Some Musings....And a Little Rant(Addendum)

 

A couple of weeks ago Southwest Airlines (SWA) network crashed, unlike other carriers that use a hub system to feed their network, Southwest is a point to point carrier and  and their planes fly back from airport to airport whereas other carriers use a hub system to move passengers from point A to point B.  The other carriers even the "ULCC" upgraded their computer system but Southwest didn't do that, their computer system was much older than the other carriers and rather than spend any money to upgrade like the other carriers, they spent the money on other things.  Well that failure to upgrade bit them in the posterior...big time.  Their network crashed leaving passengers stranded all over the United States and also leaving crews with no schedules and no overnight lodging either.  Yep it was bad, any goodwell Southwest had got torched in a spectacular fashion.  I work for a competitor, and I felt bad for them, I hated seeing this happen, even to the Media Darlings of the Airline industry.  I remember my time at Ford Motor company and the "Firestone Debacle" and that hurt the Ford brand for a generation.

And a "Hold My Beer" moment came from our friends the FAA, you know....the "Friends Against Aviation", their computer network crashed....but it was a bit different for the FAA, what crashed was the "NOTAM" system, it basically tells pilots of any hazards on their routes, well that network crashed...

Well Compared to the Southwest Network, the FAA Network is positively antiquated,  it was the same one they were using in the 1990's, I think I heard the

 

9600 BAUD and ITP Handshake initiate when you tried to access the server.  Apparently updating the computers was less of a priority for the FAA than Southwest, but they had other priorities in mind than the computers...they had time to change the name of the NOTAM system from "Notice to Airmen" to "Notice to Air Mission"...Didn't want to Misidentify someone ya know...might "offend" someone you know...Make them cry......or something.

Its nice to see the government have their priorities in order.......

Meanwhile Xiden got busted leaving classified documents in the garage with his corvette when he was a Vice President,   The Donks and Media are saying that he could that because he was the VEEP. it was ok ..and they tried to pull a sleight of hand and notify the National Archives instead of the FBI.  Funny somehow this was different than President Trump and Mar-e-Lago.  I recall from my time in the Army and dealing with classified documents is that the President has ultimate declassification authority, not the VEEP, but to the Donks and the Media and to the weaponized DOJ, it is "OK".  And funny that Xiden's handlers tried to notify the National Archives instead of the FBI or the DOJ, ...

 

you mean the same DOJ and FBI that seems to have 2 different standards...They seem to be half assed on 'Antifa'' and "BLM"  whom are the foot soldiers of the Modern Left and the Deep State, they share the same ideology and beliefs, the Government hires the same people that tends to support those organizations.  I believe that this is a feature, not a bug.  Compare this with the zeal in which the DOJ has pursued the January 6th protestors.  This shows that there is a 2 stage justice system in this country and if you are related to the deep state or support their goals, they will refuse to prosecute or softsoap it whereas if you are a supporters of the traditional forms of American Government, the American justice system will be more vigorous in their treatment of you than if you are a communist.   Funny that...The double standard is applied if you and I who had handled classified documents, we would be making gravel for the Colonels driveway at "Leavenworth" but the *PIAP and other denizens of the deep state get a hard pass when they violate security regulations...Just ask Sandy Berger when he tried to swipe documents from the Archives, and they did nothing.

   As far as affecting the dottering meat puppet Xiden and his handlers aspiration of a 2024 Presidential run, this remains to be seen if they will provide cover again through the media, Tech and pad the ballot boxes....again....or if they decide they want "Kneepad" Harris to replace him.  

     All I know that the 2024 election will be very interesting....in a train wreck sort of way. 

Meanwhile Xiden finally went to the border to check it out and he went to the part of the border that actually had a wall on it....but the irony was totally missed by the Xiden administration and the swarm of illegals continue to cross the border and New York Mayor Adams after bloviating about" all people Welcome"  and mentioning other buzzwords that are used by the modern left because they traffic in "feelinzs"

  So when the Texas Governor Abbott calls him on his bluff and starts sending busloads of illegals to New York City and other Liberal enclaves and basically tells them "You like them, you deal with them, Texas is tired of paying for the cost of the failed policies of Xiden and everyone else that love the illegals except in their backyard."

Meanwhile the Congress passed this huge pork laden boondoggle during the lame duck session as a last "Fuck You" to the American Taxpayer, 4600 pages of pork laden crap that they didn't even read, and billions for the Ukraine but no real money for our own border....Funny that.  And it basically puts the onus and debt on the new generation and what makes it worse is that..

18 GOP Senators voted with the Donks for that huge debt turd, they are more concerned about playing nice, more concerned about getting some of that deep state pork for themselves and currying favor, with such sellouts as these clowns, it gave the donks political cover that they can and will push off on the GOP on the next election cycle.......Assholes.

Meanwhile with the GOP taking over the house, they are promising a lot of investigations and hearings in the weaponization of the FBI, the clowns in the kangaroo Court of the J6 Hearings and other Donk overreachs including the use of the Tech giants to bury politically sensitive and embarrassing information on the Xiden Crime Syndicate like the laptop and the weapon purchases by Xidens son when he lied on his form 4473 that were "buried" that if we did it, we would have been hauled in front of a judge.

   The January 6 hearing despite spending millions of dollars, and releasing President Trumps Tax records, and the SSN of a bunch of GOPers....Haven't accomplished much of anything else...I will adopt a wait and see attitude if the GOP hearings uncover anything...but I ain't gonna hold my breath.

There is a movement in the Xiden Administration to ban your Gas stove...And go Electric. They are citing "Climate Change" as the reason....Same reason they are pushing those insipid electric cars on the American Public.  There is more to the story in my opinion..

..If they want to control you, all they have to do is cut the power.  Harder to do with Gas.  Something to think about......Its all about control, to put us "Kulaks"in our place.

 

And Finally You have noticed that all these healthy people are keeling over with heart "issues" and the "Experts" are dancing around the 800 pound guerilla in the room and coming up with all these funny reasons why all these people are dying. Pulling all these excuses out of their posteriors, everything from "Climate Change" to "Gas Stoves" to "Excessive Meat Consumption"..and other reasons that happen to fit in the pidgeonholes of stuff that the Modern Left wants banned...Funny that... they refuse to mention that all these healthy people have been VAXXED,      Nothing to see here....Move along ...Move along...Trust the Experts....The Same Experts that insisted that "Everyone HAD to get VAXXED or Lose their Jobs"

      Remember back in 2021 and 2022,"Get Jabbed or Else"   Now they won't discuss the 800 pound Simian in the room, it has been a huuuge money maker for Big Pharma, and a lot of congresscritter have stock in it as does Dr Death(Fauci).
