The definition of election fraud has changed. Pay close attention to what Elon Musk is exposing. The truth always come out.

There are numerous documented examples of him outright lying or making up stories going back decades. I’m not surprised by this latest story.

He’s not stupid. He garnered such a huge following and won the election because he was not part of the machine. He stood there and told Hillary to her face that “she’d be in jail”. Your average American had been waiting for someone - anyone to say that to someone like Hillary Clinton. He followed that campaign with a massive number of successful policies. And the machine went all in on him. He could have gotten up off the mat, dusted himself off, learned from the experience and came back with a stronger message. But he didn’t. He’s selling trading cards and continues to make outlandish claims. Which is why I don’t think he’s serious about running again even though he announced his candidacy. And that’s ok with me.

And released one of the biggest arms dealers in history while advocating for a ban on assault/semi-automatic weapons.

I get really irritated with the “election denier” claims that are made against people by the media. It’s the end of democracy blah blah blah. Their defense is always to go on the offense. It was absolutely crystal clear during that election cycle that there was interference going on. And it wasn’t the Russians on behalf of Trump like we were told for years and years. The election was rigged by social media, the mainstream media, the Democrat Party and 3 letter agencies of the government. Trump was crushed by the machine while Biden was propped up. All while suppressing Hunter’s shenanigans and business dealings. It’s all going to start coming out starting with what Musk is doing with Twitter. And it’s not like we got anything good out of it. This administration is an absolute train wreck.

It sounds like your career ran from roughly 1995 to 2015. There were definitely some really shitty AF leaders during those years. I don’t have any opinions on you trying to get new equipment, justifying a larger budget or expanding mission sets. I wasn’t there so I can’t speak to the unique challenges that folks in your organization faced. However, “maintaining morale” and “handing out discipline” is something I think I can speak to. It’s helpful to remember that the Es like to handle that stuff in house. When it comes to maintaining morale there is often a disconnect in what the Es are interested in and what the Os are interested in. A lot of times it comes down to what the younger Es can afford. IRT discipline, it’s sometimes best to let the Es handle it and let the Os have plausible deniability. I often remind myself that, as Es, we are not only leading our folks, we are raising young men and women. The officers have completed college, gone through a commissioning process and are typically older. That is completely different than getting a 19 year dude/dudette that just graduated HS. They are often immature and most have just left home for the first time. I say all of this to hopefully help you with better memories of the enlisted leaders that you served with. They had very different challenges, responsibilities and goals than you did (assuming you were an officer). Cheers

I have a couple questions for you. What do you think of the work that the E-1 to E-7s do? What prompted this post and is it tied to a specific recent experience that you can describe?

Not today China

“Conservatives have to talk to liberals”. Have you seen what happens when conservative speakers show up on college campuses? You don’t get to blame conservatives for the lack of productive conversation, insults or straw-manning. Not even close. It is the Democrat party and the left that is the party of division and hate. It is intentional and designed to increase power, both personally and politically. Reference words like bigot, racist, sexist, ableist, homophobe, nazi, white supremacist, extremist, etc. I agree, the average moderate Democrat isn’t some raging member of the squad. However, you can’t ignore the progressive left’s tactics, language or policies. The Democrat party owns it all. The solution is for the Democrat party to police itself. Not continue to blame republicans.

Every situation or narrative you listed above has either been created by, promoted, defended or championed by democrats. Elected democrats aren’t changing their stance on the policies that created these issues, they are doubling down. Every day there are more examples of Democrat policies getting more and more insane. Hopefully, November 8th will be a wake up call for democrats.

Here is the dude that interviewed Biden.

Yep. And as much as I want Trump to go away he’s the only one that will tell them to fuck off.

I know what you’re saying. Problem is, NP2000 isn’t going to look good for many months if not years for the entire H model fleet. Think of the issues with keeping folks current and proficient. Check rides? The 189th at KLRF is grounded. That’s the FTU… This is a major issue that will have lasting effects. There are already countless requests for airlift that go unfilled. The army will suffer greatly from the lack of jump support. There are currently 5 ANG units that fly the C-130J and 3 of them are in conversion. That limits their capabilities based on experience and pay statuses. Been a C-130 guy for 20 years now. I know the sky is always falling and then it isn’t. Things always work out. But, this one is bad.

