Off We Go, Into The Wild Blue ONT!

Hi everyone. I'm tired tonight, but probably not as tired as Slo Joe. Did you see Ace's story down below on Biden's visit to Kenosha? Literally tens of people showed up.

This Thread Rices To The Occasion

Click through and read the whole thing, it's a hoot and a holler. If you don't like Twitter, here is the thread unrolled.

That's My America

When the runway lights failed, Alaska residents used their car headlights to land a medevac plane

Minorities For Trump

If a significant portion of the black population votes Trump (and by that I mean 15-20%), then Biden is toast, and it seems there may be some movement that way. I've heard this kind of talk before, and I'm skeptical, but that's the thing about preference cascades. Until they happen, they seem unthinkable. Are we going to see one this year? I doubt it, but....I could very easily be wrong.

Gosh fellows, we're missing our chance.

Tell me again how we don't need that pesky 1st Amendment. Australia has gone full blown The Lives Of Others.

Clickbait!

I actually don't mind clickbait articles, as long as they give you the option of reading them by scrolling and not clicking to a new page every 3 sentences. You can learn some neat stuff, like

Scandalous Facts About Nell Gwyn, England’s Royal Mistress,

and amusing things like

Lawyers Tell Their Worst “You’re Screwed” Stories.

As I said, however, when they streeeetch the story out over dozens and dozens of pages, like Homer Simpson getting NFL betting tips on a 1-900 line, that's when I give them a pass.

That's it. That's my WWII fighter. I'm a Jug guy, have been ever since I read Thunderbolt! by Robert S Johnson. If you gave me the choice of any fighter aircraft (non-jet, who wouldn't want a Me-262?) from any of the combatants, that's the one I'd chose (I might...might...pick the TA-154 (ETA I mean the TA-152 of course. The 154 was a twin engine interceptor), which was the successor to the FW-190, but it never reached production so it probably doesn't count). Top 5 (note, these are my top 5 choices, I'm not claiming they are the top 5 fighter planes of the war):

P-47
P-38
FW-190
P-51
Spitfire

Honorable Mention:
F6F
ME-109

Speaking of the ME-109, that brings us to today's fashion tip:

What would be your choice? Your top 5?
