Its just as bad on the DNC side, while some dems are criticizing Biden, the rank and file and most especially the donor class is firmly behind Biden. I find it shameful the DNC has already said there will be no DNC primary debates. The Biden strategy is clear for the next 18 months...run another "Weekend at Bernies" campaign keeping Joe in the basement and and away from the microphone as much as possible. Already the fewest press conferences ever for a sitting President, no live debate with any DNC challengers and I bet they are already calculating a way to avoid a debate with Trump should he win the GOP Nom.

0.375 that of Earth - really helps when you run the fuel and return calculations. SpaceX and Musk have a very iterative process that is paying dividends as they outpace the traditional "experts". Amazing to watch their progress.

Checkmate! Send the man his bottle.

Not just a member of his team...his current Secretary of State. I know our liberal friends are "mostly happy" with Biden but the irony of what has happened (disinformation/collusion with foreign governments/crimes), is truly staggering.

We can only hope the flood of corruption is about to break through the dam of obstruction created by this administration, the justice department in particular. An investigator with the IRS is seeking Whistleblower status over claims the investigation of Hunter Biden has been illegally delayed and obstructed. It is ALWAYS the coverup that gets these clowns. Even the left-wing press is reporting the details (you really should watch the video). 1. The FBI investigation of Hunter Biden was complete a YEAR ago. 2. The IRS investigation of Hunter Biden was complete a YEAR ago. 3. There is probable cause to indict Hunter Biden on two misdemeanor counts of Tax Evasion. 4. There is probably cause to indict Hunter Biden on one felony count of Tax Evasion. 5. There is probable cause to indict Hunter Biden on one felony gun charge. The whistleblower asserts the Justice Department has interfered rather than leaving the matter to U.S. Attorney David Weiss as promised by Attorney General Merrick Garland under oath.

In today's installment of "How can Biden F@ck Americans"... Effective May 1st borrowers with a credit score greater than 680 will pay MORE on their loans to subsidize high risk loans. As an example for example, non-dirtbags who pay their monthly bills and live within their means resulting in a higher credit score will pay about $40 per month more on a home loan of $400,000. And just to make the slap to the nutsack even better, homebuyers who save and make down payments of 15% to 20% will get socked with the largest fees. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/apr/18/joe-biden-hike-payments-good-credit-homebuyers-sub/

Then it went BOOM. I think Elon predicted a 50% chance but they were happy it got off the pad. Watched it live and early on it looked like several engines failed. Flop maneuver was successful? Something went wrong at separation and she kept flopping. Overall it seems they hit several milestones and are well on their way. If anyone can do it I think SpaceX is it.

After months of dragging their feet the Treasury Department FINALLY gave the House Oversight Committee access to suspicious activity reports generated by the department on transaction within the Biden family. It has come to light that SIX additional Biden family members were paid many millions of dollars by Chinese and Russian firms.

The EFMP system can be a maddening mess. My son had chronic ear infections which resulted in a slight speech delay. The pediatrician and state of Florida prescribed a year of speech therapy just as I was finishing command. My assignment from NW Florida to National War College was TURNED OFF by the medical system, they invoked the EFMP clause saying they could not confirm my son would receive appropriate speech therapy care in WASHINGTON DC! I tried to inject some common sense into the system for 10 days before my boss who was the Air Warfare Center Commander stepped in. He was like me speechless and went VFR direct to the Surgeon General of the Air Force. The SG called me personally to say it was all worked out and yes there was speech therapy in the Nation's Capital, but also told me "the system is just trying to protect you and your family."

The pendulum swings hard left followed immediately by hard right. For a while O-6's had to volunteer to be considered for command...that resulted in a shortage of "HiPos" seeking command. A Corona discussion followed..."we aren't people volunteering for command? The reason as it turns out, people were freaking tired...I can't imagine why? As is the norm CSAF responded by making all O-6's "all in" whether they like it or not for the next command screening cycle. I don't know what it looks like now but in 2014 they had a SERB for O-6s, two years later they asked O-6's to come back from retirement to fill certain staff roles. Also, as I recall in 2020 or 2021 AFSOC lost almost 60 O-6's, that is a lot of experience walking out the door to escape some caustic leadership. Regardless of what they say your best interest is NOT in Big Blue's crosscheck. You are just another number in the system.

You would be surprised at what they teach at "Colonel Charm School." They start by sending you a document attached to a congratulations note. Paraphrasing the document but mostly verbatim: 1. Don't ask to be stationed near your parents because they are ill, all Colonels have older parents and we can not accommodate. 2. Don't ask for an extension in one location so your kid can finish high school, all Colonels have kids in high school. 3. Expect to move a lot, the average Colonel moved every 18 months. The needs of the service were never more true than now that you are a Colonel. 4. Again, don't ask for the above, if you don't like these rules, thanks for your service, bye Felicia. I went through both the Group Commander Course and the Wing Commander Course prior to taking command and both were centered on "here are the things that gets Colonels in trouble: 1. The car - I shit you not...long discussions about the rules for using your White Top. The car went away after my command so I guess it was even more sensitive. 2. Money - Be careful and be sure about how you and those in your command spend govt funds...trust but verify. 3. Your dick - I forget the percentage but as I recall almost half of all instances of being removed from command were caused by misplacing your dick. There was a small section about being a dick...for a brief time the AF was actually going to stop caustic leaders but we all know that was just lip service.

So by this logic, shouldn't Hillary have been brought up on the exact same charges? She paid for a fake dossier with the expressed purpose (nothing to unpack on intent), of influencing the outcome of a Presidential election.

I am IN! Where do I sign?

All This Talk of Chaos, I Just Didn't See It': White House Spokesman Says Administration 'Proud' of Afghanistan Withdrawal. John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, said Thursday that the Biden administration is “proud” of its botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021

Biden administration releases report about decisions around U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan "A summary of the report largely blamed former President Donald Trump's administration for the breakdown that occurred after U.S. troops withdrew." Of course it did because the Clown Penis sitting in the oval office will take responsibility for NOTHING. The blood of 13 dead Americans is on his hands and he blames the previous guy.

💯 - It seems the past few years the FBI has been more than willing to overlook or simply forget the Constitution. 45 minutes of interrogation in the shower?!?!? That agency has run amok!

The American public would be SHOCKED if they knew how much training takes place using civilian assets as "targets." I spent MANY years shooting Antioch churches, seizing civilian airfields and interdicting semi-trucks all over Florida and Alabama. Back in the 50s-60s USAF bombers conducted nightly simulated nuke attacks on major American cities all over the country. I am shocked there have not been more incidents like this. I recall an incident a few years back at Hurlburt where a sitting WIC Sq Commander was the AC for a local training mission. When they transitioned from the live fire ranges to a dry fire scenario over P-Cola there was confusion and improper checklist completion that ALMOST resulted in a live 105MM being placed into a civilian target in P-Cola, (one switched saved them from an accident that would have taken civilian lives and changed AFSOC forever)...Didn't hurt her career of course, she was promoted shortly thereafter. Training in an urban environment is 100% legit. Not every Op is going to be conducted in flat open desert...and for the record, urban canyon is real, it has a HUGE impact on ISR, chain of custody, weapons employment and collateral damage.
