The U.S. Air Force has decided not to repair a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber involved in a mishap because of the costs and complexities involved and will divest the aircraft instead. The news of striking one of the precious B-2s from its fleet comes as the Air Force continues to move toward fielding its new B-21 Raider stealth bombers as replacements for its existing B-2s, as well as its supersonic swing-wing B-1 bombers.


Details about the Air Force's decision to get rid of the damaged B-2, which is set to formally happen sometime in the next year or so, were included in an annual force structure report that the Pentagon released in April. Aviation Week was among the first to report on this development. There are currently just 20 B-2s in the service's inventory, including the damaged one.
 
 
"The B-2 is being divested in FY 2025 due to a ground accident/damage presumed to be uneconomical to repair," according to the Pentagon report. Fiscal Year 2025 begins on October 1, 2024.

I suppose that now he is 18, TBR trolls can shit on him because of who his father is.

Oh, trust me... if you think we're bad, you should see the site formerly known as Twitter.

They seem to think that since he's 18 and because he was named a delegate, he became fair game to be bullied. I'm not going to do that—and most would agree, I'm one of Donald's harshest critics here. He declined the position. He has so far shown no desire to be a public figure. I can respect that.

There's a difference between him and his older half-brothers Don Jr. and Eric, who are knee-deep in the mucky-muck with their dad, Don Jr. even giving orders to the Dilley Meme Team. Barron has done nothing to earn anyone's ire yet. He looks like he's keeping his head down and lying low.

The same people that stopped Fauci.

Speaking of that rat fink:

Hell Freezes Over: CNN Host Says Biden Must Go Back to Trump's Immigration Policies
Matt Vespa

Is Joe Biden becoming the grim reaper for liberal media figures? I only say that because it feels that one by one, he’s making such prominent figures turn against him, even claiming that Trump-era policies were the correct ones on issues like illegal immigration. Of course, these folks will probably vote for Biden in November. Still, it’s saying something about the president where even CNN’s Fareed Zakaria says Biden must re-adopt Trump-era immigration policies. Zakaria was on PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, where the GPS host said millions are especially gaming the asylum process. Ryan Saavedra of Daily Wire clipped and transcribed the segment:

    ZAKARIA: "The whole system is broken," he said. "And Biden needs to confront that and say, you know, ‘We are going to have to reform the whole system.’ I would wish he'd do something much more extreme, like, say ‘the old asylum system is dead. No one is coming in through that process. You have to apply from your home country’.

    MARGARET HOOVER: "Which was, which was a Trump policy."

    ZAKARIA: "Which was a Trump– and also the Mexico, let– you know, you have to be in Mexico to apply. I think that's all correct."

    HOOVER: "So strategically, you think [cross] if Biden would tack towards Trump policies he would have a better political chance?"

    ZAKARIA: "Yeah. And by the way, it's the right policy because the old asylum system is being gamed by millions of people."

So, is hell freezing over?

Biden's New Low
Guy Benson


Consider the timeline: On May 5th, Axios reported that the Biden administration was withholding a shipment of ammunition to Israel, in an effort to pressure the Israelis not to eliminate Hamas' final stronghold in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.  For a few days, the administration refused to comment about this report.  On May 7th, President Biden delivered a speech condemning anti-Semitism at the national Holocaust Museum, aligning with Holocaust Remembrance Day.  During that speech, he described his support for Israel as "ironclad."  Immediately following that address, administration officials began confirming the 'paused ammunition' report, affirmations that were reportedly delayed until after Biden's remarks.  Having played to one side of the Hamas-started war in Gaza, by repudiating anti-Semitism and offering pro-Israel rhetoric, the Biden team instantly pivoted to once again pandering to the other side of the conflict.  The pro-Hamas side, for clarity.  By Wednesday night, the president himself not only took personal ownership of this delay, he also escalated.  Genuinely shocking and indefensible:
