What's that about an insurrection?

Inciting a riot?

Spreading the big 'lie'?

"illegitimate"?

"Objecting to a 'legitimate' election"?

​Questioning electronic voting machines?

Why and how do these people keep getting elected?  Who is the clown with the gavel?
Well, they are all clowns....and take your tax dollars at gun point....and you keep voting for more of it......why?

Harbor Freight is good for quite a few things, I just wouldn't buy anything there that I made money with or trusted my life with.

However, they offer good deals on cabinets, demo tools, tarps, and hobby equipment.

Slowly reaching the end of the internet during the 2020 Quarantine, and saw this nifty little trick for dealing with stubborn brake bleeder screws:

Some bleeder screws won't budge...and most just reach for the vise grips first thing.....but that should be the SECOND thing you reach for. Using vise grips alone  will 99% of the time result in rounding off or otherwise destroying the bleeder screw, so a new one will need to be purchased.  Lame.

So grab a proper brake flare wrench first, then, if the bleeder still won't break free (they are quite often very stubborn), then add a little pressure with the vice grips.   That will help keep the wrench from spreading apart and loosing its grip.  On, and a little penetrating oil won't hurt either,

You're welcome.

Car designers are not scared to do dumb stuff.  Most of the time, for no reason at all....adding features or elements that add nothing to the functionality or reliability or pleasantness of the vehicle.  Just to do it to do it....keeps them in a job I guess.

The first time I noticed this newest mind boggling accent.....the cheap black plastic wheel well arches, was on the updated Lexus RX 350.  Once a fantastic all around  crossover with clean lines and unmatched reliability, which proved to be one of the marque's best sellers.

Then, in addition to the overstyled grill that ages horribly, they added black plastic exaggerated wheel well arches....something you'd see on a down market model.  What were they thinking?

2015:

2019:​

The fender outlines are cheap black plastic....and is seen on all trim levels.  This is a $50k vehicle.  The tires now look too small, thanks to the illusion that the wheel wells are much larger.  What purpose does this serve?   It's busier, more complicated, and cheap looking.

Then, I started noticing it on most newer crossovers....the Ford Explorer being the most egregious offender.  Take a look at the 2020 LIMITED....not base.....LIMITED.

What is going on?  It's cheap looking, visually deceptive, and on most colors, makes the tires look too small.   So why?

Keep an eye out.....you won't be able to un-see it.

How pathetic, ignorant, and out of touch can one person possibly be?  Yet he still has one laser focus agenda: pander to his fellow ignorant, uneducated people.  

You may have heard about the very large baseball salary deal this past week for Gerrit Cole.  Maybe you haven't, but the details aren't that important.  

What you need to know, is that Bernie Sanders, a confused hypocritical man running for president, seems to think that there is a relation to how much a privately employed entertainer is paid to how much public school teachers are paid.

THIS MAN HAS SUPPORTERS!  PEOPLE SEND HIM MONEY!   IT'S MADNESS!

What is he talking about?  Who is this 'we'?

Mr. Cole's boss pays him what he wants to pay him.   It has nothing to do with how much teachers are paid...and in many cases, teachers are paid more than $60k.  Quite a few variables have to be factored in....area of the country, years of service, level of education, etc.  Such ridiculous statements are dishonest and dangerous.  

How low can you go Bernie?  Just keep promising more stuff and money to people that don't fully understand the American economy, just like yourself.  It won't get you anywhere.

So Richard Branson, of Virgin Enterprises, has partnered with a commuter train operation in Florida.  It seems to be going relatively well, with plans to expand the high speed service in other markets.  He's even visited the States to take a ride on the Florida train.  

There is just one problem, drunk, stoned impatient, and disturbed people are getting taken out by it at an elevated rate.

Branson's deal seems to be paying off for everyone and is a positive thing for the economy and commuters....but the mouth breathing headline writer focuses on deaths that are in no way the train or operator's fault?

The author, after writing:
" The majority have been suicides, while most others involved impatient motorists, pedestrians or bicyclists who misjudged the trains’ speed and ignored bells, gates or other warnings. Drugs, alcohol or both have been found in many victims’ systems."

Then states:
"Why Brightline has so many deaths is unclear; other area railroads haven’t had nearly as many."

