Catch That Tiger

Chet Atkins recorded this tune around 1950.  Sadly there is not video of him playing the tune this way.

Here is Richard Smith playing it darn close to the way Chet recorded it.  Richard Smith at the age of 11 could play literally any tune Chet had recorded to that point and there is or was a youtube of Richard on stage with Chet playing a few tunes.

Hope ya like it.

Yes, More Mammatus Clouds Please

Click the pic or suffer being the talk of the neighborhood.

If the link doesn't work, here is the description.

Explanation: When do cloud bottoms appear like bubbles? Normally, cloud bottoms are flat. This is because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. As water droplets grow, an opaque cloud forms. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side. The mammatus clouds pictured here were photographed over Hastings, Nebraska during 2004 June.

9-11-2001 Was a Much More Evil Attack on the USA Than Pearl Harbor

Since Most of those murdered at Pearl signed up to be in harm's way.  Which is not to say they shouldn't have been avenged.

The civilians on the planes and in the towers did not volunteer to be in harms way.  They even thought the government would protect them. Wrong.

And in observance, we have not done jack shit about 9-11-2001.  We brought Japan to its knees and beyond for Pearl.  

We have not affected the insect like moslems at all.  All we have done is stomp some easily replaced cockroaches that none of them care about anyway and directly or indirectly have infected most of the world's countries with their savages.  We even voted a freakin moslem into the White House 7 years after the attack.  Insert profanity where appropriate.

My take.  Keeping it short.

Why Bother ?

Guest Post from Mustang.

Morality can only be defined within a single culture; never across two cultures.  An example of this is that we can study American Indian history and culture, but we can never compare their values with those of white persons.  We can form friendships with black people, but we cannot compare the moral compass of white people to that of blacks.  These groups never have been, are not now, and never will be culturally (morally) similar.

Human psychology causes us to reaffirm the integrity of our particular worldview.  We are always in search of information that confirms what we already believe, and we easily dismiss propositions that are hostile to our own core beliefs.  We become polarized and tend to listen less than we do talk, eager to convince others of the high moral value of our own point of view.  This leads us to an impasse when debating or conversing with others, who have their own moral compass.

Psychologists tell us that if we ever hoped to win an argument with someone with an opposing political position, our only chance of doing that is to frame our argument around what they claim to be their set of values.  It all has to do with the language one uses in their argument.  If one wants to sway an opponent, then one has to use language that reflects, in some way, what they believe to be true.  What we believe to be true is rooted in our moral foundations.

What influences our worldview is our moral foundation.  Progressives respond to such terms as equality, fairness, protecting the vulnerable, and humanity (globalism).  Conservatives respond well to such things as loyalty, purity, respect for authority, God, and Country.  This is why conservatives respond well to such phrases as, “Take our country back,” which causes progressives to retch.  But  the experts claim that moral foundations do not translate from one tribe to another.  You can’t win an argument with a German by speaking French.  You can’t win an argument with a progressive using words that reflect conservative values.

Key to having a debate with a friend, if you want to keep them as a friend, is to listen to what they are saying.  The manipulators among us refer to “listening” as “deep canvassing.”  In my view, this is a bit dishonest, not to mention disrespectful.  If you have a friend, if you respect that person, then you ought to be willing to listen carefully to what he or she is saying, without scoring a “slam dunk” with your own (contrasting) point of view.  Maybe there are occasions when a response isn’t even necessary.

But here’s the thing: if it is true that morality can only be defined within a single culture, and never between two cultures, should we begin to consider that progressive-minded persons are culturally and irretrievably removed from ourselves?  Think of this as two tribes, each with its own set of values (few to none of which are shared).  Conservatives view liberal values as “immoral,” and “Un-American,” but that only makes sense from the conservative perspective.  Likewise, progressives view their values as moral.  Hence, any conversation with a liberal is much like shoveling shit against the tide —which leads to the next question: why bother?

With this in mind, why would any conservative invite a liberal to Thanksgiving dinner, where the conversation always ends up centered on politics or politicians?  I’m sure there are hungry conservatives out there who could use a good meal.

Open Letter to Liberal Democrats

Blacks, Latino's, Women, and probably even LGBT people are enjoying the lowest unemployment rate in American History thanks to Donald Trump, who Loves America and all of it's law abiding inhabitants regardless of race, religion, or color.

