I mean, we approve of all the liberal stuff, we vote liberal and all.
But we don’t want these migrants in our picturesque small town…Please send them somewhere else!
Then there’s this U-turn when reality hit a Democrat in the teeth.
“Just go somewhere else than New York”
In a Just World, the only place they send the illegal Border Crossing criminal (if they are gonna let them in the country at all and not be tossed back over the border) is Sanctuary cities and states that voted for Democrats.
“Counting to ten” only makes it Premeditated…
Now Doctors can’t tell Covid from the common cold or allergies.
But you can expect a resurgence come election time….Probably a “New Variant”.
Like “smoking around the Hindenburg” well.
(Because “no one deserves to be in jail because they don’t have the money to get bailed out”) Perhaps stop committing crimes? (And yes, People of Color AND lower economic status DO commit more crimes that other segments of society. Statistics show it, and like it or not it is the truth).
So criminals can get out of jail…..with no incentive for them to show up in court for their crimes…..
Why arrest anyone then?
What incentive is there to follow the law? Usta be that bail was a part of the deterrent…now that is gone.
I expect this socialist experiment will not end well for the citizens of Illinois. I feel sorry for the more “urban” folks.
Good luck, and remember, you voted for this shit.
(finally, some flying content!)
Spicy weather.
So we went to Flying Cloud (Eden Prairie) Minnesota (KFCM) on Saturday for a bit of an adventure and a bit of fun. The forecast was good for the flight out, and a slight (25%) chance of storms in the evening on the way back. The FAA weather briefer told me that he personally thought it was more likely that there would be enough heat energy to make some real fun afternoon thunderstorms and he was indeed correct.
Fired up the 340A at 7:20AM Central and took off. Got a weird IFR routing from ATC, 30 miles south then west and north. I had filed for JOT as a waypoint to skirt the edge of the Chicago class Bravo airspace then direct KFCM, , but they took me to the ZORRO intersection first, the direct JOT then direct. ….Strange routing and I cannot see the reason for it, Added about 50 miles to the flight….
Still having issues with the Cylinder Head Temps, but I am learning to manage that better until I can get the cooling issue diagnosed…But other than that the plane ran flawlessly.
Anyway, the trip up was decent, a bit of a line of unsettled weather but other than some turbulence , it was a standard IFR flight.at 16,000 feet. 2 hours 17 minutes even with the routing. It was REALLY hazy when we arrived at KFCM, so I asked for, and got, the RNAV 28L approach to make finding the airport easier. They were doing visuals, but honestly I was having issues picking out the airport through the haze at all, so I did the RNAV. Nice landing, full rollout and we taxiied to the FBO.
Parked, got an Uber and away we went.
Had a great time, But we left the venue a few (like 4) hours earlier than I had originally planned for….which made the weather be a factor that I had not anticipated when I planned the flights….We Ubered back to the FBO….filled up with fuel, checked the oil, and filed our flight plan with ATC for basically the same route back home that I had asked for going out. And got it!: Zumbro Seven departure, NODINE transition, then direct JOT and then home….
Sadly Ma Nature had different opinions about that routing… there was a line of thunderstorms that boiled up as we began our departure. We had hoped to beat them out of the area, but no dice. There were some gaps, so we chose to try……it was interesting.
We ended up flying all over the place to dodge the storms. After ODI we decided to turn south and shoot a gap by DBQ VOR ….it was either that or go north and try for a gap there (BRIBE intersection). Made the best decision I could based on the information I had on the movement of the storms….In hindsight it would have been better to go for the north route, but one makes the decision with the data one has, right? You can see the buildups in the video and some of the NexRad on Foreflight in the video: (this was 17,000 ft)
And here is some of the other imagery earlier in the flight on the Garmin 750.
(Sorry there isn’t more to see, I was kinda busy and didn’t have time to take pics or vids, but MC has some more photos on her blog)
Anyway, we went south and turned back east at DBQ. It was kinda interesting as the storm kept boiling up in front of us in what had been clear 10 minutes before. We’d see clear on the ADSB and then the onboard radar would show things forming right in front of us, then we’d actually see it boiling up in front of us. The line of storms kept herding us south, but we finally slipped the gap and turned east. Then ATC did me a solid: A reroute that kept us away from the weather!…Present position direct RFD VOR then KELSI then JOT then home….and then they gave me direct JOT just as we passed RFD….Then home.
