If the founding fathers didn’t explicitly mention it in the Constitution then clearly it’s unconstitutional.

Fun fact: the US Coast Guard used to have a base in the Oklahoma panhandle. It’s sole purpose was a LORAN transmitter.

He’ll just manage to royally piss off every DC Police Officer who fought (and in many cases were injured , or worse) those self-proclaimed peaceful protestors that were anything but. The last thing he wants is a police force that would turn their back on him when he needs them most.

The big question is whether or not somebody with enough influence in Trumps orbit managed to explain that clearly to him in third grade terms he can understand.

I recently traveled abroad. Flying back to the US I was one of about 10 passengers on my flight that was randomly selected for an extra search that I guess the TSA requires of flights coming into the USA. I couldn’t create my boarding pass in the airlines app ahead of time. I had to check in at the airport, and the airline employed explained that it was because of this random search. He had to print a physical boarding pass, and pointed out it had the code AAAA printed in big letters across the top. This lets everybody know I was one of the lucky random winners.

At the gate, prior to boarding, they called up the names of all of us who had been chosen. They had a list, so they knew who we were. They confirmed our ID again & the boarding pass, then swabbed us down along with our carry-ons and put the swabs in an explosives detector.

No idea why all that required a physical boarding pass, but it did. Until the TSA moves into the modern age they’re likely going to continue demanding paper boarding passes. And we all know how quickly government organizations upgrade the technology they use…

OnStar freaked me out after an accident in a rental car a few years ago. We had no idea the rental car had it. We got rear ended by a drunk driver and spun 360 degrees off the road. Within a second or two of coming to a stop a voice was asking if we were ok.

At least the ads on broadcast TV are placed appropriately in breaks throughout the TV programming. Some of the streaming services seem to inject ads wherever they feel like, sometimes in mid sentence. It completely turns me off of those streaming services.
