I hate Hegseth with the white hot heat of a thousand suns, but he did not say that. He said a facility at the base for a contingent of Qatari F-15s. He wasn't quite clear in how he said it, but he did name the base in Idaho where the facility would be.

Yes. Read the article. And listen to what Hegseth actually said. He talks about training, etc. It's the 2022 agreement. But he's acting like it brand new.

Hegseth isn't very clear in what he says, but he does say they are getting a facility to hold an F-15 contingent AT the base in Idaho.

They are training at the Idaho base, not getting their own base. This has been in the works for three years and the Trump administration is trying to take credit for it as though it is something new. sofrep.com/news/qatari-...

Qatari Fighter Jets Over Idaho?

Folks in Idaho will be seeing F-15Q fighters with Qatari air force markings and no, they are not lost.

Not my find, someone else posted it, but I'm passing it along because a lot of our people need to calm the f down, if ya know what I mean. Basically, TrumpCo didn't pull the plug on something that the Biden administration initiated and is now acting like it's THEIR achievement.

Ah... this is what it is. Been in the works since the Biden administration. So, when was that "letter of acceptance" actually signed? It's a training agreement bound to the purchase of F-15s, at a base known for this sort of thing. sofrep.com/news/qatari-...

So, this has been in the works for years... not something new. Article is from 2022.

Not what I heard. It sounds like Qatar will build a facility within a current US military base. Still, who approved this? Congress? Doubt it. A "letter of acceptance" sounds like Qatar proposed it and the U.S. accepted it, but hard to tell what Hegseth means here.

Also, ERs triage patients in the waiting room, so whoever is the worst goes to the front of the line. If your wait is long it's only because you're not the highest priority, not your citizenship status.

While undocumented folks are more likely to avoid them, emergency rooms cannot turn ANYONE away. However, you do to have sign paperwork to say who will be responsible for the bill if admitted. Choice will either be insurance and/or self-pay. I've never seen an option that said "American citizens."

So... when are you gonna write a book about this? I mean, if Joe Biden had done something like this it would be a LOOP on every network, right?

Will local ABC affiliates owned by certain owners still pre-empt him? Wasn't that was the original threat?

Right after the Minnesota school shootings.

No, I'm watching on network tv and saw the same damn thing.

Yep. Per his mother's FB posting he had a 4-year $32k scholarship and apparently flamed out after one semester and moved back home.

This is the equivalent of "I never saw him raise his voice or hit her whenever *I* was around. There's no way he could be an abusive partner."

Fixation is a symptom of dementia. When my mother passed away, my MIL could express momentary sympathy for me, but in the next breath return to whatever her current fixation was without missing a beat.
