The experience is real. However, when it is used to point or refer to an external (to you) event, then that pointer is faulty. It points to nothing and you claiming it does doesn't make it so.
Hey, we need to protect the U.S. from people coming over here and wanting to be Americans...the nerve of those ungrateful bastards. Americans are just jumping at the bit to take those jobs they wouldn't touch in the past because...because....Trump wants them to....Make America Great Again. The again seems to be the circa 1950 again, what a wonderful time to be non-white in America.
No. We know he's shooting from the hip when his dept. heads get informed of the new policy from the news. He issues demands of that little squit, Sessions, via Twitter. His own national security staff (sic) had to presign the NATO docs before that asshole could go over and screw it up. He's not really in control of anything which only makes him lead with his foot and then wind up shooting said foot. And he's too stupid to have any policy chops to begin with, he has the attention span of a gnat. That too leads to shooting from the hip.
In addition, there are parents in the U.S. who do not want their kids vaccinated against an STD, papillomavirus (HPV), for "religious" reasons, not necessarily part of the Anti-Vaccers wing-nuts. Apparently, allowing your kid to get cancer because of this virus is for a "religious" reason, as if rape and incest doesn't occur. I guess the feeling is that if the sprogs are vaccinated, they'll be out there screwing like rabbits and having a jolly time...both of which are to be prevented for "religious" reasons.
You mean the governor is taking his election seriously, he wants to be a senator so he can help do to the country what he's done to Florida and its coastal waters.
Ah, the natural science It's-Always-Something school of thought. Yes, let's not do anything because crises are always made-up. Brilliant, have you notified the Academy of Sciences about your discovery. Or Fox News, they go for that sort of thing.
Boars are nothing. Albania has a two-headed chicken as a symbol. It worked wonders on scaring the foreigners off as no one wanted to be fighting two-headed chickens.
To put a finer point on your point, Trump says the tariffs will pay down the U.S. debt. Hmmm....so if taxed $500 Billion of Chinese exports at 25%, we have $125 Billion. The U.S. has a roughly $20 Trillion dollar debt, that'd be $20,000 Billion. So Trump has a way to go...waaayyy...waayyys to go because......courtesy of his and the R's tax give away, we will now have $1 Trillion deficit this year and in succeeding years, it only gets worse. And they promised us that the tax give away would pay for itself. Hmmm...Voodoo Economics rises from the Dead, Repeat ye of Little Faith.
Errr...you do realize the U.S. has been creating roughly 200,000 jobs over all for the past few years, yes? And you are in awe of 3000. In numbers, proportion matters.
So far, Trump hasn't restored any jobs save a few steel production jobs. The Make America Great Again will raise prices on every product America produces. That will mean we all get to pay more, and those companies will be at a disadvantage when attempting to compete outside the U.S. So enjoy your Kool-Aid while it lasts, but declaring economic war on more or less the entire world shows just how ignorant Trump and his advisors from Fox are about modern economies.
"Or how about modifying pest weeds to make them spread less and grow smaller or not reproduce at all?". They frequently produce by seeds. Birds eat the seeds. So the birds will spread less or not reproduce at all. It helps to think before you act.
The Navy has its own air force (carriers) and army (Marines). The Air Force has their own special ops, well, they all do. It makes no sense to create another bureaucracy just because some asshole needs to see his name on it.
Neither is airline safety. The airlines and their accountants would be more than happy to take it over. It would allow them to find the precise point at which crashes impact profitability. Food safety isn't an enumerated responsibility of the federal government. Joe's Bait and Sushi shop should be able to use the leftovers from one operation be used in the other. Auto safety isn't an enumerated responsibility. The SEC isn't one either...but then under Bush, it certainly wasn't a responsibility and contributed to the crash.
The list goes on. The Point is that government cannot remain stuck in the 1700s.
No it wouldn't, we'd just fight over who is going to fight them, then some of us would sell our souls to them thus creating another fault line. Eventually, the Aliens would become so disgusted they'd leave on their own swearing to never visit us again.
Many in the DoD are against the new Guardians of the Galaxy force (haven't been able to recruit a talking raccoon). Most likely what will happen is the DoD will bury the new force in study committees, plan proposals, etc. in that dork leaves office. Hopefully, we won't be left with a religious nutjob like Pence. And even if they do stand up a new force, the Air Force and the Navy will be gunning to reabsorb it over time.
Ah, this is just China's payback for Kissinger. And now it will continue until the Chinese Communist Party gets to claim Taiwan so they can do to it what they are doing to Tibet. Free Chinese are anathema to the CP.
Nah, that's not what happened. There was this carpenter guy who somehow hooked up with a tasty female. Being scared of marriage the dowry it would entail, he kept the relationship going in the hopes of getting break down the line. Then she became preggers. What to do, what to do? The penalties at that time for this sort of behavior were severe. So he thinks hard and in a blinding flash of insight, the story line became, "It's a (*^*&^%$ miracle!!".
Politicians have been spinning variations on this ever since.
Yah, I read an article on this on either NYT or WashPost. I didn't bother reading this article because the blurb above took too many facts out of context and inflated them.
I doubt there is a kickback, it is too open to the GAO and auditing. The DoD is finishing up their first ever audit, that will now become fodder for GAO oversight as it will now be an ongoing audit exercise.
The problem with not going with a mono culture is that congress critters will then use DoD as a punching bag for declaring that it is wasting money attempting to get all the cats herded together. And the extra money it would take to herd those cats will be significant.
Balanced against that is the security issues with a mono-culture. However, Congress doesn't get security, and certainly the current alleged Administration does not either. DoD does but it is a vast enterprise and securing the entire thing as a question isn't, to reuse Pauli's phrase, not even wrong.

Well golly, we should be ready for a miracle on removing the bloom any day now. Care to make any predictions for us heathens?

No, no time travel involved. There was an "incident" at conception.

Just the mere mention of the new Space Force has scared off the rogue aliens and pirates.
The Navy has its own air force (carriers) and army (Marines). The Air Force has their own special ops, well, they all do. It makes no sense to create another bureaucracy just because some asshole needs to see his name on it.
You forget that Trump destroys everything he touches, the Space Rangerettes will be no different.

Well, if Erdogan is anything to go by, Turkey won't be fielding anything bigger than a couple of muskets in a few years.

Yeah, well in the U.S. we have Attack Rabbits, just ask Jimmy Carter.
