Joe Biden mourns death of Nex Benedict, LGBTQ+ teen who died by suicide

The Russian C-141A....

I gotta admit, this one rocks!!

Where did you get the claim this Il-76 was shot down? All indications are one of the aircraft's engines caught fire during takeoff for a routine flight and it crashed while attempting to land at Ivanovo-Severny airfield. The January loss near the Ukrainian border in Russia's Korochansky district in Belgorod Oblast did appear to be a shootdown, allegedly caused by Patriot or IRIS missiles fired by the Ukrainian Army. An external impact was reported by the crew before the crash. The Ukrainians denied the claim.

What about Oprah?!? 🤪

Since we're talking UPT patches, has anyone got a spare one of these? Looking for a bud in Slovakia...

Spin... Fact Focus: Biden falsely accused of secret flights for hundreds of thousands of immigrants In his Super Tuesday victory speech, former President Donald Trump elevated false information that had gone viral on social media, claiming the Biden administration secretly flew hundreds of thousands of migrants into the United States. Many posts sharing the claim referred to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for immigration restrictions. It said the administration refused to list individual airports where people arrived under a Biden “parole” program that allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to stay in the U.S. for two years. U.S. Customs and Border Protection each month publishes the number of migrants admitted under the program by nationality. This information is available on its website and in press releases. It does not list arriving airports. But migrants are not being flown into the U.S. randomly. Under a Biden policy in effect since January 2023, up to 30,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can enter the country monthly if they apply online with a financial sponsor and arrive at a specified airport, paying their own way. Biden exercised his “parole” authority, which, under a 1952 law, allows him to admit people “only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”...

'SEAL Team' Writer Sues CBS, Paramount for Hiring Discrimination Against Being Straight, Male and White "SEAL Team" script coordinator and freelance scriptwriter Brian Beneker sued CBS and its parent company Paramount Global, accusing them of racial discrimination against straight, white men. In a legal document filed Thursday in California federal court and obtained by TheWrap, Beneker said he filed the lawsuit because the companies "repeatedly" discriminated against him by "denying him employment and extending job opportunities to him based on his race, sex and sexual orientation in favor of less qualified applicants who were members of preferred groups." Beneker, who identifies as a "white, heterosexual male," explained that he's been consistently writing episodes for "SEAL Team" and was denied a staff writer position with the show at a time when there were job openings available. The suit goes on to say that CBS and Paramount hired and promoted "favored" "nonwhite," "LGBTQ" or "female" writers, despite those writers lacking "experience and screenwriting credits"... Of course, being gay would help develop plots (STS)...

From his own Facebook page... Quick story on the photo on the left. This is where I felt absolutely disgusting and realized I couldn’t continue living the way I was. Nothing is altered or morphed or photoshopped, so yes I had a pudgy gut and deflated arms. - A month after that photo was when I started my journey in the summer of getting back to my “Swole” self. This included 2 hours of cardio roughly a day mostly in a hot garage with long sleeves/hoodies and sweatpants with stomach wrapped. This was to get rid of the gut/waist. Gyms were still closed so I did push-ups against a steel chair and lateral raises with 5 lb car jack stands. I also fasted 24 hours during the weeks which I admit was crazy unhealthy but I did what I had to because I just wanted the fat to go away. (Not recommended) - September 11th I got COVID and recovered fine and dandy by the Ares Annual Party we had right after my birthday at the end of September. - October 2020 was my first day with my foot back into an actual gym since July 2019. Barely moving any weighed, gassed after 30 mins, and taking a ego hit realizing all the size I lost. Since then my foot has been on the pedal and I haven’t stopped chasing my dreams of being the best bodybuilder and Danny I can be. - It’s possible to come back from a slump and ultimate low point. The hardest part of it is the mental fence, barrier that you have to climb. You have to be okay and right with yourself before you can pursue and make any drastic/big changes. - I’m forever thankful for the gym, and everyone that’s supported me during my comeback story, and all the lowest of lows. I WILL continue to be better. In ALL ASPECTS.

The uncensored video can be found online but I don't recommend watching it, it's very disturbing! I know most on here have seen worse, but this is just extremely tough to stomach! I believe he's either heavily drugged or brainwashed (or both). He remained standing and screaming much longer than the average human could endure. Having a son near his age, I can only imagine the nightmare his family is going through right now!

The memes from this have been absolutely brutal!

Space: 1999 seemed so futuristic and far away! Now it's what USSF aspires to be!! 🤣🤣🤣

Not a part of the Army Aviation community, but know a few who are and shared the following... 38 crew members and 18 aircraft lost to training accidents in a year, to include two this past Friday in Mississippi. Technical failures are accounting for <2% of Class A mishaps. You can’t have quality IERW (Initial Entry Rotary Wing) graduates when 100% make it through the training. Poor leadership and failures to enforce standards are the root causes. U S Army failing year after year to make their recruiting numbers, so it’s just doubling down on the issue. Novosel (Rucker) has not been resolving... Army Aviation is definitely having issues at the moment!

Already being discussed in the "WOKE' thread...

Concur. Been to the 8AF museum years ago as I grew up just south of there in Jacksonville. While it's worth a stop, I don't see making a special trip to do so. The SAC Museum is really cool, I got a chance to visit it the last time I was at Offutt in late 2021. Definitely worth the time and effort. But the best is the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson. Simply an awesome collection of planes, and the 390th Bomb Group Museum was a bonus as I visited Framlingham toward the end of my UK tour back in 1984!!

My guess is they're talking about US gun owners...

I'm more surprised anyone has that kind of money to spend on ammo! That's $250+ for 5.56...
