Plan B Forum

From what I understand from some of my prior colleagues, other than for some crack drill teams (for funeral and such) there is very little drill practiced after basic training in the current army. I a way it makes sense; much of the drill comes from times when large units of tropps used them in batt...

I also do think there is a tradition among some southerners which includes military service; even among the well educated. If we look at the private military colleges, all except Norwich are in the south, producing many officers (including many lifers) through their programs, which reflects the dedi...

Try to be objective and set aside your radical, anti-establishment, Communist-leaning youth for a moment. Be honest—are you really telling me you cannot remember either of those two ever expressing the thought that the national government of the United States is supreme over all others? Your gratui...

This is not the first time the National Guard has been federalized without the cooperation of a state governor. No, but I cannot recall a time when a president acted unilaterally; not enforcing the orders of a federal court, e.g., to send in troops. n the past, you always seemed to be on the other ...

Or Duce; at least the trains will run on time.

FWIW, I never recall either of you saying it.

Are you saying the President doesn't have the responsibility to suppress riots and insurrections across the country? Does he just have to sit in the White House and watch them happen? Now, if it were a Democratic President handling things the same way Trump is, I presume it would be considered acce...

I am hopeful for the hearing today to get a PI; I had a case with Judge Breyer a number of years ago and have found him to be level-headed and fair--scheduling this hearing quickly is indicative of that. IMHO, it would be ridiculous to permit this real "stunt" to continue and I hope he agrees. Il Du...

Because of this, they believe they have a right to enter without restrictions, making Mexico distinct from other nations. As Mexico grows stronger over the next century, this historical memory may contribute to tensions between Mexico and the United States and even possibly war. And what, the peopl...

There are individuals in Southern California who want to break away and join Mexico. Some of them may have lived here for years and may even be American citizens, but their loyalty remains with Mexico. I cannot say how many people fall into this category, but as the Mexican population in Southern C...

First of all, how do you know they're all citizens? Secondly, they're fighting for the right of foreigners to flood into the country and colonize the United States. Colonize? Please; that BS has been used to demonize every immigrant coming to the US. Typical type of thing to inflame the public--a T...

Two self-important jerks who were friends fighting; who could have predicted that? The battle of the legends in their own minds will be fin to watch.

He's the wrong end.

Personally, I think this general acceptance of the "status quo" is a consequence of the US healthcare system; for many, if not most, they have very little input on their own healthcare plans, just blithely accepting the "doctor's orders". The law helps perpetuate this, restricting any access to heal...

The Donalds Trump are simply spreading their own ignorance and misinformation, which just makes it harder for the general public to understand cancer diagnoses. Or they're just being jerks and not caring about the truth or accuracy of what they say. But that's what Trump supporters seem to love.

As for stupidity, it is never painful for the stupid until it's too late. Sad but true.

NO, this automatically posted twice; not sure why

That cinches it; she's Trump's next Supreme Court nominee.

You are correct; I forgot that. Actually, as i recall she has an Ed.D. Thanks.
