She didn’t want to be queen. But she stood up when she had to and did her job duty for 70 years.
Class act, she was.
An example of how to be a leader, and Royalty.
Would that Charles can do half as well. If he were smart, he’d abdicate in favor of his son.
Godspeed Elizabeth, I hope you find your love Phillip waiting for you and you can go forward together.
Tens of Thousands Protest Against Czech Government.
The folks in Europe are getting tired of being used. Bad energy policy has led to sky high energy prices, Asinine environmental policies have led to unstable and unreliable electricity supplies.
Pro Ukraine policies have harmed the average Czech citizen’s economic and energy security….high energy prices and lower wages and higher food prices have led to a decline in their standard of living.
Expect more of this. Expect it in France, and England and Poland and maybe even Germany. All those governments have made similar mistaken policy decisions. At some point people will be huddling in their cold and dark homes. And it ain’t gonna be pretty for the governments when that happens.
And at some point, a bunch of angry Teutonic folks will be a Bad Thing for Europe. It has happened before.
“A miniscule crowd showed up for one of President Joe Biden’s Labor Day rallies in Pennsylvania Monday.
The crowd, which could be described as being in the dozens, gathered outside of the United Steelworkers of America Local Union 2227 hall in West Mifflin, a town southeast of Pittsburgh. The event was open to members of the union.
While some professional photos from the event concealed just how sparse the crowd was, others showed the paltry number of people who showed up to hear the president’s words.
‘Trump fills stadiums, Biden has to count his security detail as part of his ‘crowd.””
Remember, “more votes than any other president”.
Bullshit.
At least, their leaders are.
The people are getting restless…those damned peasants. They are angry over high energy prices, energy insecurity, and rising inflation caused by the first two (most of which is caused by the Green Movements, which the leaders of much of Europe capitulated to years ago, consequences be damned….)
Apparently they are worried that the governments can’t spend enough dollars to keep the peasants happy….and that this will result in (really!!) a series of revolutions.
Interesting, innit?
Damned commie holiday.
I mean, apparently these two folks were able to kill 10 and injure another 15 with KNIVES, a better toll that many “Mass Shootings”.
Perhaps these were high capacity assault knives or something.
Man steals King Air 90 and threatens to crash into Walmart.
As of posting, he still has 2 hours of fuel left and isn’t over Tupelo Missouri any longer.
It isn’t hard to steal a plane, Starting it and taking off (and controlling it once in the air) can be challenging if you don’t know what you are doing, but none of them are that difficult.
I have a feeling that he won’t land it well, and that the plane will be paid off by insurance. Let us hope he doesn’t hurt anyone else.
Update: he has apparently landed.
In a field.
President Brandon Potatohead says that I (and most of my friends and acquaintances) are Enemies of the State.
So be it. I ain’t gonna change what I stand for in fear of a senile old man or the power he thinks (or at least whoever writes his speeches thinks) he can bring to bear.
Leave me alone. Or don’t …Your choice. I am old enough not to care anymore. Your worst fear, really. Got nuthin’ to lose.
Bring it.
I’m a law abiding citizen…. ain’t looking for trouble. But make war on me and mine and…well, fuck around and find out.
So a DNC led (for more than 40 years) city, with Black leadership for over 20 years, that cannot manage it’s infrastructure or finances is somehow the result of racism because their water supply is damaged by flooding.
But it is, of course, the white Man’s fault.
They can’t run the city, they can’t plan for the future, they can’t do any infrastructure improvements, they ahve no funding plan ecept)get the State or the Feds to pay for it”.
But it isn’t the black mayor’s fault, or the DNC led city government, so it MUST be the white (conservative) people who are keepin’ the blacks down…Except the fact that the DNC and the “People Of Color “have run the city for over 40 years.
Perhaps if they learned to take the blame for mismanagement they could learn enough to improve things instead of running them down.
One of the pilots I interact with was a Federal agent in a three Letter agency….Law enforcement. .
Was.
He got tired of the games, the lies, and the political bias and decided to move to a different Federal agency.
He’s tracking fraud now, liking the job much less but able to look into the mirror every morning without hating who he sees.
He admits that he didn’t fix the problem in the agency but he is not struggling with “Follow orders or lose your job” every day. He made the choice to remove himself from the battle.
It isn’t a fix, but it is a start. He’s a good man, and was caught between a rock and a hard place. It is his belief that there is no fix for the agency he left.
