Stop running socialists. Stop promoting people who would punish success with higher taxes.
Stop promoting More State. More regulations. More “Government” (and Government “workers”)
Stop decrying Free Speech (when you don’t like what is being said).
Stop threatening our Second Amendment.
Stop threatening our way of life by threatening our energy supply.
Stop promising Free Shit (paid for by others) to folks who can work, but choose not to, or who have just entered the country.
Stop promising Globalism over Nationalism. We like our country. We don’t wanna be like Europe.
Stop hating on the United States. Stop denigrating the citizens of this country for their successes.

Stop running crooked slimy people as candidates.

Y’all want to Get Rid Of Trump?

Give people something to vote FOR, rather than leaving them to vote for Trump because your candidate scares them too much to garner their vote.

(The same goes for you RNC type folks too, BTW…we don’t want “DNC Lite”. “Less Socialist, less Statist”  nor “less crooked than the last guy”, nor another milquetoast legacy candidate.)

Donne was and is FAR from the ideal candidate. But he was far and above the other choices.
 Yet they haven’t, as far as I can see, come up with anyone worth voting FOR. Nor has their message for the past few years been “Vote for our people because we are better” but rather “That Trump dude is bad because we don’t like him!”.

And so we are left with the “Lesser of the two weasels”.

Sad, really. 

However, 15+ years after, the use of that word is a Bad Thing….When it is used by a Republican to describe the 4th or 5th attempt by Democrats to unseat the sitting president.

And the Faux Outrage by the black Congressmen and women and Senators (and, of course, the Media) about the use of the word “Lynching” is outrageously funny to me. Like any of them have ever seen a lynching, or that it was only black people who were ever lynched.

It is as stupid as black people being triggered by seeing a noose on a Halloween display.

Justin Trudeau.

He was reelected to his post, but not by the majority of the citizens of Canada. He lost the popular vote. 

Since our media and our Socialist Democratic Party government members claimed that our legally elected President was an illegitimate president because even though he garnered the majority of the Electorate votes, he narrowly missed the popular vote…

Are they gonna refuse to deal with Trudeau and his government from this point on? I mean, an illegitimate government isn’t one that we can negotiate trade deals on, nor other matters of state, right? Treaties and other military obligations? Can’t do it with an illegitimate Head of State, right? WIll his signature on any document even be recognized as that of the Canadian People?

I can’t wait for the tapdancing to begin.

Duh. Who could have predicted that? Give people entire neighborhoods, don’t force them to integrate (or even learn the native language) and then expect anything else??

Further:
“This (multicultural) approach has failed, utterly failed,”
She said too little had been required of immigrants in the past and repeated her usual line that they should learn German in order to get by in school and have opportunities on the labor market.

Merkel said allowing people of different cultural backgrounds to live side by side without integrating had not worked

She said on Saturday that the education of unemployed Germans should take priority over recruiting workers from abroad,

Did she walk to the protest? Or did she take a cab or use a car? Is that apartment heated with some kind of renewable fuel? Or is it electric or gas? How about the lighting? Is it done by electricity? Whale oil (a renewable) or solar charged batteries (doubtful)….

How about Sam Waterson? (another aging actor apparently addicted to the spotlight). How did he get to the protest? Walking? Bicycle (which would have been made using…fossil fuels….) Google says his house is in Woodbury Connecticut…a pretty long walk for anyone, much less an old man….

I’d believe these folks were True Believers if their lifestyles reflected it.

As it is, I only see a pair of hypocrites.

Visibility was nearly unlimited and there were FEW clouds at 11000. A beautiful day to fly.

We met at the airport and preflighted. The plane was full of fuel, and we got in and taxiied.

Ian had never flown before, but had a great deal of time in a gaming flight simulator. He knew what all the instruments were for and he asked intelligent questions as we taxiied.

We taxiied to the runup area at the end of Runway 18, and started the runup checklist. Up to this point, everything was perfect….

When it came time to check the mags, there was a BIG drop on the right mag (more than 300 rpm), so I pulled the mixture to a leaner setting to clean the plugs.

The engine died. I pushed the mixture back to full rich as it was winding down, but it still died.

It wouldn’t restatrt either, until I primed it. Normally, with a warm engine, the restart is after only a blade or two, no prime required. This time, it needed priming and ran like dogshit.

When the engine DID restart (and there were 3 planes waiting behind for me to take off(or get out of the way)!) it ran very rough and backfired. Acted like a fuel issue..as if it were running lean. Very rough. Wouldn’t idle, I had to keep the throttle at half in order to keep it running at all.

“Doesn’t look like we are flying today” I told Ian. “Sorry”.

I waited for the aircraft on a long final and the one on base to land (just in case I corked up the runway with a dead engine) , then announced on CTAF  that I was having engine issues and would be taxiing on RWY 18. I taxiiied down the runway as fast as I could (not very fast) to the first turnoff and got off the runway. I was afraid the engine might die and I would be blocking the active runway, but we got there. I waited for 2 more taxiing aircraft to go past, then taxiied as best I could to the crossing at 9/27 and since there was no one on either runway, we crossed as fast as the engine power would let us (again, not very fast) and returned to the hangar, backfiring engine and running rough all the way. (There is really nowhere else to go or I would have pulled off and walked to have gotten the towcart, but the only place would have been the grass alongside the  taxiway).

I’m glad it happened on runup, as there wasn’t enough engine power to get us fast enough to take off (I’d have had to abort), nor would it have been enough to keep us in the air had it happened after takeoff. I don’t know if it is a mixture cable or a linkage issue, or some other fuel flow issue. Either way, I ain’t flying for a while…

I checked the fuel, (again, after the flight taxi, did so during the preflight as well) and it appeared good (slightly blue (100LL)) and smelled normal. I checked with the person who had been fueled up immediately before me, (A flight school airplane) and they had had no issues. I don’t think it is fuel quality (same fuel/same truck, 10 minutes apart). I had good fuel flow when I opened the fuel strainer bowl drain, more than enough to run the engine, so the issue is after that….like in the carburetor or something else past the fuel strainer.

Poor Ian didn’t get his first flight today though.

We will see what the mechanic has to say on Monday.

Either way, I am grounded until the thing is fixed. It was a bit disconcerting though. Makes me REALLY want a twin now too.

I mean, if they had spent all the effort that they have in somehow damaging Trump finding a way to make a decent budget, or passing some laws to help find a way to combat illegal immigration and help those who would be legal immigrants…perhaps a Guest Worker program….Perhaps combat poverty rather than continue it…..find ways to actually help the environment rather than create regulations that don’t help but do strangle prosperity….

And if the Media were to spend as much effort telling the truth as they do propagandizing for the DNC causes…..

Yet this happened three years ago,,,

The French court sentenced five Muslim women to lengthy prison sentences for attempting to blow up the Notre Dame cathedral.


The women, all converts to Islam, plotted to detonate a car bomb outside the cathedral in September 2016.

“I would like Swalwell, Biden, O’Rourke, and Harris to note that what US gun owners consider play time is what a major news outlet can mistake for a major military offensive by the Forces of a NATO nation. Tell us again how resisting a tyrannical government is futile.”
