Interesting Few Days

First off, for those that don't know, I am a chemtrail Technician at a major carrier, I will not mention which one, I kinda like the anonymity if y'all know what I mean, I kinda like my job and don't want to get fired.   Well there have been flight cancellations..

       We have been working a lot of overtime to keep our airplanes in the air, if a plane is grounded for maintenance reasons, it is because there is something unsafe either with the plane, or something with the passenger emergency equipment.  There are a few hard and fast things that will ground a plane, we take our job seriously to give the carrier and the flying public as safe a plane as we can make it.  That being said, there have been a lot of cancellations, some have been to maintenance, but a lot of them have been to staffing shortages, from the pilots on down.  To get a pilots or as we call them "The Skyking" rating in a first world airline and nation is not easy, and it isn't supposed to be, the responsibility that a pilot has is daunting.  That being said, a lot of older pilots did take a "Package" during covid and retired, that took a lot of experience out of the system.  This effect also went for others like Ground Support and Maintenance, we lost a lot of experience that retired and walked out of the doors.  There was already a looming shortfall before Covid hit, statistically speaking where I work at, 1 out of 3 maintenance personnel were eligible to retire in the next five years, and we know this was coming so we had already been working with the various tech schools in the area to replace people.  But it takes an average of 5 years to get someone spooled up to our processes and how we do things and commercial aviation is a lot different than General Aviation, which the schools focus more on.  It also didn't help that certain airlines fired their personnel that refused to get the Vaxx due to the "Vaxx Mandates".  And the .gov fired employees that refused to get the Vaxx, I was talking to one of the TSA guys that I talk to when I do my Honor Guard missions and he had told me that 40% of the TSA refused to get the VAXX and they were slated for termination after Thanksgiving, but were giving a  temporary reprieve through the holidays but after the holidays, they were canned, and that was done throughout the civil service.   That being said a lot of the airlines are saying that "FAA Staffing Shortages at Key Hubs" are causing ripple effects through the system.  With us, our load factors are running exceedingly high, and if we have any disruptions, it causes problems.

 The Supreme Court made a couple of landmark rulings late last week and the repercussions are still falling.

  Needless the Democrats are a bit upset, crying, raging, meltdowns, hysterical shrieking, crying, howling   miffed shall we say.


      First off the SCOTUS released a major ruling that basically destroyed the "May Issue" that certain leftie states were using to keep people from getting a CCW permit.  The "May Issue" basically said that you had to justify your need to carry a pistol outside the home to a government official, and for some reason, only the well connected, the politicians, Donk Donors, entertainers, and so forth were able to get a permit after a "donation" to a democratic politicians PAC. The regular Joe six pack, the tradesman, the small business owner, the single parent...well they were screwed.  This was a two tiered justice process, one for the connected...another for the rest of us.  This has the huge potential of eclipsing Heller as a major win for the 2nd amendment. Well the democrats are a bit miffed about that.....


  Until Roe vs Wade was overturned......then it was the apocalypse...for the left.  Remember Roe Vs Wade is the center of their being, the zeitgeist of being a modern leftist.  I personally viewed it as a persons choice, we are endowed by our creator to choose, the only creatures on this planet with that ability.  As long as it ain't my DNA or my money, their business.  Personally, I wouldn't "do an abortion" or support it.  But it is a persons choice to do so.  What lost the "Normies" was when the left took the original and kept pushing past the first trimester into the 3rd trimester, and this horrified the "Normies" who couldn't understand the fascination with the left with killing kids.  And what it is that they use it as a form of birth control. "Hey instead of a condom or a pill, lets scrape the cells", that was the attitude and they kept pushing.

We not only went from "Abortion should be safe and rare!", from Clinton yet, to "Abortion at any time for any reason at any stage of pregnancy!" Plus the "Anyone who doesn't agree hates women. If they're women, they're either slaves of the patriarchy-" etc., and you'd think the leftists would at least understand just how badly being called those various things was going to piss off women on the other side.
      We have the other side screaming racial slurs at Clarence Thomas, having riots, throwing temper tantrums, and basically being obnoxious  and the best part is that the voters can see the people wanting abortions in all their glory being assholes and dicks , yep voters love them self entitled white liberal women talking out of their asses. gonna score a lot of points and sway a lot of opinions.
   
