  1. When you think that you a entitled , this is the first step to failure.

    Everyone in life has to understand that it is not fair or equal.

    I was born poor, ugly, clumsy and for a while stupid.

    I made my mind up very early in life to correct all of this with the exception of being ugly.

    In some other country that might not have been possible but I the USA it is always possible.

    Some like myself have to work harder than others but I am proof that it is possible. For almost a decade night school was part of my life

    The problem here is some want life given to them, which is no life at all.

    Also ugly can be dressed up and hid by a good suit.

  2. Look this is America ,this crap happens...... All the Time.

     

    I remember this guy Lincoln who ran as a 3rd party candidate and won the presidency with out the popular vote.

    Needless to say people were pissed and states started to leave the union.

     

    Compared to the results of that this is a cake walk.

    And yes the press has always been this way.

     

    As for me I love this country, I really love it

  3.  

     

    I want to know how to get Michigan to pass Constitutional Carry as its being considered. Any fellow mitten-dwellers know a good pro-firearms group to given money to, not too much faith in the NRA to do anything about it except call me to beg for money 7 times a day.

     

    ...then perambulate your silly ass down to your representative's office and tell them what you think all by yourself. Wear your best frock.

     

    I'll delay the wearing of frocks until I take the plunge on buying a full set of Roman Lorica Segmentata then I could be the nerd version of those guys who walked into the Dearborn Heights police station in plate carriers.

    But will you nerd version stop anything?

    Just save some more and buy a vest .

  4. Judging from past conservative appointments, I am not sure what will happen.

    Remember how we felt about Roberts.

    Once they get into the club they all change and take on the mantle of God.

    Life time appointments with no accountability changes a person let us never forget.

    Also non of them have been with the middle class in a long time if ever.

    To me they have a disappointing elite view of life in our country.

  5. As much as the military try's to prepare people who fly as to what to expect if they are captured, it will never be enough .

    Resisting tortuous actions with out breaking comes not to all but a small group of people.

    Remember that the reason they use torture is because it works.

    Dying a quick death in war is the novices fantasy . The reality of war is there is some quick death but way more pain and suffering that can last a life time.

    To me the biggest torture of them all is going through all this and have it mean nothing and then be treated like scum or forgotten by you're own country.

    Our country and its politicians must stop thinking of the men and women in the armed forces as cannon fodder. They must remember if they are going to place them into harms way there must be a good reason and a path to succeed.

    As a Senator I think McCain forgot some of this. I do not remember him speaking out about it much.

    In fact I disagree with his views on water boarding to the extreme .

    An eye for an eye Senator McCain an eye for an eye

    War is Hell and for many we bring it home forever.

  6. Talked to my sister yesterday and she said that the reds are just beginning to run.

    So I guess if nature sooner or later gets together to get something done may be the Repulicans will as well.

    The wife is reading Gingreg's book about Thrump, it's not over.

    The book explains that any deal starts with multiple rejections, Trump is not even getting started.

    You have a great day , I sure am going to try to.

  7. I am sure we have some common ground here.

    I think I have briefly explained why we have the Senators we have. That being a large progressive influx from the N.E.

    Oregon, Washington , Nevada I think Texas not to mention the southern State of Alaska are experiencing the the same

    We also know that there was not going to be a Dem voting for this bill, it was up to the Republicans to get it done.

    Your Republican Sen voted the same as the Dems , Marco did not.

    Why?

    Do you know Why? That's all I ask. Why?

    I think that she dose not give a crap along with the other two about how devastating this bill has been to employment in this country.

    I think it was a personal political move and it will cost her and your state in the long run.

    If I am wrong tell me and remember I am not attacking you, we are having a discussion .

    I love ALASKA , Ninilchik is where my sister has lived for over 40 years. My father past away there fishing halibut .

    In my travels I have been in Ancorage many times.

    After I retire my brother and I want to come up and hunt.

    This is not personal I just cannot understand why she would vote no. Everyone understood that she would vote yes.

    And again have a great day I think I will call my sister .

    It's not just the auto industry either. You should see some of the ass backwards ways some of the manufacturers in the elevator industry do stuff.

     

    I made my living for 42 years straightening out screwed up elevators! When Haughton came out with the OH machine, I put 6 of them back together before the IDIOT boss let me do all of them from the beginning! I once found the car at the lobby, and the worm gear thrust bearing sticking out of the gear box and held by the last 2 threads of the last bolt !PS- 'burban is chillin!

    Real men get you to the 40th floor safely.

    Thanks for being the best you can be. For most it's just a job and a pay check,getting by by the bare minimum.

    But for true profestionals it's to do the best all the time regardless.

    I am a hated and resented man because I get called in to correct a persons sloppy minimum effort while still being expected to do my own work.

    One more year and it's weekends starting on Wendsday

    When you make up your mind to be the best and stay the best you can be, you find over time you have no friends because your to busy fixing their failures or you are always working and have no time for friendships.

  9.  

    Your anorexia poster child senator is a real gem.

    God help you all.

     

     

    Guess what, your asshole senator voted against the repeal, too.  Compared to having Marco "amnesty" Rubio and some democrat who is an anti-gun shitbag, I feel pretty good about having Murkowski and Sullivan as my US senators.

    You are absolutely right about Rubio and Nelson but Marco voted yes yours Rep voted no "Why?"

    Most. Dems are anti gun Nelson is no exception. As for Marco he will say anything to be elected.

    Fl has changed over the years as the boomers from the north east come down to retire.

    They winter here and summer in NY. That way they can vote twice, I was very amazed that Tump won here.

    No! I do not feel good about about my FL senators.

    In fact I do no feel good about any of the Rep Senators.

    I think if this thing went into conference we would have gotten a very strong bill.

    Your senator stopped that for no reason ( tell me do guys up there even have Obama care ?)

    Down here It has cost employers millions and put thousands on part time status . All to give you insurance that a person cannot afford to use because of the high deductables .

    McCain did this to get back at Trump, the RINO from Maine"well she has always been a pile of barf" but why your Sen voted this way begs the question " Why ?"

    Well good luck with that, have a great day.

  10.  

    Ok. Read the articles linked... Again I have to ask...how could a wet start cause Ann electrical surge on the other side of the flight deck, where the improperly armed missile, aboard an F4, got launched from, across the deck into a parked A4, which was not McCain's?

     

     

    Not sure.  Those were just two articles that came up when I did a search; I posted them for background and I don't personally have any opinion on whether it was McCain's fault or not.  My opinion is that McCain is an asshole, and I look forward to him being out of office.

    So is your senator

  11. I think drones work well with all the stuff that is guided but it is a moving platform.

    One needs a stable platform for shooting a bullet. Like I said the guided 50 cal bullet may change all this once they can get more range.

    Not taking away from this accomplishment but I think it will never be the norm as most sniper shots are far less than this one.

    Drones run out of gas a sniper can sit undetected for days.

  12. Reading more into the Canadian sniper shot that hit its target I found that a drone deployed might of given the spotter better information on range, multiple wind and atmosphere information.

    With all that being said and knowing the Canadians have awesome 50 cal loads it looks like high tech in warfare has just jumped a notch.

    The opitics today are unbelievable. Match that with good eyes and awesome technology I expect more of this.

    Also there is a 50 cal guided round now as well but it does not have the weight to go 2 miles but who knows. "Bad guys beware and keep you head down yah know Aye!"
