@MikeHusband2599 @MudcatOakCliff @RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY Allegations of "it was S. Korea spying for the CIA" are stupid. The pilot flat-out said it was not an RC-135. Soviet paranoia, and knowledge that failure to obey standing orders (destroy any intruder) meant exile or worse for anyone involved & their family, lead to the downing.

@Kodos13_ @MudcatOakCliff @RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY They saw that it was a B747 and it was lit up. Not an American Air Force RC-135 that was dark like they thought it was. It was murder. It is not its job to shoot down a lit up civilian airliner.

If I had to pick one Cold War interceptor with pure "heavy metal" aesthetics, I'd pick the Su-15 "Flagon." Just look at it: twin massive engines, a bulging cockpit, a bulbous nose, and a grim reputation for killing Boeings. Pure rock and roll🤘

@MaddieWGP Food in your own place isn't the problem. It's the prepping... and cooking... and cleanup... and dishwashing. I do the apples & PB thing myself.

Thought I had at least one more meal in my apartment to make before I go grocery shopping tomorrow… looks like I’m having apples and peanut butter and an uncrustable for dinner tonight 😅

@MudcatOakCliff @MikeHusband2599 @RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY So what's your point? Interceptors are ambush-style aircraft. They aren't "dogfighters" like true fighter aircraft are. Many in the Cold War had small nuclear warheads on their air-to-air missiles. Get in the air fast, use a big radar to find the target, and shoot it.

@Kodos13_ @MikeHusband2599 @RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY Yes. It was murder

Today we remember George Floyd.

@RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY How many Boeings did it kill?

@MudcatOakCliff @MikeHusband2599 @RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY That's what an "interceptor" does...

@MikeHusband2599 @RealAirPower1 @BaA43A3aHY I’m not impressed by ambushing and shooting down an airliner with a zoomy jet.

@mattvanswol Time to go to work.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!! SIX Chicago police officers have been injured at "TEEN TAKEOVERS" in 48 HOURS. Police had to deploy a HELICOPTER after 500+ teens took over a beach and started PUNCHING each other and VANDALIZING CARS. ...ON MEMORIAL DAY!!!! WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?!!!!!

Perfumed Prince is big mad that the US Navy has decided to promote based on merit and not genitalia.

@FoxNews Are the prices from the 80-90s?

Pizza Hut franchises across the country are rolling out "Pizza Hut Classic" remodels to bring back the iconic '80s and '90s dining experience. Franchisees are reviving beloved staples like the red cups, checkered tablecloths, salad bars, and classic Tiffany-style lamps to draw families back into dining rooms. After years of sleek modern redesigns, the old-school dine-in feel is suddenly making a comeback.

@MayorFrey FUCK YOU. And fuck that dead piece of shit.

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever.

@Ikennect No statute of limitations, bitch.

Barbara Walters writes: Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk. In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper... Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day. I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me. These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less

@johnkoenigcmdr It's either that or Tony Verdecchi's excuse for "beer".

@hmcrem A sobering reminder of what unpreparedness costs you.

Lest We Forget. In March 1950, Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet, originated the practice of displaying the National Ensign over the sunken remains of USS Arizona. The ship's midships structure, which remained above water level, came to be used as a platform for memorial services, and she was the object of passing honors rendered as Navy ships passed by. During the later 1950s, efforts began to erect a suitable memorial over her hulk to commemorate the sacrifices of her more than 1100 dead crewmen, the other U.S. Servicemen killed in the Pearl Harbor attack and the personnel lost in the Pacific Theatre during the Second World War. Some of the Arizona's remaining midships superstructure was removed, and pilings were driven beyond the sides of her hull to support the Memorial, which spans but does not touch the sunken ship. Dedicated in May 1962, the white open-air shrine contains the names of all the men lost with Arizona and has sufficient space for 250 people to attend services within it. One of Hawaii's most-visited historic sites, it is reached by boat from the USS Arizona Memorial exhibit area on the opposite side of the Pearl Harbor channel.

Man, you could practically hear the collective groan in every newsroom across America. For about 12 glorious hours, the San Diego mosque shooting was absolute catnip for cable news. Two teenage white boys attack a mosque, three innocent people dead ... the “right-wing domestic terrorism” script wrote itself. Chyrons blazing, panels booked, every anti-MAGA hack already sharpening their knives. Then the manifesto dropped. And everything went dead quiet. Turns out Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez weren’t exactly card-carrying conservatives. These two pathetic Jew-obsessed incel weirdos titled their murder diary “Sons of Tarrant” and filled it with deranged pages of “IT’S THE JEWS” on endless repeat. They weren’t right-wing, weren’t MAGA, weren’t Trump fans ... nah, they proudly called themselves Third Positionists who worshipped Nationalist Socialism and Eco Fascism. One was autistic and marinating in online poison. The other got force-fed mandatory “ethnic studies” classes that spent the first two weeks hammering “whiteness” and “white privilege” until he started hating himself and his own mixed-race family. Oh, and the system had been warned for over a year: FBI knew about Vazquez, 5150 psych hold, gun seizure attempt, the works. Mom was blowing up police phones for two straight hours while short-staffed cops treated it like a runaway kid case. But once the full, messy, politically inconvenient picture hit the internet? The 24/7 coverage didn’t just slow down. It died. Nothing kills a beautiful partisan morality play faster than facts that refuse to cooperate. The media isn’t in the truth business ... they’re in the narrative enforcement business. And this one didn’t confirm shit. (article below)
