A LOVE LETTER TO THE UGLIEST, MOST IMPORTANT AIRPLANE AMERICA EVER BUILT I am a physics teacher. I teach my students that when a pattern repeats itself enough times, it stops being coincidence and starts being data. When the data contradicts the conclusion, you do not defend the conclusion. You throw it out and follow the data. The Air Force has tried to retire the A-10 Warthog approximately seven times. Seven. Every single time -- EVERY single time -- a real shooting war starts, the retirement plan quietly vanishes and the Warthog shows back up doing the job no other aircraft on earth does as well. You would think that pattern would eventually produce a different conclusion in the procurement meetings. You would be wrong. But the data does not lie, even when the meetings do. Right now. Day 26 of Operation Epic Fury. TODAY. A-10 Warthogs are over the Straits of Hormuz turning Iranian fast-attack boats into what I am going to generously call floating scrap. 120-plus Iranian naval vessels sunk or damaged. Missile and drone threat capability reduced by over 90 percent. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dan Caine, confirmed it publicly: the A-10 is "hunting and killing fast-attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz." The plane they tried to retire seven times. So I wrote it a love letter. Because somebody should, and the people who keep trying to kill it apparently are not going to. --- THE THING ABOUT UGLY PLANES --- The A-10 does not look like a fighter jet. It looks like an engineer was handed a GAU-8 Avenger cannon -- a seven-barreled Gatling gun the SIZE of a Volkswagen Beetle that fires 30mm depleted uranium at 3,900 rounds per minute -- and told to build an airplane around it. Because that is almost exactly what happened. The engine pods stick out from the tail section like afterthoughts. The landing gear leaves a little bulge hanging down. The nose is blunt. The entire aircraft has the aesthetic of something designed by someone who was given very specific requirements and then ran out of time to make it pretty. Beautiful aircraft are designed around aerodynamics. Around stealth. Around marketability to congressional appropriators who have never heard a radio call with their own name on it. The A-10 was designed around one question: how do we keep the pilot alive while he or she puts steel exactly where the guys on the ground need it in the next thirty seconds? Everything else was secondary. Not unimportant. Secondary. EVERYTHING flows from that philosophy. The titanium bathtub cockpit that stops 23mm cannon rounds. The redundant hydraulic systems so that one hit does not end the flight. The widely-separated engine pods so that a single strike does not take out both powerplants simultaneously. The foam-filled self-sealing fuel tanks. The manual reversion backup system -- cables, physical mechanical linkages -- so that if ALL hydraulics fail completely, the pilot can still fly the aircraft home using nothing but the original mechanical connection between the stick and the control surfaces and whatever is left in his or her arms. This is not 1970s technology that forgot to modernize. This is 1970s design philosophy that has never once been proven wrong. There is a difference. It matters enormously. Pay attention to it. --- APRIL 7, 2003. BAGHDAD. I NEED YOU TO STAY WITH ME ON THIS ONE. --- Her name is Kim Campbell. Callsign: Killer Chick. At the time of this story she was a lieutenant colonel. She was flying an A-10A on a close air support mission over Baghdad on April 7th, 2003. The city was not, to put it mildly, a low-threat environment at that particular moment. The kind of place where you are not surprised by problems. You are only surprised by which specific problem arrives next. Her aircraft took a direct hit from enemy ground fire. Not a graze. Not a proximity burst. A DIRECT HIT. The hit destroyed both hydraulic systems -- both circuits, completely -- and caused significant structural damage to the airframe throughout. Modern aircraft are hydraulically controlled. Move the stick, a computer interprets the input, hydraulic actuators move the control surfaces, the aircraft goes where you point it. Lose hydraulics, you lose actuators. Lose actuators, you lose the ability to move the surfaces that make the aircraft fly in any direction you choose. She switched to manual reversion. This is the part I need you to actually understand. Manual reversion is not a computer backup. It is not a redundant digital system. It is a set of mechanical cables -- physical metal cables running through pulleys -- that create a direct mechanical link between the control stick and the control surfaces. No hydraulic assistance. No computational amplification. Just the pilot's actual physical strength and the mechanical connection the A-10's designers installed in the 1970s because they assumed -- correctly, as it turned out -- that real combat would produce real damage, and they were not going to let a hydraulic failure kill the pilot if they had any engineering say in the matter. She flew that aircraft in manual reversion for over an hour. Over hostile territory. Aware that both hydraulic circuits were gone. Not certain what else might be structurally compromised. Not certain what the next problem was