Same here and it really changed my thinking...and my brother is a deputy chief of police! I support police officers but it is truly sad that many, including from federal agencies like the FBI, don't know or care about the Constitution or the oath they took to protect and defend it. If anyone is interested I recommend you check out a few channels on Youtube including Audit the Audit which does a great job of breaking down some of the more egregious cases and reviews them with case law. News Now Houston is the "godfather" of first amendment auditors and does a much better job of remaining calm than some of the others that default to screaming at the police. Honor Your Oath is run by Jeff Gray and he is again another one of the calm ones who never insults the police but he does assert his (our) rights. Finally, The Battousai is run by Phillip Turner, his arrest and subsequent lawsuit Turner Versus Driver resulted in a landmark ruling on police conduct.

Once upon a time, the U.S. Senate was called the world’s greatest deliberative body. As envisioned by Thomas Jefferson, there were rules that protected the minority and allowed for thorough debate. Sadly, it appears this current Senate majority cares little for the precedents that earned the U.S. Senate that title. But some caution on their part might be well-advised self-interest; tables have been known to turn. Harry Reid started it...McConnell Jammed it back down their throats and now Schumer toys with the idea of blowing up the legislative filibuster as well, he is potentially poised to first unravel another important — if lesser-known — Senate rule in pursuit of an all-encompassing COVID relief bill under the terms of “budget reconciliation.” Democrats Flirt with Destroying Another Senate Guardrail

He was part of the Obama administration and his approach didn't work then...unless you count flying an airplane full of cash to Iran, allowing them to enrich and signing onto a restrictions we could not verify... Great approach, maybe we should gas up another plane full of cash for the Mullahs.

Biden's Pick for Iran Envoy Resurrects Bitter Debate Over Nuclear Deal Again, I did not like Trump but voted for him because of the damage the alternative would do and that is beginning to manifest itself. Our new point man on Iran is Robert Malley. If you don't now who Robert Malley is you might do a little research. A an admittedly smart Rhodes Scholar, he has “a long track record of sympathy for the Iranian regime” and “animus towards Israel.” When the New York Times publishes that his centrist critics describe him as "overly suspicious of American power and overly sympathetic to foreign actors including Iran and the Palestinians who have deep disputes with the West," you should know we have a problem. I saw his handiwork up close and personal years ago and while I applause his willingness to talk to extreme groups like Hezzbolah because it shakes up the gridlock and the status quote, he leans far to the Iranian side of the argument and is willing to make concessions and agreements that we simply cannot verify with Iran. The think tank he just left to take the position just published a paper saying we should immediately return to the Iran Deal, the problem is the Iranians have already begun enrichment of uranium to 20% purity, which is FAR beyond the allowed limit in the 2015 deal and it the lowest acceptable purity for nuclear weapons. Iran ramps up uranium enrichment and seizes tanker as tensions rise with US We are going to force Israel to go it alone and the result will not be pretty.

BODE, First, thanks for 20 years of service to our nation. Solid advice being presented so far and as mentioned your first stop should be a sit down with your family. Being a commander was always a goal for me and I am humbled I got the chance and only you can answer if the chance at command is worth giving up potential seniority and other freedoms. If you stay and are able to get command you may be really lucky and have the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life, you can not place a value on that experience. I am retired but not an airline pilot, however from the numbers I've seen you will have no problems getting on with an airline once the gates open back up. There is of course risk on that side but the long-term financial reward is very appealing. I would advise you take a long-view approach. Being a commander is something you can't go back and get once you get out. For your own self worth, does the opportunity for command experience outweigh the potential financial stability? If you are looking to hedge your bets do you have the opportunity of turning down IDE and remaining on active duty? I know some will say that is the kiss of death but I can assure you it is not, it truly is situation dependent. I know several folks who turned down IDE and still became squadron commanders, Lt Col's and in one case a BPZ O-6 Group Commander.

