  1. This is the same old stupid crap that gets on this board all the time. This has nothing to do with Trump. He shouldn't be part of the conversation at all. But......the FAA didn't have the failures it has had under this Sect or Trans or FAA Administrator. It didn't spend time, money and energy doing stupid, non productive gender neutralizing programs, resulting in gross waste of time money and producing culture that hated his appointee. It didn't result in service decreases becasue of the FAA's inability to staff, nor fine the industry whenever there were hiccups, with the usual massive public relations efforts that this punk is noted for, all the while taking no responsibility for inadequate staffing of national ground stops. It certainly didn't care about the sexual preference, genitalia or color of one's skin in appointing individuals of leadership.
  2. It has nothing to do with his sexual preference. That is pure nonsense, and there is no cult. It has everything to do with him being a cabinet level staffer running the FAA and failing miserably. These headline grabbing "accomplishments" are so typical of what he has done. But first, what he has not done. Named appointees who couldn't get through Congressional appointment hearings. Not simply to a vote, simply couldn't even make it to the vote, as even members of his own parety acknowledged these were incompetent, unqualified applicants thrown up because of gender/race issues. Has caused schedule/service cutbacks becasue the FAA is not suitably manned to handle the load. Presided over the cost of removing the word "man" or any other gender verbage at no benefit to anyone, On his watch, encountered a national groundstop, (the cessation of all air travel), because his systems failed. Money spent on stupid gender issues could have been spent on updating an antiquated system that fails. Presides over a government organization with extremely low morale that hate him, as well as the industry it serves. Will save nobody anything. The costs will simply be moved elsewhere, as an industry with a sub 4% return on capital will have to find other ways to get a return. You can buy a no risk Treasury that would yield 20% more than putting any capital at risk in this industry. In short, they should just shut down the industry completely, except you know who makes a fortune off of it? Yes, the US Gov, which taxes the snot out of your "little guy" tickets. The man is ignorant, smug, hated by those in the department he heads, and completely incompetent. And absolutely none of that reality has anything to do with him being homosexual, which nobody cares about, and never has.
  3. Costs will be adjusted. The margins are so low it cannot be another way. Always the same under this guy. Go for the headline that purports to help consumers. In the meantime, don't fix the FAA which is far more the problem in that industry, and always has been. Same old s**t, over and over, but with no objective oversite, never gets fixed and those responsible are never accountable.
  4. I don't know if you've figures this out yet, actually I can say with 100% certitude that you haven't, and that would be nothing new, but every human routinely violates the ten commandments. Old Testament has nothing germane here, so not sure what that comment is to convey. Anyway, Biden is the very definition of a hypocrite by denying the basics of his oft stated religious affiliation, to the point of staking his reelection on it.
  5. Anybody else see the irony of placing your hope of winning a state and an election by denying and directly defying a doctrinal belief at the core of his professed faith? I'm not sure what he believes, but I'm sure glad he didn't serve in the military with me nor is a member of any organization I belong to.
  6. Very difficult challenge for them. They don't have the military ability to do really serious damage, as they don't have a strategic bomber capable of delivering the weapons necessary. They can do things through internal Iranian sabotage, and I think being an Iranian nuclear engineer has proven to be an unfortunate job title over the years, but the Iranian program has been largely deep underground and dispersed to many sites.
  7. This man is completely debilitated. These videos get progressively worse every week. There is simply no way to deny it in any objective reality. At this pace, in a couple months he's going to claim to have an uncle that advised Eve not to take the fruit from his garden in Delaware.
  8. Here's another episode of Biden follies. You know what happened last Saturday evening? You know, when Iran launched 330 weapons against Israel, and nearly all were intercepted and destroyed. Know where that capability came from? Know how they did it? It was from SDI technology that Reagan proposed, so called "Star Wars." The Israelis joined in that research and constructed the best air defense system in the world. Guess who opposed it. Guess who was wrong, yet again, as has been his unique history forever. Yep.......Joe Biden. Here's Joe, demonstrating his pure, undeniable prescience: "Star Wars represents a fundamental assault on the concept, alliances and arms control agreements that have buttressed American security for several decades, and the President's continued adherence to it constitutes one the most reckless and irresponsible acts in the history of modern statecraft." Go to the 2:30 mark here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/wsj-opinion-joe-biden-was-wrong-star-wars-saved-israel/vi-BB1lOwTN To use a stock market phrase, the man is the single best contrarian indicator of effective foreign policy ever known. SDI ultimately and indirectly led to the destruction of the Soviet Union. Take the loss Joe, as usual.
  9. Unless your lifetime is three years and a few months, this is totally false and complete nonsense.
  10. I'm not sure what is going on, but it is clearly evident that somebody is "managing" this presidency. It is ridiculous to leak that he told Netanyahu to "take the win." Stupid and unnecessary. That, along with other leaks that claim that the US/administration would not support certain Israeli retaliation military actions vis a vis Iran, is intentional, and not something a president normally does. We are in full reelection mode, and this stuff is counterproductive and purely political. Not good.
