On 12DEC2016, two F-35 Lightning-2s arrived on Nevatim Air Base, Israel, where they were rechristened F-35I (I for Israel) Adir. U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama the Second‘s Secretary of Defense, Ashton Baldwin Carter, praised Israel and revealed long-term plans to “dominate the skies” over The Middle East. I edited this video from videos recorded by U.S. Navy Petty Officer Second Class Glenn Slaughter, the U.S. Department of Defense, and U.S. Embassy photographer Ziv Sokolov:
Ever since the delivery of the first two F-35-Is to Israel, the United States Air Force (USAF) has routinely attended wargames in Israel using its F-35 Lightining-2, the most recent being in January 2023. The large-scale bilateral multi-domain wargame is called Juniper Oak, and is meant to enhance ‘interoperability’ between U.S. and Israeli armed forces.

Juniper Oak is just one of several U.S.-Israeli wargames. However, Israel also routinely sends their F-35-Is to the U.S., for wargames over North America, such as Red Flag.

Israeli F-35-Is also take part in NATO wargames, such as a wargame called Falcon Strike which involves Israel, Italy, United Kingdom and United States.

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”-from Revelation 18, King James Bible
Welcome to borderland hell under the U.S. President, highly incomplete (just the tip of the iceberg) list of videos and links to news/government agency reports as of 30 April 2022:
U.S. Coast Guard District 7 video, from 27APR2022, of a Haitian boat approximately 60 miles northwest of Cuba. The boat was intercepted with 64 illegals onboard:
On 19APR2022, the U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a taxpayer funding video report justifying its reliance on hi-tech equipment, why Singapore is an important partner in policing smuggling that is targeting the U.S., and continued border policing operations with a focus on “rescuing” victims of human smuggling:
On 11APR2022, the USCG District 7 “rescued” 67 illegals from Haiti, 15 miles southeast of Anguilla Cay, Bahamas:
On 10APR2022, the USCG District 7, handed over 88 illegals from Haiti to the Haitian Coast Guard. Video by Lieutenant David Steele:

On 09APR2022, approximately 17 miles northeast of Punta Maisi, Cuba, the USCG District 7 captured, oh I mean ‘rescued’ 89 illegals from Haiti. The USCG claims the Haitian ‘voluntarily’ left the boat and ‘agreed’ to be sent back to Haiti (at U.S. taxpayer expense, of course)!

The U.S. Army’s Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is about 48 miles from the border with Mexico (if you’re heading to Los Algodones), and borders with California. YPG Conservation Law Enforcement Officer Sergeant Shawn Baker says there has been a huge increase in ‘trespassing’ in the past few years, based on the number of new vehicle trails, aerial photos, and ‘in-person contacts’. Sergeant Baker stops short of blaming illegal immigrants, but warns that YPG has a lot of unexploded bombs spread across the desert, some going back to World War Two.
Near Yuma’s border with Mexico, CBP reports 10-thousand illegal crossings per week:

On 28APR2022, U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Major James Porterfield, Command Senior Enlisted Leader of NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and USNorthCom (U.S. Northern Command), got a tour of a Mobile Surveillance Camera (MSC) site near San Diego. The MSC is operated by the 381st Military Police Company, Indiana Army National Guard. USNorthCom is tasked with providing Mobile Surveillance Camera operators, Intelligence analysts, and aviation support operations via various state National Guard units.

Washington DC:12APR2022, Russia-Ukraine crisis forces U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken to meet with UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi. Apparently the number of refugees fleeing the war are at crisis levels, and finding countries willing to take enough in is now a problem:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has many sub-programs for helping provide food for their National School Lunch Program. One of those sub-programs is in coordination with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), it’s called the USDA DoD Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (aka USDA DoD Fresh).
This fiscal year, there is already a record $470-million in requests for food from USDA DoD Fresh, and in just one week of November a record 20-thousand-958 orders were shipped. Last year, the requests for USDA-DoD supplied fresh veggies hit $371-million. It’s all blamed on CoViD-19 overreactions by local and state governments, resulting in schools shutting down completely and food orders being canceled: “Then as they came back in March, April and May, we began to see where USDA DoD Fresh was meeting their needs because of the fact that [schools] could get weekly deliveries of fresh produce, and the vendors were able to give them individually wrapped products like baby carrots in a bag, orange slices, and apple slices.”-Katherine Staley, Chief of Program Integrity and Monitoring Branch with USDA Food Distribution Division
Katherine Staley also implied that apparently the sudden shutdown of schools and cancelation of civilian food vendor contracts caused many of those vendors to ‘go away’, and now many school districts are scrambling to find civilian food suppliers: “While states figure out how to get the other items, we are a failsafe. Our contracts are in place, our vendors are up and running and ready to go. It’s a team effort making this work.”
Staley pointed out that while many of the civilian food venders might be getting their food from foreign imports, all of the USDA DoD Fresh food “…is U.S. produced. It…supports American agriculture.”
48 states plus Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Washington DC, use the USDA DoD Fresh program.
After decades of wasting taxpayer’s money on ‘advanced’ aircraft projects that went nowhere, U.S. Air Force officials have finally pulled the heads outta the….clouds and approved the purchase of a much more practical fighter aircraft, or have they?

