You know when you can’t recruit single dudes to come work on the Gulf coast in the summer that the country has gone to the dogs. The fireworks show at PCB was simply amazing tonight BTW!!

It’s time for us to think bigger, act bolder, and build back better.
What does this even mean? Such general BS.. I'm sure the media will fawn over this as one of the greatest remarks ever..
our president:
"We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime. The Cuban people are bravely asserting fundamental and universal rights. Those rights, including the right of peaceful protest and the right to freely determine their own future, must be respected. The United States calls on the Cuban regime to hear their people and serve their needs at this vital moment rather than enriching themselves."
actually not a bad statement except for the part where he acts like the pandemic is the main reason they are protesting. who protests a pandemic? does the pandemic yield to political pressure? are they trying to convince other people that the pandemic is bad? oh yeah, there's that whole "decades of repression and economic suffering" thing, too...
as for that last sentence, the cuban regime probably believes that they are "serving the needs" of their people. they need to step back and allow them the freedom to serve themselves and each other.
Biden made that statement? Like that, without bumbling with "ya know...that thing"? If so, good for Joe!
It would be awesome for the Cuban people to throw off the yoke of communism, even as the Dem Party and their willing allies in the lamestream media try to bring it here.
“Here, Joe, eat these squid and jellyfish. The effects last long enough for you to read what we wrote for you. Then get off the stage as quickly as possible.”
This was beginning to show 25 years ago in the Navy.. can't imagine what it is like now... A person used to be able to escape the "politics" of active duty and do rest of his time until retirement in guard or reserves without having to put up with as much BS.. that is no longer the case.. getting 20 in for retirement is not worth it today. Even during first years of war on terror.. there was a JAG officer who due to ROE had to authorize strikes on any target..

A scathing new report commissioned by members of Congress has claimed that the Navy's surface warfare forces have systemic training and leadership issues, including a focus on diversity that overshadows basic readiness skills.
The report prepared by Marine Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle and Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, both retired, came in response to recent Naval disasters, including the burning of the USS Bonhomme Richard in San Diego, two collisions involving Navy ships in the Pacific and the surrender of two small craft to Iran.
The authors conducted hour-long interviews with 77 current and retired Navy officers, offering them anonymity to identify issues they wouldn't feel comfortable raising in the chain of command.
The report found that a staggering 94 percent of the subjects believed the recent Naval disasters were 'part of a broader problem in Navy culture or leadership.'
'I guarantee you every unit in the Navy is up to speed on their diversity training. I'm sorry that I can't say the same of their ship handling training,' said one recently retired senior enlisted leader.
