Understand no private entity would shut down, unless they could not hire any staff.

I'm sure you know some structures, plants, and features in National Parks are irreplaceable. Carving initials into cabins, digging plants and flowers, collecting petrified wood. As well as servicing bathrooms, info centers, Park trails etc require staff. DOGE doesn't care

Noem doesn't know what "habeus corpus" is, and Gabbard apparently doesn't know what constitutes 'intelligence analysis'.

Only the best people.

Coming from a supporter of the party that doesn't know what a woman is, I think your high ground is Death Valley.

Accepting this gift out in the open is hands down way worse than Burisma, 10% to The Big Guy, peddling Joe’s influence in China and a laptop that didnt’t exist. Amarite? I’m sure you get my point, but yes, I do actually believe the prudent thing to do would have been to decline the gift on appearance alone.

What I've heard is that it's outdated and in need of ~ half a billion dollars in updates, and Qatar has been trying to get rid of it for years. No one wants it. Qatar gave its sister plane to Turkey.

Likely to become a museum piece at Trump's foundation. Anyone that believes Trump wants to trade his current 757 for an outdated 747...?

There's probably a 777 too but there are still the issues of price and how long it would take to retrofit it.

NBC:

Converting a Qatari-owned 747 jet into a new Air Force One for President Donald Trump would involve installing multiple top-secret systems, cost over $1 billion and take years to complete, three aviation experts told NBC News.

They said that accepting the 13-year-old jet would likely cost U.S. taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over time, noting that refurbishing the commercial plane would exceed its current value of $400 million. The project might also not be completed by the end of Trump’s term in 2029, at which time the plane is expected to be handed over to Trump’s presidential library foundation.

Richard Aboulafia, an analyst and consultant on commercial and military aviation, said he thought turning the Qatari jetliner into Air Force One would cost billions and take years.

“You’re taking a 747, disassembling it, reassembling it, and then jacking it up to a very high level,” said Aboulafia, a managing director at AeroDynamic Advisory, a consulting firm.

Elon Musk's reaction sends people wild during testy Trump showdown with South African president​

Billionaire Elon Musk triggered a flood of attention on social media on Wednesday as he joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

The president confronted South African president Cyril Ramaphosa on the issue of the deaths of white farmers.

Musk did not speak during the event, as President Trump asked staff to dim the lights in the Oval Office as he played a video of EFF leader Julius Malema chanting 'Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer.'

Trump also showcased a series of news clippings including a file from the Daily Mail about the horrific crimes committed against white African farmers.

Photos and videos of Musk staring intently at Ramaphosa as the president denied that the deaths of white farmers was racial genocide went viral on social media.

The issue is important to Musk who has made a point of raising it on social media frequently with claims of White genocide in the country where he was born.

Musk also criticized Ramaphosa in an interview on Tuesday, accusing him of 'racist' laws preventing him from operating his satellite internet service in the country because he was not black.

Paramount Infighting Stalls Shari Redstone’s push to Settle $20B Trump Suit: ‘Decision constipation’​


Shari Redstone-controlled Paramount is poised to settle a closely watched legal battle with President Trump over alleged deceptive editing of a controversial “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris – but warring factions within the company have delayed the move, On The Money has learned.

The media giant is said to be willing to spend up to $50 million to end the $20 billion lawsuit brought by Trump, thus lifting a legal black cloud that is that is hampering Redstone’s plans to sell Paramount, and its CBS News subsidiary at the center of the lawsuit, to independent studio Skydance in a deal valued at $8 billion, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

But the infighting inside Paramount has paralyzed Redstone & Co. from pulling the trigger, leaving management and board members in limbo, the sources said.

Redstone and her board are said to be facing some significant internal pressure from members of her legal team and others not to cave to Trump’s demands.
