I can't fathom why everyone hates AOC! I think she's very friendly with Taylor Swift!

Well, no shit! Prolific insight from everyone's favorite barista! AOC goes live on Instagram saying many who want Joe Biden to drop out of race also want to remove Kamala Honestly, I can't fathom why everyone hates her! I think she's very friendly with Taylor Swift! (See WTF? (*NSFW**) thread for details!)

Ain't in the GAL, if that means anything...

@Skitzo, was this you? 🤣🤣🤣

Can anyone confirm its authenticity?

Sounds like him... "I fired one round at it," he said in the footage. "They say I hit it so I must be a good shot, or else it's not that far away ... I'm going to wind up having to find a real good defense lawyer."

I bet Gavin Newsom is smiling like the cocksucker he is right now!

This should be an interesting (and most likely very quiet) weekend in Aggieland! 🤣🤣

I'm just glad A&M didn't win as I'll be in Aggieland this weekend and I already can barely stand the place!

This probably belongs in the 'WTF?' thread...

Anyone shoot a PSA Jakl yet? They've got my interest... https://palmettostatearmory.com/jakl.html

It worked for the Russians/Soviets!

A hundred years ago today, at 8:30pm on 18 June 1924, McCook Field chief test pilot John Macready departed Dayton, heading for Columbus, in a 2-seat biplane to test out nighttime navigation beacons. On the return around 10:15pm, his engine died as he was nearing Dayton. Luckily for him, he had turned down his wife’s request to join him on the flight, a privilege pilots were only recently afforded. The darkness prevented him from finding a safe emergency landing spot, leaving little choice but to “hit the silk.” Fortunately, the engineers at McCook had developed the Air Service’s first standardized parachutes and its commander mandated that every pilot wear one. His colleague Harold Harris had become the first “save” of those the previous fall. Macready bailed out, landed in some trees, and became the latest member of the “Caterpillar Club.” He lived to continue his distinguished career, which had already included being the first to fly cross-country non-stop in 1923 (Macready shown here before that flight), taking 26 hours.

Sixty years ago yesterday (17 June 1964), the squat, stubby Chance-Vought/LTV XC-142A vertical and short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft (pictured) had its rollout ceremony at the Ling-Temco-Vought plant in Dallas, Texas. Lauded for its ability to lift off and land like a helicopter before transforming into an airplane that could—as papers at the time described it—“fly at speeds faster than World War II fighters” (maximum speed was 400 mph, and cruising speed was about 235 mph), the experimental aircraft was heavily tested by the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and NASA, but never entered into production. The only surviving XC-142A—a forerunner of the V-22 Osprey—can today be seen at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. (Photo: NMUSAF)

If the government can have them... And what if civil aircraft were next, would you be willing to hand yours over if told to?

Did the Founding Fathers consider radio, television, computers, the Internet, etc.? Then why isn't the First Amendment impacted by that technology? And if you truly think those running the government are actually smarter than the citizens of this country, you are just as much of a fool!

There shouldn't be a line, none whatsoever, which was the intended purpose of the 2A in the first place. We all should have the opportunity to own whatever we can afford without government restriction. This man is an excellent example of what should be allowed and what I would inspire to be, just without having to jump through the bureaucratic hoops to get it! If you can't see it's a controlling issue by the government, there is no other explanation. Even if all restrictions where lifted, there's no chance civilians would ever be able to own major weaponry that would challenge the Federal government. They just want us to be subjects, something the Founding Fathers were very experience with and wanting to avoid in the future. Unfortunately, we've slipped further down that slope over the years; and given their druthers, the Fed would have similar restrictions to civilian weaponry that exists in the UK where a pointy stick can get you in trouble!

Well, Russell Brand is backing Trump (something I would have never guessed!)... Russell Brand: If it's a choice between Trump or Biden, only one candidate will protect democracy and freedom Actor and comedian Russell Brand said he finds it difficult to understand why any freedom-loving American would choose to vote for President Biden over former President Trump in the upcoming election. In a new episode of his podcast "Stay Free with Russell Brand," scheduled to premiere on Friday, Brand sat down with model, author and RNC spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko for a wide-ranging interview in which the pair discussed Trump's trial and subsequent conviction. "In a straight choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don’t know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can’t," he told Pipko...(full article at title link)

Yeah, Miami has a lot to be proud of! University of Miami Fraternity Under Investigation after Hazing Video Goes Viral

Air Force 2-star accused of sexual assault won’t be allowed to retire An Air Force two-star general who sought to retire in lieu of facing court-martial on sexual assault and other charges has had his request denied. Maj. Gen. Phillip Stewart is scheduled to appear in military court June 17 at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. Stewart in January filed paperwork with Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall asking to retire as his case was headed to arraignment, but that request was denied in February, Sherilyn Bunn, one of Stewart’s civilian lawyers, told Air Force Times... (full story at title link) p.s. Stewart will be tried by a jury of his "peers" — a panel of two-, three- and four-star generals who have served in uniform at least as long as he has.
