On Friday, congressional Democrats will attend the Naval Academy in Annapolis to discuss how the Academy plans to deal with flooding forecast for the future.

Reps. Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD) and Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) Jr., the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, will converse with Vice Adm. Walter E. “Ted” Carter Jr., who runs the Academy.

The conference was triggered by an Army Corps study that estimated the water around Annapolis could rise as much as 3.8 feet by 2100.

For cryin' out loud. Instead of Naval warfare it's now Naval weatherfare? Hey cadets, as jojo biden might say, "One word. Water wings." Heck, they can float a aircraft carrier. Sure ain't my dad's Navy, my Navy or my daughter's Navy.

LOL.

What’s up with this? Now we want the Navy dealing with global warming???

And we’ve seen the military dealing with “transwhatever” people in the services.

What about focusing on the core mission of our military?

Considering what we graduate from public sc .... government indoctrination centers .... and considering the military is all volunteer ....

I'm afraid we're gonn'a have to accept that the incomings will acquiesce and be conditioned to think accordingly

We are not graduating Democrats or Republicans .... they are socialists by indoctrination and they don't even vote.

I say ... bring back the draft and let's get some truly pissed off men that want to get home right now ... THAT'LL shatter the ROE

A senior Naval admiral of Pacific force declared that Global Warming is the biggest threat in the Pacific. Not China. Not the Soviets. AGW.

Simple - Oboatacare. Force everyone to purchase a small boat and send the proof with their taxes. If your boat does not meet government standards, you get fined until you purchase a better boat. License and insurance for the craft must be purchased at oboatacare.com and all fees used to purchase boats for those who cannot afford one.
