Some lawmakers have questioned the need for a separate Space Force and the amount of money allocated to its creation in Fiscal Year 2020 – $40 million – was significantly less than the $72.4 million sought by the Pentagon.

“We will phase development according to what the budget provides. Yes, it was less than requested, but we will quite ably work with the amount that was appropriated,” Barrett said.

What amount was appropriated?

72 million doesn’t seem like much for a brand new Space Force.

$15.4 billion

Sure, for 2021. How much was allotted to get Space Force started the first year?

$40 million.

When did they Enact Space Force? 1960?

So what you’re saying is it only took 40 million to start up but 15 billion to keep it funded in 2021?

Trump must be skimming off the top.

They moved a bunch of Air Force programs to the Space Force. I dislike the idea of militarizing space. This will invite the Russians and Chinese to do the same.

Trump moved hq’s out of Colorado to Alabama today. Not sure why.


Pakistan suffered a power outage a few days ago.

This is old news but I wanted to post it because it was fact-checked and found to be a conspiracy theory. :roll_eyes: even though there seems to be an affidavit in Mark Meadows possession.

“She also alleged that recent arrests of employees at Leonardo were related to the incident, and that the plan was orchestrated by former President Barack Obama, with help from former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and the CIA.”

Some people say the arrests were disguised as charges stemming from hacking events that took place in 2017. That that was a coverup for what was really interference in the 2020 election.

“We are in total madness. Those responsible for these lies received pardon – a kind of grace – from Trump a few weeks ago, ”Matteo Renzi wrote in his e-news replying to the unlikely accusations by Trump supporters. “I’m trying with my lawyers to ask anyway to bring these gentlemen before the Italian justice. What they say about me is crazy: we just needed them to accuse me of international conspiracies. But even more serious is that these gentlemen get away with it ”.

I personally don’t think Michael Flynn got away with anything but he’s entitled to his opinion.

“Navarro added that Amazon initiated a “brutal kill by taking the cloud away as a small company” because it was no longer able to access its data. “Effectively, Amazon wiped out that company,” he said.”

Biden needs 1,900,000,000,000. I think he should take it from the 2T misplaced Pentagon funds from 2001.

“It is not illegal to collaborate with foreign researchers. It is illegal to lie about it," Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling told reporters.

If he had nothing to hide, why did he lie about it? People who represent college universities aren’t very bright are they?


Facebook agrees. Name calling is considered bullying and anyone who participates in name calling should be banned. What a bunch of Communists.

Edit to change the name, lest I be corrected by a bunch of bullies.

Interesting. I couldn’t tell if Rutte has also resigned or if it’s just his cabinet.

the whole cabinet, only the minister of economic affairs/climate (eric wiebes) resigned (and a couple days earlier the leader of our labour party (lodewijk archer)

new elections were gonna take place in march anyways so unfortunately nothing really changes and most likely rutte will be back as prime minister by then

I’ve seen more diversity at Klan rallies.
