How Boeing's latest scandal could leave NASA astronauts stuck on ISS
Experts told DailyMail.com that NASA could be forced to launch a rescue mission that would be a highly embarrassing blow for the embattled Boeing as its commercial jets are plagued with issues.
A SITDOWN WITH "THE LAST OUTLAW" PT 2
Part 2 of Demons Row TV's sitdown with George Christie, one of the most legendary outlaw bikers who rode with the Hells Angels for decades and is considered by many as the "last American outlaw". Part 2 covers the rise of another thunderhead named Sonny Barger and his organization of the famed Oakland chapter of the HA. From the rough and tumble motorcycle club scene of California in the post World War II decades, with rowdy racing and partying clubs like the Boozefighters and the Pissed Off Bastards of Berdoo (POBOB) dominating the streets and deserts of SoCal, the formation of the Hells Angels and the rise of Sonny Barger's Oakland chapter meant that by 1965, when George Christie would be entering the MC world, the bottom rocker bearing "California" would almost be the sole trademark of the Red and White 81. Only one other club dared to challenge the HA for claim over the California bottom rocker and that would be the Mongols MC, setting the stage for one of the longest and most brutal MC rivalries in history...

Boeing and Airbus planes constructed with 'fake' Chinese titanium
Faked documentation certifying the authenticity of the titanium could mean it was not up to standard or tested to withstand the rigors of air travel, but Boeing and Airbus insist the planes are safe.

Well aren’t they special. Like him or hate him, give Elon Musk an extra 4.2 billion and he would not only get astronauts to Mars, establish a colony on the moor, build a real space station and improve the Tesla’s to the point that we would all really want an EV.How Boeing's latest scandal could leave NASA astronauts stuck on ISS

Biden DOJ's 'overcharging,' partisan targeting shows 'we have just lost our damn minds': critics
'It's a bigger problem than people think," FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin tells Fox News Digital
FIRST ON FOX: With a staggering 99.6% success rate in court, some federal investigations under the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) are drawing scrutiny for alleged partisan bias and the little-known problem of overcharging — fueling calls for urgent reform among experts.
"We have just lost our damn minds when it comes to criminal prosecution," healthcare defense attorney Ron Chapman told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Ninety-five percent of cases do not go to trial, because prosecutors can find fuzzy statutes to get such high maximums or even mandatory minimums at play, which force innocent people to plead guilty. And that's what we're dealing with — we're dealing with tons of innocent people who may not be innocent of all the crimes, but they're innocent of the ones that were overcharged against them."

With that said- I honestly don't see women ever being drafted until there's a drastic shift in society & DOD policy. The simple (and possibly unpopular) opinion/basis of that statement is dollars to doughnuts, it's a zero-sum game logistically speaking. Let's say out of 100,000 women drafted, go through boot camp and get orders for the next Vietnam war... what do you think a fair estimate would be of how many would become pregnant before they deployed with their unit? Move the needle into a few months of their deployment and being asked to take Hill 937, how many would become pregnant then? I guarantee that by having that option, it'll impact a unit's mission readiness far more than any minefield has ever had.
And this isn't meant to be a misogynist comment- just a statement of facts. Sticking with the Vietnam example, how many eligible men exercised whatever options they had available to them to avoid the draft? Whether it was by being a college student, eating tinfoil, declaring their homosexual, broke their legs, etc. They did it in droves because they didn't agree with being drafted for whatever reason and they were willing to do it. Not justifying it necessarily but just saying that I at least 'get it'. You suddenly fill the combat arms with 50% women (or is it birthing people now, I can't keep up with the present terminology/political correctness) and all they have to do is spread their legs and lay on their backs to get out of fighting a war.... again, probably not a popular opinion but you'd better believe that's going to happen in large numbers.
I'd have to imagine by now that the DOD has these statistics for Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, & Marines that span decades and the fact that they aren't boasting about it is rather telling on how damning the numbers likely are. Seems that you don't hear much about that type of thing since the tail hook scuffle in the early 90's if I'm remembering right. But I'm just a dude who has seen some things and those things shaped some opinions.
I will say that despite my comment's negative outlook- I absolutely believe that women can and should be able to serve in the military if they desire. I think it's fair enough to say that recent history has proven that women can and have made significant contributions in military service. I'd even give a thumbs up on if they want to serve in combat arms for that matter.
But until the pregnancy matter is addressed I just don't see it it happening drafting women into the military. I think the unspoken truth is not so much we can't send women into harm's way as a society as much as we can't accept sending pregnant women into harm's way. How to fix it? I don't know and don't have all the answers. Best I can come up with is to eliminate gender unique standards for the same job in the military. After that- I think that we had it right separating male and female units working towards the same goal 80-100 years ago. Outside of any of that being realistic- mandatory birth control maybe? IDK- but again, dollars to doughnuts as long as getting knocked up remains a get out of jail free card, that exit plan is going to be exercised heavily and I absolutely guarantee that the same male soldier can make that strategy a reality for 10 female military members over the course of a single 4 day weekend.

