Congratulations to all on reaching Day 62 of the National Shutdown.

Nancy Pelosi is in a state of exultation over the House passage of her $3 trillion wish list.

But she misjudges the situation.

This is the high-water mark of the Democrat Party.

It is all downhill from here for them.

The pieces are all in place to remove them from power.

It will be Biblical, as Q said.

It may be messy, but it will happen.

And for America’s sake, it MUST happen.

I hope that you are correct and the sooner, the better. The CDC needs to ease the gateways and Guidelines for moving to the next phase. They can be interpreted by any governor who wants to in a way that will keep their state from opening. Then that governor will blame Trump though I do t think that blame will stick.

Agree 100 %. Class email list Jerks are still bashing the President. Bring on the Pain. I’ve had it! I couldn’t care less if they understand anything from this day forward...who cares what they think or believe..i want Fake President Obama to go to Gitmo and dealt with. And it wouldn’t hurt if the military stopped and picked up Bill and Melinda Gates before going to the air port. Please raid Valeries house in DC pronto! And if they should stop in Flordia pick up Debbie Whatshername too.

This video from the Italian Parliament , though in subtitles, is well worth the time. Bill Gates and his Gates foundation is truly frightening.

Won’t matter. What comes out of the Senate is what will become the law. They might throw in a nugget like they did with the Kennedy Center but nothing more. Twenty some democrats voted against it. It wasn’t the victory NP toots it to be. Of course those votes were with Nans permission cause the representatives were all in swing states. CREEPS.

No.

The US didn't remove its bombers from Guam because "the Chinese have a weapon that can wipe them all out."

This was a long-planned change in strategy.

"The transition to a 'dynamic force employment' model allows the bombers to operate from a 'broader array of overseas locations' with greater resilience, while keeping the aircraft permanently based in the U.S., AFGSC said."

"Dynamic deployments of task force-size groups of bombers will be more effective in the future... The 'dynamic force employment' concept allows for the Air Force and broader military to be 'strategically predictable and operationally unpredictable."

The Air Force announced April 17 it will no longer base strategic bombers outside of the continental United States, marking an end to the service’s 16-year continuous bomber presence at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

But before the last bomber left the island, USAF reminded the world of its combat power with an impressive “elephant walk” that included five B-52 strategic bombers, six KC-135 tankers, an MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter, an RQ-4 Global Hawk, and a U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton.

“U.S. strategic bombers will continue to operate in the Indo-Pacific, to include Guam, at the timing and tempo of our choosing,” said Air Force Global Strike Command in a statement. “We will maximize all opportunities to train alongside our allies and partners, to build interoperability, and bolster our collective ability to be operationally unpredictable.”

The transition to a “dynamic force employment” model allows the bombers to operate from a “broader array of overseas locations” with greater resilience, while keeping the aircraft permanently based in the U.S., AFGSC said.

The last deployment ended April 16, just three days after the elephant walk, as B-52s returned to Minot Air Force Base, N.D. The long-expected change comes as service leaders, including Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein and Air Force Global Strike Command boss Gen. Timothy Ray, have said dynamic deployments of task force-size groups of bombers will be more effective in the future.

“Yes, we are absolutely adjusting our presence in theater when it comes to bombers,” Goldfein said April 1.

In March 2019, B-1Bs returned to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, after a deployment to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. While a “task force” of B-52s deployed to the region shortly after, that mission was a short rotation in response to Iranian threats, not a regular deployment.

The “dynamic force employment” concept allows for the Air Force and broader military to be “strategically predictable, and operationally unpredictable” in sending the high-value assets to the Pacific, Goldfein said. The Air Force regularly sends similar “bomber task force” rotations to Europe.

US Strategic Command ✔

Our diverse bomber fleet – B-52, B-1 & B-2 – allows us to respond to global events anytime, anywhere. Whether they’re launched from Louisiana, Guam, or the U.K., long-range strategic bombers have and will remain a bedrock of our deterrence! #DynamicForceEmployment.

Ray, in September, said the service is looking to improve the readiness of the B-1B by practicing task force movements locally in advance of the Lancer deployment to the Pacific this year.

The Air Force has maintained the continuous bomber presence at the Guam base since 2004, with B-52s and B-1s rotating to provide a strategic deterrent and exercise across the Pacific area of operations. The B-52s from the 69th Bomb Squadron deployed to Andersen last fall for the CBP rotation, and the 20th Bomb Squadron from Barksdale AFB, La., had been expected to replace them.

Guess what they're not telling us?

ONE bomber can now do the damage of a full wing.

New weapons mean smaller units have exponentially greater firepower.

The Saudis train Yemeni special forces.

We're going back to an idea that the Germans invented 100 years ago.

I never understood why it was abandoned.

You create very small units that have every single weapon available: infantry, artillery, armor, airpower, and now SPACE power.

I think political leaders clung to the idea of wars of expansion or occupation or regime change.

The new war is to simply make the enemy stop fighting.

We aren't going to get involved in regime change or occupation or expansion.

What we need are small, lethal units.

We're going to have small, outrageously armed units all over the Pacific. If necessary, they'll obliterate a Chinese attempt at expansion by force.

But we won't invade China or Iran.

Ever.

This is why we don't need enormous fleets of bombers and tanks and endless brigades of soldiers.

It's now possible to fight major conflicts in total secrecy. Clandestine warfare is smart warfare. James Mattis resigned because he was old school.

Mattis wanted Pelosi and Schumer to tell him what to do.

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires the president to notify Congress of all military actions within 48 hours of them being taken.

Also, troops can't be committed for more than 60 days without a congressional Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).

So what happens when Congress is lawless and will do anything to destroy the president?

Well, the War Power Resolution is almost unconstitutional.

In the past, the president asked Congress to declare war, but there's no way we could trust today's politicians with that kind of power.

You've seen what Democrats have done during the pandemic.

Imagine the police states that would instantly pop up if Congress declared war.

Most presidents have ignored the War Powers Resolution, and I approve.

I'd much rather worry about ONE person than 435 members of Congress and 50 governors.

It's actually all moot, since whatever wars we fight are going to be over in a matter of hours.

Syria and Iraq are different, since they began under the old paradigm, and Bush and Obama screwed up everything nonstop.

The actor Sir Christopher Lee was one of the first British Special Air Service members.

He lived to be 93 but never spoke about what he did.

I have no problem with that.

During the Obama years, our special-operations units couldn't keep their mouths shut.

I'm hoping that after EVERYBODY is essentially special-operations forces, there won't be any need to flap gums.

It'll happen, I think.

END

Morning Lysie.
For some reason your breakfast pic is not showing up on my device but with your track record I’m sure it was a tasty repast.

Surprised? @realDonaldTrump approval at his Gallup ‘highest,’ better than Obama, Bush, HW Bush, Carter at this stage of the first term. Pollster @jmclghln says the 'anti-Trump' media has lost credibility in coverage of prez. https://washex.am/2TaMTyt
