bonginoreport--2020-09-26--Tucker Carlson Names Those Funding the Louisville Riots

Tucker Carlson broke the news Thursday evening that a rioter bail organization led by a “ pampered group of revolutionaries ” was responsible for bringing rioting supplies to downtown Louisville after the charges in the Breonna Taylor case were announced on Wednesday .
Sitting on the organization ’ s board is a former president at NBC and a finance CEO with Princeton University ties .
“ These are violent thugs obviously — many of them , by the way , have college degrees from expensive universities .
But in the end , they ’ re all just foot soldiers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ you don ’ t see on camera .
It takes legions , it takes money , and it takes organization to stage effective riots for three and a half months , ” Carlson stated .
In a viral video from Wednesday , rioters are seen unloading a truck of supplies such as Black Lives Matter and “ abolish the police ” signs , shields , water bottles , and more just minutes after the verdict was issued .
“ It ’ s worth asking who is funding all of this ?
That is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tried to answer it , ” Carlson said , as clips of people unloading the truck played .
This U-Haul , according to Carlson , was organized by Holly Zoller , a self-descrived “ Bail Disruptor ” for The Bail Project , which “ helps get suspected criminals and rioters back out on the street as quickly as they can.
” The organization ’ s board , Tucker explained , is filled with elites such as Michael Novogratz and Lisa Gersh , who have ties to Ivy League schools , the corporate media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He also noted that a first-term Democrat congressman also sits on the board .
“ Why are the most privileged people in our society , rich executives like Gersh and Novogratz , supporting an organization that bails people out of jail who are destroying our cities and attacking our police ?
” Carlson questioned .
According to Carlson , these board members who “ live far from the scenes of riots ” might have a greater economic stake in the game than just inciting violence and destruction in the name of racial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems are not racial .
America ’ s core problems are economic : a small group of people have a disproportionate amount of money .
Everyone else is getting poor .
For the majority of the population , the American Dream is dying , ” Tucker said .
“ But if you were on the right end of that equation , you wouldn ’ t want the public to think too much about this .
So maybe you had to fund racial conflict so they wouldn ’ t think about it .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ An earlier version of this article stated Carlson ’ s claim that a Democratic congressperson is on the board of The Bail Project .

bonginoreport--2020-09-26--CNN Tells Us We Have to Elect Biden Or Else There Will Be a Civil War

