South African president signs controversial land seizure bill, eroding private property rights
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law a bill that will allow the government to seize land without having to pay compensation, which some in the government say is a threat to private ownership. The law, which replaces the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975, "outlines how expropriation can be done and on what basis" by the state, the government says, according to the BBC. Ramaphosa's party, the African National Congress, or ANC, hailed the law as a "significant milestone." However, some members of the government have signaled they will challenge the legality of the law.If you're not familiar with what happened in Rodesia, you should read up on it. A stable and prosperous country gutted by the west and handed to the communists just because they were black.
Viva la Revolution !
Revolution!
Now that we’ve established that, moving on: what I expected, in my wildest dreams, where somehow Trump got beyond the barriers that held him back in his first term was the roll back of some of the crap that made the US a basket case under Biden. You know, actual semi-effective border control. Maybe a few thousand deportations. Perhaps a reining back of the stupid regulations, and some drill baby drill. But I didn’t actually expect revolution. A revolution that rolls back the now long established corruptions imposed on our system by the likes of FDR. At first I was in shock at the speed and compass of the EOs and other work going on. And then– Well, part of it is my health, but I’m having real trouble controlling this. I will read the news on my phone first thing in the morning, because it’s weird and exciting. And then I have to fight to work during the day, because I’m fascinated by this show which is more interesting than anything Hollywood has produced in decades. And in the middle of all this it was only a couple of days ago that I realized this is a revolution.And Obama thought HE had a phone and a pen.
Hero 'Daddy, did I save my sister?': Young Philadelphia plane crash victim asks after brain surgery
Andre says he was picking up donuts with three of his kids -- ages 4, 7 and 10 -- when the jet came crashing down. "Sounded like a missile was firing bullets, metal at my car, everyone else's car," Andre recalled. "You see a car on fire, a man walking on fire. It was just crazy." He immediately backed up his car while his son Trey covered his little sister, protecting her. "I turn around and he has metal outside of his head," Andre described.He saved his sister.
The Politics Of Heroism
The Medal of Honor Museum Cruelly Dishonors MoH Recipient Before It Opens Its Doors
On March 4, 2002, as daylight was replacing darkness, Air Force combat controller John Chapman was fighting for his life. He was fighting alone on a snow-covered mountain in Afghanistan called Takur Ghar. The SEAL team he was attached to (codenamed MAKO 30), commanded by Senior Chief Britt Slabinski, had left him for dead. But Chapman wasn’t dead. After battling alone for the better part of an hour in the bitter cold, Chapman was almost out of ammunition. A Chinook (Razor 01) with a QRF of Rangers was 45 seconds from landing. Firing in three directions, Chapman was still killing Al Qaeda and laying down suppressing fire when he slipped his mortal coil. An Al Qaeda fighter took his life with a bullet to the heart. That final, fatal wound was his 16th battle wound. Chapman had fought to the last second of his life. Had he not, it is likely Razor 01 and the men aboard could have suffered the same fate as Chapman. As it was, three QRF soldiers were gunned down as the loaded Chinook settled into knee-deep snow. Thirteen hours later, it was over. Operation Anaconda had failed. Miserably. It was bound for failure. Multiple command decisions before and during the operation cost the lives of seven men. After the battle, DEVGRU SEALs universally praised Chapman’s heroism. He was one of them, they said. Today, Chapman’s name is the only non-SEAL on the Navy SEALs wall of honor in Virginia Beach. In after-action statements, SEALs praised Chapman. Chapman was put in for the Air Force Cross (the equivalency of the Navy Cross). That medal was quickly approved. Britt Slabinski, the man who had left Chapman for dead but had never checked Chapman's body for signs of life, received the Navy Cross.The story, as presented, is infuriating. I can't vouch for its veracity, it is telling just one side of the story.
What's Left Of The British Empire Rots
