And how much will it cost in time and dollars to get this”free” plane up to DoD / Secret service standards, sweep it for super high tech spyware and clear it mechanically for defense in a nuclear armed conflict?
Accepting a temporary aircraft from Qatar to replace 40-year-old Air Force One models isn’t a scandal—it’s a strategic win. The current fleet costs taxpayers billions in maintenance while failing to meet modern security standards. This arrangement secures a newer platform at zero cost to Americans, bypassing Boeing’s delays and inflated contracts.
Critics howling about “ethics” stayed silent when the previous administration funneled $6 trillion into reckless spending sprees with zero accountability. The real issue? Outdated defense procurement systems that prioritize contractor profits over national readiness.
This deal exposes that rot while delivering immediate upgrades—classic Trump efficiency.
@cca_keyspin @jesx64 That would be a thanks no thanks for me. If I’m doing work for someone else clearly outside the business hours and not using business resources, they may *want* to own my work but sorry that’s not reasonable. Push back. I bet a lawyer somewhere said “try it, see what he says.”
Remember, MAGA friends - what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If you remove due process I guarandamntee you’ll be bitten by a false accusation some day. And it’ll likely come from one of your own. You’ve got to have proof that someone is guilty before arresting them.
We need Courageous JUSTICE in our Country. If the Courts don’t allow what we have been allowed to do for 250 years, America can no longer be the same. Crooked Joe Biden will have destroyed our Country with his Open Border MADNESS, and allowing criminals of every type to enter with no Retribution. Murderers, Drug Dealers, Gang Members, and even the Mentally Insane will make their home in our Country, wreaking havoc like we have never seen before. It is not possible to have trials for millions and millions of people. We know who the Criminals are, and we must get them out of the U.S.A. ¬— and FAST!

In addition if you pull out now you’ll miss out when it rebounds in 97 days. How do I know it will? I’m psychic. Just like you are when you lament the future of your money. STOP PANICKING. Markets go up and down; you’re in it for the long haul.
More and more people are considering pulling out of their 401k due to the market drop.
Just a reminder:
Withdrawing from your 401k early comes with a mandatory 20% tax withholding, and a 10% penalty.
Not the best idea.

Elon bought Twitter for $44B, and sold it to his own company for $33B. He can write-off that $11B loss on his taxes.
Teachers can only write-off up to $300 worth of their school supplies on their taxes.
This is what a tax code written to benefit oligarchs looks like.
@improvyzer@JMayer71683@atrupar Exactly. The due process determines if they are here illegally. That’s literally what it’s for. If you’re an American citizen, you’re not here illegally. Some of these guys are American citizens. Some are legal immigrants. Some are picked up simply because they have melanin.
We’re barely three weeks in, but Trump is laying the groundwork to allow staggering levels of corruption to occur in the US Government.
Here are five actions he's already taken to open the flood gates of corruption – just the facts🧵
@pizzahut Is it common to have a raw sewage smell in your restaurants? The one in my town Brookhaven MS has smelled nasty for at least 6 months. It’s coming from the bathroom but permeates the dining area. How does that continue for so long?
Sure it made the visit seamless and fast, but now imagine someone hacks the databases with that info - they can hack into any network served by that ISP. What kind of controls exist to prevent that kind of breach? Is there some third party auditing of ISPs? #security
Interesting lesson in home WiFi security: My ISP is able to connect to my home network at will, even if I change the passwords. They provided the initial WiFi pods months ago and they were able to add one from their truck today before even coming inside. That takes a lot of trust
@BuckWoodyMSFT 3x laptops running proxmox, about 20 VMs (Ubuntu/Windows/TrueNAS) on them. One more laptop running windows to access them all. Maybe 6TB SSD, 30 TB spinning for backups.
Agreed. I’ve had far fewer “cube land” illnesses in the last 10 years. Coworkers were the biggest problem before. I used to get colds monthly, now one about every 3 years.
Remote work = healthier, less stressed! 🌱 Since going remote in 2013, I’ve seen major health benefits—no more “cube land” illnesses, less stress, and freedom to live healthier. Why don't more companies embrace it? Let's rethink employee well-being!

@kenjimallon Anytime I hear that phrase I don’t think of it as “this will be over soon, just hold on” but instead “ I done told you what’s gon’ happen, now sit down and watch.” And I think that’s how biblical references intended it.
And don’t even get me started on “it is what it is.” :)
