I think the corner braces are too short. Maybe install some that are 18" or a bit more longerish, mounted at the same spot near the wall and then mounted to the rafter where it lies. It should still offer good clearence when you pull a truck in close to the sides...

"Longerish". Is that a technical term?

I believe he is to remove his hat unless he is in uniform. That cap is not part of any uniform unless it’s for the USA baseball team.

Like he or I care what you believe. His "uniform", by established protocol, is a business suit. No mention is made about a hat, neither for nor against. The ONLY people who seem to have an issue with it are you clowns on the left, who have an issue with anything and everything he does.

I heard the head asshole wore a baseball cap to the dignified transfer. Classy.

That's PRESIDENT asshole to you!

He's the Commander in Chief of the US Military and wore a white USA hat, not a "baseball cap". He represented no baseball team. He represented the United States. And, as military regulations require, he saluted when appropriate, just like the other military officers who attended.

This didn’t begin Friday.

Carter started it.

He watched the Islamic Republic take power, watched American diplomats get seized and paraded on television for 444 days, spent the rest of his presidency negotiating with people who had already told us exactly what they were.

Reagan facilitated it.

October 23rd, 1983. A Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept. The deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Reagan’s response? Tehran was heard clearly and never forgotten kill enough Americans at once and America will leave.

That lesson became the operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack for the next forty years.

Clinton ignored it.

1995 — a car bomb in Riyadh kills five Americans.

1996 — Khobar Towers. A massive truck bomb kills 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. Nothing.

1998 — Embassy bombings in Africa.

2000 — USS Cole. Seventeen sailors killed. Clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory. Eight years. Hundreds of Americans dead or wounded. Zero consequences for Tehran.

Bush handed them the keys.

He called them the Axis of Evil correctly. Then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in its history. Iranian Quds Force operatives flooded across the border funding, training, and arming the militias killing our soldiers.

And the response was to continue the war while avoiding direct confrontation with the country killing our people.

By the time Bush left office Iran had deeper influence in Iraq than we did.

Obama funded it.

This is where failure becomes unforgivable. The Green Revolution of 2009 where millions of Iranians in the streets begging for American support ignored.

The protesters were crushed. The regime survived. Then came the $150 billion in sanctions relief, sunset clauses that expired within a decade, zero restrictions on ballistic missiles, and zero restrictions on funding proxy terror networks.

Then came the cash. $1.7 billion. On pallets. On an unmarked plane. In the middle of the night. Delivered simultaneously with American hostages.

The regime used the imagery as propaganda for years and used the money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi expansion in Yemen, and the proxy militia networks in Iraq and Syria that spent the next decade killing Americans.

Obama literally funded the apparatus that put the drone into Tower 22.

Biden surrendered to it.

160-plus attacks on American forces from October 2023 forward. American soldiers killed in Jordan. Two Navy SEALs lost at sea intercepting Iranian weapons shipments to the Houthis.

Houthi missiles disrupting global shipping lanes.

Iranian proxies running operations across five countries.

Three Georgia soldiers died in their beds.

Then came Trump.

He looked at forty-five years of this record and did something no president had done since the hostages came home.

He said no.

Maximum pressure. IRGC designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Sanctions reimposed. The JCPOA abandoned. Soleimani the architect of Iranian proxy violence across the entire Middle East, personally responsible for hundreds of American deaths killed in a precision strike in January 2020.

The regime paralyzed.

The proxies recalibrated. The nuclear program set back. For the first time in four decades the regime faced a president it genuinely could not predict.

Then Trump left office. Biden came in. The pressure evaporated. The appeasement resumed. And the regime, patient as it has always been, went back to work.

And now we’re here.

So the next time someone tells you this is Trump’s war tell them they are brainless twats.

This isn’t Trump’s war.

This is forty-five years of American presidents refusing to finish it and one president finally deciding that the bill comes due.

If you are not capable of comprehending that move to Iran and defend the regime personally.

I don’t support the strikes and I bet the family members of the Americans killed don’t either. I suspect you have a sampling bias.

Of course you don't. I could have bet money on it!

Technically, it could be considered an old wive's tale......but it's true (lol) Nothing beats good consistant mintainance.

My old wife has never changed the oil.....

March 1

Starting with my first car in 1977, I bought the least expensive, name brand oil in the store, Pennzoil. I have owned 44 vehicles so far and have used nothing but Pennzoil ever since the first and have never had any issues due to oil. I changed it every 3000 miles until I switched to synthetic Pennzoil in 2010 when I bought my Challenger. I use it in my 2014 Durango too, and change both at 6000 miles. The Challenger is about to hit 218k and has had no engine issues.

