INTERESTING: ‘a bit like negotiating one’s way up a badger’s a***’

Would you want a pilot to tell you if the plane was about to crash? Aviation experts reveal why passengers are NOT always informed 

  • Pilots and aviation safety experts discussed the topic on an online forum
  • Sometimes there isn’t time for crew to disclose an impending disaster 
  • Passengers also came forward with their own stories of near-crashes

After flying through a plume of volcanic ash dispersed from a recent eruption, Captain Eric Moody said: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. ‘We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.’

Fortunately, this story had a happy ending and everyone survived, though Captain Moody later described the experience as being ‘a bit like negotiating one’s way up a badger’s a***’.

Interesting question?

I think I’d like to know.

Say a prayer and watch my life flash!

Otherwise, I might waste those last minutes worrying about the future.

GOVERNACIDE: Voting … …

“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.” ― often incorrectly attributed to American humorist Mark Twain ― but very very true imho!

POLITICAL: Politicians and bureaucrats “Never apologize”

Monday, November 7, 2016

https://americankabuki.blogspot.com/2012/10/what-do-you-mean-we-kemosabe.html

*** begin quote ***

If you read the book by Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince, there’s one central theme that comes out and every politician, power broker and religionist since has practiced.  Never apologize.  They will obfuscate, misdirect, counter accuse, but never apologize.  Sad really.  Politics is the game of literalizing metaphor and hanging people by twisting intent of their words.  

*** end quote ***

It’s really sad and frustrating.

Argh!

Well, it will soon be over.

POLITICAL: What is the truth? Who’s going to “suicide” next?

The Real Reasons Why James Comey Reopened the Hillary Investigation
By Joachim Hagopian
October 31, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Finally, diGenova dropped one more bombshell in Friday’s interview. An inside source has revealed to him that the laptops belonging to key Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, both wrongly  granted immunity, were not destroyed after all as previously reported, but have been secretly kept intact by investigating FBI agents refusing to destroy incriminating evidence as part of the in-house whitewash. Additionally like their boss, Hillary’s aides also sent classified material using private servers. On top of that, longtime aide Cheryl Mills on multiple occasions has perjured herself lying under oath for the Clinton crime family, tasked with “cleaning up” (aka covering up) their countless scandals over the past several decades. Indeed the whole Clinton entourage not already “mysteriously” winding up in the growing Clinton dead pool are all unindicted criminals protected by the corrosively corrupt DC cronyism where backroom deals (a la Bill’s airport ambush) are brokered based on whatever dirt’s been gathered and used as bargaining blackmail chips against all parties involved. That’s how the Washington crowd stays immune from any and all accountability as well as stays alive. Violate that crime syndicate code of conduct and you lose your life as more recent victims earlier this year have.

Sounds like “insubordinate” agents are taking matters into their own hands.

How can Apple design such poor software that it doesn’t highlight an obvious forgery?

Argh!

While it had little chance of fooling me — a quick email from gmail and visa versa proved it “lame” — I wonder how many it does catch?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Seaside Heights may never recovery its former glory

Thursday, November 3, 2016

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/28/4-years-after-storm-some-places-changed-by-sandy-forever.html

HURRICANES – TYPHOONS
4 years after storm, some places changed by Sandy forever
Published October 28, 2016  Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

NEW YORK –  For four years, people have worked hard and mostly successfully to erase the deep scars Superstorm Sandy left on the New York and New Jersey coastlines when it crashed ashore with deadly force on Oct. 29, 2012.

But recovery will never come to Oakwood Beach, among several places along the coast that have seen permanent changes wrought by the storm.

*** and ***

In Seaside Heights, made infamous by the MTV reality show “Jersey Shore,” authorities still plan to rebuild an amusement park that had its roller coaster swept into the surf by the storm. But the town gave up on returning the park to a pier that jutted out into the water, opting instead for a new location on the beach.

*** end quote ***

Seaside Heights NJ 08751 will never be the same. It may never regain it past “glory”. Even though it survived MTV’s “Jersey Shore” reality show — where Brooklyn studs and sluts were portrayed as “Jerzee”. Argh!

Note the Gooferment / Statist language in the article.

Like “authorities still plan” and “the town gave up”!

Argh!

