Entered Service: 1980
Manufacturer: General Dynamics Land Systems
Cost: $6.21 million*

The M1 Abrams is a massive military tank that has been in use since the 1980s. This tank was developed by what was then called Chrysler Defense which is now titled General Dynamics Land Systems. It is one of the heaviest tanks the US uses, weighing in at sixty-two metric tons.

It was named after famed General Creighton Abrams. The M1A2 replaced the good old M60 tank. It is used by the Army and Marines, and it has features such as a multi fuel turbine engine, Chobham armor, fire control systems, and a blowout compartment. It also has NBC protection for safety.

This 40 year old tank is still equal to the newest and best tank the Russian are producing. It’s quite possible that in another 10 years tanks will be obsolete due to infantry anti-tank missiles that can destroy a $6 million dollar tank with a $50,000 bullet.

The widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Wednesday said that a story in the Atlantic claimed President Trump didn’t want to visit a French war dead cemetery because it was filled with losers and suckers.  McCain said this was the “last straw” in leading to her endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

However, since this story was first published the reporter has come under fire for making false statements.  Jeffry Goldberg (Atlantic) claimed Trump cancelled the trip, but in fact the trip was  cancelled by heavy rain and this was a key part in Goldberg’s story.   The next and most damning part of Goldberg’s story is Trump’s alleged statement about losers and suckers claimed by an anonymous source.

The White House had said at the time the decision was made because of poor weather for flying Marine One and the fact that the cemetery was too far a distance for a motorcade to drive.  

One of the sources who refuted the Atlantic’s reporting is not a fan of Trump. Both sources said that Trump was upset about not being able to go to Aisne-Marne and said they had never heard Trump refer to war dead at Aisne-Marne or in the battle of Belau Wood as “losers” or “suckers.”

WHITE HOUSE ATTACKS ‘FALSE’ ATLANTIC STORY ABOUT TRUMP INSULTING DEAD SOLDIERS ‘WHAT A DISGRACE’

According to Atlantic’s Jeffry Goldberg, President Trump was overheard by his anonymous source saying he wanted to cancel the trip to the cemetery because “it’s filled with losers.”  However, there were many people around the president at this alleged time and nobody else heard that.  

“At least fifteen Trump administration officials who were with Trump on that trip have now disputed the Atlantic report, including former national security adviser John Bolton.”

FOIA documents have also definitively proved that Trump’s visit to the cemetery was canceled due to weather. When Goldberg was asked about evidence that the cancelation was due to inclement weather, he admitted that it was likely true.  Goldberg refused to name the source of his story that was disputed by 15 witnesses.  Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, admitted that a key detail of his article about Trump “could be wrong” during an interview with CNN on Sunday.

Goldberg’s credibility has been challenged by a preponderance of evidence that indicates the entire story was false; yet the liberal media is still using it to garner headlines, like the one with Cindy McCain, a long time adversary of Trump’s.  

Mrs. McCain sellout to the democrats doesn’t make her credibility look too good either.  Cindy McCain should not support Biden based on a well known lie or she is going to go down in history as just another useful fool for the left.

In October 2018, just under two years before the deadly Bear Fire leveled Berry Creek, the community was selected to receive an $836,000 state grant for pruning vegetation and clearing fuel from potential fire spots.  However, strict environmental red tape delayed the grant and in the meantime Berry Creek was burned to the ground.  Can’t blame this on climate change – this one belongs to the democrats.

Strangled by delays and red tape, the forest management project was never completed, said local officials, who are now left to stew over the what-ifs.

“I can’t guarantee that it would’ve stopped the fire, but it would have given them a place to fight it,” said Bill Connelly, a Butte County supervisor representing the district that includes Berry Creek. “It very much could have made a difference.”

The grant was meant to go toward vegetation thinning and pruning projects near Bald Rock and Rockefeller roads — key evacuation routes — and Lake Madrone, an area that became ground zero of the North Complex Fire.

The delay, Butte County officials said, was due to stringent environmental reviews, despite this being exactly the kind of fire-prevention work at the forefront of the state’s wildfire conversation.

It’s impossible to know whether the grant could have saved Berry Creek from a disaster like the North Complex, which has burned more than 273,000 acres and been blamed for 15 deaths — but officials said it might have at least given the community a fighting chance.

Police in Louisville, Kentucky, have arrested a man for shooting three men dead in a bar. The killer apparently struck without motive, and some commentators have accused the press of burying the story.

Foreword - The Constitution of the United States says clearly in Article II, Section 2: ” [The President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint…Judges of the Supreme Court.”   President Trump is empowered by the Constitution, therefore those persons who threaten violence to prevent a top government representative from carrying out his duty are guilty of sedition.  18 U.S. Code § 2384 says, “If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.”

Pie G. made a bold prediction earlier in the article titled, You Ain’t Seen Nothin Yet.” Read that first if you haven’t already then read this.  Look’s like Pie has a crystal ball.

LIBERAL writers and academics have threatened to burn down Congress if Republicans press ahead with plans to appoint a new Supreme Court judge before the election.

A former CNN host was among prominent figures who appeared to encourage violent uprising following the death of left-wing hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg.    

House of Cards producer Beau Willimon, shown below, threatened to ‘shut this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment’

 

Former CNN host Reza Aslan joined several other verified Twitter accounts in threatening violence if Senate Republicans attempt to fill the Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Over our dead bodies. Literally,” Aslan wrote in response to a tweet saying Sen. Mitch McConnell intends to fill Ginsberg’s seat, shortly after it was announced Friday that she had died at the age of 87.

Aslan also tweeted, “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f–king thing down.”

“If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots,” Washington Post and GQ writer Laura Bassett said.

Justice Ginsburg’s death on Friday left a vacancy on the Supreme Court – setting up an explosive battle over one of the most contentious issues in American politics.

Democrats are furious after Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell suggested the GOP would hold an early vote to confirm Donald Trump’s pick to replace her with a conservative.

Outspoken Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even suggested Democrats would try to pack the court with liberals by increasing the number of judges from the current nine.

As fury raged in Washington, high-profile leftists hinted at violent insurrection in posts on social media.

Trump-bashing former CNN presenter Reza Aslan tweeted to his 293,000 followers: “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down.”

Screenwriter Beau Willimon, who produced House of Cards and is the president of the Writers Guild of America, East, also vowed action.  He told his 164,000 followers: “We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election.”

‘THERE WILL BE RIOTS’

Emmett Macfarlane, a professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada, tweeted: “Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS.”

Political commentator Laura Bassett, who writes for GQ and the Washington Post, said: “If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots.”

Daddy Files author Aaron Gouveia tweeted: “F*** no. Burn it all down.”

Last night Ocasio-Cortez said Republicans were “violating” Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish that she should not be replaced until the next president is sworn in.

The firebrand congresswoman stoked the row still further by saying Democrats should “absolutely” consider packing the court.

She said: “We should leave all options on the table, including the number of justices that are on the Supreme Court.”

Democrat nominee Joe Biden is due to make a speech on the subject later today, but has so far resisted Trump’s call for him to name his own shortlist.
