Because it is folks like this, and the politicians who listen to them and/or think like them, that we need to protect ourselves AND our Country from.

They won’t enforce laws on Drugs, as she says, (and especially not on Illegal Immigration) but sure as hell, there are folks who think it is OK to turn you into a serf for the fact that you wish to be free. Who would, with the stroke of a pen, turn you into a criminal simply for exercising your Constitutional right. Who would villify you and imprison you because they blame the object, rather than the wielder….And who would ignore the failures of society and the minions servants of society  to protect itself and it’s members even using existing laws. Who would remove your freedoms and the freedoms of all because some individual cannot abide by the laws the rest of us respect.

By her logic, we should remove all alcohol because some folks abuse it, remove all automobiles because some are not responsible enough to use them properly…And, especially, because we disagree with her views.

I think she would be better served in going to Australia or western Europe, where the State (composed of people like her) tells the rest of the serfs how to live. … And the Serfs, having no other choice,, are compliant after many years of social engineering.

How quickly they change the object of their Ire….

I remember when the AK-47 was the terrible “Assault Rifle” thing that needed to be banned. It was the one that had the “thing that goes up” and all the bad features that defined an “Assault Weapon”(whatever that was). You could shoot tens of thousands of people with one magazine, and IIRC, it even MADE people into killers, just by holding it.

Now, it would seem, AR- series of rifles is the new “Bad ” rifle, and AK is ok, at least for now. At least the press isn’t focusing on it….Yet.

Odd, that. I thought the Blue Line, while thin, had SOME limits as to how far they would go to cover up misdeeds….. Yet these cops are still working, and not dismissed for cause, nor hounded out of the force by their other officers.

Remember, COPS WANT RESPECT. Yet they allow guys like these to sully the uniform they all wear, and tarnish that badge….

Make no mistake, there are a LOT of good, honest officers out there who make a difference every day in their communities.
The problem is they don’t clean their house, and they suffer from failing to do so. 

Temps in the low 50’s wind 075 at 8.

10 landings.

Practiced short field landings and soft field takeoffs. Got the takeoffs down, the short field landings I will work on again real soon.

At one point there were 9 aircraft in the pattern all practicing landings. Got kinda crowded there.

Twas a good way to start the day.

Seems that they are looking at pardoning Kristian Saucier after denying him one earlier.

The Department of Justice is taking a new look at a former U.S. Navy sailor’s request for a pardon following his release from jail for taking photos of classified areas inside a nuclear submarine, his attorney said.
The letter, from the DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney, comes less than a year after the former sailor, Kristian Saucier, received a letter rejecting his pardon request on the grounds that it did not meet several criteria, including waiting five years.

I mean, really, it isn’t like he didn’t do it, but at the end of the day, a candidate for the office of the President of the United States was NOT prosecuted for even more egregious mishandling of “Confidential” or higher classified material and information….primarily because she was a Democrat…

(I really think both are guilty, and both should do the punishment, but if not for one, then not for all, or vice versa). No Selective Prosecution.  

yep, since 1816, there have been restrictions on alcohol sales on Sunday.  Mostly meaning “None”.

This, of course, didn’t stop people drinking on Sunday, we just had to plan ahead. Some folks couldn’t, and got caught out though.

At he end of the day, the Liquor Lobby won out over the Church lobby.

Although they can’t sell until after noon. The church thinks it will restrict competition for their services or something…

As always, follow the money.

Part of me still thinks that this Hogg kid is a Crisis Actor though. He’s just too articulate and too composed for an 18 year old. 

He’s right.

“I believe we have now reached a crossroads where it is imperative that a woman-led board acquire control of the company and create content that continues to inspire audiences around the world, especially our young girls and boys,” Contreras-Sweet said in the letter.

So it is OK to state that the “New” company will have a woman led board of directors, the majority of which MUST be women.

Isn’t that discrimination by gender? If discrimination is bad, then it is bad. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination. And announcing that one plans to discriminate would seem to me to be a conspiracy to do so….

How about folks who are neither “standard” or “Biological” gender???? Will there be an appropriate number of trans individuals on the board??

Apparently these sections are somewhat rare today.

20 feet per section. Must have taken forever to do an actual wire run of any distance.