You support all these groups correct?

By electing another Democrat administration like Obama's or worse, you must be aware that many of the people in these groups will once again be unemployed as they were under your hero Obama’s 8 years of reign.  Correct?  Got a problem with that?  You don’t believe that?  Go see a doctor.  Your bead on reality is off by several bubbles of plumb.

 

By electing democrats you are Assuring that many of the people in these groups will once again be unemployed and not nearly as able to work to maintain a better life for themselves and their families, let alone pay taxes instead of drawing federal and state tax money - a double whammy.

 

Now, tell me where I’m wrong.  You really don't care about any of these people do you ?

Sane people, please share this thought when appropriate.

Bloodhound LSR Hits 500 MPH

As it continues through it's planned testing of increasing the speed by 50 MPH for each successive run to flesh out any problems at various speeds.  I'm sure you all remember that the Thrust SSC which broke the sound barrier on land in 1999 got pretty squirreled around 600 MPH and wanted to go hard left.

Oh Look

Business Cat Research

Based on the comments on the last post, I decided to do some exhaustive research into Business Cat and his details.

Here he is pictured in his Brooklyn apartment, dressed and ready for his Mom to drive him into the office.  As you can see, he is up before dawn and dressed in collar and tie, just like one of his heroes - President Donald J Trump.  He hopes to be a billionaire someday so he can dine on the finest seafood money can buy.

His name is Emilio and he is the one of the children of his Immigrant parents.  I'm not sure if they are legal or not. He can stay regardless imo.

And So It Begins, the Quest For a New Land Speed Record at 1,000 MPH

Driver is Andy Green RAF Wing Commander. Same guy who piloted the Thrust SSC, the car which broke the sound barrier on land for the first and only time.

Here is an article on the effort and below I've inserted video's of the Thrust SSC success and the first low speed test of the Bloodhound LSR which utilizes a jet engine, rocket engine, and a 12 cylinder Jaguar engine that feeds fuel to the jet engine. The speed tests will consist of runs increasing by 50 mph each run to gain confidence and shake out any unsuspected problems. (The Thrust SSC had a tendency to pull hard left around 600 mph..)

So, I'll update as interesting stuff breaks.

when TV news comes on and bills itself as "World News".  (You know who they are)

If they are "World News", why do they not tell you about:

The Chinese harvesting organs from live moslems without anesthesia.

The massive number of women and girls and young boys being raped by moslem savages in the EU countries when "immigration" is a front and center issue in America.

The fact that more people are killed with knives, wielded by moslem savages in the UK than are killed by rifles in America. The 2019 population in the UK is 67,633,912, the population of the USA is 340,000,000

The fact that moslems are committing massive numbers of crimes in the EU countries.

The fact that Slovakia has declared islam illegal, and that Poland, Italy, Hungary, and the Czech Republic refuse to take in moslem "migrants".

Just a small sampling of information for Americans to have at their finger tips when voting on issues of import.

Dang, Just Love the Love Thing

We ALL Knew This Right?

Of course we did.

Here is an article stating that 50% of millennials and 75% ! of Gen Z'ers have quit their jobs over "mental health" issues.

Thoughts....

• These are the millennials and gen z'ers who actually got jobs in the first place.  Imagine the number of these youngsters who never even tried working at all.  The statistic would be even more disturbing to sane people.
• Mental health issues....  One view is that these are not mental health issues, but rather these kids were never prepared to deal with real life by their parents or any other outside influence, mainly being the education system of K12 and University.  Another view is that these little punks have figured out that they can go on disability for having 'mental health' issues.

Not long ago, Mad and I were neighbors with a lady who worked in a social services capacity and who testified to us that people were getting on SS disability  for being "depressed".

Novella, Chapter 4

Novella Chapter One

Novella Chapter Two

Novella Chapter Three

As mentioned in the previous episode of the Saving America Novella and similar to the Global Seed Vault in Norway, hundreds of thousands of 1 milliliter capture stores of Donald J Trump Sperm had been carefully captured by a cast of Porn Stars and Playboy Models over the years and stored in secret underground sperm banks not far away from the Global Seed storage facility in Norway, and oddly unbeknownst to the Norwegians.  Don't tell em.   The sperm samples were stored in black plastic coffee stirrers just like ABS (American Breeder Services) use to store bull semen. (One had to be careful in their break rooms when getting a cup of coffee.  Lot of practical jokers there.

