clashdaily--2020-02-23--Hey Bernie: Why Does Your ‘Democratic Socialism’ Look So Much Like Lenin’s Communism?

If he ’ s so quick to say he ’ s not a Communist , you ’ d expect to see some big differences between them , right ?
Even before AOC ’ s name had become mainstream , Left-wing sites were already popping corks on the rise of the Democratic Socialist party .
One writer for VOX , for example , gave a walk through of who they are and what they believe .
Spolier alert : they ’ re not ‘ just like Denmark ’ whose leader loudly denounces Bernie ’ s claim .
( As would the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ cradle-to-grave ’ government interventionism .
While speaking at Harvard ’ s Kennedy School of Government , the center-right Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said he was aware “ that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism.
” Trending : Illegals Show Up At Pelosi Speech… It Did NOT Go Well For Her “ Therefore , ” he said , “ I would like to make one thing clear .
Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy .
Denmark is a market economy.

But why bother when the unchallenged lie serves him so faithfully with the masses ?

Even now , for all the power it has had to steer the DNC into a ditch on the left , the average Joe doesn ’ t know a lot about them .
Here ’ s what someone FRIENDLY to their cause said about the movement… in Vox .
It is a movement , not a party .
They have an end game .
They are zealots .
And they have a very specific vision for what the future of the nation should look like .

Like most socialist organizations , DSA believes in the abolition of capitalism in favor of an economy run either by “ the workers ” or the state — though the exact specifics of “ abolishing capitalism ” are fiercely debated by socialists .
“ The academic debates about socialism ’ s ‘ meaning ’ are huge and arcane and rife with disagreements , but what all definitions have in common is either the elimination of the market or its strict containment , ” said Frances Fox Piven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the City University of New York and a former DSA board member .
In practice , that means DSA believes in ending the private ownership of a wide range of industries whose products are viewed as “ necessities , ” which they say should not be left to those seeking to turn a profit .
According to DSA ’ s current mission statement , the government should ensure all citizens receive adequate food , housing , health care , child care , and education .
DSA also believes that the government should “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ force owners to give workers control over them — to the greatest extent possible .
But DSA members also say that overthrowing capitalism must include the eradication of “ hierarchical systems ” that lie beyond the market as well .

When ‘Democratic Socialism’ crashed into the national conversation, it was pretty obscure. Even now, for all the power it has had to steer the DNC into a ditch on the left, the average Joe doesn’t know a lot about them.
Here’s what someone FRIENDLY to their cause said about the movement… in Vox.
It is a movement, not a party. They have an end game. They are zealots. And they have a very specific vision for what the future of the nation should look like.
Read this passage about their beliefs with what kind of an America this would create in mind.

“The academic debates about socialism’s ‘meaning’ are huge and arcane and rife with disagreements, but what all definitions have in common is either the elimination of the market or its strict containment,” said Frances Fox Piven, a scholar of the left at the City University of New York and a former DSA board member.

