He tells the reporter like it is.

NEW: CNN reporter suggests to a Trump supporter that he shouldn’t be concerned about the cost of living under the Biden/Harris adm. because he owns a boat

CNN: “if you can afford a boat, you’re not hurting so bad, right? Because a boat costs a lot of money and it’s a lot of upkeep.”

Trump Supporter: “Listen, nobody gave me shit!”

“I earned everything that I’ve got. I’m retired military, retired power plant, and I am successful and retired with boats, jet skis because I get it right, and everybody has that chance. Whether they choose or not, that’s up to them.”

“…because I want my money to go further. I want inflation to go down, I want interest rates to go back down, I want all that, but that covers everybody in the economy. Not just me, not just the poor, not just the rich, it covers everybody.”

Playing catch-up

Was gone all day Wed….Home-Tulsa, a test flight. then Smyrna, then home.

almost 8 hours of flying. (Just did the logbook, 9,8 hours,  5 day landings, 1 night landing, 1.7 IMC. hours..no wonder I was tired when I got home).

Looks like  I’m gonna have a new plane in a month or so.

But now I gotta do the whole “be an adult and do adult shit” and get caught up.

 

Maybe more later. I simply didn’t have the time to do blog stuff yesterday.

Nice work

If it is the Israelis..(which is most likely, after all, this is the sort of thing the Mossad is good at) then getting these pagers to the Hezbollah people is a masterstroke….

Of course, this marks each and every Hezbollah member, Nice. All across the region.

Even if they didn’t kill everyone, they maimed them, fingers, hands. hip or leg damage wherever the person carried their pager….marked. Easily identified from now on as a part of the Hezbollah movement.

And even more importantly, they used the pagers because they knew that the Mossad could get explosive laded phone into their hands, and easily detonate  those, so the emphasis had been on pagers..

Now they can’t truth the pagers either.

Terror works both ways.

I love it.

I especially like that Iran’s ambassador to lebanon got hurt in this attack. One might wonder what a diplomat was doing with a hezbollah pager….Except that it isn’t really a surprise

 

 

ETA:

Nearly a week

and yet the media (and some of my commenters) are still denying and trying to discredit the stories about the haitians eating pets.

A week ago the story became mainstream. And for an entire week, they’ve been doing their best to deny and discredit the whole thing.

That , honestly, tells us that it is true, and not a small problem, or they’d have forgotten it and let it die by now.

 

 

Oddities

While it may just be bad reporting…

‘Tis strange that a “Protective Agent” somehow “spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of the brush 300 to 500 yards away” That’s pretty good eyesight, innit?

Plus, of course, it was apparently an AK variant, which makes 300 yards a tricky shot.

Plus a GoPro camera…..Which doesn’t really have the lens for 200+ yards.

One wonders if the shooter is really that inept in his choice of weapon and other equipment.

Either the coverage is really that bad, or this is somehow a put up job. I am unsure which.

 

ETA: And lots of folks are asking how the dude knew that Trump wans gonna be there at the time he was…How did he know the schedule?

Also: Where did he get the rifle? He lived in Hawaii. Apparently it had the serial number somehow obscured.

It occurs to me that this “assassination attempt” was pretty amateurish…..one wonders if there was supposed to be a real shooter somewhere, and this guy was just the patsy like Crooks?

*******************

And it is bad reporting. Now it is an SKS rather than a AK. (For those that don’t know, the difference is HUGE)

Y’know

While I cannot stand Taylor Swift’s music, (although I do respect her success in marketing herself and making huge piles of cash from her “Swiftie” followers)…,  And while I do not like her choice of politicians, (although her other message was “Get out and register to vote”) there is one thing that I cannot help but notice:

Once she decided T. Kelsie was her man, she has done her best to make every game, to cheer him on, and to support him. She is acting like a girlfriend (and/or future wife) should act.

 

It is, I think, a lesson that is sadly lost on most of her followers though.

Perhaps a chauvinistic viewpoint, but true, nonetheless.

Of course that’s what really happened:

 

Wildlife officials in Ohio have revealed that a viral picture of a man walking down the street while holding two geese was actually taken after the birds were hit by a car.

‘Cause we all know that geese are in pairs when struck by cars, right?

“there is no evidence to suggest the man is either an immigrant, Haitian or had plans to eat the birds.”  Nope (No evidence it isn’t a Haitian immigrant, either) ,it’s a photo of a black man carrying two recently dead geese. Odd coincidence, that’s it, nothing to see here….

He doesn’t look like a wildlife officer to me, nor an employee of a municipality,….and I would doubt that an American black man in Central Ohio wears a man-bag. Just a good citizen cleaning up the city, I guess. l thought he was lucky though….those birds look like they were just killed a few minutes ago…they are pretty fresh.

If you believe that I got some great deals on bridges for you.

There’s a reason Haiti is a shithole.

Innit interesting

How the Media is trying to change the narrative in the whole Springfield Ohio  Hattians eating pets thing..:

Now it is all about the “hatred” as they claim that there have been several Bomb Threats (how card is it for someone to make a phone call) and other “hatred” stories?

They are doing their best to turn the narrative away from the fact that there are 15,000  Hattians that have been settled in a community of less than 60,000….The Biden admin doing their best to “Fundamentally Change” the character of the area, and that the stories about the Hattians eating wildlife and pets appear to be more credible as time goes on.

The denials are getting louder and louder, but all they are doing is helping to make sure that everyone hears the story.
