Finally!

Private Pilot.

Man, that whole escapade was a BITCH. Oral exam, then the Checkride. 9AM-3PM… no break for lunch ’cause we were racing thunderstorms coming from the west. Hot and humid, just to make things interesting with comfort and thermals to add to the fun.

But I did it.

Got my Temp certificate, and I am Official.

Now a Complex endorsement and a High Performance, and I think I will buy a 182….and spend more time learning and earning IFR.

Remember….

Why we celebrate the Fourth Of July……For those that don’t know, it is a Holiday called Independence Day….The day the 13 Colonies declared that they were a nation in their own right, no longer under the rule of the King of England. Self Rule…..

They chose their destiny, not some overbred Monarch who wasn’t even sure where the lands were and who knew nothing about the people living there.

This was the day that began the greatest nation on the planet. The Constitution, which enabled it to be so, came later, but this was the day those many years ago when that nation began. A nation which became the destination for freedom-loving peoples from all over the world….The day the United States of America….That great Republic, began.

Take a minute to raise a glass to those men who signed that document, who signed the document and, in doing so, ““mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor,” ….some  of those men did lose some or all of those.

Now go enjoy your beer, hotdogs, and fireworks.

But remember. And be glad you live here. 

Isn’t it interesting

How the Democrats are all for Activist Judges when that activist Judge is a Liberal, and blatantly “Legislates from the Bench”  FOR liberal causes….

But they absolutely oppose any Supreme Court Justice nominee who might have an opinion on anything they oppose. Who might apply, you know, the LAW, as written, or the meaning of the Constitution to cases brought before the Court.

Odd disparity, doncha think?

Or is it that the Dems just care about their causes over the rule of law? 

Grandkids and such…

So apparently, there was indeed more than just grandkids discussed in the meeting between Loretta Lynch and Former President Bill Clinton…..

You know, that “accidental” meeting in Phoenix, where they just accidentally ran into each other and had an “Impromptu” meeting (in a plane that had already been cooled and was ready for occupancy…..)
 Where they claimed they discussed only their Grandkids and such….and it was only coincidence that 2 day later the Justice Department (headed by Lynch) decided to NOT charge Hillary Clinton with mishandling of Classified Information.

Odd how those coincidences happen, innit? We know that’s what happened ’cause that’s what they told us….

OR:

Page 203 of IG Report says Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton tarmac meeting was planned via Secret Service, FBI.

Who you gonna believe?

Well

After the election in Mexico, I think we need to begin building the Border Wall on an expedited basis.

Leftist, leftist aaaand a Leftist.

Of course, if we can find the water, a moat would work as well….

But at this point, we now have every reason to increase Border Security. 

Kwestion:

Y’know….there area LOT of folks that were Anti-Gun that, once taken to a range and taught to shoot, have converted from an Anti-Gun stance to, if not Pro-Gun, at least accepting that GUNS are not the terrible things they thought they were.

Has anyone, ever, found a Pro-Gun person (or someone who was ambivalent on the subject) who, once exposed to firearms, and having the opportunity for a range session, has converted to Anti-Gun?

I’ve taught over a thousand folks in formal NRA classes, and thousands more in informal range sessions, and I’ve never encountered the latter scenario.

I’ve done my part as an ambassador, have you?
