“No one is “Too Busy”…it is simply a matter of priorities”

“If you cannot change things, don’t worry about them”

“Every moment you spend living in the past is a wasted moment in the present”

“Not everyone deserves your kindness”

“Many of us have a temple of peace in our hearts, but leave the doors open for storms to enter”

“Walk away from the table if you are being served disrespect”

“Before you invest a great deal of time in someone, ask yourself: Are they investing in you?”

“Forgive others and go forward, or never see them again, nothing in between”

That was trashed during the BLM protestgasm

Bad enough that the first one was pulled down, worse was that the police allowed it to continue to happen.

Even worse was that no one was arrested for vandalism.

But at least one is being put back in it’s place.

I mean, getting to the bottom of the “Russian Collusion” story would be nice and all, but at the end of it, I think that I can speak for most Americans that we’d rather see the Epstein files you are hiding, Pamela.

You can try to distract us with other prosecutions and stories, but at the end of it, we’d really like to see those files that you suddenly claim don’t exist, even though they were used in evidence in Ms Maxwell’s trial, and that several members of Congress blocked the release of a few years ago……..You know, the ones that Patel said needed to be reviewed so that “no innocent victim’s names would be inadvertently released” to the public…..the ones that you said were “On My Desk”. Yeah, those files.

Yes, we’d like to have the folks that were involved with the Russian Collusion Hoax brought to justice as well, but we’d REALLY prefer to see the list of those people who partied with those young women on Epstein’s island….

The fact is that it has nothing to do with the Israelis, but rather that their own people steal most of it before it gets to them. 

If people are really starving (and other data would suggest that there are few people actually  starving in Gaza) if is because their own people are taking the free food that other countries are supplying to them.

And that data is from the UN, so you know that it must be true, because the UN can’t ever help but try and find an anti-Semitic way to make Israel look bad.

The Syrians that live in Gaza are simply turds of the lowest order, each and every one of them. Is it any wonder that no country, not Syria, not Egypt, not Jordan, not even Saudi Arabia want’s to let them come into their country.

16,000 ft at 210 knots. Not too fast, but fast enough

It was bad even at 15,000 feet:

Haze and smoke made everything indistinct. Like IMC only sorta not….The camera makes it look better than it was to the naked eye. For most of the trip I had only intermittent contact with the ground.

On the climb out

about 14,000 feet

One wonder where the EPA is on this? Gotta be a violation or something….

Sad, and angering, but funny, nonetheless….

Stolen form Ms. Misfit

Radioactive wasps go missing from nuclear site in South Carolina…..

The question I have is where is the exposed contamination such that the wasps can get contaminated material to build a nest?

From either Uber or Lyft, whereas I CAN request a female driver (and we all know about women drivers, amirite?)

Is that not discrimination? Both for the Male drivers as well as for myself?

Asking for a friend and all that…..

In the NTSB hearing on the collision of Blackhawk “Priority Air Transport 25” and American Airlines flight 5342, the NTSB is focusing on the altimeters…..failing to set the real blame: that the pilot of the Blackhawk was way too high (Odd, innit, that all the altimeters were in error in the same direction, even the radar altimeter), not bothering to face the real facts….. that she was a DEI promoted person being pushed for promotion, that she was unused to flying with the Night Vision Goggles, that she was a marginal pilot whose failures in training were being glossed over so she could be rapidly promoted, and that her performance was lacking even before this incident that killed 67 people. It is obvious that she failed to maintain visual separation and she killed these people on the airliner, and her entire helicopter crew as well as herself….

No one wants to admit that DEI killed these people…that when your selection is for gender, or race, or sexual preference or identity (and she fit at least two of those “special”  characteristics)  or other characteristics besides flying skills, you will get results other than flying excellence, and end up with pilots who are substandard and a danger to themselves and the people around them.

There were other factors, and the flights though the Airport arrival and departure corridors were an accident waiting to happen (if the pilots of the helicopters were below standards) and the NTSB is likely going to fixate on the altimeters to hide her many failures (But her crew chief told her to “Come Down please ma;am” several times before the collision so they knew she was too high) …but at the end of it, the decision to push this pilot beyond her capabilities caused the deaths of 67 people…and that responsibility lies directly on the people in the military who pushed for inclusion instead of excellence.

Unless, and Until, we choose to select for excellence of skills rather than other characteristics, we are going to see similar incidents.