Abolish Capitalism. Paragraph one.
An Americanized version of the Bolshevik promise of ‘Peace. Land. Bread.’ in paragraph three.
A deliberate erasure or capture of every institution that keeps and transmits American culture from one generation to the next, using political action groups as the drivers of social change. Paragraphs four and five.
Some people have big dreams of revolution. These folks have specific plans on how to implement it… and they have some billionaire friends who would gladly watch America’s exceptionalism topple and fall.
Didn’t AOC’s first Chief-of-Staff accidentally admit that this was the real objective of their ‘Green New Deal’?
Chakrabarti let the cat out of the bag in a recent extensive profile in The Post magazine. According to the report, Chakrabarti told an aide for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D), a presidential candidate, that his boss’s Green New Deal “wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.” “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Chakrabarti says, “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.” You can’t get much more revolutionary than that. —ClashDaily
But DSA has made a deliberate choice to be a political movement, rather than a political party.
“I’d say that our chapters spend less than 10 percent of their time on electoral politics,” said DSA’s Abbott. “For 22 months of the two-year election cycle, we are almost entirely focused on non-electoral work.”
Insofar as DSA has done electoral work, it has traditionally been to pull the Democratic Party’s politicians toward its vision of social democracy. That was the original vision of its founder, the theorist and writer Michael Harrington, who saw “the Democratic Party as the only realistic vehicle for achieving political change.”
According to the same article, there are 3 main planks in their plan…
1) Build local activist groups to pressure change in policy both by pressuring officials and by engaging locals they believe can be drawn in to support either the group or a particular issue… essentially, convince them they have a grievance and turn them loose on whoever has allegedly aggrieved them.
2) Build a power center for Democratic Socialism that can influence primaries even when they don’t have hand-picked candidates of their own.
3) Supporting Union Organizers (In winning organizers, you could leverage the backing of manpower and money.)
Pelosi has learned the hard way that dismissing these people is dangerous. She’s gone from saying a glass of water could have won AOC’s election to pretty much stepping and fetching whatever the hard left demands.
It won’t be enough to defeat individual candidates. To block them from acieving their objectives, their ideas will need to be directly faced in the public square. A case will need to be made to a generation that never lived under the threat of a Cold War just why Socialism is a bad thing.
Here is something to chew on as you consider how seriously we will need to fight to face this threat.
One brief summary (from a pro-Western viewpoint) of Lenin’s revolution, goals and early consolidation of power. Note any parallels with Bernie and AOC:
At the time of the victory of the Russian Revolution in October 1917, Lenin’s views on socialism and how to build it were limited. He held that socialism was characterized by several principal features. These were public ownership of the means of production, an end to exploitation, and the dictatorship of the proletariat. …The new Soviet government was still organizing itself when it became clear that the issue of who controlled the state had not been resolved. The overthrown bourgeoisie and the rich landlords retained tremendous clout through control of crucial sectors of the economy. Within days of their overthrow, they began furiously organizing to regain their lost influence. Lenin pointed out that the political strength of the capitalists and large landlords would be decisively broken only by dismantling their economic power, and this was one of the Soviet government’s earliest goals. On October 26, 1917, the government decreed the abolition of private property in land to break the power of the large landowners. Over the next several months their massive estates were subdivided and the land turned over to the poor peasants. Food hoarded by the rich landlords was seized and distributed to the people. Next came the large capitalists. On January 18, 1918, all factories, mines and transport were declared government property, and over the following months many industries were nationalized. Workers’ councils were set up to oversee the factories and defend workers’ rights on the job. These initial steps helped weaken the bourgeoisie and consolidate the power of the Soviet government. By early 1918, the Soviet government’s hold on power was secure, at least temporarily. — Read more
Now remember that however vehemently he denounces the failed socialism of Venezuela, he still loves the ingredients that took Venezuela from being the economic dynamo of South America to a hopeless pit of despair crushed under the boot of a renegade ruler propped up by military forces in Russia and Cuba.
Bernie Sanders praised Venezuela on his government website as recently as 2011:
These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who’s the banana republic now?
He may now claim he doesn’t support *THAT* kind of system, but he still supports the fundamental changes they made that triggered the collapse.
Unless we like the idea of cooking stray animals over a trash fire, maybe we should think twice before adopting those ideas here.
The affinity between his allies and groups like Antifa suddenly makes a lot of sense if they look to him as the flag-bearer for their revolution.

Read what this ‘ medical professional ’ has to say about the moral virtue of ripping babies out of wombs like Assyrian armies of old and ask yourself whether Isaiah might have directed these same words to them : During a hearing in Nebraska , lawmakers decided whether to ban dismemberment abortions and dilation and evacuation ( D & E ) which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pregnancy when the baby can likely feel pain .

“ It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of abortion.

She mentioned treating a patient that needed a second-trimester abortion because of a medical illness , so that she could be there to care for her other children .
Another patient she treated that same day was 16 and hadn ’ t realized she was pregnant until after the first trimester because she had irregular periods .
“ It would go against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to offer the safest possible method of abortion to my patients in the second trimester , ” she said .

