Amen. It's a concerning indictment that our system promotes dudes like this, or at least let him slip *up* through the cracks to such a high-profile position as the vice superintendent of the Air Force Academy. This guy is anything but a role-model. His article shows how thoroughly and wholly his thinking has consumed an explicitly racist ideology. That he is unable to see it would be extremely concerning to me if I was serving under him. His intentional and repeated use of 'white/Black' fell in lock-step with the racial crusaders' recommended use of the English language circa 2020: There's plenty more. It's a good thing this guy is currently side-lined, and I can only hope he never gets to wear a star. Tommy Tuberville, if you're reading this, you go girl. Airmen who served under him deserved better, and future airmen who would still do. Must be a pain for everyone around him that they had to work for someone so dumb.

Walking is the single most healthy and easiest exercise their is. It is not hard to walk multiple miles a day, yet we need pills and other shortcuts to solve what are truly simple problems. It's amazing to me what we've deceived ourselves into believing.

Easy solution? If you get conscripted you can turn it down, but you have to leave the country and forfeit your citizenship. No free lunch. If you want to be a part of society, you have to play. You don't get to continue being a citizen in the country to which you are unwilling to provide a service to.

Of course this has absolutely nothing to do with genetics. It's a simple energy conservation problem from Physics 101. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Fats who want to convince me they're fat because of genetics are asking me to believe a conspiracy theory.

@BashiChuni, I want Ukraine to win, but that is absolutely absurd statement by Yellen. Up is down.

It's hard to write a statement as short as this but which contains as much truth as it does...

I saw a side-by-side of Dylan Mulvaney's first day as a chick alongside this movie's spoof of that day...let's just say it's tough to tell which one is satire and/or intentionally degrading.

Blackface is. BLACKRED face is something new. We're not sure if it's offensive yet. We'll have to wait for the left to tell us.

UFB...err, wait...I meant totally believable. Par for the left.

It also would have made for absolutely fantastic YouTube clips - like, on the order of the Kyle Rittenhouse show.

Not disagreeing with you, but in fairness, CHOP/CHAZ and what it represented - i.e. a government in name only / chaos - is third-world-type shit too...

Especially that one.

Well, you do put the 'u' in 'turd' - no one can argue that...

"Turn the GD temperature DOWN!!! Jesus Christ." --- "What?"

I hope they do the second one.

You saying this unironically is peak you. Overturning Roe was a good thing, though it may have bought some R losses for a while, it was a shitty legal fiction that needed to go, and it's after-effects will subside in time. You are right about one thing, though, most Americans agree that there should be some restrictions on abortion. You construing this as being anti-republican, however, is confusing. If most people are ok with some abortion but not unrestricted, then why is it still such an issue for the left? I'm not sure your characterization that the left doesn't want abortion on demand is actually true. Most on the left use such notions as "life of the mother", rape, incest, etc (i.e. some other extreme justification) to serve as the justification when the know good and well that it's really about getting it approved because they consider it a family planning tool - which is the justification you quoted in your post. So sure, there's some elections to be lost for a while. I'm fine with that. This is merely the first step in getting back to a rational basis for abortion. The next step is defining the issue more clearly so it rules out the real crime, which is abortion "because I want one." The "life of the mother" trope is precisely that: a trope. It was never illegal in this country for a woman to get an abortion if her life was in danger. Don't take my word for it, though, here's the Texas law that Roe overturned (https://www.sll.texas.gov/assets/pdf/historical-statutes/1925/1925-3-penal-code-of-the-state-of-texas.pdf#page=278). Read it yourself if you don't believe me, but it's your side that has been propagandized and spouts non-starters as if they're informed on the issue or historical context. In reality, your lack of SA is on blast. So yeah, the left wants abortion because they believe it's a family planning tool, or a "bodily autonomy" issue, or some other such nonsense, but they use the above tropes as emotional wedges because it's easier to sell it that way. You know that and so does everyone else. So let's not avoid the issue by saying it's all about the "health of the mother" because it isn't, and it never was. Eliminating abortion at any point for frivolous reasons is what this is all about and most Americans agree that it shouldn't be used as birth control. That's all I get from the poll you posted.

One tenet helps me dive into issues like this that are so baffling (not saying you're confused). Namely, that there is no such thing as a contradiction in nature. If something like this doesn't fit (which it clearly does not), it's because we misunderstand something. That "thing" as far as I can tell, is that the left is simply trying to upset the current power dynamic in the world. Whatever their reason - which I don't claim to know - it's the reason for this chaos. It's a tactic in order to create space to allow a different world view, philosophy, or power structure to arise.

Too late...

My take: you're waaaaaaaaay overthinking this.

Dude, not to be pedantic, but turd is spelled with a 'u'.

Boom. Roasted. Stroke of a pen.

Rog. And I hear you. I will say though, that I've yet to see such immediate and blatant disregard for the rule of law. Exhibit #1 is the student loan "forgiveness" debacle. Joe Biden loses it in court, and then immediately turns around and says "fuck that." This is dangerously corrosive to the underlying system we have in place.

This is a good idea. It makes it very clear what certain things mean (i.e. the 2nd amendment) when you read the document in whole. It always baffles me why people zoom into the microcosm that is an amendment, while discarding the rest of the document. You'd think that the Constitution didn't mention militia anywhere else besides in the 2nd. When read in whole, there is no question why the phrase "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" was added.

You're referring to our current administration, right? The guy who loses a case in the Supreme Court and then immediately disregards the decision, turns around, and does the very thing that was just called illegal?

Most of what you said was true, buuuuuuuut it's also wholly irrelevant. Since the vaccine doesn't stop transmission, it's not anyone's business whether or not you decide to take it. This is a free country, and that means people get to make decisions for themselves, both good and bad. Think about your logic for 2 seconds dude. The vaccine was forced on all of us, and yet everyone got exposed anyway. Read that last part over and over until it sinks in.
