re: Black Hawk was flying at 400 feet—twice the legal height limit of 200 feet

This is not correct. Night vision is still through tube like goggles. And many units have moved away for green but now it’s all just different shades of white. No dramatic increase to clarity. And in an urban area, the lights would be potentially difficult to differentiate between aircraft lights and ground lights.

As a veteran who has personally worked on the southern border under Trump, it was a time where I felt like I got to do my job in a meaningful way and not a single other soldier I was with ever wanted to leave.

Many said they would reenlist if we picked the mission back up because they loved it so much.

Also of note, while we had a number of drug runners and such, a very large number of the people we picked up were women and children abandoned in the desert by their coyotes. Border patrol needs all the help they can get and shutting down the border effectively saves lives.

Drag Show in the LSU Student Union

Oh no. A&M has yell leaders. But also large scale Christian presence on school using Reed Arena every Tuesday night just to have a space bug enough for everyone. And a school that heavily supports the military, places emphasis on living our God and the USA situated in the second most conservatively voting SEC town.

LSU has drag shows in the Union. Even drag shows at mandatory yearly trainings. LSU has emergency faculty meetings about how to handle one’s own emotions about Trump being elected.

We’re the weird ones….

I would imagine the focus being on federal employees. Not private businesses that can operate however they see fit.

I got forced by the military. I wasn’t threatened with a discharge, I was threatened with being forced to live in a tent city and leave my family significantly earlier for a deployment and being deprived of similar conditions my fellow soldiers would get. I wish I was stronger on it. I fought it as far as I could. But I felt cornered. And at the time it felt like I had to.

I don’t feel like I deserve something for getting it. But I know it may come for me. I just pray I got water injected in me.

Not because of the election. But because he’s with God and they aren’t worried about presidential elections when they’re with God.

They did a great job being realistic and providing the hard data with the worst case scenarios to keep everyone aware of how things were trending.

I have always liked Charlie Kirk, but I became a member of his page last night due to how good his coverage was.

So they made him throw the ball twice. And he did. For big gains.

LSU couldn’t make him throw and when he did they couldn’t stop that either.

Maybe you missed the bomb he threw.

If you’re gashing the defense running the ball, why would you do anything else.

2 passes. Both completed. 31 points.

Chimis is a fun place to watch the game. It’ll be packed. But it’s a solid choice.

The backyard has a large LED video board and a comfortable outdoor seating.

I’ve heard some people watch it at Good Bull. But I don’t know exactly what it’s like.

All of those options are walking distance from the stadium and nearly next door to each other in the northgate district.

If you want something more mature, Carneys is a great choice just a short drive away from campus. Huge outdoor area with lots of TVs. Decent food.

Depending on where you’re staying, I like to park at the polo road parking garage. It’s about a mile walk but there is a bus that runs nearby. If you can tolerate the walk with the kids, it’s an enjoyable one through famous. It’s $20 to park there but you can park on a surface lot or in the garage.

Alternatively, I’ve heard of many people parking in downtown Bryan and taking the shuttle from there. A lot of people recommend it but I’ve never done it.
