Forbes: China Can Sink American Ships Faster Than America Can Replace Them
During a long war with China, the U.S. Navy probably wouldn’t be able to work fast enough to fix or replace the ships the Chinese sank or damaged.
That’s not alarmism. Rather, it’s the cool conclusion of two rather boring studies by industrial and military groups in recent months.
After decades of government neglect, American shipyards barely can build and repair the ships the U.S. fleet already has, to say nothing of the additional ships it would need—quickly—to keep fighting a determined, high-tech foe with major industrial resources of its own.

Ever watch a movie set in New York City and you notice if the WTC is there or not there. Of course you have to wonder when you watch "Escape from New York."
Now if you watch the 2006 film "Night at the Museum", a comedy, you will always be reminded of the shit Democrats are putting us through.
Teddy Roosevelt was the 1st president to invite African Americans to dine at the White House. This is in the middle of Jim Crow. Yet he did it.
The Panama Canal?
Have any asshole Democrats actually bothered to read Panamanian history or any history?
Panama was to Columbia what West Virginia was to Virginia. There were several revolts and other incidents before it finally split. Columbia did not take care of business.
State of division: how West Virginia broke away from Virginia

"The political struggle between federalists and centralists that followed independence from Spain resulted in a changing administrative and jurisdictional status for Panama. Under centralism Panama was established as the Department of the Isthmus and during federalism as the Sovereign State of Panama."
Bogata did not do enough. Revolts, secessionist movement were happening in Panama for 70 years before Roosevelt stepped on the world state.
"Lorenzo died during the Thousand Days War shortly after which Panama gained its separation after many different attempts dating back to 1830."
I guess any sequel to Night at the Museum can do with out Teddy, which is just as well since Robin Williams is gone.
Democrats are horrible.
