I thought those were more entities made of cellulite.

It was way past time to try something new. Free trade is doing nothing but bankrupting us. Working or not working we have to change course.

I would stick with Gestapo Graham. Anyone with at least one brain cell still working can see the instant hypocrisy. Donald Trump is a nazi for deporting criminal illegals. We must elect a guy with a Nazi tattoo though and is violent with woman so we can take power and stop Trump. Anyone that has just a small amount of intelligence left will not hear that argument and fit that square peg in a round hole.

Hopefully we miss out on riots all together. If people just want to see some riot coverage though try an Irish or British media outlet. Belfast is blowing up.

As I said the other night. Do we really want to be sending American citizens in large numbers to a country that held American citizens hostage for well over a year in the late 70’s? All they would have to do is take any American sent to help rebuild Iran hostage and threaten to behead them unless Trump renegotiates any deal they sign to end this war. Iran could ask for wild crazy demands and Trump would have to agree and give them what they want or deal with the fallout here at home when Americans are killed brutally on camera for the world to see.

Is that likely to happen probably not. I’m not a murdering terrorist though and I thought about it which means they damn sure are capable of thinking of it. This regime is as bad as it ever has been since it has taken power in Iran. How could anyone ever trust they wouldn’t take hostages knowing they have done it in the past?

lol. And she is not even wearing a furry costume either. How can she be a Dem lol?

If I were running the Republican Party I would make this guy the National face of the Dems. Any state that has a high Jewish population I would run add about how Dems supports a real Nazi. I may lose but I would make Jewish voters support a nazi too by voting Democrat.

Lol. Taking sugar out of my diet would be harder than giving up any kind of vice you can think of imo. I’m about to try it pretty soon but I expect total failure lol.

Damn. Why not just buy a bag of sugar and it it and save money on the pineapple spears and the kool aid lol.

I bet she would be fun. You better hit and get though because she is crazy as a shithouse rat.

The United States is spending approx 2 billion a day in the Middle East right now. We have approx 50,000 service personnel in the region. We have a very large amount of land based aircraft in the region among a lot of other equipment. We have roughly 1/3 of our naval fleet in the region.

Our Super Carrier Fleet is one major accident or 1 major attack away from being a total mess. We have 1 Supercarrier in the Endo Pacific region right now the USS George Washington. The USS Nimitz is the oldest we have. She is about 51 or 52 years old. She is currently in the Caribbean. The Nimitz was on its way back to Virginia from the West Coast to be decommissioned. It’s so big it can’t go through the Panama Canal and has to go the long way around South America. I think they held it off from coming back to send Cuba a little message. It was in port in Jamaica the last I heard. The Carl Vinson is about to go out later this Summer sometime but was in San Diego undergoing minor maintenance to get ready to deploy. The Ronald Reagan is in its home port in Washington St undergoing repairs to it propellers. The Abe Lincoln and Bush are currently deployed to the Middle East. The Stennis is undergoing its midlife refueling and upgrade. It’s called RCOH. Refueling and Comprehensive Overhaul. It’s usually takes 3-4 years to complete RCOH. The Stennis started in 2021 and will not finish to later this year sometime due to COVID and the fact they found more damage than expected when they got started. The Harry Truman is awaiting RCOH right now. It was involved in an accident where it collided with another ship in the Med I think it was on its last deployment. They decided to wait and fix it during its RCOH period. The Ford just returned home off a record deployment. If the video I watched is correct though we are about to lose it for 2 years. It had a fire during Epic Fury and damaged that severely damaged some living quarters and displaced about 600 sailors. It also has to undergo replacement to its radar and the deck has to be redone so it can carry the F-35 or in particular the F35C. The dirty secret most people do not know is that out of 11 Aircraft carriers in our fleet our Navy has 3-4,Carriers capable of deploying the Navy’s best and most important plane. The JFK is the newest we have but is not done fitting out. The Navy does not even take possession of it till next March. It will replace the Nimitz. Even after the Navy get it it will be another 1 or more before it can be added to the fleet ready to fight.

I say all that to say this. Newport News shipyards is the only place a US Navy Nuclear powered Supercarrier can be born or refueled. Instead of wasting 2 billion a day on keeping the Navy and stressing the fleet in such a way on the hopes of cutting a deal that will be a hope and a prayer at best. Maybe we should just finish what we started and get it over with already and put that 2 billion a day towards build more infrastructure that can build and repair these ships faster in case we ever get into a major conflict with China. If you destroy Newport News then we would have a very hard time protecting the United States because we are so dependent on Aircraft carriers to project power.
