Bullet Points:
** From Satan’s Vatican – Harvard University is encouraging their students to sign up for food stamps despite the fact that the school is sitting on an endowment that is worth over $50 billion dollars. Harvard would prefer that their students get food assistance from American taxpayers than from the massive, tax-free nest egg they’re saving for a rainy day.
** Am I looking for a new job? No.
** Joe Biden‘s transgender drag queen health secretary has praised an Alaska gender-affirming care clinic that wants the word ‘mother’ replaced with the phrase ‘egg producer.’
Dr. Richard (Dick) Rachel Levine, 65, is the highest-ranking openly transgender federal official in the country – and has long endorsed providing gender-affirming care to minors, arguing that the treatment is ‘lifesaving.’ Levine visited Identity Alaska – a nonprofit community center that provides resources and health care for the ‘LGBTQIA2S+’ community which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, and two spirit.
** Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), one of Capitol Hill’s leading voices on student loan forgiveness, owes the Department of Education up to $50,000 in student loans, according to the New Yorker’s recent financial disclosure.
The filing, which was reviewed by the Washington Examiner, documented that the congresswoman owed the department between $15,000 and $50,000 for her student loans as of 2022. That same year, Ocasio-Cortez led the call for the Biden administration to cancel thousands of dollars in loans for each student.
** China is the world’s leading producer of pharmaceutical ingredients, used to make antibiotics.
** Japanese F-35s are Visiting Australia (h/t Claudio) China should pay attention to these unprecedented flags but will ego allow it?
** A good SITREP on Niger (h/t Al Kirk)

Before you jump to conclusions, the fighter was captured and painted with USAAF livery… Does that change your first answer?

hint: ID the DRONE circa 1943.
F6F/Steam Catapult
F6F Hellcat on the hangar deck catapult. The idea was they would be able to launch scouts quickly without having to clear the flight deck and spot the plane. In reality, launching under steam meant that every takeoff was against a crosswind. The system survived the first few Essex-class carriers but was then removed from all in service.
Tacticool – Black Guns Matter
Glock 19
Every month is a black gun month. Adopt a lonely black gun today. Don’t forget the ammo. The handgun above has an empty magazine. Won’t you donate so that the mag will feed? Somewhere in America, a black gun is hungry.
Identify the Aircraft:
1. Heinkel He 114
2. Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa ‘Oscar’
3. Interstate TDR assault drone
correction to 1: Naval Aircraft Factory TDN. TDR has different wing configuration.
Yes, a TDN
Funny, but I just read an article on the TDNs and TDRs and how they were used to attack Japanese installations via a television and controls in another aircraft. Very successful.
But we built so many manned bombers and attained air superiority so quickly, we didn’t need the drones.
Interestingly, the requirements were that they were to be built out of materials that weren’t already being used as war materials. So the drones were powered by Lycoming engines.
Funny how time changes things.
My wife’s father was an anti aircraft gunner (Australian Army) in Darwin in early WW2. Japanese aircraft were not so welcome then. They bombed the area about 70 times during the war. In the first attack they dropped more bombs than at Pearl Harbour.
Japan has taken on a different role.
Idol worship in Japan.
Reminds me of the Gay Pride events here.
I’ll worship the author of the 10 commandments, thank you.
I deleted it. When I thought about it – a little too weird.
Shintoism has a lot of interesting aspects to it. Ancestry worship makes sense. We do it in Christianity also. The concept of Kami, or spirits, everywhere, as in a particular tree, rock, stream, whatever. Makes sense, and isn’t against Christianity
The Penis Festival is a little weird even by Japanese standards. Legend has it that a lady was possessed by a shark demon after swimming in the ocean. Her vagina grew teeth and bit off her husbands yank.
A blacksmith forged an iron penis for to insert. It broke the teeth.
Then she lived happily ever after and they built a shrine.
Still more believable than Slo Jo and the Ho winning in 2020.
There is that.
Hahahaha (but not totally funny)
Hens are egg producers.
Mother produce children.
Black guns do indeed matter. While I have no plans to adopt one this month, I do have sufficient parts to assemble a .458 SOCOM upper.
.458 SOCOM is a round intended to do what the 5.56mm had difficulty doing.
Japan…using Tabasco for eye drops after seeing that bit. People are wacko.
Speaking of wacko’s- Sooo, dig a little and the truth emerges. No surprise The Daft Bartender Who Became a Mouthy Congressperson has a dog in the Student Loan dismissal cheat…while driving her Tesla. Then again, like everything government touches, the SL “program” is nothing but a grift, I have zero sympathy for those bums who got in bed with the Federal Cheats and Wall Street money boys.
AOC has been oddly silent lately… guess her DemocraTIC Socialists of Amerika Secret Agent of Anarchy earpiece battery went dead and she hasn’t found a replacement at her local bodega because it’s closed due to daily robbing so the owner moved and took a job with Amazon.
New job? Went for dinner last night in town….45 minute wait. Seems they are still short on staff so only half open. Guessing if I wanted some extra pocket change I could get a job there waiting on the vacationing General Public. Yeah, no.
Too late on the delete. Saw it…didn’t want to see it..but did…can’t unsee it, even if I didn’t watch the actual video. Might need a reboot to clear the mental history.
The Japanese celebrate in unusual ways.
I have been waiting four months for Ford Motor to provide a replacement motor for my truck under warranty.
The parts to produce or rebuild these motors are not to be had.
I called Jasper Engines and they told me the same.
If I order an automation device to repair or upgrade a production line (motor drive, touch screen, PLC) I’m looking at a few months. I’ve been waiting on some fuses for three months now to support the install of a press motor drive.
The supply chain is royally screwed. People won’t take a job.
Biden’s America
Ed, your motor has been on a barge circling 155 miles off the Cali coast (too far out to be seen by our crack news media).
But be of good cheer, Gavin says all is smooth sailing with their port operation, a statement fully corroborated by Alfred E. Neuman Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg, our loser box-checker TransSec.
Thanks for the update.
Japan. Early bird gets the worm, second mouse gets the cheese. This morning I am the third mouse, ignorance is bliss.
I adopted a brown gun last year (Canik TP9SF). Does that count? Considering the current financial times, the Canik line is worth a look. The more I shoot mine, the more I like it. Over many moons, I have gathered a motley double handful of random rounds of ammo dropped and left behind by others. On my last range trip, I sorted out the dozen or so 9mm rounds, a true mish-mash of brands, bullet weights, bullet tips, brass and aluminum cases. I loaded them all in one magazine and shot them. The Canik ate them all without a glitch, and all landed in a respectable group at point of aim.
The TP9SF has one of the better out of the box triggers I’ve seen in a striker fired pistol. Canik has also produced a pretty decent CZ75 clone as well.
My Tisis 1911 is a joy.
I just bought of those and the workmanship is very nice, hope to get to the range tomorrow and find out for sure.
I had to shift the rear sight.
Did you like it?
That first identify the aircraft picture? At least there is not ice in that water!
Could have been the Baltic in summer but more likely Africa
What a good round up. We’re constantly amazed at the sheer, satanic mendacity of Harvard
