Yeah, you'll need a Facebook account to watch, but it's worth it! https://www.facebook.com/b17TexasRaiders/videos/4621187134603306 Here's a screen shot...

My compliments to both of you! It's nice to see some civility on here!

Major Construction Underway At Three Of China's Airbases Closest To Taiwan "China is upgrading three airbases located opposite Taiwan, boosting its airpower capability in an already tense region that is flush with air combat capabilities. Construction of the new infrastructure began in early 2020 and continued uninterrupted through the pandemic, underlining its priority. The work at the Chinese air force's bases at Longtian, Huian, and Zhangzhou, all of which lie between 100 and 200 miles from Taiwan, give it an enhanced forward presence near the Taiwan Strait. This, when coupled with the flurry of flights through Taiwan’s ADIZ, all appear to be in line with Beijing’s evolving aggressive posture towards the island nation..."

Yep, we had the same issue when going TDY to Alaska in August. Not only were cars tough to find, they were also quite expensive!

Well, to be fair, about a third of Colorado, over half of New Mexico and even some of Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming were Texas at one point; so we're just taking back territory...

ADMIN NOTE: No, we're not cool with it. In fact, I just removed several posts that violated the rule of keeping things civil. Consider this a fair warning to all involved, KIO on the personal attacks as the next time I see such posts I will do more than just remove them. Either stick to the topic at hand, or move on to other threads; but there will be no more warnings!

Better than being attacked by a Ninja at Inyokern !

Concur. Merged, thanks!

So is this OK?

I am waiting for the first Federal court challenge to Texas' new suppressor law which went into effect on 1 Sep... https://americansuppressorassociation.com/asa-statement-texas-silencer-legislation-hb-957/ https://thetexan.news/texas-made-suppressors-still-subject-to-federal-law-atf-warns/ Speaking of which, House Bill 1927 which authorizes Constitutional Carry in Texas, meaning law-abiding Texans can legally carry a handgun without a license to carry, also went into effect this past Wednesday! God bless Texas!

Biden wasn't looking at his watch, he was seeing if he still had blood on his hands...

So standing your ground makes a person a "bully?!?" If so, we need more bullies! You are suggesting he ever started in the first place?!?

https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA519105.pdf p.s. I just noticed Bergman trumped me by a half hour. Still, Fogleman's story needs to be told for those who don't know! Berg was spot on about the man, he spoke at my SOS class and he was a no nonsense, straight-to-the-point leader. A rare breed!

Sorry, too bored/not bothered to read through all these posts. I found all the rational thought I needed when Mike Rowe commented...

It's not "some bases," any bases in "areas of substantial or high community transmission" per the latest DoD policy effective 28 July 2021... If you want to find out if you're included in this buffoonery, here is the CDC website that will tell you which counties are "areas of substantial or high community transmission"... https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view

You mean like gun laws?!? C'mon, be smarter than that!

Another reason to steer clear of crazy...
