For Over 75 Years Whenever There's a World Crisis, One of the First Questions Asked at the White House Is, "Where Are the Carriers?"

Yes.. And before that, Where were the Battleships? And maybe next it will be where are the Jewish Laser Sattelites? Carrier groups are now useful only in the case of asymetric warefare that takes place too far from the nation you owns them to fly there direct. They are also a way too expensive target to lose and thats a real problen for America,.😷

he was anything but an isolationist.

Teddy favored us getting into World War I, too, much earlier than Wilson.
@beckyromero TR loved war, that's for sure.

Are Cubs fans asking "where are the players"?

@beckyromero Since he was Casey's manager, he would have wondered the same thing. Can't anybody here play this game?

@eli1601 The joke was the Mets original owner, Joan Payson, had asked a person in the front office to send her a report after each game in 62. After a while she got tired of reading reports about losses so she told him to only report after wins.

She didn't hear from him for weeks.

@eli1601

In all fairness to the Mets, the existing teams didn't give the expansion clubs a fair shot. They should have given them a better player pool to chose from.

Just look at the record of the Mets, Astros, Angels and Senators/Rangers. Pretty pathetic. One World Series championship in 25 years between them thru 1985.

There is no illusion more powerful than fear.
There is no greater crime than preparing to defend oneself.
There is no greater misfortune than having an enemy.
Understanding fear is among the most important lessons.

@Stopmakingsense WTF? What an idiotic spew. Usually the ones you have to largescale hurt are the ones standing in the way of your freedom.

Instead we're supposed to say "duh, sorry we got in your way"

@Slade I was just quoting that"idiotic" Lao Tzu, AKA the Wise old one.
@beckyromero That was a great movie.

If sippy-cup has his way, there will be no more carriers, as in the current administrations budget slashing the military budget
@sunsporter1649 Just admit that you support a socialized military and socialized law enforcement. We’re both socialists, we just disagree on what should be socialized.

@LeopoldBloom And a partridge in a pear tree
@sunsporter1649 And a socialist on a motorcycle. We should call you socialistsporter.

Had a great time watching Javy Baez's Mets debut at Citi Field last night. He looks great in blue and orange!

Can't reply directly to your Jeter post, but trading Stanton to the Yankees was no favor. They're stuck with a stiff and his bloated contract.

@RedBaron
Can't go back and change it...

Yet.
RedBaron · M
@beckyromero Huh? The past is immutable and cannot be changed. Any intelligent person knows that.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@RedBaron

As I said, "yet." 😉

And besides, those who do not learn from history's mistakes are condemned to repeat them.
RedBaron · M
Come on, you got your championship. Now it's time to pay the devil back, lol.
RedBaron · M
@beckyromero But they don't have enough pitching and have gone downhill since 2016 as a result. And as I said elsewhere, what do you expect from the Cubs?
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@RedBaron

We should have kept Yu Darvish.

what do you expect from the Cubs?

Competitiveness.

I don't believe in tear-downs. Not even for small big league towns. It fails more often that it works.
RedBaron · M
@beckyromero Too bad. You chose to be a Cubs fan, lol.
