I didn’t know there were any in the area. Was a bit north of the intersection of US 41 and US 30 in NW Indiana on Saturday and, while waiting at a stoplight, I watched a Bald Eagle fly circles over the marsh to the east of US 41.

I was unaware that there were any Bald Eagles in the area.

Perhaps the DDT issues have helped make a comeback? I dunno

I grew up about 20 miles to the east of there, and this is the first time I have ever seen a Bald Eagle in NW Indiana. And I am over 50 years old.

“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,”

Ok,, sister, then lets open the ball:
Here are some of the things YOUR party stands for that I find objectionable.

Statism over individualism.


Ever increasing restrictions on rights, rather than freedom.


More and more groups gaining privileged status over the mainstream.


Sociologist government policies.


Ever increasing governmental agencies, who set rules and regulations with no legislative oversight. 


Increasing dependence on government paid for by the productive people in this country.


More and more “Social Safety Nets” paid for with taxes, instead of those taxes going to infrastructure, and military as is Constitutional.  


Less and less attention paid to our Constitution and to the restrictions it imposes upon Government. 


Entire government agencies which don’t produce anything. 


Tax and monetary policies which punish success and hard work, encourage failure and laziness, reward stupidity and penalize intelligence.


An ever increasing percentage of urban dwellers(encouraged by your party and their policies) who produce nothing, but whose very existence is paid for by my side’s work. 


Ever increasing ILLEGAL immigration.


More and more (and more blatant) voter fraud. 

Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

I can make a longer list of “things I stand for, things I care about” that your philosophy and your party condone …that I find offensive and objectionable. But so far, at least, MY side has retained “civility” about our disagreements.

Wanna lose “Civility”? We can go there. You won’t like it. So far it has been the Ballot Box rather than the Ammo Box. …..But that can change if Civility is gonna go away.
How “uncivil” do y’all wanna get? Y’all wanna destroy that which I stand for and care  about…can I get all Uncivil too?

Do you really want the gloves to come off? The only thing keeping you and yours alive and fed and housed and/or out of prison is “Civility” and the rule of law. Take that protection away and you won’t like how it ends.

We have hard working people with a work ethic, who are well able to take care of themselves….who can think for themselves, are intelligent and skilled…who simply buckle down and move forward when life gets tough…..who plan ahead….Who are polite and decent and law abiding and moral.
 You have a bunch of  spoiled lazy people who can’t figure out which bathroom to use and have to be led to get them to do anything and who weep and demand help when life gets difficult…who can’t really DO anything…and have the attention span of a chipmunk and the intelligence of asparagus…..and who can’t think ahead farther than their next meal….who are rude and already uncivil and who don’t generally follow laws of society.
Which side do ya think will win if we get rid of “civility”?

So do you REALLY want to get rid of “Civility”? So far, that’ “civility” is what’s keeping you and yours safe.

Seems to be popping up in larger cities.

It started, apparently, in Minneapolis. Which took in HUGE numbers of Somalis and other Eastern Africans.

And, oddly, the disease is MUCH more common in East Africa than anywhere else. (still rare, but MUCH less so).

Now, correlation is not causation. Be aware of that. But still, it is likely that the vector for the disease is the population that has moved from a location where it is more common to a place where it is rare….almost unheard of. It could be Global Warming, or Bush’s fault, but I doubt it….

And it seems to be appearing in many “sanctuary cities” as well. Might just be the larger number of immigrants, might just be statistical noise.

But I doubt that the reason why matters to those children who are US citizens who are now in Iron Lungs or under care to relearn how to move their limbs. I doubt that they care that the DNC got to feel good by resettling a bunch of Somalis in places where they would not assimilate.

Hope and Change, ya know.  I bet little Suzy Whitebread who caught it at school will be in favor of immigration when she grows up…If she lives.

If the Republicans can band together to confirm Kavanaugh, WHY CAN’T THEY GET TOGETHER AND REPEAL OBAMACARE??

Because the Insurance companies have bought and paid for some of our finest politicians I’m not sure why they can’t do it….

It is happening

I expect that women are gonna next complain that this isn’t fair either….that the relationships and deals that are made outside of the formal office environment, and the mentoring that occurs after hours that they will lose out on are valuable parts of business and that they are being treated unfairly by being excluded…

But if I were still in business, I’d never be anywhere with a woman that was not my wife or girlfriend for fear of being accused….and found guilty simply because “she said so and women deserve to be believed” or whatever the current catchphrase of the feminists is.

Mike Pence won’t do dinner or anything else with a woman…unless his wife is with him…..He looks smarter now than a few months ago, doesn’t he? 

Needed to clear my head, so since there was an hour where there was a rental plane available, I chose to do some pattern work. I hadn’t flown since 9/27 either. when one is new at this game, it is easy to get rusty

Wind was varying 180 to 210, 12 gusting 20. No one in the pattern when I started.

Taxiied out and did the run up at the threshold of 18, took off, entered the pattern and did a crosswind landing on 18. Not my best one, but adequate.

Later, rinse, repeat. 5 times.

By then the pattern was full of airplanes,  spaced almost too close for my comfort. Planes arriving every minute or so. Congested for an uncontrolled airport. Plus there were 6 planes stacked up waiting for departure and complaining that no one would let them out. I landed and taxiied out to the end of 18 and parked the plane back at the flight school.

0.7 and 5.

And focusing on the pattern procedures and the landings cleared my head tremendously.

I really need my own aircraft though. 

What leverage was used to push her out?

Nikki Haley Reigns as US Ambassador to the United Nations.

I liked this lady. She kicked ass. Made the rest of the UN pantywaists realize that there was a “new sheriff in town” and the US wasn’t gonna be pushed around like it was during Barry’s terms. She was making changes in the UN’s mismanaged and shortsighted profit centers programs that wasted money too.

If our justice system was as good as it should be, ALL of our judges, Liberal or Conservative, male or female, religious or agnostic, Muslim, Christian, Jewish….Catholic or Protestant….Wiccan or Bhuddist, would be interchangeable.

It really shouldn’t matter…..

Because our justices, Circuit or Supreme (or any of the lower courts) would adjudicate from the letter of the LAW, not from their beliefs.

No Liberal (or, to a much lesser, but still there, and still wrong) or Conservative or religious biases…no “Legislation from the Bench”.

No human is perfect. None of us can be entirely objective. But if a judge at that level cannot be impartial, and set aside his or her feelings and judge cases based upon LAW, and the Constitution, then they should not be a judge at all …especially at that level.

In fact, if our justice system had decent judges, we should be able to take any Federal Circuit Court judge’s name and any Court of Appeals judge’s name and put them in a hat and pick one…..and get a decent judge that was qualified for the Supreme level.

Sadly, we don’t have that.

We have political animals, and biased judges and those who Legislate from the Bench….and who play politics.
And those judges are failing in their oaths.
