I did hear H Barbor last night on Fox say he is annoyed to hear the Dems are planning to make sure any reductions will be in the highest visability areas. For example, close all the National Parks but don’t get rid any of the dead wood in the bureauracy.
Just saw a picture of 5 nuke carriers in port together at one time. Kind of looks like Battleship Row in Pearl in 41. Probably his excellency decided that would cause a stir so he had them brought in or not deployed on time.
Face it, we have an aggatator as president, a three card monte dealer to boot.
That carrier picture is complete BS, it’s a once in a generation event cause by the convergence of:
USS Enterprise being retired
USS Theodore Roosevelt being brought back into service after midlife refueling
USS Abraham Lincoln, a Pacific Fleet carrier, being in Norfolk to begin midlife refueling.
Of the other two carriers, USS Bush just returned from a deployment while USS Eisenhower was just about to leave for one (she just left the other day).
But perception equals reality, right?
