Littoral
Combat Ship Is a Floating Garbage Pile
Who
in the hell came up with the idea of these things?
After
16 years and billions of dollars, the Navy may have finally
acknowledged that its Littoral Combat Ship program looks
like a miserable failure.
Here's
a brief list of their deficiencies:
This
problems include: a concerning deficit in combat system elements
(namely radar systems), limited anti-ship missile self-defense
capabilities, and a lack of redundancies for vital systems necessary
to reduce the chance that “a single hit will result in loss of
propulsion, combat capability, and the ability to control damage and
restore system operation.”
“Neither
LCS variant is survivable in high-intensity combat,” according to
the DoD report. “Although the ships incorporate capabilities to
reduce their susceptibility to attack, testing of analogous
capabilities in other ship classes demonstrated that such
capabilities have limited effectiveness in high-intensity combat.”
Most
of them are unfit for service.
Veteran
Candidates to Score Big in 2018 Midterms?
Could
be the big "Wave" everybody seems to be talking about. And
it's not just Dems or Repubs.
One
particularly striking finding is that significant numbers of voters
on both sides of the spectrum (29% of Democrats and 32% of
Republicans) are willing to forgo party affiliation to cast a vote
for a veteran. And four out of five voters from both parties think
veterans have the “attitudes and maturity” needed in Congress.
The poll found veterans are viewed as mission-oriented coalition
builders who can work across the aisle.
And
here's something to ponder:
There
are more than 300 veterans running for Congress, according to Zeng.
With Honor is endorsing 19 candidates — eight Republicans,
including Crenshaw, and eleven Democrats — running for Congress
across the country. The candidates come from the four main branches
of the military and each signed a pledge to “lead with integrity,
civility, and courage, including the courage to meet with someone
from another party at least once each month and to sponsor
legislation with a member of another party at least once every year.”
Think
of that - more than 300 vets.

No
Wonder the Left Wants EPA Administrator Pruitt Fired
With
all the screams about his actions being sounded, one can only
speculate that he's doing exactly what the president and the American
people want him to do.
The
Daily Caller reported on the latest unsubstantiated allegations
lodged against Pruitt by the liberal media, this time in regard to
his efforts at dismantling and reducing the influence of the agency
he oversees, and to say the allegations are a bit ridiculous and
petty would be an understatement.

Papago Indians Don't
Want National Guard or Border Patrol on Their Land
The reservation is on
the border and considered to be on the DEA's High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Areas. A map of those areas can be found @
https://www.dea.gov/ops/hidta.shtml
The reservation is a
primary transshipment zone for methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and
marijuana destined for the United States, a DEA official revealed in
congressional testimony a few years ago. In 2015 Arizona led all four
Border Patrol sectors in drug seizures with 928,858 pounds of drugs
confiscated, according to agency figures.
I wrote about the tribe
(The Tohono O'odham) and their reservation in my novel, Sonora
Symphony, and understand their anger that the border splits
their ancestral territory in half. breaking up families. But I never
knew they were at war with the federal government over drugs - and
clearly illegals - being smuggled across the border through their
reservation.
The sovereignty of
tribal lands is all well and good. But, does it permit outright
flaunting of national security? And, if security is tightened
elsewhere, it stands to reason that even more smuggling will go
through the reservation if something isn't done to stop it.
Feds will close 74
refugee offices during the course of this year
How can they be
non-profit organizations when they receive $2,125 in federal dollars
for each refugee they resettle?
All of the
approximately 320 local offices provide new arrivals with housing and
social services including language training, job-search assistance,
school-enrollment assistance and help integrating into the community
during their first months in the United States. [They can never bring
themselves to say they are signing them up for welfare, medical care
and food stamps!—ed]
In practice,
virtually all resettlement offices also provide a variety of services
to other immigrant, minority, and vulnerable communities alongside
refugees, and assist refugees beyond the first months of
resettlement. [Yes, we know they are providing taxpayer-funded
services to illegal migrants too!—ed] They rely on private
donations for these programs. [No they don’t! Only small
amounts!—ed]
They will close 74
offices this year and stop the opening of 11 new ones.
Did you now that your
tax money is paying for the food, clothing, and housing? I wouldn't
mind if they were truly "refugees" but most are single,
adult males who should be spending their energies trying to rebuild
and/or reform their native countries.

"Republicans Don't Want Black Folks Voting"
Another gift that just
keeps on giving.
Partial transcript as
follows:
SHARPTON: Let me
ask you about voting rights. That was another thing the Obama-Biden
administration was heavy on under attorney general well as Lynch
going in with lawsuits against voter ID and doing in to deal with
voter suppression. They have said that foreigners are voting.
BIDEN: It’s a
lie. It’s a flat lie. The assertion the president made from the
beginning is a flat lie. Every study, every program -every commission
that looked at it said it’s simply not true. It’s part of the big
lie. You realize just in past year, in 24 states, the
administration’s allies have introduced 60 pieces of legislation,
or maybe 70 pieces of legislation, to curtail the franchise. It’s
what these guys are all about, man. These Republicans don’t want
working-class people voting. They don’t want black folks voting.
Look what we are doing now. There’s a movement. You have George
Will making the argument that felons should have their—after
serving their time—their right restored to vote. What is the one
thing we want people getting out of prison to do? We want them to
engage in society again. What’s the most significant thing you can
do to engage? Get in and vote. These guys, you’re talking about 1.5
million people who have served their time who are unable to vote. Of
those there are 30% or more that are African American. We should have
like other countries have, automatic registration. You turn 18, you
go to any government agency, Department of Motor Vehicle, get your
Social Security number clarified and you are automatically registered
to vote in your district. We should be be engaged. That’s the one
thing that keeps people focused on what’s going on in their
country. It’s totally crazy.
Pro Golfer Gets a
"Birdie" on a Par 3 Hole But Ends Up With a Double Bogey
You can't make stuff
like this up.
Professional golfer
Kelly Kraft did just that when he was was playing the par-3 14th hole
on Friday at the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South
Carolina. He hit a 7-iron toward the green, but his ball hit a bird
in midair and plopped into the water. Kraft went on to double bogey
the hole — and missed the cut by just one stroke.
He took it all in
stride and said he's looking forward to next week's tournament.
