Trump's Second Term

Canada is reconsidering the purchase of F-35s even though payment for the first 16 aircraft has already been made.
This was stated by Canada’s Defense Minister Bill Blair after he was reappointed as part of Prime Minister Carney’s new cabinet.
Canada is actively looking for alternatives to American aircraft including the Rafale, Typhoon and future Tempest II.

Also turkey has submitted a request to purchase 40 Typhoon fighter jets from BAE Systems.
A request has been sent to the MOF of the which had to clear any deal.

On the one hand, the lesson that must never be forgotten about the Nazis is that they were not monsters, they were entirely ordinary people who behaved like monsters. On the other hand they did not murder millions because they were 'public sector workers'. They murdered millions because they were blindly loyal to a charismatic lunatic who demanded absolute loyalty to his insane vision of making his country great again.

On the other other hand, Musk seems to be having some kind of a breakdown, claiming the people he's cheerfully chainsawing are Nazis. What a ◊◊◊◊.

History shows clearly that it wasn't bureaucrats who conceived and "operated" the Holocaust. It was the German military, particularly the SS. German businesses, i.e. industrialists like Musk, took advantage of the available slave labour pool, not bureaucrats. Henry Ford was so on board too. So Muskrat's understanding of the history of Nazism and the Holocaust seems to be entirely faulty, not to mention utterly repulsive.

I've seen reports that if the tariff war escalates, Canada is threatening to block U.S. access to Pornhub, which they own. That would be a sure way to get the Republican admin to cave. (Or the even Democratic one, if that were the case.)

What they need to do is double the access price per view (or whatever measure is used) for American consumers...without notice or providing a warning. Result: Canada gets EVEN MORE income from America!

It seems a news article about a black Medal of Honor winner has been deleted from the DOD website.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

That redirects to a url with "deimedal-of-honor" and a 404. If you are happy with browser dev tools you can see the redirects.

Posted about it on the Diversity Equity and Inclusion and merit in employment thread.

Another black MOH award, Dwight H. Johnson has been erased altogether, you need to dig to find him.
Link to his MOH citation now just says "Bad Request" unless you go in to the Vietnam (A - L Index)

They are completely erasing history.

What next, chisel names off the wall at Arlington?

Dig up their bones and throw them in a dumpster?

Johnson's citation reads like a movie script! amazing.

Available on his Wikipedia entry

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.
Specialist 5 Johnson, a tank driver with Company B, was a member of a reaction force moving to aid other elements of his platoon, which was in heavy contact with a battalion size North Vietnamese force. Specialist Johnson's tank, upon reaching the point of contact, threw a track and became immobilized.
Realizing that he could do no more as a driver, he climbed out of the vehicle, armed only with a .45 calibre pistol. Despite intense hostile fire, Specialist Johnson killed several enemy soldiers before he had expended his ammunition.
Returning to his tank through a heavy volume of antitank rocket, small arms and automatic weapons fire, he obtained a sub-machine gun with which to continue his fight against the advancing enemy. Armed with this weapon, Specialist Johnson again braved deadly enemy fire to return to the centre of the ambush site where he courageously eliminated more of the determined foe.
Engaged in extremely close combat when the last of his ammunition was expended, he killed an enemy soldier with the stock end of his submachine gun. Now weaponless, Specialist Johnson ignored the enemy fire around him, climbed into his platoon sergeant's tank, extricated a wounded crewmember and carried him to an armoured personnel carrier.
He then returned to the same tank and assisted in firing the main gun until it jammed. In a magnificent display of courage, Specialist Johnson exited the tank and again armed only with a .45 calibre pistol, he engaged several North Vietnamese troops in close proximity to the vehicle. Fighting his way through devastating fire and remounting his own immobilized tank, he remained fully exposed to the enemy as he bravely and skillfully engaged them with the tank's externally-mounted .50 calibre machine gun; where he remained until the situation was brought under control.
Specialist Johnson's profound concern for his fellow soldiers, at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
