29 yrs chasing the klaxon, 25 yrs caregiver to little old ladies, 60 years married. Father, conservative, luthier, bass player still honky tonkin. No DMs.
@BartBarts697@cdrsalamander I've heard a few stories, but not that one. First one I ever saw was in the early '60s. Still YF-12A then. F-101 and an F-106 went up to chase it and he left them standing in the dust.
Itโs pointless to continue the fight against the madness. Democrats in America thrive on communism, fraud, and illegal immigration, turning a blind eye to crime, while feckless Republicans huff and puff and just sit on their hands. Itโs hopeless, and Iโm sick of it all.
With the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 2026, the new Alpha News documentary Minnesota Mao offers perspective on the "stolen valor" and the "tyranny" of Governor Tim Walz (aka Minnesota Mao himself).
The documentary also takes a look at how the ideologies of Maoism, communism, and socialism, have affected Minnesota and other places throughout America.
Daycare calls me. That's never good.
For them.
Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"
Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."
I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.
I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.
Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.
Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.
Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.
Nursemaid's elbow.
I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.
I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"
Daycare: "sir please leave."
Me: "you should have called my wife."