My point isn't that Pennzoil is the best, but that consistency helps. Since nearly every brand of motor oil has their own "formula", I have always felt that mixing brands is not a good thing. No matter how well you drain the oil when changing it, some oil remains in the engine to mix with the new oil. I'd rather it all be the same kind/brand of oil.

We got 8 inches up here which is a pretty typical storm for my area here right after we left by the time we got back here it was all melted I did not miss it ha ha

8" would shut Atlanta completely down for days. Back in Buffalo, we'd call it a "dusting" and go on about our lives.

It’s too bad we can’t pick our kids mates

I completely disagree! Two thirds of my kids are married, the last one is a conformed lifelong bachelor. With the two that are married, I took no part whatsoever in the process and ended up with two great daughters-in-law. My parents didn't pick my wife. In fact, they told me we were too young (19 and 18) and that it would never last. We're 66 and 65 now, still together.

The "party of tolerance" showed their true colors tonight. The people who should be ashamed of themselves are the people who continue to vote them into office. They demonstrated to the Nation that they are NOT on the side of American Citizens nor our great Country.

I salute the two recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Thank you both for your service.

Medicare. That’s socialized medicine.

You say that like I had a choice in getting it or not. As a productive member of society, now over age 65, I earned the right to be on Medicare. Municipal services are also social programs, but they make sense from a funding standpoint. Without pooling their resources by taxes, the citizenry could not have police and fire protection, streets and roads, parks, libraries, schools or many other programs that benefit the entire community.

Apparently you missed the whole point of my comment, that the insurance companies would have profited over #30,000 in six years on just two people, using that money to cover the cost of free, or almost free, healthcare to people too sorry to get a job and pay for their own. That's the kind of socialism I have a problem with. Four generations of one family living in project housing and NONE of them has ever been employed a day in their life. Yet the cars in the driveway are nicer/newer than the ones my wife and I drive!

Yeah, this sucks! I had great insurance through my job. They covered the cost of my premium and I paid the cost for my wife's premium, about $500/month, with a $1500 deductible. I retired and stayed on the same program, but I was paying the premiums for both, about $1000/month. Then comes Obamacare. Employer switches carriers and the new one is about the same cost, but covers less. My insulin-dependent wife will now be charged $750/month for her insulin PLUS the $1000/month we already pay. I can't afford that, so we leave the employer's insurance and get a private policy from BC/BS that covers everything for $1250/month. But, BC/BS scams us and gives us the Obamacare version. The one our doctor does NOT accept! NO doctor within a hundred miles accepts it. And we're stuck with it for a year. The following year, we get BC/BS straightened out and things are good for a bit, but the cost increases every year. By the end of 2018, the cost has increased to $1800/month and the deductible is up to $6000. Then, BC/BS drops all private policies in Georgia. The ONLY available plans in Georgia are from Obamacare. One is the same carrier that did not cover the wife's insulin, the other was one that no local doctors accept.

At that point, we became self insured. On paper, we put the $1800/month in a separate part of out bank account each month and paid all our medical expenses from that account. It was a big gamble, but we hoped our luck would continue until we were old enough for Medicare. It did! After paying all of our medical expenses from 2018 to mid-2024 out of that account, including 3 cataract surgeries and a bunch of dental work for the wife, we still had almost $30,000 in that account. Now that both of us are on Medicare, we can breathe a little easier!

The Republicans have had to file a lawsuit to prohibit the U.S. Census Bureau from counting people who are in the U.S. illegally during the 2030 census. Why should they even have to do that? Doesn't it go without saying?

Immigrant rights groups say “That unlawful request would distort representation for millions of Americans and shake the foundations of our representative democracy. What? The Republicans are only talking about illegal immigrants (not Americans) who shouldn't be on U.S. soil to begin with. The census would apply to legal immigrants.

President Trump tried to get that done for the 2020 census. He was unable to overcome the democrat resistance. I hope it happens this time. Not only should illegals be stopped from voting, they should not be counted for representation. They DO NOT belong here!

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) insists on security when he interacts with the American public but not when Americans cast their ballots.

The Georgia senator is requiring government-issued identification for members of the public to attend his election rally Saturday while opposing similar requirements to cast a ballot in elections.

Ossoff has emerged as one of the strongest fighters against election security measures, not only opposing the SAVE Act to require government-issued identification verification to vote but even introducing legislation to enshrine into laws the right to vote without proving one’s identity. His bill, the misleadingly labeled Right to Vote Act, would make it harder for states to ensure election integrity by implementing voter ID.

This site needs another emoji for the things that just piss me off! This liberal clown Ossoff and his liberal co-Senator Warnock probably got voted in the same way that Biden won Georgia. Neither one of them is worth a crap! Neither one represents the Citizen's of Georgia, they represent the liberals who live in the high population areas of the State. I thank God each and every day that "Stacy the Hut" didn't become Governor here!
