And while the double standard is terrible, the worse part is that the books would have been an asset to the library, but were rejected for political reasons….and just plain spite.
9 young outstanding citizens beat 12 year old boy and his parents at amusement park.
Wanna guess the melanin content of the parties involved?
A gang of animals, really. Don’t know civilized behavior. Likely raised by Grandma. Prolly no Dad at all.
Yeah, again, I know, I’m a racist for pointing this out. Stopped caring what y’all call me a while back.
This sort of shit doesn’t happen in county fairs in rural Kansas or Indiana or Oklahoma or other Red cities though. Only at or near bigger cities.
And yet, Facebook itself has done much to influence elections….Unfairly, in my opinion. And we haven’t seen any disclosure as to who else bought ads for or against candidates in any of the races in 2016…
Does George Soros get to do ads for or against a candidate? If so, why are his ads different than the “Russian” ads? How about the socialist Michael Bloomberg? How abut all the ‘Pacs(s) that have poorly defined (if at all) funding sources?
Yes, free speech applies. They are American Citizens. I got that. But still, why are they OK and some vaguely “Russian” ads not?
I think this is a Good Thing.
No more platitudes about “Border Security”. No more lies about “Committed to our nations security” or “Stop illegal immigration”. No more wasted money on high-Tech solutions that don’t really stop anyone.
I have, for years, said we either needed to get serious about our border or need to stop wasting money on border control and our Border Patrol
Look like Donnie is finally getting serious.
‘Bout time.
By all reports, he had a good, fun life.
What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be. I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs. Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development.
These are the words of the Mayor of New York City.
If he gets his way, the city will be broke again in 5 years, and people will be fleeing.
In 10 years, it will be like Caracas.
The day started at 0700 well below minimums, but the forecast was for better weather at 10.
They were right.
Clear to 7000 but with a wind at 330 at 7 knots. Cool.
Did the preflight, found water, drained a bit more, found just a trace of water, called the hangar guy, he drained a LOT more, we let it settle, no water. OK!.
Takeoff was pretty good, we flew south and did some turns. The wind made it a bit harder to do ’em smoothly, but I managed. S-turns with the wind weren’t too bad, but then the gusts started. 7 knots gusting to 27. I still made a decent s-turn both starting to the left and to the right, although my altitude control could have been better. I now see why this is a skill I need to master.
Turns around a point were ok, but could have been better. I kept my distances fairly well, but the gust made that a LOT harder than it should have been. Again, my altitude control sucked. I was up and down around the circle, gaining and losing about 200 feet. We also did some practice approaches flying with a road as a simulated runway from 3000′ to about 1500 feet. Again, the wind made me work to keep my course. This was the first time I felt like I was fighting to maintain my course.
Then we did some pattern work, The gusts were more frequent. and my approach was ok, but my course control as I flew over the runway at 100′ was…lacking. Again, I was fighting the gusts. Mike decided to do the landing and demonstrated a crosswind landing on runway 36, with the wind at 320. I understand the concept but need some practice to maintain my heading like that.
My taxiing continues to improve. One thing I did was to hold onto the dash with my left hand so I didn’t start to try to steer with my hand instead of my feet…until I needed aileron to fight the wind.
I’m also figuring out when to use the nosewheel and when to use the brakes to steer, and when to blend them.
1.5 hours.
Days ago: We get a (black) Sudanese immigrant who posted several posts Pro Jihad and then goes and shoots several people in a (mostly) white church and the press does all it can to bury the incident at all, and COMPLETELY ignores the pro Jihadi pats of his Social Media…and does their best to downplay the fact that he is an immigrant.
Odd that, Innit?
Seems that enough fans have requested refunds from DirecTV Sunday Ticket that the company has made it a policy to refund the money of subscribers who wish to cancel their subscription over the NFL anthem idiocy.
Good.
Hit the NFL folks where they will feel it most:
In the bank account. They’ll notice than. Betcha they change their tune when their revenues drop by 30%.
