Remember when a president would stand in front of reporters, treat them with basic respect, thoughtfully answer tough questions, and get through an entire press conference without insulting anyone who dared challenge him? That was President Obama. 1/7

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

Think about it this way, sort of like military terms. This is basically removing listening stations. Ending intelligence gathering. This is like closing NORAD. No sane person or group should do this because it creates a huge void in knowledge and preparation for threats.

If you are considering skipping voting in local elections; let me paint a picture of how important local politics are. Local seats are shaping culture across the South, and often in ways that make us less safe and less educated.
