LOTS OF FOLKS (including me) didn't read the instructions for the drones they got for Christmas. Rule 1 is "don't fly them near trees."
IT TOOK UNTIL TODAY for the mainstream media to pick up this story; the MSM-reviled Breitbart News published it the day it happened.
A ROUNDUP OF ILLEGAL GUNS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. PROVES TELLING: strict gun control laws don't control illegal guns.
Kind of obvious when you stop to think about it, but then D.C. denizens have never proved too strong on thinking....

SCREAMIN' DINGO wins first place in international aircraft design competition.
The 2016 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Undergraduate Team Aircraft Design Competition called for aerobatic light sport aircraft meeting certain criteria. A combined team of aerospace engineering students from KU and Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology answered with its design for the Screamin’ Dingo.Will someone please build one for me?
The small plane comes in one- or two-seater models, can be built by the buyer or the manufacturer, and features detachable wings so the plane can be put on a trailer and driven to the runway if needed.
A GREAT IDEA: Drug testing floated for White House press corps. I particularly liked the update about giving them more anti-psychotics.
WE'VE REMOVED SMOG FROM AMERICAN CITIES; now it's time to remove smug. Take note of the heavy dose of 'conservatives are evil' projection in the minds of the progressives.

TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT threatens to cut funding to [Travis] county over sanctuary city policies.
Heh. Travis county is essentially Austin, my former home. Follow through, Gov. Abbott, follow through. Make Austin livable again.

'DIGITAL HEROIN' AND 'ELECTRONIC COCAINE': Medical experts say addiction to technology is a growing concern.
It reads to me as another case of 'experts' searching for another non-problem to interfere with.

MY THOUGHT EXACTLY: “Next time we have a peaceful transfer of power, can there be less of it to transfer, please?”

THE U.S. AIR FORCE'S MYSTERIOUS X-37B SPACE PLANE has now spent 600 days in Earth orbit on the vessel's latest mission, and is nearing a program record for longest time spent in space.
AMERICA'S REACTION to the tyranny of the so-called experts.
America’s elite – that collection of puffed up mediocrities who until recently held the undisputed command of the heights of our politics and culture – is in crisis. Its unbroken track record of failure has finally stirred the rest of America from its coma. The normals are now hella woke, and the elitists are being hella rejected. Unused to accountability, the elite is in a tizzy over the way people are not only blaming it for its myriad failures but are taking concrete steps to restrict its power. It’s not just electing Donald Trump. It’s ignoring the media, ignoring Hollywood stars, and ignoring the cabal of “experts” who presume to tell us how to live.No, it's well past time....
And it’s about time.
ANOTHER MIDNIGHT REGULATION: the Obama Energy Department just outlawed your three-way bulb. So I'll just start using 150 watt (lumen equivalent) bulbs in all my 3-way lamps.
