A male that has gone through puberty is taller, has greater muscle mass, larger lungs and heart, and skeletal construction that enhances mechanical advantage. Decreasing testosterone removes exactly none of that after puberty. The U.S. National Womens Soccer team played warm up games against U15 boys AND LOST. There is a difference and ignoring the science of biology does not change that.

I flew that Patriot battalion home from Kuwait City Itnl on a CRAF flight and Battalion Exec was on the Jumpseat explaining what happened. I’m not sure what was/wasn’t classified but it involved a lot more than IFF and both were avoidable.

Wrong!! It’s Tex-Mex and it’s better! Don’t make me track you down and give you a brisket burrito to prove the error of your misguided ways!

Another senseless boosting tragedy. When will it end?

The irony of putting Harris in charge of anything related to intelligence.

The really sad part is how language and definitions are getting warped or changed so I'm trying to wrap my brain around and decipher that language so my brain accepted"people protestors" and moved on without a second thought.

"The Cold War: What We Saw" narrated by Bill Whittle is excellent. He also did "Apollo: What We Saw" about the space race. Also excellent. You might be able to find them outside the Daily wire.

This is the same guy that said Hunter is the smartest person he knows which should really worry the rest of the freedom loving planet.

Nothing like trusting your career and life to an organization with demonstrated incompetence. "You have to stay because we were stupid before but we are smarter now, so sorry."

It happened back in the day before the dual track system but I'm not sure how it would work now. I had a student going to 141 Reserves at CHS. We FAR'd him and he was offered an F-16 when another ARC guy didn't make the FAR cut.

This should be fun! The 80 year old with demonstrable cognitive decline is going to run for President again! As opposed to putting the nation through the whole FJB vs Orange Man Bad again, I say we put on a pay per view (funds go to pay down debt) death cage match and the winner is exiled to Epstein Island. Win, win, win for everyone.

The VFR arrival instructions into LaGuardia were a hoot. "Fly to the Lady and up the river." Can't remember the altitude but I remember I couple nice views of Times Square.

Just makes me wonder what will be offensive tomorrow. It's amusing when the offended stumble into being offensive and are socially guillotined like the leaders of the French revolution.

True. And this does nothing to improve or sustain our ability to kill people or break their stuff but that isn't the priory of those in charge.

A sad example of someone who appeared to be happy and literally put in front of the public to celebrate their authenticity but it wasn't enough to overcome mental challenges. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11895171/amp/Trans-flight-attendant-25-gained-fame-United-Airlines-commercial-kills-herself.html

There's still that whole suicide ideation rate that far exceeds the normal population so you've got that to deal with even after the 3 year wait.

Just flew a trip with a Check Airman and those that identify under DEI categories are getting double the number of IOE flights to qualify. White guys (his words, not mine) get 5 and out. I'm thinking you must really suck to require 5 attempts at IOE so sucking twice as much can't be good.

Yeah, what Brabus said.

The big takeaways are 1. Officer Sicknick did not die on Jan 6th but the media, FJB, the AG, and democrats knew it and lied. Worse, they continue to lie in some cases. 2. The DOJ intentionally failed to disclose evidence as required by constitutional law. They lied to the court. 3. Democrats trashed a couple centuries of precedence by not allowing the minority party to select their committee members, did not allow counter arguments or evidence, and staged a show trial that would have made Stalin proud. In other words, there is no lie too big even if it means the destruction of the truth, legal protections, and the legislative process in order to further the advancement of power. Scary shit right there.

Good Ukraine pro/con debate on the Dan Crenshaw podcast. It was a formal structured debate with each side able to present their argument. The con side was presented by a William Ruger.

The Daily Wire responds to Hershey going woke by introducing their own chocolate bar. The She Her bar is chocolate and the He Him bar is also chocolate but has nuts. The video is pretty darn funny. https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeremys-chocolate-sells-more-than-200000-chocolate-bars-in-under-36-hours

There are a whole lot of "medical experts" that need a good bitch slap and told to just shut the fuck up next time.

Good point. I fly wide body international so it's pretty clear cut where you can carry. (Rumors are 2 European countries are going to be added but not sure of the timeline.) Flying narrow body with a domestic/international mix with constant changes to your sequence would really make for a pain in the ass.

FFDO training is great for increasing your handgun skills with the added bonus of telling the TSA to pack sand.

Did AA recurrent training last month and they had a compilation video of vehicles hitting jets or almost hitting jets. The total number of hits on aircraft was over 200. My personal favorite was a high speed baggage tug dragging several carts and the driver makes a sharp turn thus throwing himself out of the tug. And, as our intrepid driver collects road rash bouncing and rolling across the concrete, the now driverless tug and carts careen into another tug and carts. I'm guessing we aren't hiring our best and brightest for these jobs. But it is nice to know that those guys can just swipe a card to enter the airport secure area while 50% or better of pilots are getting tagged for additional screening.
