I’m currently running a sale on downloadable aerospace items that I had planned on either not releasing or not releasing yet. Twenty-eight pretty nifty items of considerable interest to aerospace aficionados. The sale is open to APR Patrons and Monthly Historical Documents Program subscribers for one week only. If any of these look interesting, consider signing up.
There are few that these people won’t attack.
Moments ago outside of the DNC convention, Joe Biden supporters attacked a 7 year-old boy.
He was attacked simply because he wore a @realDonaldTrump hat.
His name is Riley.
Watch it happen.
Listen to him cry.Will Joe condemn this violence against Children?

Entertainingly, the politicians who enable this sort of violence and irrational hatred make sure to use their governmental power to assure that the same thing doesn’t happen to *them*:
But given who the DNC choose to associate with, it shouldn’t be too surprising that violence stick to them like a tick:
So a photo came out claiming to show a slide at a “diversity” class at Goodyear, the manufacturer of tires. The slide showed what is, and is not, acceptable political sloganeering on employee clothes during work hours, and it’s kinda remarkable:
In short, according to this slide it is acceptable to show off left-wing slogans, but not right-wing or centrist slogans.
This, rather predictably, caused a bit of a kerfuffle, including a tweet by Trump suggesting that people buy their tires from someone other than Goodyear:
Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

And so Goodyear’s PR people banged out a reply where they claim no ownership of the slide or the diversity “training” session:
Yesterday, Goodyear became the focus of a conversation that created some misconceptions about our policies and our company. Goodyear has always wholeheartedly supported both equality and law enforcement and will continue to do so. pic.twitter.com/oO6jUg2rTR

And now audio has come out that supports the original story that Goodyear had a policy allowing leftist propaganda, but not centrist or right-wing:
And so now Goodyear has responded *again,* this time admitting that the slide was indeed from a diversity mind control session and that the slide was prepared by a Goodyear employee, but that it somehow does not reflect Goodyear’s positions. Further, they will now allow employees to show support for the police (but apparently not for the radical notion that all lives matter):

Goodyear is of course a private company and thus can crank out whatever rules they like. But blatantly partisan rules such as these are bound to create strife. Especially when a simpler and far more equitable and fair solution – not to mention one less likely to result in employees beating the tar out of each other – is to simply ban all political expressions on company property. No signs, pins, shirts, hats. Zero, zip, nada. Quick and easy, perfectly legal, completely fair. But no, they wanted to appear woke and *specifically* allowed employees to display support for an organization, founded by Marxists, currently at the forefront of a wave of criminality and misery sweeping Americas cities. How did they think this would work out well for them?
Goodyear may have themselves a problem. But another issue is concerning, and not for the first time: that original image of the offending slide would have been simplicity itself for *anyone* to create with Powerpoint. Post a fake image online, and BOOM, a major corporation takes a shot to the nads. Now in this case, it’s looking more and more like it’s an accurate depiction of an actual Goodyear indoctrination session… but it would be easy to fake. People really should hold their fire for just a little bit just to make sure that they’re not being hoodwinked.
CBS All Access has put the “Short Trek” episode “The Trouble With Edward” on YouTube. It is everything wrong with modern WokeTrek, as summarized nearly a year ago HERE. But if you want to watch it in all its “glory,” well, here ya go.
The Trump campaign put out more ads:
Personally, I’d recommend spending every spare dollar on the APR Patreon or the Monthly Historical Documents Program, but if you have anything left, take a look at these:
A fundraiser for the family of Cannon Hinnant, the five-year-old who was assassinated by his neighbor and ignored by the national press until pestered into a grudging acknowledgement. As of this writing, the goal of the fundraiser is $5,000, of which they have so far raised $798,024.
And…
Haner is a guy who was set upon by Antifa/BLM “mostly peaceful protesters” a few nights ago and beaten into a hospital for the crime of driving a truck on a street. The fundraiser there is a more ambitious $120,000, of which $93,084 has been raised.
And remember, kids: it is just as good and proper to refer to them as “mostly peaceful protesters” as it is to refer to a spousal abuser who only one day out of four or five beats his wife black and blue as a “mostly peaceful loving husband.”
Those who complain that “2+2=4 is white supremacist patriarchy” will never achieve this:
Science works, baby. “Other ways of knowing” can suck it.
He’s not wrong:
The closest thing you can get as a man to being cared about, is being cared about because you're useful
Implicit to the role of provider is not being loved for who you are, but what you can do.
True love is very rare.
Most people are just using each other out of practicality.

From 1965, two Boeing-Vertol Heavy Lift Helicopter concepts in model form, to scale with a Chinook (at far right). At far left is the Model 227 which carried loaded internally; in the middle is Model 237, designed as a flying crane. note, though, that even though the Model 237 is designed to carry payloads externally the vehicle is so large that the reduced fuselage still has room for a substantial passenger load, windows and all.
And it’s not even satire!
“300″ is finally getting a 4K release in October, which gives the ultra-woke author of the screed the excuse to toss every -istophobic complaint the modern left has at the movie.
So, why not get a copy and watch and laugh and cheer and poke the woke in the eye. Pre-order from the link below and I’ll get a pittance!
