Donald Trump wants better deal on F-35 fighter jets, says ‘cost is out of control’

Via Billy

President-elect Donald Trump took aim Monday at Lockheed Martin’s F-35 program, saying on Twitter that the “cost is out of control,” and he will be looking to save money on the fighter jet and other military programs when he takes office.

“The F-35 program and cost is out of control. Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th,” Mr. Trump tweeted.

It was the second time in as many weeks that Mr. Trump took to Twitter to blast Pentagon spending.

Last week, he urged the cancellations of Boeing’s contract to build a new Air Force One fleet, which was followed by an abrupt but temporary drop in the company’s stock price.

Similarly, Lockheed Martin’s stock price took a hit, as shares fell more than 5 percent by noon Monday. The aerospace company’s market value dropped $4 billion after the tweet.

An Electoral Coup is Underway

 

On December 19, 2016 the electoral college will vote.

Based on the vote, Trump should receive 306 votes and Clinton will have 232.

However, it is possible for many electors to change their vote.  They aren't bound by it.

There's currently a very well funded attempt to influence electors to flip their votes on December 19th to change the outcome of the election.

Despite expectations that it is far fetched, it has a high chance of success.  As of today, there are enough electoral votes in play to flip the outcome.

The three outcomes in discussion right now:

1. Trump falls short of the electoral count (270) to become President and the election is sent to Congress for a decision.
2.  Clinton gets more than 270 electoral votes and becomes the President.
3. A dark horse candidate (Kaisitch, etc.) would get the votes to become President.

In my view:  all of these outcomes would end in a disaster.

FAKE HATE: Devout Houston Muslim Pleads Guilty to Torching His Own Mosque

Via Billy

Breitbart.com reported:

The Muslim charged with arson of his own mosque on Christmas Day 2015 has pleaded guilty to felony arson in a Harris County (Houston) district court and was sentenced to prison.

The charging instrument stated that Gary Nathaniel Moore started a fire with the intent to destroy and damage a place of worship – the Savoy Masjid Mosque in Houston. Moore said he attended the mosque every day up to five times a day for five years. The Houston Fire Department (HFD) responded to the fire about 2:47 p.m. on Christmas Day.

Breitbart News reported that “up in smoke is the DC Media’s hoped-for anti-GOP Narrative. Before any facts were known, numerous DC Media outlets immediately exploited the tragedy to place the blame on Donald Trump.” As reported by Breitbart Texas, Breitbart News accurately predicted that the DC media would lose interest in the story “Now that a devout Muslim has been charged.”

Charlottesville Residents Launch Official Process to Recall Disgraced Vice-Mayor Wes Bellamy

Via Susan

In the wake of the revelation of numerous racist, homophobic, sexist and vulgar tweets posted on social media by Charlottesville Vice-Mayor Wes Bellamy, there has been an ongoing push to remove him from Charlottesville City Council.  Even though an online petition gathered nearly 1,000 signatures in a matter of days, and despite the fact that the Albermarle County School Board placed him on administrative leave and the Governor of Virginia forced him to resign from the State Board of Education, members of city council not only have refused to ask Bellamy to resign, but went as far as to express their unwavering support for the disgraced Vice-Mayor.  In response to the lack of action from city council, and on the advice of legal representation, a grassroots group of Charlottesville citizens has drafted an official recall petition, requesting that he be removed from office for “misuse of office’
