Back in the day, I thought I had some decent campaign ads, but the H.P. Edwards for Sunflower County Sheriff campaign takes the gold.

Watching provisional ballot after provisional ballot get thrown out because the POLL WORKER, not the voter didn’t initial the ballot makes me sick. In those cases, the voter did nothing wrong and was GIVEN the ballot by a POLL WORKER, the affidavit is signed by a POLL WORKER. That’s a preponderance of evidence it’s a legit vote.

ohio maps are still illegally rigged & voters deserve district lines that don’t require a generational partisan tidal wave & record turnout to reflect how we actually vote never mind allow us the opportunity to unseat politicians who don’t reflect our values.

I need everyone to pause and acknowledge Zelensky in all of this.

Ukraine has been chipping away at bot farms…and they timed it perfectly so Trump and Elon and co wouldn’t have time to “fix” the damage done to their false social media support

The drop-off in bots was immediate and exposed things exactly when it was most important

A hero in every sense, that guy.

Long post worth the read. I have a close friend who flies private jets. He flew Lear 60 for over 15 years and now flies a Gulfstream. This is a copy and paste of his response to me asking him if he thought Ice was the issue.

“We always fly in ridiculous cold temperatures.”

“Usually you get the bad ice when the temperatures are like 0 to negative 20. Believe it or not, there's a point where it gets too cold for ice. At negative 40, you pretty much can't get ice. Besides that, the airplane is equipped with hot wings and hot tail.”

“I flew the Lear 60 for like 15 years. It's a no joke airplane and probably the most dangerous airplane I've ever flown. It has a super critical wing. The airflow has to be perfect. When it gets into rough air and turbulence, it will easily stall. It has stalled on me at 41,000 feet just because we got into some turbulence. (On the way to Palm Beach as a matter of fact. ) we recovered and got her flying again around 30,000 ft. Scary

But here's the problem. This airplane has a terrible coffin corner. (At high altitudes) what that means is, you fly in a really narrow window where if you lose 20 knots, it stalls. And if you gain 20 knots, it goes into overspeed. The air goes supersonic over the wing and it goes into a high speed stall, or worse, a Mach tuck.

So if you stall, the normal recovery is to push the yoke forward to lower the nose and gain air speed again. At low altitude, you can push really hard and recover quickly. But in the 60... if you push hard, it will gain air speed and go into a high speed stall, it doesn't take much. It's very sensitive. The 60 has super short wings that don't make much lift. So then you high speed stall, and the computer is yelling at you... OVERSPEED! So then you pull back and enter a low speed stall. And you go back and forth trying to keep it in the air speed window.

This whole thing is pretty scary. And you should recover basically by using your finger tips using super small corrections. You can't over do it. If you try to muscle the recovery, she gets mad and will become unrecoverable. If she enters a mach tuck. You're done.”

“I taught the Lear 60 to other pilots and mentored them. I told them... this airplane has a soul and it's trying to kill you. Do not ever try to top the weather. Don't go over a thunderstorm. Go around it. If it means a half hour longer, then do it. Going over the thunderstorm will go into turbulence that you might not recover from.

These pilots went right over a thunderstorm. I think it stalled which caused them to drop down into the thunderstorm and ended up in mach tuck. They picked up so much speed that it ripped off the horizontal stabilizer. At that point... chuck Yeager can't fix it.

These same pilots did something similar a couple months ago. ATC got mad at them. They poked the bear one too many times.

This is not a beginner airplane. The Gulfstream would never do this. It has HUGE margins of error and won't stall like that. But then again... it's got HUGE wings. It's a pussy cat.

The Gulfstream is like driving a 4 wheeler. The Lear 60 is like riding a uni cycle.”

@Snoopysmomma We have had torrential rain today and it’s causing tremendous flooding. We even worried our backyard would flood but it hasn’t. Here is Woods Canyon Lake today which is near Payson.

In a dried-up lake bed in Death Valley, California, rocks wander across the ground by themselves, leaving long trails in the mud. Some weigh up to 320 kg (700 lb).

For the best part of a century, nobody had ever actually seen one move.

A teenager phoned Pan Am and said someone had stolen his pilot's uniform. Pan Am sent him to its tailor and billed the $289 to its own payroll.

His name is Frank Abagnale. He ran away from home at 16 with no job and no money, and says nobody would pay him more than $1.50 an hour.

So he told employers he was 26. Then he began writing personal checks on a bank account with nothing in it. Shops took them.

The uniform needed an ID card. He bought a model Pan Am plane, softened the decals in water and pressed them onto a blank card.

By his own count he flew about 3 million miles and reached 82 countries. Hotels accepted his checks because airlines had agreed to cover crew checks up to $100.

He was convicted in France, then Sweden, then the United States, and he served his time.

In the video below, you see him explain the uniform call and the decal ID himself, on The Tonight Show, as the studio audience laughs and then applauds.

Watch for the line about shopkeepers:

"Most people don't realize how gullible the average storekeeper is."

Banks later paid him to teach tellers how to spot a bad check. Is hiring a man convicted of passing them smart security, or the wrong lesson?

The only people capable of launching illegal foreign wars while simultaneously crashing the economy and then punishing the troops for volunteering to fight are Republicans. Tired of people pretending the GOP is patriotic when their actions my whole life had made life worse.
