Today in 1973. Secretariat at the Belmont. The greatest athletic performance by man or beast in American history. He moved like a tremendous machine. https://t.co/pikUa2kugO via @YouTube

@OccupyLF Thank you, man. She was a Dallas girl and Texas lady in the finest tradition.

Our mother, Mary Carmyn, slept away on Monday at 12:01 p.m., surrounded by family. It's nigh impossible to describe the legacy of love and faith she leaves to us and her 7 grandchildren. Mom led a life of consequence, evidenced by the legion of lives she touched.

USN could end up with three CVN strike groups in the Med. There is a massive transfer of USAF combat capacity into the region underway. Biggest buildup since 2003 invasion of Iraq. Don't sleep on it. Bozo is about to take us to war.

U.S. Navy Ford class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) has turned on their AIS as they approach the Strait of Gibraltar. Once the strait transit is complete, at an average speed of 20kts, they will arrive in the eastern Mediterranean Sea in about 4 days.

@mattlawson99 @Evan_P_Grant It's rarely that simple, but I'll look at it.

[W.W. McClyde @WWMcClyde]

True.

If Joe Biden was ever photographed in public with his hand looking like this *once* much less dozens of times with little/no legitimate medical explanation, the entire WH press corps would have spontaneously combusted in outrage.

[W.W. McClyde @WWMcClyde]

@mattlawson99 @Evan_P_Grant My mistake. I thought you meant full-time. Tell you what, I'll give it some study myself and get back to you. Fair?

Wait a minute! You guys told us last June that you had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program. They rebuilt it in 8 months? And now we are going to have to bomb Iran every year? Forever?

I was awfully young and awfully green in that Arlington Stadium press box. When the Tigers came to town, I gingerly walked to the top step of the visiting radio booth just to look at him. He was in there alone, praying silently. He must have felt my presence, so he turned around, and without hesitation said "come on in, young fella, and share some time with me." My God.

@OneMoreRodeo The Corsair had all kinds of problems with carrier landings when it was deployed, and was largely turned over to the Marines as a land-based fighter. The British were the ones who (mostly) solved the Corsair's CV landing problems and she saw later action with the Navy.

This is when the F6F made its combat debut in the Pacific. Rugged, powerful with superior speed, and a stable gun platform, the Hellcat was designed to outfight the Zero. The preeminent USN carrier-borne fighter of the war, accounting for over 75% of the Navy's aerial kills.

For the record, this was supposed to be a Black History Month event. But Bozo has addled dementia diarrhea of the mouth again.
