Yes. It’s time (long past time, IMO) to move them from the Air Force to the Army. They’re really just very long-range artillery. Get the USAF out of both the missile and space business and get it to focus on aviation.

Military Necessity
…and the right to repair.
It’s a complicated issue. I wonder how much this issue is going to bleed over into space hardware?
Veterans
…you should remember today.

Both my parents were veterans of WW II. Very few of that generation remain with us, and that war, the greatest one in history, is passing from living memory.
The Armed Awakening
…of America’s radical left.
The Cold Civil War is defrosting, and I don’t think the left will ultimately be happy with the results.
John Brennan
As Roger says, I’ve always been aghast that this horrible man was in the intelligence community at all, let alone head of the CIA. Let’s hope justice is finally served.

Confederate Theater
“In regards to the deployment of national guard soldiers, I hear people on the left say that they are anticipating a ‘Kent State’ moment.
Personally, I expect to see a ‘Ft. Sumter’ moment even sooner. As a prelude, I would expect to see a Harpers Ferry type incident occur within a deep blue state. And by Harpers Ferry, I refer to a prelude incident where a Federal facility is attacked inside of a blue state by a local zealot.”
That already happened, in 2020, with the federal building in Portland, but the Democrats told me that it was “mostly peaceful.”

College Professors
…largely only teach the left-wing view of controversial issues:
“‘Personally, I thought we’d find some imbalance, some activist teaching,’ co-author Jon Shields, a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, told The College Fix. ‘I just didn’t expect it to be the norm in the cases we studied. That was genuinely surprising to me.’
Sadly, it’s not surprising to me at all. It’s a large part of why the country is such a disaster.
Antifa’s Recruiting Problem
Thoughts on the not-to-be-hoped-for civil war:
Antifa wants an insurrection leading to a legitimacy collapse and a communist/left-anarchist revolution. But there's a very basic question: where's it going to find the troops, and how's it going to train them?
