The stupidity of the Trump Administration is going to kill us all.
Swear to God, if Putin isn’t paying him, he should be. And no country benefits more from these 2 despots than China — if they’ll stay at peace.
I say again, why doesn’t somebody rewrite it?
“The report argues that these barriers stem from the 1901 Alabama Constitution, drafted explicitly to disenfranchise Black voters during the rise of Jim Crow.”
I don’t care if it takes 50 years. Get started.
Australia has reached an agreement, valued at up to $10 billion, to purchase 11 Japanese-built frigates, underscoring growing defense ties amid concerns about China's military expansion.
From Stars and Stripes' Seth Robson and Hana Kusumoto:
Okay video generation. I posted this from the newspaper but the @nytimes.com is trying to reach you too.
Trump won't last forever. Even his minions will fall to time.
You need to fix things. And to do that, you need to know what went wrong. Yes, that includes the Supreme Court.
That's going to leave a mark.
Now, with everybody in power in Israel apologizing, you still have to wonder how this came about. Was Jesus hanging on a cross at a bomb-making factory? Was there a sniper in the steeple?
How, exactly, do you get photographed smashing a religious icon?
Ok, I have to quit. Ever seen so many new cowboy hats? Ever heard of Fendt? (They're German) Tractor Supply made the shot. Farmers don't wear a lot of cowboy hats. Ranchers do. (At least the one on the left looks like it's been used.
One more thing in the remarks.
Hmmm....
It isn't F11 (zoom in). Even if the caption says "F11". It's FII (Eff Eye Eye). It's Saudi money -- "Davos in Miami".
Intentional? Or incompetence?
Which one is worse?
Truly impressive heels. You see the picture on the wall, right?
The most powerful country in the world.
It's amazing what you can learn from a picture. (If you really look.)
It's a $100 bill. I bet you can read body language better than I can. "DoorDash Grandma" pretty much sums up greed doesn't it?
Just to make you *look*: Polka dot tie, cuff links, tattoo, Reagan, microphone, manicure.
We apologize. This is our fault. We will implement measures to make sure it doesn't happen again. We will recommit ourselves to being a trustworthy neighbor.
Hope, springs eternal.
...it looks like churn.
And I think the "peasants" have figured it out. I sense a reckoning is coming. The "torches and pitchforks". I pray not.
I hope everybody goes out and votes for Democrats, Trump is impeached and the rule of law takes its place -- front and center. We mend fences.
...he is on the front page of the @nytimes.com. (And don't kid yourself, the NYTimes is making money on it.)
Speaking of which...what's with the markets? I didn't believe the Straight of Hormuz was open, why did "they"? Or did it matter?
Is Wall Street making money on profits or churn? To me..
I heard someone this week (on a podcast) talk about how "profound" the changes Joe Biden was able to accomplish through Congress. ARPA, IRA, CHIPS.
He never made the news unless it was the Republicans that put him there.
Yet Trump *has* to be in the news or he'll do something to make sure...
Do you ever stop to think how often "Joe Biden" was (not) trending on Bluesky?
...10-post answer. I don't know how to be concise.)
Here. Enjoy a song while I go get a refill.
(Rodeo and airplanes in one line. With some truth thrown in.)
...if my wife didn't throw them away. Oh, PVD (the radar scope) was a Plan View Display. After a while in the Government, you stop asking "why" and just accept that you'll never be able to understand everything.
Anyway, where were we? (Never, ever ask me an ATC question unless you want a....)
...decided to put a hold on things and we had to wait a few months to get promoted. (Nice try whoever it was. But we still wound up working by ourselves too often. We just didn't get the money for doing it.)
I think this is the only PVD picture on the internet. I think I have some on slides...
...far behind the power curve the FAA was at the time. I got hired in November of 1981. 3 months at the Academy (in OKC), more training at ZTL (Atlanta Center) and 2 years and 2 days later I was ready to check out as a Full Performance Level controller. But somebody (wiser that a 25 year-old...)
...whatever the heck this is. It was supposed to take 4-5 years. I (and the others that were with me) did it in about 2 1/2 years. (It's take 10 posts to explain that "about".) I don't know if that's worth a PhD, a "Professional" or "None".
I had to take a "front & back" just to show you how...
I really shouldn't mark up stuff like this....with the things that catch my eye. (Nerds are outnumbered.) I'm sure the people I reach are capable of noticing stuff for themselves.
Call it a character flaw.
BTW, for the record, I only have a B.S. (that I've never used). Well unless you count...
I found an interesting site today, just in case you might be a nerd. (Hey! That sounds like a Foxworthy joke. "You might might a nerd...if you think a statistical atlas is interesting.)

Is it still #WildflowerHour?

You’ve been warned.
(I think I need to pull out the good camera. I mean, the martini never changes, right?)
Putin’s best ROI - Donald Trump.
"Insurmountable damage has been and continues to be done."
I learned of @kschake.bsky.social on Deep State Radio. As you might imagine, her conservative politics and employment at the American Enterprise Institute did not endear her to me. But her unfailing optimism and brilliant mind did.
Read.
24° colder than yesterday morning.
It finally rained yesterday. 11 or 12 days since any measurable rain.
“April showers bring May flowers.”
We’ll have to come up with new sayings for Global Warming.
This is BIG (I think). I'm not a SCOTUS follower but I'm pretty sure this is BIG.
I've got hours of work to do so I won't get to it until tomorrow (at the earliest) but if it's behind the paywall search for somebody that has a gift link. (I'm running low.)
