I put my application in last night. Raptor to Hurlburt or don't call me back.

There was an initial message, later corrected, that said VRRAD did not count towards TIS. I heard it as well.

We always overlook the "Mom vote"...I think she will sway enough to be a threat to Trump.

His impromptu news conference last night was a complete abortion. Peter Doocy started the "failing memory" line of questioning which led to an insult from Biden, luckily another reporter followed up. The look on Biden's face the entire time...eyes squinted as he struggled to answer. The worst part, after saying there is nothing wrong with his memory, he referred to Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the “president of Mexico. This happened the same week he referred to François Mitterrand, who died in 1996, instead of French President Emmanuel Macron and the late Helmut Kohl instead of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. And still our liberal friends are "mostly happy" with what is going on.

BQZip's mom had the night off?

This is why we can't have nice things. Billions and BILLIONS wasted on this program that the Army has now decided to cancel. While the Army spent $6B, industry spent 3X that chasing the program. Most of you have these defense companies in your 401K so you get a double kick in the nuts as both a tax payer and investor. And as is normal, no one will be fired or held accountable. Disgusting waste. US Army spent billions on a new helicopter that now will never fly

The scenario quietly playing in the background, and the one that scares me the most... Dems get to the Convention and Michelle comes sweeping in to save the day. Maybe then she could finally be proud of her country.

It never ends with this POS. US FAA mandates Boeing 737 MAX rudder loose bolt inspections

The other major story today played out in the SCOTUS. Jason Murray representing six Colorado Republicans who filed suit last year to remove the former president from the ballot, and Shannon Stevenson representing the Colorado secretary of state argued in support of the Colorado decision to remove Trump from the ballot. I listened to most of it and was pleasantly surprised to hear the liberal leaning justices asking some of the toughest questions. At one point Murray was on the ropes and had to admit that if they were "procedurely wrong, then the case was dead right there"...then he went to their insurance policy where he stated if the Democrats win the house they can vote to disqualify Trump before he can be sworn in. Isn't that overturning an election?

The nit wit in chief is actually on TV touting the resulting of the investigation into his mishandling of classified information. He actually just said "Over my career in public service, I have always worked to protect America’s security. I take these issues seriously and no one has ever questioned that," Some highlights from the report: Special Counsel Bur described Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." The investigation "uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." "Mr. Biden wrote his 2007 and 2017 memoirs with the help of a ghostwriter. In a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter in February 2017, about a month after he left office, Mr. Biden said, while referencing his 2009 Thanksgiving memo, that he had "just found all the classified stuff downstairs." - He knew and it was purposeful. "Mr. Biden's ghostwriter and destruction of evidence. After learning of the special counsel's appointment in this matter, Mr. Biden's ghostwriter deleted audio recordings he had created of his discussions with Mr. Biden during the writing of Mr. Biden's 2017 memoir. The recordings had significant evidentiary value." "Marked classified documents about Afghanistan. These documents from fall 2009 have classification markings up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information level. They were found in a box in Mr. Biden's Delaware garage that contained other materials of great personal significance to him and that he appears to have personally used and accessed."

Initially messaging said no TIS increase only TOP 3, looks like that was adjusted which is common sense. In the current job market I don't see the business case to give up 100% of a better paying job PLUS 50% (or more of retired pay), AND VA payment all for a retirement bump of $2800. Del Rio, Cannon, Minot among the most popular. So all the active duty folks with commitment and no choice will get the undesirable assignments...

Pentagon believes it has identified problem behind Osprey crash that killed 8 Air Force crew members

I am at a loss for words, WTF are these idiots thinking? Stop retired pay. Stop VA pay. No choice of duty station. No promotion opportunity. Your time on VRRAD does NOT count towards time in service. Sooo come work in a crap hole of our choosing, for half pay, no promotion and its doesn't count towards your retirement. FU!

Chaos about to ensue once again. Whats old is new...stand by for a major restructure that includes Composite Wings.

Thread revival... Given the recent lack of blots panel blow out issue a lot of folks are leery to fly the max. I saw this a couple of hours ago on a Delta form, anyone on the line have validation or an update? "Update from second leg on Max9 aircraft: Well folks stuck here on the ground at DEN in a max9 we pushed back then the aircraft lost power and emergency power came on. Captain came on a few minutes later and said that 17 other aircraft are experiencing the same issue. A value in the APU is freezing over and not allowing the engines to start. The current temp on the ground is 36 degrees. I think it’s another issue with Boeing possibly? Waiting on a tug to get back to the gate. The flight attendant told the group of us in the back that he’s never heard of this happening nor has experienced it."

Which is EXACTLY the problem. No delay...hammer them as a backdrop and message of response for those brave Americans. I don't want war, but weakness is the wrong signal to people that want to end our way of life.

The "Vidowmaker"...

How did you know I was a lefty?

This is one of the migrants arrested for beating the cops, as he is being released from jail and confronted by the press.

Running a mix of slug and Double 00 Buckshot. It does when it goes boom 🙂 I love it, the only flaw I've found is the front grips are REALLY rough and spiky. I shoot using the C Clamp method and minus gloves it will tear your hand up. Garand Thumb does a great review of this gun and he noted the same. He suggests you sand it down a bit which I plan to do this weekend.

Speaking of Beretta...just got the A300 and I love it!

Five migrants were arrested, four were released WITHOUT bail, one of them has TWO open cases for assault and robbery...Again, this (open borders, defund the police, no accountability), is a choice our liberal friends want.
