There's a Starman Waiting in the Sky


[More]
My first thought: I can't wait for it to rear-end somebody.

My second: What if ElonMusk is an evil billionaire who murdered someone and put their body in that suit so he could flout getting away with it in front of the entire world -- knowing that by the time it's discovered, he'll be long passed away...? (Presuming he hasn't uploaded himself...)

And hey, why isn't it a Starwoman...? 

Seriously now, watching the boosters land was a thrill.  It takes me back to the type of science fiction I grew up with.  And I still maintain there's no reason we shouldn't already have Space Station V and Moon Base Alpha but for a "progressive" agenda mission takeover.

Private initiative assuming more and more of a role -- and not just in space exploration and utilization -- will be the future, provided the collectivists don't blow it. The impressive technology of Falcon Heavy aside, that potential is  probably the biggest lesson to be learned here.

You'd think the guy would be a little less conflicted. Still, the "flamethrower" shows promise.

Some day, regular people will leave this world. When they do, they'll take their rights with them.

And they'll be individual rights.

There are two lessons to be learned from that:

Comments, if done right, can yield results.

And one person can make a difference.

So Much for Inviting Public Comment


Testimony for Hawaii's "bump stock" ban proposal [More]

Commentary from George Pace:
Tabulation:
FOR    5 (five)
OPPOSED 104 (one hundred and four)
I haven't read all the comments (and even my quick tabulation looking through over 100 pages could be off by a couple), but the support is from HPD, Maui Prosecutor, Big Island Mayor Harry Kim, Americans for Democratic Action and one individual.
Now let's see how the committee "translates" that public input into action.
I appreciate everyone who took the time to submit testimony to attempt to defensively defeat legislation to further restrict our rights.
Now, can we please take the same energy and attempt to use it to go on the offense and get the committee chairs to hear the bills to restore our rights (CCW shall issue, handgun mag limit change to 17, and end stun gun ban)?  :shaka:
* * * * *What a waste of time. I don't get it. This is "representative government"? Representing who or what?
Chairman starts off the committee meeting by saying that there are too many people who want to testify on SB2046, so (even though you took time off work and came all the way down here and maybe paid for parking, etc.) you won't be able to testify. Why have "in person" testimony if there is a "time limit" that is interpreted to mean the vast majority of people there to testify can't testify? So much for "public input".  :crazy:  :wtf:
Then there's the fact that only two of the five committee members are present, so there is no "quorum" and they can't do anything after they sit there for 90 minutes listening to all the people they did allow to testify on other bills, and postpone action until at least the next meeting on Feb 6. Why even have the meeting and hear all the "public input" (such as is allowed given the "time constraints") when the majority of the members aren't even there? It's almost like they all have their minds made up before any procedural events (testimony, meetings, votes, etc.) take place, so they haven't really missed anything by missing the meeting and the in person testimony (such as was "allowed").  >:(

To serve Hollywood's marquee felons like Mark Wahlberg (currently brandishing a Glock 17 as a cop in Patriots Day) and Danny Trejo (most recently armed with an M1911A1 pistol in 2013's Machete Kills) — who aren't allowed by law to bear arms — ISS has a roster of realistic electronic guns (also known as e-guns or non-guns) that can stand in for everything from Smith & Wessons to Uzis.

Easily Offended

MSNBC’S JOY REID TRIGGERED BY TRUMP USING THE WORD “FAMILY” Bizarrely claims terms “family,” “church,” “police” “national anthem” are part of a “bygone era” [More]
That's a pretty privileged person to be walking around with such a big chip on her shoulder. I wonder if she bares her fangs and hisses when somebody holds up a cross...?

We're the Only Ones Non-Interventionist Enough, Eh?

Two officers told the student group that they could not stop the vandalism because it could be perceived as police support for Youth Protecting Youth, and that intervening with the protesters could “escalate” the situation. [More]
Right, we can't be seen as favoring victims over aggressors, eh?

Action/Reaction

So "Catholic" DePaul University toyed with charging Americans more to give scholarships to illegals, and is a “sanctuary campus” that has "publicly expressed their refusal to cooperate with the Trump administration’s enforcement of immigration laws"...? [More]

So the Republican-controlled House, Senate and White House can't figure out a way to deny eligibility of such law-defying schools to receive funds from PELL, SEOG and TEACH grants...?

There's So Much Wrong in This

I don't know where to begin. [More]

Murderer? Welfare cheats? A corrupt social worker? Nine kids and pregnant? Longstanding child abuse?

Does it make me "xenophobic" to wonder if something else isn't being mentioned?

Is it at least safe to wonder if the "social worker" is a Democrat? And what culpability will "Bright Beginnings" share for administering programs where their employees can turn a blind eye to child abuse and engage in exploitative criminal activity with apparently very little oversight? Or will their ladling from the Cuyahoga County, Ohio General Revenue and Federal IDEA wealth transfer troughs continue unabated?

We're the Only Ones Suspenseful Enough

Illinois State Police said an officer in the Brooklyn Police Department has been driving a patrol car with a suspended license. [More]
I wonder what he'd have done to one of us if he'd pulled us over and our licenses had been suspended...

We're the Only Ones Illuminating Enough

A 9-year-old girl wounded by bullet fragments was so directly in the line of fire when a Wichita police officer shot at her dog that the flashlight he shined from above his gun barrel illuminated her face right before he fired, her family’s attorney says. [More]
And the City Attorney won't release the video because "the law doesn't require it." So there.

That's illuminating, too.

Unintended Consequences

A Paper Tears Apart in a City That Never Quite Came Together [More]
And never will.

Not that I'll shed a tear if it folds.

Maybe they ought to publish it in Spanish.
