Unbelievable! On my VERY CONSERVATIVE local Ham Radio Net last night
Good guys who care about the community and selflessly help during weather events and other emergencies.
Mostly older, with a few youngish guys. One is 89, did 20 years in the USAF and at one time ran the radio shack on a then secret base literally on an iceberg. He was then a communications tech for local radio and TV until he retired. The guy has almost 70 years in ham radio. Occasionally his pet bird speaks on the air.
Politics are generally discouraged, but occasionally someone can't help themselves and a comment makes me cringe.
Last night, the two biggest Trump supporters shocked me.
The first expressed his apprehension over Trump's handling of the war.
The second expressed anger and disgust over the grilling and language used towards Dr. Fauci.
It's hard to overstate how much of a surprise this was.
Orangecrush over and back to DU control.

Today is my official 23rd DUnniversary
Dr. Anthony Fauci beamed with delight Thursday as he collected flowers from an admirer placed on the front steps of his $2.4 million Washington, DC home, less than a day after a jaw-dropping hearing where Republican senators took him out to the woodshed.
Fauci grinned like a gold-medal ice skater, wearing a red T-shirt, charcoal cargo pants and a pair of Hush Puppies as he clutched the bouquet of yellow flowers, which had been adorned with a hand-written note reading “we [heart] you Dr. Fauci!”
Fauci, 85, invoked his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday as Senate Republicans peppered him with pointed questions about the COVID-19 pandemic, in which he was a key figure.
Just 38 percent of Americans have high confidence in higher education, according to a new Gallup poll. That’s down from 57 percent in 2015. Gallup found the three main reasons for this lack of confidence are political agenda, cost and not preparing students for a future career.
This is a stunning—and much-needed—fall from grace.
Many schools and politicians spent decades pushing ever more kids into college. Sen. Bernie Sanders even sponsored the “College for All Act.” It was endorsed by numerous left-wing groups, including the American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association.
Shocking footage circulating on X shows thousands of migrants breaching Spain's border into its North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco on Thursday, overwhelming local police and exposing a serious national security failure.
The invasion comes shortly after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's Socialist-led government signed up 1 million illegal aliens to legalize their status under a new program to bring them into the workforce. However, the program applied only to migrants already living in Spain before Jan. 1, meaning Thursday's arrivals are ineligible.
Sánchez has defended his government's mass amnesty for illegals by claiming Spain's GDP would crater by 20% by 2050 without continued immigration.
DUnniversary?
That's so lame, it could only have come from a Democrat.
