So the outgoing Biden controlled FBI can be relied upon but the incoming Trump controlled FBI cant be relied upon. Surly you can see the hypocrisy here. An entrapment attempt that according to the FBI failed. Which according to the FBI themselves he passed. Correct, nothing more than deranged liberal hyperbolic Ecco chamber in full effect.

Morning all. Feeling a bit more like myself this morning. Got back at 4am on Saturday, went to bed and woke up with the most horrendous case of man flu. Fortunately the oh avoided it and was fine to get back to the grindstone, I was clearly unlucky to be targeted by the killer disease like us chaps tend to be with these things. Touch and go but it seems I've survived once more. Best wishes to Peds with his continuing recovery. Thought of Ted a lot, especially when I was lacking sea legs on the ferry! Hope he's well. Have a good one folks.

Kash Patel cannot be relied upon for any kind of objectivity. Whether or not the operation was entrapment, if a prospective government official is prepared to take substantial bags of cash in exchange for promises that are abuse of any position they might hold, then it should exclude them from holding that position. It's effectively a character test. Though by the measure of the Trump administration, it's a character test he passed with flying colours. Corruption is the name of the game and there is no place within the Trump regime for principled public servants. Those that serve in Trump's regime serve Trump and only Trump. It's hard not to sound hyperbolic but the parallels to 1933 Germany are quite striking.

Morning, noticeably colder in the mornings now, overcast and dry here. Hope the others are ok and maybe just having a social media rest. Heading off to install some barriers for a customer to save them finding a new contractor and going through the procurement hassle, so may open another door for me. After we collect material then it’s truck stop for. Breaky

Tracking says tyres are here, so get them fitted and collect MOT, If not, I got to pay twice and get it retested! I pity Paul at the garage. He can only charge £54 for an MOT and some take over an hour and the garage up the road charge £95 an hour for labour and Mark up the parts too!

Nose Back to the grindstone after a weekend away. Burn of a few pints and hôtel breakfasts.

Good morning Arbtalkers 😊

Interesting quote, ""You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well would be taking a government position." Also directly from the very same FBI, "current FBI Director Kash Patel had ordered an investigation into the matter, which "found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing". Seems like the outgoing Biden ran FBI tried to entrap, failed and the incoming FBI said there is no case to answer. Seems like politcal games that failed. Its a non-story coming from the FBI themselves.

Good Morning Cool and Clear. New site today..surrey/hants. Have a good one.

Awake and thinking of what jobs to do! Tom's birthday today so offered to take him out but he would rather stop in and have sosige and mash, but may go to pub for a couple with him. Hope tyres for Focus get here to get the MOT finalised too. Glossing stair bits maybe too? Machinery show at Newark? Hmmm. Tay, Lam, Maid.

Whoever painted his boat race that morning forgot to match in his hands .

Interesting statement from Harris when she was running for POTUS. Maddow, who is openly gay herself, appeared pained by Harris’s statement that Buttigieg ‘would have been an ideal partner – if I were a straight white man.’ The tolerant left are homophobic? Who'd have thought? Rachel Maddow questions Kamala Harris about her Buttigieg remark - Internewscast Journal INTERNEWSCAST.COM Rachel Maddow pressed Kamala Harris about the former vice president's claims in her book regarding the potential 2024 campaign ticket with Pete Buttigieg,

Everything is a long time ago with us mate 😀

Morning troops . Clear as a bell and 5c . Have a good one !🙂

Any evidence of this J? What office did he hold at the time? Who was the POTUS at the time?

Great recap Andrew. Yes, you've gotta work with the tools you've got. Yes, been away for a while. Lost interest in all the bitching. I'll try to stick to the milling forums more. I've often done what you suggest, noodle the 30" logs down to a rough cant to get on my wee Logosol. Square it, then slab it. The center 6 slabs will be a mix of rift and quater sawn and if you wanted just 10" wide slabs just turn these 6 slabs upright on the bandsaw and cut in half. Id prefer keeping them 20", can always cut in half later if needed. My hope is to have saved enough by the end of the year to afford a Logosol B1001. That should get me an 800mm cant. Where abouts in Scotland are you?

The latest news regarding Tom Homan is amusing and depressing in equal measure. He was caught in an FBI sting taking $50,000 in cash in return for promises of immigration related contracts. Caught on film. Dead to rights. The Trump Regime response? "No he didn't - this is another example of the weaponisation of the Biden Justice Department". Their continued denial of reality when it doesn't suit them is quite remarkable. I'm not sure any other Western administration in recent decades (other than Israel) has such a flexible relationship with the truth.

hmm - the video presenter and most of the comments are like ' no way would a 30-06 round not go right through - some even suggesting the guy on the roof was a cover for another shooter with a lower powered rifle Martin Luther King was shot with the same calibre rifle and surgeons could feel the bullet inside him while they tried to save him At 6:01 pm, just as King was leaning over the railing, he was shot by a .30-06 high-powered rifle. He fell backwards immediately. The bullet entered on the right side of his face and neck, and he began bleedThey were able to palpate the bullet in King's left back, just medial to his left scapula. ing profusely from the neck wound. Andrew Young was one of the first individuals to attend to King. He initially thought King was dead, but felt a pulse. As King lay bleeding on the second floor balcony of the motel, his head was placed on a pillow, his wound was covered with a towel, and a blanket was placed on his torso. He demonstrated some movement of his mouth, but he did not speak after the shooting and quickly lost consciousness.19 As the surgeons further explored the wound they could see that the bullet had injured the spine at the C7 and T1 vertebral levels. The spinal cord was also transected at that site. They were able to palpate the bullet in King's left back, just medial to his left scapula.
