Leslie Grace turned me on to Bachata music. Do a youtube search for her and watch, “will you still love me tomorrow” I think she was about 16 when she made this video. If you want more Bachata, try searching for “rebecca kingsly” and watch “Killing me Softly.”

I’ve said this since the testing hysteria started - do not get tested unless you have to go to the hospital. Otherwise, if you are ill, it doesn’t matter whether you have it or not. If you’re ill stay home until you’re better. All testing does is give the despots more numbers to scare the weak with and excuses to keep you under house arrest.

“Nothing dumber than attempting to test everybody in the country as some seem to want.”

Your point is well taken, but it goes even further. Most of the RAT governors are saying that “new cases” have to go down. How do we get new cases - by testing!

If you wake up with the sniffles and call your doctor and demand a test,he may or may not help you get one. But regardless, he will tell you to quarantine at home until you are better, and to go to the hospital if you get worse. The test only runs up the numbers so the media can continue the panic.

It would be best to not volunteer for any testing. This will drive the number of confirmed cases down.

In Pennsylvania, our RAT governor is trying his hardest to keep everyone under house arrest. His new scheme is to “allow” opening in several phases only when new cases are less than 50 per 100,000 over a 2 week period. It’s on a regional basis. My county is at 54 - just a bit too much to get any kind of relief from the despots.

So here’s my plan to drive the cases down - don’t get tested! If you wake up with a sniffle or fever, what good does a test do other than to ramp up the numbers? Even if you test positive, they’ll tell you to stay at home until you’re better and come to the hospital if you get a lot worse. Testing when you don’t need to be admitted to a hospital is just so that RATs can keep their boots on your neck.

Spread the word - don’t get tested and watch the numbers drop.

“In addition to saliva tests to determine if someone is actively positive for this virus (infectious), we need to start producing lots of blood tests, to determine if they already have immunity from previous exposure.”

I’ve seen this sentiment multiple times and it sounds right. But why can’t they simply test every pint of blood being donated? How many thousands have donated in the last month - all over the country. Also, how many have blood tested for other things - those could be tested too to check for immunity. I would think the Red Cross could have a database of people who have immunity.

“an” = “a”

Can someone explain why salt has an “best by” date?

Just saw them last month at Penn’s Peak in the Poconos. Venue was close to a sellout and they really fed off the energy of the crowd. They’re back in the USA this fall too.

These good people are actually out there fighting and doing real things that make a difference, but I would guess that only a small percentage of conservatives even know who they are. We should have a dozen more organizations that are actively pushing back.

So why don’t we have a thousand more lawyers making the libs squirm? How come Soros and his ilk can fund dozens of troublemaking orgs and we have a relative handful?

It’s money, of course, coupled with a real mission to undermine America. Soros leverages his own wealth along with a motivated crowd of moonbats who kick in with donations whenever he pulls their strings.

Why can’t we do something similar? I think it’s because conservatives require some return on their money. If, for example, we give to the RNC, we get stabbed in the back and decide “no more.”

We need a leader to galvanize a couple million patriots to pool their money to fund real push back against the anti-Americans. I envision a small group - Rush, Mark, Sean, Laura, etc. I’ll bet they could organize 2 million Americans to contribute $20 a month to be spent on real change.

I would ask these four to fund the administrative costs of running the organization and that Mark Levin be put in charge of a group who decides how the money is spent. Every penny would be reported every month. I’d like to see them create new conservative law firms, fund OAN for growth, run attack ads against democrats (but no other candidate ads), set up a PR group that is very “in your face” with things like a nationwide billboard buy asking why Democrats love Illegals and hate America. These are many possibilities.

I love hearing the opinions of these leaders, but let face it - they’ve been talking for years as we slide ever downward. It’s time for action.

Judicial Watch comes through again and again. Why in the world doesn’t Rush and other patriots create and mentor a dozen (or a hundred) more?

Nothing about the story, but in my 60+ years, Hep C is the only disease that medical science has actually found a cure for. Not vaccines to prevent or lifetime treatments to allow the patient to manage his disease, but a real cure for a disease that people get for whatever reason.

Most medical charities no longer even promise cures - they do research on treatments and promote awareness.

Something that is often overlooked in this mess is the fact that the Lion Air crash happened 2 or 3 months before this one. Anyone who even casually watched the news learned all about MCAS and how to disable it. Boeing put out a reminder to all pilots on what to do - which is simply to flip those two switches. This “problem” was known to anyone even mildly interested in aviation.

So how it it that these two pilots were overwhelmed and seemingly clueless?