  

   And we have the  dictator er Premier of Canada offer Abortions to all who cross the border....Wow how forward thinking...of him....Honoring a women's right to choose what happens to her body.....except she has to be vaxxed.....Say what?    the inconsistency is amusing if it wasn't so sad and tone deaf.

https://t.co/nOWO4OM1ry

    Here is a Tiktok video that explains the "Normies" position pretty well.

     Now the Left is all enraged, they are having "Mostly Peaceful Protest", but in blue cities...they want to try that crap in "Flyover country",  but  the police, city council and DA aren't friendly to that kind of action.   

      This is what they believe in their blue enclaves when they talk amongst themselves.  they view us with disdain.  This was my response to that thread...

It seems kinda foolish there ...sport....you do realize that those rural people have a lot of guns and a DA that isn't friendly towards your cause like that big city where you came from....the outcome might be a bit different than you imagined.....just food for thought

  .

  All I know that the Summer of 2022 will rival the Summer of 2020 as the "Summer of Love" at the rate it is going and the people are not blinded by the media like they were in 2020, and they are pissed and feel like they were taken advantage of

Some even more pithy thoughts and musings

 Well I came back from my mini vacation and we had gone to the land of the mouse and I was a bum, really didn't go out much, just chilled and read a book that the spousal unit had gotten for me per the recommendation of Mike Rowe,


The book was excellent and I did discover that I had to read with "Cheaters" so I could read the print better......Man it sucks getting older, and of course on the way back we stopped and gassed up at the same place we stopped at on the way down...


    You betcha.....Grabbed a brisket and gassed up the Focus for the run into the Atlanta area, then got ready for going back to work.   And bummer......No overtime....NOOOOOOO, but I start specific  airplane type school on Monday for the next 2 weeks, I will post a bit about that next week.

 
      Well anyway the long anticipated Soviet er I mean Russian attack on the Ukraine has commenced, 
  I am of 2 minds of this, I want to run a lot of ammo, guns and whatever tank and helicopter buster ordinance they need, but no troops.  I stand by my assertion that the people pushing for war with the Russians know that it ain't their kids fighting and dying, but "Flyover Kids" that are gonna fight and die, and truth be told, we don't need to be bogged down there at the end of a logistic chain.  Now on few different observations.  One was that the Ukraine Gave up their Nukes with the promise that we would give them security assurances, and Russia signed that agreement as did China, but now China and Russia has violated that agreement and I believe that the Ukraine wishes that they kept a few Nukes especially because Putin has threatened to rattle the nuclear saber at everyone else. The Second point was that there was an agreement that NATO wasn't going to expand farther eastward and there was talk about the Ukraine joining NATO.  If I was Putin, I would have been concerned because if you look in the dictionary under "Paranoid", you will find a Russian.

    I honestly believe that Putin wants to restore the glory of Soviet Empire without the trappings of the Communist part, but with him in charge, remember he was a colonel in the KGB before the fall of the Soviet Union.  Back before the fall, the Soviet Union was a superpower and feared and respected through the world especially for their military might.  Now they are more known for how good their porn is and their cyberhackers...Putin wants to bring back the days that the world trembled before the Soviet  Russian Empire.  

    Despite the Russian invasion, the various lefties immediately tried to twist the resulting invasion to fit their pet cause to almost humorous effect....I would laugh but these people are deadly serious, this is how they think and act and see life through the prism of their intersectional bias and prejudices. and then pushing into twitter and social media and their vapid followers the bias and lies and flatout bullcrap, I want to laugh but instead shake my head because this shows how far America and Western Civilization has fallen.

   Meanwhile the Clown of Climate Change Flipper A.K.A John Kerry made a Statement about the Russian aggression against the Ukrainians and of course he trotted out his pet cause and he likes to go to summits in private jets and live in a standard of living that he and the rest of "our betters" want us to follow but they will be exempt from by their station in life and we will be destitute but they will be just fine.  Again I see the decline of the West in his statement and I wonder if the Romans did the same shit while the Gauls got ready to cross the Danube.

  Meanwhile the effect of the invasion is already being felt at the pump, the day of the invasion, I went and gassed up the Focus and pulled the cover off the Truck and since the tank was at 1/3, filled her tank up too.  Spent $51 bucks on gas that night.