Actually, the pitch control, controls the aircraft’s speed when landing or descending. The use of engine power controls the rate of descent. It’s all a balance used to get the aircraft safely into ground effect where the pilot can then flare the aircraft, which stalls the wing and causes the aircraft to (hopefully) touch down.DEI ?

In level flight, the pitch (elevator) is used to maintain level flight or to set the aircraft up for a descent or a climb.
if all this seems the slightest bit confusing, it is, but it is why airline pilots get paid crazy amounts of salary. They have to control a beast in a three dimensional space while being responsible for the safety of hundreds of people. Keeping in mind that humans are a natural to a two dimensional space. Gravity is the virtual constant. It never forgives.
Damn I miss flying. Hanging a little Cessna Skyhawk on its flaps, descending at 70 knots, having the numbers firmly in sight. Or a Cutlass, flys the same but a bit faster, more things to work with (constant speed prop, retract gear) having all of the above but with three green lights on the gear indicator. Better yet, flying a sailplane in a thermal, with a hawk or a buzzard. You checking him out and him checking you out.
I was never close to the top of the game, there are many pilots here who can eat my lunch, but if a fellow or a lady is born with the flying gene, it stays with you for life. My mother had it, I have it, our son has it.
Obvious.... Those that don't have it should not be flying any type of airplane.
High school classmates at the Tony Belmont Hill School in MA. Played on the football team together.
More shit born and bred in MA destroying the country.
Women, I worked with women all my life. Some worked for me, some I worked for. Some were great, some were a wasted fuck, only GOD knows why they were allowed to contribute to the gene pool. Most were ok.
Finishing my little career in our nation’s military, I became a member of the National Guard. Now I Wish I had stayed, but being young, I was stupid and didn’t. What I learned after returning and becoming a member of the “mixed” Guard was that women, for the most part, when in mixed units romanced the MARRIED Senior NCO’s. Leaving us to do our work and their work as well.
Prior to leaving the shores of the western hemisphere's continents and traveling at YOUR expense to the wonders of the Orient….The U. S. Army operated in the old fashioned way. The women did women’s work (sorry ladies) the men fought the bad guys. The women were pretty much kept on a very tight leash and the men faced serious charges, barging into the women’s quarters. At night we could meet up at the enlisted or NCO’s clubs and they were nice. We, being on our way to Vietnam sure appreciated it. But as said, they were Separate. Never had problems with sexual abuse because there never was that opportunity. No naval tail hook scandals, no, women getting raped while on the job, nothing…it worked.
When I returned, the Army as well as the rest of the nation was in a period of change. I came back to Ft Carson, and having left the tropics, 15 to 20 degrees BELOW ZERO with only a fatigue jacket and cotton fatigues was quite a shock. Learned to snow ski. In Louisiana if we get a couple of inches of snow a couple times a DECADE, it was a period of rough winters.
While there, we toured Colorado College. There were men inside women’s dorm rooms, socializing! When I was called to serve, a few years before, a man in a women’s dorm was cause for felony arrest. (And both being kicked out of school).
Getting a bit wordy here this morning. But the point. It’s all right for women to be in the Army. They have their place and they can meet a great need and do it very, very well. Today, with mixed units, not so much.
Folks, everyone, man women, white black asian can’t all be the same. Because we are not all the same. Good men regardless of race, do men things good. Good women, regardless of race do women things good. Some humans are leaders some are followers and some are wasted fucks.
Call me whatever name you like, but I am old enough to remember when the nation worked.
Big deterrent to actually becoming a citizen.

Why buy the cow when you get the milk free?
I don’t law speak. But the verbiage appears to include the illegals. Just not the green cards, work visa, and foreign students here legally.
