Background on the “loyal wingman” program here.
Suffice it to say, a handful of semi-autonomous loyal wingmen fighting alongside each piloted jet would be a great force multiplier. UAV wingmen could act as scouts, missile trucks, “attritable” ground strike bombers, or even as kamikazes against antiaircraft missiles targeted at the piloted aircraft.

JIM TREACHER: Dictionary.com Changes Definition of ‘Court Packing’ to Help Democrats.
As noted by George Orwell, George Carlin, and many others throughout history who may or may not have been named George, controlling language is a great way to control how people think. If there’s an idea going around out there that you don’t like, you tell people it’s forbidden to talk about it. But what if you can’t stop them from talking about it? Well, then you just change the meaning of what they’re talking about. If you can’t prove ’em wrong, you can always change the definitions of the words they’re using until you’re suddenly right.
For instance, let’s say you work for a prominent American political party that rhymes with “Them o’ brats.” And as always, you’re angry that there are actually people out there who disagree with you and you want them to shut up. You always want them to shut up. So, rather than engage with their argument and try to convince them of your point of view, you literally change the dictionary to prove them wrong.
Seriously. They’re doing that now.

Thought experiment. There are five Democrat justices on the Supreme Court. There was a Democrat president who just ran for reelection. He supposedly lost, but virtually all Democrat voters believe that massive fraud in several Republican controlled states caused him to lose. Many Democrat attorneys general file a lawsuit in the US Supreme Court, essentially identical to the one that is pending now.
Does anyone believe for a second that those five Democrat justices wouldn’t do absolutely anything necessary to make sure the Democrat control of the presidency was maintained? Democrats care about power. Democrats do not care about process, or rules. Now we are being asked to be so meticulous about adhering to the rules, that we are to allow a laughably egregious fraud to succeed, and to permit our own throats to be cut by turning over the executive branch to the people who just committed the biggest political crime in history. I hope five US supreme court justices will show just a tiny bit of the creativity, to put it politely, which Democrat justices had when they, for example, found an imaginary abortion right in the US Constitution. We’ll see what happens.

We hope to hold on to her at home for as long as we can.
This is day two of Kathy’s Fundraiser. We’ve had a wonderful response to date and both Kathy and I are very grateful.
We know it’s a big favour to ask but we have about $50,000.00 dollars left on our mortgage and hope to pay it down before its scheduled end in 2024. As many of you know my Sainted Irish Mother has been looked after by Kathy and I these past few years. Kathy worked from home allowing me to work outside. That has now ended and our financial situation has taken a huge hit. Eliminating the monthly mortgage payment will ease our financial situation considerably and allow Mom to be looked after at home while I work part time. LTC in Ontario is a Covid nightmare and not an option.
If you can help with a donation or already have we thank you. We know not everyone can but your kind wishes and prayers mean as much to us.
You can donate via the PayPal Kitty button on their blog’s sidebar or via Interac email transfer to [email protected].

THIS CALLS FOR A LAWSUIT AND MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Stars and Stripes: Minority veterans to receive priority for coronavirus vaccines. What do I mean by civil disobedience? White and Asian veterans should sign up for vaccines as Native American, Hispanic or African-American. It’s hard to think of anything more un-American (and unconstitutional) than the government favoring one group of veterans over another based on race.
UPDATE: When the possibility of distributing Covid vaccines by race first reared its head over the Summer, I wrote:
There are obvious dangers to allocating medical resources by race … especially in a politically sensitive an area such as vaccines, where the public is already all-too-prone to accept various conspiracy theories and quackery that leads them to oppose vaccination. Instead of expanding the use of race in this way, science and medicine should be moving away from considering race and ethnicity at all.
VIDEO: Replay: SpaceX attempts Starship SN8 high-altitude launch test. A friend in the industry (not at SpaceX) writes on Facebook:
That was so totally awesome that awesome needs to be extended in meaning.
Starship made it through almost the entire set of test items on the check list. I am still just mindblown by what I’ve just watched. In-effing-credible.
According to Elon, the one fault in the test was insufficient pressure in the header tank for the landing burn. If not for that they’d have checked off the final item on the list.
No doubt that SN-9 will do it all… the only fault they had was a trivial one to fix.
All correct. But that said, there was an explosion at the end. But SpaceX isn’t afraid to blow things up on the path to getting it right, which is a huge advantage to progress.

NOTHING SAYS “EVERYTHING HERE IS ABOVEBOARD” LIKE CENSORING ALL CRITICISM: Covid and the New Age of Censorship: It doesn’t promote public health when media and tech companies stifle scientific debate.
Information has never been more plentiful or easier to distribute. Yet we are sliding into a new age of censorship and suppression, encouraged by technology giants and traditional media companies. As someone who’s been falsely characterized as a coronavirus “denier,” I have seen this crisis firsthand.
Since June, Amazon has twice tried to suppress self-published booklets I have written about Covid-19 and the response to it. These booklets don’t contain conspiracy theories. Like the scientists who wrote the Great Barrington Declaration, I simply believe many measures to control the coronavirus have been damaging, counterproductive and unsupported by science.
Amazon has said earlier that “as a bookseller, we believe that providing access to the written word is important, including books that some may find objectionable.” The company sells “Mein Kampf” and “The Anarchist’s Cookbook.” But when it comes to Covid, Amazon has a different standard. At least half a dozen other authors have emailed me that their books have been pulled. Amazon won’t disclose how many, or other details about how it picks books to censor.
Google-owned YouTube censors even more aggressively. The company disclosed in October that it had pulled more than 200,000 videos about the epidemic—including one from Scott Atlas, a physician who was advising President Trump. Facebook has not only censored videos and attached warning labels or “fact checks” to news articles, but removed groups that oppose lockdowns and other restrictions.
That online entertainment and retail companies have benefited financially from lockdowns adds to the ugliness of their suppression efforts. Interestingly, Apple —whose mobile business means it gains less than other big tech companies—has been less aggressive.
Tech companies aren’t alone in their efforts to stifle debate. Traditional news outlets, book publishers and even scientific journals are reluctant to publish information that challenges ideological orthodoxies. The Danish authors of a study on whether masks protect their wearers from coronavirus struggled for months to get it published, despite its obvious public-health importance. When they finally convinced a journal to print the paper, which showed that masks didn’t appear to protect their wearers, the journal’s editor felt compelled to write a piece defending her decision to run it.
News organizations then treated the study’s findings with a skepticism absent from the coverage of most other peer-reviewed scientific research.
If you want to be trusted, be trustworthy. Nothing about this inspires trust.

IN FAREWELL SPEECH, UDALL SAYS SENATE HAS BECOME ‘GRAVEYARD FOR PROGRESS:’
Senator Tom Udall urged his colleagues on Tuesday to kill the legislative filibuster that he said had helped turn the Senate into a “graveyard for progress,” using his farewell speech to point up a state of dysfunction in Congress that had become painfully obvious to most everyone listening to him.
“I’m not the first to say this in a farewell address, and I won’t be the last, but the Senate is broken,” Mr. Udall, Democrat of New Mexico, said on Tuesday in what is likely his final speech after 12 years in the deeply divided institution.
“The Senate is broken,” he repeated for emphasis.
For months, Americans have watched in anger as Congress remained mired in partisan paralysis over more pandemic relief, allowing unemployment benefits to lapse as many suffer from joblessness. Fewer people approve of the job lawmakers are doing in Washington than at almost any time in recent history. And the government watchdog group Common Cause ranked the current Congress the “least productive in history,” noting that only about 1 percent of bills introduced became law.
