I cannot help

but wonder how many times David Begnaud got his ass kicked in High School or at whatever College he attended….I mean, wedgies or locked in a locker or faced in the toilet or other sorts of Bad Things in humiliation because of his looks and mannerisms.

I mean, he’s obviously someone’s boifriend who is a player at CBS…..
And he’s just kinda weasely and creepy.

But hey, however he got there, whatever he had to do to get his job at CBS,  I am sure he makes more money monthly than I do yearly.

Toldya so….

Seems that women are finding that that #MeeToo movement is hurting their chances to advance in business….and now women say that that is unfair and now men need to “Step Up”.

Those terrible, mean, insensitive, uncaring men won’t meet with them one on one, won’t take them to lunches or dinners for mentoring, won’t travel with them.…Just to protect themselves from accusations….

Odd, that. Being accused of rape, or attempted rape, or other sexual improprieties scares men. Frightens them that they could lose their careers, reputations, and incomes…

And who can blame them?

Women are reaping what they sowed. 

And Congratulations

To my Niece. Who is now a Nurse.

Lots of hard work, lots of dedication. And more hard work.

And graduated with a degree that will be useful to her for the rest of her life.

An actual, degree that will provide her with a job.

Some smart young ladies in my family there.

But….that’s not what they told us!

So it would seem that there are FEWER racist incidents and fewer racist comments since Trump was elected....not more as we were told.

Odd, isn’t it? How often the Media and the Democrats LIE about things Trump.

But then again, the Media is, mostly, just spokespersons for the Democrats and repeaters of Democrat propaganda.

Are there still racists out there? Yes. Lots….too many. Both sides. Black Racism is still prevalent, and Latino racism, while still out there, si simply less strident. White racism gets more press, but there isn’t more now than there was then…it is simply what the press chooses to cover (and, more importantly, what the press chooses NOT to cover to hide and to influence public opinion…..).

Another nail in the coffin

of Chicago.

Hospitals will be forced to give more free care.

Wanna bet that this will increase the number of hospitals closing in Chicago? It certainly isn’t gonna induce anyone to open another state-of-the-art hospitals…

And why should anyone pay for water now? Mayor Lightfoot claims that she will immediately stop water service shutoffs for non-payment. 

So who is gonna pay for the water system? Upkeep and replacement and upgrades? in 20 years Chicago’s water system will be worse that Flint Michigan’s.

The only thing that Lightfoot had over her opponent was that she wasn’t part of the Chicago Machine…But she is a socialist who has no clue how to run a city.

Chicago had little choice….A socialist who will destroy the city or a Machine Politician who would loot it.

Expect Chicago to move more towards the Baltimore model in the next 4 years. the “Rich” will move to the surrounding areas and Chicago will end up with only the poor and the indigent….And business areas will soon move elsewhere too, as crime increases….Just like the current South Side issues.

Which is it?

You can’t pick and choose here, folks:

Either the Tenth Amendment is valid, or it isn’t.

Pick one or the other.

If y’all get Sanctuary Cities and legal marijuana in your state, in violation of Federal laws, then Alabama gets to ban abortion in their state. Those laws were voted on and passed by the legally elected representatives of the citizens of Alabama.

Since in other states the Tenth is in force, then it is in force with this law too….like it or not. Just because Roe V Wade and abortion is a court ruling that is near and dear to the hearts of Democrats and Liberals doesn’t make it any more special or sacred than any other law.

You can’t Cherry Pick which federal laws are subject to the Tenth and which aren’t. Either the Federal laws trump the States or they don’t.

If Marijuana is legal in Colorado despite Federal Law saying it isn’t….then Roe V Wade can’t be enforced in Alabama either. If Democrat run cities can be Sanctuaries for Illegal Immigrants, then Alabama can ban abortions in that state. 

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”


I’m a big Tenth Amendment kid of guy. The Feds have limits on the laws they can have and enforce. While I am not a fan of abortion, I believe that  Roe V Wade should have been passed back to the States and the Supremes should not have ruled upon it or even heard the case.

The Democrats, however, wish to pick and choose where the Tenth is applied. Can’t have that.

Pick one or the other.

Not quite what we have been led to believe….

Seems that there is another viewpoint of the way the NRA operates:

According to Colonel West, the vote for officers didn’t go exactly the way that it was portrayed.

Nor is the Board unanimous in it’s support of Wayne LaPierre.

I, for one, will not give the NRA a dime until he is removed….and further, until there is fiscal (and other) reform within the NRA.

I’ve been unhappy with the NRA for a long time….their performance, their finances, and their failures. They may well be the loudest voice that we, as gun owners have, but the board has hijacked the organization…..and the Board has failed the members.

And I voted, but I wonder if they even count them. This is the second year that I had to call the NRA to get my ballot….it wasn’t in my monthly magazine. That, in itself, was a hassle.

Holds and ILS

Did some holds today. Harder than I thought they’d be. Flying the intersections was easy compared to the last time.  The Hold was somewhat difficult. It’ll be easier next time.

But the ILS approach and the actual landing were fun.

It was kinda neat to take off the Foggles at the Decision Height and be right where I should have been
There was, effectively, no wind to correct for, and so all I had to do was fly my needles and pay attention to airspeed and my landing checklist. Did a nearly perfect touchdown on 27.

But I am tired. Lots of stress today.

1.5 and 2.