   And the next day gas had jumped 20 to 25 cents a gallon in my area and in other areas it had climbed more than that.  When *Orange Man Bad* was the President, we were energy independent until Xiden got elected and he made it a point to shut down all the pipelines he could and shut down and or cripple all the leases he could forcing us to import oil and energy again, I guess making sure Hunter getting his kickbacks from all those energy companies were more important and of course "the Big Guy" getting his 10% " and everyone else pays the price.

Of course Xidens bad poll numbers are causing problems for the donks, their poll numbers are hitting the crater and of course with Xiden being the standard bearer for the Donks and the Party especially for the incoming Midterms


   All the assorted chickens that the Donks have been pushing have come back to roost and it is promising to be a bloodbath for the Democratic party and a

   Reminder that the voters are not to be blown off but the hardcore donks are ignoring the polling data and doubling down with the "State Knows Best" attitude and continuing with their present course and now from my latest count, there are 30 retirements before the midterms setting the stage for the biggest bloodletting in a 100 years.  Of course I had touched on this before in a Prior Blog Post that Felonia Von Pantsuit will most likely challenge Xiden for the nomination setting a stage for a possible  rematch between her and former President Trump for the 2024 elections.


    President Trump was arrogant, but his heart was in the right place and he would fight when he was attacked, unlike the GOPers before that would act all nice and stuff, he would counterattack and this was part of the reason for his popularity with the middle class, they saw that he would actually fight rather than roll over and take it.  And this is turning into the biggest "I Told You So" in recent History to a lot of people who had bought into the propaganda by the legacy media and believed the crap spewed by them about President Trump and now they realized that they have been lied to and now they are angry and that is partially why Xidens poll numbers are in the cellar and the media trying to prop him up is failing massively because the lies that they are pushing don't jibe with the reality that people are experiencing.  

Apparently there is a lot of data about the Covid that the CDC, you know that government agency that worked hand in hand with the Donks to cripple the economy and gave the selfsame democrats an opportunity to get their inner STASI on and they used it to punish their neighbors and people that they didn't agree with politically, they used the edicts from the CDC to get people fired from their jobs, and harassed on social media and kids mentally abused and turned into mental shut ins, yeah...that CDC.  Well there is data out there that the CDC refuses to release because it "Goes against da Narrative" but the wheels are coming off that wagon..

The CDC is now recommending that 3/4 of the Americans indoor can now go without the mask...especially that the new polling data shows that the mandates are being blamed in the democratic party by 62% of the American public, and to get that high of a percentage, the donks know that the percentage is higher than that because any sampling of the population always over samples democrats so it is higher than that and it looks bad for the midterms.

   And surprisingly the new mandates have come out saying "Relax them".  

        I wonder why.......
and finally
If I was Taiwan, i would be highly concerned, The Ukraine is being invaded and China has been building their military up for the past 20 years, and their best ally is being led by a senile doddering old fool that is basically a meat puppet for his handlers and I would be concerned partly because I would have no faith in the United States coming to my aid, especially with severe doubts with the penetration of the top layers of the U.S government by the security apparatus of the CCP and the resulting bribery of the son of the U.S. President, there is great concern that the Americans will even get involved.  If I was Taiwan, I would be using a variation of General Order 227 and adopt a scorched earth policy.

A few Pithy Thoughts...

 

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I have been very busy at work. 

I went to Wal-mart and noticed a few things.....or not a few things.....

  My wife wanted some "Baby Grande" biscuits.....well none to be had....Although they did have a few cans of  Old NFO's favorite "Whompcan" Cornbread.

This was all the "Dr Pepper" period in the store.   And this was normal, I have noticed that the Walmart employees are getting creative in trying to make the shelves look more "Stuffed" than they actually are.

    But Hey "Lets Go Brandon".

   


  Apparently Hillary being her corrupt self, had a bunch of tech companies spy on the Trump building and plant evidence implicating Candidate Trump and eventually President Trump in the long running "Russia,Russia,Russia" scam that Mueller and the Democrats tried for 3 years to pin on President Trump.  Well Special Council Durham has released a report that isn't covered by the Legacy Media(Insert my shocked face), because They are all in the Tank for Hillary and the democrats and 

 

there is a rumor that Felonia Von Pantsuit will throw her corruption tainted taira into the ring in 2024 and challenge the incumbent President Xiden for the Democratic nomination and there is also  a rumor that a lot of democrats will go with it because Hillary is corrupt and Venal and a total bitch, but she is at least coherent unlike the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.