The prophet Isaiah wasn’t just waxing poetic when he gave that warning about those who called evil good and good evil. He would have railed against people in our day with the same voice.
Read what this ‘medical professional’ has to say about the moral virtue of ripping babies out of wombs like Assyrian armies of old and ask yourself whether Isaiah might have directed these same words to them:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! — Isaiah 5:20,21 NASB
During a hearing in Nebraska, lawmakers decided whether to ban dismemberment abortions and dilation and evacuation (D&E) which are performed in the latter part of pregnancy when the baby can likely feel pain. The bill in question is LB814.
Some abortionists tried to make the moral case for performing an abortion, while former Planned Parenthood workers who have come over to the pro-life position made the moral case to oppose them.
“This bill is not about patient safety or about helping a physician provide quality medical care to a patient,” she said. “It is a ban on a very safe method of abortion.”
If the bill became law, it would make it a crime for doctors to use their best medical judgment in treating their patients, Steinauer said. She mentioned treating a patient that needed a second-trimester abortion because of a medical illness, so that she could be there to care for her other children. Another patient she treated that same day was 16 and hadn’t realized she was pregnant until after the first trimester because she had irregular periods.

However, Dr. Kathi Aultman, a former Planned Parenthood abortionist who now is pro-life, disputed Steinauer’s claims.

Growing evidence indicates that unborn babies are capable of feeling intense pain by 20 weeks, if not before. This means unborn babies likely are suffering excruciating pain when they are aborted by dismemberment.

In taking the Working Class for granted as automatic Democrat voters , they turned their attention to their next battle… identitarian politics and turning one interest group against another , diffusing rage and discontent across various ethnic , gender , or sexual identity groups with an eye toward turning them into an army of activists .

In a related question, if the working class hates the Dems so much…
How do you think the working class feels about Trump’s administration and those economic figures, including the fact that the lower economic levels are seeing a bigger jump in growth than the top rungs of the ladder?

clashdaily--2020-02-24--Biden Drops Nelson Mandela’s Name In Crazy Story — Even NYT Calls Him Out For Lying

What ’ s Joe ’ s next yarn ?
Did Joe help the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk , too ?
It ’ s pretty bad when even the NYTimes is calling out a Democrat for lying to the public .
It would be bad enough if he told his story one time .
Then , at least , there ’ d be room to play the ‘ he screwed up a story ’ card .
Or even the ‘ he got confused ’ card .
But to tell this same lie three times.. ?
That was a choice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do with him watching his ‘ firewall ’ of support from black voters evaporate like dew in the morning sun ?
There are several problems with his claim… First , the testimony of the other party Joe referenced refutes it… Next , there is a geography problem .
There is a distance of 1400 kilometers ( roughly 840 miles ) between Sowoto and the prison in which Mandela was being held .
A parody account had a fun with the claim that Joe was dodging the press on this question : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real problems in this campaign .
By contrast , Trump has a Mandela story to his credit , but unlike Biden ’ s this is one that was told by the press back in the day , rather than by a cynical politician .
The LA Times noted that Mandela ’ s tour of the US ran into some logistical difficulties in getting transportation to their various stops on his itinerary .
Someone came to the rescue and bailed him out .
After feverish and failed negotiations with everyone from the U.S. government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefactor has turned out to be none other than Donald Trump .
Mandela and the approximately 80 people traveling with him arrived here Sunday in a Trump Shuttle 727 and will take the same plane on the rest of the tour , which ends in Los Angeles and Oakland late this week .
The Trump shuttle also carried Mandela from New York to Boston on Saturday .
Christine Dolan , who handled logistics for the trip , said that organizers , desperate to find a plane in time for Mandela ’ s arrival @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contacted Trump seeking to rent his private jet .
He responded that it was being serviced and unavailable but offered to release a 727 from his shuttle fleet , Dolan said .
The 1990 article took a jab about Trump not doing it for free — he ’ s a businessman , after all — but they themselves had already made the case that other parties — even the government — were unable to come up with solutions of any kind .
Back to Biden , why would he tell such a lie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that habitual lying took the wind out of Liz Warren ’ s sails ?
What could have possibly made him believe that it would help in out , or that nobody would discover such an obvious lie ?
After all , the only connection that comes to mind between Biden and Mandela is that his old boss , Barack something or other , embarrassed the nation and scandalized the world by taking selfies at a funeral .
Thanks for reminding us about that .

What’s Joe’s next yarn? Did Joe help the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, too?

