This is so radicalizing to GWOT veterans like me. We were told that we’d “fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here.” I still can’t believe I wasted my youth because I believed in this lie.

I’ll never forget hearing the Islamic call to prayer when I was deployed overseas to Qatar and Afghanistan. It was eerie. I hated it.

Now that same call to prayer is being broadcast in the Costco parking lot in Frisco. It’s not just Texas. When I drive my son to school in NC, I have to drive past a giant mosque. How tf did all of these people get here?

The people that brought Muslims to the United States are traitors to the highest degree. They make Benedict Arnold look like a kindergartener. Bush, Obama and Biden are the tip of the iceberg, but their co-conspirators are numerous.

If this trend continues, we will no doubt see the type of scenes I witnessed in Kabul. I’ve posted the picture. This is the aftermath of a suicide bomber and 500+ lb of HME in the back of a flatbed on Goat Love Road in Kabul… Coming to a town near you.

At this point, deportations are the moderate option. The betrayal is so deep and the rot is so extensive that I no longer want the moderate option.

@TheBuddyCSM Is that Pete Blaber asking the LT questions? If so, almost off the charts awesomeness.

@MikeRGlenn Would expect each of those Army FA units has its nuclear firing plans.

This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...

The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.

Everything is in the way they sit.

The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.

His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.

Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...

And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."

It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...

They will make everything uglier until people stop watching. Imagine what has been, what could still be.

More destruction of prime farmland in Genesee County, NY, which contains the MOST amount of productive farmland of any NY county.

This is not by accident.

“Yes but they could farm between the panels!”

We could all do a lot of things. They (ORES) do NOT farm between or under the panels. They don’t grow flowers. Animals are shut out from movement by perimeter fencing. Rural character and history is destroyed.

People living next to these things can’t sell their homes. For sale signs are everywhere. Who wants to buy a farmhouse next to a foreign industrial complex?

Wake up!

U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Matt Louis Urban (born Matthew Louis Urbanowicz) of Buffalo, New York, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions from June 14, 1944, to September 3, 1944, in France and Belgium.

Urban was one of the most decorated American soldiers of World War II. Urban performed valiantly in combat on many occasions despite being wounded in action several times. He received over a dozen personal decorations for combat from the U.S. Army, including seven Purple Hearts. In 1980, he received the Medal of Honor, three other U.S. decorations, and one foreign decoration for his actions in France and Belgium in 1944.

On July 10, 1980, Urban was notified by the White House that he was a Medal of Honor recipient, and the next day was told that the Medal of Honor award ceremony would be on July 19. On July 18, Urban was presented the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal with "V" device (second oak leaf cluster) and his seventh Purple Heart (sixth oak leaf cluster), by Army Chief of Staff Edward C. Meyer, during a ceremony at the Pentagon. At a ceremony at the French Embassy, he was also presented the Croix de Guerre with Bronze Star. The citation for the medal, which was not personally awarded to Urban before this, was signed by General Charles de Gaulle in June 1944. On July 19, President Jimmy Carter presented Urban the Medal of Honor in front of several hundred guests, which included fellow 9th Infantry Division veterans who had served with Urban in combat.

U.S. Army Private First Class Charles Neilans DeGlopper of Grand Island, New York, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on June 9, 1944 in Normandy, France.

DeGlopper joined the Army in November 1942 and trained at Camp Croft, South Carolina, before being deployed overseas in April 1943, where he served in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and France.
On June 9, 1944, regimental commander Colonel Harry Lewis was ordered to make a crossing of the le Merderet River and help attack the La Fière Bridge from the opposite side. Themselves under attack, C Company 1st Battalion was cut off from the rest of the battalion. Despite coming under increased fire, PFC DeGlopper stood up and began firing at the attacking Germans to suppress their fire and relieve the battalion.

Although wounded, PFC DeGlopper continued to stand and fire, and when hit yet again, still fired although kneeling and bleeding profusely. Meanwhile, as the Germans were distracted and occupied with PFC DeGlopper's automatic fire, the remainder of C Company was able to break off and head for La Fière to join the rest of their battalion.

For his actions on June 9, 1944, DeGlopper was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. He was just 22 years old.

@alex_fasulo Elba's abundant muck used to farm onions among other crops for decades...going away for this nonsense.

Local governments should require up front funds be placed in an escrow account in the event of decommissioning. Any municipality that does not is bordering on malfeasance without. Did it during my term in office when confronted with commercial solar projects. Helps to ward off bad actor solar companies.

@EODHappyCaptain Have a cost-free masters’ degree from a top US university in that field. Post 9-11 GI Bill was great.
