Thanks for posting that Esco, it was tough getting thru the whole thing without my eyes welling up. I had my wife read it and she got real emotional. 

This should be mandatory reading for all the younger people in our country to illustrate what  REAL hero's are!

Hint, it ain't social justice warriors!!

I've had the ones Raspadoo posted. They tasted pretty good.

Costco also sells MRE's. Mountain House is an American company. Might be worth checking out?

Need to hit them back HARD

This ^^^^

But unfortunately, our current leadership doesn't have the balls or intelligence to accomplish it.

One of my all time favorites.

With your thoughts of money you will do just fine. Takes a little adjustment but if you are a saver, you still will be in retirement. My wife and I have been really lucky and have gotten to do so much since retiring, 21 years ago, yet the nest egg continues to grow. 

I retired 3 years ago and this description is spot on in my experience.

Love to hear of others that finally get to enjoy the fruits of many years of hard work.

Congrats Bigsammy!

How does a blubbering idiot become president of the United States of America??!! Peace

Here is an example of how.

The entire country of Afghanistan is in total chaos while being over run by radical islamist zealots and many in our country are demanding the Taliban respect womens rights!! How about basic human rights for ALL the people there? 

Do they really believe that the Taliban is going to establish a Diversity & Inclusion ministry?? What an effin joke!

People that stick to their progressive ideology despite a crisis that affects every human being involved is who vote for idiots like Biden!

Saw this yesterday. She should lose her medical license and be charged for filing a false report and attempted fraud, but the AMA is progressive now so her license is safe and the justice system does not acknowledge crime any more.

The slow motion shots are incredible. It's cool seeing the suspension work and seeing the driver work the wheel in those shots.

Nope you are 100% wrong.....they Knew EXACTLY what was going to happen and it is part of the plan....they WANT complete chaos is the United States...the ONLY way they get and hold on to more power is thru disaster, man made or other. They found out Covid worked, so they will keep playing that card...don't expect the US to get back to "normal" EVER....this is the new normal, Govt controlling EVERY aspect of our lives... 5-9/gal fuel prices.... But hey, you have to understand.....No more mean tweets are on twitter...and that is worth it to them. 

I think you are giving them too much credit, they are not that intelligent. This is the same group trying to convince us men can get pregnant!

Billions of $$ of high tech military hardware just disappeared over the border to iran (the world's most prolific sponsor of terrorism) right before the 20 year anniversary of 9/11.  BTW the leaders of the third world no longer fear and/or respect the US.  Those Effing towel heads were well behaved from '16-'20 because Trump was willing to put them in their place (6 feet under), but this administration will not do that.  Expect another 9/11 level of attack sooner rather than later....

Don't forget about the thousands of prisoners that the Taliban just released, many of whom are al qaeda terrorist.

This is just my opinion, but I believe that the Biden Administration was in a hurry to complete the total withdrawal before 9/11 to use it for political gain. They did not listen to those who may of warned about a hasty departure because politics trumps logic.

Was it this interview? Definitely sounds like someone that is being asked for the keys. Hahahahahaaaaa

 

Yep

Saw a video clip today of Newscum losing his cool. I would venture a guess that his people have good info on how the polls are looking (real polls, not the fabricated ones the media puts out for public consumption). My guess things aren't looking good for the pretty boy and his true nature came out in his temper tantrum.

I really hope you guys are successful removing that arrogant prick.

It's being reported today that potential Texas Senate candidate and former NFL great Hershel Walker's wife, while maintaining a homestead in TX, voted absentee in GA . . .

Walker is considering a run for the Senate in Georgia, not Texas. And I would assume he is a Georgia resident.

 Oregon just passed a law that High School Grads don't need to read or do math to get a diploma.  what the heck is that about.

Just read about this today. They tried to keep this below the radar!! This was about POC not meeting minimum standards. What our state Government is saying is minorities are incapable of meeting the minimum standards so let's lower them. Instead of lifting kids to give them a chance to succeed, they want to hold them down to eventually fail. Sounds racist to me.

FOG has left the Oregon dunes!

 I had a great time. Almost 3 weeks and put about 350 miles on the Talon. 
Thanks to all that gave me the great info. 

What was your impression of Dunefest?

The CDC just got busted for posting wrong data for Florida, inflating the numbers. It's all political.

It will continue with the mid-terms coming up next year to justify changing voting procedures in light of the "crisis" we are experiencing. A good example, the recall election in CA. Ballots sent to all voters, dead, non-resident, and no citizenship status. All in the name of public health.

This is just another "shiny object" maneuver by the Democratic Party! 

While how he acted towards these women is wrong and he should be held accountable like anyone else would be, the fact that he gave orders during the height of the pandemic that needlessly killed thousands of seniors is being ignored, or swept under the rug with the Biden DOJ support.

Why, you might ask. Does it matter since at least he is being forced out one way or another? YES it does. He is not the only Governor to use the same policies that killed thousands of seniors. Michigan (Whitmer), NJ (Murphy), and Pennsylvania (Wolf) all sent infected seniors back into nursing homes to spread the virus and die. Cuomo and Whitmer have been exposed for manipulating the statistics concerning nursing home infections and deaths to cover up their massive mistakes. And they blamed the CDC for supposedly giving the guidance that lead to their disastrous policies. But, if that was the case, why didn't the other 46 states give the same orders to send infected seniors back to the nursing homes?

Bottom line is that Cuomo is their sacrificial lamb to direct attention away from more serious issues (killing thousands) that could take down at least 4 of the top Democrats in the nation causing considerable damage to the Democrat party.

  Once his falls out of favor with the Dems, I hope they finally go after him killing all those elderly people. 

The Dems will call for his resignation over the sexual harassment to avoid the nursing home scandal because there are other Dem Governors at risk if they go after Cuomo on the nursing home killings. Michigan, New Jersey, and another I can't remember.

I had a NordicTrack elliptical for 20 yrs and used it regularly for most of that time. It was big and heavy which is why it held up well over the years.

The reasons why I bought it was my knees were trashed and running was not an option. Needed low impact and the elliptical filled the bill. I also worked long hours and didn't have the time to go to the gym. 

Used it up until a couple yrs ago when I no longer could use it. Gave it to my oldest daughter and I'm pretty sure there are clothes hanging from it now.

My theory is that it's about the upcoming elections and keeping the same voting procedures put in place for the 2020 elections due to Covid. It worked out well for them last time and the Dems stand to lose the house and the senate if they don't take advantage of a crisis that they created.

H.R.1, the "For The Democrats Act", oops, I mean "For The People Act", will never pass both chambers, so just create a workaround. 

If Elder won that would make the Dems soil their panties nationwide, losing a gubernatorial election in a Dem stronghold! 

Hope it happens!

Great topic that brought up a ride I really wanted to do but never got the chance.

I was riding at Sand Hollow in Feb of 2020 and was bullCrapting with some locals that were Jeep guys. They told me of an annual ride some of them do from Sand Hollow park down to the north rim of the Grand Canyon and back. If I remember correctly, it takes 2 days to get to the north rim and of course 2 days back. That is in a Jeep, SxS would probably be less time.

I have a buddy that wanted to do this with me, he would take his Jeep and me my RZR, but unfortunately we never did that ride. 

I have no doubt this would be an epic ride.
