Has anyone noticed that everything that happens is "historic".

[@ayydubbx6076]

Repetitive messaging. Helps implant the agenda into people’s minds. In this example, climate change.

[@iGame3D]

Hot air provides less lift. Airplanes were grounded in Reno yesterday. According to media reports, 129 helicopters and 24 fixed-wing aircraft were lost in Iraq between the 2003 invasion and February 2009. Of these incidents, 46 have been attributed to hostile fire, such as anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles. That means 83 Helicopters CRASHED for other reasons. Either the pilots are incompetent or the leadership then sends them up in high temperatures is. Who you betting on?

[@BufordDuckworth]