I've clearly stated I think climate change is real and we need to do something, but this is not the thing, this is a political stunt that does far more harm than good. I am in favor of actual investments in science not a move that placates the wacky far left and costs thousands of jobs while doing more hard to the environment. How about we use some of that unity we were promised built a real bipartisan national strategy to reduce emissions and convert to renewables before we wreck the American economy. Neither side will be happy int he short-term, but that probably means we have a real solution. Instead we have an out of touch administration playing to the extremes. What a great narrative when John "Climate Change Czar" took his private jet to the climate change summit and said displaced Keystone Pipeline workers "will have better choices” and can “go to work to make the solar panels.” Huh...over 60% of solar panel production is in China...come on man. We are years away from increasing efficiency and increasing large scale solar panel production here in the U.S. at a competitive price point. These people need jobs NOW. Oh and he made those clueless comments while defending his use of the private jet... "The only choice for somebody like me" Come on man!

The irony of Biden's killing the Keystone Pipeline in the name of "Climate Change"....Killing the pipeline will actually INCREASE carbon emissions. To offset the amount of oil lost by cancelling the pipeline the U.S. will have to add 646 Train tankers of oil per day and it will consume 1.4 Million gallons of fuel (usually diesel), everyday to move that fuel. That is the equivalent of adding the emissions of 490,000 cars to our output. Well done Never Trumper Climate Savers.

Like I said the party is over and the tug of war has begun. Will he have the stones to stay in the middle given all that unity and stuff or will he end up under the thumb of the squad... Joe is also pushing back on his key Stone Pipeline EO - Sen. Manchin Urges Biden to Permit Keystone XL Pipeline

You forgot reflective belts...

Who needs spam in a can flying when you have computers.

WHO will end research into 'extremely unlikely' theory that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan lab "The investigators have visited hospitals, research facilities and the seafood market where the first outbreak was identified, although their contacts in Wuhan are limited to visits organized by their Chinese hosts." I feel so much better...

The honeymoon is over Joe, now you have to answer to your communist base. This week the far left is holding Joe's feet to the fire on such wonderful issues as: 1. $15 minimum wage which will crush already struggling small businesses and cost a CBO estimated 1.4 Million jobs. 2. Government payments to Illegals...WTF! 3. Bernie openly bashing what your cohorts in Congress have proposed for stimulus eligibility.

Having served as the TF commander in Africa...I understand exactly what and who they are. There are other reasons they were not previously designated..even though many of us in the field asked for it. I have heard the cover story about getting aid and other help in but it doesn't not reality or the situation on the ground. Bottomline, these clowns are a proxy for Iran and as Trump elevated his fight against Iran we should have kept the pressure on. When it comes to Biden I have zero faith after he and his boss send an airplane load of American Pesos to the Iranian government. This was a big mistake.

Supposedly it was the drivers pants that were dropped not a cell phone. Multiple folks who were at Eglin when it happened said Amn Snuffy was getting a BJ from Amn Suffett when he became overly excited and lost control of the vehicle.

Do you know the story of this "incident?"

WIC debreif complete.

Anyone who wants to protect their gun rights might want to watch a very important case Caniglia v. Strom that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to hear. It is a bit complicated but in short a married couple had a dispute and the police asked the male homeowner to come outside and talk, he did so voluntarily. During the conversation the police determined he needed a mental evaluation so they took him into custody and in for a mental evaluation. While he was being taken to the hospital a police supervisor ordered other officers to enter his home and seize his weapons, without a warrant. He was assessed by a doctor and it was deemed he was not a threat so he was immediately released. The police refused to return his weapons for several months. Big implications for both the 2nd and 4th amendments.

Amen!

Exactly, the Chiacoms have had my SF86 for years...

Biden administration to remove terrorist designation for Yemen's Houthi militia Iran jumping for joy...I don't understand this decision especially when we have been supplying arms to Saudi (until Biden suspended sales to them.), to help them push back this group which has clear demonstrated ties to the Iranian and North Korean governments.

Given the governments record with transparency, especially the past 12 years, I would 100% disagree with you.

So give it to the government? We all know the government is famous for transparency...

Biden Wants to Shut Down Credit Bureaus Ah yes under the banner of Equity (not equality), let the government have control and run one more aspect of your life.

Ummm...copy, Sarcasm detector inop? That quote is often falsely attributed to Stalin and how he would fight America during the Cold War.