Tom Friedman , a veteran New York Times columnist , appeared on Thursday ’ s edition of Anderson Cooper 360 with one message : “ I 'm terrified to find myself ending my career as a journalist covering America 's potential second civil war in its history.
” This in response to President Trump ’ s comments questioning the integrity of mail-in voting .
Friedman further cried : “ The President of the United States has told us , ' I either win the election or delegitimize the election . '
” The leftist media has given a lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , initially made on Wednesday evening , over the past few days , even wildly suggesting the President could use the military to stay in office .
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany stated during Thursday ’ s press briefing that President Trump will accept the results of a “ fair and free election.
” This was not enough to satisfy Democratic-aligned media .
The incendiary rhetoric intensified with Friedman declaring : “ When you have a President without shame backed by a party without spine amplified by a network without integrity and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behind them are a lot of armed people , if you are n't frightened by this you are not paying attention.
” Cooper abandoned any pretense of journalism as he encouraged his guest , asking him how to stop this from occurring .
Friedman responded by begging for America to vote for Joe Biden , campaign for him , and to do anything they could to get him elected , “ … if Joe Biden wins the election you have nothing to worry about.
” The interview left not even a shadow of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on this especially with Friedman clearing stating he would vote for Joe Biden , whatever it takes .
These theories and declarations were not limited to Anderson Cooper ’ s show .
On Friday afternoon , during CNN Right Now , Brianna Keilar showed the clip of Friedman ’ s comments .
Her guest , anti-Trump author Tony Schwartz declared , “ I unequivocally share the same worry .
We are already in a civil war .
We have been in one for quite some time .
… the only question is , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it and rallies the supporters behind it , will that civil war turn even more violent than it has been already ?
” There were further “ warnings ” given when Schwartz launched into a vile tirade : “ Trump 's base includes domestic terrorists , people capable of doing very irrational things in the face of feeling thwarted.
” Partisan activists at CNN are the ones is a giving the country an ultimatum : elect Joe Biden or there will be a civil war in this country .
These CNN conspiracies were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the links to let them know what you think .
A transcript of the September 24 and September 25 coverage is included below : ANDERSON COOPER : We 're keeping an eye on the protests in Louisville stemming from the Breonna Taylor case .
This as President Trump continues to claim that the upcoming election wo n't be honest .
`` New York Times '' columnist Tom Friedman has covered world leaders who have tried to stay in power and author of `` Why we need a green revolution '' and joins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Reagan 's statement when he gave his first inaugural address and the first thing he addressed was the common place nature of the peaceful transfer of power and praised Jimmy Carter for making it so easy to facilitate that .
It is something that in this country is commonplace , but overseas where President 's dress up in fake military uniforms when they have their families running other branches of government , they do n't have peaceful transfers of power .
Were you surprised that the President said this ?
I mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 's stunning but not surprising .
TOM FRIEDMAN [ New York Times Columnist ] : I found it stunning and surprising , Anderson .
You know , I began my career as a journalist covering Lebanon 's second civil war and its history .
And I 'm terrified to find myself ending my career as a journalist covering America 's potential second civil war in its history .
COOPER : You really believe that ?
FRIEDMAN : I think what happened in the last few days is a six alarm fire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The President of the United States has told us I either win the election or delegitimize the election .
Those are your choices .
And he is basically trying to break people ’ s will .
He 's trying to get people to say , what the heck , he wants it so bad , just give it to him .
I think this is certainly is the most frightening moment in my life .
It 's frightening because of him .
It 's frightening because he 's backed by a state-owned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because the Republican party has become basically a political brothel that rents itself out by the night to whoever will energize its base .
Whether it was Sarah Palin and the Tea Party , now Trump .
This is a party that went into its convention with no platform , just basically said whatever Trump wants , we want .
And I -- if you 're not frightened now , if you are not terrified for what could happen , it 's not we might have a disputed election .
It is we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , almost certainly , unless Trump wins , in which case I shudder to think what four more years of this would be like .
COOPER : It does -- it is certainly a waving red flag to armed supporters of the president who feel aggrieved , who believe in conspiracy theories , who are showing up already to protests to , you know , guard garages and stuff .
It certainly puts them on notice that the President is up for the idea of not having a peaceful transfer of power .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ you simply can not count on not only the rules , but the norms .
What really governed the country , the words on paper are n't important , but we 're learning what is so much more important are the norms that people used to apply those words and that certain things were considered off the table .
And what Donald Trump did in the last two days , basically delegitimizing a legitimate form of voting with a virtually zero percent case of corruption , as your previous guests noted .
Used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Republicans , mail-in voting .
He 's delegitimizing that , because he thinks he 's going the lose .
And I think this is just the beginning .
This should be breaking news , banner headline on CNN , the New York Times , `` The Washington Post '' every day .
This is all we should be talking about .