I think it's pretty obvious why there are more deaths on this particular train route. Don't you? When did we get this lazy?  Has the demand for content driven people this loopy and inattentive to what they are even typing?  I hope the author can concentrate enough to get across the street safely.

I've wondered that very thing, but it never really bothered me enough to look it up, even though its a household name..even gun people know what it is.  (an evil assault rifle probably)

Well, not surprisingly, it's named after the guy that had the idea and made it a reality.  From Israel no doubt.  Major Major Uziel Gal

Now that you know that, enjoy this Hickhock45 video putting an Uzi, suppressed and non-suppressed, through it's paces.

Let's go ahead and say it out loud, because some don't know it yet.  
The president doesn't care about you.
The Vice President doesn't care about you.
The Governor of your state doesn't care about you.
The Mayor of your town doesn't care about you.
The local Elected Sherrif doesn't care about you.
None of your elected officials, who have the power to take your property, your children, or your life if they deem it neccessary, care about you.
But they care when those ever increasing taxes aren't paid.

Need proof?  Keep reading.

Recently, in a small former Tobacco farming town in North Carolina, a piece of trash, no doubt hammered on Bud Light, drove his vehicle at 100 mph into the back of a stopped minivan, killing a grandmother and a teenager.  Two local proud North Carolinians that did not deserve to die.  The worst part?   The above mentioned criminal is in this country illegally, can't speak English, and only sprained his wrist.  Why is he in this country illegally you might say, while bashing your head on the wall?   Well, go back up and start reading from the top.  None of your elected officials care about YOU or your family as long as you are a legal citizen who keeps to themselves, takes care of family, and asks the government for nothing.  Some claim they are going to do something about the invasion, but it's obvious nothing but talk.  Some are a bit more ballsy and just flat out welcome the invasion, to hell what the vast majority of the population thinks, as to not offend one person. 

For example, the recent elected pandering goon sherrif of Wake County NC had the guts to say out loud that he would not be cooperating with ICE officials in order to notify them about any illegals that are arrested.  All ICE is requesting is to notify them and hold the....keyword here......CRIMINAL, until ICE can come get them or process them.  This is a process that keeps hard working, tax paying legal citizens of all races safer in a variety of ways.  To end that because you value votes over the safety of the majority of the population tells me all I need to know about that spineless man.

Oh, and guess who is going to be paying to feed, clothe, house, this illegal invader killer, who also needs a tax payer funded lawyer and interpreter?  Don't worry, I'll wait.....

Just imagine if the innocent people, cut down by an illegal foreign invader, had been Nancy Pelosi's sister and grandchild......or Chuck Schumer's......or Barack Obama's....or Trumps.....or anyone's relative that has turned a blind eye to this scurge.  Would something be done then?   Nothing will change unitl it benefits your elected official.

Or it could have been you and your son that was taken out.   Then who will care? 
Sure, people commit crimes in this country every single day.....but at least in this instance, it was 100% without a doubt preventable.   Every single person in elected and appointed office up to this very day has blood on their hands.  These people's blood is only the most recent.  Rest in peace Marjory Howell Wagner Regan and Ethan Michael Handly.

Picture this:  You're on strike from your trucking job.    You have some day time beers with a co-worker.  You decide to go shoot at and disable the trucks still running in spite of the strike, but you hit a truck carrying dynamite (or ammonium nitrate..whatever) and you blow out windows twelve miles away.  OOPS.

49 years ago that happened, and left a 40 foot crater in the middle of an interstate in Missouri.  And killed the driver....just trucking along.

Might be time to put the beers down.

Guy Martin.  Son of an engine builder, went on to become a Lorry (truck and bus) mechanic.  No big deal.

He also happens to be one of the fastest ever a motorcycle at the Isle of Mann track.  No small feat.  All while holding down his day job.

It's no surprise, then, that he likes to go fast.  His car resume is as you'd expect....M3, 911, Aston Martin, Volvo Amazon.   Yep, an Amazon.   The fastest car in Britain.

Thanks to the UK's "The Sunday Times" Driving Section, we get a small taste of Guy's (down to earth) life,  some details on the 40 year old Volvo wagon, and how it takes on all opponents.  

What a great story.
