Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Just when I think the crazy has reached the limit, something new arises. Namely, the article about Fairfax VA school buses and cafeteria workers still on the job (translate to on the public dole).
Of course, why is that a surprise when the multitude of government offices closed still pay all the employees? Anybody asked them their position on Anthropogenic Global Warming, and its relative ranking within terms that reference union employment?
Bird Dog...you are not doing my high blood pressure any good with these links...
Some ANTIFA chapters are taking credit for igniting fires to draw attention to climate change.
https://abruptearthchanges.com/2020/09/12/antifa-admit-to-igniting-fires-all-over-the-country-to-draw-attention-to-climate-change/ This is not a surprise as far too many fires have been erupting without a natural cause. Understand some extreme Muslim groups have also called for torching the forests, but this year's crop seems to be home-grown crazies.
Scientific American's approach really isn't new for them.
This is the same thing done with evolutionary theory (theories). Exactly the same thing. I've read cases where an original observation was recognized to be wrong, completely 180 degrees wrong, and yet somehow it still supported the general theory of evolution. Pretty much unfalsifiable. Science was compromised with the nonsense perceptions put out by Scopes and what people read with Inherit the Wind. Physics did well for several decades, but even that's under assault these days. Re: Trump accidentally making peace between Israel an Arab states
QUOTE: Biden’s main argument was reportedly that Trump had “put Israel in danger,” despite the peace agreements, because he had withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal, and the Iranian regime was enriching uranium. I guess brokering a deal that requires the US to come to the aid of Iran, even if Israel interferes with or attacks Iran, makes Israel safe. I think we should recognize the Obama administration's contribution to peace breaking out all over. By essentially supporting Iran's nuke program, it made the other gulf states, who have no love for Iran and vice versa, feel very vulnerable. How could those gulf states defend themselves? By becoming friends with the country that already has nukes - Israel. As the Arab saying goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Given that the Obama administration had no love for Israel, I think their contribution to the current climate for peace is the real accident. 737: Well, I sure HOPE so, but I'm not planning on flying anywhere.
Pelosi Ditches Science, Blames 'Angry' 'Mother Earth' For California's Wildfires: The STUPID is STRONG in this one. Scientific American Goes Full Anti-Science: Why am I not surprised... VOY! Eh? They're "IN with the IN crowd". SAs for "Climate Change", it's been changing since our planet has had an atmosphere. It's changing as i write! Just...sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly. Fairfax County Is Running Empty School Buses: Time for a REALITY check. AND a citizens' uproar. Andrew Cuomo going off the rails under the stress of NY’s pandemic woes: Stress? I thought he was ignoring it. Minnesota restaurant delays opening, changes name due to “cultural appropriation”: IDJITS!! This guy's SURROUNDED by IDJITS. Academics & scholars are standing up to 'social media mobs' and 'cancel culture': GOOD NEWS. Unexpected. Spines braced!

I'm so old I remember what triggered a Skiddie was finding a Colgate or Hamilton guy in the Johnson Hall typing rooms. Let’s just hope that Cuomo’s indoor-dining turnaround is a sign that he’s found his center again.
Is the New York Post kidding us? Andrew Cuomo never had a center. Most of what is happening is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
What is important is that leftoxenomorphs have most of the organizations in the country well in their pocket. They have been working day in and day out for more than a hundred years (some pose that since 1776) to turn America into a collectivist feudal realm with a nomenklatura to rule us all. Today they have virtually won their struggle. What in the US is -NOT-LEFTOXENOMORPH-? Government? No. Education? No. The MSM? No. Most cultural resources? No. The alphabet agencies? No. The Pentagon? No. Religion? No. Our voting system? No. Our “science”? No. Hollyweird? No. Half the population? No. We are paying taxes so our children can get brainwashed from the cradle onward into leftoxenomorphism. And what about whatever remains that is truly NON LEFTOXENOMORPH? Well . . . let’s be fair . . . pusillanimousness rules the day. Otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation. So no attention to any small detail will make the smallest of differences. Our virtues are being used against us. Our tolerance is being used against us. Our LE is being used against us. Our military will no doubt be part of an attempt against us. Our taxes are being used against us. They bark orders obliterating the Constitution and we go into house arrest and start wearing a stupid mask that is useful to train people in performative wokeness but serves little to protect our health. It is clear as clear can be that there is no health reasons to keep the country under lockdowns. Is anybody listening? Nobody that matters. With the vast majority of those not-leftoxenomorphs unwilling to move a finger in meat space to stem the tide, leftoxenomorphs have already won. I find extremely ironic the pretentious proclamation of a few of “we have the guns and we know how to use them!” Well . . . it’s true . . . but we won’t use them . . . and the leftoxenomorphs have our number. We have failed the 2nd Amendment. If we were going to use them, we should have started using them way before most of the country surrendered and is now in a leftoxenomorph camp under arrest or a willing traitor. Re: the 737 MAX; the aircraft could have been returned to flight months ago. The FAA added a review of whether or not it should allow an aged, but well performing aircraft to continue using legacy, proven, safe, technology.
Regarding "younger" pilots not being able to fly old technology, that's an airline and pilot training issue, not a Boeing issue. (When a friend's son was learning to drive on a new all the safety bells and whistles equipped SUV, I asked if the kid would be qualified to drive my 2005 Honda Pilot, because it doesn't tell you whether or not you're leaving the lane and forces you to use the mirrors.) I'd have flown on the 737 MAX a year ago, and would do so tomorrow. (I am biased...I've liked Boeing since I built my first B-17 model in 1972 or so, and have a daughter working as an engineer there today.) All that said, the implementation of MCAS was terrible and wrong, but that doesn't make the plane today unsafe. Juan Browne has a series of excellent videos explaining, from a pilot's perspective, the entire 737 MAX situation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UvFhIFzaac "Former Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged Thursday that President Donald Trump is making peace between Israel and several Arab states, but he said that he was doing so “accidentally.”"
This is probably another one of Joe Biden's slip-ups, one that reveals that the only time Joe has ever accomplished anything that was noteworthy, was when it was accidental. Re: Fairfax County Is Running Empty School Buses
It doesn't matter if the school buses have children in them or not. It never did. Government employees exist only to serve their own needs; not the needs of the public. Why do you think that we are constantly being harangued to worship government "Heroes"! Remember: Real heroes wear a uniform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OPSb7J3IUk You know, "Front Line Workers" and "First Responders" and "Firemen" and "Police"? Those people are public employees who live on tax money that we pay them. We're not supposed to thank them, they're supposed to thank us. But they present themselves as saviors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDtxj-SNKOc Saviors don't mix with commoners. Those girls can get pregnant without touching a filthy man. Look: we don't even need 80% of our government and unionized employees. Have you ever seen a Fire Station? That's twenty guys who watch T.V. all day. Or a road work project? That's one bulldozer, and twenty guys with a shovel. So forget about the school buses. We should be thankful that our children don't have to go to those concentration camps anyway. The real issue is cutting the number of government employees by 80%. Those Cops and Firemen and Unions, and Therapists, and other "Heroes" are making a fortune, and believe me, they won't give-up their cushy jobs without a fight. https://imgur.com/gallery/Xkkvont |
