@TucsonRomero @JuanCiscomani Tucson is a giant sh!thole and @TucsonRomero is deeply disturbed about wolves. I am deeply disturbed that the citizens of Tucson are stupid enough to keep electing this idiot.

Then the activists want to make it so that you can have an abortion right up until the moment of birth. This is where they lose the majority and become radical. And now it's ok to kill toddlers.

[Michael Brennan @mbdat19k]

I'm willing to bet that every single one of the Clancey activists are also pro choice activists. This is the slippery slope of abortion. At first these abortion activists said abortion should be legal but only in rare circumstances and early term.

[Michael Brennan @mbdat19k]

I'm sure the vast majority of the country supports this view. Then abortion became a form of birth control and you should be able to have one for any reason but still only in the first it maybe second trimester. Most people probably support this too.

But in 2026 feminists are fighting for men to be women simply by declaring it so and a woman can kill her three kids because she was too hormonal and couldn't control herself. Do I have that right?

[Michael Brennan @mbdat19k]

So let me see if I have this correct.... For the last 100 years or so feminists have been fighting for women's equality and fighting against the stereotype that women shouldn't be in positions of power or decision making because they are too hormonal and emotional.

@yassaminansari Everything I don’t like is racist. Everyone I disagree with is fascist.

@CaptMarkKelly But it's perfectly fine to do business with Chinese companies, right Captain?

@cd4losangeles Socialism works!

@jennifergla @azcentral Just another example of the open-minded, tolerant left. Already decided what the other side has to say, so no reason to listen but every reason to demonize.

@delta3paw @azcentral Anyone who says something I don't like = not civil debate. Anything I disagree with = fascist.

Excellent read:
Captain Kelly Forgot What the Rank Required: When Residual authority turns into political theater

👁️🧠🧐 Captain Mark Kelly wants you to know he spoke to a grandmother today. Her 21-year-old grandson is aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. The kid has dropped 20-25 pounds and is fighting depression. Kelly’s conclusion: so-called leaders like Pete Hegseth aren’t doing a damn thing about it.

That is the whole play. A sitting senator who still leans on the title “Captain” turns a private family worry into a public political strike. He treats the existence of strain itself as proof of failure higher up the chain.

A captain’s job was never to serve as the fleet’s public grief counselor. It still isn’t. Kelly is not that sailor’s division officer, his chaplain, or his corpsman. He is a politician wearing residual rank like a costume. The second he decided to broadcast one grandmother’s concern as evidence of institutional neglect, he stopped operating as an officer and started operating as every other partisan hunting soft targets.

Look at how the same problem was handled when the cost of failure was measured in bodies instead of headlines.

Private Eddie Slovik walked away from his unit in France in 1944. The Army did not issue a press release about his mental state. It court-martialed him, convicted him of desertion, and executed him by firing squad in January 1945. The only American soldier put to death for desertion since the Civil War. The message was simple and final: the mission continues.

General Patton walked into a hospital ward in Sicily in 1943, found a soldier crying that he could not take it anymore, called him a coward in front of the other patients, slapped him, and ordered him back to the line. The political class lost its mind. The men still fighting did not. Patton’s premise was never seriously contested by the ones who had to keep moving: once you are in, the job does not pause for your nerves.

Kelly’s version runs the opposite direction. He treats the sailor’s condition as an automatic indictment of leadership. That framing assumes the primary duty of command is to prevent or rapidly erase the psychological cost of the work. Armies have always produced men who lost weight, stopped sleeping, and stared at bulkheads. The real question was whether the unit could still function under pressure.

Kelly is free to push for better screening, more resources, or different policies. Managing these cases is part of modern military life. What he is not free to do while still trading on the word “Captain” is pretend that turning one family’s private worry into a partisan attack constitutes leadership. It does not. It is political theater performed in borrowed authority.

A captain’s duty was to keep the ship and its crew effective when the pressure rose. Consolation was never the primary mission. Kelly has either forgotten that distinction or decided it no longer applies to him. Either way, the performance is beneath the rank he once held.

@Garrett_Archer What a ridiculous take. That’s like saying, I know the back door was open and it looks like some things are missing, but since there isn’t a detailed inventory and dna evidence, I am certain that a burglary did not occur. You really are a biased hack……Lol.

@PHXFansAZ The Dodgers spent 73% of their revenue on player salaries in 2025. 21 teams spent less than 50%. Who is at fault for not putting out a competitive product?

@SamRobGFC @TheOfficerTatum Local news reported that the person filming was an elderly man in his 70's. But you're right, the senior citizen should have risked getting swept away himself even though there were multiple younger people already helping.

@RealFLGunLobby @GunOwners Well done

[Michael Brennan @mbdat19k]

@GunOwners @TheAKGuy @wesvirdelltx @SilencerShop So now do we notify ATF to remove all of our other suppressors, SBR and SBS that we have stamps for from the NFA registry? I want to list my old stamps on eBay to see how much I can get from the stamp collectors.
