Boss Hogg and his billionaire buddies are continuing to loot the US Treasury. Is anyone surprised?

 

  • Elon Musk’s Starlink is reportedly poised to take over a $2.4 billion FAA contract. Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration have reportedly directed staff "to locate tens of millions of dollars" for a deal, Rolling Stone reported. The proposed deal has fueled controversy over government influence and conflict-of-interest concerns.

Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have told staff "to locate hundreds of millions of dollars" for a deal with Elon Musk's Starlink, according to reports.

Three sources told Rolling Stone that the instructions had been primarily delivered to staff verbally, a move that is out of step with the agency's usual operations. One source with knowledge of the FAA's dealings told the outlet it seemed like “someone does not want a paper trail.”

Verizon was originally awarded a contract by the FAA in 2023 to overhaul its communications technology. It's unclear why the Verizon contract was voided and then given to Starlink, Elon Musk’s company.

Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...