 And Whatever you do, don't tell AOC about this company, not until the kids knock her off anyways)

It was a total black ops mission conducted by an unknown SEAL team known in secret as SEAL Team 1313 Mockingbird Lane.  An unusual name to be sure but more secure to prying eyes and those not easily drawn to conspiracy theories.  They referred to their group as  ST1313ML.  You know how the military people are hopelessly addicted to acronyms - especially current and former Marines and Specialty Forces.

So, the sheep and goats were trained to identify and dispatch the enemy foreign and domestic, the goats actually acquired a taste for the blood of the enemy and mostly took care of the bodies, the A-team women were lining up to be inseminated and give birth to DJ Trump breeding stock babies who were actually born with little American Flags in their adorable little hands and things were running along smoothly to say the least.

Occasionally, some person, young or old would point, squeal and shout "Climate Change!" or "Cultural Appropriation!" or "Islamophobe!", or "Transgender Rights!" or "Racist!" or "Mysoginist!" or any number of other meaningless terms brought upon us by the population of the left, the progressives, the democrats, the communist sympathizers, now simply referred to as Tards.  (As a society, we shun multi-syllable terms, especially when describing 'Tards').  When such an individual declared their diseased mental condition by expressing these terms or acting stupidly in an activist manner they would receive a 2 hour review by a jury of their peers then be shot and dropped off somewhere in fly over country for the wildlife to consume.  Occasionally they'd be air-dropped into New York City, or San Francisco, or Portland as a gentle reminder to the Tards that there could be consequences for being a stupid dumbass.

Almost seemed too good to be true.

But there were still flies in the ointment.  Federal Judges were still pulling law out of their asses, and the Supreme Court was still needed to translate and rule on the Constitution in areas which should be obvious to even dead squirrels and clams embedded in wet sand and warm water.

A constitutional Convention was formed to resolve issues with the Constitution that were somehow confusing to a host of easily confused individuals with mixed agendas.

Some changes were made.

The 2nd Amendment was re-written to read:  Under no circumstance will any person living or dead be denied the right to own any type of firearm they so choose to protect their life, their home, or the life or home of any other person they decide to protect unless they have used a firearm while committing a violent crime.  (Really an unneeded clause since those people will suffer the death penalty within 30 days of conviction, but still) All non-violent felons will have the explicit right to carry a weapon openly or concealed and also will have the right to brandish any weapon in the face of any potential attackers. This amendment cannot be brought before the Supreme Court or any court, state or local for review.  It is clear and final.  Any governmental official enacting any process to interfere with this inalienable right will be stripped, put in stocks in town center and made available to the public at large for a righteous spanking with various spanking tools hanging on the stocks for use by interested parties for a period not less than 10 days and not more than 20 days.

Additionally, all children from preschool through university will be required to take and receive passing grades in the subject of Firearm Safety for every type of firearm available at the time of testing.  Rule 1 - If you find a firearm, go get an adult.

A new amendment was added:  The government, federal, state, and local will pass no legislation that affects the citizens but not themselves.  Also no legislation will be passed that affects them but not the citizen.

Other Constitutional laws which somehow found their way to the Supreme Court in various cases originating in the daily lives of Americans will similarly be clarified to the point that even a worm with a half brain cell can understand and translate effectively.

Judges ruling on cases that affect the entire populace of the USA will have their decisions referred to the Supreme Court before becoming effective.  The judges who have in excess of 30% of their decisions reversed by the SC will be summarily hung by gallows, executed by firing squad, or electrocuted according to their preference within 24 hours after the SC ruling.

There is lots more to do and deal with.  Tards were still unacceptably plentiful and this had to be corrected.

467,344 laws on the books were immediately identified for termination and would be eliminated and every new law made required that two current laws had to be shit canned. 

Most civil grievances would be heard in short order by thousands of AI robot versions of Judge Judy who would make a final determination without lawyers being involved.  Lawyers became as rare as American brick layers and landscapers.  This was a good thing.

Well, as stated, lots more to deal with.  I can't wait for Chapter 5 !
