Pentagon renames F-35s ‘Lauren Boeberts’ ensuring 24/7 night vision footage of them

PENTAGON—In a surprising move that’s set to revolutionize both the military and reality TV, the Pentagon has announced plans to rename all of its F-35 fighter jets ‘Lauren Boeberts.’ This decision, officials say, is aimed at ensuring live 24/7 night vision footage of these aircraft from five different angles, providing a unique and riveting viewing experience and making sure none go missing from now on.

Plus this,

Lauren Boebert, the fiery and frequently controversial congresswoman from Colorado, was reportedly chosen for this honor due to her penchant for making headlines and her enthusiastic advocacy for the Second Amendment. “It’s a win-win situation,” General Maverick explained. “We get to show off our sleek fighter jets, and Congresswoman Boebert gets a front-row seat to her namesake in action.”

Under the new naming scheme, each F-35 will be equipped with state-of-the-art night vision cameras that will live-stream their missions around the clock. This move is expected to provide viewers with unprecedented access to aerial combat, refueling, and occasional flybys of national landmarks.

In case you are worried our military is preoccupied with leftist absurdities, rest assured these generals and admirals are right on top of every possible action to protect the American people.

The Senate, on Wednesday, confirmed General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with an overwhelming majority.

The vote for Brown’s appointment was finalized, with 83-11.

Currently, Brown is the Chief of Staff for the U.S. Air Force.

Welcome to the the four branches of DEI.

Not Satire:

Pray we elect a proper President and fire all these disreputable creeps.

President Biden’s nominee for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has a history of prioritizing controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as the top commander of the U.S. Air Force.

On multiple occasions, Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., who has served as Air Force Chief of Staff since 2020, stressed his desire to push such objectives and include them in multiple facets of the Air Force’s operations. Biden nominated Brown in May to succeed Army Gen. Mark A. Milley upon his planned retirement in October.

According to a 2020 report by Air and Space Forces Magazine, diversity “moved to the forefront of personnel decisions such as promotions and hiring” under Brown’s supervision, something he celebrated during a speaking engagement held that same year.

“I hire for diversity, because they all bring a different perspective, which makes my decisions that much better, because I hear different sides of the argument,” Brown told attendees at the virtual event hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

    So we go from a funny satire piece to a serious story about the Biden Woke administration destroying our military. Well I’m NOT surprised at all. I figure if we loose the next election it’s all over and all the kings men can’t put it back together. ~SIGH~ Of course, assuming we win next time what happens after that?

    It’s Thursday! I think, so Mornin’ Gang

    Pooof gone, just like that. Since I didn’t see the “waiting for moderation” I guess it by-passed the Spit Bucket and went straight into the trash. Funny, there were no links? No bad words? Well I did say “Biden”

    About my first post that vanished, I think  Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. will actually be worse than Gen. Mark Milley and that’s saying a lot. Remember Milley was worried about “White Rage” whatever the hell that is. ~SPITS~

    FWIW; I just saw a report on local TV about the confirmation of General Brown and they said the vote 83-11?! So 40 or so R.I.N.O.’s voted for him?!?! Then they put up the “short list” of those that didn’t vote to confirm.

    After much searching I found the 11 nay votes;

    Braun (R-IN)
    Cruz (R-TX)
    Hawley (R-MO)
    Johnson (R-WI)
    Lee (R-UT)
    Lummis (R-WY)
    Marshall (R-KS)
    Rubio (R-FL)
    Schmitt (R-MO)
    Tuberville (R-AL)
    Vance (R-OH)

    You will notice Cornholeius’ name is conspicuously missing as is Katie Britt. I’m not surprised one bit as I’ve been leary of Britt because she worked for Senator Shelby for many years and was his Chief of Staff when she ran for office. I voted against her in the primary and for her in the general….What do you do?

    Oh here is the Us Government link, the list is hard to find on their page.

    How much destruction has to take place before people realize that ‘diversity’ is just a false god?

    When artificial goals, like diversity, inclusion, and equity, are used in place of merit as a measure for advancement failure can be the only result.  How many times do we have to suffer the failure before we put a stop to the insanity?

    This is the type of behavior from cops against which we have to be constantly vigilant.  It is completely unacceptable and should never be glossed over.  Any LEOs who act like this, especially concerning children, ought to be suspended and get real common sense drilled into their thick heads.

    This female cop is undoubtedly the perfect “Karen” when she is out of uniform, making her neighbors and community miserable.

    The major drain installation project is over and done after $29,000.

    I started yesterday morning to simply replace the valve stems in bar sink in the island in the kitchen.  I bought the nice faucet at Home Depot Expo (no longer in business) about 18 years ago.  There is no make or model on it and I’m having to hunt down valves.  In the meantime, shutoff valves started leaking and none of my plumbing tool bags are here.  I had to find the right shutoffs to fit in this very tight situation.  Today, I’m going to plumbing supply houses to see if I can find these odd valve stems.  If I can’t find them, I’ll then have to replace the faucet and it is a rare single-hole mounting design.

    I thought I was going to spend an hour maximum.

