Will the folks like Earthbound Misfit

Change their story now that the lies about Jan 6th are coming to light?

 

They said terrible things about Trump and his followers, but more and more it is coming out that this was a staged event…And the narrative is starting to crumble.

Will they be adults and admit that they helped perpetuate a bunch of lies??

Yeah, I won’t hold my breath. Nah, they’ll act like 8th grade girls. They are immature women and Liberals (who act like women)  and they (women) never admit it when they are wrong, or that they made a mistake. It’s the reason men and adults and Conservatives hold them in such poor regard, much the same way that women are held in disregard by men for their behavior.

(and yes, I singled out Comrade Misfit, but there are thousands more like her that need to grow up and see that they have been fed, and perpetuated, a bunch of lies)

 

Yes, it is flying in “Soup”

Had someone ask if it really is hard to fly in the clouds.

The answer is both yes, and no.

Yes, it is, if you have no instruments, or do have instruments but not the knowledge on how to use them.

There are no outside (or “Down” ) references. It’s like driving in a car with the windows painted grey. (Only in three dimensions).  Try having someone drive you around blindfolded and then try to determine north, or how fast you are going, or even level. It’s worse in an airplane. You can think you are in a  turn when you are not and try to correct for that, or think you are level when you are climbing (or descending)….you can think you are in a dive when you are in fact level…and try to correct for that dive which leads to a climb and then a stall. What you think is “down: may not be….

Like being blindfolded at a party and spun around and told to walk,…

Instruments can give you the references you need, but you gotta train yourself (get trained) to use ’em, believe in them, and act according to the information they give you. But it is like learning to walk again during that training. Your body likes to get a lot of information from your inner ear and other sense organs, but those can be fooled….so you use your eyes on your instruments to learn to fly according to the information that they give you and to ignore your inner ear and such.

You can easily kill yourself, your passengers, your airplane, and people on the ground if you fly without a visual reference while unable to process the information your instruments give you…. There’s a reason that the FAA requires “currency”….essentially practice. so you can fly on those instruments.

But once you learn, it isn’t hard, just different.

Flying an approach to a runway in the clouds is another level of difficulty, but that too just takes practice.

“Manna from Heaven”

At Terminal Velocity even…

Five people were killed and several injured after a parachute landing a humanitarian airdrop failed to open, bringing a pallet crashing down into a crowd of people waiting for food north of Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp.

All the media is very carefully not saying which country was doing the airdrop when the defective parachute allowed the pallet of food to crash into the ground.

 

Thoughts on the “port” in Gaza

Apparently it is gonna be a temporary floating pier. Technology that has been in use for decades, so not that big of a challenge engineering-wise. The Navy (and the Corps of Engineers)knows how to build those, even under fire. The harder part is keeping it safe

The issues I see are several-fold. Who is gonna do security at the point where it touches the land in Gaza? Israel? Egypt? The “UN” (hah!)?

Secondly, who is gonna provide cover for those ships, be they US Navy or private cargo, while they are unloading? Hamas has a thing with pipe and fertilizer rockets that are, actually, somewhat accurate. A ship in port, half unloaded, is a big fat target, as it the floating pier itself. Whoever is providing security is gonna have to deal with the fact that Hamas likes to shoot those rockets from apartment building and hospital roofs and parking lots and such. What’s gonna happen when, in suppressing Hamas rocket fire, the defenders of the port…either the US warships, the Israeli army or the Egyptians, kill a bunch of “innocent” “palestinian civilians”?

Thirdly, who is gonna provide inspections. We all know that someone will try to smuggle more weapons and ammunition in those truckloads of “aid”  Do you really think that Hamas and their ilk will not try to use the “aid” shipments as a conduit? I mean, we all know how honorable these people are, right? Who is gonna check those ‘Aid” shipments?

And do you really think that at some point, a Hamas “fighter” isn’t gonna detonate a truck on the pier itself?  Unless you are gonna provide drivers (and trucks that you will never recover) from the ships to the land, there will have to be “locals” and local trucks or trailers moving on that pier….

