  1. I was just thinking Ukraine should take this opportunity to hold a referendum in their captured territory to see who wants to become a part of Ukraine. ;-)
  2. Just found guilty in 7 out of 10 counts. Tina Peters found guilty in plot to hack into Colorado’s election system to prove voter fraud
  3. Taking (and holding) Russian territory would put them in the position of actually being able to negotiate a settlement; They could offer to pull out of Kursk if Putin gets the hell out of Ukraine. Up until now, they had nothing to offer.
  4. I think Santos pulled it off better:

    Trump

    Why does the GOP always think they are entitled to violate music copyright??? Isaac Hayes Estate Demands Trump Pay $3 Million But I must say using "Hold on, I'm Coming", is just sooo appropriate for a sex offender. LOL!
  6. MAGA snowflake declines to testify in her own trial because judge won't give her a safe space. Tina Peters declines to testify in her own trial after judge refuses request to tell prosecutors “not to bully me around”

    Tim Walz

    Adam Kinzinger explains the issues, in a Substack article: The Swiftboating of Walz is Sick, Inacurate, and Will Fail Or even better, listen to him in this video:

    Trump

    And once again I must ask: How would we detect a difference?

    Heather Cox Richardson's most recent daily letter gave a background on Walz: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-6-2024

    You know the MAGA rules for elections: "Heads, I win. Tails, YOU CHEATED!!!"

    Trump

    Well, if it worked in the primaries, maybee he will start using the same tactic in the general elections. LOL!
  12. Looks like he also owns a dog: Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, to host 2024 Governor's Pheasant Opener
  13. FBI agents execute search warrant on Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, NewsChannel 5 confirms Fraudulent campaign financial reports.
  14. LOL! That is a really good impression!
  15. I've always enjoyed his work! ;-)
  16. Damn! That's not your grandfathers instrument panel!
  17. I was just going from memory; I do prefer the phrasing of what you presented.
  18. A rich man will never tell you how rich he is; A smart man will never tell you how smart he is; An honest man will never tell you how honest he is; A con man will.
  19. That plane That plane has the Israeli "tunnel" along the spine, and the "conformal" fuel tanks. Info on the tanks: Conformal Fuel Tanks for Advanced F-16 Block 50/52/60
  20. That does not surprise me. An Israeli liaison officer had an permanent office there in the F-16 plant. I had to go see him one day to get approval for some paperwork.
  21. Or possibly be behind bars, although "Judge" Cannon has made that very unlikely.
  22. You are totally missing my point. Each block gets upgraded functionality. Make generalities comparing two different fighters is meaningless unless you specify which block of each you are comparing. And that is assuming we are talking only about USAF a/c. Every country that buys a fighter from the US, specifies its own equipment. And don't assume they are getting the full capabilites that USAF gets. As an interesting bit of trivia, here is a photo of 2 Israeli F-16's. Note the 2-seater in the foreground has a raised compartment extending from the cockpit back to the vertical stabilizer. That was a custom addition just for the Israeli's. I was told they were shipped to Israel with that space empty, and we did not know what they were putting in there.
  23. So that is why he threatend to sue his college if they released his grades? Here's Why Donald Trump Doesn't Want Anyone To Know His Grades Or SAT Scores He inherited Fred's money, ran businesses into bankruptcy repeatedly, until the only job he could get was hosting a reality show. He is a moron.
  24. The F-16 is in production today!!! The fact is that dogfighting is a thing of the past. What matters today is who has the sensors and weapons with enough range they can shoot first, before the other guy can. Look up what a "block number" is. It is analagous to a "model year" in the automotive industry. Every successive block has numerous updates, and older blocks sometimes are overhauled and rebuilt to the specifications of newer blocks. Saying the F-16 is 45 years old is like saying the Ford Mustang is a 60 years old. Full disclosure: I once worked at AIr Force Plant 4 in Fort Worth TX.
  25. How would we detect the difference?