India: It's Worse Than You Think
When I was a child growing up in India, I learned that “might makes right.” Power was often abused, with those in control acting as if they had a God-given right to exploit and dominate others. The display of authority could be so extreme that questioning it or expecting those in power to do their duty might lead to retribution. Those in authority seemed to believe that their positions were not for serving others but for personal gain. People who showed respect appeared to have meekly accepted a lower, subservient position. Kind people had to hide their compassion, for being nice was seen as a weakness. In India, I have rarely seen someone in authority take the initiative to solve a problem he was responsible for. When I was at university, an underaged boy who worked in the kitchen was raped and sodomized by the janitors. I reported the matter, but not only did no one in authority do what was right — something well within their power — the authorities and fellow students threatened me with severe consequences if I pursued the matter further. Devoid of empathy, they also made fun of the boy and me. Yes, there is an element of sadism here. There is some degree of pleasure that Indians take in the pain suffered by others. The attitude of the authorities was like that of the high-placed Delhi bureaucrat who told me that his Black Label whiskey tastes so much better because he knows that most Indians can’t afford to drink it.Doesn't sound like a very nice place.
Blitzkrieg Trump’s Shock and Awe Campaign Is Our Conservative Dream Come True
There used to be norms, and then the Democrats decided not to honor the norms but demanded that we still do. And during Trump 1.0, we did. We pretended that there were still guardrails, that there was still truth and honor in our institutions, and that’s why so many establishment Republicans believed we should treat hoaxes like the Russiagate lies with more than just a summary dismissal and ruthless mockery. We naively tried to honor the dead norms, pretending that the regime media was actually trying to report the truth rather than slavishly parroting the Democrat narrative. Well, we learned after Trump 1.0. During Trump 2.0, we’re not pretending anymore. There’s nothing to pretend. It’s a new day. It’s a new dawn - a dawn of the dead ideology of leftism. We’re going to nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. This change didn’t just happen. People didn’t just spontaneously figure out what time it is. This all began about 15 years ago, with the rise of the Tea Party and the appearance of a cultural colossus, Andrew Breitbart. Andrew always knew what time it is. He always saw through the lies. He saw through the Potemkin village facade of institutional integrity. And he wasn’t playing by their rules. His critique of, and attack upon, the regime media was an essential component of what we’re seeing now. If it weren’t for Andrew, we’d still be in a morass of managed decline and utter failure, probably having just ended the second term of Hillary Clinton and watching her being replaced by someone even more evil. Instead, we’re trashing DEI, sealing the border, no longer indulging weird perversions, and terrifying the GOP establishment into fixing the Pentagon with a former Marine corporal casting the tie-breaking vote.Not tired of winning yet, but we need to legislatively codify our gains. Otherwise, the next Dem president will just do the same thing in reverse.
A Personal Request Last Saturday, in the middle of the night, my little sister suffered a major heart attack. Her husband administered CPR and called the EMTs, who shocked her heart and got it going again. She was rushed to the ICU and put on a vent. "We will just have to wait and see” we were told. Well, we're still waiting. During the week the vent was turned down to assist mode, so she's mostly breathing on her own, but she's still unresponsive. A EEG was inconclusive - reduced cranial activity, but quite possibly that's due to the meds in her system. Her kidney numbers dipped, so she's being put on dialysis, which might help clear the meds and any toxins from her bloodstream. We're waiting to see. It's hard. Plus I'm 1500 miles away. Waiting to see. At least here I have work and my family to keep me busy. If I flew back there, I'd be waiting to see with nothing to do, although I would be with my folks and my sister's family. I feel like I'm riding a knife's edge. If you are so inclined, would you mind remembering my sister Susan in your prayers? We could all use it. Thank you.