But to tell this same lie three times..? That was a choice.
Do you think maybe it has something to do with him watching his ‘firewall’ of support from black voters evaporate like dew in the morning sun?
"Joe Biden has recounted a story — 3 times in 2 weeks — about being arrested on his way to see Nelson Mandela." "A check of available news accounts…turned up no references to an arrest." "Biden’s campaign did not respond to 5 efforts to seek comment"https://t.co/GzbUcSDHPh — Trump War Room – Text WOKE to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) February 21, 2020
There are several problems with his claim…
First, the testimony of the other party Joe referenced refutes it…
Joe Biden now bizarrely claims he was arrested with the UN ambassador trying to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa in the ‘70s. Except the ambassador at the time says "I was never arrested and I don’t think he was, either." https://t.co/YDWQcUqXIv — MediaResearchCenter (@theMRC) February 22, 2020
Next, there is a geography problem. There is a distance of 1400 kilometers (roughly 840 miles) between Sowoto and the prison in which Mandela was being held.
So Joe Biden was arrested in Soweto trying to see Nelson Mandela on Robben Island…1,400 kilometers away? ??? https://t.co/kJb5rpqiCL pic.twitter.com/pwT4DoYkav — Sanho Tree (@SanhoTree) February 22, 2020
A parody account had a fun with the claim that Joe was dodging the press on this question:
I’ll comment: I was there, sure as shit. Tied a kite to my suspenders, thirty days of travel. Landed right in front of Mandela, arm wrestled him. Ask anyone https://t.co/QePcfqsn4i — President Joe Biden (@biden4pres) February 21, 2020
The supposed ‘front-runner’ is having some real problems in this campaign.
By contrast, Trump has a Mandela story to his credit, but unlike Biden’s this is one that was told by the press back in the day, rather than by a cynical politician. The LA Times noted that Mandela’s tour of the US ran into some logistical difficulties in getting transportation to their various stops on his itinerary. Someone came to the rescue and bailed him out.
After feverish and failed negotiations with everyone from the U.S. government to private charter operators, the unlikely benefactor has turned out to be none other than Donald Trump. Mandela and the approximately 80 people traveling with him arrived here Sunday in a Trump Shuttle 727 and will take the same plane on the rest of the tour, which ends in Los Angeles and Oakland late this week. The Trump shuttle also carried Mandela from New York to Boston on Saturday. Christine Dolan, who handled logistics for the trip, said that organizers, desperate to find a plane in time for Mandela’s arrival in the United States last Wednesday, contacted Trump seeking to rent his private jet. He responded that it was being serviced and unavailable but offered to release a 727 from his shuttle fleet, Dolan said.
The 1990 article took a jab about Trump not doing it for free — he’s a businessman, after all — but they themselves had already made the case that other parties — even the government — were unable to come up with solutions of any kind.
Back to Biden, why would he tell such a lie?
Didn’t he figure out that habitual lying took the wind out of Liz Warren’s sails? What could have possibly made him believe that it would help in out, or that nobody would discover such an obvious lie?
After all, the only connection that comes to mind between Biden and Mandela is that his old boss, Barack something or other, embarrassed the nation and scandalized the world by taking selfies at a funeral.
Dems upset that @marcorubio said Obama has no class. It's classy to take a selfie during a funeral, right? pic.twitter.com/3bWEQBgEi5 — Itsallgood, man (@recoveringlibrl) July 23, 2015

clashdaily--2020-02-24--Watch: 9 Yr. Old Boy Asks Preachy Pete Advice On How To Come Out As Gay — Here’s Pete’s Response

