EMT 7/3/15 - Dependence Day edition [krakatoa]
Welcome to the 3rd of July. Something important happened 239 years ago and a day.
I think that thing Thomas Jefferson said about 1689 English Declaration of Rights is particularly appropriate:
1689? That's like, ancient history, amiright?

Did anyone hear Andrew Young - ANDREW YOUNG - say that the flag is irrelevant when blacks are being killed almost exclusively by other blacks. And that the Confederate flag means a lot of things to a lot of people.
It was on a local Atlanta station. Heard it on Levin. "The challenge is not to dwell upon the past but to learn to live together in the future."
Wow. And from a Jimmuh acolyte no less.

For what it's worth, Trump has surged to #2 in the Breitbart monthly poll. Cruz #1, Walker #3.
As I have said, I'm not supporting Trump BUT he's the only one so far who is saying things I agree with (no matter how crudely perhaps he comes across) and he is not backing down. For that alone, I think he is having a rather salutary effect on the primary process.
All bets are off if he runs third party, but then again, if Jeb steals the nomination then I may just vote for Trump.

On the F-35, okay, let's accept that the F-35 is a bomb truck and not a dog fighter. If it isn't a dog fighter, which plane is our dog fighter since the F-35 is everything? Also, CAS requires getting in close, that means a possibility of dog fighting.

Pretty soon, they'll be telling us it's a great dogfighter because it can turn inside a Foxbat. (Rolls eyes, wonders when the liquor store opens.)
One wonders if the AF will start retiring the F-35 before the production run is finished, leading to Ultimate Stupidity where new planes are just sent to the boneyard to get shrink-wrapped.
Of course, this assumes we'll last long enough to get that far.

But even people who have all the money can't buy anything because the people who sell stuff have nothing to sell because the people who sell stuff to the people who sell stuff to people who have the money can't get paid because there is no mechanism to transfer money across the greek border.
And even the people who have the money don't have enough to pay for the stuff they want to import to sell because, apparently no one has any money to buy the stuff.
So where did the money go?
And the best part is, Greece can't go full Zimbabwe because the government doesn't have printing presses to print more money.
Good thing we don't have that problem here because all our money is in the computer systems run by the banks.

Fiorina? I think she has the same fearlessness in saying tough things,
but she's a more believable candidate.
Posted by: biancaneve at July 03, 2015 07:04 AM
I don't like teh Donald, but I really dislike Fiorina. Neither of them strikes me as an attractive candidate, because neither has the kind of record a successful president should have. One would prefer to see more success than failure, which lets them both out.
But in a post-Choom Boy world -- assuming he really does deign to step down in '17 -- it is obvious that a gimmick (skin color, gender, bad hair and big mouth) transcends all else. The presidency has become a kind of Affirmative-Action position, a prize awarded to anyone who feels like participating.

Not sure about that. IMO, what Soros "likes" is conflict. He digs watching inferior people -- which is everyone not named George Soros -- biting, scratching at and, ultimately, consuming each other.
As long as he owns all the dogs in the fight, he wins, no matter which one kills the rest.

____________________________
Arizona's state prisons are stuffed to the gills with violent illegal alien criminals, most of whom are Mexicans. This nonsense that is continually spun by the media/Hollywood/government complex about how all illegal aliens are just hard-working, law-abiding family folks is all a load of bull. Our country has become a dumping ground for all the world's criminals, and Mexico is one of the chief dumpers.
Trump is just stating facts. They're ugly facts, but they're still facts. The illegal alien criminals in Arizona cost taxpayers here billions of dollars a year -- not to mention the fact that, before they're caught and incarcerated (at our expense), these criminals are victimizing citizens here.
Every American who cares about the future of this country should applaud Trump for having the courage to state the obvious.

What was originally supposed to be a one-time line item became the new baseline. That stimulus money went out every year.
Oh, and according to some internal (but not classified) documents, up to 45% of that money is just in the wind.

Even if you have money, you can't pay for anything outside of Greece because the banking system has been shutdown.
Any import-export business is in the same circumstances. You can't import anything, you can't export anything, and basically business transactions are shutting down.
And the capital controls thing means if you try to leave Greece with a suitcase full of paper money, you get arrested at the border. (Ok risk getting arrested at the border.)

And the Democrats backing a socialist will be like every other topic with democrats that slowly slides left. "No, no, no of COURSE we arent in favor of (x). We just want .1(x)" to "well there's nothing wrong with (x)!" See also gay marriage and socialized medicine.
In other words, those who so fiercely denied being socialist and questioned if their accusers even knew the definition of the word will shortly be defending socialism.

The Democrat establishment will not allow Sanders to be the nominee. Most of Wall Street contributes to that party and they know what side the bread is buttered on. True, they could give a shit for the free market and are participating eagerly in a fascistic model, but Sanders and Warren are loose cannons. Clinton may be ideologically leftist but she is a greedy thief first and foremost.
Trump on the other hand I will not discount so readily. He has already lasted longer than I thought when he announced. And I am actually rooting for the guy to make a good showing. I like what he's saying and I want him to continue to tell the MFM, the Leftists and the GOP-e to go fuck itself.
He is not going to be Joe-the-Plumbered or Chick Fil A'd if he can help it.

Two Turkeys on the bow cats. Go is given for launch. One Turkey is hurtling down the deck when the shuttle breaks. F-14 limps off the bow to vanish, the pilot in other Tomcat sees two ejection seats and then the damnedest thing ever, the stricken F-14 has pitched nose up after losing all that weight while still in Zone V afterburner, goes rocketing up in the air, stalls out, and he sees this huge hunk of what was 68,000lbs of jet hurtling towards HIS F-14 which is still on the deck. At the last second the falling plane completely misses the deck and plunges into the ocean as the pilot and RIO get kicked out to each side of the carrier by the bow wave after their ejection.

