BAKER’s ‘safe’ — Ed funding formula REBOOT — DISTRESS from the Martha’s Vineyard ferry 05/11/2018 07:54 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) EYE ON NOVEMBER, FORECAST EDITION —  It's a good week in Bakerworld: a national election forecaster has upgraded Gov.  Charlie Baker  to a lock for re-election, regardless of a "national Democratic tsunami."

Right now, testing shows the F-35 is incapable of performing most of the functions required for an acceptable close support aircraft, functions the A-10 is performing daily in current combat. F-35: Still No Finish Line in Sight Right now, testing shows the F-35 is incapable of performing most of the functions required for an acceptable close support aircraft—functions the A-10 is performing daily in current combat. As initially advertised, and throughout the program’s development, taxpayers have been told this exorbitantly costly system is necessary to combat advanced future threats. However, testing results show that  the planes already delivered cannot even effectively address the current threats.  That’s a problem.