A Bollywood movie takes this on. "Article 15." 2019. Tagline: "In the rural heartlands of India, an upright police officer sets out on a crusade against violent caste-based crimes and discrimination."
I had no idea about the topic before watching. Yeah, it's a preachy movie. I enjoyed it.

The "National Democratic Institute"—with Tom Daschle, Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, Michael McFaul, & Randi Weingarten on its board—received $887k from fundraisers in 2022-2023 and received $167 MILLION in govt grants.
-$81.7 million of that went to employee compensation
-15 officers received compensation between $178k and $344k for a total of $2.8 million
-$4.1 million on office expenses
-$13.7 million on travel
-$4.2 million on conferences, conventions, & meetings
Its mission statement? "To work in partnership around the world to strengthen and safeguard democratic institutions, processes, norms, and values to secure a better quality of life for all."

Yeah, I saw that. It’s something like an EC2 m5a.12xlarge instance. Which sounds about right for crunching 150gb of data and building a graph, then tracing edges, looking for patterns among the nodes. I’ve done the same on very large datasets.
Mostly doesn’t need AI. Normalizing names is one of the more tedious tasks, and there are some ML algorithms you can use there.

Circumcisions. Takeout or delivery only.
That takes me back. Long ago, I has a job that included working in a tissue culture lab that grew human skin cells for research. The cells had to be kept dividing to keep them alive, and would eventually reach their maximum number of divisions, and start to die off.
The preferred source of skin cells was foreskins of circumcised infants. Available on a recurring basis, and maximum number of replications remaining. Periodically impending delivery of "tips" would be announced. They'd arrive from the local hospital, pieces of tissue in plastic tubes of liquid media, on ice to keep them cold. They'd be digested with trypsin and EDTA overnight under refrigeration, then broken up by vortexing, and separated into different cell types by density centrifugation.
Door Dash for circumcisions.

All of their personal data is now at risk of exposure. Taxes, ex-gfs, medical records. They’ll be SWATted and stalked. The MSM, Democrats and Executive branch agencies will help out. They’re going to need personal security.
Hopefully they are prepared for what’s coming. I wish them the best of luck.

NEW: Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky says she has sterilized herself thanks to President Donald Trump.
The pro-abortion advocate (as seen below) says she refuses to be treated like "currency," which is why she sterilized herself.
"Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America," Pohutsky said.
"I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate."
"If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future."

However, there are food additives the FDA allows that shouldn’t exist. Like, I don’t think any increased cancer risk—even a small one—is worth it for ultra-red Froot Loops.

The French state recognizes only two claims to nobility: Henri, the Conde de Paris, and Jean-Christophe, Prince Imperial.
These titles are a gesture of courtesy, really, and a nod to tradition. These men can be ornamental at great occasions of State, too.
To the extent that De Gaulle had any friends, the Conde de Paris of De Gaulle's era was chief among them. There weren't many.

Pretty sure that would be overturned by the Supreme Court. You know, there are a couple of concern trolls here that whine about Trump having done nothing to strengthen gun rights in the first 2 weeks. What if he knows he's going to have another supreme Court pick inside of a year, and he will be able to get a 2A absolutist confirmed? Would it not be wise to soft-pedal any gun law changes until there is solidly 2A-friendly Supreme Court again.?

Actually, Richard Carpenter was heavily into Frank Zappa (seriously!)
There's a famous bootleg of Zappa and the Mothers from Ohio '74 during which, Richard And Karen join the Mothers on stage for a jam session on "Brown Shoes Don't Make it"!! Karen even ad libs a spoof on the famous Jimmy Carl Black line by saying: "Hi Boys And Girls, I'm Karen Carpenter and I'm the bulimic of the group".
The story goes that right in the middle of Richard's clavinet solo on "Call Any Vegetable", Karen vomited the backstage buffet all over the front rows, having taken the myth about the so called Zappa "gross out" contests a little too literally!!
You can visit the Swedish Zappa web site for a picture of this bizarre and liitle known meeting between these three musical legends of the
seventies.

