Pilot (Hornets, Harriers, Pitts, Cubs, Airlines). Married to Debbie...two grown kids. Libertarian/Conservative, patriotic, trying hard to be a decent human.
@fire_starter457 If by "killers" you are referring to the Democratic leadership of Minnesota that convinced those two unfortunate people it was a good idea to violently obstruct Federal ICE officers, then I agree with you.
Best to get the facts straight before wading in. It was not "removed". It was "moved" for a perfectly valid reason, while other portraits of the same General remain in original locations.
Here is the actual quote from the USAF in response:
" The Department of the Air Force maintains an active art program featuring historical portraits and artwork throughout dedicated corridors in the Pentagon. Curators routinely rotate these pieces to refresh displays, loan artwork to other Air Force installations, and temporarily remove items for preservation, restoration, cleaning, or during office and corridor renovations. A portrait of General Daniel 'Chappie' James was relocated from the Air Force Art Gallery to a corridor near the Tuskegee Airmen gallery during renovations that began in 2023 and are still ongoing. This piece is one of five portraits of General James displayed within the Pentagon by the Air Force."
Daughter Lauren graduated from UCSB this past weekend and her house hosted parents for one last keg party in Isla Vista. Took us right back to the 80's...
There’s no profit in trying to find parallels between race and criminality. Focus should be on honest appraisal of how certain cultures perform, followed by appropriate criticism. Criticism of cultures where certain races predominate is not “racism”, because race shouldn’t matter, but cultural norms sure do...
@wil_da_beast630 I don’t think many people seriously believe that race alone causes anything, but the sub culture a person grows in sure matters. The problem is when people mistake a neighborhood sub culture with race. They are not the same.
.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
