VMFA 122 is embarked on the Makin, and the America probably has 2 squadrons aboard.

That’s 5 carriers (for all intents and purposes). Don’t know when the last time was we saw that much naval airpower massed.

Ford Makes History by Importing Lincoln SUV to U.S. — from China

Ford Motor Company will make history by importing its next generation Lincoln Nautilus from China — the first time ever to do so. The move comes as backlash mounts against a planned Ford plant in Marshall, Michigan, that involves China’s premier electric vehicle battery supplier.

This month, Ford executives announced that the Lincoln Nautilus will be made in China and imported to sell to Americans in the United States. Previously, the SUV was made in Ontario, Canada before being shipped to the U.S. market for sale.

Dem Rep Frequently Met With Alleged Chinese Police Station Director Arrested By The FBI, Photos Show

New York Democratic Rep. Grace Meng frequently met and attended events with an alleged Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operative who was recently arrested by the FBI, according to photos and news reports reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Since 2016, Meng has attended multiple New York City events held by Chinese-American organizations to which Lu Jianwang, the suspected CCP operative, has belonged, according to photos and reports from multiple Chinese-language news sites. On April 17, the FBI arrested Lu Jianwang, the former “chairman” of the nonprofit America Changle Association, for allegedly “opening and operating an illegal overseas police station” within the nonprofit’s Manhattan headquarters.

Not only has Meng attended multiple events alongside Lu Jianwang, who also goes by Harry Lu, but the six-term congresswoman was also present at several key moments in America Changle’s history, photos and reports from multiple Chinese-language news sources reveal.

Highly unlikely.

But if you are the CCP, who’s publicly declared primary goal is “reunification”, the shot probably doesn’t get much better than this.

Yet a computer virus could render it inoperable.
