25th Amendment... President Trump ordered the U.S. Navy on Thursday to remove the electromagnetic catapult system on aircraft carriers to launch fighter planes and revert back to using catapult systems, a move that officials and experts argue would raise costs in the process. *** The swap in fighter jet launch system was panned by some Senate Democrats, telling the president to “stick to what he knows best — ballrooms, bankruptcy and bulls—.”

Well, that's not good because some lawmakers want to remove some benefits. But also, Vet Secretary Collins is more interested in pleasing trump who does not have the best interest of veterans in mind. What a conundrum... A month after House Republicans failed to pass a veterans health bill, lawmakers are meeting behind closed doors to try to get the legislation back on track. But there’s one key person they haven’t invited to the table: Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins. Collins and his team at the VA have been excluded from recent meetings on Capitol Hill because some senior congressional Republicans and Trump officials blamed him when the planned House vote was abruptly abandoned in July, according to multiple sources who were involved in crafting the legislation.

This thread is about concerns to living conditions on Navy ships... Our base in Bahrain was hit hard by Iran. That is the base that brings our mail and other supplies to the ships. In addition, some U.S. allies have restricted or denied the use of their military bases and airspace for operations connected to the war in Iran. This makes it more difficult to bring supplies in the Middle East much less Bahrain. These nations cited a lack of prior consultation, concerns over international law, and a desire to avoid regional escalation. It did not help that trump has insulted some of the countries and their leaders and added tariffs to these countries as well. Two of these allies, Spain & Italy, have large US Navy bases but are now limited by the host countries. The bottom line is that it is true that it is harder to get supplies to the Middle East. This failure falls under our commander-in-chief - donald trump.
