LOL. I may have to take a break from here. The speculation is at DefCon5

and I think 80% of the threads are just so much hot air. Well, I was happy to share with everyone in the build up to and the final results of the election this year. It is a dream come true for many of us who registered years ago in hopes of doing whatever we needed to do whilst our country was run by fools.

We have succeeded in getting our country's stewardship back into capable hands, and I don't have the patience to sit through months of "what's he gonna do now?" type of posts. I may check in from time to time (esp. to LBN and Articles boards)

Have fun y'all!

1. Just so you know

DEFCON is a scale from 5 to 1 with 1 being the highest. I think that we got to DEFCON 2 while I was serving, and it was very scary.

The DEFense readiness CONdition (DEFCON) is a measure of the activation and readiness level of the United States Armed Forces. It describes progressive postures for use between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commanders of unified commands. DEFCONs are matched to the situations of military severity. Standard peacetime protocol is DEFCON 5, descending in increasingly severe situations. DEFCON 1 represents expectation of actual imminent attack, and is not known to have ever been declared.