Smallest V8 ever saw. Accessible, everything right up front.
Sediment bowl - old times.
Carb rebuild guy had a V8 Ford mounted on the showroom floor (once it was an autoparts place).
He would take the carb and mount it on the motor and demonstrate that it was working fine. All the screws had sealant on them and if they were not broken within two years and you put a fuel filter before and after the fuel pump the carb was guaranteed for 2 years. The rest of the time he, the rottweilers and his wife set back and ate chicken.

Heh. That 232 Stude V8 weighs maybe 50 pounds less than the contemporary 331 Cadillac. The two engines look very similar. Both were designed when the industry figured that fuel octane ratings were going to level out around 110, and 12:1 compression ratio would be the norm.. So they built very stout blocks with a lot of head bolts to ensure good sealing.

I had a really pretty, really small V8 engine. Came from a French car, a Simca Vedette, circa 1961. Vedette bought the V8-60 tooling from Ford, and made improvements to the design. Had a fully-forged steel crank, for one, and improved cooling system and electrical system. I bought it out Heavy Metal Auto Wreckers many years ago. Tim Lynch, the owner, sold a lot of Mopar muscle car parts, and was also a Harley fan.
The little engine ran fine. Aluminum heads and intake, too. I sold to a guy who is hot-rodding an old Morris Eight, and he needed a baby flattie for it.

Damn, that is small. An 80" harley engine is 3.500 bore and 4.250 stroke.

Pfft. Honda RC166, 250 cc, 6 cylinder ~1.5" x 1.5" bore/ stroke. And, get this, 4 valves/cyl.
I figure they had to use watchmaker tools to adjust the valves. Saw one run at Daytona. Sounded like a two stroke.

My last flight was in 2008. It was silly back then, what with Security Kabuki Theater. Now, with DEI infecting the FAA, if I was still flying it would be a 'hell, no' from me, or at least a serious pause in my flying time.
I know it sounds melodramatic but Trump may have gotten into office just in the nick of time, like a cartoon spy thriller nick of time. Under Democrats with DEI, things were going to fall apart; it was inevitable. (Disaster prep is not a sexy part of local politicians' jobs, as we see with Karen Bass and Gov. Hair Gel.) But exposing USAID goes a long way to fixing things. The Dems fighting FOR the bureaucracy says it all. Then they top that off with screaming about stopping taxpayers' money being wasted on bullshit, instead standing up for the bullshit. Crazy times.
2024 Trump is so much better than 2020 Trump.
. . . And in the nick of time.

Sounds like weed-whackers or small chain saws.
speaking of chain saws, how are the downed trees at your place faring? All cut up, or awaiting work? Later this month, I may travel to Saluda with Osprey to cut up a large fallen oak on his place there. If you still need trees cut, we could drive on the Asheville. I am thinking about buying a 42" Chinese chainsaw for this job.

They do carry emergency locator beacons, although this probably isn't what most people would think of as an airliner.

The trees belonged to my neighbor. He *Finally* brought in a crew of Spanish-speakers who got things cut up and removed. My roof still damaged. Damned hard getting a contractor to return calls around here. They are very busy.

I can't imagine how seizing private property can be a threat to private ownership. Now lets give our guns to people like this! And let them determine our freedom of speech! And let them control our freedom of movement!

'Tis Freya's Day, the consummation devoutly to be wished! I had a cool dream, colorful and surreal. I was working with Barnaby Jones on some kind of supernatural case here in town. Somebody we knew had had his head severed from his body and had turned into a lightweight plaster figure of himself. There was only one drugstore which might have the potion to turn him back, and it was way in the eastern part of this city, on "Iroquois Street off the I-10." (As far as I know, that doesn't exist.)
So we drove there. But we were being trailed by somebody who had our license plate. Then, as we walked into the drugstore, Fritz Weaver, the actor, was the drugstore manager (dress shirt and tie), smoking a cigar. He was telling somebody on the phone, "Yes, smoking cigars and pipes are bad, bad, bad. But It's a new policy, so if somebody says anything, just plead that you didn't know." And Barnaby laughed. Then I woke up.
Melatonin. It's not just for breakfast any more.
