Landfall for Ida is almost 100% sure to be in Louisiana now but a lot of uncertainty about how strong it'll be. Seems like at minimum it'll be a strong Cat 2 or a weak Cat 3. The current track is very bad for New Orleans with them being in the middle of the heaviest rainfall AND the worst of the storm surge.

Yep, if a schoolboard wants it, then why not? If the residents don't like it, well, they have elections too.Originally posted by Jeff Buchanan View Post
The inverse is also true, I would hope that those celebrating this as a "defeat of an over reaching tyrannical governmental mandate" would have the same thoughts and feelings towards vaccine mandates. I won't hold my breath tho.
Does it strike anyone that the America the left claimed they were living in under Trump is exactly the same America they are cheering into reality?Comment

This is awesome.
But a little sad that retired vets are doing what our active military should.Comment

Let me understand this. We have a volunteer group of retired military who’ve we’ve issued weapons and transport vehicles to help get people to the airport because we don’t have enough active boots to do the job? Am I missing something?Originally posted by Mike View Post"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

I don’t think we supplied them anything. They set up the op on their own and coordinated with the military at the airport. I have ZERO doubt that the troops on site are disgusted with how they’re not being used. They worked in concert with the vets group to get them inside the gate.
In summation: what transpired was Americans who are NOT active military went behind enemy lines and successfully completed a covert op to get out 500 people who would otherwise be executed because the ACTIVE military has not been given such orders. This is another disgraceful example of the state of our nation’s leadership.Last edited by Mike; August 27, 2021, 05:21 PM.Comment

I've just had to let a couple of things go:
The stupidity of the "do something" mentality that has taken over re SARS2. IOW, it doesn't matter if there are obtainable and measurable PH benefits to be gained by implementing a particular mitigation measure. Nope, just "do something." Anything...... and, oh, make sure that no one is doing the same thing or trying to identify and pursue a coherent approach to dealing with COVID.
I don't think, in my lifetime, I have ever been so angry, so ashamed of an American military undertaking that we are witnessing in Afghanistan.
I'm done fuming over either of these two things.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated US Senator and former AG Robert Kennedy, is recommended for parole.
To think that you can assassinate a US Senator for political reasons and serve some time and be released is kinda amazing.
Crazy times we live in.

I heard. Personally, I think the only way that he should be freed is if RFK climbs outta his grave and says he is fine with it.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post
I was young, but seeing RFK sprawled out and dying, with his eyes open and trying to speak but unable to, affected me.
Palestinian, Sirhan Sirhan, had written a manifesto that spelled out his desire to do what he did.
