    Translation: "Air Force fan website says brit private pilots make image of Queen, which is better than US Navy cock and balls."

    And in semi-related news - airforcetimes is clearly hitting on all cylinders today, with this headline, "5 military movies that would be better with Velociraptors."  Not sure if that's a good thing or not (might be).

  2. Yep, it sure seems like Ferrari has shot themselves in both feet at this point.  The championship is out for them, they can only hope to beat Merc.  Is there a trend here?

    The videos are entertaining and certainly speak to the kind of person Hunter is, but to me, that's not the big revelation of the devices.

    The big revelation is that Hunter believes his dad is a pedophile, supported by what Biden's daughter has asserted about inappropriate showers when she was growing up. 

    And there is the concerning part about "10% for the big guy" from foreign governments at a time when Biden was VP.

    I also now question the motives of the 50+ "intelligence experts" who signed a letter saying the laptop was a hoax. Can those people still be trusted with national security if they are willing to lie for political favors? 

    In the end, whether Hunter's behavior should reflect on Biden or not is irrelevant... what we should be concerned about is that the national intelligence apparatus and the news media did everything in their power to tilt an election.  

    Yup, you just have to spend .02 seconds thinking about why we don't give clearances to people like this.

    Might be a stretch, but I’m wondering if this might be a second hand effect of the George Floyd riots, defund the police etc.  Could be..it’s tough to find quality recruits, who would want to be a cop in the current environment? It could be that Uvalde is mostly a minority town and the cops are more afraid of an incident landing them on national news (no excuse not to go defend children).  This is what happens when we have built a generation of cowards and sissies. God help us if we ever actually go to war, and not the BS kind we had in Afghanistan. 

    Maybe not that big a stretch, I was thinking this myself.

    I think what we see in the video speaks volumes about lack of training and leadership.  They have no idea what to do, and the person-in-charge doesn't know what to do either (or is a straight-up coward).  

    Why is that police chief still there, they should run him out of town on a rail.

    No it doesn’t, people get upset when you point out the obvious that the handlers behind the scenes are really running the country.

    As for the train wreck and lack of competence, it seems lately that more on the left are more concerned with optics (intersectionality, social justice and identity politics) than anything…so much so that competence and meritocracy be damned.  
     

    How do CNN, MSNBC etc portray these two? Do they hide the gaffes and missteps (yes). That’s all that matters. 

     

     
    Top list shows what folks care about, bottom list shows what the media is focusing on.  All to create drama and views folks...

  6. So my post, from so long ago (previous page) in referring to another Covid variant, was not that Democrats would release the new variant, but that one would magically appear - which is the way some of these things seem to happen.  It was also driven by POTUS, who said there would be another one (22 June).  We'll just have to be prepared:

    So, I'm cheap, I'll throw down $5. that a new one will appear after the elections.  Do you want me to guess the exact date (I won't be able to, but what the hay).

    What a finish

    Zhou's incident was pretty scary for me.  Like most of us, I watched his car in the initial shot, inverted and scudding across the gravel.  I was very surprised his car didn't lose more energy than it did.  Glad all are okay.

    Pretty much a universal quick release/jettison button. I wonder if anyone ever tried this maneuver during a bear attack - and survived.

     

    OMG! - is that what one does when they attack?

    Since all the talk of porpoising began I've been meaning to draw a porpoise f1. Here's the merc

    Is that #44 or #63, or both?

    George does seem to be doing okay with it.  On the other hand, there's Lewis' spine (due to the water mammal).

    <snip>Turns out when you have a shit ton of men in a population without a sexual partner, they tend to get restless and express their frustrations other ways. 

    Yeah, they were frustrated enough to go looking for the Monkey Pox.
