In responding to a challenge from Sen. Fetterman to prove that he did not send naked pictures to women, Graham Platner immediately raised the Jews, declaring that Fetterman is a tool of AIPAC. It appears that the tattoo may be obscured, but a certain obsession remains...
On this D Day, I would encourage anyone who has not done so to go to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. It is magnificent. @GarySinise https://t.co/Eq1GApYGi6
Candace Owens taking a "suspicious trip to Russia" is NOT the real story. It's only proof that Russia and Alexander Dugin's massive propaganda operation is working.
Dugin is right about what is happening to the West. It is evil. But that's the trap. His "solution" would destroy us all.
Before you say, "but he sounds really conservative and Christian," do you know what he actually believes?
Dugin preaches that Russia is the "Katechon," the biblical restraining force holding back the Antichrist (the West) until its allotted time. He also believes that Russia and the Islamist world will team up to defeat the Antichrist West.
Good luck selling that in America. Unless you first convince some trusted mouthpieces to lay the groundwork.
So target them first. Have them divide the American Right until they don't know who to trust. Target the real wounds that they carry and slip in the poison. Tell them that they have to choose between their faith and their country. Tell them the answer to every single problem is to blame your own nation, distrust your own people, call them an enemy, and admire a strong man.
Then Russia can step in and be that strong man. And the notion that the West, including America, is the enemy now seems logical.
Propagandists like Dugin want us divided and at each other's throats. They want us to feel like we have to pick sides. We don't. That's why I won't attack the podcasters who have either been fooled by or bought into this narrative. That only furthers the operation.
@aaronfitt His parents have nothing to do with it. The pitcher should’ve tackled him before he rounded 3rd. That show-pony stuff is disgraceful and the fact that the Georgia coach even bothered to argue the ejection is more disgraceful. You edit a “baseball” magazine?
68 years ago today, Frank Sinatra started recording his album, 'Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely,’ closing with the contemplative and melancholic “One For My Baby.”
The most proximate cause of this quietude is not Trump (a philistine, galactic-level horse's ass) but rather, the artists and patrons who refuse to show up. https://t.co/ODMgIGiRHL
Yale fully reinstates its pre-pandemic SAT/ACT requirement in admissions.
“These test scores are strong predictors of a student’s future Yale academic performance, and there is evidence that they are less subject to bias than other elements of an application.”
Passengers sometimes hear an odd, rhythmic “thumping” just after takeoff, when the gear is retracted. Particularly if seated near the front.
That’s the nose gear, and the wheels being stopped once they get into the bay. Unlike the main gear, which applies some brakes before pulling in the wheels, the nose gear has no brakes installed.
So, to stop the wheels, it pulls the gear up until the tires come in contact with “snubbers”. These are flexible strips w/ a bit of rubber mounted to them. As the tires come in contact, the snubbers slow & stop them. In the picture, you can see some rubber gets flung around the nose gear bay.
Anyway, contact is not always perfect, so you sometimes get a rhythmic thumping as the wheels slow. Other times you may hear it as a constant sound for a few seconds that seems to slow down & change pitch…and slowing down is exactly what’s happening.
Anyway, now you know what the sound right after takeoff is. We generally retract the gear immediately after confirming we have a rate of climb.
“Positive rates (of climb), gear up”.
Hope that helps!
Six Chinese nationals flagged as "special interest" were apprehended near Eagle Pass, Texas. All six were wearing camouflage clothing at the time of their detention.