    Now I’m checking bar sink single hole faucets online and the prices are ridiculous.  Some of them are well over $600.  Plain ones are around $200.

    The $200 ones are machined out of solid blocks of Chineseum to pretty close tolerances.

    The $600 ones are machined out of blocks of Unobtanium to tolerances tighter than the turbo pump impellers that SpaceX uses.

    I’m pretty sure I paid less than $100 for the one I have and the valves have lasted almost 20 years.  I even saw one that was gold plated for almost $700.  It’s a simple bar sink faucet, for cryin’ out loud.  The other ones have memory and no touch features they include to drive up the costs.  It’s stupid and nothing but gee whiz gimmickry.  Very irritating crap.

    Dimitri Humphrey shot and killed his girlfriend’s friend when she tried to intervene in Humphrey’s abuse of the  girlfriend on September 9. Yesterday Houston Police hunted Humphrey down and he was killed in the gun battle.

    We have been following this story as my wife’s sister Robin’s killer was a Humphrey and they look a lot like each other. My wife reached out to the Channel 13 reporter who she became friends with to inquire on the possible relationship. Apparently there is no tie in. It’s funny though, reporter texted her the day before yesterday to say that after a week. Wonder if she had a heads up they had tracked him down.

    Great job HPD.

    I’m back from Bryan.  I brought home some things that I’m going to donate to my thrift shop, which benefits people with brain issues.  Any kind of brain issue – birth defect, accident, stroke, etc.  Since Hubby’s oldest brother was severely mentally retarded, I donate there in John’s memory.

    I’m keeping the nice cast iron pan with a lid, and there’s a good 2 quart pot that is in good condition, since we have some pots that need to be replaced.  I brought home some home decor and kitchen items, and the latter are being run through the dishwasher right now so they’ll be clean when I take them in.

    So, I’m resting my back a bit (I had to wash dishes after that was all hauled in and sorted), and I’m going to start making some mushroom sauce to put in the freezer. I had no room yesterday, but now that all of that chicken, chicken stock, and breakfast scramble are in Elsa, I have room for more stuff.  I think I’m really going to focus on sauces for a bit, since I have a lot of plain meat set aside.

    While I was there I put up a “free stuff” ad on Craigslist.  She had some nice furniture and very usable other items that she left behind.  I’d rather it go to people who could use it than just let Bryan heavy waste take it all away.  I discovered that the Craigslist app on the phone is really confusing.  It took me a while to get the ad in place.

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! News is bursting almost faster than I can keep up with. Your morning roundup includes: Texas formally declares a State of Invasion at the border and deploys the National Guard to repel migrants; Politico begins five-part anti-anti-vaccine series about rebuilding trust in public health using sneaky, underhanded tactics; SADS top singer paralyzed by Guillain-Barré; SADS actor non-suicide; terrific news about something that DIDN’T happen at the United Nations this week; and Rand Paul promises to shut down Ukraine funding. Finally!

  35. Tedtam Avatar

    BTW – I saw the invasion declaration story yesterday and noted  – and as Childers corrected hisself – that the declaration was made in November ’22.  So he’s spent all the time ‘twixt then and now to build up some grassroots support by sharing the gift of forced diversity upon other cities.

    Center for Immigration Studies September 21, 2023

    A little-known part of the Biden administration’s CBP One parole program permits inadmissible aliens to make an appointment to fly directly to airports in the interior of the United States, bypassing the border altogether. Partial data on the program, just obtained by the Center for immigration Studies pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request, reveals that more than 200,000 people from four countries have used this direct-flight and parole program over the past year.

    Did you sign up for a prescription plan when you enrolled in Medicare ?

    Also, I’ve found few doctors have time or inclination to keep up with the cost of drugs.  I tell them they better have an alternate plan for treatment if the script they write is ridiculously expensive because I’m not going to fill it.

    The first year I was on blood pressure medicine my prescription price rose to $98 a month.  I went in told my doctor I needed to do something else because it was costing me almost $100 a month.  He said,”Oh, I didn’t realize it cost that much. Here’s an equivalent ($16 a month at Costco).”  I asked him why he let me pay out most of a thousand bucks over the year and he just shrugged his shoulders.

    The prescription plan I’ve used for 6 years is WellCare.  It originally was Aetna but they sold out their prescription subsidiary to Centene, Wellcare’s parent company.  They have treated me very well.

    I signed up with WellCare for prescriptions, $505 deductible. Inhaler couple weeks ago was $66, today Oxybutynin was $195. I got a coupon from GoodRX and it was $37.50 for 90 day supply. Not bad but I’m paying for a med plan that I can’t even use. Hogwash. I can re-up in October, got to be a better way.

    Hubby just dragged himself in, exhausted.  They found some drug pipes in the unit, so now I’m not so angry at the father.  He took his blood related daughter with him, so the mom just has the other daughter with her, wherever they are now.

    Some folks came by to pick through the items left in the unit: couches, kid toys and clothes, kitchen items, etc.  Turns out they knew the family through their kids’ school relationship.  The lady told Hubby that the father tenant had left the tenant wife on the side of the road in July – I guess that’s when he found out about her drugging or something.

    Anyway, Latin class starts soon…
