LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMMMMBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLEEE!
According to supporting budget request documents, the agency plans to add these layers of defensive capability to its architecture and is taking steps to assess the Aegis Weapon System to determine if it can be upgraded to bolster homeland defense against ICBM threats, particularly the SM-3 Block IIA missiles used in the system. The MDA wants to spent $39.2 million in FY21 looking into this possibility.
Additionally, the agency would like to spend $56.6 million in FY21 to modernize the Aegis system and test the feasibility of operationalizing the Aegis Ashore Defense Test Complex in Hawaii. Funding also includes adding SM-3 to the Aegis Ashore arsenal to provide “an exo-atmospheric defense against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats in the later stages of flight,” the budget documents describe. The Romania Aegis Ashore site has already been upgraded with the missile.
MDA is also requesting $273.6 million for THAAD development efforts to include funding for a THAAD homeland defense tier. Specifically, the agency is asking for $139 million in FY21 to start the development and demonstration of a new interceptor prototype for THAAD, which could support a tiered and layered approach to homeland defense.

Now that’s funny! –
“The campaign doesn’t have to do anything but step back and watch the Democrats demolish themselves,” said a GOP operative close to the Trump campaign. “This is like a dream scenario.”
“If you had asked me at the beginning of all of this which Democrats would be the weakest to run against from the moderate and the progressive lanes, the answers would have been Buttigieg and Bernie,” the operative added, pointing to the two candidates leading the Democratic field out of Iowa.

Why is CA so whacked out? There’s a lot to like in that article.
“California lawmakers passed the travel ban in 2016 after North Carolina enacted a law that required people to use gender-specific bathrooms according to their sex at birth. ” (theee most important policy item in the Blue Mob, and I can see why)
“In one instance, students from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo couldn’t travel to a Houston conference of minority architects. ” (not only ridiculous, but what is a ‘minority architect’ and why does it matter?)
“The 2017 Texas foster care law “continues to hurt children who sleep in office buildings and die in the state’s care because there are not enough foster parents when a child could otherwise be adopted by loving LGBTQ parents,” he said.” (nothing better for a kid than to be handed over to crazy transsexual people).
The funny thing is that if you poured through state statutes, you could find something in all the 49 states + DC that would violate somebody’s sense of morality. Considering how interstate commerce has been tweaked out of shape to provide legal fig leaves for other things, you’d think this would be a no-brainer in terms of a court case.

“Less than half-an-hour after TV networks cut away from the Senate to dive into the ramifications of the body acquitting Trump, McConnell filed cloture on the nomination of Judge Andrew Brasher to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, a procedural step that moved the controversial nominee one step closer to confirmation. The Senate took the next step to confirming Brasher with a 46-41 cloture vote Monday, then confirmed him 52-43 on Tuesday.
Progressive groups, which have opposed many Trump nominees, cried foul over the move.
“Last Wednesday, a narrow majority of the Senate voted to cover up the president’s actions. Immediately after the vote to betray our democracy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell turned right back to nominations,” said Lena Zwarensteyn, the Fair Courts campaign director for The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “McConnell is staying the course on shielding the president’s actions from checks and balances and stacking the courts with nominees who have records of hostility to civil and human rights, particularly voting rights.”

Non compos mentis I: “‘The tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots’ [is] a great line. Well, guess what? The fact is if you’re going to take on the government you need an F-15 with Hellfire missiles. There is no way an AK-47 is going to take care of you if you’re worried about the government knocking down your door. And so, it’s bizarre. We never said you could own any weapon at all from the beginning. You can’t own a machine gun. You can’t own a bazooka. You can’t own an M1 tank, no matter how much money you have. … I now have over 58% of the NRA members acknowledging you can’t own an assault weapon.” —Joe Biden
Non compos mentis II: “We should eliminate and transition away from the use of plastics.” —Joe Biden
And last… “AG Bill Barr is announcing sweeping new crackdowns on sanctuary policies. This is huge. America should be a sanctuary for American citizens, not illegal aliens.” —Charlie Kirk

“According to a separate report on serial abuses committed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) during its investigation of Trump, the DOJ inspector general found that the government knew long before Mueller was even appointed that there was no evidence of any collusion.”….
“DOJ has not announced whether it will seek legal or ethical sanctions against any of the attorneys who allegedly lied to DOJ about their rogue sentencing scheme against Roger Stone. In a filing submitted late Tuesday evening, DOJ said the original sentencing memorandum did not reflect the position of the U.S. government and that a nearly decade-long sentence for a non-violent first-time criminal would be inappropriate.“

I admit that it’s a confusing thing to me.
In the simplest view, the US has had three big waves of immigration in the post-Columbian era. An initial invasion of folks who constructed the country, mostly English protestants and their slaves. A second surge of largely German people combined with a big group of Irish and Scandinavians and a scattering of folks from across Europe. A third surge which is right now (and the same size as surge two) and is majority Latin American.
The thing is that the second surge caused enough social problems that laws were passed to basically drop the immigration rate to near-zero for decades.
Normally you’d expect that to happen this time, but International Team Blue is a new thing in the world. Their solution to the problems with immigration, which is mostly from the Third World now, is simply more immigration. I suppose that overpowering the locals with all those new voters to feed is one way to make a place ever so moral, but I’d probably just move to Somalia, Guatemala, or Syria if I felt the need to live in that culture.

This is a good time to remind the reader that every hate crime that is reported to police goes in the books as a hate crime. The stats go by number of reported hate crimes, not the outcome of investigations or uncovered hoax. Thus, someone writing of social media says a Don Lemon type would be better suit for interior decorating than journalism can be reported as a hate crime (homophobia), even if was written by a fellow gay person.
Thus, the record books (stats) will show that the Jussie Smollett debacle will go down forever as a hate crime because that is how the reporting person called it.
I am not here to argue two wrongs make a right. Too childish. Ok, I am here to argue that two wrongs make a Lefty, but go ahead and blame the right.
Oh, first the Lefties decry the use of the broadbrush when it comes to Islamic immigrants from factions that embrace terrorism, while in the next breath paint what happened to the coach’s car in Placer County as fault of all white people…er…Trump’s bots and supporters.
Hey, doesn’t one of our regulars here live in Placer County?? Was it him? Was it, Wally? “Gee Beaver, that sounds kind of goofy.”
I have friends who live in Placer County and KVMR has (or had) this crazy total nutjob from LA who is/ was a volunteer DJ who lives in Placer County (Colfax area) and she is a Y-T! Bet it was her.
White people are the worse. I even have a couple of white friends, so I ain’t racist.
My FAVORITE hoax was the college co-ed walking down the hallway of her dorm and spots a shoelace on the floor near someone’s dorm room door. Thinking it must have been dropped by a fellow dorm mate, she picked up the shoelace and hung it on the door for the owner to see and claim. Well, it is in the record books as a hate crime. Someone hung a noose on a black co-ed’s door!!! Caused quite the ruckus, campus demonstrators, demands from the students, more required white shaming classes, etc. After an intense LE investigation, theyfound the culprit, the co-ed who thought someone dropped a shoelace and would be glad to find the lost item. Still it will always be in the stats as a hate crime….because that is how it was in it initially reported.
