 had fallen. Camp Commando had fallen. We were going Winchester and not slowing them down; our own FIRES process was complicated by surrendering ANA personnel and enemy use of their (our) equipment /uniforms. The AAF ran out of munitions and ceased flight operations. I landed in HKIA after one sortie and stated clearly: we must initiate the NEO now. The front office for the 2 star in Kabul (senior US Officer in country) told me “not possible, the Turks won’t allow it.” The Turks were running HKIA at the time. 3 days later the Turks were burning all their papers and excess equipment as they ran to their own aircraft to escape the fall. A lot to digest from the experience. My biggest surprise has been that absolutely no one higher wants to hear about it. There was no AAR, no hot wash, no internal mil attempt to investigate and figure out where it broke down. Just sweep it all under the rug, too embarrassing. The AF history guys did a quick report, although it was mainly focused on the 2.5 week mobility surge and they didn’t even know my unit existed. My AAR is now in their secret addendum, but the document is shortsighted by exclusively focusing on the evacuation rather than how the hell we allowed July-Aug to ever occur. Without any accountability and with the same idiots in charge, we should unfortunately expect another epic strategic humiliation.0 points
