So, the charges seem pretty thin.

I’m pretty sure that the charges (the new ones, anyway) are pretty thin. and seem to lack any real substance.

We will see.

But this sure looks like a thinly veiled attempt to keep Trump from running.

I await all the details before making a definitive statement on that, however.

On the one hand, I really don’t want Trump for the RNC candidate. On the other hand, I am appalled by this continued persecution. If they can do it to him they can do it to anyone.

If we had a just and decent “Justice System” then Biden and Hunter would have been investigated shortly after the Laptop surface, if not before. But we don’t.

 

 

ETA: ‘Twas pointed out to me that the indictment dropped only a few hours after it was revealed that there was testimony that Joe Biden was present (by phone) at most of Hunters business dealing phone calls…..(“Nothin’ to see here, Move along“)

FAFO

Texas style.

Dude tracks down his stolen truck, holds thieves at gunpoint for the cops.

Thief pulls his own gat. Get ventilated for his efforts.

Police say “Good Job”

Dead thieves brother says “‘A vehicle is not worth taking someone’s life” Well, apparently the thief thought it was. He pulled a gun to try and get away, and that worked out poorly for him.

And, to my mind, stealing someone’s property is akin to stealing a bit of their life….the time and effort they spent working for that money to buy that item….truck, house, jewelry, etc.  is their life……they could have been doing something else rather than work. Work is using up your life for compensation.

If more thieves got this sort of treatment, and the owners did not have worry about prosecutions for it, there’d be a lot less theft.

Sorry (not really) your brother was killed dude, but he got what he deserved.

 

 

Good news on the plane front:

After nearly three weeks of fucking around by Ram I finally got the 3 parts that Ram Engines owed me so we could finish the new engine install.

I had to threaten to stand in front of their booth at the Oshkosh Fly-in and tell everyone I could about my experience (and their organization’s incompetence) but they finally got off the dime and sent the parts. So I don’t have to do that. here is no excuse for their failure….But finally, I have the parts.

Should make noise with the engines either today or Monday, and then we have to do the adjustments to make ’em run well.

God willing I should be flying in a week.

Obfuscating with data

This study shows the mass shooting deaths by state…..By state. Not by city where the data would be more useful, and where we all know what the story would be….large Urban areas rather than small towns….

It also hints but does not say what the demographics are….the race/ethnicity/poverty level of the shooters OR the victims…..But it does point out that there were no mass shootings in either Hawaii or Alaska….You can draw your own conclusions.

 

It is interesting that, although they try to correlate gun laws to shootings, there seems to be an inverse effect….the tighter the gun restrictions the (marginally) more shootings…but not enough to make any real conclusions. What they DON’T do in this study is look at any of the other factors. Race (and percentage of that race in the surrounding area), economic level, education level or ethnicity. These are all greater factors than gun laws.

Kinda  hiding the truth, really.

It isn’t like there aren’t mass shooting at least weekly on the south side of Chicago, in primarily black and poor neighborhoods, usually related to a bar or a party or other gathering…..or the most dangerous place at 2:30 Am, “jus’ stannin onna cornah, minin’ my own bidnes’…” And there are nearly zero in a tiny downstate town like DeLand or Ogden or Taylorville. But lump all the towns in a state together to hide the real truth.

 

Looks like Hunter

Has done screwed the pooch. His Sweetheart Deal wasn’t as sweet as he thought, or at least the judge took some of the icing off….

Having said that, I wonder what else is in the works.

Is this a real situation or one contrived by the Biden folks?

One never knows.

They are never gonna let it go, are they?

Biden names new Emmett Till monument as US grapples with racist history.

Look, It was a long time ago. at what point does the blame stop? I wasn’t there. My Dad didn’t do it, HIS Dad didn’t do it. Stop blaming us for it. In fact, start applying the same metric to Black crimes.

At what point will they quit flogging a kid’s murder from 68 years ago? It seems every place they can find is to become a sacred site…His hometown, the church where his parents attended, the courthouse where his accused were sentenced, etc.

The kid wasn’t a hero, he was a victim. His life wasn’t anything special, he wasn’t touched by God, he didn’t accomplish anything. Yet his name has become a sacred word in the Leftist led Black movement.

Enough.

Overheard at a soda shop::

And it was two housewives with children in strollers talking.

 

“I expect at any moment they will indict Trump for leaving his cocaine in the White House”

 

I may or may not have spit some of my ice cream soda on the floor when I heard that.
