Right away MSNBC got it wrong when the said U.S. military aircraft going to or from the Middle East uses airfields in mainland Europe. No they don't. Some do but most refuel in the UK when in transit to or from the Middle East. How would I know that ? Maybe it's a poor kept secret or I keep up with what's going on with in our military services. Every time my son deployed to the Middle East three times his FA-18 squadron refueled in the UK. The last time something went wrong, a complete electrical failure on one of the FA-18 C aircraft. Now I don't remember MSNBC getting their panties all wadded up when President Obama and FLOTUS Obama used two separate planes to fly to L.A. on the same day at the same time. Or why Malia and Sasha had a 24 car Secret Service motorcade.
So, why did this C-17 land at a civilian airport in Scotland and pay retail for fuel instead of mid-air refueling as is standard operating procedure?
Why did Obama's A.G. Loretta Lynch Gulfstream land at a civilian airport in Phoenix, Az to refuel a plane that didn't need refueling and Bill Clinton just happens to be on the tarmac ? FYI: Refueling a C-17 in the air isn't SOP. Cheaper to land to refuel than sending up a KC-135 or KC-10 to refuel the C-17.
Especially at an airport that remaining open for business is critical to the business at one of your golf courses located close to that airport. Trump accomplished two birds with one stone. 1. If the airport closed people would have greater difficulty getting to his golf course so buying their fuel helped them stay in business. 2. Having the American tax payer pay the cost of lodging at his golf course located near the airport put another nice piece of change in trump's pocket.
If it were have been President Obama, it would have been six C-17's refueling. I only participated on this thread because MSNBC started with fake news claiming that U.S. military aircraft in transit to or from the Middle East refueled on mainland Europe. No they don't they, refuel in the UK. So if MSNBC starts out with a lie, how many more lies were in the witch hunt news story ?
I know what wasn't breaking news and the MSM gave it little coverage if any on the mainland. The Obama's vacation resulted in the Death of 12 U.S. Marines. Report: Marines Link Obama Vacation to Deadly Helo Crash excerpt:
Remember when the Obama's went on one of their numerous vacations at Martha Vineyards and they forgot to bring along... Barracks basket balls. The family dog. And Valerie Jarrett who over slept after a night of binge drinking. So Obama as CnC ordered that a Marine V-22 Ospreys fly back to the White House and pick up Barracks basketballs, and the two dogs. First dog Bo and POTUS basketballs are airlifted to Obama holiday home Bo, the US First Family's waterdog, gets off the Marine helicopter at Martha's Vineyard
Exactly - There are all kinds of things happening in the world - in which the US is involved - that are having an genuine effect on the lives of citizens in the US - things that have an impact on our long term security - both military and economic. In some cases - some of the moves made by the Trump Admin are worthy of criticism - or at least should be questioned and issues discussed. For example - Things such as Iran Sanctions - not so much the sanctions themselves but the fact the Trump admin has threatened our allies - and other nations - with the nuclear option (blocking their international banks out international system of payments) - an action which has caused a huge backlash - one which is having serious consequences right now - and huge potential future consequences. But lets not talk about that - Lets talk about some military plane that happened to make an unscheduled stop - for reasons we do not know - and whip it up into a huge issue - replete with all kind of speculation - in an effort to bash the President.
Much better than your absent source. But just because your not paranoid doesn't mean they all aren't out to debunk you. https://www.factcheck.org/2010/09/bos-private-plane/
The U.S. Air Force has stopped and refueled at Prestwick Airport 20 miles from Dirty Donalds Turnberry Golf Course Hotel 629 times since October 2017 spending over $11 Million Dollars in refueling charges.These stops are much more frequent and costing a lot more than ever before,and so far our Defense department is refusing to release pertinent documentation to congress and the media.There are also incidents of Air Force guardsmen travelling the 20 miles to stay at the Dirty Donald hotel bypassing countless cheaper lodging along the way.The meal allowance allotted them was insufficient to cover the bill at the Turnberry hotel.
Yup, and once again we have a completely 100% fabricated example of Fake News. People who are Globalists/Socialists/Communists/Progressives will use even the headline of this article as an attack against Trump. Without actually know any details, doing any research or in many cases even reading the article. This vitriolic hatred has created more and more of the country that has a deep disdain for this new 'Leftist' ideology. As they see them supporting Antifa and being against the American flag, they have no choice but to be afraid. Without the massive Clinton Foundation, the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists/Communists will be at best a 3/1 disadvantage. Compare this to 2016 where they had a 10/1 advantage, I don't see how this isn't going to be a landslide. In my personal opinion I think the Democrats likely future is where Tuslsi Gabbard continues to move to the center, attacking the Leftist ideology. A landslide loss gains Trump the Presidency and solid control of both houses. It looks like Republicans will pick up a +2 in the Senate, the House is hard to predict but the momentum is solidly on the Right. Certain States the DNC has pulled out of completely. As 20204 comes around, the fight will be Tulsi and the moderates against whichever "Squad" Progressive the Corporate Socialists of Goggle/Apple/Facebook/Etc decide to market to the public. But by that time, the media control, which is fading fast with things like ThingProgress.com that just went out of business last week, will likely be gone. Every Liberal News publication, of which the majority were funded by Soros in 2009, is losing money and shedding jobs. Conservative media is growing at a 7 to 1 pace to Liberal Media and the pace has been accelerating to the Right. Conservatives are claiming "It is a new Conservative Age" and so far the statistics all show that to be correct, but I am so to believe any news source being what we have been through in the last decade. While there are two versions of "The News" going on, everything is smoke and mirrors until 2020 when "We The People" will be able to prove which story is telling the truth. Whichever story wins in 2020, is likely the side who is going to get to write what the hell happened int he last 20 years.
