The US military is set to spend at least $1.7 trillion on nearly 2,500 F-35 fighter jets that have “costly maintenance issues” — and have a coin flip chance of completing their missions, according to a new government report released Thursday.

Hmm, what about the photos that show no tattoos. I guess shopped?

F35 Business Plan (maybe?):
1. Lowest Bidder (don’t waste time with lowest “qualified” bidder - I know a guy who knows a guy.)
2. Off-the-shelf parts for easier/cheaper replacements. May need to sole source the “stealthy stuff”. I have a brother-in-law...
2. China makes good, cheap semiconductors, don’t they?
3. Off-the-shelf software (recommend Windows - we can just create APIs for the special stuff.) Android as an option.
4. Reuse as much of Flight Simulator as possible to save money.
5. Pre-programmable take-off, landings, fight paths and dog fights.
6. Maybe manual operation for dog fights as an option.
6. Auto-eject or remote-eject (so the NPC’s won’t be afraid to fly in it.)
13. Wi-fi and bluetooth-enabled.
My late husband was flying a Hondajet. He was flying a “loaner” while waiting for the company’s to come off the assembly line. Almost every time he flew there were problems with the computer, from minor to serious, so he was essentially used as a test pilot without pay, but still legal to be flying after 65. He came home very upset Oct. 2021 because they were demanding he be vaccinated, and had him out on so many short hops, then put into a noisy hotel so little sleep that he went to bed exhausted. A couple days later I heard about and asked if the Hondjet with an STC that burst into flames on the tarmac had anything to do with his extreme upset. He was dead from a cardiac event a few hours later. Both of us being pilots, we avoided Airbus if we had an alternative.
A few minutes ago, I heard Kevin Zadai (live now- FB/YT) say that God told him to call the pilot who is a friend. He was hesitant, but did. The pilot credited God with saving his life. Kevin said they regularly prayed over the pilot.

Okay, sorry for the delay.
Data and observations:
Number 8 great-grandchild
Fine healthy boy born at 0430 Mountain time 9/21/2023, 6lb 12oz, 20inches long.
New Mom and child both in splendid condition. (New Dad is reported to be doing well also.) Expect to be released and on their way home by tomorrow morning, per my sources (aka Grandma).
Personal notes
After the number of births we've already had, I've finally got my role in all this down to:
Await the summons from Grandma/the New Mom to come view our newest from my designated soft chair by the fireplace. (That's so I can read to/with other cousins in the area, briefly hold/bond with the new kid and take occasional naps as required.)
Just got another reason to make certain I leave a better place for them to grow/live than I was blessed with.
Thank you for your posts Lone Palm! I look forward to them.
“ongoing wave of closings of public bus companies.”
This is what happens when you force people to rely exclusively on public transportation. Once things break and people can’t get to work no money comes into state coffers, people do not pay their debts, and the economy starts to spiral downward. They need to fix it quickly.
From my email inbox today. There has been no Lahaina 2 video, I surmise there may have been some legal issues, as the first Lahaina video had a National Guard member calling Maui cops “a**holes”.

O’Keefe, Cochran & Meads Team Up with Private Citizen After FBI Raid
James O’Keefe, Eric Cochran, Spencer Meads, journalists raided by FBi are teaming up with Private Citizen
Dear Subscribers,
James O’Keefe, Eric Cochran, Spencer Meads, the three former Project Veritas journalists raided by the FBI regarding the Ashley Biden diary announce they are teaming up with the nonprofit legal defense fund, Private Citizen.
This comes on the heels of Project Veritas announcing it is no longer indemnifying the three journalists. Private Citizen needs to raise money to pay our legal defense bills with the FBI raid, since Project Veritas spent the millions and millions of dollars O’Keefe raised.
On November 2021, FBI conducted pre-dawn raids on myself and my colleagues, Eric Cochran and Spencer Meads, seizing cell phones, journalistic notes, and other devices. This was all reportedly over an investigation we were doing into the Ashley Biden diary, a story we never published.
We obtained video from one of the raids on Eric Cochran who said, “I woke up at 6 AM to banging on my door and the first thing I did was grab my undercover camera and opened the door. There was the FBI.”
Spencer was raided in NYC, “I got a knock on my door. They broke my door to gain entry.”
James O’Keefe was also raided and said, “On Saturday, November 5th at 6 AM they [FBI] banged on my door in Mamaroneck [NY]. I opened my door and there appeared to be a dozen agents who went through my things.”
A few months later in March 2022, we discovered the US government had issued secret warrants getting access to our emails, secretly reading our emails, concealing that from the court in our case against the SDNY.
They asked Microsoft, Uber, and Google for information about us as journalists including emails between us and our attorneys. These secret warrants were stamped by various magistrate judges and a Microsoft whistleblower brought that to our attention.
The Department of Justice even sought and obtained numerous secrecy orders that prevented Microsoft from disclosing the surveillance to anyone. The SDNY also went around Judge Torres and the Special Master and obtained two secrecy orders after the Special Master had been appointed. The Deptartment of Justice attempted to gag Microsoft from even talking about the secret warrants even after we were raided by the FBI.
The overstepping by the government and Department of Justice was so egregious in its violation of our journalistic rights, that even the ACLU deplored the government’s violations of our press freedom. The ACLU and reporters committee for Freedom of the Press had requested the affidavit to be unsealed in our case so we can see the probable cause the government used to seize our journalistic notes.
In society, the American people should have a right to see the probable cause when the government takes such an extreme action to violate those first amendment privileges.
A whistleblower would later come out at the FBI referred to us as News Media in their computer systems. Our case was labeled SIM News Media. SIM means “Sensitive Investigative Matter.” This basically affords the subject of the investigation with certain protections internally. “Because it’s sensitive, it could be a political figure, it could be someone in a church, or a religious figure, it could be a news media organization.”
When James O’Keefe was removed as the leader of Project Veritas in February, there were millions of dollars that were raised to help defend these journalists legal defense funds, indemnifying them from these attacks by the government against their first amendment rights. Since February, all that money has been spent by Project Veritas, and they have announced they will no longer be indemnifying or helping us with our legal defense needs.
But there’s another 501c3 called Private Citizen, which will help fund these journalists legal battle against government overreach. It’s a registered tax deductible 501c3 with board members that James O’Keefe trusts and they are now funding our legal defense.
Support the right
s of journalists because without the First Amendment, freedom is just an illusion.
Thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we will continue to expose the uncomfortable truths that others would prefer to keep hidden.
