When Obama nominated Tom Daschle -- a congressional leader with three decades of experience working on federal health care policies -- to be HHS secretary, the senator had to withdraw because a donor provided him with a car.

If only he'd beheaded a whale!

Another day on Blue Sky, still no flat-Earthers or other reality-deniers around here. 👍

Let us celebrate with another set from my aviation photography portfolio.

This was the evening 2024 Oregon International Airshow.

The Sun. Taken at night. Not looking up at sky but down through 8000 miles of the Earth. Not with light but neutrinos

Continuing my aviation photography posts until some flat-Earther or other reality-denier shows up here.

USAF Thunderbirds F-16C solo sneak pass at Nellis AFB. November 2019.

I generally post two kinds of content.

1. Aviation photography

2. Debunking of science-denial

Since I don’t see any flat-Earthers around spreading their nonsense I guess I’ll re-post some of my photography.
