Hillary Gets All Wee Wee'd Up Over Trump and Nukes

Hillary is having a conniption over Trump's possible access to nuclear weapons if he is elected President. Of course she first flays away at her former hero, FBI Director Comey, for re-opening the email server investigation. After she chews on Comey, she again bears her fangs and unleashes her tongue on Trump.

Then Clinton went after Donald Trump for having a 'hair-trigger temper.'

Seriously, she goes after Trump for his temper? Thank God America does not use nuclear tipped ashtrays else the world would be a  smouldering ruin. She hurls ashtrays like Sandy Koufax tossed fast balls. Because of Hillary, the Secret Service still has a policy whereby all ash trays entering the White House must be registered and a permit issued.

She referenced quotes from Trump where he would't rule out use of nuclear weapons and spoke about bombing adversaries. 'To talk so casually, so cavalierly about mass annihilation is truly appalling,' Clinton told the Ohio crowd.

'When the president gives the order, that’s it. There’s no veto for congress. No veto by the Joint Chiefs [of staff]. The officers in the silos have no choice but to fire. And that can take as little as four minutes,' Clinton said.

It took a lot longer than 4 minutes to kill America's Ambassador to Libya and Hillary still couldn't move her ass in time to save him.

Q: Who's more dangerous to the safety of all Americans?
A: Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is the only major party candidate in the 2016 Presidential elections who hasn't killed anyone. But at this point, what difference does it make?

Clinton was introduced by Bruce Blair, a former Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch Control Officer, who is featured in a Clinton campaign ad raising doubts about having Trump's finger on the nuclear button.

'Donald Trump would have the power to single handedly launch a nuclear strike on his own at any time he chose with a single phone call,' said Blair, who said he spent years working in an underground silo during his 20s.

Back To The Future

Congratulations Obama,  we're living in 1965 again.

For those of you too young to remember 1965, that was the year that my favorite Chevy Impala was made. My dad borrowed my Uncle Joe's '65 Impala to drive me to college in 1967. His had the black vinyl top.

I was driving a 1965 Tempest when I graduated from college in 1971 . This was another great car;  I bought it from an upstate NY farmer for $600 in 1970. Yeah - it was that color, a 4 dr.

Other things in 1965 weren't so great. The threat of nuclear war was one of them.

And that's where we are again. I can remember waking up in a cold sweat as a kid when the sirens went off at night. I didn't know if they were being used to summon the volunteer firemen to the station house or the harbinger of a nuclear strike directed at NYC only 45 miles away.

Washington (AFP) - The US military command that scans North America's skies for enemy missiles and aircraft plans to move its communications gear to a Cold War-era mountain bunker, officers said.

The shift to the Cheyenne Mountain base in Colorado is designed to safeguard the command's sensitive sensors and servers from a potential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack, military officers said.

The Pentagon last week announced a $700 million contract with Raytheon Corporation to oversee the work for North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) and US Northern Command.

Admiral William Gortney, head of NORAD and Northern Command, said that "because of the very nature of the way that Cheyenne Mountain's built, it's EMP-hardened."

"And so, there's a lot of movement to put capability into Cheyenne Mountain and to be able to communicate in there," Gortney told reporters.

"My primary concern was... are we going to have the space inside the mountain for everybody who wants to move in there, and I'm not at liberty to discuss who's moving in there," he said.

The Cheyenne mountain bunker is a half-acre cavern carved into a mountain in the 1960s that was designed to withstand a Soviet nuclear attack. From inside the massive complex, airmen were poised to send warnings that could trigger the launch of nuclear missiles.

Thanks for the memories, Obama, you incompetent, traitorous POS.

Well, That Escalated Quickly

From Zero Hedge:

Late last week, in what should not have been a surprise to anyone (because supposedly it was announced "far in advance") but was a major shock due to its intensity and expansiveness, Russia held a massive "simulated massive nuclear attack" drill, coming at a time just ahead of the Donetsk referendum, which may have been pre-scheduled and for foreign policy reasons was hailed as a "non-event", but judging by the amount of production that went into the accompanying video clip, this particular drill was dripping with symbolism aimed squarely at NATO and the US.

So now it is America's turn to retaliate. As the U.S. Strategic Command reported earlier, the US will conduct Exercise Global Lightning 14 from May 12-16 in coordination with other combatant commands, services, and appropriate U.S. government agencies "to deter and detect strategic attacks against the U.S. and its allies."

Stratcom was quick to point out that Exercise Global Lightning 14 has been planned for more than a year and is based on a notional scenario. It also added that the "timing of the exercise is unrelated to real-world events" but only those who believed that Russia massive nuclear drill was also unrelated to world will fall for this particular embellishment. As Defense One observes, according to Mark Schneider, a former U.S. Defense Department nuclear strategy official, told the Washington Free Beacon that Russia’s drill last week seemed aimed at sending a message of “nuclear intimidation” to the United States and NATO over Ukraine. He noted that Moscow typically stages its atomic exercises in the fall.

The closest I ever got to a B-52 was while driving by Rome AFB back in the early 80's. One of them was coming in for a landing.Wow, that's a big bird...
