StoleIt

The renovation was completed in 2011 then basically sat unused as a VIP house. Not saying that was a good use of funds or defending the decision makers here...but it wasn't exactly like the $1.2M was spent last year and it knocked down this year. They should have just knocked the rank requirement off and given it to an FGO who wanted to live on base, IMO.

If that movie doesn't end with the national anthem and the raising of the flag I'm gonna be pissed...

Definitely apply! IMO, there are no more "mandatory" requirements for the 89th. There used to be a no fighter rule and now they have hired two 11F's (but only 1 actually made it there). Worst they can say is apply again later.

I agree that illegals voting can happen. But, I don't believe it did, especially in any significant numbers, occur in this election. I'd be happy to see proof to the contrary, though. I am all for legal/approved ID being required to vote. I think that's just (un)common sense IMO.

Classic correlation vs causation. Liberal states vote left and a leftist tenant is their disbelief in voter ID laws. Not that a lack of voter ID turned those states liberal. They were already liberal. Also, as of today, that list seems to be incorrect since Trump has won Nevada and Pennsylvania.

I think with the advances in technology we could design something fast as hell, stealthy, and still able to turn (YF-23). Just don't put a lift fan in middle of it...

Automated boom refueling has already happened: And the Navy's Boeing MQ-25 is LO and obviously a drone. I'm sure it does a lot more than just buddy tank too. Hell, the even Navy did automated receiver AR in 2015 with their X-47 off an Omega KC-707. So, LO tankers aren't "that" hard. But scaling from fighter size vs transport size is definitely a challenge. It'll have to be a custom build like the B-21. Why not just build bigger fighters, I dunno...let's call them interceptors...and stuff them with enough gas to make it the fight and back (ie: MIG-25/31, F-14, J-20, etc). A lot easier than building LO tankers, IMO.

I would love Rand Paul as Sec Tres. But I don't think Tres can really solve our national debt issues...that comes down the Senate and House passing pork filled ridiculous budgets. What are the con's of taking a sitting Republican Senator and making them a cabinet Secretary? Is there some worry about losing that seat in a reelection?

Man, doesn't Purple already have it bad enough with their activist investors and contract negotiations? Now they gotta deal with Putin's package bombs too?! They can't catch a break...

I blame State way more than I blame the DoD. Fire them all first.

I found this chart pretty interesting: Basically, Trump did a better job getting people to vote than Kamala did. The Republican's didn't win the election, the Democrats lost it. My guess: because they ran a person people didn't like. Even Bernie agrees with me:
