What is most concerning about Biden’s (or rather whoever is pulling his puppet strings) vaccine mandate for civilians is the precedent it sets. Vaccine mandate -> “health and safety”. What happens when the climate nazis gain enough influence to lobby, say, forced sterilizations or abortions to “limit population overgrowth and enforce general health and safety.”? Are Orwellian and Dystopian policies really that far out of the realm of possibility with the current path we are on? This should concern you even if you vote Blue.

Now that we're out of Afghanistan, it will be interesting to see what becomes of those fleets. We don't have a good track record of supporting "novel / niche" weapons systems (see C-27). Also, guess we've already retired 2/3rds of the C-145 fleet? Some US-2 specs from Wikipedia below. Hard to put a lot of stock into them, since it is Wikipedia, and so much of the performance depends on loading. But I wouldn't have expected the US-2 to have a 2,500 nmi range. Impressive. Also, would have to imagine hanging all the enormous amphibian gear off the C-130 will have a big hit on its performance. The US-2 needs a congressional caucus to go bat for it. Gather up a couple ANG units in coastal states that are in danger of losing their iron. Pick a US defense contractor in an under-served state to provide the modifications needed to bring it up to our desired specs, etc. You know, throw some money and power around. US-2 Maximum speed: 300 kn Cruise speed: 260 kn Range: 2,500 nmi
