The first flight from Pasco takes off at 5:30 a.m. and lands in Elko after 6 hours with a cargo of souvenirs, including Idaho potatoes. The pilot making the first flight from Elko runs out of fuel over Oregon, lands safely on a muddy field and borrows a horse to ride 65 miles for assistance. 2/2

Trump Tweet from 2013

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

Picking up a P2S for the office Tuesday! I've avoided 3D printing because it's seemed so finicky (and other folks would take care of it for me 😅). I haven't been paying much attention in the meantime, but I was a definitely shocked by the seeming plug & play quality you can get for ~600 USD

I'm seeing a lot of "Donald Trump is crazy." "He has lost it." That is comforting. I'm not sure it's true. The more difficult thing to contemplate is: He has views. He has ambitions. He is on a side, in the general world struggle. And he has no end of followers and defenders.

On Nov. 28, a Russian attack lasting more than 10 hours struck Ukrainian cities, with Kyiv as the main target. The Kyiv Independent’s Nick Allard and Tania Myronyshena spent the night with a Kyiv family sheltering in a parking garage with their three children.

#FlashbackFriday Ok online detectives, we need your help. A visitor recently passed on these images of the Endeavour replica taken by her father. We think the photos were taken in NZ in 1996, but we are not sure which port. Can anyone help identify the location or share memories from that voyage?

Part of the hysteria issue is that some amount of these drone sightings are just commercial aircraft. Still have to treat sightings seriously obviously. Hopefully authorities will get better at discriminating as time goes on.

Innen IT har vi begrepet "teknisk gjeld" som beskriver kostnadene ved underinvestering i vedlikehold, god praksis og fornyelse. Jeg synes også vi kan snakke om "politisk gjeld", kostnadene et samfunn etterhvert bærer fordi vi har redusert mediehusene fra institusjoner til "innholdsprodusenter".

Friends, I am very sorry to report that the Circuit Court in the CASA v Noem case has lifted the stay. No more TPS for the Afghans in America. Mass deportations may be imminent.

Have to share this incredible snippet from "The Hunt For Tom Clancy" substack
"A Secret Service agent on Vice-President Cheney’s security detail told me that plot points from Tom Clancy books would occasionally wind up inspiring real-life programs. The Vice-President was a Clancy fan. A former CIA operations officer told me he’d heard a rumor that modern America's clean-cut blonde warlord, Eric Prince, paid Tom Clancy’s ghostwriter bonuses to insert plot points that matched capabilities in Blackwater’s corporate structure. 

The theory was, when the Vice-President would read the books and ask if the CIA or military could match a Clancy concept, the denizens of 7th floor of CIA and the E ring of the Pentagon would say no, which meant Eric Prince could say yes. Whether the story is true, which I believe it to be, is almost beyond the point: the story is out there among people in the circles Clancy wrote about, shouting Clancy’s relevance back at the world."

Can't fault that reasoning! I didn't have high hopes but was pleasantly surprised (though it's not as good as the original). A lot of it was centered around Ukraine instead of North Africa - and I'm so curious if they will address the intelligence sharing pause / lack of U.S. support in season 2.

The US record on protecting Afghans who helped our military in that war has been pretty weak to begin with, but now we are deporting them to a very credible risk of death. Why would any other allies on the ground work with the US military in the future?

Like, I realize the media is in the midst of talking about the 'failure' to talk about how old Biden was, a thing every voter seems to have known about by the time he dropped out. But maybe we should talk about the failure to inform voters on what Trump's actual promised policies would be?

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.
