Not a prediction just an observation. I’m not big on social media. I only have a FB account. I started the account years ago when I taught at the FTU. It was a tool to keep in touch with my students including my international students. I am also a military brat so I have connected with folks from my childhood who live all around the country in places I lived growing up. I see their opinions on this election. I see the questions they ask and the people that respond to their posts. I see an overwhelming push for Trump. It could mean something or I could be way off base. Again, not a prediction just an observation. I also recognize that the media is the largest part of the machine. The media arm of the machine wants ratings and money. They have no interest in reporting the truth. They will frame this election as “tied” to get ratings whether it’s leaning one way or the other. Gotta have people glued to their feeds/TV.

Our OG/CCs dad was in the Triple Nickel during Vietnam. He’s still with us although he’s not doing well and is confined to a wheel chair. He’s a proud member of the 555th club. His son, our OG/CC carries his dad’s green polka dotted scarf with him on every flight. Has for his entire 33 year flying career. Cheers!

Interesting take on current events. Worth the watch.

Why are you guys even debating this? The 2 party system and our voting process isn’t going anywhere. It’s the superhighway to keeping those in the deep state in power.

I’m on record here stating that, as a life long republican, I would have voted for a middle of the road, sane and mature democrat over Trump in this election. I will not vote for Kamala. No way. But the dems decided to anoint her and not have a primary. So guys like me have no choice. And I guarantee there are lots of people just like me. I'll be voting for Trump all day every day over Kamala.

Best post I’ve read in a very long time.

Guard only if war is declared?

Gov Tim Walz co-sponsor this? -
He’s more sick than they’re telling the public. Just a guess based on the previous lies. And are they really going to anoint Kamala without a primary? Voters are the ones who decide these issues in this country. As a republican, I would seriously consider voting for a center leaning democrat who displays sanity in this next election. I’m damn sure not voting for Kamala so I’d be voting again for Trump. I’d like another option but it doesn’t look like we’re going to get it.

Powerful picture for sure. I don’t really see the equivalency though. We can have a discussion on what Trump really said around January 6th and why your fellow American citizens were so angry with the way the government/media/social media, etc handled themselves leading up to that election. The irony is that these people have largely been proven right in their concerns over the 2020 election. They’ve been proven right based on where we are right now. Look around. It was all a sham. Biden was unfit then and he’s unfit now. The Democratic Party is collapsing under the weight of its own making. I was specifically referencing these sick and elderly politicians holding on to power up until the moment they die. They won’t let go. And I’m honestly wondering just how sick the President really is.

I’m seeing a common pattern with democrats refusing to give up power. Diane Feinstein died in office. So did Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Now Sheila Jackson Lee. Curious how sick Biden really is.

Biden isn’t being protected like he was. But I get what you’re saying.

I’m having a hard time keeping up with what is going with our government right now. Now, we’ve got a sitting US Senator, Democrat from NJ Menendez, convicted on all charges related to bribery, conspiracy, etc. Sounds like he could be just the 16th Senator in our country’s history to be removed from the Senate. This story will be absolutely nothing come September when Hunter goes on trial in California for his tax issues. That laptop and all of the other evidence that is out there will completely expose the Biden’s as the corrupt family that they are. It’s all going to come out during the trial.

Classified docs case dismissed in Florida.

Apparently has a button that says “control guns not girls”.

They are what they accuse you of. It is Ch 1 in their playbook.

Fixed it for you.

Somewhere between 80k and 100k people were at the Trump rally in New Jersey yesterday. That says something.

The starting point in the conversation should be: Why at this point in history are human beings, at an incredibly higher rate, having these mental issues? It’s clearly a cultural phenomenon or societal issue and not biological. The lack of parenting leads to kids raising themselves under heavy heavy influence by a new phenomenon - social media. The adults should be addressing this and not condoning or supporting it. Especially, medical providers. But, it’s big business and generates huge sums of money.

User initially rigs the load in their shop. A before loading JAI -Joint Airdrop Inspection is completed at that time and before its at the aircraft. The loadmasters flying the mission load and rig what needs done on the aircraft. An additional JAI is completed after it’s done. The JAI completing the inspection on the aircraft works with the loads flying to complete the process. The JAI typically doesn’t fly on the aircraft and is definitely not primary crew. Lots of signatures on the JAI form to ensure it is correct. There are certain things the loads can’t see such as the guts of the parachute. You have to assume it was packed properly. These are CDS drops. Kind of hard to screw up if you know what you’re doing.

Where does this Michelle Obama talk come from? Has she ever publicly said she has any interest at all in running? A quick search on the googs didn’t pull anything up.

I don’t think the Dems can contain this issue with Biden anymore. There is absolutely no doubt that he is in rapid decline. It’s sad and very hard to watch but most of all, it’s dangerous for our country. The world is watching this unfold. The special council’s report, whether intentional or not, is the death knell for his presidency. I think we are a week or two out from Biden’s resignation. The Dems will get their woman/woman of color as POTUS at least until Jan 2025 which is what they really want. The election will play itself out without Biden one way or another. It’ll be really fascinating and sad to get the truth about what really happened with the Biden’s when he’s gone. The truth will come out.

Attack and destroy the two parent traditional family and abort millions of babies. Import illegal immigrants to make up for the declining birth rate. I also read somewhere that this administration is pro illegal immigration because of the money. Lots of articles above related to mayors, governors and the feds needing billions and billions of dollars to handle the influx. It’s a way to funnel massive amounts of money into the system. No different than Covid. Makes sense….

I think we should be able to discuss ORM without jumping straight to this is the military so we should be all gas and no brakes. I’m glad we aren’t crashing airplanes like we did in the 50’s, getting yelled at and doing it again the next day…

I get it. We fly and are qualified to operate in bad weather. However, you’ve got to look at the bigger picture. It’s cold as shit there, first day back from the long holidays and the weather was horrible. Approach a day like that anticipating the worst case scenario and break the error chain on the ground by cancelling a training line. You can do it another day. Sounds like these guys experienced that worst case scenario (serious EP/jet on fire). The accident report will be interesting to read. I’m curious how much blame goes to the SOF or leadership for leaning too far forward.
