Trump Calls for American Independence Agenda to Defeat Coronavirus: U.S. Must Never Rely on a Foreign Country
On March 24, 2020, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf (D) augmented his list of “life-sustaining” businesses to include gun dealers, allowing them to remain open as long as they adhere to certain restrictions.
The Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) Alan Gottlieb commented on Wolf’s decision to revisit his list of closed businesses and allow gun stores to remain open, saying, “The Governor was right to reverse himself. This is a huge win.”
LOL!

Twitter confirmed the company locked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter out of her account for a short period of time due to a tweet she sent about Republican Sen. Rand Paul that it said amounted to an endorsement of violence.
That is very attractive helicopter.
Last one:
Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the Trump Administration’s point players on the Coronavirus Task Force, is sick and tired of media jackals trying to pit him against the president and create division, discord, and distrust within the president’s team and the American people.
Fauci appeared on “Mornings on the Mall” on WMAL radio in Washington, D.C., Tuesday morning and he spoke passionately about how the media has mischaracterized his relationship with the president and has tried to drive a wedge between them.
Excellent!

Sounds as though Grouchy Fauci might have gotten taken to the woodshed and has now straightened up.
I wondered if I’d get any oil field hands’ attention when I mentioned Solar turbines!
KEK.
A fter the Wrist Rocket had been invented, they sold ammo in the form of 3/8” ball bearings for it. With practice a deadly load for small game and I sure wouldn’t want to find out how they felt! Now you can buy a wide range of models and ammo made from steel, glass and even clay - called “clod poppers” that explode on impact, so are good for mother erf.
Anyone interested, there’s a plinking video worth at look on the Ammo page: https://sausa.com/wrist-rockets/
PA Governor is good, yay!
Sending the one about Trump calling for American Independence agenda to others!
For a minute I thought maybe they were an add on, a Huey held the chopper speed record for a long time with some added thrust. There must be a wicked gear in there!

“A U.S. military operation rescued an American woman from unspecified danger in Honduras and she has been reunited with her family, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday.
The defense chief, speaking at a Pentagon news conference, declined to offer specifics about the operation or the circumstances that led to it, other than to say that the woman was a victim of violent crime.
Mr. Esper answered questions about the operations after President Trump on Sunday said at a news conference about coronavirus that a woman who had been “horribly treated” had been rescued by the U.S. military from a “certain area.” He didn’t offer any further details.
“We were able to get a young woman released from a certain area who was being horribly accosted, horribly treated,” the president said. “We went in and we got her out…. That was rough stuff.”
a little moar I’m not allowed to post per FR rules
Hell yeah. We got immunized in the old fashioned ways. Trial by fire.
Flaming tennis cannon balls was a top tier activity that was above my pay grade, seeing how I was more or less a youngster / part time juvenile delinquent, during this formative time frame. Born on date- 1957.
Those water filled, hand held, pump up rockets were quite popular in my social circle around 1967.
It’s good to have good news to report!