going to be. Just flying. Counting on the cables. Counting on the design philosophy of people who thought about this moment before she was born. She landed it safely. She was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Now I want you to answer a very simple question for me. What is the manual reversion backup system on the F-35? There is not one. The F-35 is fly-by-wire. All pilot inputs go through flight control computers. If those systems are compromised beyond a specific threshold, you are not flying home on cables. There are no cables. That is not a criticism of the F-35 -- it is a description of a fundamentally different design philosophy that makes different assumptions about what happens when things go wrong. The A-10's design assumption: IT IS GOING TO GET HIT. Build it to survive that. The F-35's design assumption: DON'T GET DETECTED. Avoid the hit entirely. Both assumptions are valid. Both platforms fulfill their design philosophy remarkably well. The problem is that the people arguing we should retire the A-10 and replace it entirely with the F-35 apparently believe that only one of these assumptions ever applies. And the people who have been in the situations where the first assumption turned out to be the relevant one have a different perspective on that. Killer Chick flew home on cables. That is not mythology. That is the result of someone in 1974 asking "what if both hydraulic systems get destroyed?" and then building the answer into the airframe fifty years before she needed it. I find that extraordinarily moving. I make no apologies for that. --- THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP SHOWING UP TO TESTIFY --- Every time Congress schedules a retirement hearing, something predictable happens. The Air Force arrives with slides. Acquisition cost comparisons. Sortie generation models. Capability matrices that look rigorous and data-driven from altitude. Then the Army shows up. The Marine Corps shows up. The Special Operations Forces community shows up. The Joint Terminal Attack Controllers -- the JTACs, the men and women whose specific job is to call in airstrikes from the ground while people are actively shooting at them -- they show up. And they use words the Air Force slides do not have a column for. Words like "guardian angel." That is a direct quote from official congressional testimony. Not my framing. Not an editorial embellishment. An actual operator, in front of an actual congressional committee, on the record, describing the A-10 as a guardian angel. You know what that phrase means when it comes from someone who has been in the situation where they needed it? It does not mean "highly capable integrated fire support asset." It means: I was in a bad place, the radio call went through, that aircraft showed up, and the calculus of whether I was going home changed completely. The Air Force does not have a metric for that. Because the Air Force is not the one in the bad place. The JTAC is. I want to talk about the sound too, because it gets dismissed in procurement discussions and it absolutely should not be. The A-10's engine note -- low, grinding, distinctive -- travels in a way nothing else in the inventory replicates. The GAU-8 firing -- that BRRRRT that people describe as either the most beautiful or most terrifying sound they have ever heard depending entirely on which side of it they were on -- is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in modern combat. The documented effect of that sound on enemy combatants is real. It has been recorded in prisoner debriefs. It disrupts coordinated attacks. It changes behavior before a single round lands. A fast mover at 20,000 feet that makes a high-speed pass and is gone in four seconds does not produce that effect. The aircraft that LOITERS -- that circles, that can be seen, that you know is watching, that can stay for hours -- that produces that effect. Psychological disruption of enemy coordination is not a soft metric. It is a force multiplier. It is one of the reasons people who have needed close air support in sustained firefights keep showing up to congressional hearings and using words like guardian angel. The A-10 loiters at $6,000 a flight hour. The F-35 loiters at $30,000 to $35,000 a flight hour. I have a sixteen-year-old student who ran that ratio in about forty-five seconds. She found the math straightforward. I am not going to complicate it on her behalf. --- THE FLY-OFF THE AIR FORCE TRIED TO BURY --- The 2017 National Defense Authorization Act mandated a formal side-by-side comparison. A-10C versus F-35A. Close air support. Airborne forward air control. Combat search and rescue. The Air Force was not enthusiastic about this idea. The Chief of Staff at the time, General Mark Welsh, called it publicly -- on the record, in front of reporters -- a "silly exercise." A silly exercise. The tests ran from April 2018 through March 2019. The final report was completed in February 2022. The Air Force then declined to release it. Fought Freedom of Information Act requests. The Project On Government Oversight eventually had to sue them in federal court to obtain it. When it came out -- over a year late, under legal pressure -- it was so heavily redacted that key findings remain hidden from public view to this day. I want