They must really think you are stupid….

That anyone with two neuons to rub together would see this as anything more than a partisan excuse to punish Donald Trump.

“National Security”…really? That is one of your reasons? C’mon now, even all but your most rabid followers won’t buy that one. 

That he fomented Treason? Really? I’ve read the transcript and listened to his words while watching the Youtube of his speech and nowhere did he suggest or encourage the actions that later followed at the Capitol. There is no statement made, nor series of statments, that in any way could be construed as suggesting, ordering, or otherwise ordering the attacks. No amount of twisting, “interperteting” or anything but delusion can come up with anything else….and if you folks are that delusional, then you should not be holding the reigns of power that you currently do…you should be impeached for incompetency yourselves. I suppose those folks that never bother to investigate what the truth is, and instead just believe what they are told will beleive what you say, but lots of folks, on both sides are more intelligent than that. 

You can’t just point at someone and cry “unclean!” and have it be true. The fact that you got enough party members to follow your lead in this is frightening….that you have that mush sway over them. 

Do you really expect anyone to believe that you have valid reasons? I suppose some of your mor rabid supporters will repeat (and believe) the memes you have spouted..,But you are beyond believable at this point…Those of your supporters with the ability to think have to be wondering about your ability to lead with logic rather than hate….

One could ask if THEY did it…

 I mean, the folks who reported it, rather than some other third party.

It wouldn’t be the first time a Liberal has done something so they could then point to it and cry and emote and pontificate about it. Especially suspicious in this time of Group Hate by Liberals. 

Manatee found with “Trump” “carved” into it’s back. 

Now, lets look at some facts:

The word wasn’t “Carved” into the back of the mantee, but rather the alge was smeared. The animal, as pictured, is speeing and not in distress. It obviously held still for the action, so it wasn’t hurt during the process. 

Ever see a Manatee up close? They are very gentle creatures that don’t mind humans. I’ve swum alongside them, and they are VERY large. There is no way a group of divers could hold one still long enough to take such an action if the animal objected…so it obviously didn’t. 

And we have the big question….Who did it? (Hint, probably not the other manatees, for starters). Was it in fact, a Trump supporter? Or was it the folks who “found” said manatee and took pictures? It is suspicious that they found the one manatee in Florida who was a Trump supporter just at the right time where they had an underwater camera handy, innit? More likely that this was a set up. and a lie….But that is where a lot of Liberal outrage comes from, ain’t it? 

Having said that, I do have a suggestion: Don’t touch the Manatees at all no matter who you are. It is illegal and probably not good for them. 

Where are the marchers?

 

 And, of course, the riots,
the looting, the arson, and all the other usual forms of “mourning” and “protest” when an
unarmed person is shot by police…..

I mean, she was unarmed. and
while she may have been breaking the law by being in the Capitol uninvited
(maybe trespassing) and might have been trying to get past a locked door, what
of it? Most of the folks that were killed by cops that resulted in rioting in
2019 were not choirboys either….

Oh, it is only minorities that
get riots when they are killed while unarmed by police……Wait, she was
female, so that is a minority and a group with special privileges, just like
Black people, right? Or is it only SOME unarmed minorities that earn riots,
burning and looting in remembrance when they are killed by police while unarmed
in a minor crime…..

Or is it that she was not a privileged
person because she was not of the correct political party? Or perhaps because
she was white…..

I dunno. But it is odd, isn’t
it? A person was killed, shot by a police officer, while unarmed, and yet the
Left isn’t calling for riots, burning, looting, or other “Mostly
Peaceful” protests… They aren’t organizing marches, nor are they
delivering pallets of bricks to the street corners in preparation for those
marches….There is no incitement of violence on Facebook or Twitter either…

I wonder why?

I am talking, of course, about
Ashli Babbitt….the woman shot while in the Capitol… on January 6th. 

We are told, time and time
again, that people who are unarmed are not a threat, so there is never a reason
for the police to restrain them. or use deadly force….at least when they are
of African descent….Which she wasn’t. 

The fact that there have been
no protests by the Left over her death is a demonstration of the hypocrisy of
the Left. Only some people are innocent enough to garner
protest or demonstrations, and only in the years leading up to an election,
apparently. One must be of the right melanin content, and must be of the
correct political party or you aren’t worth the time or effort to organize
riot demonstration. 

Or perhaps they simply can’t use her as a tool to further their agenda. 

Childish actions

 The people attempting to impeach Donald Trump (again) is fits of pique simply to tarnish him on his way out, whatever their excuse, are pathetic. Their excuse is weak, and their motivation clear.  