The boy joined Buttigieg on the platform as his question was answered .
“ Would you help me telling the world that I ’ m gay , too ?
I want to be brave like you , ” was the question that 9-year old Zachary Ro asked Pete Buttigieg at a rally in Denver over the weekend .
As the boy made his way to the platform , the crowd chanted “ love is love.
” Buttigieg reflected on his own difficulty with coming out as gay and applauded the boy for his bravery in coming out in front of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t think you need a lot of advice from me on bravery .
You seem pretty strong .
To see you… It took me a long time to tell even my best friend that I was gay , let alone to go out there and tell the world , and to see you willing to come to terms with who you are in a room full of a thousand people , thousands of people you ’ ve never met , that ’ s really something .
So , let me tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be useful .
The first thing is that it won ’ t always be easy , but that ’ s okay , because you know who you are .
And that ’ s really important because when you know who you are , you have a center of gravity that can hold you together when all kinds of chaos is happening around you .
That ’ s the first thing I want you to know .
The second thing I want you to know is that you ’ ll never know who is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is watching you and deciding that they can be a little braver because you have been brave .
When I was trying to figure out who I was , I was afraid that who I was might mean that I could never make a difference , and what wound up happening instead , is that it ’ s a huge part of the difference that I make and I could never have seen that coming .
And you ’ ll never know whose life you might be affecting right now by standing here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of power in that .
And the last thing I want you to know is , even if I can ’ t promise that it ’ ll be easy , I can promise you that I ’ m gon na be rooting for you and I think there ’ s a whole bunch of people here who are going to be rooting for you , as well .
KDVR reporter Joe St. George spoke to Zachary after the rally .
The boy said , “ I just feel inspired by Pete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the same time and someday , I want to be like him.
” This has been labeled a “ powerful moment ” and lauded by both the left and even by some on the right .
I don ’ t know Zachary Ro , and he may be absolutely correct on his sexual orientation .
I just have problems with kids making definitive public statements on their sexual identity before they hit puberty .
It is just weird for any child to declare their sexual attraction to any type of person — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out means — let alone doing so in front of thousands of strangers and in front of cameras .
Zachary is just a 9-year old boy , and he was shaking up there on stage .
It just looked to me like one of those moments that the Media ( D ) would use to bludgeon social conservatives for their views on homosexuality .
The virtue-signaling left insists that the photo op is more important than any possible long-term ramifications .
This is the kind of thing that social conservatives are concerned about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about sexual identity before puberty even hits .
That ’ s not Zachary ’ s fault , it ’ s the fault of the culture that he ’ s growing up in .
Perhaps instead of holding Zachary aloft as an example to all , Buttigieg should have gone to him quietly after the event .
But then , that doesn ’ t grab the attention of the Partisan Press , does it ?

The boy joined Buttigieg on the platform as his question was answered.
“Would you help me telling the world that I’m gay, too? I want to be brave like you,” was the question that 9-year old Zachary Ro asked Pete Buttigieg at a rally in Denver over the weekend.

And that’s really important because when you know who you are, you have a center of gravity that can hold you together when all kinds of chaos is happening around you. That’s the first thing I want you to know.

When I was trying to figure out who I was, I was afraid that who I was might mean that I could never make a difference, and what wound up happening instead, is that it’s a huge part of the difference that I make and I could never have seen that coming. And you’ll never know whose life you might be affecting right now by standing here — right now. There’s a lot of power in that. And the last thing I want you to know is, even if I can’t promise that it’ll be easy, I can promise you that I’m gonna be rooting for you and I think there’s a whole bunch of people here who are going to be rooting for you, as well.

Arielle Scarcella is a very popular YouTube personality with a following of over 638K and she has had enough with the insanity that has hit the “ progressive ” left .

” Watch as this prominent YouTuber realizes that the left has gone completely insane : Her video was boosted in libertarian and conservative circles because of her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Scarcella says that her views have become more conservative and perhaps that ’ s true .
It ’ s also true that the “ progressive ” left is pushing things so far left that they ’ re leaving rational people behind — especially with LGBT issues .
Just a few years ago we were being lectured out of both sides of the mouth of the Obama administration about trans inclusivity , ( ie .

In a short video, Scarcella lists of the reasons and they seem quite… reasonable.
She rattles them off pretty quickly.
Scarcella says that she doesn’t think like the “woke cult” that has emerged on the left. She doesn’t believe that:
gender is a social construct
all cisgender, straight white men are evil
genital preferences are “transphobic”
there are 97 genders
male sex offenders belong in women’s prisons
people should be praised for walking around with shirts that say “kill terfs”
She explains how she’s been harassed by the “progressive” leftist activists for being a “bigot” without a hint of irony.
Scarcella says that she doesn’t want to include LGBT in her bio because people think that she’s part of the “woke cult.”
Watch as this prominent YouTuber realizes that the left has gone completely insane:
Her video was boosted in libertarian and conservative circles because of her appearance on Tim Pool’s podcast.

