According to the source, the FBI “Raided” Trump’s home looking for the letter that Barry left for him when Trump took office, and a letter from Kim Jong Un. (or, at least, that was the pretext).

The fact that they made a big spectacle of it that was splashed over the news for days was, of course, simply a coincidence.

I’m thinking that the entire thing was orchestrated to make Donnie look bad. The fact that it further polarized an already divided electorate was an unexpected result.

We shall see how things progress once the affidavit is unsealed, assuming that it isn’t entirely redacted.

Either way, the left got their moment showing FBI agents raiding Mar-A-Lago and got Trump connected with an FBI raid.

They must REALLY be afraid of him.

I mean, even Donnie Trump warned ’em about 6 years ago that they were vulnerable.

But the Green folks convinced Merkle to depend on Natural Gas as a source of energy rather than other forms that come from more reliable producers…

And now Russia is playing games.

I bet when the average German Citizen is sitting in their cold and dark home, then Russia’s influence will begin to mean something…..

So Juan and Jose` decide to try panhandling.

They set up on a busy corner at 9 AM and begin begging for money, one in each direction, holding cardboard signs asking for money. About 1 pm, they decide to take a break and compare how much they had collected

Juan has $2857, Jose` has $42.

Jose says “Wow, how did you get all that money? We had the same amount of traffic, but you got so much more money.”

Juan says “What does your sign say?

Jose` shows him the sign: “Need money, out of work and homeless, please help”.

“It’s your sign, that’s the problem” says Juan, and shows him the sign he’s been holding up for the past 4 hours: “Need a few more dollars so I can go back to Mexico”.

If you have an IPhone, update the IOS….. IMMEDIATELY.

Apparently there is a newly discovered security flaw that can easily compromise your phone and ALL of your data.

A damned good point, innit? Ask yourself why the Covid “vaccine” and not the others?

So the woodsplitter got uncovered over the winter. The 10 Hp engine sat out and I didn’t notice that the tarp had blown off of it…water had gotten into the carb and mice had eaten the spark plug wire insulation. (This splitter was homemade,  from parts sourced (likely) from industry. Hell of a big cylinder (like 8″) with a bunch of oversized rails and tanks and fittings. It is a cobbled together mess, that I bought 30 years ago at a sale but it splits wood like no tomorrow…. and I have replaced the worn out 10 HP Briggs with another (less) worn out 10HP Briggs engine).

But it needed the carb cleaned up or replaced…..And the magneto fixed…or an engine replacement…..

No problem, says I. I have another engine sitting in the barn from a Cub Cadet lawnmower that is identical to the one on the splitter. Should take about 4 hours to swap ’em out…Except I can’t find it. I had it 6 or so years ago, but not now…I either traded it or simply lost it in the clutter. I dunno.

So I raided my neighbor’s pile of scrap and found an engine in parts that used the same magneto. Stole that. (he’s good about that sort of thing. We swap stuff all the time…if he needs it and I have it it is his, same-same)

Looked on Amazon for a carb rebuild kit. Huh. Gasket, float and needle kits are $40 ish. New chinese copies of the carb were $19. So I bought a carburetor. .

Supposed to be an “Exact replacement”. Not really, but the throat size was the same, and the mounting bolts were in the right place….it would work. While not an “exact replacement”, it did fit and with a few washers and some filing, all the other parts fit onto to it.

Now I have a working woodsplitter.

Of course, the starter failed right after I got the engine running (corrosion from exposure kept the bendix from disengaging and it ate the gear) but I did have a starter that I had cleaned up from another engine sitting (where I could find it!!) on the shelf and it was a simple swap.

Runs like a champ now. I shall split wood with it this weekend.

So nice to have parts and such that can be repurposed.

They take an idea (that they know nothing about, really), and try to sell it to people that actually think.

Seems that Liz Cheney is on her way out.

Unseated.

People remember your actions, And in this case, they remembered that she did not represent the people, her constituents, and embarked on a vendetta against Trump….

And they voted her out in the primary.

The choice is: enough land for food production or enough land for energy production.

Not too much of a choice, really.

“In a decarbonized world that is renewable-powered, the land area required to maintain today’s British energy consumption would have to be similar to the area of Britain,”

“This, in turn, had presented the authorities with a choice between continuing to use arable land for wind and solar, or using it for food.”

Essentially, what it comes down to is that if we use all the available land area to place solar panels and windmills, then someone is gonna starve.

Smaller countries are gonna have even bigger issues.

One can have carbon-free renewable energy. Or, one can have enough food to feed the population. You cannot have both using current methods. (and that is with current farming practices using pesticides and chemical fertilizers. If you go “organic” then the numbers are even worse)

Starve, or live in the dark and cold. That is the choice the Greens would have us make.

CBS News is calling Gab a “Far Right Media Site”.

I guess from their viewpoint, it is. Of course, I find nearly all News Media and the other  censored Social Media to be Far Left, so there is that.

(Of course, had it not been for the censorship of Facebook and Twitter et-Al, there would be no Gab, would there?)
