Except it didn't, that was merely a cover story. Interestingly, USAF made public one dark program to keep another darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Erie canal, the canal that connected NY City with Lake Ontario and the interior of the fledgling USA, was contrary to popular mythology, not built with slave labor. Rather it was built primarily by Irish immigrants. Reason, it was far cheaper to pay the Irish, live or die in the dangerous work of digging the canal, than it was to maintain the human investment of slaves.

Everything I've seen says definitively that he was lost control of a MiG-23 and died when he ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've seen says definitively that he was lost control of a MiG-23 and died when he ejected. Ward Carroll, F-14 RIO and writer, implied that General Bond's death was attributed to the crash of the MiG-23 while it was really an F-117. Constant Peg, the secret program of MiG-21s and MiG-23s based at Tonopah, was a cover program for Senior Trend, the F-117 program also based at Tonopah. The airforce, under pressure to reveal what Bond was flying when he died, gave up Constant Peg in order to keep Senior Trend dark. Maybe it was a MiG-23, maybe an F-117. What is factual is that the alleged crash site is on ground heavily contaminated by radiation. Coincidence or convenience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R011 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Given they've stuck to that story decades after the F-117 program was outed and the paucity of sources claiming it was that rather than a MiG-23, I'm inclined to go with the official story.

Detonable Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 A friend of mine of Irish extraction said he discovered Irishmen drained one of the swamps in the south US, because the slaves died of malaria or something, costing their owners, but you could always get more Irishmen.

DB Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 There is a bit of a problem here, but it has very little to do with anything the three sides in this argument are saying is the cause. https://gothamist.com/news/why-are-shootings-and-murders-rise-nyc You have the Mayor arguing with the court system, the court system arguing with the police commissioner. These people are all supposed to be working together to keep crime under control, instead they're more interested in grandstanding and blame shifting. Meanwhile, nobody is talking about how NYC has fewer murders than London any more (it doesn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmgill Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) I think it's easily established that DeBlasio is a worse mayor than Khan. Not that either are examples of good management or insight into what's required. Vying for worst place with New York isn't exactly a thing that's good even if NYC gets ahead of you. It's like bragging that you don't have as many syphylis sores as the other guy. Edited July 30, 2021 by rmgill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmgill Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Well, if someone isn't arrested and charged, did the crime actually occur? This all ties into the 2+2=5 logic that the left is pushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobu Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Still in shock at Kris Bryant in a Giants uniform. Turner and Scherzer to the Dodgers was shocking, in a different way, as well. The battle for the NL West is going to be epic. Edited to add: The Dodgers' front office brain trust is an opponent worthy of serious respect, and this is coming from a Giants fan.

Ivanhoe Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I haven't paid attention to MLB for a couple of decades now, but sure enough when an MLB news story crosses my visual axis it is in a year when the Giants and Dodgers are killing it, and the Padres suffer injuries. Every freakin' time. Padres put together a 0.575 W/L record, one or both of the other two are up around 0.600. F*ckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatis Jr reminds me of Griffey Jr, i.e., a serious problem for the rest of the league Can't wait to see him in person, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
