We voted for deportations. GTF out or be thrown out.

Charlie Kirk is sounding the alarm over what he claims is growing pressure from “ruling class” donors urging President Donald Trump to trade deportations for amnesty

I don’t care if the business owners and farm owners and other businesses and the “Ruling Class” need cheap labor. They can pay more or invest in automation. Not every business gets cheap labor from illegals and they somehow survive. I ran a motel for 20 years without illegal labor. Even made money some years. If the farms need labor, they can pay for it, same-same slaughterhouses, hotels, construction gangs, etc.

If the donations dry up, too bad…the votes won’t.

We want the illegals gone. Period,, Stop

In the 340.

It was humid.

Oddly, despite loading no chemicals, I left a contrail at 11,500 feet over Lake Michigan.

So did most of the planes whose paths I crossed under.

Just sayin’

RFK could not be reached for comment.

Funny how burring a hydrocarbon leaves water vapor as a byproduct, innit?  Must be some chemistry there or something.

“Epstein didn’t commit suicide”

Now “There is no client list“.

I expected better from a Trump DOJ, The Biden folks I expected (and was not surprised) to be corrupt. But I thought there would be some integrity with Trump’s people.

Does anyone believe that Epstein didn’t keep a client list? Really?

Or that he committed suicide?

One wonders what pressure was brought to thee people, and by whom? Who is afraid of what story coming out? Someone very rich and powerful, I am thinking.

Children’s camps wiped out by floods.

The people running these camps, from counselors on upwards (if they survived), should be charged with negligent homicide for not heeding the warnings. Every parent should get one good whack with a sick on each of them as long as they survive.

Low-lying children’s camps flooded, leading to dozens of dead and missing. 

Say a prayer for those missing children and their families. It doesn’t look good.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Got the 340 back yesterday.

Seems fine (so far). 2.4 hours and no issues.

A friend flew me there in an RV-6. Nice airplane, if a bit small. Fast airplane for what it is. Tiny airplane with a fairly powerful engine for it’s size. 150knots at 8K. Very responsive and really easy to fly. I did help him learn some finer points about his 650 GPS, which seemed to help him.

Flying back from Minneapolis:

17,000 feet at about 77% power I got 218 knots for about a half hour, but the outside air temps went up by 5 degrees F and I just couldn’t keep the cylinder heads cool enough, so I had to bring it back a bit.

ATC was pretty good until of course, Chicago….they didn’t want to descend me (as usual) and soon I was 40 miles away with 16,000 feet to lose. I finally demanded lower and so they turned me south rather than the easterly direction I needed and descended me…first to 12K, then 8K….then they just plain forgot about me (as usual)….I called “Chicago approach, question” and got back “Go direct destination” ….They knew that I knew that they had forgotten me.

So that cost me about 10 minutes.

I turned for home, called the field about 14 miles out, cancelled IFR and made a base leg entry, and landed.

Landing was good, right into the wind, and I made the 2500 ft turnoff with room to spare. Took the long way back for taxi as I wanted to let the turbos cool down for a bit.

We shall see. So far, no issues with the engine. The oil looks clear and clean, but there isn’t that many hours on it yet.

“really, who they’re taking is our ice cream men, our nannies and our gardeners”   (They are still fucking illegal, you asinine twit, and I (and a majority of my fellow citizens) want EVERY illegal gone, no matter where they came from or how long they have been here)

So, in comments on the Alligator Alcatraz deportation facility , one of my new (and not terribly welcome) commenters used Ambrocio Lozano as an example of why the facility is a bad thing:

Let us look at the facts…..Firstly, Los Angeles. which explains a lot….normalization of illegals not even trying to hide their status, blatant disregard for immigration laws for many years

Second, this was a man who was, apparently, well liked in the community. He sold ice cream.

But: He was living here, in the United States, illegally, for 20 or more years. 20 years in which he could have applied for citizenship, He chose not to do so. 

In addition, if he was so beloved by the community, he could have been sponsored for citizenship by some of those people that liked him in their community…(assuming anyone is that community is a citizen), which may or may not be,

The fact that a man chose to live here illegally for 20 years, was confident enough to run a business, in a community and never chose to become a citizen, and that the other folks living in that community see no issue with it is also part of the problem.

I am sorry that Mr. Lozano got picked up by ICE. But he had 20 years in which to do the right thing, to become a citizen, to do things the legal way. He chose not to do so. The fact that the people, the government in LA, and in California, chose to normalize such behavior , that they think that somehow, Mr.  Lozano has earned a place here without bothering to become a citizen (or get a green card) is also an issue.

We have laws, and Mr. Lozano  chose to (and was, for some reason, allowed to) flaunt them. Is he a part of the crime problem? Maybe (probably) not. Is his presence here still illegal? Yes. Every illegal should be detained and deported. The fact that ICE is picking the low hanging fruit rather than going after the gangsters and such first is an issue, but at the end of it, had Mr. Lozano cared about our laws, or had any loyalty to the US, he could have become legal in one way or another. He chose not to. The fact that for 20 years everyone knew that he was illegal and didn’t care, and allowed him to stay illegally is another societal issue with California and Liberals….and the fact that they  use his example to decry the (finally!) enforced immigration laws and believe he is a reason to stop the deportations shows their idiocy. Every single illegal needs to be deported, no matter how long they have been here, no matter how many legal family members thy might have in the US….no matter what, Illegal should equal deported.

Why they think that somehow, for some reason, just because he stayed in a community (illegally) for 20 years he somehow, for some reason has earned a place in our country, because he got away with flaunting our laws for 2 decades,….That he gets some special consideration I do not understand.

How many years of squatting illegally does it take to earn a place in this country?  At what point does it happen that your illegal activities get erased?