I promise you on November 3rd and 4th , this is all we will be talking about , and by then , it could be too late .
COOPER : How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you 've seen ?
Again , I ca n't believe we 're having this conversation frankly .
Because I just ca n't believe it .
FRIEDMAN : I was -- before I came on , I was reading up about Belarus , this Russian satellite basically , where their President basically cooked the election .
He 's been in power 26 years , saying the country needs me now .
We 're in a terrible crisis .
And the State Department has made some mild protests .
But as a foreign correspondent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do .
You cover those kind of elections and then you call the State Department and you get some statement .
Hopefully a strong one that stands up for the principles of self-determination and free and fair elections .
That 's what I did all these years as a foreign correspondent .
Now you have to do it in your own country .
The people you want to call , the Justice Department , they 're not answering the phone .
They 're in on the joke .
Of course , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just think , you know , one of the most ridiculous statements made by any journalist was after Trump was elected , who excoriated the press for saying , oh , you silly reporters .
You took him literally , but his supporters only took him figuratively .
You never should have taken him literally .
That turns out to be the single stupidest statement anybody ever made because everything Trump has literally said he has done or tried to do .
This is a man you should definitely take at his literal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of shenanigans .
COOPER : That is the irony of Trump is that the only thing transparent about him is he does say all the stuff that is in his head that he wants to do .
He says it on Twitter .
He says it out loud .
People discounted .
They poo-poo it and say do n't take it literally but he does speak the quiet stuff people think out loud .
FRIEDMAN : When you have a President without shame backed by a party without spine amplified by a network @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conspiracy theories , behind them are a lot of armed people , if you are n't frightened by this you are not paying attention .
COOPER : So happens , what do you do ?
FRIEDMAN : There is only one thing to do .
Vote .
Go out and vote .
Vote for Joe Biden .
Raise money for Joe Biden .
Canvas for Joe Biden .
Register someone .
Help someone register to vote for Joe Biden and drive someone to the polls to vote for Joe Biden .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're not going to persuade the Republican party , I had a good laugh tonight when I saw that Lindsey Graham said do n't worry .
If we have -- if Joe Biden wins the election you have nothing to worry about .
We 'll abide by that .
The same guy who said if the Supreme Court situation that the Republicans rammed through before repeated again he would n't be for it .
There is only one tool we have .
It is a tool that can work .
That is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I will repeat I will walk to the polls .
I will crawl to the polls .
I will slither to the polls , bike to the polls , hike to the polls , but I will cast my vote for Joe Biden .
COOPER : Thank you very much .
Appreciate it .
CNN Right Now 09/25/20 1:15 AM ET BRIANNA KEILAR : The President is setting a dangerous precedent using a false pretension , repeatedly claimed if he loses it 's because the election is rigged , planted a seed of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the election happened and it is working .
KEILAR : I know you have spent a lot of time with him as you wrote `` The Art of the Deal . ''
You are more familiar than most with his impulses .
What do you think is causing him to escalate the rhetoric over the past couple of weeks ?
SCHWARTZ : Terror of losing .
Literally no more complex than that .
He never shows the terror but the terror shows up in his anger and outrageousness .
This is , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the number of lies that Trump has told over 4 years and so this idea that mail-in voting will be fraudulent , all of that is simply one more piece of deceit he hopes pushes people in his direction .
KEILAR : You hear that he has pushed his supporters very much in this direction and convincing them of this imaginary , widespread fraud .
SCHWARTZ : Yes .
You know , the one powerful thing that Trump does is repeat .
He rinses and he repeats .
And so , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if it 's outrageous and preposterous , he will say it so many times to people who want to believe everything he says , who do see him bizarrely but undeniably as a savior , this will -- this is what they want to hear .
They want to hear reassure me , the guy that just said a moment ago , it can only be a rigged election .
There 's no way Donald Trump can lose .
That 's demented .
That 's diluted .
Even with no preference for one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidate could win so that repetitive style really is effective , especially with his base .
KEILAR : I want to listen to something that veteran columnist Tom Friedman said sounding the alarm about the President 's actions .
TOM FRIEDMAN [ New York Times Colomnist ] : You know , I began my career as a journalist covering Lebanon 's second civil war in its history and terrified to myself ending my career as a journalist covering America 's potential second civil war in the history .
ANDERSON COOPER : You believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened in the last few days is a six-alarm fire .
I think it 's def-five .
The president of the united States has told us either I will win the election or delegitimatize the election .
Those are the choices , folks .
KEILAR : Do you agree with that ?
Do you think that 's hyperbolic ?
He feels it genuinely ?
Do you share the same worry ?
SCHWARTZ : I unequivocally share the same worry .
We are already in a civil war .
We have been in one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature of the polarization and we have two very , very divided sides and feel very , very strongly and the only question is if Trump loses and if he disputes it and rallies the supporters behind it will that civil war turn even more violent than it has been already ?
I do see as others have said , I do see the period between election day and inauguration of the next president as being an especially dangerous period because I do think that the -- that Trump 's base includes domestic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ irrational things in the face of feeling thwarted .

