Cehck this out…DoD: Army Successfully Tests Top Secret Hypersonic Weapon..abcnews
A Defense spokesperson would not say how similar the Army’s AHW program is to the hypersonic jet tested — and momentarily lost — by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in August. That jet was designed to travel at a blistering Mach 20, fast enough to travel from Los Angeles and New York in just 12 minutes.

Good job, CD, you are spot on. Now, if we could get the authorities to ENFORCE existing gun laws we might see some improvement there. Too many crooks are caught with guns but are not given the extra punishment due for committing armed crimes.

Highway 12 is a road by which we travel but the road is not the problem. Highway 12 much like guns doesn’t kill people, idi*ts do. I have driven that road in cars and trucks a thousand times and had my share of close calls. There needs to be improvements but that alone isn’t enough. Driver education is lacking thanks to parents exhibiting inept “skills” while their kids are the captive audience. There is no end to the stu*idity we see every day from people sanctimoniously trashing the Vehicle Code as they blindly hurtle their 5000 pound weapon down the road. I spoke with a parent at my grandkid’s school yesterday complaining about a woman speeding by as he was helping his little girl out of the car. He gestured like “really?” and the woman flipped him off! Parents: WTF? You are dashing through residential and school zones with your own child and recklessly endangering others? You are complete imb*ciles and need to be addressed as this gentleman and I discussed. Our roads certainly need work, but all the safety nets, all the education and beautiful asphalt will do nothing unless we have cops in large enough numbers to cite these idi*ts careening through our cities while performing unsafe passing/ recklessness on rural roads. So go ahead and make the improvements, but first get these offenders on the same page. We can generate a LOT of revenue and make folks more aware with zero tolerance, full time traffic divisions that will keep us safer in the interim. BTW, the speed limit on Highway 12 is 55MPH. I drive that speed out there so when you come up on me, back off or safely go around without the “salute,” thank you.