Just a few years ago we were being lectured out of both sides of the mouth of the Obama administration about trans inclusivity, (ie. “self-identification” was enough for trans schoolchildren, but not for transgender adults in the military,) but a scant 4 years later and some activists say that biological gender as a “social construct.”
The problem is with the “progressive” movement itself — it is unending and will inevitably eat its own. At some point, yesterday’s “victims” become today’s “oppressors” as we’ve seen with feminists and hardcore trans activists who insist that biological men are in fact women simply because they say that they are.
As Scarcella notes in her video, a lot of us saw this coming a long time ago.
It’s a very good thing that the left is being exposed as absolutely fanatical, insane, and censorious.

clashdaily--2020-02-24--Time For Defense Spending That Makes Sense

The United States remains at war , and we simply can not afford to lose .
“ Our brave troops have now been fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years , ” President Donald Trump recently put it in his State of the Union address .
There is no end in sight , which is why we need to deploy every possible tool we have .
Trump added that : “ We have spent more than $ 7 trillion in fighting wars in the Middle East.
” He didn ’ t mention it , but some weapon systems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to our victory .
They simply aren ’ t pulling their weight .
For example , across all those years , the Pentagon has been paying Lockheed Martin to develop and deploy the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter .
And yet the F-35 has remained sidelined , unable to contribute to our war efforts even though it is more expensive than any other weapon system ever dreamed up .
The F-35 costs around $ 100 million per plane , and yet those planes aren ’ t accomplishing anything .
By now the F-35 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Administration , was supposed to have replaced five other type of aircraft .
It was supposed to be a stealth fighter , invisible to radar and yet able to land on ships at sea .
It was supposed to have cannon that would allow it to perform close-air support for warriors on the ground .
It isn ’ t doing any of those things .
When the F-35 did , finally , fly its first combat mission ( in Afghanistan in 2018 ) the mission was a simple bombing run .
“ This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combat mission proves , ” Michael Peck wrote in the National Interest after that mission .
“ It can take off .
It can fly from its airbase to a designated location .
It can drop a bomb .
And that ’ s all , folks.
” As Peck points out , that F-35 was sent to destroy a pile of enemy weapons .
That ’ s the sort of mission Air Forces have been performing since the 1930s .
“ Using the world ’ s most expensive aircraft to kill a bunch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t seem like the best use of taxpayer money , ” adds Paul Szoldra .
“ That ’ s not to mention the fact this particular aircraft , with a range just over 1,000 miles , probably had to get aerial refueling on the way in and on the way out.
” Meanwhile , the costs of the F-35 program just keep mounting .
Lockheed just won a $ 1.9 billion contract to perform maintenance on the F-35 fleet .
That ’ s on top of the $ 34 billion the contractor will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The problems with the F-35 aren ’ t entirely Lockheed ’ s fault .
For example , the Pentagon decided to order new planes even as the first models were being tested .
This “ concurrent ” production and development meant that planes had to keep going back for repairs and retrofitting .
That partly explains the big maintenance contract .
However , the big sticker price is something the Pentagon can no longer afford .
Our military needs weapons that work and can be deployed , today , against our enemies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the failing F-35 program , the Pentagon is taking a sensible step by investing in an upgraded F-15 .
“ The Air Force is officially picking up its first new F-15 in nearly 20 years , ” reports Jared Keller .
That makes sense , because even though the Air Force hasn ’ t ordered any new F-15s since 2004 , it ’ s been using the plane throughout the Middle East to attack enemy positions , protect troops and project power .
The F-15 is an affordable option , and a proven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only makes sense .
“ In Afghanistan and Iraq , nearly 7,000 American heroes have given their lives .
More than 52,000 Americans have been badly wounded , ” Trump added in his address .
The U.S. has invested too much to lose these wars .
The F-35 isn ’ t helping us win , but an upgraded F-15 will .

The United States remains at war, and we simply cannot afford to lose.
“Our brave troops have now been fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years,” President Donald Trump recently put it in his State of the Union address. There is no end in sight, which is why we need to deploy every possible tool we have.
Trump added that: “We have spent more than $7 trillion in fighting wars in the Middle East.” He didn’t mention it, but some weapon systems are contributing to that expense without contributing to our victory. They simply aren’t pulling their weight.