These theories and declarations were not limited to Anderson Cooper’s show. On Friday afternoon, during CNN Right Now, Brianna Keilar showed the clip of Friedman’s comments. Her guest, anti-Trump author Tony Schwartz declared, “I unequivocally share the same worry. We are already in a civil war. We have been in one for quite some time. … the only question is, if Trump loses and if he disputes it and rallies the supporters behind it, will that civil war turn even more violent than it has been already?”
There were further “warnings” given when Schwartz launched into a vile tirade: “Trump's base includes domestic terrorists, people capable of doing very irrational things in the face of feeling thwarted.”
Partisan activists at CNN are the ones is a giving the country an ultimatum: elect Joe Biden or there will be a civil war in this country.

Anderson Cooper 360
09/24/20
8:45 PM ET
ANDERSON COOPER: We're keeping an eye on the protests in Louisville stemming from the Breonna Taylor case. This as President Trump continues to claim that the upcoming election won't be honest. "New York Times" columnist Tom Friedman has covered world leaders who have tried to stay in power and author of "Why we need a green revolution" and joins me now. Tom, we played President Reagan's statement when he gave his first inaugural address and the first thing he addressed was the common place nature of the peaceful transfer of power and praised Jimmy Carter for making it so easy to facilitate that. It is something that in this country is commonplace, but overseas where President's dress up in fake military uniforms when they have their families running other branches of government, they don't have peaceful transfers of power. Were you surprised that the President said this? I mean, a lot of people said yes, it's stunning but not surprising.
TOM FRIEDMAN [New York Times Columnist]: I found it stunning and surprising, Anderson. You know, I began my career as a journalist covering Lebanon's second civil war and its history. And I'm terrified to find myself ending my career as a journalist covering America's potential second civil war in its history.
COOPER: You really believe that?
FRIEDMAN: I think what happened in the last few days is a six alarm fire. I think it's defcon five. The President of the United States has told us I either win the election or delegitimize the election. Those are your choices. And he is basically trying to break people’s will. He's trying to get people to say, what the heck, he wants it so bad, just give it to him. I think this is certainly is the most frightening moment in my life. It's frightening because of him. It's frightening because he's backed by a state-owned network. And it's terrifying, because the Republican party has become basically a political brothel that rents itself out by the night to whoever will energize its base. Whether it was Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, now Trump. This is a party that went into its convention with no platform, just basically said whatever Trump wants, we want. And I -- if you're not frightened now, if you are not terrified for what could happen, it's not we might have a disputed election. It is we are going to have a disputed election, almost certainly, unless Trump wins, in which case I shudder to think what four more years of this would be like.
COOPER: It does -- it is certainly a waving red flag to armed supporters of the president who feel aggrieved, who believe in conspiracy theories, who are showing up already to protests to, you know, guard garages and stuff. It certainly puts them on notice that the President is up for the idea of not having a peaceful transfer of power.
FRIEDMAN: Yeah. I think that you simply cannot count on not only the rules, but the norms. What really governed the country, the words on paper aren't important, but we're learning what is so much more important are the norms that people used to apply those words and that certain things were considered off the table. And what Donald Trump did in the last two days, basically delegitimizing a legitimate form of voting with a virtually zero percent case of corruption, as your previous guests noted. Used by Democrats and Republicans, electing Democrats and Republicans, mail-in voting. He's delegitimizing that, because he thinks he's going the lose. And I think this is just the beginning. This should be breaking news, banner headline on CNN, the New York Times, "The Washington Post" every day. This is all we should be talking about. I promise you on November 3rd and 4th, this is all we will be talking about, and by then, it could be too late.
COOPER: How does this play out in other countries that you've seen? Again, I can't believe we're having this conversation frankly. Because I just can't believe it.
FRIEDMAN: I was -- before I came on, I was reading up about Belarus, this Russian satellite basically, where their President basically cooked the election. He's been in power 26 years, saying the country needs me now. We're in a terrible crisis. And the State Department has made some mild protests. But as a foreign correspondent, that's sort of what you do. You cover those kind of elections and then you call the State Department and you get some statement. Hopefully a strong one that stands up for the principles of self-determination and free and fair elections. That's what I did all these years as a foreign correspondent. Now you have to do it in your own country. The people you want to call, the Justice Department, they're not answering the phone. They're in on the joke. Of course, it's not a joke at all. I just think, you know, one of the most ridiculous statements made by any journalist was after Trump was elected, who excoriated the press for saying, oh, you silly reporters. You took him literally, but his supporters only took him figuratively. You never should have taken him literally. That turns out to be the single stupidest statement anybody ever made because everything Trump has literally said he has done or tried to do. This is a man you should definitely take at his literal word when he talks about these kind of shenanigans.
COOPER: That is the irony of Trump is that the only thing transparent about him is he does say all the stuff that is in his head that he wants to do. He says it on Twitter. He says it out loud. People discounted. They poo-poo it and say don't take it literally but he does speak the quiet stuff people think out loud.
FRIEDMAN: When you have a President without shame backed by a party without spine amplified by a network without integrity and by social networks in conspiracy theories, behind them are a lot of armed people, if you aren't frightened by this you are not paying attention.
COOPER: So happens, what do you do?
FRIEDMAN: There is only one thing to do. Vote. Go out and vote. Vote for Joe Biden. Raise money for Joe Biden. Canvas for Joe Biden. Register someone. Help someone register to vote for Joe Biden and drive someone to the polls to vote for Joe Biden. This is all about power, Anderson. You're not going to persuade the Republican party, I had a good laugh tonight when I saw that Lindsey Graham said don't worry. If we have -- if Joe Biden wins the election you have nothing to worry about. We'll abide by that. The same guy who said if the Supreme Court situation that the Republicans rammed through before repeated again he wouldn't be for it. There is only one tool we have. It is a tool that can work. That is to overwhelmly vote. I have written and I will repeat I will walk to the polls. I will crawl to the polls. I will slither to the polls, bike to the polls, hike to the polls, but I will cast my vote for Joe Biden.
COOPER: Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
CNN Right Now

1:15 AM ET
BRIANNA KEILAR: The President is setting a dangerous precedent using a false pretension, repeatedly claimed if he loses it's because the election is rigged, planted a seed of doubt in supporters about the results before the election happened and it is working.
[…]
KEILAR: I know you have spent a lot of time with him as you wrote "The Art of the Deal." You are more familiar than most with his impulses. What do you think is causing him to escalate the rhetoric over the past couple of weeks?
SCHWARTZ: Terror of losing. Literally no more complex than that. He never shows the terror but the terror shows up in his anger and outrageousness. This is, you know -- we are in the 18,000 on the number of lies that Trump has told over 4 years and so this idea that mail-in voting will be fraudulent, all of that is simply one more piece of deceit he hopes pushes people in his direction.
KEILAR: You hear that he has pushed his supporters very much in this direction and convincing them of this imaginary, widespread fraud.
SCHWARTZ: Yes. You know, the one powerful thing that Trump does is repeat. He rinses and he repeats. And so, even if it's not true, even if it's outrageous and preposterous, he will say it so many times to people who want to believe everything he says, who do see him bizarrely but undeniably as a savior, this will -- this is what they want to hear. They want to hear reassure me, the guy that just said a moment ago, it can only be a rigged election. There's no way Donald Trump can lose. That's demented. That's diluted. Even with no preference for one candidate or another we know that either candidate could win so that repetitive style really is effective, especially with his base.
KEILAR: I want to listen to something that veteran columnist Tom Friedman said sounding the alarm about the President's actions.
TOM FRIEDMAN [New York Times Colomnist]: You know, I began my career as a journalist covering Lebanon's second civil war in its history and terrified to myself ending my career as a journalist covering America's potential second civil war in the history.
ANDERSON COOPER: You believe that?
FRIEDMAN: I believe what happened in the last few days is a six-alarm fire. I think it's def-five. The president of the united States has told us either I will win the election or delegitimatize the election. Those are the choices, folks.
KEILAR: Do you agree with that? Do you think that's hyperbolic? He feels it genuinely? Do you share the same worry?
SCHWARTZ: I unequivocally share the same worry. We are already in a civil war. We have been in one for quite sometime. That's the nature of the polarization and we have two very, very divided sides and feel very, very strongly and the only question is if Trump loses and if he disputes it and rallies the supporters behind it will that civil war turn even more violent than it has been already? I do see as others have said, I do see the period between election day and inauguration of the next president as being an especially dangerous period because I do think that the -- that Trump's base includes domestic terrorists, people capable of doing very irrational things in the face of feeling thwarted.

