Okay, they are Polish. But they are MiGs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let’s lead off today with a bit on how Russian pilots over Syria are continuing their actions against US drones. This is the sixth time recently.<\/p>\n

A senior Air Force commander said the move on Sunday was an attempt by the Russians to knock the MQ-9 Reaper drone out of the sky and came just a week after a Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close<\/span> to a U.S. surveillance aircraft carrying a crew in the region, jeopardizing the lives of the four Americans on board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are they doing it because they are upset over out Ukraine aid? Supporting Iran? Various reasons are offered.\u00a0 AP News<\/a><\/p>\n

Kinda wonder what it would take to put a short-range training rocket with an inert nose on a drone. MiG-boi trips his flares, the drone sends\u00a0 one past his cockpit – somehow I would think that pilot would lose his enthusiasm for screwing with our drones. Especially if there were two missiles mounted on the drone. “Gotta ask yourself, Ivan -??????? ?? ????\u00a0 (Do I feel lucky?)” Nothing says they both have to be training rounds….<\/p>\n

And in another example of Biden administration arm-twisting, the Department of Education, those conservative folks we all love (maybe a little<\/em> sarcasm there, have determined that if a school has a marksmanship, gun training, or archery program that it\u00a0 is no longer qualifies for funds for them, despite having received such funds since 1965.<\/p>\n

They are hanging this on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year<\/p>\n

The legislation included an amendment to an ESEA subsection listing prohibited uses for federal school funding. That amendment prohibits ESEA funds from helping provide any person with a dangerous weapon or to provide “training in the use of a dangerous weapon.”<\/p>\n

However, in a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona earlier this month, Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., expressed concern that the agency is misinterpreting the provision which they said was included in the BSCA last year to withhold education funds for programs training school resource officers, not for hunting and archery classes. School resource officer training was funded under a separate provision.<\/p>\n

Tommy Floyd, the president of the National Archery in the Schools Program…\u00a0 his organization boasts 1.3 million students from nearly 9,000 schools across 49 states who are enrolled in archery courses.<\/p>\n

“It is ironic that the U.S. Department of Education is actively denying young Americans the chance to educate themselves on basic firearm and hunting safety so that they can go afield knowing how to keep themselves, their friends, and family safe,” Ben Cassidy, executive vice president for international government and public affairs at Safari Club International (SCI), told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“At best, the department\u2019s policy appears to be singularly geared to ensure hunters are less safe when handling firearms or bows and, at worst, are leveling a direct attack on hunters\u2019 ability to pass down hunting to the newest generations,” he continued.\u00a0Fox<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once again, a misrepresentation by the Department of Children’s Propaganda. And you wonder why gun folks seem a bit paranoid. Heck, we KNOW they’re after us.<\/p>\n

Air Force Special Operations Command will remain at Hurlburt Field in Okaloosa, FL. About 600 of the 900 members will, however, transfer to Arizona’s Davis-Monthan AB over the next 5 years to establish the 492d Special Operations Wing there.<\/p>\n

US Sen. Rick Scott released a statement on the changes after a conversation with Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall.<\/p>\n

During a Wednesday conference call, Scott and US. Rep. Matt Gaetz vowed to be “very aggressive” in fighting to keep the Special Operations Command intact at Hurlburt Field. They had been informed that Kendall wanted to speak to them Friday to discuss “programmatic basing actions” involving Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.<\/p>\n

The base is home to 26,000 active duty service members, their families and contract workers, Scott said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been fighting all week against the potential move of the Air Force Special Operations Command and asking for transparency from the Biden administration,” Scott said in his Friday news release. Pensacola News Journal<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oughta make the Florida folks happy.\u00a0 However, I think they stole that motto from an esteemed former girl friend…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
