The standard of what passes for journalism in the right wing media is honestly shocking and terrifying. The headline of the article and the content have never so much as emailed one another yet how many people will read the headline, never read the text and then spread it as fact. It literally...

Oh for goodness sake, when something happens for the first time it is worthy of noting. Of course her gender matters, if women routinely held that position it would not matter but they don't so it does. Why must everything be a conspiracy to you people

This popped up on You Tube a couple of days back. I know food quality and quantity are perennial questions on the forums so this might offer some insight.

I am not going to troll through years of back posts to prove I am right but I think you might be looking at those years through somewhat tinted glasses. I have mooched around these forums for years now, since my sibling and then I were in HS and thinking about academy applications and I am very...

All the vids are up on YouTube, just fyi.

Energy drinks and chocolate (because I'm going to be watching in the middle of the night) Eagles

Indeed I have never hidden my political views on the forum. I have lived outside the US for many years and I hated having to watch our country turn into a global laughing stock. That is not the point though, it is perfectly okay to like or dislike the President, it is okay to agree or not agree...

I definitely don't believe everything the government tells me, we have decades of dodgy dealings internally and in the affairs of countries around the world to tell us that our govt is capable of dishonesty, neither though do I believe nothing that the government tells me. That is where we...

Excellent news, honestly this vaccine situation is the really terrible gift that just keeps on giving. How many doses have been administered around the globe by now, probably into the billions. It's crazy that this bunch of snowflakes, who clearly think that the rules everyone else in the...

Equally many of us believe that the previous incumbent exposed us to 4 years of incoherent shambolic lunacy and international ridicule and feel horrible for all the graduates of service academies who had to be presided over by a B grade reality show host but that is how it works. He is his...

Picture of the day winner for sure!

Just watched the fly past, I love watching those spitfires, (admission) I had a spitfire comforter as a kid and I have always loved them, the Red Arrows are cool but give me the spits any day.

Okay so I know hereditary royal families are not really our thing but there is something spectacular about pomp and ceremony as only the Brits can do it and we are on day one of three days of it! Being half English myself there is definitely something deeply stirring about seeing the whole...