When the F-35 did, finally, fly its first combat mission (in Afghanistan in 2018) the mission was a simple bombing run. “This is what the F-35’s first combat mission proves,” Michael Peck wrote in the National Interest after that mission. “It can take off. It can fly from its airbase to a designated location. It can drop a bomb. And that’s all, folks.”
As Peck points out, that F-35 was sent to destroy a pile of enemy weapons. That’s the sort of mission Air Forces have been performing since the 1930s. “Using the world’s most expensive aircraft to kill a bunch of guns on the ground doesn’t seem like the best use of taxpayer money,” adds Paul Szoldra. “That’s not to mention the fact this particular aircraft, with a range just over 1,000 miles, probably had to get aerial refueling on the way in and on the way out.”
Meanwhile, the costs of the F-35 program just keep mounting. Lockheed just won a $1.9 billion contract to perform maintenance on the F-35 fleet. That’s on top of the $34 billion the contractor will pocket to build almost 500 more F-35s.
The problems with the F-35 aren’t entirely Lockheed’s fault. For example, the Pentagon decided to order new planes even as the first models were being tested. This “concurrent” production and development meant that planes had to keep going back for repairs and retrofitting. That partly explains the big maintenance contract.
However, the big sticker price is something the Pentagon can no longer afford. Our military needs weapons that work and can be deployed, today, against our enemies. Instead of throwing more money at the failing F-35 program, the Pentagon is taking a sensible step by investing in an upgraded F-15. “The Air Force is officially picking up its first new F-15 in nearly 20 years,” reports Jared Keller.
That makes sense, because even though the Air Force hasn’t ordered any new F-15s since 2004, it’s been using the plane throughout the Middle East to attack enemy positions, protect troops and project power. The F-15 is an affordable option, and a proven military asset. Deploying a new version only makes sense.
“In Afghanistan and Iraq, nearly 7,000 American heroes have given their lives. More than 52,000 Americans have been badly wounded,” Trump added in his address. The U.S. has invested too much to lose these wars. The F-35 isn’t helping us win, but an upgraded F-15 will.


Disaster At Tenerife

In the Canary Islands , airport operations have been disrupted due to a massive sandstorm that originated in the Sahara Desert .
As a result , hundreds of travelers have been stranded .
But this situation pales in comparison to a collision between two commercial aircraft at Los Rodeos Airport ( now known as Tenerife North Airport ) on the island of Tenerife ( the largest of the Canary Islands ) on March 27 , 1977 .
The two-passenger planes which collided that day were KLM Flight 4805 ( coming from the Netherlands ) and Pam Am Flight 1736 ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in New York City ) .
Both planes were headed to Gran Canaria International Airport on the island of Gran Canaria .
However , due to a bomb being set off at Gran Canaria International Airport by the separatist group Canary Islands Independence Group ( and the separatists warning that a second bomb would be set off ) , both flights were diverted to Los Rodeos , which at the time was just a regional airport that could not easily accommodate both planes and all the other aircraft being diverted there .

The Pan Am plane was ready to do so , but access to the runway was blocked by the KLM plane and a refueling truck , and it took thirty-five minutes for the plane to be refueled .
A family of four who were passengers on the KLM flight had to be located after the passengers boarded the plane , which caused a further delay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had descended on the airport , creating a fog that reduced visibility .
As a result , neither passenger plane would be able to see each other , nor would they be seen from the control tower .
The KLM flight would be the first plane to taxi down the runway , and then it would make a 180-degree turn in order to get into takeoff position .

The two-passenger planes which collided that day were KLM Flight 4805 (coming from the Netherlands) and Pam Am Flight 1736 (coming from Los Angeles after a stop in New York City). Both planes were headed to Gran Canaria International Airport on the island of Gran Canaria. However, due to a bomb being set off at Gran Canaria International Airport by the separatist group Canary Islands Independence Group (and the separatists warning that a second bomb would be set off), both flights were diverted to Los Rodeos, which at the time was just a regional airport that could not easily accommodate both planes and all the other aircraft being diverted there.

To make matters worse, clouds had descended on the airport, creating a fog that reduced visibility. As a result, neither passenger plane would be able to see each other, nor would they be seen from the control tower.

Meanwhile, the Pam Am plane was taxiing down the runway as instructed and was attempting to exit the runway via the third taxiway.
