A moose in Alaska soaked up a BDU-33, got up, and ran about 400 yards. That's what I heard, didn't see it, never saw confirming video, I can't remember who told me, please refer all questions to my attorney.

Some background on the Gaetz accusations and, more importantly, the accusers. https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/17/house-probe-into-matt-gaetz-relies-on-witnesses-doj-found-lacked-credibility/

Laptop - real as admitted by the FBI. Gaetz allegations investigation not enough to charge - also FBI. If there is proof of crimes committed then charge him, convict him, and I'll gladly join the firing squad. Unsubstantiated anonymous accusations which seem common in the last couple years or rumors do not a criminal make but do make for great reputation destroying MSM fodder.

Took some jets to Nellis for some night A-10 FWS support. Can't remember the building we were flying out of but some F-15s from Elmendorf supporting the F-16 Weapons School were also there. I bumped into a former student now F-15 dude as he was coming from a 4 vs I don't know how many and they start to debrief the ride. Anyway, that was around sunset and I launched with the 1st go. Got back, took over as Top 3, and launched our second go. We recover those jets, put them to bed, finish the paperwork, and completed the schedule for the next night. Sun is coming up and F-15/16 guys ARE STILL DEBRIEFING.

Some district in CA has successfully counted 76% of ballots. I'm envisioning some 90 year old dude with an abacus pulling sacks off the dusty delivery donkeys before dragging the bags into a 1930s vintage country store counting a few ballots between conversations with the locals about that new fangled telephone on the wall.

I'm baffled in this age of near instantaneous information exchange, Google searches in microseconds, and real time tracking of millions of package locations by freight carriers, why the hell can't votes be counted in a day? A week is just plain stupid.

I've got recurrent training next month. I'll get back to group if they have added a low level gun jink maneuver to the syllabus.

Few on the Dem side had the testicular fortitude to call BS on this but a week later, everybody saw it coming and thought it was a losing path. Maybe they were also in China with Tampon Tim when Tianamen Square want down. The scary part is none of this would come out if Harris had won and then the past policies are good to go for another 4 years.

And as I type this, CA District 13 has only counted 57% of the vote according to the Real Clear Politics page. And there are 8 CA districts total that haven't finished counting! WTF California??? Yeah, we really need to spread those California values across the nation

Did the A-10 Reserve RTU at Barksdale for 8 years. We flew B-course, TX-course, Senior Officer course (mostly Active Duty guys), IP Upgrades either RTU or line, and Sandy Upgrades. Flew my butt off as a full time reservist and as much as I could when I went part time. The B-was the most fun, TX-the easiest, IP Upgrades were rewarding teaching guys how to teach, and the Sandy upgrade was challenging because of the need for rescue assets. We could take an IP to Sandy 1 in two weeks. (Not sure Sandys still exists) Overall, a good gig molding the future fighter force.

Good point. Kind of like what the definition of "is" is.

An update shows the FEMA employee has been fired. "Trump supporters are evil so therefore I'm doing this for the team" is the same mindset as the IRS employee and the other 3 letter organizations. That mindset is a direct result of the higher ups in the organization. This person would not have done this if she didn't think she would not suffer repercussions. I'm not sure how deep Trump can fire people to restore fair and objective thinking but he needs to use the biggest cutting implement he can get his orange hands on.

Reminds me of the idiots arrested in Georgia protesting the police training facility referred to as "cop city.". Almost all the people arrested were from places far from Atlanta. Who pays for their traveling and lodging expenses? They obviously don't have a job if they can spend time playing protestor. The money is coming from somewhere to support the chaos.

Same here. I'd like to see the data for Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. My mother told me that you are the company you keep. 6000+ Antifa/BLM/Pro-Palestinian protestors is not exactly good company.