Palantir Technologies Inc. is expected to fetch a lofty valuation in its transition to a public company despite an unusually aggressive governance structure, in the latest sign of investors’ voracious appetite for new shares.
The data-mining-software specialist is eschewing the traditional IPO route and going public through a direct listing, in which a company floats its existing shares on a public exchange and lets the market determine the price. Ahead of a debut planned for Sept. 30, Palantir’s bankers have told investors the shares could start trading around $10 apiece, according to people familiar with the matter. That equates to a market valuation of nearly $22 billion on a fully diluted basis.


bonginoreport--2020-09-26--The Pentagon Eyes a 500-Ship Navy, a 35% Increase From Its Current Size

The numbers all come from an April draft of inputs to the Future Navy Force Study conducted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense .
While the number will likely have changed somewhat in final recommendations recently sent to Esper , the plans being discussed in April are notable as they reflect what will likely be major shift in the Navy ’ s future — and the expectation is that a larger-than-planned Navy based on the concepts laid out in the documents will remain intact in the final analysis .
“ One of the ways you get [ to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toward lightly manned [ ships ] , which over time can be unmanned , ” Esper said then .
“ We can go with lightly manned ships , get them out there .
You can build them so they ’ re optionally manned and then , depending on the scenario or the technology , at some point in time they can go unmanned.

The OSD-led review tasked three groups to provide their version of an ideal fleet construction for the year 2045 , one each by the Pentagon ’ s Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation office , the Joint Staff , the Navy and a group from the Hudson Institute .

Defense News did not have access to the Navy ’ s inputs into the FNFS .

“ We will build this fleet in such a way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today ’ s readiness needs , and does not create a hollow Navy in the process , ” Esper said .
“ To achieve this outcome , we must increase funding for shipbuilding and the readiness that sustains a larger force .
Doing this , and finding the money within the Navy budget and elsewhere to make it real , is something both the Navy leadership and I are committed to doing .
”

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s upcoming recommendation for a future Navy is expected to call for a significant increase in the number of ships, with officials discussing a fleet as large as 530 hulls, according to documents obtained by Defense News.
Supporting documents to the forthcoming Future Navy Force Study reviewed by Defense News show the Navy moving towards a lighter force with many more ships but fewer aircraft carriers and large surface combatants. Instead, the fleet would include more small surface combatants, unmanned ships and submarines and an expanded logistics force.
Two groups commissioned by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to design what a future Navy should look like suggested fleets of anywhere from 480 to 534 ships, when manned and unmanned platforms are accounted for — at least a 35 percent increase in fleet size from the current target of 355 manned ships by 2030.
The numbers all come from an April draft of inputs to the Future Navy Force Study conducted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. While the number will likely have changed somewhat in final recommendations recently sent to Esper, the plans being discussed in April are notable as they reflect what will likely be major shift in the Navy’s future — and the expectation is that a larger-than-planned Navy based on the concepts laid out in the documents will remain intact in the final analysis.
Esper himself hinted at that in comments last week. In a speech delivered at the think tank Rand, the secretary called for a Navy of “over 350 ships,” specifically by increasing the Navy’s shipbuilding funding account.
“In short, it will be a balanced force of over 350 ships — both manned and unmanned — and will be built in a relevant time frame and budget-informed manner,” he said.
Indeed, the fleet compositions presented in the inputs broadly reflect the concept of a lighter fleet more reliant on unmanned or lightly crewed vessels that Esper described to Defense News in a February interview.
“One of the ways you get [to a larger fleet] quickly is moving toward lightly manned [ships], which over time can be unmanned,” Esper said then. “We can go with lightly manned ships, get them out there. You can build them so they’re optionally manned and then, depending on the scenario or the technology, at some point in time they can go unmanned.”
The Future Naval Force Study, overseen by Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist, kicked off in January after Esper decided he wanted an outside take on the Navy’s self-review of its future force structure. The OSD-led review tasked three groups to provide their version of an ideal fleet construction for the year 2045, one each by the Pentagon’s Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation office, the Joint Staff, the Navy and a group from the Hudson Institute.
RELATED
Those fleets were war-gamed and the results were compiled into the Future Naval Force Study, which was briefed to Esper earlier this month. Ultimately, the Navy is using the feedback from the study to create their shipbuilding plan and fiscal 2022 budget request, the service said in a statement.
“The Future Naval Force Study is a collaborative OSD, Joint Staff and Department of the Navy effort to assess future naval force structure options and inform future naval force structure decisions and the 30-year shipbuilding plan,” said Navy spokesman Lt. Tim Pietrack. “Although COVID-19 has delayed some portions of the study, the effort remains on track to be complete in late 2020 and provide analytic insights in time to inform Program Budget Review 22.”
The April documents viewed by Defense News included notional fleets designed by CAPE and the Hudson Institute. Defense News did not have access to the Navy’s inputs into the FNFS. Neither fleet reviewed by Defense News, nor the fleet developed by the Navy, will be the final composition reflected in the FNFS. The numbers, however, provide a glimpse of the radically different future fleet likely to be reflected in the final analysis expected later this year.

