I can see Jubru is going thru withdrawals as HIS president is about to vacate the WH. Don't worry, Jub, your food stamps won't be taken away.
And yep, every carrier is IN port. Which is the point. Duh!

If you mean it's a bad idea to publicize where our carriers are, well, no. It's irrelevant. With satellites our enemies track their movement anyway. They also know when our supply ships and tankers put into a port that a fleet, or a task force, isn't far behind.
No, there is no way to keep the movement of our carrier groups a secret. But, what is important is for said carrier groups to be in the open sea where it can deploy defensive measures and better protect itself. In port, especially a foreign port, there are restrictions and it gets cramped in there.
Our super carrier groups are designed to remain at sea, well, indefinitely. Supplies, fuel can be brought to it, and repairs, maintenance can be performed while at sea. But, all of that takes money. And obummer has so slashed the Pentagon's budget that the Navy has had no choice but to bring our carriers into port.
Here's a little historic tidbit...
Beginning in 1928 the carrier USS Saratoga began patrolling the Pacific, she and her group. She was later joined by the USS Ranger and then the USS Lexington, which put to sea in 1937. With the Lexington joining our fleet in 1937 that began the string of continuous patrols and us having at least one carrier group on active patrol.....until 2016. The USS Enterprise, Yorktown*, and Hornet all were launched in time to be in active service prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
* the Yorktown was launched in 1936 but was kept close to its home port of Norfolk, Virginia mostly for political reasons. Seems high ranking admirals liked to entertain politicians (Congressmen) on board the brand new, swanky ship, I guess to get more funding for more carriers.
Yeah, location information is readily available. There are no secret movements for these.
Nice Summary
THE OTHER RUSH
ERIK RUSH
Obama swan song epitomizes the left's character
Exclusive: Erik Rush says prez would 'be perfectly happy to catalyze World War III'
Published: 5 hours ago
Earlier this week, my WND colleague Jesse Lee Peterson penned a thorough enumeration of actions taken by Barack Hussein Obama since the November general election to do damage to the nation (as we understand it) as well as to delegitimize the presidency of President-elect Donald Trump prior to his inauguration later this month.
Shortly after the election, I admonished readers not to be surprised at anything the left comes up with between now and the day Obama leaves office, and Peterson’s column handily provided bullet points for that argument.
During a weekend appearance on Fox News, pollster Frank Luntz dubbed Obama’s campaign of executive orders, slandering of Russia and attempted sabotage of Trump during his final days as president an “F-You tour.”
Most prominent among Obama’s actions has been his harrying of Russia vis-à-vis accusations that her government somehow influenced the November election in Donald Trump’s favor through digital means despite any evidence whatsoever of this having taken place. Relying as always upon the complicit establishment press to back him up, Obama took punitive steps against Russia in the form of sanctions and the expulsion of some of its diplomats from the U.S., a futile but insulting move calculated to antagonize rather than penalize.
Would Obama be perfectly happy to catalyze World War III through these antics? Probably – but if there’s anything the left’s radical icon Saul Alinsky stressed, it was patience. Chances are that Obama is looking forward to his days as a celebrated elder statesman and the opportunities this will present for furthering his destructive mission.
It is noteworthy that earlier this week, incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer referenced the massive 2015 hack wherein – among other things – millions of federal employees had their unique fingerprint records stolen. While U.S. officials accused China of initiating that event, there were never any repercussions for the Chinese government. This is significant not only because the hacking event was well-publicized, but because some in the Western intelligence community suspected that this was done with the full countenance and cooperation of the administration.
Obama’s federal land grabs and clandestine importation of yet more unvetted Muslims into American cities further validate the contention that these actions are deliberately spiteful. Rest assured that we can look forward to more of this sort of thing prior to Inauguration Day.
One may recall that a hallmark of the Obama administration has been its habit of doubling-down on questionable policies and criminal procedures when confronted, threatened, or when one of its dark machinations are brought to light. When Border Patrol officer Brian Terry was killed by drug cartel soldiers in 2010, thus revealing the motivation behind the administration’s Fast and Furious gunrunning operation (this being to foster a widespread and irrational fear of firearms via turning our southern border states into a war zone), Obama and his minions did not dial back their actions. Rather, they proceeded to exploit each and every subsequent crime in which a firearm was employed as evidence of the need to incorporate draconian firearms measures into law. Some suspect that the administration may even have orchestrated a high-profile gun crime or three to drive home the point; it is difficult to make this determination, since the principals in these incidents are, and are likely to remain, quite dead.
Obama’s current exploits are certainly consistent with regard to this particular modus operandi.
What kind of person would feverishly engage in actions so demonstrably harmful to our national security, domestic tranquility and which fly in the face of the rule of law?
Some of us have been addressing this question for the last eight years. The answer? A malignant narcissist who, as I said last week in this space, possesses the belief that his worldview is so superior to all others that he has the right to impose it upon everyone else. Factor therein a deep hatred of America (as we understand it), and we have a ruthless, ends-justify-the-means dictator who has not been recognized as such only due to the treachery of the press and the American progressive-socialist machine it serves.
Another answer: The sort of person who can smarmily lie time and again regarding his having saved millions of American jobs while half of our workforce is out of work, or about his signature health-care law having covered millions of uninsured Americans when in fact the law has forced millions into the federal system of substandard medical care.
Yet another answer: A person whose policies directly led to the deaths, maiming and enslavement of tens of thousands of souls across the Middle East and Africa, and who could sleep like a baby after deliberately leaving American diplomatic personnel to die at the hands of jihadis one night in Benghazi, Libya.
The widespread baseless accusations, fearmongering and despotism in which Obama has engaged since the election underscore who he is at his core: An ill-bred, horribly maladjusted and arguably psychopathic low-level street organizer and catty, vindictive bath-houser who has been allowed to believe his own publicity for far too long.

Propping up US-Iraqi Mosul flop exposed Baghdad
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis Dec 31, 2016, 5:20 PM (IDT)
US and Iraqi military reinforcements were rushed this week to the crumbling Mosul front line to prop up the few positions still held by the Iraqi army and prevent the US-backed offensive from crashing into defeat at ISIS hands. The Islamists took advantage of the transfer of Iraqi troops to Mosul for their first major terrorist attack in central Mosul in three months, killing 28 people and injuring 40, as well as declaring war on Jordan.