What’s gonna happen when the American servicemen at the gate to the pier are forced to shoot to keep someone from Gaza away from that gate? Then what? Or a truck bomb goes off at the gate?

This scheme is fraught with danger…..gonna get American servicemen killed, one way or the other.

And then we will be in that “war:.

There is NOTHING in Gaza that is worth brining the US into that mess.

 

SOTU thoughts: live and uncensored

I think the delay before Biden entered the rotunda, and his VERY slow walk through the crowd was designed to make it so he has less time to kill in his speech It limited his exposure by a significant amount.

 

If all Ukraine wants is weapons to fight Russia, then why do they want (insist, actually) them as dollars? Why are they insisting that they come as “foreign aid” dollars that are unaccountable rather than actual hardware?

Lies about Jan 6th. He must think everyone is stupid. “you can’t love your country only when you win”….like all the Left was well behaved when it was Trump? Terrible double standards.

“Trust in our institutions”? Really? You all blew that 3 years ago.

Joe is losing it talking about the Pandemic and the vaccine….

Tell us again how great your economy is. Everyone but the Migrants are hurting. No one believes what you are saying. Not anyone who buys groceries or clothing or cars or pays rent.

Have you noticed how much Pete Buttigieg resembles Alfred E, Newman?

Yeah, does he really think that giving people mortgage funds for two years will make houses more affordable in the long term?

Yeah, Pell grants really made college more affordable.

Your reduction of student loan debt screwed those people who paid their loans. You only helped the Women’s studies and historical French literature (and basketweaving ) graduates who worked at Starbucks….

Please, define what percentage is a :”fair share”? How much is enough?

Lies, the “exploded deficit” was caused by increased spending. Funny how that works. Raising taxes is always offset by increased spending.

Tax the corporations yeah, that helps make for more jobs in the USA.

8.2% of a billion a year is a hell of a lot more than 20% of $50K a year.

You gonna bring back the retirement age to what they promised when I started payin’ into it? Back then it was full at 65.

Yeah, setting prices really worked in Venezuela, didn’t it?

You gonna cut those hidden taxes on Cell phones, cable bills etc? You complain about hidden fees.

You could cut the backlog by not allowing all those people into the US, and make ’em, stay in their home countries ….try closing the border.

What bullshit his logic is regarding the illegal immigrants. Oddly, Trump essentially closed the border, why won’t you?  Close the border instead of blaming others.

I’d really like to see anyone who is denied the right to vote. Especially a black person to whom the right to vote is denied. I think he’s full of shit.

Violent crime is down? Really? Where?

Kamala must have a spring in her seat, she pops up every other sentence.

Of course it is the Assault Weapons. And “High Capacity” magazines.. Yeah, that’s the problem. Not crime and criminals.

Hamas is hidden by the civilians (and the UN)…. the civilians help to hide and protect the Hama fighters and leadership. Admit that too, Mr. President.

Wow, he got out just in time. His stumbling over words and phrases was becoming worse nd worse.

 

Does the press really

think that if they tell us that despite our lying eyes the “Biden Economy” is better than the Trump economy?

Perhaps they believe that if they say it often enough people might start to believe them?

 

What is it with Woke Women

(and it seems to be always women who do stupid shit like this)

Overstepping their bounds and making proclamations about shit that they shouldn’t be messing with..(and, of course, making assumptions about shit that they know little about). But the “Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Operations” RimaAnn O. Nelson felt that it should be banned. (With a Name like RimaAnn, is there any doubt?)

(after all, the woman in the photo, Greta Friedman, apparently didn’t mind being kissed)…

(you can read it better in the link above the memo)

She had no authority to ban the photo, no real reason to (except her perception that it was a “Non-consensual act”) ….

And her boss overruled her.

But was she fired? Demoted? Removed from any position of authority? See, that’s the real question. If she her judgement is that poor, should she have any authority at all?
