"Lest we forget, Holder was found in criminal contempt of Congress in a bipartisan 255-67 vote. Back then, most House Democrats didn’t find contempt of Congress to be an impeachable offense. Don't forget, House Democrats marched off the floor during the Holder contempt vote."
The Trump administration pulled funding in its 2021 budget for Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military news organization that has published a daily newspaper continuously since World War II for troops stationed around the world.
At a Thursday press conference in Belgium, Defense Secretary Mark Esper explained the rationale behind the decision to withhold approximately $15.5 million in funding for Stars and Stripes.
“So, we trimmed the support for Stars and Stripes because we need to invest that money, as we did with many, many other programs, into higher-priority issues,” Esper said.

The French philosopher Montesquieu wrote in 1748: “The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.” We are seeing his warning vindicated. President Trump is increasingly acting as a tyrannical (and erratic) prince. And yet much of the public is so inured to his misconduct that his latest assaults on the rule of law are met with a collective shrug. Public passivity is Trump’s secret weapon as he pursues his authoritarian agenda. “I have the right to do whatever I want,” he says, and the lack of pushback seems to confirm it.
Mr. Trump has always been convinced that he is surrounded by people who cannot be trusted. But in the 10 days since he was acquitted by the Senate, he has grown more vocal about it and turned paranoia into policy, purging his White House of more career officials, bringing back loyalists and tightening the circle around him to a smaller and more faithful coterie of confidants.
The impeachment case against Mr. Trump, built largely on the testimony of officials who actually worked for him, reinforced his view that the government is full of leakers, plotters, whistle-blowers and traitors. Career professionals who worked in government before he arrived are viewed as “Obama holdovers” even if they were there long before President Barack Obama. Testifying under subpoena was, Mr. Trump has made clear, “insubordinate.”

You can get banned by from the site by mentioning the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). They are of the opinion that military budget are made up out of thin air. Most of the do not debate. They merely have this emo primal scream.
ACICS has been around since 1912. A final decision has not been made. It is under review. Personally I would not send my kids to an ACICS accredited school. Public universities are better, but that is a low bar depending on the college or major a student takes.
On the list of things to do it ranks under trade deficit, budget deficit, border enforcement, etc.
The more things get solved then the bigger issue this becomes. It is a Pareto analysis thing. I know Pareto is a dirty word to to a Left-winger, but it is the truth.
I have been involved in numerous computer science projects since the 1980s, as well as developing numerous web projects since 1996.
These blogs are a summation of all the information that I read and catalog pertaining to the subjects that interest me.

DEEP STATE JUSTICE: Same DOJ Prosecutor Who Let Andrew McCabe Walk Gave a Sweetheart Deal to Imran Awan

Democrats are a clear & present danger to the Republic.
They do not have a clue as to cyber security.
If Imran Awan and his 2 brothers were not engaged in espionage, why did his 2 bros flee to Pakistan?
If I were the Russians I would be enraged! Pakistan intelligence gets American secrets for penny on the dollars compared to what the Russians pay.
Democrats worse than Satan himself.

Engrish Prof recycles a day old post. He never defended the original post, because he can't.

Why should the military duplicate in the Stars and Stripes what commands at the regiment and higher levels all do?
The private sector also provides military oriented news.
World has changed a lot in the 75 years (3/4 ths of a century) since the end of WW2.
ComuNAZI has not kept up with the times.
ComuNAZI is a term coined during WW2 by the Jewish community. It accurately describes Leftwingers and nutters.

This sounds like a USCIS/ICE trap. It happened last year.

Can I say I am disappointed in the squirrel and its shoddy work?
NO.
Just a word to the wise.
USA Today is to newspaper industry what CNN is to the news cable industry.
