Thank the deity of everyone's choice those dudes with with two chins and a pack of hotdogs on the back of their skulls don't have beards.

Lethality!

Here is the filed lawsuit of three executive management FBI agents.

It's an interesting read...for what it's worth Brian Driscoll is a really good dude.

I won’t pretend to really know anything about it - what they did or didn't do - other than to say there's always serious politics in senior positions, regardless of what anyone says.

As I once heard conveyed, you can ruin a hundred "attaboys" with just one good fuck up.

I dont know the whole story, but if there were FBI agents present at the capital on Jan 6th, I sure would like to know who and why.

FBI management told the IG that there were NO UNDERCOVER agents present.
False official statement.

I suppose there is a fine line between the legal language of what 'undercover' means. As in, there is likely a distinct difference between undercover and plain clothes operations. So, that statement could be totally true, like it or not.

A friend, former coworker, retired from the FBI. He never rose above field agent for reasons, he also said that once you rise above SAIC it becomes very political.

This is true... FBI UC's are covert and backstopped AFID agents. If regular agents were doing surv on subjects that were attending, I would not doubt that.

This is true...but from what I have seen and heard about...not like Republican/Democrat politics, more like institutional office politics.

Trump has again imposed a 100% Tariff on China.

Well, guess they will buy some F-15s....

I'm confused as to why we're setting up a completely separate flight school for these folks.

 

[policemedic]

I think the speech did exactly what it was supposed to, and I'm OK with almost everything he said. Much of it, like broken windows leadership, toxic leadership, DIME and DEI. It's almost like his speechwriter reads my blog.

Or did the blog write the speech? //insert classified markers here//

They have 30+ F-15QA's.
They have been training in the US since 2018(?).
Their temporary/shared facility becomes a permanent single use facility.
FWIW: The F-15QA served as the baseline for the F-15EX.
The F-15QA is more capable than the F-15E.

And didn't they just shutter the US F-15 training unit in Oregon?

Something the stories also miss is Mountain Home has a full Eagle Wing and a Singapore F-15 squadron. I can't stand the Qataris, but this isn't unusual.

F-15C Squadron is transitioning to F-35's.
F-15E and F-15EX crews train in Seymour Johnson, and Oregon ( can't remember where the unit is located).

Seymour Johnson wants F-4s and B-52s back....

I'd bet the DOD/DOW doesn't want another NAS Pensacola/Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani incident.

A bunch of folks in Obama's drone program start sweating when they hear the the phrase "war crimes investigation," no matter the context. Pavlovian.
