You nailed it my Sister. What good is the wall when Mexicans will dig a tunnel under it like they are wont to do.There is infrastructural decay in America which needs immediate attention but Mr Bigot is so focused on his hatred of minorities that he can't see what is really needed in America. His bigotry is showing big time. There is only one Uncle Tom ( Ben Carson ) and no single Hispanic in his cabinet. That's a shame in a multi cultural society like US. The clowns who don't know squat about America are supporting an overt racist who will hang them on a cross if no one is watching. You wonder with guys like this all over Nigeria, the country is doomed.
I am so happy he shut the stupid hispanics out from his cabinet. He got quite an amount of votes from those ones.

Old Hispanic migrants are all comfy with him, till he will turn more hell fury on them and he will surely do. The Mexicans brouhaha would have given them an insight. Also we African Americans not concerned too with our record low turn out for voting, we should be ready for more brazen attack from law enforcement while the presidency give the law enforcement guys thumbs up and militarization of our neighborhoods.Overall we as Americans and the world in general are screwed. We are dealing here with a maniac with worrying ego and overtly ignorant and sadistic. He continued to lie and spread misinformation even in the face of overwhelming facts and truth like the birthers theory, central park 7 and now the issue of illegals voting. I left the country to take up a transfer in Norway, but I am still scared knowing that my folks are still back in that place with the amount of hate going round and the utterly useless gobsmacked idiot running the affairs of the nation.

I don't begrudge her on her wealth, or that of the CEOs. But she likely pays her staff way more than the average CEOs.
In fact, the average US CEO earns over 300 times the salary of mid-level worker in his/her company. But a Europe-based CEO 'only' earns 40 times the amount his average worker makes.

I do not think that anyone should complain of how much a CEO earns or how much they pay their staffs. The left complains about almost everything

If we want to go back to being fiscally conservative, let's start with the Military, too much wasteful spending there. With regards to the F-35 it's too late in stage go outrightly cancel it. Other countries will be pissed especially Israel, Bibi has been waiting on those birds to flex muscles with Russia in Syria.

It won't be an easy task, he could however reduce the number of orders. I don't get why we have three variants for each of the air fighting forces. That's where the real cost is.

You guys have zero understanding of military procument and fail to understand that all the branches have different objectives and beaurocracy

Marine ships are smaller and the operate from beach heads which is why the want a vertical take off jet. If that is the only design, airforce's airstrip will be useless and the version that goes on big carriers need to be modified for sea operations.

If u want to take out a single version, you will create more waste you are trying to prevent in the first place.

“They’re sneaky, dirty rats,” Trump told Fox News's Sean Hannity in an interview airing Thursday night. "These are bad people.”

“They blow people up in a shopping center, and they blow people up in a church,” Trump added of the radical Islamic terrorist group. "[They] are sick and demented, and we’re going to win.”

“We have evil that lurks around the corner without the uniforms,” he said. "The people we’re going against, they don’t wear uniforms.”

“When you’re fighting Germany and they had their uniforms and you’re fighting Japan and they had their uniforms and they had their flags on the plane and the whole thing — we are fighting sneaky rats right now, ” Trump added, referencing World War II.

Trump vowed during his inaugural speech last week that the U.S. would spearhead efforts to eliminate radical Islamic terrorism.


“We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones — and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth, ” he said during his Jan. 20 address.

Do you guys think that America can pull off building the US-Mexico wall without financial support from Mexico because it seems to me that mexico will not be interested in paying such a huge amount of money for something that will not be beneficial to them. From what i gathered, the wall will not cost anything less than $50 billion. Can America afford it?

If America can spend billions instigating color coded revolutions and fanning the fangs of chaos and war in different countries across the globe, why can't they afford a border wall?

Nothing can stop them if they truly intend to, whether Mexico pays or not.

Besides, the wall doesn't cost that much as been alleged.

Trump wants to cancel the F-35 fighter jet development, as an Aerospace Engineer, I'm not sure how I feel about this.


Are you serious about this? You mean he wants to cancel the project that never works? Well, its long overdue.... cool. Even the Canadian Prime Minister have said it before now that the plane simply don't work.Its a waste of Money....Lots of people have been drinking too much Kool aid from MSM covens to realise that American taxpayers are being taking for a dubious ride by the establishment...

Trump ain't buying that glitches excuses of a thing any longer.

Just pull the plug off the project and nail the Lockheed Mount-liars once and for all. You would be saving America billions of Dollars going down the drain...