you to think about that sequence. They fought the test. They ran the test anyway. They buried the results for more than a year. They released a redacted version only after being dragged into court. That is not the behavior of an organization confident in what its data showed. Here is what the report actually found, even through the redactions. The A-10's typical loadout enabled MORE attacks per sortie than the F-35. Not equal. More. To hit the same number of targets, you need more F-35 sorties. That might be manageable if the F-35 had strong availability. It does not. A 2023 Government Accountability Office report found the full mission capable rate of the entire F-35 fleet was BELOW 50 PERCENT. Below fifty. Half the jets in the fleet are unavailable on any given day. So you need MORE sorties from an aircraft available LESS often. That is not a capability gap. That is a capability crater. And it is going to get someone killed in the next sustained conflict. The F-35's gun -- the GAU-22, 25mm -- has documented accuracy problems. The report actually contained a specific recommendation that the Air Force "fix the F-35A gun." It carries 181 rounds total. The A-10's GAU-8 carries 1,350 rounds of 30mm. A-10 pilots reported SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER workload than F-35 pilots on the most complex and task-intensive mission sets. Here is the detail that made me put the report down and sit quietly for a while. As of the testing period, F-35 pilots had ZERO dedicated training requirements for close air support missions. Not reduced requirements. Zero. So the test designers specifically selected former A-10 pilots to fly the F-35 in the comparison, to "minimize the impact" of that training gap. They stacked the F-35 side of the test with pilots who already knew how to do the A-10's job. The former A-10 pilots, flying the F-35, still did not outperform the A-10 they used to fly. Let that land for a moment. The testers gave the F-35 the best possible advantage they could construct. Picked the pilots most likely to make it look competitive. And the results still ended up buried in a drawer for a year, released only under court order, and heavily redacted when they finally appeared. As I tell my students: when the data keeps getting suppressed, you do not actually need to see the data to understand the general direction it points. --- WHAT I KNOW ABOUT WAITING --- I was a line medic in Iraq. Combat medic. Actual forward operating base. Actual radio. Actual contact. I want to explain something about what it feels like to wait for air support from the ground, because I do not think the people making these procurement decisions have spent much time thinking about it from this angle, and I think they should be required to before they vote. In a near-peer conflict without established air superiority, we were told to plan for 48-hour medical response windows. Forty-eight hours. I am also a former civilian paramedic. Cleveland. I know what the golden hour means not as a phrase but as a clinical reality. The window -- roughly sixty minutes -- inside which surgical intervention makes the difference between a soldier walking home and a soldier arriving in a flag-draped box. Tension pneumothorax. Hemorrhagic shock. Traumatic brain injury. All survivable. All survivable if you reach a surgeon within an hour. Not survivable after two days of waiting for a medevac helicopter that cannot fly because there is no air cover to protect it on final approach into the landing zone. When the A-10 is overhead, the medevac can fly. Not because the A-10 is magic. Because the A-10 suppresses the ground fire that would shoot the helicopter down. The A-10 keeps the approach corridor clear. The A-10 is the reason the helicopter makes it to the landing zone and the reason the kid bleeding out from a femoral artery wound is still alive when it arrives. The people calculating sortie generation rates and procurement cost ratios in air-conditioned offices in the Pentagon have not done that specific math. I have. Standing in places where it was not hypothetical. I do not apologize for the fact that those numbers mean something different to me than they do to someone who has only ever seen them on a spreadsheet. --- WHAT WE ACTUALLY BUILD NEXT --- I am not arguing we fly forty-year-old airframes forever. Metal fatigue is real. Physics does not negotiate. The youngest A-10 in the current fleet is older than the parents of some of my students. That is not a sustainable maintenance reality and anyone who tells you otherwise is not engaging honestly with the engineering. What I am arguing is: BUILD A NEW ONE. An A-10X. Clean-sheet design. Same mission philosophy. Fifty years of technological advancement applied deliberately to the platform rather than pasted onto an aging airframe. Modern high-bypass turbofan engines. More thrust. 