FWIW - We have about 1/4 of the US Strategic weapons home ported locally.

(EXCERPT)...
” Yet yesterday our 6-3 edge at the Supreme Court became a 5-4 loss in the most obvious, simple, clear-cut case in history. Again. Just like Obamacare (twice). Just like allowing illegal aliens to count in the U.S. Census that determines who represents us in Congress.
Yesterday, the Supremes voted 5-4 against Texas and A) in favor of the insane, radical, Marxist madmen of the Biden administration…B) in favor of open borders and against the Sovereignty of the United States of America…C) in favor of the intentional destruction of America…D) against States Rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution…and E) in favor of leaving the American people completely helpless to stop a mass invasion of our country.
Who could possibly vote against the interests of America and a secure border? Who could possibly vote against Texas and ignore States Rights? Who could rule that a state and its legal American citizens have no right to defend against a mass invasion of criminals? Who could possibly vote that as millions of military-age males from Hamas, Hezbollah, MS-13 and our mortal enemy China pour into our border, a state cannot even put up razor wire to try to slow the invasion down?
Two “conservatives” voted that way.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Amy Barrett was one of the recent Trump appointments, recommended to President Trump by the fantastic, pro-Constitution, Federalist Society.
How is this possible? There is not one conservative, or patriot in all of America who would have voted this way. So how do two supposedly “conservative” justices stab America in the back, and vote against States Rights, and for the destruction of America?
I’ll say it out loud.
It’s my opinion that we just found out who the bribed and/or blackmailed, rat-fink TRAITORS are. No normal, honest, pro-rule-of-law, pro-American judge on earth would vote this way. It’s not even possible. It’s unimaginable. It’s absurd. It’s insanity.
It’s like two conservative judges just voted for national suicide. “

Yeah, I can dig your “big stuff.” I used to help build it. But when I moved inland they wouldn’t let me bring one. And I’m heckuva disappointed in the current crowd of builders/overhaulers. By my count there are currently 17 fast attacks tied up dockside waiting for someone to change their oil. The guys I trained and left behind were holding their own but most are retired/dead. And it seems like DEI is degrading the work force. The current leaders are having trouble finding engineering grads who actually want to build stuff. Most want a desk, at home, with coffee service and a foot warmer.
And, oh, by the way: I helped put the last spare 16’s on the New Jersey quite some time ago. The sailors promised me they were going to wear them out on Charley. You’ll just have to suck it up and go with a Boomer.
In my neighborhood it’s good to stay on the road, drive slowly, and talk plainly.
Mighty nice of you all to share the other 3/4 of the big stuff with the rest of us, what with there being another ocean and all.
