The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

One time.... in band camp....

I got a call one morning that a panga was aground at red beach whose bluff has the grandstand and viewing platform the shillbilly defiled. I zipped on down, entered the base at the red beach/las pulgas gate, dropped it into 4x4 and eased down onto the sand.

A landing exercise was underway, hundreds of tents to the south to white beach where, on No Kings Day, Kegbreath's howitzers were idiotically lined up. I called CBP who told me to head up-coast.

The panga was, maybe, a half mile north.... between the company of marines and the San Onofre CBP checkpoint. Lifejackets strewn between the boat and the bluff suggests it was all migrants; not dope. Nobody got apprehended, nobody murdered.

In all the years I worked in that area I never saw anything fired in the direction of the highway. Not once. The base commandant feels like an ass for approving that stunt.
