AAAANND… there you go

Nothin’ to see here folks. Move along.

So a bunch of past NRA presidents have written a letter saying that they support Wayne LaPierre. Big deal. (may have to hit the “X” in the uper right corner to view the facebook page)

I notice that the past two presidents, Ollie North and Pete Brownell AREN’T signatories.

And the letter doesn’t explain the abuses.

Oddly enough, as a Life Member, I didn’t get the letter….but I DO  get 3-5 a week explaining why they need me to dig deeper into my pockets to help the NRA meet their bills as they Continue the Fight to Keep My Rights (and Keep WLP in good suits and to fuel his plane).

Not a dime, not one thin dime until WLP goes and we get some fiscal responsibility and some new and honest Board members and perhaps a restructuring….

The NRA has become what the Wounded Warrior Project did. A travesty and a Farce.  A profit center for the directors.

If I could get a refund on my Life Membership, I would do so. 

Midwest flooding

Lots of rain in a short time…..

Oddly, low lying areas flooded when Mother Nature dumps large amounts of rain in a very short time.

I would bet good money that the areas that have flooded in Oklahoma and other places have flooded before. Maybe not every year, nor every 10 years, but it has happened at that spot before.
But people build there, and are then surprised when their houses flood when the area gets torrential rain.

Abortion protests

Didja notice that the signs held up by these “grassroots” protesters are professionally printed?

Odd, that, when we are told by the media that these are not professionally organized, that this is “Just a spontaneous protest by concerned women”

More holding practice

This is turning out to be harder than I thought it would….

Winds at 3000 feet were pretty stout from south to north. And my hold was east to west.

My hold wasn’t the nice oval that it is supposed to be. Nor were the legs each the same length. more like a teardrop. Gotta work on that.

Having said that, My approaches to 2 different airports were pretty nice. But not what they need to be.

My straight and level flying on instruments isn’t too bad, nor are my climbs and turns…my navigation is pretty decent too. But the holds are a bitch.

This IFR flying is difficult sometimes….But practice will improve that, I think.

like learning to shoot well, practice and a decent teacher are the key.

I cannot help

but wonder how many times David Begnaud got his ass kicked in High School or at whatever College he attended….I mean, wedgies or locked in a locker or faced in the toilet or other sorts of Bad Things in humiliation because of his looks and mannerisms.

I mean, he’s obviously someone’s boifriend who is a player at CBS…..
And he’s just kinda weasely and creepy.

But hey, however he got there, whatever he had to do to get his job at CBS,  I am sure he makes more money monthly than I do yearly.

Toldya so….

Seems that women are finding that that #MeeToo movement is hurting their chances to advance in business….and now women say that that is unfair and now men need to “Step Up”.

Those terrible, mean, insensitive, uncaring men won’t meet with them one on one, won’t take them to lunches or dinners for mentoring, won’t travel with them.…Just to protect themselves from accusations….

Odd, that. Being accused of rape, or attempted rape, or other sexual improprieties scares men. Frightens them that they could lose their careers, reputations, and incomes…

And who can blame them?

Women are reaping what they sowed. 

And Congratulations

To my Niece. Who is now a Nurse.

Lots of hard work, lots of dedication. And more hard work.

And graduated with a degree that will be useful to her for the rest of her life.

An actual, degree that will provide her with a job.

Some smart young ladies in my family there.

But….that’s not what they told us!

So it would seem that there are FEWER racist incidents and fewer racist comments since Trump was elected....not more as we were told.

Odd, isn’t it? How often the Media and the Democrats LIE about things Trump.

But then again, the Media is, mostly, just spokespersons for the Democrats and repeaters of Democrat propaganda.

Are there still racists out there? Yes. Lots….too many. Both sides. Black Racism is still prevalent, and Latino racism, while still out there, si simply less strident. White racism gets more press, but there isn’t more now than there was then…it is simply what the press chooses to cover (and, more importantly, what the press chooses NOT to cover to hide and to influence public opinion…..).

Another nail in the coffin

of Chicago.

Hospitals will be forced to give more free care.

Wanna bet that this will increase the number of hospitals closing in Chicago? It certainly isn’t gonna induce anyone to open another state-of-the-art hospitals…

And why should anyone pay for water now? Mayor Lightfoot claims that she will immediately stop water service shutoffs for non-payment. 

So who is gonna pay for the water system? Upkeep and replacement and upgrades? in 20 years Chicago’s water system will be worse that Flint Michigan’s.

The only thing that Lightfoot had over her opponent was that she wasn’t part of the Chicago Machine…But she is a socialist who has no clue how to run a city.

Chicago had little choice….A socialist who will destroy the city or a Machine Politician who would loot it.

Expect Chicago to move more towards the Baltimore model in the next 4 years. the “Rich” will move to the surrounding areas and Chicago will end up with only the poor and the indigent….And business areas will soon move elsewhere too, as crime increases….Just like the current South Side issues.