The fun part was that about 20 miles from home, for some reason, the GPS lost all the satellites. No position, no ADSB/NexRad weather, nothing. The ATC guy was a bit confused when I asked him if my heading was ok and informed him that I had no GPS and therefore no ADSB for him…….He couldn’t believe that I was navigating the “old fashioned” way with headings and a VOR and such and that I wasn’t too worried about it (I only asked him about the vector because the winds were uncertain) but he was surprised that I was unconcerned about the loss of GPS. … Shortly thereafter we descended into the clear and I landed visually….But I am glad the GPS failure happened at the end of the flight and not while dodging the the storms. Gonna have to have that worked on as well. Not sure what happened but that is gonna get fixed real quick, or I am not gonna fly into weather. Strangely, the GPS came back just as we turned downwind at the airport.
All told, it was a fun trip. Minneapolis and back in a day, 380 miles each way (plus storm detours) in a little over 2 hours (plus the time it took to dodge storms) It is actually faster for me to fly in the 340 than to drive to a major airport, park, do the TSA shoe dance, board, fly and then get a rental car …and the cost for two people in my plane is nearly the same as commercial…. Three people puts the 340 flight a clear winner cost wise. Plus more fun and no TSA hassles.
They cannot show respect or do anything Patriotic on the US Independence Day (July 4th) but they can be expected to get out of hand showing their support for Mexican Independence Day. ‘Cause in their hearts, they are Mexican, not American.
So much so that the City of Chicago is shutting down streets to prevent the issues that happened in the last few years during their “Celebrations” downtown.
What this tells me is that these people, deep in their hearts, are still citizens of Mexico, not citizens of the US. Their loyalties lie in Mexico, as Mexicans, not citizens of the USA as Americans…. Their culture is that of Mexico, not that of the US.
But that is what we get when we have essentially unrestricted immigration….nothing to make them earn their stay here, nothing to generate their loyalties.to the country where they live, that protects and nurtures them, where they earn a living protected and sheltered under a culture not their own.
These people are not citizens of the US. Their behavior is shameful.
On the gun charge. Lying on a 4473 form.
But they are gonna drop the charges related to his acting as an unregistered foreign agent….those are the BIG charges. The ones that will lead to his daddy…and could realistically lead to jail time for both of them.
The ATF charge will be pled out to a fine and some other small punishment like community service or somesuch. Bet on it. This will fade quickly and he will do no jail time…and it will distract from all the other charges that will be quietly dropped by the DOJ.
“We have always been at war with EastAsia”
White House memo instructs all U.S. media how to report the Biden impeachment process
As if the press hasn’t been Cheering for Team Biden all along……
Instead of Thousands Standing Around….the TSA has a new moniker…..
At least two of them, however will not be arrested nor charged…no jail time even with video evidence. Of course, the TSA officialdom says “Any employee who fails to meet our fundamental ethical standards is held accountable.”. except, of course, they aren’t holding them accountable.
One might notice that the three TSA agents likely don’t have ancestors from northern Europe, if you know what I mean. (yeah, I know, racist of me to point that out….but ignoring it doesn’t change the fact….)
Remember, diversity is our strength, so they hire people like the folks in the above article…. and the standards are low so that everyone can meet them. TSA folks can be felons, don’t even need a high school diploma, etc. The lowest common denominator. And it shows.
This time, the TSA could not hide the thefts. But even now they do their best to let these people go.
What a real capable person can do….
Danelo Cavalcante is showing the police what a real, competent, motivated person is capable of….not the average half drunk country Schmoe/mope that they usually chase or the average inner city criminal….Someone competent is pretty hard for them to find and arrest.
He’s resourceful, he’s gotten outside of their search perimeter TWICE, he’s intelligent and he is capable. If he were be motivated to do more than just staying out of custody he’d be very dangerous, especially to the police who are hunting him. They outnumber him a thousand to one and he is making a mockery of them and their efforts.
If he were actively hunting them, they’d be decimated (or worse).
I hope they keep this sort of individual (and there are a LOT of us) in mind when they decide to enforce a gun ban, or martial law in the areas outside of the city…..
ETA 8:04 Central: He has, apparently, finally been captured after 14 days of evasion. He sure tied up a lot of police resources for just one guy….and he wasn’t even shooting at the cops. Imagine if he had been…..
