Sometimes you wanna smack people

“You don’t have to worry about the price of natural gas, B, You heat with wood so all your heat is free“.

Grr. Heating with wood is NOT free heat. Sourcing the wood, cutting it, hauling it, stacking it, seasoning it, splitting it, maybe more seasoning, bringing it inside and stacking it in the basement. All part of the process. It’s work. And time. And sweat.

Yeah, “Free”.  Plus chainsaw maintenance and fuel, splitter gasoline and maintenance, trailer maintenance, truck fuel, etc.

 

Less than heating with natural gas? Yep. Free? Not a chance. Plus the time it takes.    Might be a net loss sometimes.

 

 

Whole lotta truth here

I had forgotten this quote.

 

Via Midwest Chick.

 

They are almost always the ones who push the bullshit slogans, social memes, and absolute crap.

Without White Liberal Women, most of it wouldn’t last a day.

Most women know this, they just can’t let themselves admit it.  It hurts them to think about it…and they are sure that it doesn’t apply to them….

We need to stop letting them drive this shit and push them out of their current place in society…..maybe let them go back them back into their real position. Stop the crap and the US will likely be a better place.

As Italy follows suit

And prepares to withdraw from the World Health Organization.

“Italy must no longer have to deal with a supranational power center — handsomely financed by Italian taxpayers — which goes hand in hand with the multinational pharmaceutical companies. Let’s use those 100 million to support the sick in Italy and finance our hospitals and doctors!”

 

An awful lot of people are gonna lose their non-productive jobs. Lots of people are gonna lose their opportunities for graft.

How many more countries will leave? Will the UN be next down the line? Lots of folks are gonna lose their Gravy Train in the upcoming months.

This is what I voted for, or at least the leadership part of what I voted for.

 

And an example of

when the non-experts who really have no idea tell you something but it turns out to be bullshit. Fad diets promulgated by people who really don’t know what they are talking about are generally just that, bullshit.

The thing is, this was a 3500 calorie diet, two men who worked out daily and rigorously…

Calories are, after all, calories.

High Fat Vs High Carb diets: Two twins try to find out which is better. 

Somewhat un-scientific, but still….

 

 

From CBS News :

On the evening news 2/7/25 Margaret Brenner:

“Because of the USAID shutdown there are THOUSANDS of Tons of food sitting in warehouses that are unable to be delivered, People are starving!”

Seems to me that if the food is already there, and is already paid for, that the governments of the peoples and countries that are the recipients of said food could muster up enough labor to deliver it rather than let it sit in a warehouse…

Of course, this presumes the statement is true, and that the people are actually on the verge of starvation or that the government’s care about their citizens. And that after only 3 days the people have begin to starve….

Either way, if the food is in the warehouse and the expected recipients can’t be bothered to find a way to distribute it, then they really need to rethink their priorities….

 

As far as I can remember, and I am pushing 6 decades, the same countries have been receiving the largesse of the United States….Thing never seem to improve there. Are we really helping?

Is this a good use of the taxes paid by the US citizens? Or is it simply a way for some people to receive kickbacks from the suppliers of the grain and the companies that transport and store it?

 

First half of the training done:

The MU-2 is a BEAST: two 715 HP Garret/Honeywell turboprops.

A heavy airplane, but that is offset by the engine power. Flies, climbs and cruises like a real badass machine…. 290 knots true at FL280.

Great flyer, handles REALLY well. So much so that I had issues with overcontrolling it. Lands fast, and at an odd attitude, but is very doable once you get used to the hard nose-down attitude and sight picture on short final.

Fast as hell too: 280+  knots all day long. Yet flies 135 in the pattern.

I’d still be training except the trainer had to go to his other job as a corporate jet pilot…but that is ok, as now I have more time to study and internalize the stuff that I learned. It was, for a while, like drinking from a firehose, but I managed to absorb enough, I think.

Once I get certified I’m gonna burn a LOT of jet fuel.

Seriously.

So it appears

that all the major media outlets have been paid to publish (or not publish) stories and news unless the Left approved it.

 

Lots of tracking of the monies, apparently via USAID and the State Department and or their contractors, went to most, if not all, of the major newspapers, the Media and other outlets that “inform” the public…all supporting the Left agenda.

This explains such stories as the Biden Laptop, and lots of other oddities.

And now the Media is freaking out

about the possible “Dismantling” of FEMA…

 

There must be a lot of opportunities for graft there as well. I bet these same people that are losing their rice bowl at USAID are also involved as FEMA contractors…..Bet those contracts are very lucrative as well.
