But all the headlines read essentially the same:

“video shows Michigan cop fatally shooting black man”

Why does his race matter? He was driving a car with plates that did not match the car. (Either stolen plates or stolen car?) and then ran, fought, and tried to take the policeman’s Tazer…..the cop was trying to subdue him, to take him into custody WTHOUT lethal force……I really think that had the man been white he would have been treated the same way had he acted the same.

But all the press can say is “Cop shot a BLACK MAN“.

Enough of this race baiting. The headline should, instead, read “Cop shot man who fought him and tried to escape while resisting arrest after lawful stop”….But that headline won’t sell many papers, will it?

Don’t wanna get shot? Here is a lesson in what NOT to do:

Don’t drive a car where the plates don’t match the car.

Don’t exit the car when told not to

Don’t try to run.

Don’t fight the officer when he catches you.

Above all, don’t do illegal things.

Those who do the above, generally greatly increase their chances of being shot. It really doesn’t matter what hue your epidermis is…….And those who DON’T do the above things generally don’t get shot, no matter what race you are or where your ancestors came from.

(and if you have a warrant, deal with it …if you don’t want the cops to arrest you after being stopped….).

No, really, they barely have mentioned it at all.

A federal jury failed to convict four men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Funny how in the weeks before the election the Media couldn’t stop mentioning the fact that these men had been arrested for the (supposed) plot…but now that the election is over it barely gets even a mention at all. And they kept trying to link these folks to Trump voters somehow…..

Funny, that, innit?

Of course, like most of these so called Militia movements where the FBI claims to have uncovered some plot, it is usually one Federal agency informing on another Federal Agency….

Plus pre election propaganda.

If you can’t see that you are blind, and possibly dumber than a fish bobber.

I’m talking about the subway attack on 4/12/22.

Dude left the keys to his rented van at the scene? Really? And the cops knew to process that evidence first? I mean, lots of evidence that he might have left behind, but generally keys stay in a pocket. (how did they link the keys to him in the chaos of the aftermath of the shooting?) All the backpacks and purses and parcels and coats and such….but they fouced on the keys (conveniently) left behind….And those keys led the investigators directly to the rented van……

And he was wearing a high visibility “Construction Vest” ….do people wear these on the Subway to and from work? Or was it to mark him to the other participants?

And, oddly (and coincidentally), the security cameras in the subway were again not working. How convenient.

And no one was killed. 10 shot, but no one killed…shot in a subway car. Close range. . Strange. No one bled out, desopite being shot at close range. No one.

Funny how these coincidences all happened at the same time, innit?

Perhaps it is just the reporting, but I don’t think so….I am thinking there is more to this story than just a deranged black man. Like false flag.

This smells as much as the Epstein “suicide”

ETA 3:15 PM Central: And the “suspect” was just wandering around New York waiting to be caught…..Not in any way distancing himself from the scene. Again, really strange.

What with all the above, I fully expect there to be a “Ghost Gun” in the mix and new legislation regarding gun control to “coincidentally” pop up in the very near future….

The double standards of the DNC types never ceases to amaze me.

Air quality standards were important….until they aren’t. The Environment matters…then it doesn’t.

They matter until the price of gasoline starts to damage their popularity in the polls, then those standards …..change. Become less important.

For years, the EPA disallowed the sale of E-15 gas in the warmer months (and outright banned it in some places) because it is more volatile than “regular” pump gas, and “May contribute to Smog” and other supposed environmental issues. They claimed that keeping the air quality standards kept tens of thousands of people from having health issues and that poor air quality contributed to thousands of deaths….. Regulations that cost the American people thousands of dollars every year. Because It Was Important. They told us so.

Until, of course, the price of gasoline at the pump got high enough that people started to become angry at the Biden Administration for those high prices….and the polls showed that his already declining popularity numbers were falling even more.

Then the EPA decided that cheaper gas meant more than the supposed Air Quality standards that they had been ruthlessly enforcing for many years. 

