I AM LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE — AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE WRITING THE SCRIPT I have a confession. I have been doing this — writing, posting, arguing, educating — for over a year now. Over 51,000 posts. I have seen a LOT. I have watched Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) hold up a giant letter of the alphabet like a kindergarten teacher who wandered into a Speaker's podium. I have watched Adam Schiff read fabricated phone call transcripts into the Congressional Record — on the record, in the United States Congress — and then explain with a straight face that it was "parody." I have seen things. But this week? This week broke something in me. Not in a sad way. In a "am I being pranked?" way. --- LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT JUST HAPPENED --- Democrats refused to fully fund DHS. That includes TSA. You know — the people standing between your grandma and her carry-on and the security checkpoint. Congress controls that funding. Article I. Section 8. That is not my opinion, that is the DOCUMENT. The Constitution they claim to love so much it hurts. So the lines built. People missed flights. Airports started looking like the DMV on the last day of the month. TSA call-out rates at JFK hit FORTY-FOUR PERCENT. And who do Democrats blame? Donald Trump. The man who does not write the budget. The man who is not in Congress. The man whose job under Article II is to EXECUTE the laws, not write the checks. But sure. Him. Now here is where I started looking around for Rod Serling. ICE is funded. The same CR that left TSA short? ICE went through. So the president — and I want you to really absorb this — USED THE FUNDED AGENCY to fill the gap left by the unfunded one. Lines dropped. Average wait at Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta fell under 40 minutes. Travelers were making their flights. Problem mostly solved. The Democrats are FURIOUS. No — really. Furious. That the lines got shorter. That people made their flights. That the plan to strand Americans in airport terminals and blame Trump for the chaos... did not work. Quinn's Law Number 1: liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent. Every. Single. Time. --- THEN CORY BOOKER SHOWED UP --- Senator Cory Booker sprinted — physically ran — to an airport. Not to help. Not to push a funding solution through the Senate he sits in. No. He ran to a camera to deliver an impassioned speech about how ICE... is bad... at an airport where the lines just got shorter. He did not mention Stephanie Mentor. He did not mention a single American family torn apart by criminal illegal aliens who were here because the border was left open for four years under Biden's Autopen. He mentioned ICE. The agency that just helped people catch their flights. That one. I want to be very precise here because precision matters: Senator Booker, you had the power to fund TSA. You sit in the building where that happens. You chose not to. The lines built because of YOUR inaction. The lines shrank because someone used available resources to compensate for YOUR inaction. And you are angry about the shrinking. That is not a political disagreement. That is a man being upset that his plan to hurt people failed. --- HERE IS THE PART THAT SHOULD MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL --- This is not new. I need you to understand that. Barack Obama. Government shutdown. Open-air monuments — places with NO roofs, NO staff, NO maintenance costs — were physically barricaded. They put CONES on freeway pulloffs so you could not even slow down on the highway to look at Mount Rushmore through your car window. No operational reason. None. The only purpose was to make the pain of a government shutdown as visible and miserable as possible, so the political blame would land on Republicans. They spent money — actual taxpayer money and actual federal manpower — to make sure you suffered enough to demand the Democrats get what they wanted. They did not hate conservatives. They hated you. Regular Americans. Using you as leverage. Different year. Same party. Same play. And here we are again. Same script. Different airport. --- THE CODE PINK EPILOGUE --- I almost did not include this part because I was not sure anyone would believe it. The protesters who showed up OUTSIDE the Atlanta airport to rage against ICE — including Code Pink, the professional agitators — subsequently went on vacation. To Cuba. A communist country. Stayed in government hotels while actual Cuban citizens live without consistent electricity, cannot speak freely, and cannot leave. These are the people who were just screaming about oppression at the airport where the wait time fell under 40 minutes. I genuinely have run out of words. I tried to find them. They are not available. --- THE BOTTOM LINE, AND I MEAN IT --- The Democrats will not fund TSA. That is a choice they made. Congress controls the purse — Article I, Section 8 — and if you want to be angry at someone for the airport chaos, start THERE. The president used the resources available. It worked. Democrats raged. That is the whole story. I know it sounds too absurd to be real. I know it sounds like I am exaggerating for effect. I am a science teacher — exaggerating for effect is not actually my thing. Exaggerating for effect is what you do when you do not have the facts. I have the facts. Which is why I do not need to exaggerate anything. They do not want a solution. They want you scared, stranded, suffering, and looking to the government — specifically THEIR version of the government — as your only possible source of relief. That is the play. It has always been the play. And the only reason I am this angry about it is because it keeps working on people who do not know to look for it. Now you know. Look for it. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher and former Army combat medic who, unlike most of the people causing this mess, actually reads Article I before forming an opinion about who controls the budget. #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

