WNBA stars defy fan fury and walk off the court before the national anthem AGAIN ahead of Game 2 of Finals

Spoiled little bitches, Mediocre players that have to be subsidized by the male NBA players so they can afford to play women’s ball.

If just once, for a single game, the fans would stay away, the women (and their employers) would learn the lesson.

After chasing phantoms and a bunch of intermittent problems, I think they finally fixed the autopilot issues on my plane.

It holds a course, holds an altitude to better than 20 feet, and will make a proper coordinated turn when commanded by the GPS, Will follow a glide slope and a localizer.

This is the original Cessna 400B autopilot coupled to a GNS 750.

A new modern digital autopilot is nearly $100K…

But we spent a month or more chasing issues on the original one, , but now it works as well as anything I can buy today. Took a while to find the issue(s), but it works now, better than it did from the factory.

Such is the fun of owning a 45 year old airplane.  The issues creep up and take time to find.

The flight was smooth and the view was excellent though: We could see for nearly a hundred miles. At all three stops we could see the airports at better than 40 miles.

And maybe even the whipping post.

I heartily agree with the decision to livestream the public execution by firing squad of Major Nidal Hasan on December 3rd.

Such will be the lesson to those who would perpetrate terror on our citizens and our Military. This is how you end, not in heroism, nor a martyr, but in ignominy.

Were it up to me I’d demonstrate even more by burying him in the embrace of a slaughtered pig, to make sure he does not find his way to his 72 Virgins. And I’d livestream that as well, as an object lesson to the others who might think to martyr themselves. This isn’t religion, it is the punishment fitting the crime.

I think public hangings would be a good lesson to those who would prey on others, and whippings at the post would be a great deterrent (and great punishment for significant  (but less than capital) crimes to those who cannot seem to learn to obey the laws of the society in which they live.

Now they are looking at eliminating nickels too:

It’s common sense that common cents are getting less use in Americans’ daily lives. Congress has already taken action to eliminate the lowest rung — the penny — and now another coin collecting dust in people’s wallets could be on the chopping block next. 

Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., who led the bill in the Senate, told Fox News Digital, “More and more Americans are paying with credit cards, debit cards and stablecoins for everyday purchases that once would have been made with cash or coins.”

They will nibble their way through the coins we use, eliminating them one by one and then end bills for the same reason.

Bet on it, 10 years from now you will have to use electronic means of payment…No cash left at all. there will be no alternative except barter. Everything will be traceable (and taxable).

You should read the transcript of Marco Rubio’s speech in Greece:

some excerpts:

The word “nationalism” became a dirty word.  And so we tore down our monuments; we condemned our own history.  And in too many places, we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit.  In the process, we opened our borders and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay. 

and:

Now for all their lofty ideals, the ancient Greeks were not naive.  They understood that nations have interests.  They understood that statecraft requires prudence and diplomacy, but they also understood that it requires the ability to wield force when prudence and diplomacy fail.  They understood that power requires not only having the means to defend yourself, it requires the credibility that you are willing to use it.

Damned straight.

Time to realize that the wants and needs and aims of the Globalists are not the same as the need of the US (Or Greece) …and that we have to put our country, our culture, and our PEOPLE first.

A man has died after being mauled by a tiger at a zoo when he allegedly leapt into its enclosure, police have said.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The good news is that there are no plans to euthanize the tiger because of a stupid ass getting himself killed.

Yeah, others call it “Indigenous People’s day” but it is “Columbus day”.

You can try to rewrite history, but as long as I am here, it will be called “Columbus Day”.

You can whine about it, you can disagree about it them you would, once again, be in the wrong.

We named it after the man whose expedition discovered the continent, not the “indigenous Peoples” who later couldn’t hold their own against the superior white europeans.

(Note: This appears to be a single source report, everyone is just repeating it, and it may or may not be verifiable…..His campaign is denying it….but then again;  the DNC told us Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack until the Debate where his mental state became most obvious and un-hideable…..So I really don’t know….But if you are in Texas you should be all over this until it is fully disproven)

Claims are that James Talarico spent 12 days in an Ohio mental institution….Campaign says he had the flu. Someone is lying

Either way, it is odd that he disappeared for 12 days at the height of campaign season. innit?

I don’t know for sure ither way…..I do know that every time I see a campaign ad with Talarico in it I have the very strong urge to punch him in the face….There is something false, weasely and evil about his demeanor that I simply cannot stand.
