Apparently KasH Patel was confirmed as FBI Director today. This was timed to happen on a Friday so that this news would be buried by the MFM.

Well, a conversation pit would certainly answer the question of how to fit a 100+ inch TV into a house without raising the roof.
Though when the neighbors ask about the mounds of dirt, look embarrassed and mention the police are finding bodies from previous owner. That would start a conversation, right? Posted by: Anna Puma at February 21, 2025 10:10 PM (Dy6Hc) 26

U.S. involvement in WWII grew to be about 16,000,000 military personnel by the war’s end: approximately 11,200,000 in the Army, 4,200,000 in the Navy, and 660,000 in the Marine Corps.
In 1941, the Army Air Corps had just 152,125 personnel. The AAF grew to a peak of over 2.4 million personnel and approximately 80,000 aircraft in 1944. ==== In 1945, the US Army had a total of 188 generals, including 5 four-star generals, 24 three-star generals, 60 two-star generals, and 99 one-star generals. This was a significant increase from the 23 generals in 1939, reflecting the expansion of the Army during World War II. The high number of generals was necessary to oversee the large number of troops and complex operations during the war. Posted by: andycanuck (/tzYP) at February 21, 2025 10:48 PM (/tzYP) 149
In FY 2023, 1.3 million troops were active duty and 767,000 were in the reserves. [2.1 million]
The number of troops in each armed forces branch varies. As of June 2024, the Army had the most active duty and reserve troops of any branch: over 443,000 and 498,000, respectively. The Navy has the second-highest active duty troops level at 329,000, and the Air Force has the second-highest Reserve numbers at 169,000 troops.

Colonel Gregory C. McCarthy, USMCR, is Officer in Charge, Marine Coordination Element, Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti.
There are approximately 900 Active-duty general/flag officers (GO/FOs) today of 1.3 million troops. This is a ratio of 1 GO/FO for every 1,400 troops. During World War II, an admittedly different era, there were more than 2,000 GO/FOs for a little more than 12 million Active troops (1:6,000). This development represents “rank creep” that does not enhance mission success but clutters the chain of command, adds bureaucratic layers to decisions, and costs taxpayers additional money from funding higher paygrades to fill positions. As end-strength fluctuates, force structure and strength projections for the next decade show the uniformed Services maintaining substantial excess capacity at senior ranks. Although historical numbers are inexact guides and future threats could radically change circumstances, the case for reduction is strong. The Department of Defense (DOD) should reduce the numbers, billets, and percent of GO/FOs in each Service to increase efficiency, streamline decisionmaking, achieve modest cost savings, and enhance accountability of decisionmaking.

Within seconds, I found her address and a picture of her house in Brooklyn Heights, the fact that she started working at PS160 in 1923, her starting salary, increases every year, etc. She was an "old maid" in the jargon of the day. Born 1903, died 1988. NYC kept good records, especially Board of Education. Amazing what you can find at your fingertips. She worked at PS 160 for over 50 years.

I never got the ancestry bug. I guess it's because I know on my father's side, I know my Grandma and that'll be that; she came to this country in 1911, emigrating from central Europe. I don't think records dating from the Austro-Hungarian Empire are going to be easy to locate.

Posted by: Bulg He had been to rehab and was clean, he was addicted to pain killers, which made him deaf. And he did smoke, I guess he quit too late because sadly cancer killed him. Sad, but it shows addiction could happen to anyone. Posted by: Piper at February 21, 2025 11:00 PM (p4NUW) 183
Ancestry dot com is fine but you still have to have a starting place. Reason is that many people have their tree information, especially living people hidden from view. It is powerful but easy to get misled. A lot of old pre database conventions exist in birth and death dates, soundex mistakes, etc.
Lots of useful information to start with can often come from local public libraries as they usually have a genealogy section. Posted by: whig's phone at February 21, 2025 11:00 PM (ctrM5) Posted by: CHuck C at February 21, 2025 11:00 PM (D0HYP) 185

