A series of sonar images released on Saturday appear to show the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s plane, which disappeared on July 2, 1937. (snip) Neither her body nor her Lockheed 10-E Electra has ever been found, but a series of sonar images may finally shed light on this mystery. The team behind Deep Sea Vision said they’ve scanned more than 5,200 miles of seabed in and around the area where Earhart is thought to have disappeared. Now, they claim to have found what appears to be the wreckage of Earhart’s plane.

Biden remembers when he taught her how to fly. He's a great pilot, taught by Wilbur and Orville. He once said Lindberg, Yeager and Armstrong are two of his best students.

With the proper technology, many ships and airplanes that vanished in the ocean might be (and have been) identified. Until then, as Joni Mitchell wrote (and sang) in 1976, "Amelia, it was just a false alarm." Having survived a petrifying experience 37 miles from shore in a 28-foot cigatette boat in 12-foot seas--fortunately, with an experienced skipper--I can tell you that you're never more gone than when you're gone at sea.

I’m no expert but that is not the shape of an Electra. These wings are swept back. An Electra’s wings are straight. That could be any plane.

I really hope so. Now, what about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that went missing in the Indian Ocean in March 2014.

The shape of the tail looks like it could be an Electra, but the wings are odd. Maybe they got bent back on impact with the water. Was there ever a plane with swept wings and a straight tail?

They didn't "disappear shortly after take off". They flew hundreds of miles until their fuel was exhausted and put the aircraft down....on an island, reef or in the water somewhere. The best case made so far is for a reef adjacent to a small desert island. There have been some bone fragments and a rubber women's shoe heel that is of the era found on the island. Multiple sources heard weak radio transmissions many hours after the plane would have HAD to exhausted all fuel, so there is good indication that they were down and could radio for a few hours, at least.

They landed on an island but global warming (melting ice caps) put the island and the plane deep under water. /s

In win for Paxton, court declares $1.7
trillion federal omnibus was passed unconstitutionally
15 replies
Posted by Beardo 2/27/2024 9:25:52 PM Post Reply
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday secured a major victory in his challenge to the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package passed in 2022, with a court declaring that the bill was approved unconstitutionally. President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 in December of the prior year. The measure effectively set the federal budget for the year by wrapping the 12 annual appropriations bills into a single piece of legislation. Paxton, however, had argued that the House's passage of the measure was unconstitutional as less than half of the lower chamber's members were physically present to vote on it.

A judge has determined that Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer must tell the court what he knows about the special prosecutor’s relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis – a decision that could produce more bombshell testimony as defense attorneys seek to disqualify the DA from prosecuting the Fulton County election interference case. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s chambers notified attorneys in the case by email late Monday that certain communications Terrence Bradley had with Wade are not protected by attorney-client privilege, according to numerous people who read the email. Bradley could be compelled to testify as soon as Tuesday afternoon.

The Biden administration planted a Democrat operative inside a Fulton County office to target former President Donald Trump, multiple sources familiar with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office exclusively told Breitbart News. (snip) Breitbart News granted the sources anonymity to discuss the attorney’s office for fear of retribution. The sources have direct knowledge of the environment at the District Attorney’s Office, which they characterized as “corrupt.” (snip) “He’s the one. He is the one pulling all the strings. He was the one that walled her [Willis] off. He was in every important meeting. He is the brainchild behind this. That is the connection to the White House.”

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom could face another recall election in November if an effort to remove him gains enough signatures to get the measure on the ballot, Politico reported Monday. Rescue California, the group leading the recall effort over the state’s budget deficit and the governor’s national political ambitions, will serve Newsom with the paperwork Monday morning, according to Politico. Some of the same conservative activists organized a similar recall effort in 2021, when Newsom overcame his former presidential candidate and radio host Larry Elder by roughly 30 points.

Mary Poppins has had its age rating lifted from U to PG because it contains 'discriminatory language' - but the word in question is so obscure you may have never noticed it. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) now considers the 1964 tale of Julie Andrews' magical nanny to be not suitable for children to watch alone, despite the film enchanting generations of youngsters. The reclassification is due to the use of the word Hottentots. The dated term was historically used by Europeans to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but is now regarded as racially offensive.

The ruling marks a victory, though perhaps a temporary one, for conservative parents and school board members who implemented these policies against intense pressure from Governor Gavin Newsom, activist groups, and the media.

LGBT Pride Month isn’t until June, but planning is well underway. (snip) It’s been suggested that Christian Pride become a counter-weight to LGBT Pride. (snip) Nothing good ever comes from pride. “Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind,” wrote Oxford scholar and Cambridge Professor C.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity. If you think that’s a harsh assessment of pride, Reformed Christian theologian, R.C. Sproul, Jr. took the issue back to its biblical core. “Pride is what brought the devil down in the first place. It is then the root sin of sin, both for him and for us.”

A new stage production of the highly popular coming of age play Peter Pan will seek to eliminate some of the original songs for the Native American characters, to rewrite the scenes to offer Native Americans a “safe place,” and to cancel the “stereotypes” and “caricatures” of Native peoples. The latest Broadway revival has hired Lakota playwright Larissa FastHorse to rewrite the book for the new touring production because, in her words, the original play by J.M. Barrie “had caused harm to people.” “When you read the original material, it’s very hurtful, it’s blatantly hurtful."

For decades, American sports fans welcomed Bob Costas into their homes with open arms as he offered thoughtful commentary and analysis in regard to sports. That entire time, the veteran TV personality apparently held a deep personal hatred for so many of us. On Sunday during an interview on CNN, Costas referred to people who support former President Donald Trump’s bid for the White House — people who need immediate relief from inflation and illegal immigrant crime — as “toxic” and delusional.” The comments were made as the 71-year-old attacked Trump while speaking to network host Michael Smerconish.
The “Airman” Who Set Himself on Fire

If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions. Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed. The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. [SNIP] But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.

The Supreme Court will not throw Donald Trump off the ballot through some sort of deus ex MSNBCmachina, and Trump’s polls are improving while President Crusty’s are getting worse, so we face the real possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidency. Obviously, it’s not a done deal, but it is a bigger possibility than it used to be. Well, the Democrats are facing it, and now they’re trying to figure out how to stop him from taking office if and when he wins the election. This is a really bad idea. But of course, the Democrat Party is the Party of Bad Ideas, and the Party of Nanny Fascism.
