Chinese Scientists Create Mutant Ebola Virus​


The good news......
But lab leaks happen, and these incidents could lead to the spread of to those outside of the lab.​
Experts have confirmed that respiratory viruses – which are [spread] via coughing and sneezing – are more likely to spread widely through a population.​
Data released this March revealed that lab leak incidents occur every year and included the release of controlled pathogens like tuberculosis and anthrax.​
There are anywhere from 70 to 100 releases were recorded every year.​
 
Soooo..........didn't Trump just get done saying back off mike johnson ? :unsure: :mad:


I was so hopeful for johnson after mccarthy got the boot. They're both pieces of shit.

I've come to the conclusion that even if the new version seems like a move in the right direction they'll turn coat soon and be as bad
or worse than the previous.
If this wasn't the outcome those in true power would never allow it.

we have B52 bombers that are over 60 years old......
Granddad, Dad, and son, all flying the same bomber
just saying..
Don't talk about the Chinook helicopters and when they were developed. (50s)
You want an airplane built BEFORE DEI or built WITH DEI?
Don't bag on the Chinooks. I bet they have a better service record than the osprey. Just update them with today's tech. Same idea with more modern engineering and tech would do just fine. It seems to work for the f15 and the b52.

Boeing had a had twice the budget of space X

"In 2014, NASA narrowed the crew competition to just two companies, Boeing and SpaceX. At that time, the space agency awarded Boeing $4.2 billion in funding for development of the Starliner spacecraft and six operational crew flights. Later, in an award that NASA's own inspector general described as "unnecessary," NASA paid Boeing an additional $287.2 million. This brings Boeing's total to $4.49 billion,​
BOEING $4.49 billion.
Space X - 2.6 billion
Now -
The delay was ordered to replace a pressure regulation valve on the Atlas V rocket’s liquid oxygen tank. NASA won’t attempt another launch until at least May 17.​
According to media reports, a buzzing sound indicating the leaking valve was noticed by someone walking by the Starliner minutes before launch. This sound could indicate that the valve has passed its lifecycle.”​
While the Starlined has struggled,
the Atlas V rocket is a proven launch vehicle and has been in service since 2002. The Atlas V was designed by Lockheed Martin and is currently produced by the United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin.​
The rocket is nearing retirement with only 17 launches left before it’s replaced by the ULA’s Vulcan, the collaboration’s first new rocket design.

ULA’s Vulcan,

the lower stage is powered by a pair of the controversial BE-4 engines, manufactured by Jeff Bezos’ aerospace company Blue Origin. Originally planned to be custom-made for Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch vehicle, ULA ultimately agreed with the company to use these engines for Vulcan Centaur.

Marred by constant development and production delays, Blue Origin initially claimed the engines would be “flight ready” by 2017, but this was pushed back repeatedly. Reportedly, the relationship between ULA and Blue Origin has been rocky due to the five-year delay. BE-4 has never been flight-tested, so Vulcan’s maiden launch later this year will mark its first real-life use — a possible risk point for a risk-averse company like the ULA

Is there a reason NOT to mention or discuss it? Better to just stick you head in the sand or up your ...? For now, we still have the First Amendment. Maybe if enough people said something earlier on we wouldn't be here.
I'm thinking it isn't going to be solved by talking

Someone posted up something here a couple of two/three weeks ago that strongly suggested that either the fbi or cia would have a closed door meeting with various politicians and discuss "the facts of life" with them.

I think mr. johnson recently had the facts of life explained to him.

IIRC, the terminology used was “Congressional Capture”.

I can't think of either a house or senate republican "leader" that has been worth a shit in the last 30 years, perhaps even further back than that....

Having said that, I like Jordan, MTG, Hawley, Rand Paul and a few others. However, I'm not so sure they wouldn't cave if they had the same discussion that johnson appears to have recently had.

whose baggin.. just pointing out when they were originally (started production) built. I believe the Chinooks are still the fastest helicopter in the Army's arsenal.
 
And it will remain that way until the Republicans come together with a block vote.
He is teaching a lesson. We will see who is paying attention.
I think the voter's are paying closer attention than the career politicians in DC.
The Republicans block vote now with the Democrats so you should be happy

The United States Government is buying used airplanes from the Koreans to convert to E-4B "Doomsday" planes. By the time the conversion is finished these planes will be antiquated. How smart is that ? Next the Government will have the Chinese build their planes....

Government procurement scam. Would have to bid new aircraft and all scared Boeing would win bid. DEI = Die

Not picking on any one person... More, just looking back in history.

Historically, the person that did not cave was the one being backed up by a Revolutionary Army.

Going to take some pain, suffering and losses for that Army to come together.
 
In that case, that is how their "constituents" want them to vote.
If not, why do they keep getting re-elected ?
Their "constituents" aren't any of us plebes but are a small group of very powerful people who have "six ways to Sunday" of ensuring that they get what they want.

They "keep getting re-elected" because they have lots of money and they cheat.
 
BOEING $4.49 billion.Space X - 2.6 billion
Meanwhile, SpaceX has flown 8 crewed missions to Boeing's 0.

The reason I keep a complete set of encyclopedia printed in 1962 & year books to 1999.
I'd could get use to doing things mid 1960's again.
1962? But you'll lose the definitions of the 83 genders.

Biden plans for higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy and corporations to extend middle-class tax breaks​


President Joe Biden’s top economic advisor on Friday laid out plans for the country’s looming debate over trillions in expiring tax breaks enacted by former President Donald Trump.

Several provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA, of 2017 will expire after 2025 without any changes from Congress. Those include lower federal income tax brackets, a higher standard deduction and doubled estate and gift tax exemption, among others.
