The title of this piece is intentionally inflammatory, but the real news to me is that three people signed off on the Butler security plans. So all three should be fired for incompetence.

If the FBI was out to get Trump, why wouldn't there be a few USSS agents with similar viewpoints?

Like we didn't recognize this would be happening, given Biden's lack of ability: 

BREAKING: BIDEN AUTOPEN SCANDAL: NY Times Confirms Biden Did Not Sign Off on All Pardons – WH Chief of Staff Zeints Approved Fauci’s Pardon

I'm sure they are just reporting it so they can sweep it under the rug and ignore all future comments of impropriety from the Democrats and Deep Staters.

Good can we prosecute Fauci now?

How many investigations promises of action over the last 2 decades and not one single person gets even charged let alone goes to jail?

One of the reason I like (R) even less than the (D)s in some respects.

Say that in Russian. Russian shipbuilding has never been very good. 

Note that our main adversary globally is China. The US and Israel are not going to let Iran even re-emerge as a major regional power. (Unless the Ayatollahs are overthrown and a better government is put in place)

China is trying desperately to get into carrier operations. They've got a large learning curve in front of them for that. They also don't have a history of blue water operations. That also has a learning curve. We have over a century of experience in both.

More winning!

Supreme Court rules on Education Department cutting half its staff

The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Education Department to fire half of its workforce on Monday, a move that advances President Donald Trump's plans to dismantle the department.

The high court's decision in McMahon v. State of New York was issued 6-3 along ideological lines.

China is working on it, and from what I have read, their carrier is not having the same problems as Kuznetsov.

Some are quite large for submarines.

Oh, they are making rapid progress no doubt.

It's hard to parse the stuff coming out of China. My LinkedIn is crammed with "tech breakthrough" out of China but most of them just don't pass a smell test. Most of it looks like propaganda to make China look good, and to make others question there own progress.

There are a lot of sites in my phone news feed that seem to be CCP propaganda, agreed. It will take them a while to build up a carrier force, but they'll do better than Russia did.

And all the sites claiming some revolutionary engine has been developed that runs on moonbeams or something.

I think I need to go develop an engine that runs on stupidity. We seem to have an unlimited supply of that.

A while ago, I got a job offer from Linkedin for remote video software work (something I have done extensively). The profile picture for the woman supposedly looking for workers looked like it could have been an invitation picture for OnlyFans. Looked up info, and she had Russian or Eastern European name, and the company was in Belarus. I did not respond.
