Where is the F-35 made? I asked because it seemed like the fact that Linda McMahon was photographed sitting in the cockpit of an F-35 somehow equated to Lockheed-Martin being considered a "small" business. (BTW, Marillyn Hewson was an early, and continues to be, staunch supporter of President Trump and his economic strategy re: making America great again. I find it interesting, considering recent news, that Harley-Davidson didn't seem to be represented at the WH yesterday...). Back to the question: Energy Sec. Rick Perry is pictured above holding a Beck Cowboy Boot (made in Amarillo, Texas). If he turned that boot over, would crude oil pour out?  The event yesterday was to showcase products (and, by extension, the producers) that are Made In America.  (Message edited by fb1 on July 24, 2018) | ||

I'm betting there is a FBI taskforce investigating felony leaks. Very, very quietly.
Source, more: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-je ff-sessions-delivers-remarks-briefing-leaks-classi fied-materials ^ Note the date of this release. I read online laments, every day, that AG Sessions isn't doing anything. The evidence to support this line of thought? "Well, I don't see him doing anything!" Hmmmmm, maybe that's the idea. I suspect Sessions, and Huber, have been VERY busy... | ||

The F-35 is assembled in lockheed martins forth worth plant. As mentioned, many contractors around the country produce parts(other countries as well) and they all come together in fort worth. The f-35 pictured is most definitely a wooden mock up. They would not tote around a full up version for show and tell unless for a dog and pony at a facility or base where they are stationed or at an air show where it could be flown in. I've been working on them for a while, pretty neat airplane. | ||

I dunno...it's the *White House*. They may have a real one there. As to the leak-fighting, these releases fail to mention the threat to the OTHER nations whose conversations are being disclosed. It's bad enough to put our security at risk for a political / petty agenda, but risking pissing off some OTHER country? That's just flat stupid. I know. Think of who's doing it. But...it's still stupid, and depending who the "other" nation is, it's a good way to get dead. | ||

Speaking of leaks... It just has no end. https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/24/politics/michael-co hen-donald-trump-tape/index.html How is this not covered by attorney/client privilege? This is continuing to be nothing but a group of people with great power, using their power to smear a President they dislike. It really is disgusting. | ||

I’ll have to take your word for it Tom. I’m not giving them one click. | ||

Good for you Jeff. I felt dirty posting the link, but felt obligated for context. BTW it has to do with the tape made by Trump's lawyer discussing paying off the sex film star that was extorting him. I'd be happy if folks don't click! | ||

^: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1022097 879253635072 I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad! Brace for impact. | ||

You keep using that word...I do not think it means what you think it means... That Dow chart looks like my 401k chart from election day! NOICE!! | ||

President Trump, as off putting as he can be sometimes, gets the important things done! Major kudo's for President Trump! This isn't done but it was a big win for the President and for America. This will do nothing but help him put the hammer to China. Fingers are crossed for continued success. Great job, President Trump! This will continue to bring people to the table, anxious to get a deal done. | ||

That Dow chart looks like my 401k chart from election day! NOICE!! Highest close for the Dow in five months, if I've got my facts straight. Friday we find out Q2's GDP (again, if I've got my facts straight). What might a 4+ do to the markets? Not my words:

I feel pretty good. I'm still nervous about the useful idiots voting Socialist though, because they don't know any better. Hopefully people are smarter than I give them credit for, and they realize how their checkbooks are doing, and their 401s...and they realize WHY it's happening. But...we'll see. | ||

Yeah, I hear you. But, consider what happened in the 2010 mid-terms. Only two years into 0's first term and already - in SPITE of the Deep Media - Americans had figured out that he and the party he front-manned for was complete and utter bullshit. 2010 was a major shellacking for the Dems, and their fortunes have dwindled come every election time since (2012 doesn't count - Sen. NoName, chosen to represent conservative patriotism? Puke.) Nothing has changed since 2010 to breathe life back into the D plantation. They, as a political party, are deep into death rattle stage; the end draws nigh. President Trump has IGNITED this country, and hasn't even finished his second year in office! Consider what he could do without all the professional hyenas - D's, plenty of R's (sadly), and the FRIKKIN' DEEP MEDIA CABAL - constantly nipping at his heels. And yet, in spite of the most withering, unwarranted assault on any president in modern times, he's got our country on the boil. Heck, we've got more job openings now than people to fill those jobs! There is NO reason for the majority of American voters, come November, to check anything other than the "More, please!" box on their respective ballots. Yep, there are plenty of useful idiots out there - CNN and MSNBC have built their entire business models around such folk - but Americans, as a whole, are a savvy bunch, and it's readily apparent that we've been lied to, and fiscally raped, by our political "leaders" for decades. President Trump - like his style or not (he fights like a Democrat; yes!) - has been a man of his word and has checked off his campaign promises list at a staggering rate. And we, the people, are the benefactors. November is gonna be a blowout, not even close. In fact, November *might* actually spell the end of the Democrat party. MAGA | ||

I agree the Democrat party is on its deathbed. I fully expect to have Republicans...and Socialists. However. I worry about the 2 coasts and Chicago, and the population density issue. I live and work in Maryland, an hour from DC and an hour from Baltimore. Working with the public in this area, I see a vast majority who are, still, useful idiots. They are falling prey to the MSM because they simply don't know any better. They fall in line with the party because welfare, and unemployment, and other forms of Assistance, are prevalent here. And, by and large...they're OK with it. I just hope they're smart enough to see through the smokescreen-promises of "free everything" and "guaranteed income", to understand that someone, somewhere, has to pay for all that free stuff. And hopefully - just hopefully - they'll care about their fellow Americans as opposed to simply wanting to live and mooch off them. I have been thinking lately that perhaps P45 should stop poking the MSM with a stick. Don't go so far as to LIKE them...but stop antagonizing them. Keep them pissed off, and they will NEVER report good stuff (like today's EU deal, which they by and large ignored in the name of scandal after scandal). But...if he simply went into "ignore" mode, focused on his job, and did his thing (continuing to WIN)...maybe they - and their short-attention-spans - would stop trying to crucify him all the time...and maybe even start to see and admit to some of the winning that's going on. Maybe. | ||

George Bush, a "nice guy" didn't complain every time they lied about him, and those lies, uncorrected, will be part of the record for a long time until he's almost forgotten and someone writes a book about how lied about he was. Long after any lessons we might learn from his actual failures have any meaning. My Opinion, is that the Future will condemn Bush the Younger for Not taking out the Mullahs in Iran, when he knew they were acting to kill Americans & Iraqis with bombs and support for terrorists. Make a deal with Putin to spare Syria, and cut Islamist terrorist flow into Russia from a new Free Iran. Past is past. If Trump doesn't force the truth out of the Media, it will be buried. No sense at all in trying to make them like him, it's just not going to happen, and wishing it would is pointless. The Leftists are The Mean Girls. They won't like you no matter how much you try. Far better to undercut their popularity and live proudly. Better for the digestion. And it's working. The Majority of Americans now think that the Big Media lies to them on a regular basis, in politics. That's devastating, long run, to revenues. At this rate CNN is going to want Government Money to stay in business. |