Chord pulloffs🤤

1 month later before and after progress vid on the same solo One of the pulloffs and the last bit was sloppy but I'll clean it up by the time I make the guitar cover vid

Driving through the mountains is already terrifying for me without a bunch of RV's!!! The few times I've been out there I white knuckled those roads and looked at the pulloffs for runaway trucks and was just blown away. Lifetime at sea level has wrecked me!!

roy Clark- don't laugh. The guy was more than just a HeeHaw host. I watched him pick some difficult things like flight of the bumblebee without hammer ons or pulloffs. As a new teenage guitarist I could hardly believe what he could do! Then he moved to mandolin, then over to fiddle with similar skill. Never forget it.

smile 😍✅ spark ⚡️ ✅ grace🐉✅ Tarakaramudu easy pulloffs💥🥵🐅🐯 @tarak9999 @iHrithik @War2Celebration #ManOfMassesNTR #War2

When trucks travel downhill for sn extended period of time the brakes can overheat. When this happens they don't work properly. These are runaway truck pulloffs for truckers that are experiencing brake failure or other issues that would cause them to not be able to maneuver well.

The real OG were MGR, Raj kapoor and Kamalhaasan. These actors knew technical things and did some massive pulloffs

Scenic overlook U shaped pulloffs are a thing... I miss not having all these people here. Roads were fun, driving was fun. You could get places quickly or spend a day just driving all over the back roads and actually enjoy your home state. Now i stay home to avoid the tourists

Wea na q ver, kast tiene medida migratorias que hara que todos de vayan. Su programa se basa en lo que se le llaman "pulloffs", que son desincentivos a la migración como quitar acceso a servicios publicos o no der regularizado. Jara En cambio quiere regularizar, eso es incentivo

I prefer manual transmission. The auto transmission is always labouring in the wrong gear and has so much lag it can’t even remotely find the optimal fuel/performance sweet spot, but I can find it precisely without even thinking about it. My son and I both drive the same car, (3 cyl 1000cc turbo Ford ecosport) except his is automatic. I get 6.2litres per 100 km. He gets 8.3. And I get much sharper pulloffs and acceleration than he does when required.

None of these picture are wide angle enough to do the views justice. To begin (assuming you start out on the Capitol Reef side) you will drive up and over Lion Mountain. There are dozens of campsites and pulloffs where you can walk through a dozen feet of trees to capture photos, but there are also some excellent lookout points with parking lots. The picnic table above is at the steep creek overlook, which comes last, but there is also larb creek (no thai food sorry) and the single tree campground (badly misnamed) which has waterfalls during some times of the year.

N°5: #FranzFerdinand - Take Me Out "El éxito de 2004 de Franz Ferdinand, “Take Me Out”, es lo que pasa cuando un gran riff da origen a muchos más. Los rasgueos al estilo The Strokes en los versos preparan el terreno para un quiebre funky y acordes entrecortados que estallan en el icónico riff del coro, cargado de power-pop… y ese riff simplemente sigue y sigue, con sus deliciosos pulloffs y punteos principales. Toda la secuencia es maravillosa de principio a fin, y convirtió a Franz Ferdinand en una sensación de la noche a la mañana." (Jon Hadusek) consequence.net/list/best-gu…

One of the best highway pulloffs - Author: nightzombie100 #travel #nature #photography #wanderlust #explore

Getting loaded now. Gonna scale it when I leave here. I have just over 7hrs of drive time today. Gonna see if I can make the Petro north of Denver. If not, I know a few pulloffs on 287 near Fort Collins.

YES Bigger bottom end Also, the playability is night and day!!!! It's very responsive to hammer on, pulloffs, and Slides. It feels like playing an electric. You can bend these strings and it sounds so emotional. totally changed my perspective on gauge for acoustic

Pa ranjith is ballsy to cast marathi sivajirao as tamil and hardcord Marathi nana patekar as villain in anti shivsena, bjp/ tamil/his usual ideology movie . One of Impossible pulloffs in indian movie history, period. The dharavi rap scene is greatly depicted.

Ever wonder why Texas blues hits so hard? Those open B and E string riffs—bright, gritty, and dripping with soul—carry the Lone Star vibe from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Lightnin’ Hopkins.
