I mean, the Media blasted us with the Cornell 7 story, right up until the, you know, actual details came out, then every single media outlet dropped it like it was red hot metal.

Funny, that.

Of when to use the whipping post:

A “Virginia man” has been arrested for allegedly using a sledgehammer to behead an Iwo Jima statue at a US Marine Corps Base on Wednesday.

Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27, was found by Prince William County (PWC) police ‘actively damaging’ the Iwo Jima statue in Quantico, Virginia.

10 solid lashes with a bullwhip would not only be a great punishment for this idiotic destruction, but also a deterrent for others, especially if it was livestreamed.

Sometimes people need an assbeatin’. 10 lashes would do it as well.

Cool Hand Luke got worse for less, after all.

As they promise retribution to anyone who is critical of them, and promise mayhem if they come back in power. 

Funny, innit, how they think that the rules shouldn’t apply to them when they are on power, but that those same rules should protect them when they aren’t.

But that’s been their modus operadi as long as I have been alive.

It’s the same as with the Arabs, when they are winning, then it’s one set of rules, when they aren’t then they cry for protection.

Childish enough that it makes me not want them for leaders.

and stay out of the arenas while any of these teams are playing.

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).
