@TradJackBurton Delusional take

Had Lefebvre and the Society not so firmly tied the TLM to outright rejection of Vatican II and accusations of Rome having "lost the faith", the TLM itself would be even MORE widespread today, and there would be less of an ecclesiastical stigma against "trads".

@samosaur While I appreciate them, not my cup of tea. I like active dogs - had a backyard-bred black lab, then a little hound mix, and now an American Foxhound. All rehomers/ rescues and they all love to walk and hike. Lab, of course, also loved to swim.

Bulldogs are different. If you’ve never owned one, you have no idea. Probably the most “unique” personality in a dog I’ve ever encountered.

@cdrsalamander 🤣

We lost a generation, but fine...let's get shadows on the ramp. open.substack.com/pub/cdrsalaman…

@Fcar181 @AbottofThe @MCCCANM Instead of drafting 1 million men, we could draft 500,000 women. Not many of them building infrastructure and it would bring equity to a force comprised of <20% women

@AbottofThe @MCCCANM Why? Those extra 1 million men could be doing something useful like building homes and infrastructure in the US.

True. After the Cold War ended, we massively drew down our forces. Something like 50% of the Air Force fleet was drawn down, w/ corresponding personnel cuts. Yeah, the B-52 is old, but so is the KC-135. The C-17 is getting used up much faster than planned & there is nothing to replace it or the C-5. I don’t know what the right size of our force is, but before you can argue it you should understand these things. It’s common to say the military sucks up the budget, but that’s not true…defense spending is about 13%, depending on year. Medicaid & similar programs are 24%. Social Security 21%. The interest on the debt is another 13%. Social safety net 7%, etc..

@samosaur @TX_RINO_Hunter 100%. Seeing folks say "I took all my anthrax shots and it was really bad, so you should just shut up and do what you're told" was so disappointing

@TX_RINO_Hunter Everyone does. TBH, we see ourselves as lessers humans more often than not. Veterans say all kinds of nonsense about giving up our rights and defend this crap like its a badge of honor. Really weird, Stockholm syndrome adjacent behavior.

Serving in the military does not waive your right to informed consent. You signed up to serve your country, not be a lab rat for pharmaceutical experimentation. The laws of this nation don’t magically stop applying to you simply because you’re now under the UCMJ. Know your rights. Defend your rights.

@drcrouchback @holysmoke Hardly. Leo could accept his resignation at any time

We need a lip-reader. It doesn’t look like a particularly affectionate exchange.

@Hania16836 honey

Jelly is not available,, peanut butter and what 🤔

@braves2430 Meatloaf, meatballs (for sub), stuffed bell peppers,

Alright what would You make?

@DavidElsberry3 @JhWesten the problem is that gates are a defensive measure. if the Church isn't attacking evil, what the gates do is irrelevant

@JhWesten Pray for the church. The gates of hell will not prevail, but they are not going down without a fight.

When a man can be accurately described as a: 'James Martin-welcoming, Viganò-alienating, Blessed Virgin Mary-demoting, homosexual-couple-blessing, pedophile-promoting, SSPX-excommunicating, China-faithful-ignoring, communist-endorsing, Pachamama-adorer' ... how does one square that with recognizing Leo as the Vicar of Christ? The cognitive dissonance is crushing. Lord, have mercy on Your Church.

@pwaizer @Mach3Plus Early lots were built with APG-73 and no capacity to upgrade; then came a few lots that initially fielded with APG-73, but with plumbing for upgrade to APG-79. I think the 73-only jets are the boneyard jets

@Mach3Plus Wow….didnt even know there were Super Hornets in the boneyard.

Some people commented about the replacement of the two EA-18G Growlers with two FA-18F Super Hornets from the boneyard or the production line. First the production line is ending, the last airframe is being assembled. Pulling a standard FA-18F Super Hornet out of the boneyard and trying to modify it into a Growler face several structural roadblocks. The internal rewiring and structural airframe changes are too extensive to do as a retrofit. Boeing has stated this is cost-prohibitive and structurally impractical. The EA-Growler has over 90% shared design with the FA-18F Super Hornet; however, Boeing made tremendous changes to its structure and aerodynamics during its conversion from the multirole fighter to an electronic warfare aircraft. For example, Boeing removed the General Dynamics M61A2 Vulcan 20mm cannon from the nose of the airframe to create an internal processing bay. The airframe was also modified in that the wingtip Sidewinder missile rails were replaced with permanently mounted Northrop Grumman AN/ALQ-218 tactical jamming receiver pods. The addition of heavy electronic warfare pods changed the weight distribution of the airframe, which resulted in a flight characteristic referred to as Limit Cycle Oscillation, which is a severe shaking of the wings or fluttering of the structure. To counteract this unique aerodynamic load, engineers added wing fences, stall strips and reshaped the fairings to eliminate wing shake. The last phase of the redesign included molding canoe-shaped antenna fairings onto the fuselage and placing a satellite communications dome behind the canopy. Last but not least, the aircraft were from the Fleet Replacement Squadron, Electronic Attack Squadron 129 VAQ-129 (Vikings). The frontline deployable squadrons did not lose any assets, so I’m guessing the training pipeline at VAQ-129 will probably absorb the internal aircraft loss directly from its large pool of 55 Growlers.

@ElpyVerite @JeuneReac great question for the bishops pushing to ordain women or the bishops who didn't obey summorum pontificum

@JeuneReac Vous ne répondez jamais par lâcheté, mais comment reconnaître un pape et lui désobéir en même temps ? Gallicanisme ? Dissonance cognitive ?

Les modernistes : "On peut se sauver par les autres religions, l'Enfer est vide, mais vous autres de la FSSPX aller finir en ENFER CAR VOUS N’OBÉISSEZ PAS AU PAPE !"

@NickRodecap hazards if you are below min speed for the highway

If you aren’t driving a semi, there is no reason to turn your hazard lights on when driving in the rain. Anyone who engages in this behavior should have their license revoked. It is beyond needless.

@prestonstew_ Missing the Little Birds blown up with the MC-130s during the F-15E rescue

The Congressional Research Service just listed the 42 US aircraft lost or damaged so far during the war with Iran. 4 x F-15E Strike Eagles destroyed 1 x F-35A damaged by Iranian ground fire 1 x A-10 destroyed 7 x KC-135 Stratotankers (2 destroyed, 5 damaged) 1 x E-3 Sentry AWACS damaged 2 x MC-130J destroyed 1 x HH-60W helicopter damaged by small arms fire 24 x MQ-9 Reapers destroyed 1 x MQ-4C Triton destroyed

@collin_ruth89 gas range, electric oven is best

Do people actually buy electric stoves? Gas is 10x better. Someone explain this to me.

@NancyMace property taxes though i would rather get rid of both in favor of tariffs and/or consumption taxes

Which would you prefer? Eliminate the state income tax or property taxes? Please pick one (although truth be told I want to do both).

@oliviakrolczyk_ you can also keep eggs on your counter

I’m scared of people who keep butter on their counter.

@TheKanehB longer wavelengths, better range, but way less data transport capability

How did pagers have service absolutely everywhere before cell towers? There were no dead zones w the beeper and no towers. What happened to that tech?

But the @sspx are the schismatic one ☠️☠️☠️. No crisis, my ###