Neither the citizens of nor the taxpayers to the “Borough of Seaside Heights” were ever polled. In fact, continuing a town tradition of rule by the elite, in the days after the storm, property “owners” were prevented from reentry. Who knows what happened during those weeks? But we do know from news footage that the boardwalk owners met often with the “town officials” about what would happen.

Argh!

It’s a sad state of affairs when the Sheeple are treated so badly.

Another time when I’m not so aggrieved, let’s talk about the phony “Federal Flood Insurance” program and the fraud it is. 

Argh!

“If I could do one thing and wave a magic wand, I would eliminate the national flood insurance program,” he said to cheers from some of those who protested him minutes earlier. “They won’t let us regulate them … and they dominate the market.” — Gov. Chris Christie

FUN: The Lone Ranger and Tonto were at the bar … …

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

http://www.winkman.com/myspace/loneranger.html

 

*** begin quote ***

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were at the bar drinking, when in walks a cowboy who yells, “Who’s white horse it that outside?”

The Lone Ranger finishes off his whiskey, slams down the glass, turns around and says, “It’s my horse. Why do you want to know?”

The cowboy looks at him and says, “Well, your horse is standing out there in the sun and he don’t look too good.”

The Lone Ranger and Tonto run outside and they see that Silver is in bad shape, suffering from heat exhaustion. The Loan Ranger moves his horse into the shade and gets a bucket of water. He then pours some of the water over the horse and gives the rest to Silver to drink.It is then he notices that there isn’t a breeze so he asks Tonto if he would start running around Silver to get some air flowing and perhaps cool him down.

Being a faithful friend, Tonto starts running around Silver. The Lone Ranger stands there for a bit then realizes there is not much more he can do, so he goes back into the bar and orders another whiskey.

After a bit a cowboy walks in and says, “Who’s white horse is that outside?”

Slowly the Lone Ranger turns around and says, “That is my horse, what is wrong with him now?”

“Nothing,” replies the cowboy, “I just wanted to let you know that you left your Injun running.”

VETERANS: VA Suicide Hotlines Abandoned

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

*** begin quote ***

VA Suicide Hotlines Abandoned – source National Review On-Line 

World Suicide Prevention Week recently came and went invisibly-again. Society these days seems more emotionally investing in facilitating suicides of the ill and disabled than preventing theirs and those of other despairing people. But preventing the suicides of our military veterans has been one of the few exceptions, with a great deal of time and energy devoted the prevention cause.

Alas, VA bureaucrats apparently remain indifferent to the suicide prevention cause with 1/3 of the calls to hotlines going unanswered. According to a CBS story:

– More than one-third of calls to a suicide hotline for troubled veterans are not being answered by front-line staffers because of poor work habits and other problems at VA, according to the hotline’s former director.

– Some hotline workers handle fewer than five calls per day and leave before their shifts end, even as crisis calls have increased sharply in recent years, said Greg Hughes, the former director of V A’s V eterans Crisis Line.

– Hughes said in an internal email that some crisis line staffers “spend very little time on the phone or engaged in assigned productive activity.” Coverage at the crisis line suffers “because we have staff that routinely request to leave early,” he said.

Is it any wonder people are rapidly losing faith in our institutions?

*** end quote ***

This should be a national disgrace.

22 military suicides per day was number I’ve heard.

This should be SOMEBODY’S priority.

If not DOD, then VA.

Argh!

I know, let stop creating these cases, by bringing all the girls, boys, women, and men home now!

(We have so many UNCARING politicians and bureaucrats to send in their place if it’s really needed!)

NOTRECOMMENDED: MAILCHIMP free no good

Tuesday, November 1, 2016

Sorry, but MAILCHIP snagged my alumni news letter for some type of spam. It’s been months since I replied to their support about it. No response. 

But plenty of sales emails.

Be forewarned. “Free” isn’t; “paid” may be treated just as bad.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The FBI has lost its reputation!

Monday, October 31, 2016

What Happened to the FBI?
By Andrew P. Napolitano
October 27, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Why did this case go sideways?

Did President Obama fear being a defense witness at Hillary Clinton’s criminal trial? Did he so fear being succeeded in office by Donald Trump that he ordered the FBI to exonerate Clinton, the rule of law be damned? 

*** end quote ***

We KNOW that Robert Stack,Jimmy Stewart, and Efram Zimbalist Jr. propagandized the image of the FBI.

And, the FBI may have done good work once upon a time. But, now that is gone forever.

The question is what does this turn into?
