Huge news out of Florida. Law banning open carry ruled unconstitutional.

An Update from President Mark A. Welsh III General (Ret.) Mark A. Welsh III President September 9, 2025 Members of the Aggie Family, I am reaching out today to follow up on a statement I distributed through social media yesterday regarding an ongoing issue with one of our 16,000 course sections. I directed the Provost to remove the College of Arts and Sciences Dean and English Department Head from their administrative positions. This afternoon, following full consideration of the facts related to this situation, I directed the Provost to terminate the professor involved, effective immediately. Please understand that these decisions were mine alone and were not made lightly. While I cannot provide all the details at this time, I will share the following facts. This summer, a children’s literature course contained content that did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum for the course. After this issue was raised, college and department leadership worked with students to offer alternative opportunities for students to complete the course, and made changes to ensure this course content does not continue in future semesters. At that time, I made it clear to our academic leadership that course content must match catalog descriptions for each and every one of our course sections. However, I learned late yesterday that despite that directive, the college continued to teach content that was inconsistent with the published course description for another course this fall. As a result, I took the above administrative actions, and deans and department heads will conduct an audit of course offerings to ensure they align with the course descriptions. Our students use the published information in the course catalog to make important decisions about the courses they take in pursuit of their degrees. If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we break trust with our students. When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep faith with our students and with the state of Texas. This isn’t about academic freedom; it’s about academic responsibility. Our degree programs and courses go through extensive approval processes, and we must ensure that what we ultimately deliver to students is consistent with what was approved. Texas A&M is a great university — the best in the world. This is a place that honors academic freedom and academic responsibility. It’s also a place that unequivocally abides by state and federal law. Together, we will remain committed to our Aggie Core Values and providing our students with the education and experience they deserve. r/mark General (Ret.) Mark A. Welsh III, President In short a professor was teaching content in a Children's Literature Class in direct opposition to a new Texas law that there are more than two genders. A student objects and the prof tells them to leave. Well done Boomer!

Anyone else see the latest video of a Hellfire bouncing off a UAP. 🫣

A most accurate description of my time in the voter booth.

I know right! Kinda of like removing all historic statues and changing the name of bases.

Things happen all over the world every night, sometimes they come to light. US special forces killed North Korean civilians in botched 2019 mission, NYT says

News reports indicate that officials within the Trump-era Department of Justice are considering proposals to potentially restrict transgender individuals from owning firearms!

Renewed my FAA medical two weeks ago. The AME reviewed my intake documents and said...."hair color brown....still sticking with that huh...." Ouch!

For both of us....what a great couple of games. Love watching you guy crush Bama...and the way their fans melted down... epic!

F-35 pilot held 50-minute airborne conference call with engineers before fighter jet crashed in Alaska "An Air Force investigation blamed the crash on ice in the hydraulic lines in the nose and main landing gears of the F-35, which prevented them from deploying properly." "At that point, the F-35’s sensors indicated it was on the ground and the jet’s computer systems transitioned to “automated ground-operation mode,” the report said." "This caused the fighter jet to become “uncontrollable” because it was “operat(ing) as though it was on the ground when flying,” forcing the pilot to eject." Thanks HAL!

Another gem. Dude is deaf, the police KNOW he is deaf but beat the F@ck out of him for "not listening." They mock him and his hearing aides, then charge him with resisting with violence. He bails out immediately which angers the cops so the add another charge of assault on a police officer which revokes his bail. Dude spends 58 days in jail with no bond.

Here is a good synopsis.

If crapping in the streets of San Francisco, rampant crime and extreme taxes were not enough to show you what a mess California is...look at Sheetz v. County of El Dorado. In short - a gentleman purchased a piece of land and wanted to build an 1800' home. The City of El Dorado approved the build but dropped a $23,000 "Traffic" impact fee on him. He fought it all the way to the Supreme Court which rules unanimously in his favor. The California Appeals Court has decided the Supreme Court does not apply to them and reaffirmed their original ruling.

"Hogging" the inside of a unattended hat was a big practical joke in AFSOC...same in the CAF?

When I was a DO the CC had a spare hat to leave on his desk so people would think he was in the building.

Hegseth fires general whose agency's intel assessment of damage from Iran strikes angered Trump

Sadly, propane. The natural gas comes in on the other side of the house. With the shape of the house, pool and screen enclosure I had to put the outdoor kitchen on the exact opposite corner of the house. My house is fairly large and they wanted $2,000 to run a gas line to the opposite side of the house. Also, the Ooni...man it makes a great pie. I have an iron skillet with the grip cut off that I use to cook steaks. Get it up to 900 degrees and slide the skillet in on top of the stone...Ruth's Chris style.

Next to my grill in the pic is my Ooni pizza oven. Love it, also great to fast sear steaks.

I went with the Cal Flame G Series for my outdoor kitchen (highly recommend). Have the Ooni and Blackstone set up as well.

What other carve outs are there? Is it a sliding scale of citizenship, I think I missed that part in the Constitution? So if you have a job you get your 15th amendment. You need to make $25K to get your 1st and 2nd...you don't get the 4th until you make $100K?
