| Nancy's plane turned off its transponder - now we wait | |
| 2022-07-31 | |
SPAR19, a United States Air Force Boeing C-40 Clipper aircraft thought to be carrying Nancy Pelosi, has disappeared from flight tracking service FlightRadar24 after being monitored by as many as 79,000 users at one point. Searching for the SPAR19 callsign or the aircraft’s registration number – 09-0540, brings up a “live flight not found” popup indicating that the plane is “either out of coverage or has already landed.” Users who click “show aircraft history” are met with a “Sorry, historical data for this aircraft is not available” notice. The plane was last spotted coming in for a landing at the Hickam Air Force Base outside Honolulu, after taking off from the Travis Air Force Base near Fairfield, California and making its way west across the Pacific to Hawaii. The plane arrived in California earlier in the day Saturday for a one hour stopover following a cross-continental flight from Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, DC. SPAR19 became FlightRadar24’s most tracked aircraft amid suspicions that Pelosi was onboard, with users tagging the plane with various comments, from “And so it begins” to “WW3 voyage” amid concerns over the implications of her possible trip to Taiwan amid warnings by Chinese officials to stay away. Pelosi herself has not provided any details about her travel plans. On Friday, she told reporters that she never talks about her travel itinerary, “because, as some of you know, it’s a security issue.” Related: Nancy Pelosi: 2022-07-28 Senate Passes Bill to Subsidize Microchips and Build Chip Plants Nancy Pelosi: 2022-07-27 Pelosi in peril: Pentagon plays down fears China will SHOOT DOWN Nancy's plane if she visits Taiwan after Beijing warned U.S will 'bear all consequences' Nancy Pelosi: 2022-07-27 Biden, Xi to hold talks amid new tensions over Taiwan | |

| #9 As much as I admire the might of the Ronald Reagan, it will need backup. 3 Carrier battle Groups for starters, will be impressive enough to cause the Chicoms to 2nd guess themselves! Shore up Guam, loiter a few B2s and be prepared to meet the 100 fighters Beijing will try to swarm The Speaker's plane with. My gut tells me she will back down if a bipartisan representation of the Congress do not accompany her. |

| #6 Aug 4th Link on twitter 〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕美國眾議院議長裴洛西（Nancy Pelosi）展開亞洲行，官方公布的行程暫未列入受到國際關注的台灣。不過《法國國際廣播電台》今天（31日）表示，裴洛西有可能會在8月4日到訪台灣，之後前往日本。 根據《法廣》報導，裴洛西率團訪問亞洲，目的地包括馬來西亞、新加坡、日本、韓國，台灣未列入官方行程中，裴洛西本來也沒有透露相關計畫，指稱此行是為向亞洲盟友展現美國強力支持。 不過《法廣》引述知情人士消息稱，裴洛西將於本週四經菲律賓克拉克美國空軍基地（Clark Air Base）飛抵台灣，並於台北會見總統蔡英文。接著5日下午，裴洛西的座機將降落在日本東京橫田飛行場（Yokota Air Base），計畫與日相岸田文雄會面。 不用抽 不用搶 現在用APP看新聞 保證天天中獎 點我下載APP 按我看活動辦法 |

| #3 On a more serious note... I have found the conduct of Nancy Pelosi reprehensible for many years. The usual corruption between her and her husband is only a mild irritation -- it is her arrogance. Nancy Pelosi wants America remade into a parliamentary democracy and she will preside as Prime Minister For Life™. Arrogance personified in her attempts to usurp the foreign affairs authority of the Executive Branch. I remember her attempts to scuttle any relationship with al-Maliki and the the Iraqi government (corrupt and repulsive as he may be) in the period around the 2006 midterms. Today she wants to insert herself as THE Power Broker™ in Pacific Politics, perhaps for the corrupt money, but certainly because of Vanity. (At this point I feel no charitable impulse that her motives are for her duties as a elected US Representative under the US Constitution she swore to uphold.) Invoke the Logan Act and impeach this harpy... (/rant) |
