monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

The F 35 is the basic answer to how you would go about creating $1 billion fighter plane which would lose a dog fight to an F 86 and possibly even to a P51. A better approach to providing our Air Force with planes might be to simply declare the United States to be a Christian nation (like Russia) and try to sign a deal allowing us to purchase Сухой aircraft.

P51 , F86?? really?

“Unfortunately, a few days ago a strange video of unknown provenance popped up on the internet with a wild misinterpretation of comments I made on the air in March. The topic of the particular segment — the video was selectively cut to include only my comments out of context — was the Russia election hack/information operation and a NYT story that described Obama administration members trying to get intelligence information on the Russian hack to Congress. I explained, in my role as an analyst, that I knew there were concerns in Washington about what the Russians did and whether the American public would find out what happened. I stated that I was worried that Congress wasn’t being briefed — according to normal procedures, which I know well from my 8 years as a Professional Staff Member with the Senate Armed Services Committee. I shared my concerns with both sides of the aisle about the need to get all the information the Obama administration had with regard to the Russian hacking of our elections and any potential complicity by Americans. I was out of government, I didn’t have any classified information, or any knowledge of ‘tapping’ or leaking or the NYT article before it came out. But I knew well from my time in government how the Russians operated and I could sense from media reports that the administration was concerned. I wanted to make sure that the standard procedure of White House briefing the Congress was taking place so that Congress knew everything the White House knew about what the Russians had done. At the end of the interview I did start a new thought ‘that’s why they leaked,’ but got cut off. If I’d had time I would have explained that leaking is illegal and I would never condone it, but it seems that the people who were leaking to the New York Times might have also been concerned that the legislative branch was being left in the dark.”

Based on the evidence, it seems highly unlikely that actions by the Russian government contributed in any decisive way to Trump’s win over Clinton.

Have you actually thought about this whole thing from a neutral perspective?

The Trump admin is being accused of conspiring with the Russians ti make Clinton lose the election. This is mostly based on surveillance of Russian communications and activity. The Trump administration is alleging that they were under illegal surveillance in an attempt to sink their campaign by leaking information.

F22 cant fly off a carrier qnd no thought was given to fixing that.

F35 problems are mostly software, thats evolutionary, and lightning strikes , thats real.

Note that is the Left who always thumb down people. They do it because they are unable to present real arguments to support their demented ideology.

Now, along comes Farkas... She may as well be someone like CI or Blatham that has nothing but hate in her heart because Trump won.

The bridge collapse in Atlanta from a raging fire illustrates the damage intense heat inflicts on concrete and steel, and the massive disruption that results when a vital transportation link is broken, experts said Friday.

Intense fire can damage both the concrete that serves as the road deck and the support piers for the bridge, as well as the steel that reinforces the concrete. Even if a bridge doesn’t collapse in a fire, the damage can leave concrete crumbling and the steel warped and weak.

“The heat can damage the concrete and cause the reinforcing steel to lose strength, and that can cause the bridge to fall down,” said Andy Herrmann, a past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a 40-year consulting engineer in New York City.

Concrete starts to crack at 500 degrees, suffers large cracks at 1,000 degrees and melts at 2,500 degrees, he said.

A 50-foot beam could expand 4 inches when heated to 1,000 degrees, he said. After cooling down, the beam loses 50% of its strength, he said. The weight of concrete loaded on top of the steel adds additional stress, which leads to failure and collapse, he said.

“The steel may begin to twist or warp,” Petrick said. “This was a large, high-temperature fire under the bridge, with its structural members directly exposed to the steel.”

Note that is the Left who always thumb down people.

There were nearly 900 hate incidents across the U.S. in the 10 days following the election, a report released last month by the Southern Poverty Law Center found. Those attacks include vandals drawing swastikas on a synagogue, schools, cars and driveways; an assailant beating a gay man while saying the “president says we can kill all you faggots now”; and children telling their black classmates to sit in the back of the school bus.

In nearly 40 percent of those incidents, the SPLC found, people explicitly invoked the president-elect’s name or his campaign slogans.

This was not the case with the Trump people, who tended to have billboard-sized signage in their yards and sometimes two stickers on their cars (TRUMP-PENCE on the left; HILLARY IS A CRIMINAL on the right).