In July 2020 (under the administration of President Donald Trump), the United States Air Force (USAF) shelled-out $1.2-billion for eight F-15EX, much cheaper than the development nightmare known as the F-35, of between $77-million to $110-million purchase price per F-35, and that does not include the billions of dollars spent on the decades of development! Add to that the per flight operating costs of the F-35, which currently are $3-thousand dollars more than the old F-15C Eagle. Total lifetime cost of one F-35 is expected to be more than $1-trillion! To top it off, insult-to-injury, the S/VTOL concept of the F-35 was directly influenced by the Soviet/Russian Yakovlev 141! Unfortunately the F-15EX will not take the place of the F-35, but act as a complementary aircraft to the F-35.
On 02FEB2021, the USAF completed its first flight of the F-15EX, over Saint Louis, Missouri. The aircraft was piloted by Matt Giese, Boeing’s chief test pilot for the EX.
Official Boeing first flight video:
In August 2020, it was announced that Oregon Air National Guard’s 173rd Fighter Wing (FW) and 142nd FW would be the lucky units to get the new EX-citement Eagle. The 173rd will act as the ‘formal training unit’ for F-15EX conversion. Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Rice says conversion shouldn’t take too long because “The F-15EX is almost 90% compatible with the F-15C Model.”
One of the advanced features of the EX Eagle is the 20-thousand hours life-span of the airframe: “….a long time, about double the service the life of an F-15C. Not only is the airframe designed to last for a long time, the F-15EX also has an ‘Open Mission System’ which allows the computer and avionics software to be more adaptable and more easily updated in the future. This adaptability is key, as we know that technology is continuing to accelerate.”-Colonel Jeff Edwards, 173rd FW commander
Two F-15EX fighters will be sent to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, by the end of the first quarter of 2021, for testing. The USAF plans to eventually buy at least 144 F-15EX Eagles.

There is a town in Texas named Egypt, but in August 2020 the U.S. state of Texas and the government of the country of Egypt formed a military alliance.
During the January 2021 presidential inauguration SNAFU (Situation Normal, All Fucked Up) the Czech Republic’s embassy staff provided traditional Czech goulash and bread to five-hundred Texas and Nebraska National Guard personnel deployed to the failed ‘state’ of Washington DC.
On 24AUG2020, Egypt officially became a new military partner at a signing ceremony at Camp Mabry, Texas (another signing ceremony took place in Cairo, Egypt, later in the year).

Earlier in the year, March 2020, Texas Army National Guard took over ‘peace-keeping’ ops from Guam Army National Guard in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
As part of the official alliance, Egyptian military and civil officials toured border operations along the Texas-Mexico border.
The border tour included a ride in an air-boat on the Rio Grande/Río Bravo del Norte.
The official information about the new ‘long-term partnership’ says Texas and Egypt will conduct operations involving C-130 transport aircraft, F-16 fighter aircraft, cyber defense, logistics, special forces, homeland security response preparedness, military support to civilian authorities, and humanitarian and disaster assistance response.

In March 2015, officials with the Egyptian Military Nursing Training Academy came to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to seek advice from the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School, as well as the Christian (Catholic) University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, in how to deal with the increasing medical problems of the Egyptian population.
The State Partnership Program boasts that 84 countries have signed alliances with various state National Guard organizations.

Since the presidency of Barack Obama, the U.S. Department of Defense is steadily shifting focus towards the Asia/Pacific region. Sometimes known as Pivot to Asia, Pivot to Pacific, Total Force training for Near Peer Threats, maybe they should just bring back the phrase Cold War.

It will be interesting to see how the new U.S. president, Joe ‘flip-flop’ Biden, handles the Department of Defense. This month, the U.S. Navy SeaBees (construction engineers) and U.S. Marine Corps engineers have begun training to quickly build Expeditionary Advanced Bases (EAB) and Advanced Naval Bases (ANB), in case a major war in the Pacific breaks out. (The U.S. Navy also just completed multinational Pacific region wargame Sea Dragon 2021)

In October 2019, on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, the 916th Maintenance Squadron (of the 916th Air Refueling Wing) completed their last isochronal (ISO) inspection of a KC-135 Stratotanker.
The KC-135 has been replaced by the KC-46 Pegasus.
The last ISO on the 916th KC-135 was started in August, but took longer than expected due to delays caused by severe weather: “The ISO (isochronal) aircraft was placed on the flightline as a precaution to protect it from possible damage. The hangar it was in leaves the empennage exposed to high winds which could cause more damage because of the close tolerance to the hangar doors.”-Senior Master Sergeant Karl Rehkamp, 916th Maintenance Squadron maintenance flight chief
