    Don't feed the troll. Demand that the moderators give him the boot.

    The last 2 paragraphs of the story: No shit Sherlock. Trump will keep on spewing bullshit, his idiotic supporters will keep on believing him.

    Wow. The 'demoncrats' can't get anything right. Here is a golden opportunity to 'destroy the economy'. To impose 'communism' on the country. To do all the terrible things the Trumpettes routinely accuse them of wanting to do. Instead, they have both sides sit down, work on negotiating all the way through the situation, come to a deal and avert a shutdown that would have pretty much paralyzed the supply chain in the US. Not bad for a 'senile old man.' Yes, it was his staff and assistants that did all the hard work. Yes, Biden himself didn't have very much direct involvement in the negotiations. But the staff that DID all the work was put in place by Biden. Can you imagine the dysfunctional shit show that was the Trump administration and the idiots and fools that he had in place pulling off anything of this magnitude?

    I would have thought the answer to that was obvious, given the absolute absurdity of every statement he has posted on this site so far.

    I think my views would be best described by saying that personally I don't believe in religion. But If someone else is religeous, I respect their viewpoint exactly as far as they respect mine.

    Yes, the Raleigh's were in the media within 4 days.. The Elsinore tipster said he contacted the FBI after reading about it in the news.. Quick search found the 29th, may have been earlier.

    The marks are the last to figure out that they've been conned, because they want to believe.

    I saw that Harbor Air story - $6 of electricity per 20 minutes looks promising. I haven’t found any recent news about the eCaravan. It seems to me that a converted eCaravan with enough batteries in the cabin to provide a 15 minute flight could allow 9 skydivers to climb to 13k and exit. The batteries could be stored in the cabin to make bench seating. With regen on descent and fast charging only to 80%, it could make two flights per hour possible.

    This is not true,, it says "may be destroyed" but the hairs were not, the cigarette butts were. Here Q1 are the cigarette butts and disposed of.. The hair is mounted on a slide.. not destroyed. Dated Dec 9, a few weeks after the hijacking the cigarette butts were destroyed. Q1 = cigarette butts..

    COL (Ret) Kirk Knight, Ph.D., died peacefully at Tampa General Hospital on August 26th, 2022, with family by his side. There is a Kirk Knight Memorial Page on FaceBook, and his family and friends invite everyone to his Celebration of Life on October 1st, 2022, 11:30AM, at Skydive City, Zephyrhills, Florida. Some of Kirk's ashes will also be making their way over to Deland for the Jumpers Over Seventy jumps. Kirk was jumping hard just two months ago in Iceland, but came back to the U.S. with pneumonia and never left the hospital. Kirk was just short of 8,000 jumps, and we will be distributing a memento to skydivers so that Kirk can keep jumping on his journey to 8,000 and beyond. His biography follows: Kirk Knight lived an adventurous and distinguished life as a U.S. Army soldier with over 34 years on active duty in defense of the Nation. He also performed duties as a U.S. Government civilian employee with over 20 years of dedicated service as the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) liaison officer to Special Operations Command—Central (SOCCENT) and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). He was a decorated combat veteran, with three tours as an enlisted Infantryman and an Army aviation officer in Vietnam, and combat operations in Mogadishu, Somalia as Liaison Officer during the Battle of the Black Sea, among other named operations. He served in countries around the world during his long career. A key position was his time as Commander, U.S. Army Parachute Team – the Golden Knights, where Kirk led the team to National and World Championships. He also had assignments as an Army Ranger instructor, and as the Deputy J5 for Plans and Policy with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Kirk culminated his Army career in 1999 as the U.S. Army Defense Attaché at the United States Embassy, Ottawa, Canada. After military retirement, and a brief stint in the financial services sector, Kirk became a government civilian at SOCCENT and SOCOM in the aftermath of 9/11. As an additional duty in his very limited free time, Kirk was a PRO demonstrator and Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Instructor for the USSOCOM Parachute Team – the Para-Commandos. Kirk’s aerial skill, reliability, and tenacity ensured that the SOCOM Community Engagement Program reached audiences at some of the highest profile events across the United States, highlighting Special Operations Forces (SOF) missions, opportunities, and capabilities. Always the consummate professional, Kirk represented SOCOM in front of millions of spectators, and tens of millions of broadcast, print, and social media subscribers. Kirk was scheduled to retire in September 2022 after 55 years of combined military and government service to the Nation. Skydiving was Kirk’s passion, and his contributions to the sport are numerous. He is the recipient of the United States Parachute Association’s (USPA) Gold Medal for Meritorious Service, a National and International judge having served as Chief Judge of the USPA Collegiate Nationals and an international judge at the CISM championships, most recently in Austria in June 2022; a Skydivers over Sixty and Jumpers Over Seventy record participant; and an AFF Instructor Evaluator. He was a trustee of the International Skydiving Museum and Hall of Fame, generously donating to the building fund as well as contributing innumerable volunteer hours on the path to “get it built!” Kirk ended his jumping career in Iceland in July 2022, with 7,848 jumps. His journey to 8,000 jumps came up just short, but his legacy and immense contributions to skydiving will live forever! Kirk is survived by his brother, Chris and his wife, Gail; his son Chris, and his wife, Andi; and his step-son, Greg Foster, and his wife Colleen. Blue Skies, always, Kirk.
