I mean, some serious jail time, some prosecutions, get some renumeration for the billions in fraud perpetrated by the Somali “community” ? (and, let’s face it by many others in the US for both the the healthcare and the childcare fraud)

When are we gonna see some of that money returned to the taxpayers?

Is the inaction part of Pam Bondi’s legacy? Is it just that the Feds don’t care? Are they , like the Epstein case, waiting for the Statute of Limitations to kick in?

Are things on hold because these people provided the proper kickbacks to politicians?

Seriously, WTF?

Why are all the names redacted?

Pull our presence from those NATO “allies” that refused to cooperate with the US this time against Iran.

Take, for instance the fact that Spain refused to allow the use of the airbase at Torrejón  and other airports for support aircraft in the operation against Iran.

Were it me, I’d pull all personnel and all equipment off the base, and destroy everything  that the US had bult at those airports….buildings, refueling, fuel storage, and runways. Let the explosives engineers have fun. Leave nothing that the US built since the inception of NATO.

Even if you left the infrastructure, the loss of US personnel would be a devastating blow to the economy. Like make the local area end up like Flint, Michigan, Destitute.  But I wouldn’t leave anything that the US had built or paid for either.

I’d do the same to Rota, the naval base.

Nothin that the US built should be left for the use of the spaniards. No US money spent in their local economy, nothing left of the installations but rubble.

I am sure that the folks in Poland would welcome the US, and likely pay for an airbase and a port for the US navy. Probably other European nations as well.

England too should get the treatment. They also played games when it mattered, even if they capitulated later.

It’s one thing not participate, it’s another to deny the use of a base that the US mostly built.

They need us, more than we need them.

Teach a (painful) lesson. It won’t be missed by the rest of NATO.

Really think that the cease fire would hold?

That Iran (and, frankly, Israel) would really abide by and honor, any cease fire?

If you do, how do you keep your fingers out of light sockets and other possible dangers?

Is NASA that desperate to find something good to say about the  Artemis II mission that they have to inflate the accomplishments? Are they that desperate to demonstrate that they have actually accomplished something?

Apollo 8 travelled 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometers), Artemis II travelled 252,757 miles (406,773 kilometers) ….4102 miles farther…or about 1.6% farther than Apollo 8.

Artemis II made ONE orbit around the moon, Apollo 8 made 8 orbits (real orbits of the mooon)

And Apollo 8 did it 58 years ago…..Before advanced composites, before supercomputers….Hell, you have a computer in your cell phone that is more powerful than all the computers used for the Apollo missions. Combined

But NASA still trumpets a “Record Breaking” mission that is all of 4102 miles farther than what was accomplished (for the FIRST TIME) nearly 60 years ago as if it were a groundbreaking feat. I find it sad that they need to trumpet this as some incredible feat.

Make no mistake, it is an accomplishment. Putting humans into space and keeping them alive while flying past the moon is a wonderful feat and bringing them back alive  But it isn’t all that much more than what was accomplished nearly three generations ago with lesser technology by better men (and women) on the team who didn’t need a participation trophy.

ETA: jerseyGirl has an excellent comment

With the voices in your head:

and also Happy First Contact Day

And, since I was busy and forget, a few days late Happy Passover .

Did you notice how quickly the long lines at airport TSA checkpoints suddenly disappeared after the TSA staff got a paycheck?

Now tell me with a straight face that this was not a Job Action. Go ahead, I’ll wait while you get your shit together first.

Each and every one of those TSA “Agents”  that called off needs to be fired. They broke the law and the conditions of their employment.

No seriously, I’m average….Sure I am.

You are too, probably,,,
