Let’s start with the Jordanian fellas who wandered onto Quantico May 3. Illegal, trespassing on a military base… throw the book at ’em, no? Uh…no.<\/p>\n

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official confirmed to Fox News Digital that Hasan Yousef Hamdan and Mohammad Khair Dabous were allowed to bond out by an immigration judge in June.<\/p>\n

The bonds were $15,000 and $10,000 for Hamdan and Dabous, respectively. Conditions of their release include showing up for immigration proceedings and staying away from Quantico or other military installations.<\/p>\n

Both men are expected to appear in a Virginia federal court in September.\u00a0\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Believe back in the day we would have regarded that as pretty cheap intel – only cost money. And note this all happened in JUNE – so by now I’m sure they’ve scarpered for home with everything they saw locked in their heads. Damn, we are stupid…<\/p>\n

A while back, readers were surprised that New Jersey’s ban on “assault weapons”\u00a0 was declared to be legal. Given the “common usage” part of recent Supreme Court decisions, it would seem that a rifle owned by (depending on whose estimates) 15 million to as many as 40 million Americans would be ‘common usage’ enough – but a New Jersey judge upheld the ban. Now an appeals judge ruled the ban unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Peter Sheridan’s 69-page opinion says he was compelled to rule as he did because of the Supreme Court’s rulings in firearms cases, particularly the 2022 Bruen decision that expanded gun rights.<\/p>\n

Sheridan’s ruling left both 2nd Amendment advocates and the state attorney general planning appeals. The judge temporarily delayed the order for 30 days.<\/p>\n

Pointing to the high court’s precedents, Sheridan suggested Congress and the president could do more to curb gun-related violence nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hard to accept the Supreme Court\u2019s pronouncements that certain firearms policy choices are \u2018off the table\u2019 when frequently, radical individuals possess and use these same firearms for evil purposes,\u201d he wrote.AP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does NOT sound like the judge is a fan – but he at least ruled according to law, not feelz. Plan on an appeal.<\/p>\n

And, everyone’s favorite aircraft (barring possibly the platinum plated F35. It isn’t? Thought it must be…) the MV-22 Osprey. The Air Force has issued its findings on the Japan crash which killed 8. Gear box basically internally turned into shavings…as Gomer used to tell SGT Carter: ” Well, surprise, surprise, surprise!”<\/p>\n

The crash of an Air Force Osprey aircraft eight months ago in Japan that killed all eight airmen on board was caused by a \u201ccatastrophic failure\u201d of one of the aircraft\u2019s proprotor gearboxes and the pilot\u2019s \u201cinsufficient sense of urgency\u201d to land immediately in response to electronic warnings in the cockpit, according to a crash investigation by the U.S. military released Thursday.<\/p>\n

The investigation concluded that a gear failed and broke apart leading to metal chips in the proprotor gearbox, which serves a function similar to a car\u2019s transmission. The root cause of the gear\u2019s failure is still under review by engineers, according to the Air Force.<\/p>\n

The issue of possible metal chips in the proprotor gearbox has come up at least seven times in Marine Osprey mishaps since July 2022, according to data obtained by NBC News.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not quite pilot error in the report, but he did rise to Indiana-Jones level “he chose – poorly” and it killed him and seven others. But for the part which got ME torqued:<\/p>\n

Conley\u2019s investigation also noted that a lack of sharing of safety assessments between the three services that fly the 386 Osprey aircraft across the military \u201csubstantially contributed to the mishap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Safety information on the aircraft is handled differently by different branches of the military.<\/p>\n

Despite a joint program office that runs the Osprey platform, safety data among services is not universally housed. For instance, the Marines<\/a> released narratives of serious Osprey mishaps over the past 10 years that included detailed descriptions of what happened in each incident. The Air Force deemed that same information to be \u201cprivileged safety information\u201d and not releasable, according to a spokesperson.\u00a0 NBC News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Excuse me, but what the actual f***? Multiple fatal crashes over years, and no one with enough seniority has pounded his\/her fist on the desk amd said “we want ALL your data on ALL the crashes on the table yesterday!” Sounds to me like some serious program management dereliction of duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
