When Daniel Boone was 22 years old he fought in the French and Indian war and lead an expedition to explore West Florida. It’s quite common to find a 22 year old sitting in the pilot seat of a 100 million dollar aircraft with bombs and rockets attached, and given the go ahead to kill a bunch of people and break a lot of hardware.

"Who’s buying into the democrat’s propaganda that our communities are heaped in domestic/violent terrorism? AND WHO gets the $18 million grant?"

Good question. What exactly does this department do for $18 million?

That’s how it went. Clearing brush, mowing, helping with the garbage. You name it. Also, my first experience with union work. A lot of wasted time, to be sure.

How many incidents involving “known wolf” terrorists have there been?

Why do you think the DC bureaucrats are any better at stopping terrorism?

These DC bureaucrats are the same ones that have been labeling people like you a white violent extremist for being too loud at a school board meeting objecting to gender ideology insanity.

My comment was more how colossally inept the entire Biden administration was. The only actual expert was a tranny thief freak.

OK, so why not just replace them all with high school freshman?

I piloted a 45foot gunboat at age 19 in Vietnam. He’ll be fine.

“...but he seems to be DEI is the truest sense: didn’t earn it!”

The left wing bureaucrats hired by the democrats are all engaged in theft or sedition or both. Screw that. This is a better pick than anyone the filthy rats choose.