  11. I like them all. I didn't like McCain and I don't like Trump. I don't think Biden should be in any position or responsibility.
  12. The suggestion that Trump's stupid comments about McCain insulted other POW's, or that they or other military folks ever cared is ridiculous. A hearty breed, they don't get offended, outraged or otherwise bothered over stupid crap. Besides, McCain was strongly disliked in the Navy. Just a fact. Nothing to do with his honorable POW time,. No dispute there, but most were honorable.
  13. I am interested in accuracy. Israel did not "destroy a country's embassy." That is a BS claim. Ironically, Iran did this exact thing in 1979. Israel struck a consulate, killing weapons dealers responsible for providing and facilitating weapons shipments designed to be used against its civilians. Just to be clear, I have never politicized this as a Trump/Biden thing. To the point, if any US asset or individual is in any way harmed or threatened by this retaliation, I think it would be wise to take out any and all drone production facilities in Iran, and within 24 hours. We have that capability. Either way, I'd bet the guys on the Eisenhower are on alert this evening. My thoughts are with them. This is Iran doing what Iran does.
  14. Expected this. Defensive system saturation. Will be interesting to see the outcome. They clearly didn't heed the "don't" admonition from our executive branch.
  15. More of you claiming you know what people think. I think you're a total goof. I can either continue to respond to nonsense, or not. I know what my choice is.
  16. I have no interest in reading what you write.
  17. I have come to the conclusion that you have the mind of a ten year old. WHEN YOU TAKE HOSTAGES, AKIN TO KIDNAPPING, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM. Other than gross disregard, which nobody has ever accused the Israelis of, and shouldn't, It is not on the other party, trying to liberate them, to be held accountable. You have already demonstrated your ignorance of the reason for 2000# bombs, which I explained, and that has nothing to do with kidnappers stealing hostages.
  18. Unbelievable post. Any accusation that Israel may be responsible for killing hostages, taken by Hamas during a barbaric attack and held for months, is disgusting.
  19. I think it's time to reconsider our relationship with Kuwait. Kuwait expelled 287,000 Palestinians after we kicked Iraq out because of the PLO's support of the Iraqi invasion. I was also told that Kuwait billed the US for any fuel needed during our leadership of the coalition that liberated their country. Not a fan, and they need to understand that they have no capability to use international waters to export their fuel without US Navy support against Iran or others willing to deny that. Time for a B word slap.
  20. Regarding what you post or silly suggestions of irritation? No. I lost interest in anything you have to say when you first called me a coward, and I offered to donate a significant amount of money to the charity of your choice if I could not prove bona fides. You disappeared like a cockroach in the light. Since then, you post nothing indicating any objective, informed view. It is simply hanging Dem talking points upon Dem talking points. Nada. Simply Nada.
  21. Post makes no sense, as usual. You have averred a false premise and continue to attempt justify it. It is nonsense. You have no ability to excite anyone, least of all me. I think you are an uninformed class clown who offers nothing of substantive value. A Democrat spokesperson who damages your obvious intent, because the stupid posts are so juvenile.
  22. Of the two belligerents, one has carved an incredibly successful democracy in the desert. Scores of objective metrics support that, from patents to pharmaceuticals to electronics and it goes on and on. The other is beholden to a nut country that supplies them unguided weapons to kill neighbors with. Seventeen years of control and Hamas has done nothing other than build an underground war machine. Nothing other than the promise of death and poverty. Now, as they are getting their asses kicked, again, they plea for the international community to impose a ceasefire which they broke. It is exactly as it was in the six day war and yom kippur.
  23. I have no concern and no interest in silly quotes from people. Israel has had nuclear weapons for decades. They have not used them. They are not trying to overthrow a nation. They have not sworn to eliminate a neighbor. They are not actively shipping scores of weapons to moron surrogates to attack civilian populations. They are not disrupting shipping in international waters, and preventing weapons being shipped to Hezbollah for attacks on Israeli citizens is not a valid argument. Iran is doing all of this, including attacking US combatants, and our administration is doing nothing to prevent the attacks. Responding to them, at incredible expense, is not preventing them, and a senseless posture. It is quite likely that something is going to cross the line. Maybe its the Iranian response to the assassination of Iranian weapons dealers in Damascus, whatever that might be.
  24. I have no issue with Israel having them. I am aware of when they achieved that capability and aware of the restraint since then. Israel was attacked on the first day of its existence by a multi nation consortium. They have been threatened and attacked ever since. They are not going to be eliminated without massive response. That is the reality and I have no problem with that posture. On the other hand, I have serious concerns about a lunatic regime that does little other than export death and terror. I wish the majority of sane people there would get rid of their scourge, but the don't seem willing. Additionally, there seems to be pretty good evidence that the rogue group with significant weapon access, the IRGC, is somewhat uncontrolled. This is going to get hotter. The Biden admin should authorize the US Navy to sink the Iranian ship that is providing targeting information, and they should sink it yesterday. Daily defending against attacks on shipping is a foolish posture, and further encourages them.
