I STILL don't understand why we need fighter planes. Hasn't Ukraine shown they are unnecessary? Can someone enlighten me?

It may be a moot point.
My prediction is this: for all the money we have paid for our F-35s, Trump is going keep the planes and the money. It will be a *long* time until we see those planes, if we ever do.

I hope I’m wrong, but I’m basing my prediction on the PURL initiative. 🇪🇺 was supposed to be able to buy weapons and 🇺🇸 would ship them to 🇺🇦. Instead, 🇺🇸 kept the money, and shipped nothing.

France announces ban on gas boilers in new buildings starting in 2027 French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu also announced on Friday a doubling of support for electrification by 2030, from €5.5 billion to €10 billion annually.

VERY BIG NEWS out of France a week ago:
"French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced on Friday, April 10, a ban on installing gas heating systems "by year's end" in new buildings, including multi-unit housing, to curb France's dependence on fossil fuels."

This is one reason the price of crude oil is high today.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is winning the war against Trump’s buddy Putin… Russian oil refineries and industrial infrastructure is being destroyed. This is being done without help from the USA 🇺🇸.

Some work underway at Project Blue site in Pima County TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - Construction is underway for Project Blue, the data center planned for the southeast side near the Pima County Fairgrounds.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Breaking: Construction starts on Project Blue, a $3.6B data center campus near the Pima County Fairgrounds. Critics warn it will drain Tucson's water supply and drive up electric bills. Because that makes sense and is exactly what you want when you live in a fucking desert.

This would be a multi BILLION$ case or settlement if Trump wasn’t running the DOJ.
Buying WAPO & giving Trump a few million had/has an incredible ROI for Bezos.
Him, META, Musk, Ellison, big oil, private equity & all the other scammers/fraudsters are geniuses.

I think the malignant narcissist shows up bc he sees this as his big Obama moment. His opportunity to try and refute Obama’s perfect mic drop Gary Busey joke that will live in infamy. Plus, Stephen Miller has already written the jokes about ICE killing American’s & Melanie’s been paid so …

Loomered 😂

People across the political spectrum are feeling outrage that while families in Georgia are made to pay more and more for everything, the First Family is pocketing vast sums of money from all over the world.
