Is DEI about to kill Lockheed for good?
A rumor was swirling around online after New York Post financial correspondent Lydia Moynihan claimed to have overheard Trump telling Lockheed's CEO he was canceling a contract worth $1 trillion.
The F-35 has long been derided as one of the worst fighter jets ever made still having serious "reliability" and "maintainability" issues in 2023.

The plane breaks so often that it's reported that only an average of 51% of America's entire fleet of them is operable at any given time.

On November 25, Elon Musk had a hot take on the F-35 program, and is no doubt recommending the program's elimination through DOGE. He called the plane "broken at the requirements level," "obsolete in the age of drones," and a plane that will "get pilots killed."
Current estimates are saying the cost of the program will more likely hit $2 trillion.

Is that where Americans should be spending their tax money??