AZ Intel @AZ_Intel_ 2h U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: I am also requesting nominations for the positions of Chief of Naval Operations and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff. The incumbents in these important roles, Admiral Lisa Franchetti and General James Slife, respectively, have had distinguished careers. We thank them for their service and dedication to our country. We are also requesting nominations for the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

She doesn't look it. I am so glad my grandchildren will remember her. She is sharp and has not let age get her down. Laughs at weird news on tv. Emails brothers and me every morning that she's still alive and sort of kicking. Signs off with baby bro every night that she's locked in and alarm set. She is more popular than I am with relatives. ha. We just saw her last week as she doesn't fly here anymore. I try not to get bummed out and weird with goodbyes, as she has lived a good life and is well loved. Also stubbornly refusing to live in assisted living. My brothers and I figure we'll know when she's ready. She would have murdered people during lock down of the plandemic if forced to stay in her room/apt. So she's good at home and my youngest brother lives on the farm near her. The entire area looks after her. If her burglar alarm goes wonky half the county shows up armed.

Posted by: Bulg at February 21, 2025 11:08 PM (77rzZ) Oddly, lung cancer has a lot of causes, and surprisingly smoking is only one of them. Not smoking only reduces the incidence, and does not eliminate it. secondly, it was awfully easy to get hooked on pain killers when the MD told you the drug companies claimed they were not addictive like the old pain killers and gave them out like Pez. Personally, I found it difficult to quit smoking, and when I was on Oxy it was pretty unfun weaning off of that, though not having them after the surgeries would have been worse. Be happy you don't have addicts in your family, never required lots of opiates for surgery, and don't smoke. Never be superior over it, because that attitude makes it really hard to admit to yourself that you have a problem should you suddenly find yourself with one.

The United States Army Air Forces (USAAF or AAF)[2] was the major land-based aerial warfare service component of the United States Army and de facto aerial warfare service branch of the United States[3] during and immediately after World War II (1941–1947). It was created on 20 June 1941 as successor to the previous United States Army Air Corps and is the direct predecessor of the United States Air Force, today one of the six armed forces of the United States. The AAF was a component of the United States Army, which on 2 March 1942[2] was divided functionally by executive order into three autonomous forces: the Army Ground Forces, the United States Army Services of Supply (which in 1943 became the Army Service Forces), and the Army Air Forces. Each of these forces had a commanding general who reported directly to the Army Chief of Staff.

173 Watching Vinegar Syndrome's 4K release of "The Keep." Everyone associated with this film (Michael Mann, F. Paul Wilson, Paramount) hates this film.
I like it a lot, myself. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at February 21, 2025 10:56 PM (CHHv1) It's a murky, muddled movie, mainly due to Mr. Mann's blowing past the scheduling for principal photography, and then as post-production started the SFX guy dies taking all of the compositing secrets for most of the effects work with him. The nearly 2-hour initial cut was poorly received by everyone (thanks to missing effects and the aforementioned murkiness), especially the studio, who basically told him to cut it to 90 minutes or they would. So he did, getting the SFX finished in a hurried fashion, and washed his hands of it. The best thing about it is the Score by Tangerine Dream. However, do not purchase either of the official so-called "soundtracks", as they have almost none of the actual music used in the film. Posted by: goozer at February 21, 2025 11:36 PM (JKCJD) 261

Posted by: vmom deport deport deport at February 21, 2025 11:22 PM (0JWOm) I would give you my genealogy mother's phone number, but then she'd find me here and reel in horror at what I say sometimes. She was doing genealogy back when my boys were hatched, so early 80's. Has huge books that are to go to the state something or other when she dies. Met distant family in other states that adore her after they met. I know she lurks on Ancestry and corrects people if they goof up her trees. She got hooked early. I mostly like looking at the names of people. Her stuff is to go to the state geneology library when she roars into heaven...and she has outlived her family and most of her friends. She came from French Huguenots who landed in Virginia. My great something or other grandfather owned the land where the Capitol was built in Richmond.

