I have heard that Trump imposed tariffs during his first term and that biden and the democrat's liked the money the Trump tariffs brought into the U.S. of A. coffers so much that they kept them in place!

Ooooooohhhh!! You have touched on a pet peeve of mine. So am going off topic and responding the the criticism's and hit pieces made against Bush about his National Guard service. There were media claims that Bush skipped out on his week end drills. Either unknowingly or deliberately ignoring facts of his service and what drill time actually is. Bush would work full time, 8 hours a day, with his National Guard unit for a week or more then not attend a weekend drill. He didn't have to attend a week end drill afterwards because he had already completed his require monthly drill service by working 8 hours a day for 5 days that month. Bush actually had more credited drill time for some years than was required, if I recall correctly! A required week end drill time consists of two 8 hour days. Each 4 hour block of time is counted as 1, 8 hour day, with 2 days drill counting as 4 days. Sometimes there is a required 4 hour block of time that is required on the Friday night before the weekend, so in essence, a 40 hour work week is credited by only working 20 hours! If I recall correctly, Bush had also worked 4 weeks in a row, 8 hours a day sometimes, thus completing his required drill time for the following 4 months! As to joining the National Guard to avoid real service, Bravo Sierra, to that too. National Guard units served in World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, and I think they did also in Desert Storm, and the wars that politicians started later too! I was a member of the 36th Airborne Brigade, Texas National Guard and we were the backup for the 82nd Airborne Brigade. If the 82nd had gone to war and then another Airborne Brigade was needed, then the 36th was next in line for overseas deployment into combat!! Off topic rant ended. Roger, Wilco, Over, and Out!

DAMN!!! I have been telling people for years that the political center moved to the left, just as illustrated in your picture chart! The center moved so far left that there are some democrats that call RINO's far right wing. And the center moving so far left is why I define RINO's as moderate democrats! If the center had not moved to the left a RINO politician would be standing right there beside you!

And I have heard talk of her campaign being $20,000,000.00 in debt!

Another post I have to block!! Will this ever end??

Even if that's a bull that identifies as a cow, no one will get any milk from it.

😄 So, will you support your assertion of what is or is not misinformation?

It isn't up to you to decide if what he posted is "misinformation"! That is malcomb's job. He told me so! 🤪

I don't know why you would write that. I did search for the news reports right after I read it. Looks like it may have happened yesterday, based on a link to X with a date of 11/7/24. Most links are for this morning. I have only been on aseannow.com this morning and have not checked any news reporting. I see it as a despicable act, regardless of who has done it.

I have watched youtube videos of democrats decrying the election of Trump where those crying were claiming that they would be put back into slavery or, if white, claiming that blacks would again be enslaved. This is the first I have heard/read that messages invoking slavery, were being sent to anyone. I will follow this to see if law enforcement discovers who was responsible. I am curious if it will or will not be another fraudulent claim of racism from a leftist, as has happened in the past.

Dry rub BBQ or wet BBQ? I prefer wet.

That's kind of what I thought it would taste like. A little different due to what food the ground rats ate vs. what squirrels eat. I have never eaten ground rats nor noo noo. I believe I would only have a problem with the tiny bones and whatever herbs (and their taste) used in the cooking. Less so now than when I was younger, when I would eat most anything placed in front of me.

Some really minor trivia that I just realized. My grandmother was alive during the terms of 19 different presidents!

You should see those windmill blades up close. I don't know how long they are but I have read that the tip of those things are moving upwards of 150 miles per hour. That is 220 feet per second, if I have done my math correctly. Try dodging that when it comes out of no where! If it were not for global warming, my house, here in Pennsylvania, could be underneath a very, very thick sheet of ice that covered Canada and the northern part of the United States about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago!!

I don't know enough about her during her beginning to make a judgement on that. I only know about her mostly from her recent activities, about the last 2 years. I have heard some of what she did during some of the January 6 trials. She seems to be a war hawk, if I go by what I have heard. At this time in my life, I have no use for politicians that are willing to send soldiers into battle, then restrict them with rules of engagement that hinders the military's ability's to prosecute a war. Especially when fighting against an enemy that has no reservations, rules, or restrictions on how they prosecute a war against American soldiers. If American soldiers are going to fight a war, then let them. I believe it is because of political restrictions on the military in Vietnam that it ended the way it did. I was involved in signals intelligence and electronic intelligence gathering that covered the area below the DMZ and North Vietnam where those political restrictions, in my opinion, led to soldiers, both American and South Vietnamese, being wounded and killed! Nixon was right to pull soldiers out of Vietnam.

