FROM J. M. ANJEWIERDEN:  Running Black.

An explosion is only the beginning of her problems…

Morgan is finally back to work, having returned from her disastrous attempt at a vacation just in time to watch an accident cause a massive explosion on one of the other freighters.

With the damaged ship out of commission it is up to the crew of STEVE – Morgan included – to frantically get the cargo transferred and depart more than a month ahead of schedule. But what Morgan doesn’t know is that the assassination attempts were only the beginning.

Missed maintenance isn’t the only, or worst, danger lurking out in the black.

I’m not hesitant at all. I will not take it, period. Their demand I take it is all out of proportion with its lethality even for someone like me. I will not be their dancing monkey. They can go fish.

NOT WAY HIGHER THAN I EXPECTED:  Windham, New Hampshire, Auditor Says 60% Error Rate “Way Higher Than We Expected” – President Trump Reacts.

And, Mr. President? The reason the squishes aren’t doing anything about this, the reason they’re still mouthing off about “riots” on the sixth of January? They think they’re safe. As you and I both know, they’re very stupid. Perhaps as stupid as the left.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH. SHE SHOULD FLOG HERSELF:  Whitmer Apologizes for Breaking Her Own COVID Protocols.

AND THE GOVERNORS WHO ALLOWED THEM TO STAY THERE THAT LONG NEED TO BE SHAMED:  National Guard Starts Departing D.C. This Week After Four Months.

All day, every day and twice on Sunday.
Of course, this means the Junta think they’re safe. The Junta are very, very, very dumb.

OKAY, FOR THE RECORD, CHINESE SCIENCE SUCKS:  A Disturbing Review of Stolen and Failing Chinese Technology.

Ask anyone in scientific fields, or anyone who has to work with “scientists” from China. What is meant by science there is not the same as here, and habits of totalitarianism mean that free and open reporting is impossible.

If it were, Europe would be a crime-free paradise. And no, whatever you heard, it’s not. It’s by and large far worse than here.