Funny how that works, innit? It was a matter of life and death that we kept our environment and Air Quality standards up, even at the price of more expensive gas….for over 20 years…..until it became an impediment to the DNC…then it suddenly no longer mattered. Suddenly.

If it weren’t for Double Standards, I really don’t think they’d have any standards at all.

So the United States Postal Service is suspending deliveries in a section of Santa Monica…..Because their Postal Carriers are being attacked way too much.

The city is blaming the homeless camps.

I dunno.. I doubt that that is the problem. I’d bet that it is something else. You decide…. I’d state what I think it is, but I am tired of being called a racist.

So now that the weather is warming, and it is less uncomfortable to go out on a Friday or Saturday night,….and as pretty much all of the Covid Protocols are completely lifted….I have an issue.

Some restaurants did what the Health Department and local governments required…but no more. They just wanted to follow the rules put upon them so they could stay open.

Other businesses not so much….. They went to carry out only and closed their dining rooms, or would only deliver to you in your car as they were afraid of having people in their indoor spaces because of the fear of covid….Others that had a drive through went to Drive Thru only out of fear of covid. .

I remember those that closed portions of their business out of fear….because of ignorance, mostly, but their actions made me angry.

Now, of course, they want people to patronize their dining rooms…(More money, bigger ticket, plus alcohol sales in many cases.) Fuck-’em. I choose to spend my money where the ignorant fear did not take hold, where management and owners actually used their brains rather than cowered in fear and ignorance.

Lots of places to eat. I’m not gonna support those ignorant and fearful fools. They have every right to conduct their business as they saw fit. I have every right to spend my money elsewhere…They probably still wear masks when alone in their cars.

It is a crying shame that the DOJ won’t spend half as much time investigating the Hunter Biden laptop links and his (and his father and uncle’s) finances and kinks to both China and Ukraine as they  are trying to find a link between Donald Trump and the Jan 6 protest. We know the laptop is real, and we have all seen excerpts form the files. Address them.

If Trump is guilty, then fine, charge him. But for god’s sake look into the links in the laptop, rather than slow-walking the investigation. It’s not politics, it is National Security.

That the protest by women in the USA regarding the war in Ukraine.

Silent vigils

Taped over faces.

Lines of shoes symbolizing the dead.

They accomplish NOTHING.

Like most Leftist protests, they impress only themselves and influence no one. Demonstrate their uselessness and impotence. Symbology accomplishes nothing without action. (But hey, they get to act together with their sisters and feel good about themselves. Plus pretty flowers in their hair)

The only thing that truly stops war is naked aggression and violence, or the threat of it.

But their actions make them FEEL like they are doing something, at least. Useless bunch of twits.

Look: I believe that any judge who is at the Appeals Court level is likely qualified to be a Supreme.

But Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be forever remembered as the Token Black woman. I kinda a feel sorry for her. That shadow will cover her no matter what she does from here.

Into which one throws money”

It is said that a boat is a “hole in the water into which one throws money”.

Such it also is with airplanes….except the hole is bigger and deeper.

The 340 had a starting issue after sitting for two weeks….and it didn’t have enough battery to start the engine when I tried to…the starter turned the engine until the top of the compression stroke and then…nothing.

Pulled the panel on the wing, disconnected the battery (3 different screwdriver types!) and put it on the tester….Fail. Left it in the maintenance shop overnight on the “desulphate” setting…Fail.

No choice, ordered a new battery. Interestingly enough, the battery that was in the 340 is not the correct battery. same capacity and size, just a non correct part number. (might be an approved replacement, I didn’t check) Ordered the correct battery, and it will be here on Monday. The least expensive lead-acid was “No stock available” with expected ship date in two weeks…at a price of $548,  The Sealed-Lead-acid equivalent ($140 more) was available. The other option was the Concord AGM for yet an additional $108….I chose the middle one as it was available. Pricey. At least I got free ground shipping…..

If you think boat parts are expensive, you ain’t seen nothin’.
