Dems Plan To Scuttle Space Force.......
Free Beacon ^ | 9/23/2021 | Jack Beyer

Posted on 09/23/2021 7:32:29 PM PDT by caww

House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a measure in the 2022 defense budget to eliminate the Space Force.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D., Calif.) led a resolution, cosigned by fellow Democratic representatives Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Mark Pocan (Wis.), and Jésus García (Calif.), to "abolish" America's newest military branch. The measure received support from the Koch-funded National Taxpayers Union and radical anti-war groups such as Peace Action and Demand Progress.

The push to defund the Space Force comes as China increasingly threatens the United States. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall said Monday that China is developing means to bombard American targets from space.

China has launched satellites and a space station, threatening American dominance in space. Simulated war drills show that Beijing would likely exploit American vulnerabilities in space as a first move in a takeover of Taiwan.

Who cares? Space Farce must not be very important. If it was they would never fire valuable assets like Col. Lohmier. Not in a critical moment.

They fired him for being against Marxism and for saying he supports the US Constitution. Disband them I say.

Space Force sounded like a huge waste of taxpayer money going to dinosaurs like Boeing and Lockheed. Just let Elon give us good internet coverage over the planet and push the UN to declare space off limits to the war machines. I’d like to see a peace dividend instead of another arms race.

Surrendering Space to the Chinese.

Who controls Space, controls the planet.

Stupid move by the Democrats. They think they can persuade unreasonable nations with nothing more than diplomats.

There are military interests in space, and there nothing you
and I or the United Nations can do to stop it.

If you expect China to abide by anything the United Nations
comes up with, you need to rethink your position.

The high ground is the optimal position in battle, and space
will be left open like the world’s sea lanes, or we will
have to get China permission to leave the planet.

This is non-negotiable.

We are in the eye of the storm right now. There will
never be lasting peace.

Yeah, we all know that.

He is the figurehead even if that figurehead is empty as can
be.

There’s no one else to pin it on at this point.

We have our suspicions, but very little else.

I don’t think there is one person behind Biden. I think it’s
a group. Obama may be in the group. It would make sense.

Well it’s certainly Obama and his administration as is evidenced by who Biden appointed.....RIce, Powers and so many others directly and those indirectly like Jarrett...Emmanuel even , they’re all in this up to their necks.

I’m not guessing...there’s a trail they’re leaving from who was in the transition team and assisted in that...as well as before hand.

And let’s just mention why isn’t the media any longer fawning over Obama and his family? They were always in the news.

They won’t be successful at trying to Skuttle the Space Force.....but they’re sure looking for all areas they can get revenue from by closing them down or stealing.

Well it’s been said Russia already has an armed satellite. The race for Space is ongoing of course.

It was once also said ;Whoever controls the media controls the message...and here we are.

The Demorats built their media just as one would an empire....including marrying couples from various networks etc. both foreign and domestic.

The Dimmocommies need to disband the Space Force to free up the money to feed/house/educate and otherwise cultivate their new future D voters from Afghanistan, Haiti, S. America and every other turd world garbage dump in the world. Me, I’d much rather have the Space Force. At least that will develop into something a whole lot more valuable than more ignorant and illiterate useless mouths to feed.

Note that you cannot spell TALIBAN without T-L-A-I-B.