Send Me. Tells the story of the withdrawl from Afghanistan. Find it on Amazon. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3011166745/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

I’ve posted this before but I’ll tell the story again. I’ll never forget sitting in the base theatre in the Middle East around Xmas 2020. We had the opportunity to listen to the CSAF, CMSAF and the Sec of the AF. I was genuinely interested in what they had to say. There was a lot going on at the time. Most notably, Covid. We had been through a lot just to get in theatre with quarantines and such. I sat there and listened to two women and a black four star general talk for an hour about social issues, discrimination and how we all needed to do better. That’s all they talked about It was one of many turning points in my long AF career. And it was one of the most disappointing. I can’t even say that they thanked us for being there during the holidays.

Chief is an interesting rank. All other enlisted ranks up to Chief are pretty well defined. It’s almost like you hit a completely new rank structure when you look at how many different types of Chiefs there are. It’s like that scene in Forrest Gump. Shrimp gumbo, fried shrimp, shrimp scampi…. You see Chiefs out there in squadrons, groups, wings, first sergeants, staffs, etc. There aren’t many Chiefs in the AF but yet they seem to everywhere. Some genuinely care and use the rank to better their organizations and their people’s lives. Others are power hungry assholes just like some officers.

My wife works for one of the largest and well known companies in the world. She got an email last night stating that travel expenses are now included in her health care plan if she needs to travel to get an abortion. I hadn’t thought of this potential response from employers. It’ll be interesting to see if her health care costs go up. And it will be interesting to see what pro-life employees like her think about her premium going up to pay for this.

I sat with a few scientists down in Antarctica while doing the Deep Freeze mission on days I wasn’t flying. They were there studying the climate. I asked them what the deal is with this whole climate change thing and listened for a while as they talked about it. There were a couple big take aways. First, was the amount of variables involved in their work. They didn’t even have consistent climate measurements going back 50-100 years. Where were the measurements taken? When were they taken? With what equipment? By who? How was the data stored and what data has been shared, etc. Second, they all absolutely agreed that the climate is changing. It always has. They study the environment and climate to better understand it. That doesn’t mean they were trying to validate future climate catastrophes. They were simply trying to understand it without predetermined findings. Lastly, they said it’s another example of something being used for political gain. Everybody has an angle and everybody has a different set of goals and motivation. I believe the climate changes. I don’t believe it’s something to be scared of. “Climate change” is a source of power and money. Fear is a tactic. It’s really no different than the 2 years of Covid shenanigans. Gotta get people scared so we can spend endless piles of new money.

It all depends and there are a lot of variables just like everything else. There are minimum and maximum seasoning days allotted per course. This year, the various continuing resolutions made a mess of things. The guard bureau gave out 66% of the minimum this year. With that said, the program is a “wing commander managed” program. They can direct the comptroller or FDO is prioritize different groups in the wing. There are wings out there that burned through days at the beginning of the year thinking they’d eventually (once a budget was passed) get 100% of the days only to find out the NGB only sent 66% and no more. Some folks returning from school will not get any days because of this.

When does life begin?

You need to get out more. We are all products of our life’s experiences. My personal views are shaped by a few things. I did get my daughter’s mom pregnant when we were dating. She considered getting an abortion. I was living through the worst part of my life when that happened. Raising her was really hard in the beginning and it took a lot of sacrifices. We got through it. She’s 23 and is the light of my life. I dated a girl once who had an abortion before she met me. She was emotionally ruined by the experience. She regretted that decision to her core. My buddy and his wife had their daughter at 24 weeks. His wife had preeclampsia. Their daughter turns 7 this weekend. She’s a happy and healthy child. The medical community is making incredible progress towards helping women with medical issues while they are pregnant. There are answers to problems we encounter in life whether they are self induced or not. I don’t believe killing our children is the answer.

That is hands down the most evil, sick and twisted description of a mother carrying her own child I have ever read. And it is exactly why the pro-life side should, and I believe will win in the end. This type of thinking is how you justify aborting babies up to the moment of birth.

The level of intellectual dishonesty shown by the pro-abortion crowd is astounding. It’s the most frustrating part of the whole argument. You all know damn well that life begins at conception. After conception, life is just a series of periods of growth and development followed by decline and death. It’s a simple circle of life. You just won’t say you understand that out loud. Instead, you all come up with endless endless endless arguments about why you are for abortion as a distraction from the truth. Just admit that you’re pro-self and that a baby will interrupt your life, finances, work, goals, etc. I’d have a whole lot more respect for you and your argument if you were just truthful about your reasoning.
