Where are the criminal charges?

Who goes to jail for this? At best it is perjury, at worst it is criminal conspiracy to change an election…

FBI Apologizes for Deceiving FISA Court in Order to Surveil Carter Page

In my opinion, each and every person involved, or who even KNEW about this at the FBI should be charged with (and tried for, and if possible, convicted) for this “Investigation” as an attempt to subvert our electoral process.

These folks KNEW they were lying on their application to the court when they applied for permission to surveil Mr. Page. KNEW.IT. and they did so anyway, because they didn’t want to let Donald Trump become President of the US.

So, how many people are going to prison here? I think one could make a good case for Treason, actually.

Looks like a big storm

And it’s gonna hit the East Coast.

So we get lots of news coverage. Foot by foot/mile by mile coverage as it progresses past the Mississippi river and across the Ohio Valley. If it were gonna miss the New York/Washington area, it’d just be a wether report. As it is, we get breathless coverage from the National News.

But that’s the way it is…it’s only news if it affects the Newsmakers. 

And more holds today.

And they were good.

I suppose this is like learning to shoot with a rifle at longer ranges…

One must get comfortable enough that at some point things just “click”

Or learning to weld….you struggle to make an arc (and then make a decent bead) and then it just happens.

I dunno. But it seems to be happening for me finally. 

I may be finally getting it.

Did some more holds (both VOR and Intersection) today.

And I finally seem to be getting them correctly.

Holds are easy in low/no wind situations. Much harder in high wind situations.

Today, I executed a hold in winds at over 35 knots. Did ’em right, with good intercepts and consistent (and correct) flight paths.

After enough practice, even I can maybe learn.

No step on snek

I keep seeing license plates from Virginia  like the top one in this article….(I live in Indiana, so I dunno why these keep appearing near my home)

I wondered if I was mistaken, and if that was the state motto. I wasn’t mistaken….It isn’t. The state motto is “Sic Semper Tyrannis”…death unto tyrants.

Perhaps the incoming (mostly Democrat) state government members might remember that motto.

I expect that if they don’t remember, or choose to ignore it, then things might get all “Rodeo” when they try to keep the promise they made to remove certain “bad” firearms from the people of Virginia

So Iran vows revenge

And every DNC type is claiming that this is Trump’s fault.

Thing is, like every middle eastern country, the natives are big on threats and rhetoric and short on action.

And, in the end, if we are so worried about terror threats here in the US from middle eastern folks, then maybe we oughta start tossing them out if we are so afraid of threats. (Note that I am not saying we should toss all immigrants, just those that are known to DHS and might be threat, be they citizens or not)

One more thing: Iran has been an opponent of the US for monger than many of my readers have been alive….Ever since the Shah was deposed (and possibly since even before that). Ever since Jimmeh Carter had a cowards approach to the invasion of our embassy there and subsequent embassy prisoner debacle in 1979, they have been an enemy of the US. 

BBBUT I DESERVE a cushy gooberment job!!

Read this article from a career State Department employee unhappy with the act that Donnie Trump has changed things up.

Pretty much this message:

Only Career Diplomats can handle the job. Without them, diplomacy can’t happen.
These people DESERVE the jobs they have. It’s not fair to just fire them.  (He forgets that Barry Obama fired ALL of Bush’s ambassadors shortly after taking office).
It takes a trained Career Diplomat to do the job. (forgetting that nearly every president has appointed people he feels can be relied to speak for the President, often acquaintances or respected figures from business)

The final line in this screed:
“We Deserve Better”.  As if being a diplomat somehow makes one special.
And that, right there, is why we need to clean house.
