Big kids balloons….

Seems that the Chinks have floated a “High Altitude Surveillance Balloon” across the United States. 

Not sure why the Air Farce didn’t shoot it down when they had the chance, but now they are letting it pass because they are afraid it will fall on some poor unsuspecting person.

Apparently the thing has been floating over “Sensitive Sites” for a few days….and the military has allowed it.

But apparently this isn’t the first time, just the first we are hearing about it.

 

Now that there is Real Science instead of hysteria

We once again find that which those of us that used logic (and common sense) said early on, (and were shouted down by the folks in Medicine that simply and unquestioningly follow the flock…with no real science, only “Procedure”.)…yeah, we were correct.

Masks Don’t Work. (at least not any degree which rises above the statistical noise)

Anyone with a brain could see the truth. But, like the 6 foot spacing and all the other preventative measures that we were forced to follow, they were simply thought experiments that had no scientific foundation, pushed by people who really didn’t have any evidence that any of their so called “Preventative Measures” might work.

Nothing in the Covid-19 response had any basis in fact. Nothing. The models used to predict the spread used arbitrary start points and poorly collected statistics, therefore the data set was crap form the get-go. The measures used to screen people coming into the country were laughable in their method of detection. The preventative measures pushed on an unwilling population were totally without foundation, made up at best.

 

Hunter Biden admits “The Laptop” was his

And now he wants the information to be kept private. Claims that he was damaged because the information he had on the hard drive was made public.

Hunter Biden FINALLY admits infamous laptop is HIS as he sends letters to prosecutors demanding investigations into Trump allies Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani for peddling hard drive to media

‘Twas Hunter who left the laptop unclaimed after it was fixed, allowing it to become the property of the repair shop to dispose of as they wished. ‘Twas Hunter and his father who denied that the laptop was his. Since it wasn’t his by his own words, how could dissemination of that data be illegal?

Now, of course he admits that it is his and wants the information suppressed.

Publicizing the funeral

Nothing like making a memorial service into a circus act, is there?

Tyre Nichols’ funeral will be attended by celebrities who, 3 weeks ago, wouldn’t have let him park their car….but today they will say wonderful things about a man who they never knew or cared about…….because there will be TV cameras looking.

One has to wonder exactly what is being hidden behind the hoopla of Mr, Nichols’ funeral? What are the Media trying to distract us from seeing?  

 

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves:

Vera Liddell, 66 stole a million and a half dollars worth of chicken wings from the Harvey, Illinois school district school lunch program. 

And no one knows where they went.

Now, if one were crass, one could joke about the demographics of the thief…. and the district from which the wings were stolen. But I of course, am too high minded to point out the race of the involved parties. Go to the link to see what she looked like. Nothing like stereotypes……

Say what you want about Amazon

I needed some contact tips for my spoolgun. (the design on it is kinda crappy…there isn’t enough cooling from the gas lens and sometimes when doing low wire speed jobs on thin aluminum the wire will melt into the tip and solidify when you stop and then you gotta replace the tip) and while they are a common Miller tip, they were unavailable in my town….the TSC had none in stock, the Menards and Home Depot had none in stock, and the local small business gas supplier also was out…he could get some in a week…..maybe. They were available at the welding supply store store (spendy!), but that is 40 miles away….

But in one day, I got what I needed from Amazon at half the price from what the welding store had. Same brand too.

The local places complain that Amazon is killing them, and of that I have no doubt. But not having stock on a common item caused folks like me to go elsewhere. I tried “Local” first.
