apparently, it worked

Sharing the Pain of the migrant mess by moving the migrants to the Blue Cities apparently has convinced the Liberal Power brokers to influence Joe Biden (or his handlers, anyway) to reduce the flow of migrants.

Apparently they are now deporting Venezuelans who enter the country without permission.

Thing is, they aren’t just tossing them back across the border back to Mexico, they are being delivered back to Venezuela….at our expense.

The GPS in the 340 is fixed. Took it to Rockford and had an expert look at it.

As I suspected, it was the antenna. Likely the amplifier at the antenna had failed. They replaced it after checking the GNS 750 unit out in a test fixture. Either way, the 750 GPS works and I now have not only easier navigation, but also ADSB in and out, which gives me airport data, weather radar, and nearby traffic.

Plus, while I was there, I had the plane undergo it’s 2 year IFR certification since it was due.

More flying soon.

But Border Walls don’t Work!!!!

Lying Liars and the lies they tell.

Every single person in government who opposed the border wall by Trump should be beaten, tarred and feathered, and licked kicked out of government service. Every single one.

“The Biden administration will waive 26 federal laws to allow several miles of new border wall construction in South Texas, leading former President Donald Trump to argue that his signature policy was correct all along.

The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the US Federal Registry on Wednesday, allowing the construction in Starr County, Texas, part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing ‘high illegal entry.’

There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,’ DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated in the notice.”

Funny how that wall they lied about and delayed for YEARS is now a good idea, innit??

It is interesting to see

How once the “Sanctuary Cities (and states, in some cases) get a feel for the cost, damages, and just plain disturbances that these unregulated, illegal alien invasion cause…the fact that few have any skills, ability to find a job, are often single males rather than families…..the disruption they bring to a community when large numbers are dumped into that community with no plan to help them assimilate (if they wish to) is significant.

 

And now these “sanctuary cities” are finding that they really don’t want that disruption, that cost, nor the other issues.

Illinois 

New York (state)    (plus this too)

(Notice the call to limit the border crossers…which requires securing and closing the border first….which Biden won’t do…..and, of course, shutting down the migrant corridor paid for by (among other entities) Soros and the US state department, that supports and facilitates the travel of these thousands of illegal border crossers from south and central America)

And the citizens of Chicago, especially the poor and middle class folks , both black and hispanic, are questioning why these migrants are getting a whole bunch of money spent on them when they and their communities have been denied funding for many projects for years….why parks and other facilities meant for their use are being taken away from them and given to the illegal invaders. How the community is being displaced for the illegals. Senior centers, veterans centers, etc, all sacrificed to the illegals.

Lots of anger. Progressives are gonna take a major hit in these places as their policies come home to roost.

It is funny how open borders were a great idea when they only affected Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico (and, of course California, but they really never have counted)…but now that they are affecting the more northern and progressive blue cities and states it becomes an issue….

I am surprised

Perhaps there is just a bit of lead in the Republican’s pencils after all (apologies to our lady Republicans)

Kevin McCarthy voted OUT as Speaker: Republican becomes first House leader in American history to have his gavel taken away following stunning rebellion from critics led by Matt Gaetz

IF there was a more ineffective and wishy-washy GOP leader I cannot think of who he was. I cannot see how this in any way negatively affects the Republicans, or the country as a whole. Being a tool of the “Establishment” is not a good thing when you are supposed to be Speaker.

And demonstrating for anyone paying attention that you can be bought and influenced by power groups is not good for your career.

Good riddance to bad rubbish and all that.

Fuck this climate shit, it’s too expensive

Sweden Poised to Miss the Long-Term Climate Target It Pioneered

While the “Progressive” folks want to keep the climate goals, those with brains are putting the Swedish citizens welfare first:

“The policy shift comes as governments across Europe are facing a difficult balance between maintaining ambitious goals for reducing emissions while supporting households that are squeezed by rising costs.”

 

The FAFO chronicles part whatever

Moment YouTube prankster Tanner Cook’s stunt goes badly wrong when shopper he is targeting pulls out a gun and shoots him in the chest

Dude kept hassling the guy, even after multiple attempts at de-escalation and deflection….

ETAL Video can be seen here. (sometimes it shows on the Daily Mail link and sometimes not)

At what point is it ok to defend yourself?  I mean,  Tanner Cook is like 6’5″ and he kept getting in Mr. Cole’s face…I’d certainly think at some point that he was a threat….. at some point you gotta think the person up in your face is mental and threat to your safety since he won’t back off and keeps saying weird and irrelevant shit….. (I don’t think I’d have let him get that close, especially not the second time) … The law states “Imminent Danger of Bodily Harm” . Having a 6’5 guy get into your face in a threatening manner for no apparent reason, multiple times, would qualify for that in my opinion.

So far, it looks like Mr. Cole is gonna get a slap on the wrist, if anything. He should sue Cook for all of his legal and other costs as well as hefty punitive damages for causing this as part of a You Tube stunt to make money.

 

The single decent thing about the “Stopgap Spending Bill”

ETA 13:32 CST  (AAANNDD they lied about Ukraine)….How much of our money comes back as bribes such that these men and women are willing to sell out the American citizens? 

(original post BELOW)

Not one single red cent for Ukraine. (of course, there is no money for Border Security either, so there’s that)

There should be no money for Ukraine in the next (full) budget either, but I think that is too much to ask,

200+ million dollars per day since 2022…..Think about that.  You can buy a LOT of politicians with even a fraction of that kind of money.

IF only we could get a portion of the money they want to give to Zelenskyy spend on Ukraine for our veterans and to secure our southern border…..
