This is really interesting.
My understanding of what’s really going on has been strongly influenced by Peter Zion stuff from about 10 years ago, before he got left-wing (he makes money speaking to Fortune 500 groups and symposiums, which probably skew left-wing).
Put simply– breakdown of current international systems
- as China implodes with demographic and political die off.
- Europe loses vitality because of demographic collapse and loss of enthusiasm for anything.
- massive die off in Africa and a few other places because western food support ends.
- All resulting in a divided, regional power based world with North America, led by the US being the dominant power, but mainly interested in keeping our living standards up, not running the world.

I usually use the New American Standard Bible.
Working with teenagers, I will also use the NIRV, the new international readers version.
The NIRV is not as poetic, but is simplified language which young people, and me sometimes, appreciate.

The feds will know who did this.
- Every cell phone withIn miles of the location is ID'ed and logged.
- with all the cameras filming, every video will be put through algorithms and every face will be identified.
With a high enough priority put on it, they will know who did it. Whether he ever sees his trial, who knows. He might just end up in a swamp somewhere.

re: NTSB info from Blackhawk helicopter’s black box recordings from the deadly DC crash
Posted by FedTiger on 2/19/25 at 1:01 pm to cajunangelle
I’ve been a passenger into and out of DCA - Regan National many hundreds of times in the last 20 year (I’m a retired Federal Air Marshal, former commercial pilot and a veteran).
Info about DCA (Reagan National)
- DC is separated from Virginia by the Potomac river - river is about twice as wide as the Red river b/w Shreveport and Bossier City.
- DCA is on West side of river, East side of river is Joint Base Anacostia / Bolling. Lots of DoD, scientific and Intel offices and facilities. North and West of this immediate are the rest of DC, South and East is Andrews AFB.
- There are always helicopters moving up and down the river near the Airport.
- The Runway that the plane was going to land on requires the plane to overfly JB Anacostia / Bolling. This runway is not one of the normally used DCA runways, it is used when wind direction and traffic flow make sense.
My QUESS is that the accident happened because:
- The military pilots had gotten used to flying higher than the official “hard deck” altitude in the area.
- If it was really a “training flight”, it was probably a flight so that the female White House Aid could have enough flight hours to maintain her flight pay. The other pilot may have known that he couldn’t “instruct” her too much or he would suffer for not being supportive of her enough.
- The crash was probably a “one in a thousand” (what ever the actual statistical number is) accident, but the above factors made it more likely to happen.

re: Why Trumpsigned EO to end birthright citizenship

"subject to the jurisdiction thereof"
How about this line of reasoning,
By entering the US illegally, or remaining longer than authorized, the Alien has willfully - by his willful action - declared that US law ("jurisdiction") doesn't apply to him. Therefore, he has placed himself out side of the intended scope of the 14th Amendment relating to jus Soli.
-----
I think this argument can turn into a slippery slope that the left can use in the future, but the current situation and long term trajectory of America is not sustainable or survivable.

re: DOJ to J6 defendants, a pardon is an admission of your guilt
Posted by FedTiger on 12/12/24 at 10:14 am to Major Dutch Schaefer
I'm a retired 27 year Fed LEO (USBP, INS, DHS counter terrorism).
I think they are trying to get people to "plead to lessor charges".
Implying that if you'r pardoned, you can't be criminally punished. BUT - you can be ADMINISTRATIVELY punished -
We (vengeful woke apparatchiks) will go after your military or federal retirement and benefits. Or other federal programs you and your family use - Agricultural programs, Educational programs, disaster relief programs, SBA programs, whatever. We will punish you! Unless you plead down and give us a scalp!

re: How many presidents have you seen in person?
Posted by FedTiger on 10/29/24 at 9:14 pm to geauxpurple
2 - Clinton and Reagan.
Bill Clinton at the pilot lounge at the fbo at Little Rock air port. SS came in looked around, ran the bomb dog around once and in comes Bill. He got a drink and we shot the Sh*t for about 15 minutes. It was the day that Dukakis quit - the day he knew he had the nomination.
He is the most characteristic person I've ever met. I don't like him as president but dam.
Reagan at LSU for my graduation. I was about 20 yards from him at one point.

