This lawsuit by @ChildrensHD exposes the urgent need for real accountability in pediatric care. My patent-pending Medical Accountability Program (MAP)—an add-on to my DODAT patent (US 12,192,307)—tracks decisions, outcomes, and patient reports transparently to prevent coercion and build trust. Let’s reform healthcare! #MedicalAccountability #MAHA

RE: The Way of War of Our Enemies In every hot war the United States has become involved in since the Korean War, we have enjoyed absolute tactical and operational dominance over our enemies. We win every tactical engagement, overwhelmingly. Operationally we can and do dominate any theater of our choosing. No one—and I mean NO ONE—can stand toe to toe with the US military. This has been true for decades. We’ve talked before about the elements of national power—the “DIME” (Diplomacy, Informational, Military, Economic). Our military power is unsurpassed. We are masters of diplomacy. We have the world’s strongest economy. So how do we lose? The INFORMATIONAL component. Our military opponents, from Ho Chi Minh to Osama bin Ladin, knew that the only way to defeat the USA is to demoralize the American populace such that it demands withdrawal and throws the then current Commander-in-Chief out of office. The ONLY way to defeat America militarily is to convince the American people that a war is unwinnable. The slow dribble of IED deaths in OIF was not actually targeting soldiers and Marines—it was targeting YOU, the American people. And CNN eagerly complied with death counts running across the bottom of the screen. The Tet Offensive? It was a decisive US victory that could have ended the Vietnam War in our favor. But Walter Cronkite instead declared the war lost, protests erupted nationwide, and the war was lost. The Highway of Death in Kuwait? We could have taken out Saddam Hussein in 1991 and never needed to go back in 2003, but international media made the attack on retreating Iraqis look “too cruel,” so we halted just short of the finish line. The strategic imperative of every one of America’s military enemies is to break the will of the American people with skewed information, propaganda, and extreme emphasis on America’s minor losses amidst overwhelming military victory. But the Ho Chi Minhs and Osama bin Ladins can’t do that by themselves. They need willing partners in the American media and government. And for Operation Epic Fury, boy oh boy do the Iranian mullahs have an over abundance of American morale killers to draw from in order to defeat America through the informational instrument of national power. Tucker Carlson. Senator Mark Kelly and the rest of the Seditious Six. CNN. ABC. NBC. CBS. NYT, WaPo. Pakistani bot armies on social media. X “influencers” like Cerno, Candace, MartyrMade and Ian Carroll. Every idiot claiming we are fighting “Israel’s war." There is an entire Army of American politicians and media figures who are willingly fighting Iran’s informational war on its behalf (and in some cases, at its behest). America is DECISIVELY WINNING the war on Iran in every measurable respect. Yet there are so many influential Americans who are desperately determined to make you believe otherwise. In days of old in non-US countries, such people would have been strung up for treason. Thankfully it’s 2026 and we have a First Amendment, so no one fear being treated in such a medieval manner. But we can still ostracize and ridicule such people and sources for the irreparable harm they are wreaking upon the USA as they do the bidding (intentionally or unintentionally) of Theo-fascist mullahs who are determined to set off a nuclear bomb so that the Twelfth Imam will arise from a well in Qom and precipitate the global apocalypse. We all need to choose sides. Are you with America, or are you with theologic-inspired, deliberate Armageddon? And anyone who chooses the latter needs to be the target of mockery, derision and clearly-stated facts disproving their lies. And if YOU are an American Patriot, you can fight that informational war on America’s behalf, right now, right here on social media, right there in your own living room. Your voice matters, and your voice is actually a part of the war. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

A soldier ran up to a nun. Out of breath, he asked, "Please, may I hide under your skirt? I'll explain later." The nun agreed. A moment later, two Military Police ran up and asked, "Sister, have you seen a soldier?" The nun replied, "He went that way." After the Military Police ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, "I can't thank you enough, sister. You see, I don't want to go to war in Iran." The nun said, "I understand completely." The soldier added, "I hope I'm not being rude, but you have a great pair of legs!" The nun replied, "If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a great pair of balls... I don't want to go to Iran either!"