I'm all for it.

Congress wasted 100s of billions of $$ on useless weapons programs that this country doesn't need. You don't need too much sophistication to defeat the likes of ISIS and other terrorist groups. It's like the $1bn a-piece B-52 bomber that has only been used a grand total of FIVE times in combat. The US has 20 B-52 stealth bombers currently. These weapons were designed to battle the old Soviet Union, and are mostly unnecessary in the fight against radical jihadi terrorists.

It's no wonder the average starting salary for engineers working in the Military Industrial Complex is around $84,000/year. A sizeable chunk of those billions go into their pockets. Full disclosure, my bro works in one of those companies.

If I talk now, some people would start calling me names. I don't know if they are happy that the innocent and hardworking American taxpayers are been taking for a crude and dubious ride. A plane costing billions of dollars and yet doesn't work, is something worth sheering and boasting about to some people.

The cost of that plane alone is what really piss me off, plus the fact that it doesn't work. When the Canadian Premier said this, he wasn't mincing words becos he have his own military experts, advisers and engineers who knew the truth about the project. But when you point out this facts, some irredeemable MSM kool aid drinkers will start calling you names. Its like they are happy that the American people are being fooled and duped.

Like you said, the project is unnecessary but since the Russians and the Chinese are also towing the same line, it may not be totally uneccassy after all, just that the dubiousness in the price and overrating of the bird is what really get me angry.

Lockheed Martins are crooks but I don't blame them, they have their agents in Congress and in Pentagon as well. So, its easy for them to continue the bleeping of the American taxpayers.

Did Benjamin Netanyahu tells you that he would be able to flex muscles with Russia in Syria if he gat some F-35s? Don't make me laugh....Those planes will get shot down before they'll even Mount the air... Quit living in fantasy..

Lol....Canada is a weapon manufacturing nation and some of their gears and equipments are of top quality. Yeah, they might not be up there yet like the bigger boys in every dept of technology, but certainly, they are good at what they do, and that your PM doesn't have to be a pro to know that the f-35 is a money-wasting project....even my late grandmother knew that fact to be truth.grin

I will agree with you on that. The wall is needless as the drug cartels have dozens of holes more than rabbits that they can simply use to move their businesses across. If there is one thing I have learned in cross border activities, it is that you can never totally secure your country against human traffickers and illegals. Just like rabbits, they always find their way in. The only positive side is that the influx can be control to a certain level. Otherwise, its money spent foolishly.

Calm yourself down and be the Brightwood that you are, Mister.. So, because some jobs would be lost means that the right thing can't be done, Lol.Do you know how much the US government have spent on that project alone? The present cost (and still counting) is enough to build 5 new different companies that would aadequately absolve all the said jobs you were talking about, and many openings would still be available. And I believe you also know that majority of those job owners aren't actually American citizens but foreigners, huh?

Let's not be blinded by sentiment... What is wrong is wrong, and doing something about it is always the required norm. Pulling the plug is simply my suggestion, but other avenues can be exploited to stop this daylight robbery. Its only a fool that will see bugs on his bed and refuse to deal with them just because the baby is lying on it.
It is this type of logic that has put America's debt where it is today..uncontrolled and reckless fiscal policy that only benefit the 1%ters.

Talking about nations that placed orders, I believe the US is not the only party to the project. They can sort out other avenue to address the situation. If the US, like you said, is considering terminating its part of the contract, its becos they knew they have the right to do so. In the law of contract, there are expressed and implied terms, rights and duties binding each party to the said contract. Therefore, if one party is planning to repudiate or exit the contract, its becos he has the right to do so vis-à-vis its obligations under the context of the said contract.

Appleyard, you are absolutely right on point. The money should go to improve the infrastructure because a lot of things were neglected because of politics during Obama's time. We have bridges falling over like the one in Minnesota few years ago and the Flint, Michigan water incident where so many Americans died from drinking poisonous water. So many cases like that all over the country and our clownish CIC is so fixated on building a worthless and ineffective wall that wouldn't stop undocumented Mexicans from coming to the US.

IAF's F-16s already play peek a boo in the air with Sukhoi flankers over Syrian airspace, the F-35 in unmatched by any fighter, in the hands of Israel with additional technology that's a bad bird to toy with, Putin ain't gonna shoot shit down if he doesn't want his Tartus naval base or airspace in Latakia smoked to ashes.
