As a well read historian with a doctorate, I assume you know the parade was timed for the US Army's 250th birthday which dates to 14 June 1775 when the Continental Army was established by the Second Continental Congress (making it a year older than the US itself). The Army recognizes it every year with a ball in Washington and major headquarters locations. A parade had been in the planning stages well before Trump's election, though I am certain patriotic dems would have held a far more modest one - perhaps with some drag troops to add color.

I guess you don't read the news much. Trump tried to make his grandstand military parade to himself fly during his FIRST administration. That was long before the anniversary of anything except his fat ego. Fortunately, COVID saved us that grandiose waste of money ... for a little while anyway.

I just don't think much of the policies of the current administration.

yeah, i suspect a kamala harris administration would have been waaaay better!

Congratulations Virginians, you get exactly what you deserve.

Says the guy in Arizona as that state turns more and more blue.

Be interesting to see where this might go....From $42 to $25 million, in one year. Must be using Nancy's financial advisor.

Bet the Iranian leaders pay close attention to this sort of news, while our MSM hasn't even mentioned it that I've seen or heard.
A good quote from this; "Bilal Hasan al-Jasim's GPS coordinates are now "over here," and "over there."".

I dont know about the domestic policies but I have a hard time seeing how anyone could do a worse job with the foreign policies then the incumbent.

Good work being performed in Syria. Our guys “detonating” the lump responsible for killing two U.S. soldiers and their Interpreter.

U.S. Central Command has once again proven one of my favorite military aphorisms: There is no problem that cannot be solved with the suitable application of high explosives.

Is that the standard you hold your country to? A hair better than shit?

But honestly, I don't know if she would have done as much harm. Especially in Congress had been Republican. He does harm to the American conservative movement on a near daily basis.

Anybody else think that this order would be a clear violation of the 1st amendment?

I’m not sure he can do it via executive order. But Congress has done similar already without challenge. The NFL is prohibited by law from playing on Friday nights or Saturday prior to mid-December

We know you like to claim that you are an American. Sadly, you are not. This is not something your words can fix. We have let you go. Enjoy being a citizen of the world. As an American myself I think you made a mistake and you need to live with that. You will no longer be considered an American here and consequently your opinions on all things American are invalid. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, this is called tough love. Adios amigo, sayonara, Caio or however one says good bye in a language that you understand.

That’s right, I am totally uninformed.

No, everything in my post was exactly accurate - unless it was the well read historian part.

I said the same exact thing to Arizonan's when they voted for the lunacy of Commie Katie.

The Iranian leadership needs to be wiped out of existence.

I didn't feel that way on our Kauai ride, but then, ignorance is bliss....

I looked for and found the only company at the time that would fly with the doors off. Figured this would make for better pictures, which it did. But our bird was an older smaller chopper. It would only carry up to 4 people that included the captain. This meant my wife and I would have the ride to ourselves. But as I say and older and smaller bird.

I noticed that all of the other helicopters on the pad were much newer and bigger. But they all flew with the doors on and I'm guessing they carried upwards of 6 or 7 passengers plus the pilot. Not likely to have the ride to yourself that way.

Cassidy always struck me as pretty level headed. Those who know more about him - yes? No? Or is this another case of the Tantrum Thrower in Chief not getting his way?

Yep. I still own property in US and pay taxes on my Social Security. Fortunately, US military disability pension is non-taxable.