But now we have yet another demonstration of these folks unsuitability to lead:

Chicago alderman wants Trump sign down, demands sign permit not be renewed 

The paroxysm of hate as these childish people attemt to smear Trump on his way out is, in my opinion, a demostration of their unsuitability to govern. They don’t expect to actually IMPEACH him, just to smear his name in a symbolic way. The fact that people are piling on to make up for slights is saddening. This is like a bunch of 4 year old girls picking on one of their number in a classroom. Childish and classless action show character. Especily when they are vindictive as well,

It is said that one measure of a man is the enemies he makes….The quality of Donald Trump’s enemies speaks highly of him.  

Night currency

Since I hadn’t flown the 182 in 3 weeks (Between Multi engine training and weather, I just hadn’t had the time) and since I DID have the time this evening, and the weather was 250 at 10 with a ceiling of 12,000, I decided to go up and at least warm the engine up and dry it out….

3 “daytime” landings and 3 “night” landings…all in 0.9 hours of pattern work. 

I missed my 182, but I also miss the climb rate of the Baron I got my ME license in. THe 182 was no slouch tonight in the climb deaprtement (cool, dry air) but it still wasn’t what the BE-55 will do. 

Still, it was fun, and I got myself recalibrated for the 182’s landing speeds. 

Interesting:

 Second City Cop blog is now “Invite only”.

I wonder what happened? Did someone with the City of Chicago finally breach their security? 

“Inciting a riot”

 I would like to know, exactly, what words the President (Donald J. Trump) supposedly used to “Incite a Riot or Rebellion”. 

Did he say “Go to the Capitol and break in and hang the tratorious bitch, Nancy Pelosi“? Somehow I missed that part.

Did he say “Sack the offices and scare the hell out of those folks who won’t bother to investigate obvious Fraud in our voting process“? Apparently I missed that part too. 

Did he in ANY WAY state that the Capitol should be sacked? 

People purporting to support him did occupy the Capitol…..But I haven’t seen where he told ’em to do so. 

Go ahead, read his speech, feel free to quote the parts where he said that in the comments….be specific. No assumed “coded” words, no interpretation….just the words he used that can convict him of the crime he is accused of. 

(And let’s face it, except when the Congress is in Sesssion, it is just an office building)…..so IF he is guilty, somehow, then when the Hart building was occupied during the Kavanaugh hearings those seators and congressmen who approved of that, who ENCOURAGED that action are also guilty of insurrection and inciting a riot…But there are no charges for those folks, are there?) 

The folks in Congress following Nancy Pelosi know that it won’t make it past the Senate, so this is a symbolic gesture…a “Fuck You” to Trump and his supporters.  The people supporting these charges should be ashamed, that they are using our money, our system, to once again trash the exiting (but legally elected) outgoing president. 

At the end of this, it shows the Character of these legislators. Shows us their True Colors, as it were.  

A thought from history:

 “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything,”

Attributed to Joseph Stalin.

And that’s the rub, isn’t it? Do you trust those who count the votes?

I once did. I was saddened and upset that Barry Soetoro won the Presidency back in 2008….and again in 2012. Both times, however,  I believed that he had legitimately won against the Republican challengers. (Both times they were very weak opponents, but no matter). I believed that the American People had spoken and made their choices. Both times were legitimate victories. At the end of it, while he was not “MY” President, he was, legitimately, “OUR” President. 

Sadly, I cannot say that Joe Biden is “OUR” president. I don’t trust the people who count the votes any longer, nor do I believe the ballots that arrived by mail (and perhaps by other means) were all legitimate. There were too many Red Flags and anomalies and inconsitencies to believe that all the election results are true accounts of the will of the people. And when we objected, there was no realistic attempt to investigate or clarify those oddities…we were just told to accept it. 

People no longer beieve that their vote counts. Even thinking folks on the side that “won” have to be afraid that next time, their vote will not matter either. Yes, there are enough that will accept that winning this round justifies the means that that victory was assured, but thinking people realize what has happened…and what it means for the future. 

What do we do now? 

Liberal double standards (Yet again)

 So lesse here…

Parler is suspended from Gogle and Apple app stores….

And by Amazon.

Supposedly for allowing posts that “incite violence”. 

Yet for most of last summer, FaceBook, Twitter and other Social Media sites allowed posts that incited violence for the Burn Loot Murder Black Lives Matter protests…about 40 people, including police officers, died. 

Yet they kept allowing those posts. Over and over again. Fom the same people and groups.  

This is a thnly veiled excuse to silence Parlor. THey won’t use the same standards on Twitter nor Facebook. Were that the case, both of those would be off the App Stores on both Google and Apple. 

But they aren’t. 

Some Pigs are more equal than others. We see this over and over and over.

I expect that Google, which owns Blogger, will follow their past actions in censoring folks on YouTube and start censoring blogs too. 

Don’t be suprised if I go dark soon. 

60 minutes

 Lesli Stahl referred to the folks at the Capitol as “Maurading Domestic Terrorists”.

Yep, the left would shit themselves if all the Conservative folks decided to go “Marauding”.     They really have no idea, do they?