I lived on the 2nd floor of West Stadium, across the road from Hatcher and the two girl's dorms, in '85.
I had a single room with no air conditioning, but my outside wall was windows and I had a couple of box fans for the really hot days. The bathroom was in the middle of the long hall of rooms, toilets had new normal walls, but the showers were still open military style.
It was extremely chill, the guys were mostly friends and everyone minded their own business. I don't remember ever seeing the RA. (I became an RA in Hatcher the next year).
there were some great stories involving parties and girlfriends, but like I said everyone was very chill.
One of the interesting things was looking out our windows watching the black fraternities doing their "step" practice with their cains.

re: All the RINOs dislike Vance
Posted by FedTiger on 7/27/24 at 11:34 am to DyeHardDylan
The Vance pick is part of the current civil war in the Republican Party. The establishment globalist / internationalist “please don’t call me a Nazi - I’ll let you win” wing, versus the still developing nationalist / populist, reactionary (move right, not just slowly left) wing.
The establishment / globalist slow-walked most of what Trump tried to do in the first Trump administration. That’s why there is so much talk of really gutting the bureaucrats in the appointed offices and as much of the senior civil-service as possible, and placing Trump loyalist.
I think, Trump sees J. D. Vance as someone who can lead the nationalist / populist reactionary wing, and a refocused Republican Party.
The same thing is happening in Texas right now. The power of the rich University Park / River Oaks /Austin lawyers versus the rich “new money' oil men and entrepreneurs. With Texas House speaker Dade Phelan championing the RINOs and Attorney General Ken Paxton Championing the “MAGA’ish” side. In the recent TX primaries, the reactionary / nationalist candidates defeated, something like, 16 of the 18 targeted RINOs.
The Democrats are also in a two or three sided civil war. The waining almost dead, “big globalist business is good, it is leading us to Scandinavian style socialism” wing think Pelosi and Schumer. The 1990’s-ish liberals for whom identity politics are the primary motivation (along with getting very wealthy themeless (not you), Obama. And, finally the Frankenstein’s monster lovechild of the other two the hyper woke, “BURN IT ALL!!!” radicals, think “the Squad” - BLM - ANTIFA.
Fun time in politics these days - as long as the bullets aren’t flying.

INTP :pimp:
My GG GF was the Postmaster in his town in North Georgia, he had six or seven sons, half went for the Confederacy and half for the Union. The brothers and father who went for the Union quietly helped Confederate deserters and kept their head down.
One of the Confederate brothers became a leader of the Home Guard that tracked down deserters and sympathizers. He had his father brought before a grand jury (from the town), the GJ refused to charge the father, but the father had to live in a cave in the hills to stay safe for the rest of the war.
All of the brothers survived the war but the Union sympathizers weren’t safe post war. A few years later the entire family set out for Oregon. One or two ended up in Iowa, one in Arkansas and one in Texas. The father and two sons made it to Oregon. My G GF was born on the Oregon trail and my GF and father in Oregon.

re: Should the US Convert the Boarder Patrol into a Military Branch Like the Coast Guard?
Posted by FedTiger on 6/17/24 at 1:33 pm to CU_Tigers4life
No, as others have pointed out, US Military can't be law enforcement within the US (posse comitatus - result of yankee abuses during reconstruction).
BP and other Immigration Officers have the authority to arrest and return illegal aliens, its more complicated away from the border but still very cut and dry.
The problem for 60 years or so has been the lack of political will to enforce the laws.
The GOPe - are globalist that want cheep labor to keep wages down and to keep political control of their constituencies.
the LEFTIST - are globalist the don't believe America should have a border (its white supremacy / racist and mean) and they want cheep labor to keep wages down and to keep political control of their constituencies.
The millions of Illegals in the last 3 years are welcomed in because the administration decided to interpret international asylum laws (treaties) to mean that anyone who says the words "asylum" has to be let in and scheduled for an asylum hearing (years down the road). This interpretation is ludicrous and unique to Biden's administration.
"Elections" have concedes
I was 7 years USBP and INS, and 20 years DHS LEO (FAM), now retired.

I'd say yes, Memorial Day includes the honored dead of Both the Union and the Confederacy. Confederate veterans are (were) considered to be veterans by the post war US government.
Men in my family, brothers, from North Georgia fought for the Union and others for the Confederacy - they all survived the war. The family left Dahlonega, Ga for the Oregon trail, and peppered my people in Iowa, Arkansas, Texas and Oregon.

Three things to think about:
1. China is in critical demographic / economic collapse. CCP / PRC has maybe 5 - 15 years left.
2. Opposed amphibious operations are incredibly hard to do. CCP's military has never done anything well, against the Soviet, Vietnamese and US military they failed to accomplish their goals.
3. Taiwan (RoC) has conventional (non nuke) long range ballistic missiles and Cruze missiles that can hit and maybe destroy the Three Gorges Dam. Braking the dam would be like nuking the CCP heartland.
CCP attacking Taiwan has very little chance of being worth it. But CCP's dictator may not be rational.