25 to 30 percent better fuel efficiency. Lower infrared signature from better exhaust mixing. And specifically engineered from the start to work WITH the GAU-8 rather than tolerating it. Gun-gas ingestion is a documented issue on the current TF34s -- active flow control systems and modern combustion chamber design can eliminate it. You build the airplane around the gun. You build the ENGINES around the gun. That philosophy has not changed and it should not. Selective radar-absorbent materials on leading edges and key surfaces. Not stealth. Low-observable. The goal is not invisibility -- it is cutting detection range from 40 kilometers to 15 or 20, which gives the pilot enough time to react and deploy countermeasures. A SAM system that sees the current A-10 at 40 kilometers sees the A-10X at 15. The pilot has 25 extra kilometers of reaction time. That is survivability engineering. Not magic. Not science fiction. Materials that exist today and work today. A compact AESA radar -- pylon-mounted or conformal, leveraging arrays already in production for F-16 and F/A-18 programs -- under $10 million per aircraft for integration. Ground moving target indication. Synthetic aperture mapping. Self-defense air-to-air tracking for threat awareness. In electronic attack mode, the same array can jam enemy search radars. Software-defined. Redundant. Armored the same way every other critical system on the aircraft is armored. Updated armor suite -- hybrid titanium-ceramic composite with aerogel thermal insulation. Same or better protection at 20 to 30 percent less weight. The freed-up weight goes to payload. The aerogel also reduces infrared signature at the low altitudes where IR-guided shoulder-fired missiles are the primary threat. This is not experimental technology. It exists in industrial applications right now. Loyal wingman integration. Control stations for four to six semi-autonomous drones under pilot supervision. They scout ahead. They carry additional munitions. They draw fire away from the manned aircraft. They act as radar decoys. The pilot issues high-level commands and the AI handles tactical execution. One airframe becomes a multi-platform strike package without proportionally increasing what the pilot has to manage in the cockpit. The GAU-8 stays. Not up for debate. You do not redesign the part that has worked correctly for fifty years. You give it programmable airburst rounds for troops in the open, improved armor-piercing for vehicle targets, and a smarter ballistic computer integrated with AESA ranging data. Same gun. More capable gun. Still pointed at whatever the enemy least wants it pointed at. Cost per airframe in a production run of 200-plus: $80 to $120 million. Half the price of an F-35. Dramatically lower operating costs. In a 100-sortie operational day the cost difference between the A-10X and the F-35 is roughly $2 million. Per day. In a campaign that runs for weeks or months, someone in a budget meeting should be required to say that number out loud before the vote. --- THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE PROBLEM --- The A-10 community is the only one in the United States Air Force that still produces fully qualified Forward Air Controllers Airborne. FAC(A). The skill set that makes combined arms operations actually function -- multiple aircraft, ground coordination, danger-close fires in complex environments, all managed simultaneously by a single aircrew who have spent their entire careers learning this specific mission and nothing else. That knowledge lives in people. Specifically in A-10 pilots. When those pilots retire, it does not transfer to a file on a shared drive. It goes with them. The techniques, the instincts, the understanding of what a ground controller actually needs versus what he is saying on the radio -- that leaves the Air Force when the pilots who carry it leave the Air Force. The current plan involves zero dedicated CAS training requirements for F-35 pilots. They are retiring the one community specifically trained for this mission and replacing it with a community that does not train for the mission at all. I ask my students a version of this problem sometimes. If you eliminate your only chemistry teacher and replace them with a math teacher who has never studied chemistry and has no plans to learn it, what happens to the chemistry program? They always get it right. They are teenagers. An A-10X program keeps the community alive. Current pilots transition to the new platform. The institutional knowledge stays in the Air Force. The training pipeline continues. The decades of hard-won understanding of how to actually support troops in contact when things go wrong gets passed to the next generation instead of walking out the door with the people who currently hold it. --- THE CLOSING ARGUMENT --- The people who keep showing up to testify -- year after year, hearing after hearing, retirement announcement after retirement announcement -- are not defense contractors protecting a revenue stream. They are Army officers and Marine officers and SOF operators and JTACs who have been in the bad place, made the radio call, and watched what happened next. They use the phrase "guardian angel" in official congressional testimony on the official record, and then they go home, and the Air Force prepares another retirement package. I want us to stop having this conversation every two years. I want someone in the Pentagon to look at the operational results from Day 26 of Operation Epic Fury -- 120-plus vessels, 90-plus percent threat reduction, zero A-10 losses -- look at the fly-off results they tried to suppress, look at twenty years of testimony from ground troops they keep ignoring, and say the thing