Fewer carriers, more logistics
The fleets designed by the CAPE and Hudson teams agreed on the need to increase the number and diversity of ships while boosting vertical launch system capacity — while also holding the operations and sustainment cost of the fleet as steady as possible and avoid adding to the number of sailors required to operate it.
As of the April drafts, both the CAPE and Hudson Institute teams were supportive of shrinking the number of supercarriers to nine from the current 11, which would effectively give the country eight active carriers, with one carrier always in midlife overhaul and refueling. The Hudson study also called for investing in four light carriers.
The CAPE fleet called for between 80 and 90 large surface combatants, about the same level as today’s 89 cruisers and destroyers. Hudson looked to reduce the number slightly and instead fund more lightly manned corvettes, something Hudson has called for in the past.
The reports called for between 65 and 87 large unmanned surface vessels or optionally unmanned corvettes, which the Navy hopes will boost vertical launch system capacity to offset the loss over time of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and the four guided missile submarines.
Both fleets called for increased small surface combatants, with the CAPE study putting the upper limit at 70 ships. Hudson recommended a maximum of 56. The Navy’s 2016 Force Structure Assessment called for 52 small surface combatants.
Both fleets also favored a slight increase in attack submarines over the current 66-ship requirement but reflected a big boost in large unmanned submarines, anywhere between 40 and 60 total. The idea would be to get the Extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle to do monotonous surveillance missions or highly dangerous missions, freeing up the more complex manned platforms for other tasking.
On the amphibious side, both fleets reduced the overall number of traditional dock landing ships, such as the LPD-17, from the current 23 to between 15 and 19. As for the big-deck amphibious ships, CAPE favored holding at the current level of 10, while Hudson favored cutting to five, with the savings reinvested towards four light carriers.
The studies called for between 20 and 26 of the Marines' light amphibious warships, which they need for ferrying Marines and gear around islands in the Pacific.
Both fleets significantly expanded the logistics force, with big increases coming from smaller ships similar to offshore or oil platform support-type vessels. The fleets called for anywhere from 19 to 30 “future small logistics” ships. The CAPE and Hudon fleets increased the number of fleet oilers anywhere from 21 to 31, up from today’s 17.
The Marines and Navy have talked about the need to rethink logistics for a more distributed fight in the Pacific.
The Hudson fleet called for a significant boost to the command and support ship infrastructure from today’s 33 ships to 52 ships. CAPE called for the fleet to remain about the same. Those ships include dry cargo ships, the expeditionary fast transports, expeditionary transfer docks and expeditionary sea bases.
All told, the fleets posited between 316 and 358 “traditional” ships, but when new classes and unmanned ships were lumped in, the fleet designs contained upwards of 500 ships or more.
In his remarks last week, Esper said the Navy would need to increase shipbuilding budgets to accommodate the transformation of the fleet, but it was unclear where the money would be coming from.
The Pentagon sought $207 billion for the Navy in its fiscal 2021 budget request. Even a 2 percent shift under that top line would represent $4.14 billion in extra funding for shipbuilding — real money, even by Pentagon standards.
In his remarks, Esper said the forthcoming study “will serve as our guidepost as we decide on, program and build out future fleet and conduct follow-on assessment in select areas.”
“We will build this fleet in such a way that balances tomorrow’s challenges with today’s readiness needs, and does not create a hollow Navy in the process,” Esper said. “To achieve this outcome, we must increase funding for shipbuilding and the readiness that sustains a larger force. Doing this, and finding the money within the Navy budget and elsewhere to make it real, is something both the Navy leadership and I are committed to doing.”
David B. Larter was the naval warfare reporter for Defense News. Aaron Mehta was deputy editor and senior Pentagon correspondent for Defense News, covering policy, strategy and acquisition at the highest levels of the Defense Department and its international partners.

