^^^^That's great.  Yet now we are instead told to celebrate Diversity, BLM, LGBT, Muslims, Illegal Aliens, etc.

Feel really good. First time flying a low wing, and anything over 100hp. Landings were a bit squirrelly, but nothing too bad. Just couldn't get the flare right, and my speeds were a little off.
That’s friggin awesome Josh!  Congratulations.

Having flown high wings myself, when I transitioned to the low wing PT-26 the ground effect thing got me. Wings are lower to the runway than on a Skyhawk, and to me it was a noticeable difference.

You all are welcome. Ron Johnson is my Senator.

I heard his explanation, in articles and on local talk radio this morning, but I don’t buy it.

He said that an extra federal holiday would cost the federal government $600 million. As a CPA, I have no idea how that could derived. Yes, it’s a lost day of productivity, but productivity is not really relevant for FedGov because federal workers don’t create value (products or services for money.). Since the government doesn’t hire replacement workers to make up that day of lost productivity, there are no added out of pocket costs for a paid holiday.

Anyway, he may believe that, but I think he’s sucking up to the mob and it’s mysterious and sudden disdain for Christopher Columbus. The problem is the mob will give him zero credit or quarter for siding with them.

I’ve never had a paid holiday for Columbus Day, Presidents Day, MLK Day, so I don’t have skin in the game and certainly don’t want to argue on behalf of federal or state employed or bankers. Fuck ‘em all. But I despise having a politician pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining.

I say get rid of all federal paid holidays. Or get rid of Labor Day. Why the fuck are we celebrating socialist labor unions?

So original!

Wow. It’s probably a recurring theme on his year-end student evaluations so he had that phrase well memorized.

“People who are apathetic toward their own liberty can not eliminate Constitutional rights for those who are not.”

Best statement I have heard in a long, long time.

A friend of mine, former Combat Marine Officer, said this regarding the situation that our country is in:

“Stan, the Winds of Civil War are blowing stronger and stronger every day.”

I think he’s absolutely right, and I’m so saddened by it.

Which decision specifically?  For the abortion law, it was only a matter of time since an almost identical Texas law was struck down several years ago.  "Undue burden" is a concept called "the Casey test" and it's an important one.  Laws which require so much burden to comply with are illegitimate because they effectively ban what they legislate.  If you'd like a more friendly example, consider some state's gun control laws.  They could be considered overly burdensome and therefore the laws will be struck down.  However the Court has no gotten any such cases recently.

Just because you disagree with someone does not mean you should cancel them, that is what the Left does.  We should continue to respect everyone, even "them".  Maybe especially them.
Roberts indicates he was a textualist in his confirmation hearings. He is not. He’s an activist in that he is looking at meaning beyond what the legislature wrote.

A justice doesn’t need to consistently vote the “conservative” or “liberal” party line.  However, he should vote in the way in which he testified. He has failed that test.

Personally, he should not be a Chief Justice. I think he is playing umpire and calling balls and strikes so that neither party can say he was partisan. He doesn’t want to be excluded from any DC cocktail parties.

Has anyone noticed a new trend in advertisements on TV?  Almost overnight it seems the majority of the people in ads are black. I saw a T-Mobile as that had 5 blacks and 2-3 other races in the ad. It stood out as unusually pandering.

Check it out and tell me what you are seeing.