out loud that the data has been saying for decades: NOT EVERY MISSION REQUIRES A $200 MILLION STEALTH PLATFORM. Some missions require something that flies low and slow and loiters for hours and absorbs a hit and brings the pilot home on cables when everything else has failed. Build the A-10X. Keep the community. Preserve the institutional knowledge. Let Killer Chick's generation train the next one. One F-35A took a hit during this campaign. Enemy fire bypassed its stealth. Emergency landing. Pilot with shrapnel wounds. The aircraft returned safely and I am genuinely glad about that. Zero A-10s have been lost. The titanium bathtub. The redundant systems. The design philosophy of people who assumed the aircraft would get hit and built the answer in before anyone who flies it was born. That philosophy is worth preserving. That philosophy is worth building again. The Warthog does not need your respect. It just needs your enemy to look up. Now -- should we build the A-10X, or do we retire the close air support mission entirely and hope the F-35 figures it out in the next shooting war? I genuinely want to hear from people who have been on the ground. Reply below. I will be here. But what do I know -- I am only a physics teacher and former Army combat medic who stood in a combat zone in Iraq and learned firsthand what it feels like to wait for that radio call to go through, who was a civilian paramedic in Cleveland and understands the golden hour as something other than a phrase, who wrote the textbook currently being used to teach the next generation how the physical world actually works, and who has completely run out of patience for procurement decisions made by people who have never once had to make that call themselves. #MAGA #Veterans #Trump @JackPosobiec @EndWokeness @catturd2

I grew up in Bruce Springsteen's hometown. His song "My Hometown" is LITERALLY about my hometown. Springsteen’s music was the anthem of my teenage years. The town is called Freehold, New Jersey. A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc. was a giant carpet mill in Freehold that was once the town’s single biggest employer. It shut down and moved away in 1964. That act of taking away a town’s jobs to move them to where labor was vastly cheaper DEVASTATED that community. Freehold became impoverished and almost a ghost town, taking decades to recover. All of the themes in Bruce’s early work about the indignities heaped upon the working man stem directly from the pain he, his family and his neighbors experienced when that carpet mill moved away to chase cheaper labor costs elsewhere. The theme of the betrayed working man streams across all of his early albums with a heartfelt sincerity that was borne of painful experience. The albums “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” and “Nebraska” in particular resonate with the mournful howls of the betrayed laborer whose calloused hands meant nothing to the bosses who had thanklessly reaped the rewards of his pain and sweat. Early on, Bruce really and truly did speak for the working man. But somewhere in Hollywood he lost his way. Now, it’s 2026 and the singular domestic agenda of President Donald J. Trump is to bring back American manufacturing jobs from offshore and to restore the dignity, pride and wealth of the working everyman. And Bruce SPITS ON THAT to appeal to his Hollywood cronies. When you understand this background about Bruce, his behavior comes into sharp focus as perhaps the very most disgusting behavior of any pop star alive in America today. He has betrayed the everyman he once championed. SHAME ON YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. The young man who once wrote these lyrics would find you disgusting: "Early in the morning, factory whistle blows Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light It's the working, the working, just the working life Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life The working, the working, just the working life End of the day, factory whistle cries Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes And you just better believe, boy, somebody's gonna get hurt tonight It's the working, the working, just the working life 'Cause it's the working, the working, just the working life"
Mark Hemingway@Heminator

Springsteen is the youngest person on this bill — he’s 76. Sanders is the second youngest. He’s 84.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just told Leader Thune and the Senate GOP to NUKE the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act and reopen DHS He's right! "When is “enough, enough” for our Republican Senators. There comes a time when you must do what should have been done a long time ago, and something which the Lunatic Democrats will do on day one, if they ever get the chance." "TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and get our airports, and everything else, moving again. Also, add the complete, all five items, SAVE AMERICA ACT items. Go for the Gold!!" 🔥🔥 This is the right move.

It is not "informed consent" when the government mandates you get an experimental "vaccine" (that is not actually a vaccine) and withholds the known side effects from the public. This isn't difficult. You don't need to be the greatest lawyer of all-time to prosecute this 🔻
