The US effectively ended the War in the Pacific.

All the outcries about the deaths of the Japanese? Yeah, they killed more in Tokyo with the fires that the “conventional” bombing caused.

And, frankly, I don’t care. War is about killing people and breaking things until your opponent stops making war and fighting. Period.

The Atomic Bombs were simply a more efficient way to do that.

And honestly, the Japanese deaths mattered less than the American and allied deaths that would have come had they invaded Japan. Keeping THOSE deaths to a minimum is/was a higher goal that worrying about how many Japanese might or might not have died.

The Voyager 2 Spacecraft that they accidentally told to “Get Lost”?

Yeah, they were able to get it (the com antenna) pointed back more or less towards earth.

Hopefully, measures will be put into place to double check outgoing commands in order  to keep this from happening again.

“If you come after me I’m coming after you.”

(Donnie Trump, Truth Social)

This, too, is an “incitement to, or threat of violence” according to the Left and the Media (But, again, I repeat myself)….and because of it a Restraining Order was requested.

For a post on Social Media.

One could take many meanings from it, the least likely is a threat of violence.

When is enough, enough?

WHY, ARIZ. — A few dozen migrants sat under the sun and sweltering temperatures that would reach a high of 117 degrees as they were detained Saturday in an outdoor cage

Funny, when “Migrants’ were detained by the Border Patrol during the Trump administration, the Media could not help themselves decrying the Terrible Conditions.

But when the CBP detains a surge of illegal border crossers in heat over 110 degrees (F) we hear {Crickets} from the Mainstream Media.

But then again, if the Left and the Media (But I repeat myself) didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

“avoid the area surrounding Union Square Park & use alternate routes. Expect a police presence in the area and residual traffic delays”

Thousands of people have overrun Union Square Park and surrounding lanes of traffic Friday as a popular Twitch streamer held a video game giveaway.

Bottles and bricks tossed ,police attacked, cars trashed, businesses looted, etc. Same story, Same behavior, same people, different day.

And again, it is just a “crowd”…and “People”.

But the photos tell the tale.

It ain’t whites, latinos, asians, Amish, etc. It’s Blacks.

And they are doing more to harm the publics view of black people in general than anything the White Supremacists types could do.

Act like animals.

(and I must be old, but WhoInTheFuck is “Kai Cenat”?

Is “Black”:.

Yeah, the action on Sunday was all Black “Teens” …a couple of hundred “Children” mobbed a 7-11 in a spontaneous action. Trashing the store and stealing much of the contents. 40 people were arrested on Misdemeanor charges. Likely out in hours.

But no one will point out that there is not one white, nor Jewish, nor Hispanic, nor Amish nor Asian face in the crowd.

They do their best to hide the truth….but they can’t. Organized mobs of black “Kids” are gathering and mobbing retail establishments. Until they start telling the truth about who (and what) these mobs are, they’ll never address the issues. Nor, it appears, are they attempting to find out who is organizing these actions.

And Black people wonder why no one wants to do business in their neighborhood or why groups of black kids are seen as criminals who just haven’t yet done something bad today.

If I handed you a jar of 1000 pieces of delicious candy and told you that I had rubbed 3 of them on my ass, how many would you eat? 

Watching the News anchors do their best to argue the government case against Trump.

They are doing their best to tell everyone how guilty Donnie is, the best they can to try him in the Media.

Funny, back when he was Vice President, Pence was a terrible person, was a “Christian Maniac”…..Now, of course, he is a sane, trustworthy person…(as long as his testimony damages Trump_..).

I b=think this shows us that the case against Trump is weak, and the Media folks are aware of that…and think their commentary will make a difference. They are, however, salivating at the thought of Trump’s conviction.

They are SO afraid of him. They fear him running, as they KNOW he will win beyond the Margin of Cheat.

But, of course, you know, and I know,  that our great Leader,  Joseph Biden, won fair and square, despite not campaigning and that he got the Most Votes Ever…and there is No Doubt About the Election Results. (unlike FULLY a Third of the people in this county who believe that there was Election Fraud)

FAFO

Stealing smokes from a 7-11

Owner objects.

Dude keeps on

Owner beats him until police arrive.

Fired the engines on the 340 today….there are a few issues and adjustments to make. but things went well. 3 EGT probes were not reading, (and one read backwards, so a wiring error for sure) and the left alternator isn’t putting out, so not sure what that is all about.  Plus the fuel pressures were not right….

More as soon as the mechanics fix the issues. Then a couple of full power runs, and some high speed taxi and then we shall aviate.

Soon, I hope.

No fire, no smoke, nothing but a good first start.

The GOP/Republican folks are showing all sorts of support for Trump after the indictment this time.

If they’d have given him half the support while he was in office he could have accomplished so much more….and he might be president today..

But, instead, they left him hanging in the breeze, and we got a senile idiot as a President and all sorts of Fundamental Change happening to our country….and an invasion of folks over the Southern border….and a mountain of debt that is going to destroy our economy. Plus lots of other bad things too numerous to mention in detail.

Assholes.