Back in 2011, I got the latest Garmin Suite in my newly rebuilt C421CW. We’re on our Naples - JAX route. I’m left seat, the insurance check pilot right seat. DOD decides this is a good time to jam GPS . Everything in the nave suite PFD MFD etc goes blank. There was a cloud bank below us. The insurance check pilot guy freaks out. I pounce. Hey asshole where are we besides NORAD? He doesn’t know. What are we gonna do?! You go in the back, I know where we are. Incidentally, the transponder was tuned through the GTN750, the latest and greatest. It’s all blank. I’ve got a compass, AI Altimeter and ASI. I said go in the pouch in the seat back on the right passenger seat and grab the hand held. He does, I execute a right turn towards the Atlantic Ocean and initiate a gentle decent. He says, what are you doing? I say, while you were playing check pilot I know where we are. We’re north of Daytona and that where we’re going. I penetrated the cloud layer at about 8000ft. Continue until I broke out and did a 180° turn until I found the coast. Then I turned south. I had paper charts and I say look up Daytona Tower and call them and tell them we’re along the coast north of them. They had us as a primary target. Tell them we’re went NORAD an we’d like to land and figure out why. That dipstick Check pilot, thinks we’re gonna get busted. I’ll handle it. Sure as heck I gotta call the tower chief and I tell him what happened. No violation. Later the GPS on our iPhones starts working and I fire up the bird and everything is fine. A few weeks later Garmin writes a service bulletin to update software in all our units because their software can’t divide 0 by 0 and default was to shut down everything. Nice, we were lucky this problem was over flat Florida. Beware of the latest and greatest.

The 747’s flightdeck sits so high up off the ground that it truly is close to impossible to accurately ascertain the jet’s true ground speed while taxiing which is of the outmost importance with a jet that size especially during 90° or tighter turns. I’ve never flown a jet without ground speed displayed on either the Navigation Display or the Primary Flight Display (or on both) or on the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) on the older 757s and 767s. Question for the wise elders… How did you monitor ground speed during taxi? I’ve seen the control interface unit for the Inertial Reference Units (INS) of yesteryear, did you monitor ground speed through there? How about jets before that without INSs? Just seat of the pants?

A lawyer representing a wealthy art collector called him and said, “John, I have some good news and some bad news.” The art collector replied, “I’ve had an awful day. Let’s hear the good news first.” The lawyer said, “I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she invested $1,500 in two pictures that she thinks will bring a minimum of $15–20 million. I think she could be right.” John replied enthusiastically, “Well done! My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You’ve just made my day. Now I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?” The lawyer replied, “The pictures are of you and your secretary.”

So, if the so-called First Nations want "their" land back, do they have to give back all the modern conveniences thwt come with western life? Their clothes, shoes, heat, electricity, cars and so on?

@WallStreetMav This happened in Minneapolis too. The Ameriprise building sold for $6mm when it had previously sold for $200mm.

Juul paid $400 million for this S.F. tower in 2019. It is now valued at between $90 million to $100 million. This building at 123 Mission St is located in the once prestigious heart of San Francisco’s Financial District. Crime, drugs, poop on sidewalks and homelessness have made the once desirable area a disaster. In addition, the exodus of jobs and business have created so many vacancies, that getting new business tenants is nearly impossible. The building is mostly empty while the new owners consider their options.

Air Safety #OTD by Francisco Cunha
This was a narrow escape
TimNaples@TimNaples

On 14 April 1964, just after takeoff from Essendon, ANSETT-ANA DC-6B VH-INA (Flight AN216) lost the entire propeller assembly from its No. 3 engine at just 200 feet. A blade broke off due to metal fatigue, causing the rest of the propeller to tear away and nearly rip the one-tonne engine from its mountings. Suddenly, the aircraft was experiencing severe drag, power loss, and a dangerous pull to one side, requiring immediate action from the crew. Oil sprayed the fuselage as lines ruptured, and propeller debris rained down on North Essendon (one blade piercing a house roof, the others landing harmlessly in a backyard). Miraculously, no one on the ground was hurt. Captain Keith Hants and his crew, with 57 passengers on board, faced an aviator's test of skill and calm. With the damaged engine barely hanging on, the DC-6B struggled to climb and just cleared the suburbs of Melbourne, heading out over Port Phillip Bay. The crew circled the bay, dumping fuel to lighten the plane for an emergency landing, while a second aircraft was dispatched to assess the damage from the air. This was to consume and also dump fuel to reduce the aircraft’s weight before attempting the planned emergency landing back at Essendon, and to prepare for a possible ditching in the event of further complications. Fortunately, being an autumn weekday, the number of pleasure watercraft on the bay below the stricken airliner was minimal. At 1.30 pm, the crew began jettisoning fuel over the bay. At 2 pm, DC-3 VH-ING took off from Essendon, with Captains John Blair & Peter Gibbes (the latter being the ANSETT-ANA Director of Operations), certain DCA personnel & ANSETT-ANA maintenance engineers. The DC-3 was flown alongside VH-INA to examine the damage. Landing with the engine barely attached was too risky, so after tense manoeuvres, the crew managed to shake it free and drop it into the bay below. Lightened and finally safe, they returned to Essendon and landed without further incident (94 dramatic minutes after takeoff). A cheering crowd welcomed the crew and passengers home, with even Reginald Ansett himself on the tarmac to congratulate them—a demonstration of calm professionalism and a little luck in the skies over Melbourne almost 62 years ago.
