Seeing as how a BLACK police officer shot a young white woman….as she fled.

I mean, were the races reversed, we’d see riots, burning and looting and lots of other property destruction, right? If it was a white cop and a black person then that sort of behavior would be acceptable….And the Media would fan the flames.

Yet here we have a black officer who shot a white girl…and there is no media hype, no protests in the streets, no jumping to conclusions, no assumption of anything…white people are not rioting in the streets, not fighting cops, not burning entire neighborhoods. (and the video makes it look like a bad shoot, but we don’t have all the details)

Note: I am not jumping to conclusions here, I don’t know what happened before the video clip starts, and I don’t know all the details: perhaps the cop had a good reason for the shooting……But neither did we have any of the details of the other shootings of back people by white cops that were sensationalized by the media just before the election that led to those BLM riots and such…..

I think that whites should riot in the streets over this like the black people did over the shootings of those criminals in 2019 and 2020. But we won’t.

11 million job openings, yet the economy only was able to gain a few hundred thousand jobs….

This tells us that either the aid packages are too large (or are no longer needed at all) or that the people applying for those jobs (if they are applying, that is) are ineligible for those jobs….in other words there are not enough skilled people….Welders and carpenters heavy equipment operators and machinists and such all need training….and, of course, for many people, a blood or hair test for drugs will show them ineligible for skilled employment. (we won’t talk about the idiocy of the “mandate” that does not really legally exist)

And at the other end, the “unskilled” jobs market, the federal and state handouts make working at those jobs illogical, when one can do nothing and make the equivalent of $15 or more just in handouts.

There is something wrong with a government system that encourages people not to work.

Seems that the “mandate” does not, at this time, exist.

There is no legal reason, at this time, for employers to force their employees to be “vaccinated” for Covid. No rules, no law, no mandate.

Just words from a senile old man, supported by a crooked Press.

Does anyone know of a USB power bank that will allow charge through?

In other words, one that will allow you to charge a device while the power bank is plugged in and charging?

Most will do either charging of a device or charging of the power bank, but not both at the same time.

I’d like to have one for my ForeFlight Ipad in the 340. That way I could plug the battery bank into the plane, and the Ipad into it and keep both charged and have backup if the charging port goes wonky..

But as of today, the number of CASES of covid has declined by 20% in the last month (4 weeks/28 days).

Go look it up yourself.

Then ask yourself why we need to “vaccinate” children….

Everywhere else in the world, except in the US….

Odd, that.

Read the Report HERE

Despite all that Fauci has claimed, and oddly enough, Phizer has come up with a treatment that works nearly exactly the same way as Ivermectin….

Funny how that works, innit? One wonders how many people died from covid that did not need to…..

Go here. (You should read Phil daily anyway, so you may have seen it already):

It’s like…no one that I know of ever risked their life to get to Cuba, either….And no one ever risked death to get INTO East Germany across the Berlin Wall (for you millenials, you’ll have to ask Siri what I am talking about)

It would seem that there is a lack of shipping and the fact that the ports aren’t working 24/7 because even if they did, there is no way to move shipping containers FROM the ports to where their destinations are….No trucks and while trains are running, there is nobody to unload them (and, again, no trucks to move them the last few miles)

Lots of stuff is running out. and lots of Christmas stuff isn’t getting to the warehouses when there is a 1 month backlog of ships waiting to be unloaded…

And as Peter pointed out, lots of consumables for cars are simply not available. Lots of things like filters, belts and hoses cannot be found. I generally stock 3 oil changes worth of supplies, but am down to two right now as the filters that I generally use for the cars are backordered…..

Expect more and more issues to crop up in the near term.

I’ve gone to what I call “Socialism Mode”…When shopping, if something I use is available, I buy MORE than I need…or buy one even if I don’t need one right now (if it is shelf stable)…..What I need, and at least one spare. Not only goods, but foodstuffs as well. Yes, I know that doing so helps cause shortages, but I’d rather have and not need than need and not have. I don’t go crazy and buy way more than I need, but an extra item or two ensures that I have a few extra on hand.

I strongly suggest you do the same. Not just with toilet paper, but with foodstuffs. And car consumables. And socks and other clothing items….hygiene supplies….filters for your home. belts for critical machinery, etc. I am advised that things like garbage bags and other plastic based items may be difficult to get soon, as the raw materials are sourced form overseas. So I stock stuff like that, as it is relatively shelf stable.

The Covid debacle has repercussions and will for some time. Add the fact that lots of people are choosing not to work (’cause free money makes us lazy) and the mismanagement by our current President and Congress and you have the making of a disaster…

Prepare, if you can, be wise……The days of easy availability will likely return, but not for a while yet.

I mean, really. Travelers coming into the US via plane or boat (at actual CBP Points of Entry) have to show all sorts of documentation in order to enter the US. Generally  having to provide proof of vaccination or a least a negative covid test

And yet, none of those 12,000 “Hatian” people who illegally entered the United States and were given some form of asylum have been tested…nor are they being required to show any proof of either a negative test nor vaccination.

Yet these folks have been spread out across the US, left to mingle with ordinary Americans, in many geographical locations….Do they Have Covid? I don’t know, and neither does our government. Are they a danger to US citizens? I don’t know one way or the other and neither do you.

Yet one has to ask…if the Federal Government felt the need to require testing and vaccination for so many American citizens that it pushed a mandate for vaccination on employees of businesses with over 100 employees  (except, of course for the Postal Service and members of Congress and a few other special groups) then why not for these migrants? Why not at least a negative covid test before being released into the wild across the United States?

Is there a crisis, or is there not a crisis? Is testing and mandated vaccination worthwhile or isn’t it? If so, then why aren’t these folks being tested and inoculated at least to the level that is required of many Americans?