I call chaney a RINO. My definition of a RINO.. a RINO is a moderate democrat! Oh, I have taken those internet tests on the internet (echo?) and they confirm what I have been calling myself. Libertarian.

I don't believe it. I have smelled wet dog. I have never smelled anyone from any race that smelled like wet dog. Some people do have a smell. Some of them are from the food and herbs they eat I guess. Others from not washing enough. Some who do not use any deodorant or anti-perspirant (with deodorant). But wet dog? No, only a dog that has not been bathed in a long time smells like wet dog. I did know a guy whose residence (an efficiency apartment with kitchen and bath) smelled like his dog. His bed smelled like dog when I sat next to it. His lounge chair smelled like dog when I sat in it. A big pile of clothes in the corner of the room smelled like dog. Not wet dog, just dog!

Windmills have been killing birds for decades. I used to walk among the wind generators in the Altamont Pass, CA and some of the surrounding area windfarms. There were dead birds under them every time I was there. That was back in the late 1980's up to the mid 1990's. Then I moved out of California.

How did they taste? Was the meat removed from the bone before you tried to eat them or did you eat the meat off the bone? Have you ever eaten squirrel? If so, how did the, assuming ground rat, compare squirrels, the tree rats?

Deleted. Internet issues causing problems on my end I think.

Nor are they mutually inclusive either!

When I was on facebook ASA pages, there were linguists that wrote about a meningitis outbreak at Ord. I think one or two may have been there at the time. Been a few years so I can't recall the details. I have no memory of who the NSA guys (not singular) were. Just that they were there. One NSA rep always showed up in the DF room with a bunch of badges hanging around his neck. I asked why he was wearing so many. He told me that he traveled around to so many different units and could never remember which security badge was needed for which base so he wore them all, then told the guards, you choose which badge you need to see. The bomb dump at Phu Bai? I missed that. It happened after I left in May 1972. That was also written about on the facebook pages. I think someone said that it was raining shrapnel down on the base. Or was that a bomb dump at Danang? I think the bomb dump at both bases blew up. I remember the bomb dump at Qhuy Nhon blew up when I was at Phu Cat. It was at night and we could see the glow of explosions over the mountains, hear the whoomph, and sometimes it seemed we could feel the explosion through the ground. Phu Cat is about 15 miles away from Qhuy Nhon as the Huey flies.

The only civilians I knew (only talked with) at Phu Bai were the NSA guy assigned there and the Vietnamese working on the base. Since you went to VN lingy school, was it at Fort Ord or Fort Bliss? Were you ever at Phu Cat? I was with Det 3 of the 330th RR Co, for 7 months when our DF site was on the northern perimeter just down the hill from the bomb dump and near the K9 kennels.

You are welcome. You can check my posts on my profile page (or whatever it's called). I would not say that I am always courteous, but when someone calls me names or bullies me, I won't back down from the attack. I think at most I might make a sarcastic that may border on being snide. But no outright denigrating to or about people. I don't know that my experience is in cultural or historical milieu is extensive, but it is more than what some have had. My dad was in the U.S. Army so there was the benefit of travel and exposure to different cultures and countries. I have also had employment that has required that I associate with people such as (what I call) the little old man or woman down the street, up to having to work with Secret Service personnel protecting presidents. Here in the U.S. of A. there has been, for several years, some advantages to being a minority. I could take advantage of that by making a claim based on Cherokee Indian (oh wait, I mean Native American) ancestry, but I guess I am too lazy. Besides, I seem to have been able to get by on my own.

Yes, that isn't me in the avatar, but that is what I did for seven months, working high frequency direction finding (HFDF). Did you know RRU guys from the 8th after the 8th moved to Danang from Phu Bai in 1972? A guy I trained with as a 05D DF operator left Vietnam in 1971, was sent back to the states to work a job that bored him to death. He re-enlisted to go back to Vietnam and was with an Airborne DF unit in Danang. One aircraft he was in was hit by 37mm anti aircraft fire. They were able to return to Danang with out crashing.
