Competition to build the Navy’s next warship



Competition to build the Navy’s next warship
Not Shown

Before reading this article howbeit very important, can we first think this out?

This government wants to build a massive ‘War Ship’ and build a massive amount of them?

And
From any country around the world I might add.
Say What?
Whatever happened to (Made in America)?
(Make America Great Again)?
Are you telling America that there are no American Companies capable of building our (War Machines)?
Not a company in America 
owned by a company
 in other countries!
I believe that this is what we did with 'Communist China' and now 'Communist China' wants to destroy this county!
Also
Question?

What about the 
(Raytheon’s SM-6® missile delivers a proven over-the-horizon offensive and defensive capability by leveraging the time-tested Standard Missile airframe and propulsion system. It’s the only missile that supports anti-air warfare, anti-surface warfare and sea-based terminal ballistic missile defense in one solution—and it’s enabling the U.S. and its allies to cost-effectively increase the offensive might of surface forces)?


Missiles like this will take out any ship in any water!
So

Why not just make ‘drones, ship's, planes and more missiles that fit on them?

Italian manufacturer wants to help build that bigger U.S. Navy fleet
by Aaron Gregg June 3 at 12:52 PM Email the author

Competition is heating up in the race to build the Navy’s next warship, with foreign and U.S. manufacturers vying for a multibillion-dollar opportunity.

In February, the Navy announced it had shortlisted five shipbuilders for the FFG(X) program, which calls for a replacement for the littoral combat ship.

Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Huntington Ingalls, Austal and Fincantieri were awarded research-and-development contracts this year, and the service expects to pick a single company to oversee the program in 2020.

The opportunity has sparked a competitive scramble among the five companies shortlisted for the project. Fincantieri, a Trieste, Italy, manufacturer that maintains a U.S. shipyard in Wisconsin, took the opportunity last week to showcase the ITS Alpino warship in Baltimore, while the Italian navy embarked on a tour along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.


SOPHISTICATED MULTI-MISSION WARFARE

Deployed on cruisers and destroyers in the U.S. Navy, the SM-6 missile provides Joint Force and Strike Force Commanders fleet air defense against all types of aircraft – manned and unmanned; land-attack anti-ship cruise missiles in flight; ballistic missiles in their terminal, or final, stage of flight over land or sea; and targets on the ocean’s surface. The missile is subsequently considered a triple threat, providing anti-air warfare, sea-based terminal ballistic missile defense and anti-surface warfare. The SM-6 missile is the most affordable missile per defended area and threat set and continues to perform beyond expectations and its original intended mission. It’s now one missile with three missions.

Vertically launched from a MK 41 VLS canister, the SM-6 missile is compatible with existing AEGIS cruisers and destroyers and future cruisers and destroyers. The system’s operational modes include semi-active homing and active homing to provide highly accurate target engagement, and it incorporates the advanced signal processing and guidance control capabilities of the AMRAAM® air-to-air missile.

“Unrig the System”


Patrick Murphy     and   David Jolly
Something good from a lot of bad?

In Congress, the typical workweek is from Tuesday through Thursday.

The Ocala Star-Banner.
Trying to end the dysfunction
Our Opinion:

Two former Florida congressmen, a Republican and a Democrat, are traveling the state to talk about bipartisanship.

David Jolly and Patrick Murphy once represented rare congressional districts that contained registered voters evenly split between Democrats and Republicans.

So they had incentives to seek moderation.

Now they would like to

“Unrig the system”

For the next generation.

The duo has three proposed reforms:
Address gerrymandered districts,
Closed primaries
And
The distorted role of money in politics.

The Fair Districts Amendment has improved matters a bit, but mainly along geographic lines.

The next phase of the effort should seek to create districts that are closer to 50-50 representation, Murphy and Jolly said.

Murphy and Jolly support a system that will allow voters to vote in whichever primary they choose.

Finally, Jolly and Murphy said something must be done to radically change the way money dominates politics.


WELL DUH!

This is what our fore-fathers, our states, the country and the voting public have been wanting since the very beginning of the country!

Oil prices rise after Air Strike


Oil prices rise after Air Strike

Sounds like a normal statement don’t it?

Well to a normal person I guess it would.

However, I have never been accuser as being normal, no sense starting now?

Syria itself produces very little oil.

As a U.S. military strike against Syria grows increasingly likely, oil prices have slowly crept higher.

WHY?
Because it can!


Today, the U.S. actually gets most of its imported oil from Canada and Latin America.

And many Americans might be surprised to learn that the U.S. now imports roughly the same amount of oil from Africa as it does from the Persian Gulf.

African imports were a bit higher in 2010, while Persian Gulf oil accounted for a bit more last year.

What I do not understand is why my friends and neighbors are so contented with this greed?

As you know, I worked just shy of 40 years with oil and gas, working at keeping equipment working
(Service Technician).

Thanks to, Ralph Nader in the 1970’s


This country has capped billions of gallons of oil in the ground; just clean up the sulfur and use it if you must?

Why did Paul Ryan choose not to run for re-election? What will be the consequences? Your guess is as good as mine — literally. I can speculate based on what I read in the papers, but so can you.

On the other hand, I do have some insight into how Ryan — who has always been an obvious con man, to anyone willing to see — came to become speaker of the House. And that’s a story that reflects badly not just on Ryan himself, not just on his party, but also on self-proclaimed centrists and the news media, who boosted his career through their malfeasance. Furthermore, the forces that brought Ryan to a position of power are the same forces that have brought America to the edge of a constitutional crisis.

About Ryan: Incredibly, I’m seeing some news reports about his exit that portray him as a serious policy wonk and fiscal hawk who, sadly, found himself unable to fulfill his mission in the Trump era. Unbelievable. Look, the single animating principle of everything Ryan did and proposed was to comfort the comfortable while afflicting the afflicted. Can anyone name a single instance in which his supposed concern about the deficit made him willing to impose any burden on the wealthy, in which his supposed compassion made him willing to improve the lives of the poor? Remember, he voted against the Simpson-Bowles debt commission proposal not because of its real flaws, but because it would raise taxes and fail to repeal Obamacare. And his “deficit reduction” proposals were always frauds. The revenue loss from tax cuts always exceeded any explicit spending cuts, so the pretense of fiscal responsibility came entirely from “magic asterisks”: extra revenue from closing unspecified loopholes, reduced spending from cutting unspecified programs. I called him a flimflam man back in 2010, and nothing he has done since has called that judgment into question.

So how did such an obvious con artist get a reputation for seriousness and fiscal probity? Basically, he was the beneficiary of ideological affirmative action.

Even now, in this age of Trump, there are a substantial number of opinion leaders — especially, but not only, in the news media — whose careers, whose professional brands, rest on the notion that they stand above the political fray. For such people, asserting that both sides have a point, that there are serious, honest people on both left and right, practically defines their identity.

Yet the reality of 21st-century U.S. politics is one of asymmetric polarization in many dimensions. One of these dimensions is intellectual: While there are some serious, honest conservative thinkers, they have no influence on the modern Republican Party. What’s a centrist to do? The answer, all too often, has involved what we might call motivated gullibility. Centrists who couldn’t find real examples of serious, honest conservatives lavished praise on politicians who played that role on TV. Paul Ryan wasn’t actually very good at faking it; true fiscal experts ridiculed his “mystery meat” budgets. But never mind: The narrative required that the character Ryan played exist, so everyone pretended that he was the genuine article.
