Looooooooooong time reader, about from the beginning (2001-2002ish).
Army veteran retired after 20, (Kosovo, OIF x2, OEF x1).Husband and Father. Probably best described as a New Deal Democrat, Pro-Choice (not that women need my input), Pro LGBTQIA+ (my sister was Trans).
We have a country to save from the 'Christian' Fascists. Let's Roll.

USCG military brat here. Daddy, who passed away five years ago yesterday, retired as a Captain with thirty three years. Lots of military here.
I host NC and Loners. I'm a farmer. I have a dog.
If I can help anyone in anyway, I try my best. That includes you, dear noob. 😉🤓
Enjoy!
