Elon musk is reputed to have said that next he will buy McDonalds and will try to get (and keep!) the ice cream machines working….

Except when it comes from any government agency:

CDC and FDA ‘altered’ Covid guidance and even ‘suppressed’ findings while under political pressure

And all this time we’ve been branded as “Conspiracy Theorists” because we said that Covid response was political and the “Science”  of Covid was as reliable (not) as the “Science” of Global Warming…..and as reliable as a Twitter feed for information.

So, essentially, they’ve been lying to us for 3 years for political gain. Whoda thought?

Seems New Jovian (T-Bolt) has checked out. Tam reports that his cancer has caught up with him. His last post was 4/15

He was a nice dude. We met at an NRA convention once and chatted for a few. The internet is a lesser place without his wit.

Go bravely forward, sir. We will see you soon enough.

I’d have posted this earlier, but couldn’t get WordPress to take the file.

Flying at 200 knots at 15,000 feet through clouds. On the way back from Knoxville just before we hit the edges of the stormfront.

I was hand flying with my right hand while videoing with my left on a cell phone, so the video is a bit shakey. Flying through clouds almost always is a bit bumpy as well.

(and I never (ok seldom generally Oh, who am I kidding? ) advocate violence….)

But there is one way to prevent pedophilia that has a zero chance of recidivism.

When we were in Knoxville Saturday, we ate with friends at Calhoun’s.

Smoked Prime Rib……Holy freaking God Almighty. 

If you are ever in Knoxville, I HIGHLY recommend you eat there and try the Prime Rib.

So in Chicago over the weekend, crowds of “Young People” damaged cars, broke windows, hassled pedestrians and caused general mayhem in the downtown areas.

Oddly though, the videos shows only black people. But the News folks strangely fail to mention that somewhat important fact. (and it is important, simply because people need to know who they are dealing with in public, and which groups of people are committing the crimes). Maybe there were whites and Hispanics and Asians and Middle Easterners in there and the camera only caught 100% African Americans by chance (across all the videos)……

The “event” was, apparently coordinated via “Social Media”. The folks organizing it know that the police can’t deal with crowds of thousands…..at least not unless they use methods that will get them crucified in the news media, so the miscreants have, essentially, free reign to do what they want.

Of course, it makes decent, honest people simply want to live, work, and relax elsewhere. But they can’t in the same parks, streets and restaurants because of the animal.

Until and unless someone tells the truth, that this is a bunch of poor black kids acting like animals, and takes action to stop it, it will continue and spread…..

The sad part is that for every uncultured misbehaving black kid, there are likely 60 or more black kids who weren’t there…but the ones that stayed home will be looked at as if they were that same kind of out of control animal….Judged by the actions of their peers. How are the rest of us to know which group we are dealing with?

Fucker is begging for arms, and then he says this?

‘You can’t come to us empty-handed today, and we are expecting not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons,’ he said before the arrival of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

It ain’t like or his country are paying for the war materiel nor trading anything for it.

Were I part of the negotiations I’d tell Zelensky to pound sand.

Landing on a 5000 ft runway, orientation 18/36 with a 220 wind at 26 gusting 36.

I gotta say it was challenging. But the plane is still usable and it was, if not a greaser, not all that bad a landing.  Wasn’t my best though. On centerline too. The approach was at about a 45 degree crab.

There were no good choices though, so I did it. Beat the storm in and put the plane away.

It was a challenge, and I almost went around just at the flare. Differential thrust is a good thing to have.

So the Supreme Court upheld that the US can treat Puerto Rico (a protectorate) differently than the States….at least as far as government handouts like Social Security and SSI are concerned.

Puerto Rico folks don’t pay Federal Income taxes, nor do they get representation in Congress…because they aren’t a state. They have benefitted greatly from being a protectorate of the US…no military costs, no taxes, lots of aid in Natural disasters, etc.

Now they want SSI for their people, despite not having contributed to the pool. They have NEVER anted-up to the table, being instead a drain on US taxpayers.

Are the citizens of Puerto Rico willing to do what the rest of us do in order to reap the benefits? If so, we can talk. If not, then shut up. Were it up to me, they’d be cut loose to mire in their own corruption and lawlessness.

Liberals are, of course, outraged. And it would seem that most who oppose this ruling are from or related to people who are from, Puerto Rico. Odd that. In fact, in advocating for free stuff for Puerto Rico, they are in fact, violating their oaths and bringing their loyalty to their country, the on who elected them. Race over Country is a thing amongst (Many) Hispanics, innit?
