Who has heard about Lewiston Idaho?



Me neither. A seaport in Idaho? Whoda thunk?









Why Flight 3 didn't go according to plan

Won't be writing that it was a failure. If it can get to orbit, and then go into the drink about where it was supposed to, then it is as successful as any other flight.

But it is counted as a mishap, but then it may not be counted as a mishap that was a public safety issue. Hence, the mishap report may not be a hindrance to flight operations, and Flight 4 can be flown after all.

Not all of this was on the video. So, excuuuuuuuuse ME.









Biden must think everyone is dumb as he is



Laughable. This has to be hurting the Democrats, otherwise why say it? In a related matter, only a few Democrats voted for a bill that would have prohibited illegals from voting in DC. So, does that mean that they are even worried about losing DC? That would be something if they did lose DC.

There's no controversy here, just a desperation for the appearance of such



"Controversial" flag flew over San Fran Nan's district. Big to-do about nothing. What else could explain their actions, except extreme desperation?







New Joisey politician forced to resign



Called her constitutents some really bad names. Was the namecalling justified? Only if you say what most people already think. That's what politics is all about. Politics is mostly an art involving a ton of bullshit. Fed in the proper proportions, it can be quite profitable. This gal doesn't have that quality, obviously.

Dems are in trouble and they know it







I'm going to fire off something quick, and maybe ill-considered. But I'm going to run with the thought anyway, because it is hot, and I might forget about it.

The thought is that the left has gone full tribal mode. Nothing matters to them except the tribe. Whatever they say they believe doesn't matter, if saying it hurts the tribe, they'll say otherwise. Even if they don't believe it, but saying it helps the tribe, then they'll say it. The truth doesn't matter. You cannot take them at face value. It's the tribe that matters. This colors their every utterance. It provides the motivation for every act.

Arguing against THAT is a complete waste of time. You'll never change their minds, because that's not the argument. The argument is their tribe. If you are against the tribe, you are the enemy who must be destroyed. What they're doing to Trump is what they did to the Bushes. They'd have done it to Reagan if they could've. They did get Nixon, though.

When it comes to Biden, if dropping him like a hot potato helps them, they will. If they believe hanging on to him helps them, they will. Therefore, none of the truth about Biden matters, it is how he helps or hurts the tribe. If Biden is bad for them personally, it might not matter. That's because the tribe matters more. Therefore, they find it hard to understand why some people may be leaving their tribe.

I think they are in trouble with some of their former members and know it. That's why they are so much in favor of illegal immigration. They see that as helping their tribe. If it hurt their tribe more than it helped, they'd change their tune on it. It isn't about what this is doing to the country, because the tribe is more important than the rest of the country. The tribe comes first.

It's all about the tribe. You can tell if something is hurting their tribe by watching them closely and reading between the lines. If you look at the news about what's on The View, you can see that they are worried about the black vote. They are losing these members of the tribe, and they are reaching out to leaders in that part of the tribe, looking for help with those who are dropping out. They need Charlemagne, so they look for his help. Reading between the lines, Charlamange doesn't give them everything they want. If he did, Charlamagne may lose some of HIS people. So he straddles the fence a little. That means trouble in the tribe. Same with Bill Maher. But Maher acts pretty much the same. Maher cannot go full tribal, or he loses everybody but the crazies.

They have to support the phony trials. The crazies demand it, or they'd lose the crazies. All they have left are the crazies and a lot of reluctant co-religionaries. There's trouble in paradise. You can sense it if you look carefully enough. Without a solid basis of sanity, the crazies are running the show. The crazies care nothing for the rest, just their fellow crazies. The leftover sanity squad is scared shitless of the crazies. They should leave, but can't. If anybody leaves, the whole mess implodes.





Braxman video -- client-side scanning



Client-side scanning is a thing.



Is Apple doing it? I'd say hell yeah, they're doing it. They wouldn't be putting all that capability into doing, and then not doing it. Plus, they've been doing all the other things.

This is so lame that a pair of crutches can't hold it up. Look in the mirror, meatball.











Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?



5/22/24:

Most are worse off than last year, according to Fed Report.







5/21/24:

From the looks of this chart, the answer would appear to be NO. Maybe even HELL NO.

Reminds me of a running joke around here

5/21/24:


Two weeks! How about that. Musta fixed the clock.






5/15/24:

Whenever Number One has a project going, you can predict the completion date is "two weeks", and get a laugh. It's a joke. Two weeks can drag out a long time. Maybe two months, or even two years. Whenever I see Musk claiming it is going to take six weeks, I am reminded of that joke. Musk said six weeks over two months ago. It's still six weeks. I guess the clock is broken.

Near rectilinear halo orbit explained

It would be easy to be overwhelmed here... But knowing no better, I am wondering if it were possible to park any number of large space stations in such an orbit. They could stay in this orbit until it is time for them to depart. You could accumulate a large number of passengers for their trip to Mars, and send them onward when it is time.

Just a thought. What could go wrong. Probably a lot, but it seems like an interesting idea at the moment.







Bad boy or hero?

Whatever the Establishment says, you can pretty much take with a grain of salt.

Know what I mean, Vern?







How does anyone explain liberal Jews?

How does anyone explain liberal Jews?: Many books have been written about why an intelligent and accomplished people have ignored reality and remained loyal to the Democrat party.

I have consistently acknowledged there are many plausible reasons. 

However, the one I consistentl...



Comment:

As someone mentioned in the comment section, there was a sly dig at Trump. Why do that??? Maybe it is obligatory amongst the left. Even when they are wrong, they cannot help themselves. Anyway...

Once again, Biden has made terrorists and their sympathizers a protected group. He has done this because they have threatened to boycott him in the coming election. This boycott threat, from the Hamas sympathizers, is a credible threat to Biden. While Biden is doing this, he is throwing Israel under the bus. He is counting on Jews to keep voting for him despite doing this unfriendly act. Now he withholding weapons from Israel even though he is legally obligated to provide them.

How do you explain liberal Jews? You cannot! If somebody won't come to your aid when you are being attacked, that is not a sign of friendship. What can possibly blind someone to THAT???





The world doesn't revolve around liberals, or liberalism



So an NFL player talks about his beliefs, and expresses his opinions. The NFL brass has a cow. Well, buh bye NFL. I can do without ya'll.
