kscarbel2 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Do any BMT members in Vermont have more details ? A Washington state woman has been charged in the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont, which happened days after authorities began watching her and a German companion who also died in the roadside shootout. Teresa Youngblut, 21, faces two weapons charges in connection with the murder of Border Patrol Agent David Maland, 44, who died Monday during the shootout in Coventry, a small town 20 miles from the Canadian border. According to an FBI affidavit, a border agent pulled over Youngblut and German national Felix Bauckholt on Interstate 91 to conduct an immigration inspection. At the time, Bauckholt appeared to have an expired visa, according to a DHS database. Youngblut, who had been driving Bauckholt's car, got out and opened fire on Maland and other officers without warning. Bauckholt tried to draw a gun but was shot. At least one border agent fired on Youngblut and Bauckholt. Investigators had been performing “periodic surveillance” of Youngblut and Bauckholt since January 14th after an employee at a hotel where they were staying reported concerns after seeing Youngblut carrying a gun, and she and Bauckholt wearing black tactical gear. Investigators tried to question the pair, who said they were in the area looking to buy property but declined to have an extended conversation. About two hours before the shooting, investigators watched Bauckholt exit a Walmart in Newport (north of Coventry) with two packages of aluminum foil. Then he was seen wrapping unidentifiable objects while seated in the passenger seat. During a search of the car after the shootout, authorities found cellphones wrapped in foil, a ballistic helmet, night-vision goggles, respirators and ammunition. They also found a package of shooting range targets, including some that had been used, two-way radios, about a dozen “electronic devices,” travel and lodging information for multiple states, and an apparent journal. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/20/#findComment-567866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order for the immediate construction of an Iron Dome-like shield for the United States, calling it a top priority. The U.S. will immediately begin the construction of a state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile defense shield, which will be able to protect Americans. Americans protect other countries, but we don't protect ourselves. The President mentioned that President Reagan was interested in such a system during the Cold War but the U.S. didn't have the technology. And now we have phenomenal technology. You see that with Israel. So I think the United States is entitled to that. And everything will be made right here in the USA 100%. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/20/#findComment-567947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 On 1/26/2025 at 6:03 PM, kscarbel2 said: Is the Air Force trying to embarrass Trump? Nothing wrong with the Tuskegee Airmen nor the WASPs. Associated Press / January 26, 2025 The Air Force has removed training courses with videos of its storied Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), the female World War II pilots who were vital in ferrying warplanes for the military, to comply with the Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI initiatives. The videos were shown to Air Force troops as part of DEI courses they took during basic military training. In a statement, the Air Force confirmed the courses with those videos had been removed and said it “will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency and in alignment with national security objectives.” The problem may not be with the historical videos themselves, but that they were used in Air Force basic military training DEI coursework. However, the lack of clearer guidance has sent the Air Force and other agencies scrambling to take the broadest approach to what content is removed to make sure they are in compliance. I have no doubt Secretary Hegseth will correct and get to the bottom of the malicious compliance we’ve seen in recent days. President Trump celebrated and honored the Tuskegee Airmen during his first term. Senator Katie Britt R-AL Amen! We’re all over it, Senator. This will not stand.

kscarbel2 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 A leaked memo states that President Trump has temporarily paused all federal grant, loan and other financial assistance programs. In the interim, to the extent permissible under applicable law, federal agencies must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all federal financial assistance. The pause applies to all other relevant agency activities that may be impacted by the executive orders, including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, non-governmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal. Acting director of the Office of Management and Budget Matthew Vaeth The White House budget office has ordered federal agencies to temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, but does not affect Social Security, Medicare benefits nor assistance provided directly to individuals. The suspension goes into effect today at 5pm EST. Agencies have until February 10 to submit detailed information on any programs, projects or activities subject to the pause. The suspension provides the administration with time to review agency programs and determine the best uses of funding for those programs consistent with the law and Trump's priorities. Agencies must identify legally mandated actions or deadlines for assistance programs before completing the analysis. The problem is, this should not have been leaked. This time around, there can't be leaks. The individual(s) who leaked the memo must be made an example of. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/20/#findComment-567955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 On Monday, President Trump suspended 57 government officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development for trying to circumvent his executive order on freezing all foreign aid. We have identified several actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive orders and the mandate from the American people. As a result, we have placed a number of USAID employees on administrative leave with full pay and benefits until further notice. USAID acting administrator Jason Gray President Trump must find a way to gut the union, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) that represents most federal government employees (aside from postal). The AFGE is a root cause of government inefficiency. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/20/#findComment-567964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think its possible? This is complicated. And remember, the UK has the right of first refusal to buying Greenland (Mark Felton explains below). I know we used it extensively in the war as an aircraft stopover. And all the major powers have been busy busy staking territory claims throughout the Arctic. Strategically, having Alaska AND Greenland would give our military a very strategic stance. Canada is great, but they can't afford to militarily enforce their vast, vast northern lands. The easiest way would be for the locals to vote for US ownership. Our selling point would be we'll improve your quality of life, unlike the current status quo. . 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/20/#findComment-567970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'm not familiar enough to know if still is valid after the 2008 referendum which allows Greenland to ultimately decide their own fate if they no longer wish to be a part of Denmark. Trump tried this in 2019 and failed. Denmark has repeatedly stated its not for sale. Greenland has been a territory / autonomous country Denmark for nearly 600 years. 90% of the population are Inuit fisherman. If they choose their own path, I highly doubt they would choose to be a to become a state / territory of the USA. Sure Greenland has massive natural resources but who is to say the citizens there have any interest whatsoever to develop and extract them? My guess is they are completely content with their current arrangement and do not want to be bothered by foreign influence. Personally I think Trump is unnecessarily stirring a geopolitical pot and would be wise to drop it and focus on his domestic mandate.
