Today is June 10th, 2026 and the A-10 is still in service.
Last week the OA-1K wasn’t a U-28 replacement… now the it’s an “exquisite” intel platform… that might shoot cruise missiles.
Reality: It’s less capable & more costly than current inventory. Wake up people!

AFSOC’s Skyraider Demos New Sensors, Gains Favor in Congress

Today is November 11 2026, and the A-10 is still in service.
Already pushing into 10% of the Fiscal year with 0% of a budget passed, but I guarantee you the Air Force is 100% moving out on “pre-decisional “ plans to retire the A-10 in accordance with their budget request.
It is illegal, but it won’t stop them unless the people who made the law hold them accountable.
We want the #BRRRRT Act! Demand accountability.

Why isn’t @FBIDirectorKash and @AGToddBlanche investigating?
BREAKING: Tim Burchett just TOOK THE GLOVES OFF and called out the person suspected to be behind the stalling of his bill to stop paying the Taliban. This is HUGE!!!
"We got a fellow over in the Senate who is a staffer, but he was a former, I believe, ambassador to Afghanistan, and his name is what?"
"Tom West. And apparently, our good friend, Tulsi Gabbard and the Trump administration denied him his security clearance because of his alleged cozy relationship with the Taliban. And so, I suspect that's what's going on in the Senate. That's why they are, they're stopping the bill."
If this is true, it's a BETRAYAL of epic proportions. He also said there are GOP Senators who are likely getting KICKBACKS from Afghanistan.
DEFUND THE TALIBAN, THEY CAN HATE US FOR FREE!
If this isn’t an admission of failure, please tell me what is.
Next they’ll try to load cruise missiles on it.
But no money to keep A-10s flying… we’re too expensive.

251 Years at the Tip of the Spear
For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.

Happy Birthday USMC! Semper Fi.
Meanwhile in the F-35 JPO, we're not just paying too much for aircraft and spare parts... they're so stealthy we can't remember where we put them.

Pentagon can’t track thousands of F-35 parts: GAO breakingdefense.com/2026/11/…
Apologies to @DaleStarkA10 if i'm jumping the shark here, but if you want to know more about the cause:

Real American Hero.
Working on a colab with the great @thewardoll to raise funds to build a bronze statue for a legendary A-10 pilot who was taken way too young.
100% profit will go to the statue, with third party verification.
@thewardoll even refused to take a dollar. Pretty cool for a Canadian, definitely give him a follow.
Anyhow, here’s a sneak peak, more to come shortly!
Today is November 9th 2026 and the A-10 is still in service.
Not to continue being the bad idea police but have you ever asked yourself why we have Cargo aircraft in the first place?
Better yet, why there are two tracks in pilot training - one for things with weapons and one for things without?
Stick to carrying the palettes instead of employing them. When DHL can’t do AMC’s job for them and ill-trained crews are ripping cruise missiles at the wrong place and time, you’ll wish you had.

The Senate has 55 days left to pass our Defund the Taliban bill. The No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act cleared the House nearly two years ago and has been stalled in the Senate ever since. Demand a vote before the bill dies. Call your Senators. I’m grateful for your support.
And now for a Sunday evening PSA...
As a Weapons Officer, DO, and Commander, I remember looking for the person with the creativity, knowledge, and experience I could trust to build our training scenarios. Tasking that person always came at the cost of their ability to prep for the mission itself, and usually took one of my best leaders out of the valuable execution phase of the exercise.
That’s why I developed CAS. We deliver Weapon School-level plans and products as a fixed-price document package, at a cost any unit can afford. That frees the people you trust—your NCOs and officers—to prepare, execute, and lead instead of building the package from scratch.

The only thing sweeter than watching the Packers win on Fox’s prime time game, is having Tom Brady have to call the game.

Some people are born protectors. Thank God for them.
JUST IN: The two officers who stopped yesterday's attack in Krakow, Senior Constables Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański, have been brought out of a medically induced coma. They are still in serious condition.
Kulik is a former paratrooper with Poland’s 18th Bielsko Airborne Battalion and longtime volunteer firefighter in his hometown of Bielsko-Biała.
He was shot three times while he confronted and stopped a gunman in Kraków’s Main Market Square.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk and others have hailed officers as true heroes who likely prevented a far greater loss of life.