People are once again asking : Does Kamala Harris actually know who 2Pac is ?
During the NAACP 's virtual convention Friday , the vice presidential nominee was asked who she believed was the `` best rapper alive . ''
`` 2Pac , '' Harris said .
CNN commentator Angela Rye , who moderated the event , quickly corrected the California senator , reminding her Pac has been dead for over two decades .
`` He 's not alive !
You said , 'He lives on ... , ' Rye responded .
`` I keep doing that , '' Harris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ West Coast girls think 2Pac lives on .
I 'm with you , '' Rye added .
`` So 2Pac , keep going . ''
Harris then took a moment to think about the `` best rapper alive '' question , but ultimately could n't come up with an answer .
She did , however , shade some hip-hop artists who she believes need to `` stay in their lane . ''
Harris did n't mention any names ; however the latter part of her statement has led some to believe she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his presidential bid back in July .
`` There 's so many , '' she said .
`` There ’ s some I would not mention right now because they should stay in their lane ... Keep going .
Keep moving . ''
Naturally , Twitter users had a lot to say about Harris ' 2Pac answer , with many people accusing Harris of pandering .
This is n't the first time Harris has caught flak over 2Pac comments .
During a 2019 appearance on The Breakfast Club , Harris told the hosts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ college years .
She was then asked what kind of music she would listen to while getting high .
Her answer ?
`` Definitely Snoop Dogg , uh-huh .
2Pac for sure , '' she said , before naming Cardi B as one of her current favorite artists .
Social media users immediately pointed out that both Snoop and Pac made their debuts years after Harris had left college .
Her campaign , however , insisted Harris was not lying .
According to the New York Times , members of her campaign said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in response to a question by D.J .
Envy , who asked , `` What does Kamala Harris listen to ? ''
Envy 's question was somewhat hard to hear because Charlamagne tha God had immediately interjected with his own question about who she listened to while she smoked in college .

When you have a warrant signed by the judge , you are doing your job , and I would imagine that you would fire back.
” O ’ Neal also agreed with co-host Charles Barkley that “ lumping in ” the Taylor shooting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Ahmaud Arbery is not the proper way to look at Taylor ’ s case .
For his part , Barkley had a lot of criticism for those who support the defund the police movement .
“ Who are black people supposed to call , Ghost Busters , when we have crime in our neighborhood ?
We need to stop the defund or abolish the police crap , ” Barkley said .
Barkley also supported police reform to eliminate the “ bad ” cops .
“ We need to weed out the bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guys getting on television these politicians talking about ‘ defunding the police department , ' ” he said .
“ First of all , that would have a negative effect on the black communities — who the black people gon na call , Ghostbusters ?
Because they ’ re not gon na defund the police in the good white neighborhoods , so we need police reform .
”

As with his colleague Charles Barkley, TNT basketball commentator Shaquille O’Neal drew the ire of the left after he made comments supportive of the police in the Breonna Taylor case.
During his Thursday broadcast, O’Neal began his comments pointing out that the Louisville, Kentucky, police officers involved in the Breonna Taylor case could not be legally charged with “murder.”
O’Neal also seemed sympathetic with the police officers who fired back after being fired upon first by Taylor’s boyfriend,
“You have to get a warrant signed, and some states do allow no-knock warrants,” O’Neal said during the NBA ON TNT broadcast. “And everyone was asking for murder charges. When you talk about murder, you have to show intent. A homicide occurred, and we’re sorry a homicide occurred. When you have a warrant signed by the judge, you are doing your job, and I would imagine that you would fire back.”
O’Neal also agreed with co-host Charles Barkley that “lumping in” the Taylor shooting with other cases such as George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery is not the proper way to look at Taylor’s case.
For his part, Barkley had a lot of criticism for those who support the defund the police movement.
“Who are black people supposed to call, Ghost Busters, when we have crime in our neighborhood? We need to stop the defund or abolish the police crap,” Barkley said.
Barkley also supported police reform to eliminate the “bad” cops.
“We need to weed out the bad cops — you know I hear these guys getting on television these politicians talking about ‘defunding the police department,'” he said. “First of all, that would have a negative effect on the black communities — who the black people gonna call, Ghostbusters? Because they’re not gonna defund the police in the good white neighborhoods, so we need police reform.”

bonginoreport--2020-09-27--Kurt Schlichter: Democrats Take Aim at Amy Coney Barrett

