On this date, back in 1945, the United states detonated the second ever Atomic Bomb…over Hiroshima, Japan.

Despite the firebombings killing many Japanese people over the preceding months, the allied bombings had not broken the will of the Japanese to make war….

and, of course, the US has spent all that money on the Manhattan Project….

But, either way, on Aug 6th, 1945 the Enola Gay, piloted by Col. Paul Tibbetts, dropped the uranium bomb at 8:15 Am local time.

The bomb detonated approximately 44 seconds later, killing approximately 110,000 people.

Welcome to the atomic age.

“No one is “Too Busy”…it is simply a matter of priorities”

“If you cannot change things, don’t worry about them”

“Every moment you spend living in the past is a wasted moment in the present”

“Not everyone deserves your kindness”

“Many of us have a temple of peace in our hearts, but leave the doors open for storms to enter”

“Walk away from the table if you are being served disrespect”

“Before you invest a great deal of time in someone, ask yourself: Are they investing in you?”

“Forgive others and go forward, or never see them again, nothing in between”

That was trashed during the BLM protestgasm

Bad enough that the first one was pulled down, worse was that the police allowed it to continue to happen.

Even worse was that no one was arrested for vandalism.

But at least one is being put back in it’s place.

I mean, getting to the bottom of the “Russian Collusion” story would be nice and all, but at the end of it, I think that I can speak for most Americans that we’d rather see the Epstein files you are hiding, Pamela.

You can try to distract us with other prosecutions and stories, but at the end of it, we’d really like to see those files that you suddenly claim don’t exist, even though they were used in evidence in Ms Maxwell’s trial, and that several members of Congress blocked the release of a few years ago……..You know, the ones that Patel said needed to be reviewed so that “no innocent victim’s names would be inadvertently released” to the public…..the ones that you said were “On My Desk”. Yeah, those files.

Yes, we’d like to have the folks that were involved with the Russian Collusion Hoax brought to justice as well, but we’d REALLY prefer to see the list of those people who partied with those young women on Epstein’s island….

The fact is that it has nothing to do with the Israelis, but rather that their own people steal most of it before it gets to them. 

If people are really starving (and other data would suggest that there are few people actually  starving in Gaza) if is because their own people are taking the free food that other countries are supplying to them.

And that data is from the UN, so you know that it must be true, because the UN can’t ever help but try and find an anti-Semitic way to make Israel look bad.

The Syrians that live in Gaza are simply turds of the lowest order, each and every one of them. Is it any wonder that no country, not Syria, not Egypt, not Jordan, not even Saudi Arabia want’s to let them come into their country.

16,000 ft at 210 knots. Not too fast, but fast enough

It was bad even at 15,000 feet:

Haze and smoke made everything indistinct. Like IMC only sorta not….The camera makes it look better than it was to the naked eye. For most of the trip I had only intermittent contact with the ground.

On the climb out

about 14,000 feet

One wonder where the EPA is on this? Gotta be a violation or something….

Sad, and angering, but funny, nonetheless….

Stolen form Ms. Misfit

Radioactive wasps go missing from nuclear site in South Carolina…..

The question I have is where is the exposed contamination such that the wasps can get contaminated material to build a nest?

From either Uber or Lyft, whereas I CAN request a female driver (and we all know about women drivers, amirite?)

Is that not discrimination? Both for the Male drivers as well as for myself?

Asking for a friend and all that…..
