‘Trillion dollar trainwreck’: US super stealth fighter is eating the next generation

All of a sudden, the US Air Force is considering cancelling a multibillion-dollar effort to develop a new stealth fighter. Citing the high cost of the so-called “Next-Generation Air Dominance” programme and the competing demands of other projects, USAF leaders have warned they may have no choice but to cancel NGAD – and find other ways of winning control of the air in future wars.

It’s a startling development for advocates of American air power. For generations, the whole US military – not to mention the militaries of America’s closest allies – have depended on the US Air Force to achieve air superiority against even the most determined and sophisticated foe, affording freedom of action for troops on the ground and ships at sea.

Bob Woodward calls Biden’s dismal debate performance a ‘political H-bomb’

Longtime Washington Post editor and Watergate reporter Bob Woodward shared serious concerns about President Biden’s dismal debate performance — and likened the president’s fumbling to a “political hydrogen bomb.”

“I think the answer here is in reporting, in seeking very aggressively, an explanation — what happened here?” Woodward, 81, told MSNBC’s Air Melber on Friday.

Woodward said Biden’s debating was “so bad, so awful” that the American people had a right to know what was going on.

Bari Weiss: They Knew

Rarely are so many lies dispelled in a single moment. Rarely are so many people exposed as liars and sycophants. Last night’s debate was a watershed on both counts.

The debate was not just a catastrophe for President Biden. And boy—oy—was it ever.

But it was more than that. It was a catastrophe for an entire class of experts, journalists, and pundits, who have, since 2020, insisted that Biden was sharp as a tack, on top of his game, basically doing handstands while peppering his staff with tough questions about care for migrant children and aid to Ukraine.

Biden’s poor debate performance renews questions about Trump, Trudeau and Canada’s future

U.S. President Joe Biden’s uneven — and at times incoherent — debate performance Thursday reportedly has triggered panic in Democratic circles as it could lead to an insurmountable lead for Donald Trump and a victory in November’s vote.

It also has observers on this side of the border wondering what a second Trump presidency could mean for Canada and how political leaders here will handle the sometimes volatile former president if he wins again.

Polls suggest Trump was already leading Biden before Thursday’s debate in the six battleground states that are expected to decide the presidential election — Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin

New York Times editorial board calls on Biden to drop out

Not sure if this Time cover is real but it should be.

The New York Times editorial board called on President Biden to suspend his campaign after his shaky debate performance against former President Trump on Thursday.

“Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on this threat of tyranny and defeating it. His argument rests largely on the fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020,” the board wrote. “That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.”

Report Says Pentagon-Funded Hunt For ‘White Supremacists’ In U.S. Military Led Nowhere

A new report said Pentagon programs to sniff out “white supremacists” in the U.S. military came up empty-handed and were even counterproductive to military readiness and morale.

A zealous diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy has been established in the military and service academies, more recently “through mandated executive orders in the 2010s and 2020s,” the report, produced by the Arizona State University’s (ASU) Center for American Institutions, said. It also revealed that the efforts to “search for ‘violent extremists’ in the military,” have yielded rare and infrequent results.

Dems freak out over Biden’s debate performance: ‘Biden is toast’

President Joe Biden opened the debate with a raspy voice and disjointed, rambling answers, reigniting Democratic concerns about his age and ability to take on former President Donald Trump.

Many of the president’s answers were hard to follow. At one point, seemingly losing his train of thought, Biden said “we finally beat Medicare,” misspeaking about his own policy on earned benefits.

In text messages with POLITICO, Democrats expressed confusion and concern as they watched the first minutes of the event. One former Biden White House and campaign aide called it “terrible,” adding that they have had to ask themselves over and over “What did he just say? This is crazy.”

It’s elder abuse, Joe looks like a handicapped person being talked to as if a baby … Jill is a bitch

Big stakes and high tension as Biden-Trump debate looms

When Donald Trump and Joe Biden take to the debate stage on Thursday night, it will be a reunion of sorts – although not exactly a friendly one.

A current president has never before debated his predecessor, and the bad blood between these two men will be obvious on the CNN debate stage in Atlanta.

Trump never conceded the 2020 election to President Biden and days after his supporters attacked the US Capitol, he broke with tradition by refusing to attend his opponent’s inauguration.

The great mistake

On August 2, 1964, three North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked the American destroyer USS Maddox. Fire was returned and ultimately there were no U.S. casualties. This, on top of what is now known as a fictitious attack (evidently triggered by false radar returns, according to James Stockdale, who was there) two days later on the 4th, led Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution — which began the shooting phase of the Vietnam War.

The World’s Most Dangerous Delusion: Biden Thinks China Wants Stability

“It’s very hard for China to take certain steps without harming its own economy,” U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said on June 12. “And I think we now understand that economic performance is central right now to what is important to President Xi.”

“Campbell,” Reuters reported, “told Washington’s Stimson Center think tank China needed to reassure investors and others that it has a plan for its economy and would not be looking to create frictions that could escalate in unpredictable and dangerous ways.”

Tackling US gun violence as a public health crisis. Will it help?

US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has declared gun violence a public health crisis, a move aimed at curbing the US’ role in leading the world in shooting deaths.

In a first-of-its-kind report urging action, the country’s top doctor noted that a majority of Americans or their family members have experienced gun violence.

A public health approach could help, Dr Murthy argues, as it did with changes to seatbelt safety in vehicles and warnings about health impacts of smoking cigarettes. He hopes to remove politics from an issue that has bitterly divided lawmakers and instead have Americans look at the impacts and the data.

50 immigrants brought to US through an ISIS-tied smuggling ring are unaccounted for by DHS: report

Three Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials told NBC News on Tuesday that 50 out of 400 illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States through a human smuggling network connected to the Islamic State are still unaccounted for.

The revelation comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested eight men from Tajikstan in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles this month over suspected ties to the Islamic State of Iran and Syria (ISIS).