Well, from that Pfizer data referenced in the Alberta report: 270 pregnancies occurred during the trial. The data on 238 of those were missing. Dog ate the reports, I guess. Of the remaining 32 that had outcome data reported, we had the following results: 23 spontaneous abortions 2 spontaneous abortions with intra-uterine death 2 premature births with neonatal death 1 spontaneous abortion with neonatal death 1 normal outcome That's a 88% fetal/neonatal death rate.

Nobody has actually experienced any of these disasters, but they are sure to happen any day now that Trump is being such a dictator.

In 2016 he admitted he was surprised he won and really wasn't prepared for Washington's cutthroat politics. This time, with HIS team fully in place and not the usual Swamp recommendatons, Trump is laser-focused and it is a sight to behold. I read something about Trump having a transition team in place in early summer of 2024, before the RNC Convention. He was not fooling around.

Odd because they were exempted from the hiring freeze. I know a couple of people who got hired in the last few weeks. They might skate by as they are not funded by the general year-to-year personnel budget but are paid as a percentage from other appropriations.

Thought I would try "finishing" it as a lark. Twenty years later, I've done my dad's side to the 1700s and my mom's side to the 1800s. My husband's family to the 1600s.

Even more support for my belief that this wasn't just another election. There is a once in a lifetime thing going on both politically and more importantly culturally.
It's pretty fucking exciting. Posted by: JackStraw at February 22, 2025 12:14 AM (LkLld) The last three Presidential elections have been the most consequential of my lifetime. The importance of 2016 kind of snuck up on everyone, I think. 2020 was a wake up call. Folks who usually pay little attention to politics might have accepted the election results, but they watched the media pivot from demonizing the vaccine while it was being developed under the Trump administration, to slavishly embracing it not long after Election Day. Suddenly, a critical mass of skepticism began to metastasize. If they were hiding the truth of the origin of COVID, what else were they lying about? Enough Americans have had experience with the ravages of dementia to recognize those very symptoms in the newly-installed President. What else was the press hiding from us? I'll even argue that 2020 might have been more consequential than 2024. Imagine where we'd be with the Trump/Pence administration closing out....

The above reminded me of the argument that the Air Force and the Space Force, now are unconstitutional because the Constitution only grants power to create and army and navy. The wording is actually "Armies" plural, and Navy is singular. When they created the Air Force as separate branch, this question was addressed, and it was argued that in modern times with technology that didn't exist or was contemplated by the Framers, the "armies and navy" should be construed as simply "armed forces". But in reading some legal commentary about that (I soon MEGLO'd), for technical reasons, maybe you should construe and air force as a type of army, coming under "Armies" per the Constitution. The question has never been really challenged. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at February 22, 2025 01:05 AM (w6EFb) 364

There was one case sort of related to this question. An Air Force officer was being court martialed. He got some creative lawyering. They argued that this clause, "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces ..." Didn't apply to the Air Force, since it was not a land or naval force. :-) The court threw that out quickly, but it was funny. Clever try.

One of the reasons you might want to consider the Air Force an "army" is the standing army thing. The Framers didn't like standing armies, but they didn't mind a standing navy. An appropriation for an army can't last longer than two years, so an intervening House election can occur. And the funding thus must be positively renewed by said new House every time. No such prohibition for a Navy. So, best to consider the Air Force an army, and thus no standing air forces. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at February 22, 2025 01:18 AM (w6EFb) 386

Jeffrey Sachs is a liberal weenie professor at Columbia, and at a recent panel he tellsn why. https://x.com/i/status/1892782321750708268 Sullivan is either a naive fool or wanted the war. During the Biden years Jake Sullivan ran our foreign policy. As White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain and then Jeff Zients ran domestic. Who pulled their strings, I'm not sure.
