If we can just stop, repent, accept being duped, set aside political differences and focus on what truly matters – cultivating a culture of life a... more »

On The Road Again-- Blue America Truck Is Visiting Devin Nunes' And Jim Costa's Constituents In The Central Valley

The U.S. Air Force May Not Buy A Drone Tanker Or a Light Attack Aircraft
*Popular Mechanics:* *The U.S. Air Force May Not Buy New Stealth Tanker After All, and the Light Attack Aircraft Could be Dead Too* *The service appears to be trimming expectations to meet operational realities, budgets. But what's this thing about space tankers? * The U.S. Air Force may not buy a stealthy tanker after all, dashing hopes of a radar-invisible refueling plane that could fly close to the aerial front line. Meanwhile, the service also announced its new OA-X light attack aircraft program is on indefinite hold. It would seem that the Air Force is cutting back programs ... more »

Stealth Nightmare: Is the F-35 Unable to Fight?
*Dan Grazier* *Security, * Another setback for the F-35? *Behler writes that operational testing cannot begin until the program updates versions of the F-35’s operating software, mission-data files, Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), and testing range infrastructure software.* The troubled $1.5 trillion F-35 program is not ready to begin the critical combat-testing phase, the Pentagon’s testing director said in a previously undisclosed August memo obtained by the Center for Defense Information at the Project On Government Oversight (POGO). That decision marks anothe... more »
The Navy Fears This Deadly Stealth Submarine Could Sink An Aircraft Carrier
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * AIP, while not granting a diesel-electric submarine the same underwater staying power as a nuclear-powered submarine, is still a radical improvement. There are several types of AIP propulsion systems. The Sterling system is one of the oldest, closed-circuit diesel generators, followed by chemical fuel cells. The latest trend in AIP systems is the use of powerful, long-lasting lithium ion batteries. *AIP subs are America's worst nightmare...* One of the most crucial improvements in submarines of the postwar era is the air independent propulsion (AIP) ... more »
No One Gets To The Left Of Bernie
If the Trump-hating/AOC-hating/Elizabeth Warren-hating/Bernie-hating, clueless Starbucks Guy is running on reducing a deficit his class built up and on cutting what he calls "entitlements," and on opposing Medicare-for-All, the Green New Deal and fair taxes on the wealthy, why doesn't he just run as the Republican his top aides and advisors all are? Earlier in the week Miss McConnell and John Thune proposed repealing the weak estate tax, which is expected to be paid by fewer than 2,000 Americans a year. As Erik Sherman pointed out for *Forbes* readers, "The PR game that was waged ... more »
If My Office Is Closed Due To Snow Or Ice, Do I Get Paid?
It's that time of year again. With 75% of the country getting hit by the polar vortex, I thought I'd better re-run this ever-popular and necessary piece. Whether you’re entitled to be paid when the office is closed depends on whether you are “exempt” salaried or not. Just being salaried doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t entitled to overtime. It’s possible to be salaried and still non-exempt from the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Many employers misclassify employees as exempt to avoid paying overtime. If you work more than forty hours per week, it’s better to be no... more »

Short trip to the fitness center
We decided to change our routine a little--we got 4-5" of snow last night (still falling) so rather than take 2 cars to Lifetime Fitness where we work out (about 2 miles), I decided to go with Bob in his car. We had driven 2 blocks north when his SUV began to spin out--he couldn't get it to straighten out, so on about the 3rd spin as we went into the southbound lane and on coming traffic, he said, "Well, I guess we won't go this morning," and we continued south with our new best friends, and returned to our garage. It's supposed to warm up today, but he was also planning to take pa... more »
