"president trump has chosen this day to commit an act of cowardice"

(grant)angry reaction to the latest early morning tweets from the oval officepresident trump tweeted, "after consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u-s military. ( )the announcement came out of the blue ... and landed like a bombshell.( )even the pentagon seemed to be caught by surprise.catherine heenan is here to sell us about it. (catherine) the head of the senate armed services committee, john mccain, called it "yet another example of why major policy announcements should not be made via twitter." the transgender decision is being slammed by everyone from san francisco mayor ed lee, to some of the most conservative members of congress. "mr. president, how did you decide your policy on transgender people in the military?"'she's very rude,'

the president left it to his press sceretary to explain why the military should be barred to transgender individuals. "this is a very disruptive and expensive policy and based on consultation he's had with his national security team, came to the conclusion that it erodes military readiness and unit cohesion and made the decision based on that."an extensive rand corporation study for the pentagon came to just the opposite conclusion. it estimates that there are between 1,000 and 7,000 transgender service members on active duty out of a total of 1=point=3 million in uniform. the increased medical cost, primarily gender reassignment, would amount to at most a little over one tenth of one percent of the pentagon budget. and based on experience in foreign countries, allowing transgenders to serve openly would have a minimal effect on morale and readiness."i was shocked."retired united states navy seal kristin beck says the ban may backfire."i think all the lawsuits and the contracts he's gonna break and eveything else may wind up being more expensive for someone like me who has cost the taxpayer zero dollars.it's still unclear whether transgender members of the

military serving in afghanistan and elsewhere will be removed from their posts. that's something the white house and the pentagon will have to work together as implementation takes place ... this is a military decision about military readiness.lbgt activists are gearing up for a battle ... in court.we deserve the rights to fight for what we love. as a trans service member, i have fought very long and hard to be my authentic self. no one is going to take that passion, or my love for my country, away from me."" a pentagon spokesperson responded in a statement..saying they haven't received any formal guidance...and are referring all questions on the policy move, to the white house. grant?

(vicki) these are pictures of nearly 600 pounds of methamphetamine seized in a raid last week. kron4's maureen kelly reports that the alleged scheme involved one of the suspects flying the drugs across the pacific in a single engine plane. it's a bizarre story and it reminds me a lot of the movie dumb and dumber and this one would be entitled dumbest ever. robert nicolas of propjet aviation says he meet the suspected drug runner when he helped broker his purchase of a modified cesna p2-10. this is a picture of the man he knew as john gorman. he says the 72 year old only told him he wanted to fly the plane from santa rosa across the pacific back home to australia. nicolas says he only found out about the scheme when his hanger at the santa rosa airport was raided by dea agents a few days after they'd uncovered the massive amounts of meth at a santa rosa warehouse. there's just no way. no way this is real.nicolas says he still finds this story surreal, not only because gorman didn't seem like the type to smuggle drugs with a us street value of over 200 million

dollars.but also because the alleged plot was so ill conveived.he was the worst pilot i ever flew with ever. ever.the man who trained him on this model plane says they they tried to talk him out what they assumed at the time was a bucket list trip.i wouldn't fly across the ocean in us in a single engine airplane it's not very smart but while much of this alleged scheme doesn't make a lot of sense to the folks here at prop jet aviation they say one of the biggest head scratchers is how with the suspect would have been able to fit all those drugs in this little planethis is a plane similar to what was seized by the feds. except the seats were taken out to fit all the fuel he's need to make it to hawaii. after we found out about the extra cargo he was putting on. the plane would've never gotten the air he would just crash and burn right here at the airportthe man they knew as john gorman was arrested along with two other suspects in australia were arrested for conspiracy to smuggle drugs and money laundering. maureen kelly kron4 news.

let loose on the road with a professional driver by their side.and that's when the trouble started. there's a bike in the road there, bump, ohh, you hit a cyclistdid the bike seem overly close?not at all.but we hit it anyway.if we hadn't have heard it i wouldn't have knownthe company behind the testing ended up with a dented car and some scary test results. even the drivers with thc levels on the low side made fatal mistakes on the roadway.what was most compelling and frightening frankly is that all three drivers hit in the bicyclists in the construction zone. they would have killed that cyclist the company says they plan to conduct more tests to try and narrow down what level of thc in the breath makes stoners unsafe to drive.they are planning to have the hound breathlyzer ready to roll out for commercial use at the end of the year. maureen kelly kron4 news.a bay area company that says they've developed pot breatherlyzer puts their product to the test.
