  1. CNBCTrump storms out of interview after being challenged abou...The president said he would like to see the weaponization fund proceed despite setbacks.He's starting to flail. Just goes to show how no matter what's going on or what he's doing, at his core his ego cannot be controlled. Literally nobody gives a shit about January 6th or his nonsensical election fraud claims, yet he keeps bringing up these losing topics because he can't stand the idea that there are any losses whatsoever.

    I’m not sure it was appropriate during a Memorial Day speech, but 10,000,000 illegals coming through (most completely unvetted) in 4 years is definitely an invasion. Mayorkas should spend his remaining days in a federal (max security - no frills - death row type) prison.

    Just following Ukraine's lead...They used successfully used an automated robot over a month ago to recover a trapped and wounded soldier. The robot survived two mine strikes and safely brought the soldier home.

    As a prime contractor, turned DoD Civ, turned prime contractor the federal civilians who hate contractors are the ones who would never get hired by one since they’re worthless. Those are the ones DOGE should’ve rid from the civil service.

    It's always the management causing the issues. I've worked with engineers from all the main contractors. Some got more of the 'tism than I care to interact with, but they're working hard for the nation. It's always the damn managers, and execs, that delay, ask for more money, etc. Also, some gov civs fucking hate contractors even if they're kicking ass, solving problems, and creating/improving capes. That was a new one for me in my brief time in DoD contracting.

    Drone boat rescued two US aviators after their Army helicopter went down near the Strait of Hormuz - Anchorage Daily News Home | Saronic Technologies Part of the brave new world. I would think the USCG would be heavily into using these as well.

  10. I posted about this story somewhere in the forum, but some follow up. Story is about a father that drove to chase down a dude that took his daughter. Caught up, scuffle, shots, abducter dead. Father arrested, charged, then his dashcam memory card that captured the encounter goes missing. He decides to run for sheriff, wins the primary against the incumbent. AR Supreme court replaces judge. New judge just dismissed the charges. Sheriff then fires the detective on the case. I think he'll become the next Sheriff. Hollywood next. Judge dismisses murder charge against Lonoke County sheri...A judge on Thursday dismissed the murder charge against Aaron Spencer, the Republican nominee for Lonoke County sheriff who killed a man he said sexually abused his teen daughter.

    Another deranged liberal...
  14. I routinely RON in California, and have seen the degradation in multiple cities first hand over the past 5 years, but is this kind of election process that takes a MONTH to complete normal anywhere else? A month to count ballots seems like a ripe breeding ground for fraud to go undetected. https://dp.electionresults.sos.ca.gov/
  15. New studies coming out about building out a Cyber Force. Still working through it, this was an interesting article about it - https://defensescoop.com/2026/06/05/a-cyber-force-without-enlisted-new-report-poses-model-for-standalone-military-cyber-organization/ Of note is they're leading with a Officer, Warrant, Civ and no enlisted force. Study - https://csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/2026-06/260602_Stiefel_Commission_Cyber.pdf?VersionId=pgsvIgJ5pgEwBl0WCFripVqbQeQ7z7eZ

    Pete Hegseth invoking illegal immigration as an “invasion” during a D-day memorial speech. Keeping it classy as always
  18. Given how close the race appears to be, I'm not surprised. It's a detailed thing to make sure the democrat wins by a small enough margin to make it look like there wasn't too much meddling. At least in the Gov race.
  19. You can see the main gear doors are open which tells me some sort of maintenance work was going on and a gear pin wasn't installed.
  20. He should file a claim to Trump's $1.8B slush fund. 🤣
  21. Accurate-ish. Not 9G’s but it is the EX profile.

  23. I bag on the bad cops all the time. I recognize how shitty the job is and mentally draining. Agree that you mostly only see the bad apples on the youtubes but there are enough of them on a pretty consistent basis that it IS an isssue. Saw one last night where cop off duty drives drunk to the theatre, drinks another beer waiting for movie to start. He bought ticket to Star Wars opening night but went into Frozen 2 theatre. Was found passed out with zipper down and handgun resting between his legs. Cops arrested him that night but he spent 365 days on paid admin leave and then when investigation closed, he returned to duty like nothing happened. All that being said, my main issue is with what happens to the bad cops. The general public is always on the hook in even the most blatant cases when it comes to lawsuits. Most of the time in the non-criminal cases, the cop resigns and then hires on somewhere else.

    Today I flew out to visit one of these ift flight academies. I sat down with about 15 of the students off premises. Included in the group were a number of second lieutenant Academy grads and some X enlisted fighter maintenance second lieutenants . So I asked about Duty days and one of the girls said she had been on scheduled duty for 14 straight days. Alll of the students said this was not unusual even though they knew contractually the Flight Academy was supposed to schedule a day off after 7 Days Of scheduled duty. Rarely would any of them go to the scheduling office and demand a day off, either for fear of appearing weak, unmotivated, or because they're just trying to get through the program as quickly as possible. I wonder if any of them realize what the consequences would be if they knowingly flew on the 8th day and had an accident. I personally do not know. Would the Air Force get involved? Would the FAA get involved? I cannot find any FARs that put limits on consecutive days of training for students. All of them agree that the Management areas of this Flight Academy are completely stove piped and never talk to each other, mostly because they don't care. One CFI actually knew that because of the winds , nothing would be accomplished on a particular instrument training fight, but he literally said, "I don't care. I'm 2 hours away from my 1500 for my ATP so we're going." The management and the cfi's literally have no vested interest in the well-being of the Air Force students, it's all about the hours and the money.
  25. Pretty impressive landing roll. Actually a no roll. T/O is incredible as well. I’m not sure the tires even rotated fully.