I'm all for Trump staying in, both as a protest to the establishment and because he's saying things no other candidates have the balls to say. My hope is that he forces the others to address the issues similarly, even though my personal opinion of him is that he's an asshole and not particularly conservative.
I think I'd take him over Jeb Bush, though.

I was just looking back over that page to see what else might be worth mentioning, when I saw that I had an item that had AoSHQ-style [ i ] and [ /i ] plainly showing, instead of regular html making italicans.
Not the first time I've tried to use square-bracket styling elsewhere than AoSHQ.
Sometimes this ol' software amuses. Sometimes.
BTW, Tim in Illinois, what you were looking for with del is [ s ]struckout[ /s ] (sans spaces of course). The many, many styling choices you have here are: i, b, s, and u. b! i! Can't do those on an ordinary typewriter!

Absolutely true. Anyone who thinks a Swiss Army Knife is the Cat's Meow ought to try eating a steak with one. Having a knife at one end and a fork at the other doesn't work very well.
That being said, a Swiss Army knife is lot better than having nothing. But just like a Swiss Army knife was never meant to take the place of a sword, the F-35 was never meant to be an air superiority fighter.
Only Buffoons like the Demon-rats would try to make an F-35 be an air superiority fighter. But understand they don't want us to be able to win a war - because in their diseased, clueless, minds anyone able to defend themselves is a bully.

Earliest is 1986 when the Royal Navy and USMC started looking for a supersonic replacement for the Sea Harrier/Harrier II. It was called the Joint Advanced Strike Technology fighter.
In 1990 the USAF started to look at the JAST fighter to complement the ATF. And then the Navy started looking at a navalised ATF.
So we get to the X-32 Common Affordable Light Fighter (CALF). This is where the F-35 starts to emerge as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).

How do you think the F-14 got LANTIRN? No one in the five sided puzzle palace wanted to give Dave 'Hey Joe' Parsons and his buddies any money to integrate that into the Tomcat. But Parsons and his band worked with friends at Martin-Marietta and a squadron commander willing to let them experiment on a F-14. So by 1998 the Tomcat was the Bombcat and a whole new chapter in F-14 valor was born.

Before being raked over the coals, my thought process was:
A) Israel has MOP's
B) Israel has no airframe capable of lifting them
C) Israel has heavy lift/long range airliners
D) Israel is a technologically advanced industrial nation with its own advanced aircraft industry
E) If it is feasible, it has the wherewithal to convert said airliners
The only question is can it work?

With these several court decisions, we are being burdened as a free people: Obamacare FORCED on us, FORCED to participate in ceremonies that go against their conscience, and the disparate impact decision will also be a problem. Our politicians have learned they can ignore our wishes and best interests without paying a price. (how did we get here?)
So, to rattle their cage, we could stop all discretionary spending for a set period of time. The country would *freak*! Couldn't we a week - too short. Would need to be longer, two weeks minimum, maybe 4.
Its this a workable idea?

They have planes heavy enough to lift bunker busters, just not stealthy ones or enough. It's a matter of numbers sometimes
Posted by: Nevergiveup at July 03, 2015 09:22 AM (/tNwW)
Mentioned it a few days ago but I was musing about Israel modifying 747's or other large airliners and turning them into bombers to deliver the massive bunker buster bombs.
Yeah, they're relatively slow and would have major center-of-gravity issues during the release, but hey; out of the box thinking can overcome some of these problems, no?

C130 + BunkerBuster on a pallet. Push out the rear ramp.

I'm talking about MOP's not ALCM's unless the latter can do the former. In which case they don't need a heavy lifter when they can sea launch or launch from Saudi right across the Gulf.

Sounds like I'd have to get up off the couch, so no.
As an added tweak, if everyone went to the bank and withdrew a substantial amount of cash right before the discretionary spending siesta, life could get interesting!

They'd have to Wild Weasel the hell out of Iran's air defenses beforehand. I imagine that a whole bunch of Sayeret Matkal special forces types will be doing sabotage just before the attack.

BAD IDEA.
I had this horrible nightmare. I was in our house with my kid and little bugs, tiny gnat sized ones at first, started to appear. Then bigger and bigger ones, mostly roaches, started flooding in.
I felt so helpless because I could just swat at them one at a time. In the dream I started crying from fear and helplessness. I finally woke up when the bugs were getting so huge that sleeping me told myself "this is ridiculous." Bam. That broke the nightmare.
I guess it was my mind dealing with what's happening to our country.

Disagree to an extent. The GOP itself will always be a piņata no matter what. At least Trump is saying what needs to be said. Fuckfaces like Pataki who attack him for telling the truth should earn our ire. Not Trump. I for one am glad he's out there.

Yeah but back in 2004 Iran did not have multiple hardened facilities. Israel still has to successfully deliver ( and in Israel's case return with "acceptable" casualties) in great enough numbers to make a significant difference?

In facing an existential threat, the definition of "acceptable" becomes subject to somewhat malleable!

Any import-export business is in the same circumstances. You can't
import anything, you can't export anything, and basically business
transactions are shutting down.
And the capital controls thing means if you try to leave Greece with
a suitcase full of paper money, you get arrested at the border. (Ok
risk getting arrested at the border.)

So basically the EU is blockading Greece... putting them in a state of siege without the actual castle walls.