Now that President Trump has picked Amy Coney Barrett for the SCOTUS seat , it ’ s time to get busy with our most important immediate task – rubbing liberals ’ noses in how we are going to install a hardcore conservative on the court to crush their hideous pinko dreams .
Soon we will switch into defending her from the hurricane of slander to come , but right now is a time when we need to reflect on the Fredocons ’ calls for unity and reaching out and hugging and rejecting those sissy losers ’ pathetic attempt to once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victory .
Amy Coney Barrett is the justice we deserve , and also the justice that the simps , Never Trumpers , and libs deserve – and they deserve her good and hard .
One thing the elite has never quite gotten a handle on with Trump is how he blends policy and showmanship – he ’ s the best political communicator since at least Ronald Reagan .
Picking the Notorious ACB is not just a policy triumph – she ’ s going to be great down the line , on guns , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – but her appointment is a powerful message to our alleged betters .
She ’ s not some Ivy League doofus mincing about Harvard Yard complaining about how the uppity gardener left grass clippings on the walkway that got on his deck shoes .
She ’ s a married believer from Indiana and is therefore staggeringly normal compared to the coastal elitists who think they rule us .
She ’ s young and bright and looks like she ’ s happy – which to our elite , mired in perpetual faux angst , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bunch of kids ( including one future icon who rocked a pale blue suit with an orange tie like a boss ) , which the frigid , barren feminists already hate but which normal people will think is kind of nice .
People who drive minivans will identify with her ; people who drive Volvos will Nadler themselves .
The message Trump is sending by appointing someone so different from the old ruling caste cast of characters is that he ’ s replacing the elite – those dour , bitter leftists who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how we peasants think and pray and live – with someone like those of us who don ’ t live in some blue enclave on the coast , eat kale , and loathe America .
Liberals realize that they must therefore destroy her , because she will not only block their extra-constitutional schemes but because she represents our slow yet steady progress in liberating our country and culture from the control of our failed elite .
So , how will they come at her ?
Look for procedural shenanigans to delay her vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have noticed that getting her confirmed is really important to the GOP base , and preventing the Republican Senate from doing it before November 3rd is vital to the Dems ’ dwindling election hopes .
Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham , himself in a tough race only because a lot of his natural base is still ticked at his past Lil ’ Maverick shenanigans , understands that if he futzes around with the hearings instead of revving them up on October 6th , the other side will push the confirmation past Election Day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republicans lose .
Burned by their evil Kavanaugh machinations , and knowing his literal and figurative seat is on the line , woke Lindsey Graham ( which is the best Lindsey Graham ) is almost certain to return and ruthlessly push this nominee through .
They will come at ACB on policy , starting with her unwillingness to agree that the penumbras and emanations within the Constitution somehow require us to declare open season on unborn kids .
Abortion is everything to these leftist weirdos , and that she will interpret the Constitution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threat to the leftist scheme to judicially remake America .
They will accuse her of not being down with Planned Parenthood , as well as wanting to allow us to speak freely , to worship freely , and to keep and bear arms freely .
When so accused , she should plead guilty as charged .
They certainly plan to attack her on healthcare , counting on the Democrat-owned teacher ’ s unions to have done such a garbage job teaching civics that the American people will not know that healthcare should not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the courts , except to the extent the courts enforce contracts .
What they ask her will make no sense , but the media will aid and abet the lies with such headlines as “ Racist Nominee Thinks Healthcare Is Unconstitutional Because She Likes Jesus.
” Whatever .
She needs to be ready for the dumbness .
There are already attacks on her family .
She has too many kids , the frosty harridans of the left insist , offended by her fertility and jealous that she has a husband who is attracted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mazie ( Your People Call Her “ Corn ” ) Hirono to take a break from her pioneering particle physics research to ask ACB , “ How can you have seven kids when global warming is a thing ?
” Other ghouls will question why she chose not to snuff her Down ’ s child .
And the fact she adopted two Haitian kids has already led to creepy speculation that she kidnapped these children to “ colonize ” them , or some such idiocy – I refuse to spend valuable time deciphering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the proper thing to do with Haitians is rip-off their relief cash , like the Clintons did .
Actually helping kids is racist or something .
As they attack her personally , her wholesome vibe will help .
If a “ She ran a sex gang !
” accusation drops , people will look at her and think the only crew she could possibly run with would be a pack of Irish folk dancers busting out with a reel from Riverdance .
And , of course , there will be manifestations of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under the surface within their caucus .
They can ’ t fully get their heads around the idea that people actually believe this Jesus stuff , and they are so stunningly ignorant that they think the term “ handmaid ” originated in that stupid novel that blows lonely sophomores ’ minds and not , you know , in the Bible .
The Dems will try not to make idiots of themselves and alienate voters with their prejudice , but they might not be able to help it – after all , her dogma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP , inside and out of government , should defend strongly religious belief , and Trump himself should take the opportunity to address black churchwomen – the one Democrat constituency that still actually believes in God – and invite them to join the party of Americans who don ’ t hold Christians and observant Jews in total contempt .
The left will try to leverage her faith in their inevitable tacky sex lie offensive .
We likely won ’ t get “ Amy Coney Barrett : The Epstein/Weinstein of Notre Dame.
” What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he scored with her at a dorm party when she was a freshman and had one Zima too many .
See , because she ’ s Christian , a claim that she had sex before marriage will freak out us squares , don ’ t you know ?
That ’ s because no Christian has ever had sex before marriage , as far as libs know .
Alternatively , as Dennis Miller opined , between bravura references to Joseph Wambaugh and the worst job in the Chinese royal court , that they will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past who will swear the incoming justice counseled her to abort her baby .
They expect we will believe it and recoil in horror , though Miller ’ s guest Mollie Hemingway shrewdly observed that that should make liberals like her .
Either way , I am perfectly happy for the GOP to corner the market on imperfect Christians , and I expect such cheesy lines of attack , based on what libs mistakenly imagine normal people believe , to be about as effective as such prior ploys as trying to make us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ score with Playboy Playmates .
We must fight back , and she will have to be feisty up there in front of that panel of Dem halfwits .
I totally hope ACB , when asked about the inevitable hook-up claim , responds with something along the lines of , “ Oh , I remember him , but we never did anything .
He couldn ’ t make it , you know , happen .
It was pretty embarrassing for both of us .
I hear he now writes for the Bulwark.
” She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the next month and we need to have her back .
Our GOP senators , led by Lindsey Graham , need to push this through and retaliate like rabid wolverines against the nonsense and lies of the Dems and their media serfs .
Amy Coney Barrett is everything we need , and everything the liberals hate .
She is a massive defeat for the left .
Let ’ s rub the libs ’ collective nose in it .
