Is that supposed to be George Floyd? It looks like Floyd's and Mao Zedong's love child

No, that's Alton Sterling, former local CD salesman.

Holy shite. We just dumped a bunch of unknown afghans, mostly fighting aged males, into our country? I assume there was little to no vetting.

But US citizens over there need to complete their repatriation forms and show vaccine records or have a negative covid test.

Mind blowing.

Update on ihometiger--he was picked up in New Orleans this morning and is en route to Termez, Uzbekistan.
Please say some prayers for all of them.

By God that's taking action! God speed to all involved and may they return home safely.

Hold on, is this cat loaded rich and connected? This is something he is doing on his own or he works for the firm?

He retired a few years ago but he owned a large international private security and logistics company. Former special ops and military analyst background.

He is the type of guy you don't notice but he is very engaging but you never know if his smile is pleasant or one that says I'm going to kill you. Sorry ihome if you read this but you do scare the crap out of me when you do your serious smile.

Just to hit this point home.

You need to delete some info in your posts.

And while I find the posts very valuable, I probably wouldnt post anything about him again until he gets back.

He used to own and operate an international security firm. After some things went bad in the Congo he sold it to a friend of his. He's still close to the friend, and they have people stuck in Kabul. They are a team running security for a group of women doing humanitarian work. They're in a safe house, but with no easy/safe way to the airport. He's using his connections to help get them out.

It would be a hell of a lot better than that geriatric absentee president we have now.