She and the Hardcore democrats know that the mainstream media are very friendly to Hillary and will let her slide on a myriad of things that would have gotten a Republican and especially Former President Trump hounded wherever he went.  It will be interesting to see how this played out with the 2022 elections coming up this year, and the donks are expecting a bloodbath.


Speaking of the 2022 elections, the new polls are coming out and the expected bloodbath is having the Donks stepping back from the enforced restrictions, mask mandates, and VAXX mandates, apparently the new polls are out and most of America are blaming the Democrats for the problems despite the friendly lapdog media running interference for them.  This has the DNC scared to death, all of a sudden the CDC has decided to "Change the Science" since their benefactor is going to catch a lot of blowback by this and now things have all of a sudden changed....

 

     The CDC has taken a huge hit to their credibility running political cover for the democrats and their attempts to seize power all in the name of "Fighting the Virus" and nobody trust what they say anymore...except the hardcore donk supporters, everyone else doesn't.

    And there is one person that still hopes the virus stays malignant because it is the key to his power


.    And yes only the hardcore donk supporters believe anything out of that charlatan's mouth....everyone else wishes he would go away.


   And the worse thing about the past 2 years of Covididioticy is what it has done to the kids, you have kids that are behind the curve ball in language skills and comprehension due to the mask, and because of the lockdowns, the suicide rate  have been in an all time high, all to keep in power the teachers unions and give the democrats a chance to get their inner dictator on.  I wish helicopters or woodchippers were in vogue right now....


 And speaking of getting their inner Dictator on is the Premier of Canada, Ol Castro's kid Justin Trudeau whom after fleeing Ottowa because of the trucker protest on the VAXX mandates, and and now there are trucks blocking the bridge between Canada and Michigan and of course the Leftist are all a flutter


    *Wow*, the total distain our "Elitist Betters" have for people that they view "From the lesser social strata", than themselves.  "Just get a Soldier", like we are replaceable, interchangeable, malleable pieces to move about as they sit on their cloud and look down upon those in flyover country and believe in their innate superiority because of their family or their education in that ivy league school.  These clowns believe that they are our new feudal lords and are pissed off that the "Hoi Pelloi" are getting "Uppity" and are forgetting their place in the great scheme of things.  Remember we are here just to exist to support them in their lifestyle, our dreams, hopes and aspirations don't figure into the equations because we are lesser beings and of we were actual people like they are, we would have gone to the right schools and have the same belief systems like they did.


What people are pissed off is the forced VAXX mandates, the same people that were screaming "My Body My choice" now have gone full Gestapo and have tried to force the issue and get people fired from their jobs, keep them restricted to their homes and shunned from society because they for various reasons didn't want "The Jab". 

 


 Now my attitude is, if you want it, fine get it, if you don't ,fine then don't, it is a personal choice.  The problem is that a lot of lefties went full NAZI and tried to get and in some cases got people fired from their jobs for not getting "The Jab", it was like a religion or a rite of passage for them...I saw all the virtue signalling on farcebook from them "I Got the Jab, Look at me how Virtuous I am", The same people shrieking "Stay Home" are the same people that have safe government jobs like School Teachers or work for .gov in some other capacity and they CAN work from home and they stay home and act all virtuous and the rest of us have to out there and produce something for a living or we don't eat and pay the bills, you know....the "essential Employees".   I saw a lot of that, a lot of sociatial pressure to get it, and if you didn't you were everything from subhuman trash to wanting to kill your fellow human beings for refusing to "Jab up", and this caused a lot of resentment because it showed a 2 tiered society and now they are talking about a 2 or a 3rd booster....Say whut?  My employer has backed off the Mandates......for now, so my job is secure......for now.

 

Stacy Abrams, the 2018 Democratic for Governor and who was responsible for having the 2021 ALL-STAR GAME  pulled out of Atlanta  because of the Georgia Voting Law changes, well anyway she had a picture of herself in a classroom full of kids, she wasn't masked, but all the kids were.

                                          Here is the Actual Pic is question...

