As the Federal Government (AKA Schumer) Shutdown goes into its 38th day, the FAA has issued an emergency order that will prohibit rocket launches during daylight hours.

Stately McDaniel Manor - Too Stupid To Survive #228

The ”center” wants free health care for illegals and men in women’s sports? Dems intend to govern from the center? Stupid and demented.

William Teach at Pirate's Cove - NY Times Notices Sierra Club Tearing Itself Apart With Woke

At one point the Sierra Club actually concerned itself with the environment. Clean water, air, land. Though always somewhat leftist, I supported them. Then they went full on climate cult and Woke

Professor Yamane at Light Over Heat - Further Thoughts on Sig Sauer X TPUSA

I should post the first thing that comes to mind when I wake up at 4:00 am more often.

Second City Cop - You Want More I.C.E.? Because this is how you get more ICE

Um, that isn't a protest - that's unlawful interference. You don't get to "demand" the release of arrestees on the street. There's a process on place for that defined in the Illinois Compiled Statutes and in legal procedures.

Professor Yamane at Light Over Heat - Illuminations #1. 2025 Has Been Quite a Year Already
