Well, if Mr. Trump is elected, he will at least simplify one confusing aspect of current life.<\/p>\n

Fort Liberty in North Carolina could revert to its former name honoring an unsuccessful Confederate general if former President Donald Trump is reelected in November.\u00a0 Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“An unsuccessful Confederate general”…geez, guys, kick a guy when he’s down for 150 years, why don’t you? Even if it is the truth.<\/p>\n

Little ambivalent on this one – I’m old enough to prefer the names I grew up with, but they could have done better than ‘Liberty.’\u00a0 “Benavidez’ maybe?<\/p>\n

H\/t to Jeff on this one.<\/p>\n

And PINO Joe promoted KJP.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre received a promotion to senior adviser to the president Monday.<\/p>\n

“Karine has been a trusted advisor to the President and all of us here at the White House since day one. Her counsel will be critical to get as much done as possible for the American people in the coming months,” White House chief of staff Jeff Zients told ABC News.<\/p>\n

ABC News reported Jean-Pierre would begin the role “effective immediately” while still maintaining her job as press secretary. This would be the first time in decades a press secretary has also served as a senior adviser.\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like the kind of promotion where you don’t get a raise to accompany it. Or, maybe there is a HUGE raise –\u00a0 for slinging the lies<\/del> taking the kits for two years . Who knows?<\/p>\n

Faulty weld update – it’s been tossed around that there were “intentionally faulty welds” done at\u00a0 Norfolk for the last couple of weeks, and two ships had been identified as having\u00a0 faulty, albeit non-threatening, weld faults. That estimate was a little low.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than two dozen Navy ships — including three that are currently in service — received faulty welds at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, the service’s top civilian leader told lawmakers last week.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Congress dated Oct. 3, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said that poor welds were found on the aircraft carrier USS George Washington as well as the attack submarines USS Hyman G. Rickover and USS New Jersey. In addition, the welding issues were identified on 23 more ships — a mix of new construction, ships in maintenance and aircraft carriers undergoing refueling.<\/p>\n

Despite the back and forth of letters and even a public statement from HII’s leadership, specific details such as how many welds are in question on any one ship or their location on the vessels remains unknown. Military.com II<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Heck of a difference between 2 and 26. BTW, HII is the primary builder of the Ford-class aircraft carriers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
