BREAKING: U.S. Air Force Secretary ADMITS that less than a third of F-35s built by Lockheed Martin are operationally capable! The Pentagon has given too much power to the defense contractors that are bilking American taxpayers. It’s not going to get better unless we demand accountability.
@RepMattGaetz Our military has other priorities.
@RepMattGaetz What is this monstrosity?
TRUMP IS NOT AN ANTI-WAR CANDIDATE. JOE BIDEN IS THE CANDIDATE OF PEACE. NATO has been essential to peace on the European Continent for over 70 years. The NATO Treaty provides a goal, not a rule, that each nation spends 2% of their GDP on their military. Ten NATO nations have met that goal. Regardless, in February of 2024, Trump said that Russia can “do whatever the hell they want” to nations that have not met the goal. Given that Russia brutally invaded Ukraine, killing innocent civilians and throwing the lives of 47 million people into utter chaos, Trump is directly encouraging Russia to start World War III. In addition, throughout Trump's Presidency, he echoed Russian propaganda, empowering Putin like never before. At the Helsinki summit, Trump took Russia's side over that of every US Intelligence agency. When Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump called Russian forces "a peace force" and Putin "a genius." Finally, America is not currently at war. Biden withdrew us from our last and only war. Ukrainian aid prevents Russian aggression throughout Europe. During the Bush Administration, Joe Biden was one of very few politicians with the courage to stand against both the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. DONALD TRUMP IS A THREAT TO AMERICA'S ROLE AS WORLD PEACEKEEPER AND THE WORLD ORDER. JOE BIDEN IS THE CANDIDATE OF PEACE, SECURITY, AND PROSPERITY!
@RepMattGaetz New one dollar bill just dropped
@RepMattGaetz You think we would have get use to our government screwing us, but then again it gets worse as our government tries to tax us more for failed leadership.
@RepMattGaetz Just another reason we shouldn't be selling any F-16's to... ANYONE right now.
@RepMattGaetz Yet Lockheed JUST announced a new 17 bln dollar award. How does that make sense ?

Two Trillion Dollars… Pretty soon, we’re talking real money. So we put this in perspective: Two trillion U.S. dollars in $100 notes would be 1,356 miles high. If they were one dollar bills, it would be 135,600 miles high (the moon is 238,900 miles from Earth). During testimony with Rep Matt Gaetz, the U.S. Air Force Secretary testified that only 29 percent of F35 aircraft are fully operational. “While the Pentagon now expects the plane to fly until 2088, GAO found the services are planning to slash flight hours, which can help hold down the program’s topline.”The cloudy sustainment picture comes as the F-35 program is failing to meet mission capable rate goals, which GAO covered in the September 2023 sustainment report. The program is meeting 17 of 24 reliability and maintainability goals as of August 2023, GAO found today, but woes ranging from depot capacity to a dearth of spare parts continue to drag down fleet readiness. Still, the program has managed to eke out some relatively good news in recent months, the most recent being the mostly symbolic move to approve the jet’s full rate production after years of delays. In total, GAO said DoD has implemented just 13 of 43 recommendations the watchdog has made since 2014 on operating and sustaining the F-35. Lawmakers plan to further probe the program’s performance in a hearing the House Armed Services tactical air and land forces subcommittee is scheduled to hold Tuesday.” breakingdefense.com/2024/04/f-35-p…
@RepMattGaetz @RealC0rnP0p So long as there’s twerking and drag queens!
@RepMattGaetz Dig a little deeper… Why did Obama cut funding and essentially force Lockheed to slow down the F22 Raptor program? Why did Lockheed have to consolidate the program and move operations from Georgia to Texas? Destruction from within…
