  1. Absolutely frightening, but not something e didn't know. Confidence in our gov the last year an a half? Watch this. Biden has had no idea.
  2. So typical of NBC crap. She throws out an editorial comment that is misleading, then says "lets move on." I watched the Today Show, another NBC production the day after Biden pardoned Soros. They reported the pardons and named some names, but never mentioned Soros, who was clearly "the" stroy.
  3. But cannot be read except by teleprompter, Pause.
  4. Small technical point, but that is not Air Force One. Air Force One is only designated that when the president is on board. Further, that is a 757, usually used for the Sec of State, VP or others.
  5. Schiff was as expected, just a complete goof, and I thought Bondi humiliated him. No surprise. The real disappointment was Tom Kaine, who has a history of snuggling up to Bill Clinton, going full offense regarding marital issues. He was his usual ill-groomed self, looking like he just got out of bed, but he's usually a bit more classy and disciplined than that crap show. Just horrible. Overall, the Dems looked like they were in election tantrum mode and acting out. I respect them less and less.
  6. Banning birth right citizenship is a necessity. Grossly abused and should have been done away with years ago.
  7. I believe it is you that can't understand the point. If a population decides to throw off a gov, it can be done, and it isn't that hard.
  8. Typical, absolute nonsense. No surprise.
  9. Cubans can decide what they want to do, just like the Americans did in 1776. If they choose to remain under their current gov, let them. If they choose otherwise, so be it. Not our issue to lead them to water.
  10. Nonsense. Cuba aligned itself with the Soviet Union for economic and political reasons. The "base" thing is a red herring. I get the sympathy for Cuba, but they have chosen their path for decades, and it is what it is.
  11. By the way, did your tour group ever consider that the reason the issue still exists is because the Cuban gov wants it to? "Cause if the status quo was changed there would be no need for them? This is ridiculous.
  12. Glad to, as I'm not interested. I have no desire to continue the Cuban policy. What I will point out is that the Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden administrations have maintained the status quo, for their own reasons. You know better. Visiting beaches isn't talking to diplomatic mission people. Been there.
  13. I find your "visit" posts to be humerous. This isn't the first time you have done this. I recall you visited the UK a couple of years ago and informed us on the way they think. Are you serious? Tourists know nothing of value in a brief trip. Want to know about Cuba? Talk to the people in the US diplomatic mission there. People who have lived and worked there for years, not some clown from a charter flight or cruise ship. I have no objection to eliminating the embargo, but I have been there quite a few times and carried many people and their spouses that serve in that diplomatic corps, and they might have a different opinion than you.
  14. Incisive post. Look at the Dem party. Notice how a good deal of influence comes from the tech industry in the San Francisco South Bay, which is the tech industry, and the entertainment industry? It's been that way for years. Soros is disgusting, but Biden's "warning" is a preposterous hypocritical item of nonsense. Pelosi. Harris. Newsome. Biden and his family are bought and paid for, from a different root of political purchasing, but similar.
  15. This will never pass. This kind of action is exactly what got Virginia Gov. Glenn Younkin elected. He was behind in the polls until a stupid school board decided to leap frog parental consent. That singlular move led to his election and probable national candidate possibility, as he is now quite popular.
  16. A career military officer simply cannot make this "mistake." He is in the National Command Authority that makes decisions regarding nuclear response, and was "missing." I think it has a lot to do with the affirmed claim that Cabinet Secretaries could not get in touch with Biden. The entire operation was a dysfunctional mess, but whether or not that is true, his MIA is completely unacceptable.
  17. I fully expect there to be a bit of a rough patch here. The military, this past year, has been put into a position that is very likely to effect retention and recruiting. That has yet to play out, statistically, and it may be an issue for a couple years. Fixing that is going to take time, and I hope the press and the public understands that, as well as I hope the man is successful. While I don not blame the military for the Afghan withdrawal disaster, there are people in positions that could be replaced, and that is desirable. Biden was presented options by SECDEF and Chairman JCS for keeping Bagram Air Base opened and defended, and he, or whomever is running this thing refused, resulting in the embarrassing disaster.
  18. Weathered enough to have seen the Stratton hit on Keith Lincoln in the 64 championship, when we were behind and they were moving the ball successfully again, at that game changing point. I think the 65 team was a bit better. On the stat thing, we had a dominant defense as you pointed out, with freakish continuity, but we did not face NFL offenses which were better than AFL ones. Again, I think we were on the downside at the end of 66, and were killed on our home field by the Chiefs. Specifically, I think Kemp was on the downside, Gilchrist was gone and Joe Collier was the head coach. I think a matchup against the Packers at that time would have had a "sub optimal outcome." and the Chiefs were much better at that point.
  19. I'll take a shot at that one, as I was around then, and very attentive. I was quite sure they would have been handily defeated. The BIlls had started to decline at that point, and Kansas City was ascending. The Chiefs had more talent and were far more creative on offense, and Otis Taylor was very much a threat to any NFL team. I thought the Packers would have killed the Bills, who were far better in '65.
  20. If you don't think there needs to be a refocusing in our military, you are not aware of the views of mid level officers and enlisted.
  21. Given the fiscal performance of our Congress, this may be the single most bizarre post I have ever seen.
  22. Well that was a quick turn around. So now it is part of our history.
  23. This is an absurd statement. You don't need to support the Confederacy to acknowledge it is part of our history, just as native American history is part of our history. Speaking from the view of a person who lives in the county where this crap started, this has been a stupid, really stupid enterprise. Flags at half mast for a month is just as useless and goofy.
  24. It is relevant, and if you want some more relevance, who did the Biden groups nominate for Chief of Naval Operations? The most qualified, the one the service leaders recommended? Nope. Their nominee was selected because she was a woman. Arguably qualified, bit never the best candidate. I could name of few other examples in other areas, but they didn't make it through Senate hearings, so I won't bother.
