“‘Aggressively’ arresting”
Yep, some cops shouldn’t be cops.
Thing is, folks in Ottowa felt the arrest (and the handling) of the old man was wrong…..But no one did more than protest.
Cops are a needed part of society….But cops are cops, and they do tend to pick on those who are most easily forced into compliance…
And I think the cops in Ottowa are kinda scared right now. People simply aren’t being compliant like they used to be. But the cops who did this need to outed….and beaten……as a lesson to others.
The laptop keeps leaking secrets…..too bad the press squashed the story before the election
Read the whole thing. Apparently Young son Biden even ditched his Secret Service detail to take these meetings….and the current Secret Service administration is tying to hide the fact when asked.
Why does it take a foreign news service to give us real news on the DNC affiliated folks??
Remind me never to stop for AvGas in Kentucky again
So I was on my way back from South Carolina. and the headwinds were brutal….and not what was forecast. Like they were supposed to be 6 knots of headwind and instead were 35+ knots….
So I did the math and even using up my reserve (a No-No) I would still be about 15 minutes shy of making it back to my home airport….
Looking at ForeFlight, there was an airport with decently priced fuel smack on my path about 60 miles ahead….runway was aligned with the prevailing wind and the weather there was decent…and it would still leave me with over an hour of fuel at that time…. So I called ATC and asked them to modify my flight plan for a stop at 0I8 so I could get some go juice to make it home.
Got clearance to go there, descended and lined up for a straight-in for landing…
The runway looked wet, and very black in the sun as I configured for landing on final. Did a smooth approach and flare ….and found out the hard way that it had snowed the night before, that no one had cleared the runway and I landed on wet slush…and very nearly did not stop. It was close to “Go-Around” time but I honestly was so far down the runway when I decided that I might not be able to stop but I wasn’t sure I could get up fast enough to clear the trees at the other end of the runway…braking action was near zero until the last 1200 feet or so. I mean, I had the nose wheel up, full flaps and all the aerodynamic drag I could produce but just ooozled down the runway, not losing speed. Like wet Black Ice but with slush instead of hard ice. A fair bit of butt-puckering there for a short moment…do I try to take off again and yank it over the trees? or stay down and overrun the end of the runway? In the end it became just wet and I was able to get some braking action, but for a moment it looked like only bad and worse choices….I thought it was wet, not slush or ice….Lesson for me…
So I get stopped (finally), pull off the runway to the Self Serve pump, and the credit card reader is offline….All that shit and puckering for nothing….
Go into the office to see if perhaps I am doing anything wrong, and find out that the Self Serve Fuel (there is no other source) has been offline for days (but no Notam!) …it is suggested that I go to 27K, another airport about 10 miles southwest….Which I did in a short VFR hop, and which DID have a working terminal….their runway, at least had been cleaned,,, but not the taxiways…. But at least they had available 100LL….So Good/Bad ….
Filled the plane up at 27K using the fuel nozzle which would neither go to full flow nor full off (it tricked a fair bit of fuel when in the off position, which required some planning so I didn’t spill too much on the ground….and we took off again. I may have wasted a gallon or two what with the malfunctioning nozzle, but I did get the tanks full.
I guess asking people to work on Sundays or to actually have working self serve fuel terminals in good repair is asking too much for rural Kentucky……But I did get enough fuel to make it home.
Irritating though. Had I known, I’d have paid the nearly $2/gal premium at Tac-Air at Lexington (KLEX) and just sucked it up….
But now I know, never stop for fuel in Rural Kentucky airports again.
Having said that, even with the stop, it was less than 5 hours to return. It takes a little over 16 hours to drive it.
Perhaps the most consequential finding in the research, however, is that vaccines did not appear to reduce the spread of the virus.
So all the hype about the Unclean Unvaccinated is….Bullshit.
We aren’t any more danger to the rest of the public than those who are vaccinated.
Spain’s First Study on Omicron Finds Vaccinated People Spread COVID at Same Rate as Unvaccinated
Several governments in Spain scrapped COVID passports following the study’s release.
I’m betting “False Flag”
Probably paid for by Trudeau.
I’d bet money on it. It’s page 483 of the Leftist playbook. Also a typical method used by totalitarians.
Apparently true:
There were more kids in Chicago that were killed by gunfire in 2021 than died from Covid.
Mostly, of course, on the south and west sides.
The vaccination status of both groups is unknown
Huh….they think having more natural gas will make pricing get lower
Who’a thunk that?
U.S. Senators Want To Put Brakes On LNG Exports To Curb Domestic Energy Bills.
It’s almost like they think that more natural gas supply will bring down prices. (this is corollary to the “don’t ship it overseas because then the price will go up locally” part of their message. Are these the same folks that are doing their best to make it difficult to find and exploit other gas wells here is the US? That supported a stop to new gas wells on Federally controlled land? That supported shutting down the pipeline to bring us cheap oil from canada?
Kinda two faced there , innit? I mean, yes, sending all that natural gas to europe will raise the price here. Contrawise, having even more gas supply available here in the US will make our prices go down…
If they believe that we need low natural gas prices, why are they supporting all of slow Joe’s initiatives to reduce our domestic supply of oil and natural gas?
So the pushback is working
Lots of changes on the “vaccine” front in Canadia, likely influenced by the border blockade.
No “tax” on the unvaccinated (for now)
In some places, an end to Vaccine mandates.
I still think that this ends with violence, as the Canadian Government will not let this disrespect and disobedience pass. At some point, arrests (and maybe worse) will happen….likely as soon as they figure out how to get enough tow trucks mobilized. THe cops will, as always, follow orders.
Further, I’d bet that other retribution happens later, as they will track down each and every protester they can, and use the tax people or some other agency to punish them for being uppity. Bet on it. Lots of ways to make life miserable when you have the poser of the government of a country to wield.
May have been part of the conversation:
“Why do all the snowplows have Trump stickers in the windows and “Lets Go Brandon” stickers on the tailgates?
“That’s because no one in government gives you a Truck with a Snowplow, you gotta buy them, and the folks who drive them actually work for a living”.
You can guess which one was me….