Another mystery I’ve not seen addressed is due to the fact that the “problem” started at only 450ft of altitude. MCAS will not turn on if the flaps are extended or if the autopilot is engaged. So did they fully retract flaps by 450Ft? Were they even extended for takeoff?

Airplanes are made of thousands of parts, any of which could theoretically fail at any time. When one fails, it’s the job of the pilots to react correctly. In this case, I don’t think they did.

God Bless Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch. We need 20 more orgs filled with bulldog lawyers on our side.

“So, how many planes have to crash before it is safe to say there is a problem here?”

I don’t really like your tone, but I’m a civil guy, so I’ll respond.

How many poorly trained pilots flying on poorly run airlines need to crash perfectly good planes before you say there is a problem here?

The Ethiopian crash is, in some ways, worse than the Lion Air. After that crash last October, the world was flooded with information on the MCAS system. It was a headline for weeks and Boeing even issued a statement to all pilots about what they should do if there was a failure.

You would think that with hundreds of millions of non-pilots knowing a lot about the system from reading about it every day, a pilot paid to fly the 737-800 might have had a clue, wouldn’t you?

That’s why I think the cause of the Ethiopian is something other than pilots being clueless about MCAS.

“If the failure of a single sensor can send the aircraft into a dive toward the ground, it is not “pilot error”

First, the software did not send the plane into a dive. It lowered the nose a few degrees which was easily compensated for by the captain over 20 times. He could have simply turned on autopilot or turn off the stab and it would have been fine.

Next, the crash was not caused by the failure of single sensor. Items malfunction in planes all the time - from sensors to engines and everything in between.

Pilots are there to deal with these in the right way. A runaway stab is something every airline pilot in the world should recognize and deal with in seconds. Is it Boeing’s fault if some low hour pilot reacts to an engine problem by turning off fuel to the good engine?

I put the blame for this 100% on the awful mistakes made by lion air mechanics and lion air pilots and also lion air culture. Remember, the pilots on the previous flight kept flying to their destination after they turned off the auto stab system. Any American airline would require such a plane to turn around and return to airport.

My mistake. The organization filing suits is Freedom Watch.

And God Bless them too!

God Bless Judicial Watch. They are actually out there fighting. Why can’t our great conservative heros help set up 10 or a hundred more organizations to really push back? We’ve had enough talk - it’s time for those in prominent positions to lead and get real Americans organized to resist the lib onslaught. I’m talking to you Rush and Mark and Sean and many others. I’ll bet you could get a million of us to give $10 a month if 100% of it went to filing suits, organizing demonstrations, doing undercover work, etc.

If they got into the game, I’ll bet we could get Project Veritas 10 times more people. That Campus Reform could double its efforts on campus. That Judicial Watch could file hundreds more suits.

Enough talk. Time for action.

The pilot flying was officially blamed, but this was due to enormous pressure from airbus and the Europeans. The plane ran through some rough turbulance shortly after takeoff and the pilot pressed the rudder pedals to compensate. The investigation found that he pressed them so hard and often that part of the tail fell off and thus it was his fault. BTW, his use of the rudder was part of his training and was only changed after the accident.

I can only hope that if I get into an emergency braking situation in my car, and push the brake really hard, that the car doesn’t come apart because I’m too “aggressive.”

There’s a postscript to this too - after 11 years, the FAA and Euro regulators decided changes needed to be made to the airbus A300. A warning light was put in to warn pilots if they were using the rudder too aggressively.

Rush is in a unique position to lead people into activism. He’s talked for 30 years and built a gigantic audience while the country had slid further and further downhill. It’ time for Rush and Mark and Sean to DO REAL THINGS that push back against the libs. The ones on our side who really are active are small in number - Judicial Watch, Project Veritas, Campus Reform, Laura Loomer and I’m sure some others.

It’s time to stop the talking and start with the action, Rush. I’ll partner with you - just lead the way. WE need a thousand more lawyers actively pushing back. We need 10,000 who will call businesses and show up to make libs lives a little worse. We need 100,000 college students who will demand their rights to speak their minds.

There are dozens of effective things that could be done. And yeah, it’s expensive. But I, for one, would pay $20 a month to see actual pushback happening. How many people in the audience of Rush, Sean, Mark and others would do the same?

Show us you will ACT and I’ll bet a LOT of people would contribute - and a lot of them would attend demonstrations, make calls, send messages and report on absurd lib behavior on a local basis.

So come on Rush, Sean, Laura, Mark, Michelle, Ann and others - we don’t need another show or another book - we need you to organize and lead a conservative activist army against the libs and the republican squishes.
