Instead of England.
I mean, it’s All Coronation All the Time. All over the News stations.
All the major “News” shows are fawning over the King. I guess it is the costumes or just the pomp and circumstance. I dunno.
Fuck that. I don’t care.
If you want a King, go to England.
All I wanted from the TV was a weather forecast, fer chrissake.
Lying Bastards. (Notice this was back in January)
Since they couldn’t make it happen on a Federal level, they are doing it on a State level.
Today: New York becomes the first state to ban gas stoves in new residential building construction
Expect California to be next, maybe Oregon first, but California is gonna enact a ban soon. The idea will be to reduce the market in the US so the price of gas stoves will go up and people will choose the cheaper electric alternative. Tried and true strategy…
They lied about the “danger” of using gas stoves with a crappy study, then they floated the idea of a ban at the Federal level and it was met with outrage….so now they will nibble away at the gas stove industry state by state instead.
Expect soon that they will also go after gas heating and gas water heaters in the next year or so as well…..Of course, for the most part, the replacement electric appliances need either coal or natural gas burned to provide the wattage to do their job….and we aren’t gonna have enough “Renewables” to fill the need….much less enough to also charge all those electric vehicles. Why does it matter if you burn Natural gas in a power plant to make electricity to heat your food or burn the gas at the point of cooking?
But remember that they lied about coming for your gas stove.
Trust your government at your own risk. They think they know what is good for you….and they are gonna give it to you good and hard.
The media is showing us all of the poor “Migrants” that are building up at the border…..
Most of them have clean clothes after (supposedly) walking for thousands of miles…..sleeping on the ground, eating whatever they could find,….. just struggling to get to the United States.
But they all, somehow, have clean, relatively unworn (or brand new!) clothing. They all appear to be fairly well fed….in fact, kinda overweight really (this after walking thousands of miles, remember).
And these poor migrants, without a penny to their name, also all have brand new cell phones.
Funny, I think the narrative they are giving us isn’t the truth….
And we don’t want ’em in the good neighborhoods, so we will put ’em on the South Side. Where they won’t bother us wealthy people”
South Side folks:
“Oh Hell No, we don’t want the crime, the drugs, or the lowered property values. ”
Seems that the Black people on the South Side of Chicago don’t want those dirty Undocumented Migrants any more than the wealthy white people do….
(Funny, I bet that the mostly white people living in the South Side of Chicago 50 years ago said the same thing about crime and drugs and property values when they began moving Black people into their neighborhoods)
(I’m thinking politicians, but that’s just me….)
Today, May 4th, 2023 Is International Firefighters day.
So, just to make them feel needed, let’s go set something on fire.
Everyone have fun. Don’t hurt anyone.
(DUH)
Seems that now another whisleblower has come forward regarding a story that we already knew about but no one would investigate…Only this time some congressweasels are (supposedly) gonna force the FBI and DOJ to at least look at the allegations.
Of course, one must realize that all this is coming to the fore NOW, rather than before the election is so that they can keep him from running again. His usefulness is over. He got elected and Trump lost.
‘twould have been nice for the voters, the American people, to have known the truth before they voted, Much like the Hunter laptop story, the DOJ sat on it (and would still be but for whisleblowers) until well after the election. After all, “Anyone But Trump” was pretty much the mantra in all Federal offices, wasn’t it?
There is a “Deep State” we just don’t have anyone capable or willing to do anything about it.
So I took the Plasma Cutter down to the barn and started cutting it with the 220 VAC hooked up rather than the 110VAC in the garage. Big difference. LOTs more cut power.
Much better. It eats 0.60 aluminum with ease There is some buildup on the tip from splatter, so you do have to clean it periodically, but that is workable. I might try some welding anti-spatter gel to mitigate some of that.
Like any plasma cutter, you gotta hold the tip flat to the work. This one is somewhat more sensitive than the others I’ve used to tip angle. The plasma flame isn’t as long as I would like (and as the Miller unit my neighbor has) but that may just take some work with the settings.
Having said that, it cuts like a hot knife through butter. Go too fast and it can (and will!) remelt, but that is just a matter of technique.
So far, I am pretty happy. I used it for over 20 minutes at pretty much 100% duty cycle at nearly 100% of the power setting, and it had no issues with overheating or anything.
Gonna play a bit more and see how the settings changes affect the efficiency. Sadly, the manual is typical Chinglish with few real tips, so I gotta just experiment a bit.
Overall, I would recommend it. Good purchase
He knew because he had been working for Joe Biden on the whole Burisma deal all along. He was in contact with Hunter Biden. Emails not a part of the Laptop investigations show this…..
Why is this, and the work done with his story by the Media, not “Election Interference”?
Why is he not charged with perjury (at a minimum?) For that matter, why is Hunter Biden still not yet jailed?
Seems that the mayors of New York and now Chicago are complaining about all those dirty illegal immigrants “Undocumented Migrants” being bussed to their cities. They cause budget issues as they need to be housed and fed, and are somewhat disruptive, causing crime and sanitation and other issues…..
Funny, they failed to take any of that into account when they wanted open borders, didn’t they? They didn’t care that Texas and all the other border states get 10 times that many people to deal with every day….
Spread the Pain to every “Sanctuary City, Mr Abbott!

I am impressed. Very.
I have a bunch of metal stuff to cut up. Mostly aluminum. I could have just used a sawzall, but the aluminum tends to gum up the blades quickly and I’d go through a fair bunch of ’em even if I cleaned the aluminum out of ’em…., and so I thought I’d try a plasma cutter.
Now, my neighbor has a very nice unit that I have used at his shop, a Miller, that takes 220V and, while it is a very nice tool, is priced at about 3200 bucks. So I looked up the specs, and went shopping. Amazon has one that has very similar specs, had good reviews, is 110/220 for $299 plus a $50 “in-store coupon”…..so I tried one. This one has all the goodies: Self starting pilot arc, post arc airflow to cool the tip, etc. I hated to buy a chinese one, but $249 vs $3400 is a big jump…..And I can always send it back to Amazon if I ain’t happy….So I ordered it:
I gotta say I am impressed. I set it up in the shop by the house, where it is warm, and even on 110V it did a decent job (Don’t have the correct 220 outlets for it in that shop) Hooked up the bits, connected shop air, did a bit of adjustment and within a half hour was burning some scrap 0.060 “stainless…then some 0.090″ aluminum and some 1/8 steel.
Now, I was too lazy to go down to the big shop and get a welding helmet, and that arc isn’t too good on the eyes, so I stopped playing…..(’twas high winds and rain, and I just wasn’t motivated to go outside). I cut over 3 feet at one pass of the scrap aluminum on 110V and didn’t pop a 20 amp breaker….I’m not sure what it would do with 220VAC…The reviews say that 1/2” steel is no issue, but we will see….
So far, I am impressed. When I get down to the big shop I will have a go with thicker aluminum and some mild steel, but so far, I am impressed. I might just bring it over to my neighbors place and try it side by side with his…..the only issue I can see is that the stinger cord is only 8 (actually 10) feet instead of 20, and the ground cord is only 10 feet instead of 20….but for less than 1/10 the price I think I can move it more often. I gotta find a decent case to carry it in, but that shouldn’t be too hard.
