They say I'm disabled, only 80% combat effective. Rabid fan of decentralization, human rights, and republics over authoritarian regimes.

Patriots will rally to this flag, but CA is going to have to meet them halfway. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Recharter and resource the California State Guard before it's too late.
Very few people have these higher medals/award so we gonna have to conuslt the rules, but it looks ok to me. DDSM and DFC(s) might be out of order, and then Legion of merit possibly? What an little a$$hole the SECDEF truly is.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is seeking to humiliate an American hero.

Senator Kelly flew 39 combat missions during the Gulf War in 1991 and flew four space shuttle missions (commanding two of them).

People destroying our country by divisive means not limited to the right. Biden and Harris had a chance to champion crypto instead of cede the battlefield to Trump which he readily exploited.

The majority of Americans being used as human batteries by Wall Street was rejected during Occupy (Obama)
Happy Thanksgiving, crypto bros. Enjoy!

When the Govt is actually trying to murder people you would think a full scale revolt can't be far behind.
“Federal prosecutors dismiss charges against Marimar Martinez, shot by a Border Patrol agent multiple times after allegedly using her car to assault federal law enforcement in Chicago…”

So THEY rammed HER, shot her, and bragged about “5 shots, 7 holes”

Along with the Quatari F-15QA (Eagle II) this is yet another strategic blunder on the part of Trump admin. Strategic air power and the US (soon to be former) dominance of it is for OUR DEFENSE.

I might be in love with Mary Bruce now.

yep, I'm sure of it.
Reporter: Is it appropriate for your family to do business with Saudi Arabia while you’re president? The us intelligence concluded you orchestrated the murder of a journalist…

Trump: Who are you with?

some wise choices are still being made by SOME citizens and their advocacy groups.

CEO brain rot. Are these guys all doing Ketamine trying to be Caligula since that behavior seems to have minted the first trillionaire?

How can anyone possibly top this for aberrant behavior?

congress setting itself up for enrichment grifts like Trump, and locking out future investgations it knows are coming post Trump. No media reports....
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

When Democrats become a bigger threat to private companies and free markets, come wake me up.

Until then, zip it.

Wondering what she must be like? You can find her talking about politics if you search, sadly I did. Cut from same cloth as Stephen Miller's wife, no surprises.
Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives

If the people you follow just broadcast to you never replying or liking your responses, dump 'em.

Don't be in the business of making a platform for anyone just telling you like it is.

It's arrogant, it's lazy, it's an invitation for you be fed AI and the hired help giving their statements.

Overgrown Naval base Roosevelt Roads. The airfield is about the only place that was somewhat kept up besides a few commerical sections. Most of the facilities reclaimed by the jungle, can still sit on the beach with a negroni I guess.
🇺🇸‼️ The U.S. has issued a NOTAM restricting airspace off the coast of Ceiba, Puerto Rico, from November 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, citing “special security reasons.”

Some interesting history of SOF and nuclear weapons. These are not guys with the "football" these are actual weapons and presumably, the fuses.

History of this primarily 10th SFG though Wikipedia lists 7th which given current events is kind of funny.

The new gilded age they say. We have been cruising since the last one as they steadily chipped away at us.

Now comes the moment again.

A war was fought on American soil in our cities and labor markets for generations, and we won.

Then we forgot and grew complacent. They never forgot.

This is basically a combo of JDAM and small diameter bomb as a "kit" for dumb bombs. Multiple antenna array negates GLONASS jamming, you have to target the source as defense.

F-16 doesn't really have a missile counter to this situation from Ukraine. Super Hornet, F35, and Gripen do.

Marco Rubio?

These are not only the new countires in NATO but the NEW NATO itself.

Who is out? Certainly the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, USA, Turkey, Greece, (maybe) entire Balkan peninsula.

Only those commited to having a military and mil industrial base with political fortitude should stay.

Trump's Theorem: Everything Trump says it will cost should be doubled, and anything Trump says was saved or earned should be halved.
it's cute that people think this is only going to cost 250M.

Very rare to get an "I told you so" of such epic proportions. Watch for no one being relieved as a sign that even the Marines are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, becasue nothing to see here if nothing bad happened....
