No more excuses...no matter how long/hard the day, I'm gonna get it in!

 

Wow.

I'm gonna get it in.  I might not be a monster but I WILL BE A BEAST (IER)! 

Covid 19 Vaccination Passport inside the USA?

 

OK. This is turning interesting.

From my seat we've seen a generation kill.  Alot of "older" folks that stayed on the playing field long past their due date were eradicated by this virus (but even there let's be actual and factual...alot of unpleasant truths in my opinion were left out...if you were elderly, or were obese with underlying conditions then you were vulnerable).

It's from that corner along with a bunch of hysterical news reporting that got this thing going so hard and for so long (another thing I wonder about are the psychological effects this has had on society...the riots and such I believe were a product of the lockdowns).

Is this out of necessity, another measure of control, a means to get to herd immunity (assuming that I'm completely wrong) or is it necessary to safeguard the public?

Regardless we're gonna have a HUGE price to pay with these lockdowns.  The developmental stagnation young children have faced this year will see blowback for generations.

I predict we're gonna see what we consider some unusual adults in a few years.

Navy CMV-22B Osprey from the "Titans" of Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 30

 

MH-60S Knighthawk helicopters assigned to the "Black Knights" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 4, stationed in San Diego, wait to be refueled by a Navy CMV-22B Osprey from the "Titans" of Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 30. The CMV-22B is the U.S. Navy version of the Osprey, a multi-engine, dual-piloted, self-deployable, medium lift, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) tilt-rotor aircraft. The Air Delivered Ground Refueling (ADGR) evolution was a first for HSC 4, en route to Naval Air Station Fallon. Air Wing Fallon is part of the predeployment training cycle for Navy's carrier air wings. HSC-4, along with VFA-2, VFA-192, VFA-113, VFA-147, VAQ-136, VAW-113, and HSM-78 comprise CVW-2 and are detached to NAS Fallon in order to sharpen their warfighting readiness through a rigorous 5-week curriculum. The training conducted during Air Wing Fallon drives air wing integration and ensures that all CVW-2 squadrons are ready to conduct the full range of military operations when they deploy later this year. HSC 4 provides vertical lift search and rescue, logistics, anti-surface warfare, special operations forces support, and combat search and rescue capabilities.

Massive oil refinery explosion in Indonesia...the circle is complete. 4$ a gallon gas here we come...


This explosion will complete the circle.

I've been hesitant to jump into politics due to my experience last fall.  It was pretty damn divisive, the thinking (IMO) was lacking and mostly emotional.  

In my view, both parties view us all as insignificant and they use a few "push button" issues to stir the masses to their side (whichever side you pick) while they push in the middle together to box us in.

Long story short I see them as being mirror images with the differences being on the fringes.

Which brings me to this story.

It covers one of the differences.

Biden is big on "environment".  So are many of his followers.  It doesn't matter that most of the them have never been in the woods a day in their life (parks don't count), they want to save the planet from mega cities.

So why do I say this completes the circle?  He's big on the environment, wants to increase targeted social spending and wants to raise taxes.

The market is always looking for a reason to increase prices.  Between the idiot that got the ship stuck in the Suez (why isn't that being looked at as a possible terror attack by the navigator and why is the entire planet subject to one point of vulnerability in the supply chain?) and now this, the market is about to take off.

Add in my predicted increase in the gasoline tax and gas will be four dollars a gallon nationwide by the end of the summer.

It'll be disguised by a booming American economy because they'll open things up but make no mistake.

Buying gas will cost an arm and a leg.

US Army, Calling Itself an 'All-Domain' Force, Prioritizes Long-Range Strike

Story is here.


What I found interesting?  Check out this graphic of the Army's new "Multi-Domain Task Force"!


Out walks the Marine Air-Ground Task Force.

In strides the Army Multi-Domain Task Force!

Berger and his cronies foolishly tossed away a battle winning formation without a thought while the Army picks it up.

We should have evolved it to meet future challenges, not attempt radical transformation.  Historians will not be kind.
