Arizona State Troopers’s Union Pulls Endorsement of Kyrsten Sinema
The Arizona State Troopers Association this week withdrew its endorsement of U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema in the heated U.S. Senate race after members said they weren’t properly consulted on the matter.
The association, which represents Arizona Department of Public Safety employees and retirees, had endorsed Sinema in the past three federal elections.
Sinema, a Democrat, is running against Republican U.S. Rep. Martha McSally in a nationally watched race that’s basically neck and neck and has become increasingly heated as Election Day nears.
This year, some members told The Arizona Republic that the association’s executive board voted to endorse Sinema without their input.
That led the association to send out a poll via email to members asking whether they wanted to endorse Sinema or stay neutral in the Senate race.
An email sent by the association to members on Oct. 22, which was obtained by The Republic, says that the recent poll showed “the membership has indicated a preference to stay neutral.”
“All members are encouraged to vote for the candidate they personally support,” the email said. “AZTroopers will refrain from any political statements concerning the race until the conclusion of the election.”

Joachim Holmboe Rønneberg, DSO (30 August 1919 – 21 October 2018) was a Norwegian Army officer and broadcaster. He was known for his resistance work during World War II, most notably commanding Operation Gunnerside, and his post-war war information work.
Honours and awards[edit]
In 1943, he was awarded Norways's highest decoration for military gallantry, the War Cross with sword.[24] For his war service Rønneberg also received St. Olav's Medal With Oak Branch, Defence Medal 1940–1945 and Haakon VIIs 70th Anniversary Medal.[25] In addition to his Norwegian decorations, he was also decorated by the British with the Distinguished Service Order (DSO),[26] by the Americans with the Medal of Freedom with silver palm and by the French with the Legion of Honour and Croix de Guerre.[25]
Operation Gunnerside[edit]
A reconstruction of the Operation Gunnerside team planting explosives to destroy the cascade of electrolysis chambers
British authorities were aware the Grouse team was still operational, and decided to mount another operation in concert with them. By this time the original Grouse team was being referred to as Swallow. On the night of 16 February 1943, in Operation Gunnerside (named after the village where SOE head Sir Charles Hambro and his family used to shoot grouse), an additional six Norwegian commandos were dropped by parachute by a Halifax bomber of 138 Squadron from RAF Tempsford. They were successful in landing, and encountered the Swallow team after a few days of searching on cross country skis. The combined team made final preparations for their assault, which was to take place on the night of 27/28 February 1943.[15]
Supplies required by the commandos were dropped with them in special CLE containers. One of these was buried in the snow by a Norwegian patriot to hide it from the Germans; he later recovered it and in August 1976 handed it over to an officer of the British Army Air Corps, which was conducting exercises in the area. The container was brought back to England and was displayed in the Airborne Museum at Aldershot, later part of the Imperial War Museum Duxford.[16]
Following the failed Freshman attempt, the Germans put mines, floodlights, and additional guards around the plant. While the mines and lights remained in place, security of the actual plant had slackened somewhat over the winter months. However, the single 75 m (246 ft) bridge spanning the deep ravine, 200 m (660 ft) above the river Måna, was fully guarded.[13]
The force elected to descend into the ravine, ford the icy river and climb the steep hill on the far side. The winter river level was very low, and on the far side, where the ground levelled, they followed a single railway track straight into the plant area without encountering any guards. Even before Grouse landed in Norway, SOE had a Norwegian agent within the plant who supplied detailed plans and schedule information. The demolition party used this information to enter the main basement by a cable tunnel and through a window. Inside the plant the only person they came across was the Norwegian caretaker (Johansen), who was very willing to cooperate with them.[13]
The saboteurs then placed explosive charges on the heavy water electrolysis chambers, and attached a fuse allowing sufficient time for their escape. A Thompson submachine gun[17][18][19] was purposely left behind to indicate that this was the work of British forces and not of the local resistance, in order to try to avoid reprisals. A bizarre episode ensued when fuses were about to be lit: the caretaker was worried about his spectacles which were lying somewhere in the room (during the war new glasses were nearly impossible to acquire). A frantic search for the caretaker's spectacles ensued; they were found, and the fuses lit. The explosive charges detonated, destroying the electrolysis chambers.[13]
The raid was considered successful. The entire inventory of heavy water produced during the German occupation, over 500 kg (1,102 lb), was destroyed along with equipment critical to operation of the electrolysis chambers. Although 3,000 German soldiers were dispatched to search the area for the commandos, all of them escaped; five of them skied 400 kilometres to Sweden, two proceeded to Oslo where they assisted Milorg, and four remained in the region for further work with the resistance.[15]
Shes pretty nice, and Kristen’s cute too! ?
Damn good job, P40 knocking down a FW 190.

Or a Texan T-6 painted as a generic Luftwaffe fighter.
That t6 that went down was a member of the Condor squadron based out of the Van Nuys airport.

My flight instructor was a founding member. I’ve got a few hours in a T6 and can tell you they are super fun to fly.
The one that went down last week had catastrophic engine failure. #1 cylinder came apart during flight.

Germans most have borrowed it from the Japanese Navy!
Pappy and his Blacksheep used to shot those things down all the time! Normally 2 or 3 per episode.
I’ll put the work into remembering the genders when the MSM and Progressives stop calling magazines “clips”.
I don't know how much of this crap is true or not. I read on one blog he was the manager of a strip club in Pinecrest and was a hardcore Obama supporter.

I laughed out loud at this. Had the same conversation with a random dad at “Boo at the Zoo” yesterday with the kids.
He also said “A stickshift is how to keep millenials from stealing your car” which i laughed at.
We probably pissed off all the leftists, call it a great day!

The AF Museum in Dayton? That is a whole day stop.
Oh, and her thoughts on climate change ? (As long as she's doing the "science" thing.......).
Well that's very inconsiderate. How dare you assign a gender against its will?
Has anyone else ever noticed all these he/she/its that are gender confused are women you would never fuck in the first place? I think this may be Darwinism at work, they are intentionally removing themselves from the gene pool.
