Ok folks, listen up. We have this thing called the Bill of Rights. It's the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution; they were added and ratified as a package all at once in 1791. This outlines, yet does not restrict or limit fundamental rights/freedoms of US Citizens, but also puts limits and places guardrails on the power of the federal government. These are not rights "granted by our government", these are rights you're born with, and are protected to you from your government. People have rights, governments have powers and authorities, sometimes ironically granted to them by the people with the rights. Governments do not have rights. Please, and this isn't me throwing an insult, but educate yourselves on this. Your rights are not granted by the government, your rights are only recognized, even if begrudgingly, by the government.

Had a conversation in passing with someone recently, and he was telling me how his buddy bought a 1996 F-250/F-350 (one of the two, can't recall). He told me his buddy was excited because he got a Power Stroke. Then he told me he said, "Nope, you got an IDI with a Banks turbo." I wasn't feeling like being "that guy," so I just let him go on. From 1988 through early 1994, Ford offered the 7.3 IDI diesel. From 1988-1992, it was naturally aspirated. Beginning in 1993, a factory turbocharger became available as an option. The factory turbo system was designed by ATS, but the factory-turbo 7.3 IDI was more than just a naturally aspirated engine with a turbo bolted on. It featured a lower compression ratio, piston oil squirters, revised injection pump calibration, different injectors, and turbo-specific intake and exhaust components. In the middle of the 1994 model year, Ford introduced the 7.3 Power Stroke. For a period during 1994, buyers could get either a 7.3 IDI or a 7.3 Power Stroke depending on when the truck was built. By 1995, the IDI was gone from the Ford lineup. If you bought a factory diesel F-Series in 1996, you were getting a 7.3 Power Stroke. The only way a 1996 truck would have an IDI is if someone swapped one in.

If her message resonates with you, you need to do some serious soul searching. @ElissaSlotkin is the actual "fascist" here. In a constitutional republic, the safest principle is that people should be investigated and prosecuted for specific alleged crimes supported by evidence, not because they worked for the "wrong" administration or hold the "wrong" political views. If the goal becomes frightening people away from lawful participation in government service, that's a dangerous precedent regardless of whether it's aimed at Trump supporters, Democrats, conservatives, liberals, or anyone else. Reject this - vote red across the board.

We're getting closer. Come on guys.

Obviously, I'm a fan of OBS Fords. I just kinda dig this pic I took last night.

I can't imagine typing out a post bitching about a car company building a car instead of solving all of the world's problems, thinking to myself "Yeah, that's it" and hitting post. That's like criticizing a hospital for not manufacturing tractors. If you don't want a Tesla, just don't buy one.

Listen, I'm going to keep reposting this until the goal is at least met. I know this goal can be met by the 2A and Veteran community here. Let's get it done.

Here's the issue - "However, Elon Musk has repeatedly stated—including as recently as October 14, 2026—that Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the U.S. government. Operational decisions such as speed or usage limits are made by the U.S. military and ultimately the President, not by SpaceX."

If you rely on, or expect musicians or other artists to cater to you fragile belief system, and have nothing but disdain for, say, Metallica, all of the sudden - you're just weak af. If it doesn't support your wrong think it's bad. Listen here. I do *not* want musicians' politics espoused. I will stop, and have stopped listening to certain artists because they decided to get political. Idgaf how you feel about the President. Keep it to yourself. Doesn't matter *which* President. I am there to enjoy the show, not be scolded or preached to about politics.

I mean...

Almost there guys. Come on.
