Elroy Air CEO says his new plane could give U.S. edge in the Pacific
Dave Merrill, CEO and co-founder of Elroy Air, told Fox News Digital about an autonomous cargo delivery system that would give the U.S. military a leg up against China.

The Department of Defense could use an advanced drone delivery service to give the military an advantage against China as tensions escalate overseas, a California aerospace technology head told Fox News Digital.

"Rising competition and the potential for conflict with the People's Republic of China, should they invade Taiwan, creates this urgency to make sure that if the U.S. needs to go and operate more actively in the Pacific, we're ready to do that," Elroy Air CEO and co-founder Dave Merrill said.

Elroy Air demonstrated its autonomous cargo delivery service at Travis Air Force Base last year, boasting a system "broadening the realm of the possible for military logistics," the company announced in an October press release. The aircraft, known as the Chaparral, aims to safely and efficiently deliver essential supplies for global military operations, which the Pentagon has expressed interest in using for potential conflicts in the Pacific, Merrill told Fox News Digital.

Trump once pretended to fire me: testimony
By Kyle Schnitzer

Former Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney testified Monday morning that Donald Trump once told him he was fired — only he wasn’t.

Describing the moment that sounds like it could've come straight from "The Apprentice," McConney said that once when he walked into Trump’s office, Trump, who was on the phone, jokingly told him that he was fired because his cash balances went down the week before.

“Jeff, you’re fired,” McConney testified, adding that Trump, when he got off the phone, told him: “You’re not fired but my cash balances went down from last week.”

Trump then told McConney to “negotiated my bills,” according to the witnesses.

McConney said it was a “teaching moment” for him.

 

... on the brightside, more Gazan Air BnB's and VRBO's will be available for Summer rentals.

Isn't Marine Corps Intelligence an oxymoron?

KIDDING!  JUST KIDDING!

Judge Big Juan dares Trump to cross this line.

  Appropriate cartoon. 

Yes, he's just waiting to throw him in the slammer.  Trump needs to think things through--what does he think they're going to do with him or to him once they have him out of the public eye???
