Looks like Lisa Renna lips.

Not a video but some good sequence pics of the mig 23 ejection/crash at the Michigan air show a few days ago. short video here: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/plane-crashes-in-flames-at-thunder-over-michigan-air-show-190760005580

I’m really hoping it was just a really bad game!

I praised the increase in level of play too soon. This last game team USA looked like they were just called out of the stands to try their hand at soccer. They lacked even basic skills. Couldn’t control the ball receiving passes, seemed to not understand the basics of leading a player when passing, field vision was lacking, appeared to just want to kick and pray the ball went somewhere advantageous, a total disaster. I can def. see how a HS boys team beat them.

Any first hand reports from Oshkosh? Sounds like a couple of accidents. I heard one was a T-6 but haven’t seen official reports. Prayers for all involved.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66299441.amp A woman claiming to be a man plays for Canada’s women’s national team at FIFA 2023 W.C. She claims that she is a real man, but because she’s not good enough for men’s team, she plays for women’s team (can’t call her a woman though). So she’s both delusional and hypocritical.

Clark, any thoughts on parlaying some of Bartini’s ground effect ideas (Biffs shared video above) into any sea plane plans. It wouldn’t have altitude to use defensively but, if it could do 300 to 400 knots at 50 to 100 feet off the deck efficiently while carrying huge loads, it could still prove pretty handy. He dreamt big, but I’d guess there’d still be some serious utility from many of his ideas both commercially and militarily.

A thorough definition of “woke” and a discussion that examines the evolution of the destructive ideology at play in our nation.

Crap I even saw a video of ole climate scam artist Al Gore still feeding at that teet.

This def belongs here in the woke/wtf thread. At least the Gen was honest … shrugs shoulders and is thinking “i have no idea what the hell a demigender is”. Complete lunacy in action.

I agree. As a many people have observed players on our national team should show appropriate respect or they shouldn’t play on our team. There are plenty of great players who don’t hate our country. The bad apple theme applies here. Some old fashioned discipline would immediately change the character and actions of the remaining players. The coach should lead and set expectations for behavior, or be replaced.

True, the Vietnamese squad was playing to not lose by 13 goals. As ClearedHot said above, they were very aggressive and physical (one could say dirty at times) to disrupt any smooth open play and keep us from getting in a grove.

Ole 500 must have created a new account.

Have fun and fly your butt off. Know your job well and volunteer for every flight or skill improving opportunity available. Press boundaries when and where appropriate. Spend time with maintainers to see what they do to keep you safely airborne. As stated above, look after the Es who are taking care of your planes and life support equipment.

Any of you field fairy fans watching any WC soccer? Vietnam played pretty well against the heavily favored U.S. squad. The Vietnamese goal keeper was pretty aggressive and did a good job of controlling her defense against a strong US offensive group. At the risk of sounding elitist, the women’s game is definitely getting better each year. Volleyball and soccer are my two favorite team sports to watch so I always enjoy watching top notch national teams compete.

Fritz, there are a few numbnuts here who actually think like that. You need eye rolls, or sarcasm emoji or something.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/17/23797379/mali-ml-typo-us-military-emails-leak Another cyber/intelligence issue the DoD hasn’t addressed in spite of warnings (for years). It would appear my dad was correct, attention to detail is important.

All the posturing makes me desire the simplicity of honesty by world leaders. I know that might create its own set of problems. One of my favorite scenes in movie history.

Anybody watched this. Some info, some speculation, and some analysis. Interesting.

I’ll take the hit on being harsh (even mean at times) against the cause. At the risk of being too defensive, i really don’t hate the individuals, I hate the movement and the championing of destructive behavior. And contrary to some observations i have personally seen close lifelong friends hurt by it, which makes it hurt even more. As for research (back when i did some - 20 plus years ago) it was social science so psychology and sociology. So yeah self reporting, survey type with tons of variance that can’t be fully explained or dismissed easily. But even anthropology and medical research shows that sexual activity outside of monogamous heterosexual relationships have negative implications for those who engage. i stand by my observation that 30 plus years of championing abnormal sexual activity has had seriously negative consequences psychologically for our society.

Sure a lot of people smoking each others poles throwing out “faggot” at me like it’s an insult. I thought you were telling me it’s normal and good. So am i supposed to be insulted or proud to be labeled a bone smuggler. Make up your mind

Oh you got me. Ouch. I just haven’t bought into the 30 years of brainwashing and attempted normalization of destructive behavior. I’ve got some good friends who have a child each who bought into all this crap and it’s ruined both of the kid’s lives. Tons of mental health issues and destructive behavior. It’s just a poor choice and the whole push towards it pisses me off when I’ve seen two families impacted by the whole alphabet crew. Again, there is nothing good for the individual or the family that can come from choosing abnormal behavior.

Homos are 18Xs more likely to be pedos. The three predilections I lumped together, all deny reality and the design of humanity. To engage in any of that behavior is bad for the individual, the culture, and society as a whole. I know when it’s personal it’s more difficult to see the truth but that doesn’t change the facts.

Yeah the pedos/homos/trans are just different delusional clowns in the same insane alphabet circus/freakshow. Nothing beneficial to the individual or to society when encouraged. Should be discouraged just like all bad decisions.