      What is it with our "Betters", the rules they foist upon us don't apply to them, you notice all the events, the stars and politicians are unmasked, but all the staffs and help are masked, so they are not noticed,their faces and their individuality removed so they are the nameless, faceless underclass.  Then you wonder why the Trucker revolt is picking up steam in many countries and the protest is spreading, the people are tired of the bullshit and are starting to pushback.
 


 


    This is how the average liberal is, unhappy, to them everything is misery and they have to try to change it because everything in the United States is "Evil".  I think that they have no spiritually inside so they adapt the tenats of liberalism and the goalpost change all the time and that makes a person miserable because of all the incertainty,  How can you be a believer when the rules change on you all the time, hell you would be miserable if the the teaching that you grew up as a kid changed as you got older and the foundation you thought you had turned out to be of sand and it shifted due to political winds and expediency.


    With all that shifting around, I would be miserable too, and I would be soo miserable, I would make my fellow man miserable, because if I was miserable and he was happy..."By Gaia, that isn't right, he has to be just as miserable and nasty and ugly as I am, remember fairness and equality is part of the tenets of liberalism, and I have to spread the blessings of liberalism to my fellow man".....See what I mean?


     Well Xidens ATF sent out a post on Valentines day, nothing says love like having an ex-spouse or partner gaslight you to the most rogue of the federal agencies on the planet....Remember to the ATF, due process is a suggestion and rights is just seeing which dog get shot when they drop in for a midnight "Visit" and if you just don't happen to get shot, count your blessings, because Rover sure ain't gonna worry about it, you can go to the pound and get another dog after it is "Just a silly mistake" after they leave when your house is trashed and you have to bury your dog and the warrant they got from a friendly ATF judge was full of bullshit from an "anonymous source".   Then you have to go to court to try to clear your name all because your EX wanted to score some kind of payback.    ATF   Keeping it classy since WACO.


   And speaking of Government, it seems like we are in an abusive relationship with them, the rules keep changing, we have all these unusual diktats coming down from D.C on the Potomac, and the size of the IRS is doubling to "Catch Tax Cheats"......Riiight....the one agency that have a different  court system and a different legal system than all the rest of the .GOV and you wonder why this goves people the chills, the one agency (Well the ATF will just show up, shoot your dog and maybe you,) but the IRS will flat our take everything you have and leave you destitute and you have to go to their court to prove that it "Was a mistake" with their judge to get your stuff back, and people wonder why this gives them the chills.


We have rumblings of Putin invading the Ukraine and adding "The Breadbasket" to Mother Russia, and our "Betters" are pushing sanctions and other things and beating the drums of war, talking about committing troops and I am horrified, I am an Army Cold War Veteran, I was part of VII Corp in Southern Germany and I also went to the Persian Gulf as part of Desert Storm, so as they say "I smelled the smoke and saw the elephant" That isn't what concern me, I was part of a highly trained green machine that had all the branches of the services that were well equipped and highly trained in warfighting, now the Army and the Military in General has newer equipment and in a lot of cases, better equipment, but the leadership flatout sucks, they are more concerned about "Diversity and Inclusion" then warfighting skills, whereas our near peer enemies don't have that problem and we will get our asses handed to us.  Our troops are fragmented, the ones that believe in this country are forced to either get vaxxed or get out, and the ones that stay in are the ones that will be ideologically pure to the left in this country, but they can't fight worth a crap, but by God they check off all the boxes.  And our "Betters" that are pushing for a confrontation, it won't be their kids fighting and dying, it will be "Flyover Countries" kids fighting and dying.  Our"betters" have no skin in the game unless the payouts they have in any Ukraine companies *Cough*Hack* Hunter Biden's  Gas Company sponsorship*Cough*Cough*. If there is a fight, we will have China watching and


either getting ready to carve up Taiwan or they will while we are embroiled in the Ukraine dealing with Russia.  They will be studying how we fight and figuring out countermeasures  and right now I don't have faith in the leadership military, Civilian, and political to do whats is in the best interest of our country, 

    And Finally



Inflation is at a 40 year high and the legacy media is giving ol Gropy Joe political cover.  They are saying the official inflation rate is 9.7%.  I think it is higher than that


          This was in December, now it is February.....And I think it will get higher and our Betters in D.C ain't gonna care because their fiscal policies don't affect them, they live in this bubble but it affect everyone else and I think they will use the money policies to crush dissent and force compliance to their diktats.  Nothing brings out their inner STASI like democrats.
