Will somebody explain how those who loudly promote the 2nd Amendment as an antidote for government overreach simultaneously cheer federal secret police and armed troops on U.S. soil?

Over 90°F with high humidity in New Orleans (what else is new?) but great turnout for #NoKingsDay. Here my wife displays a sign we co-created.

Last Delgado Dolphins home game of the season (vs. Baton Rouge Community College). Listen live dolphinradio.org (I'm producing/engineering)

I'm proud to honor the "No Buy Friday" boycott. Of course, I also have yet to get out of bed, so....

Just as the night follows the day, First Felon supporters on social media will respond to reasoned arguments and critical thinking like a toddler with Daddy's iPhone: "🤣🤣🤣🤣" Ignorance is curable; smug, arrogant ignorance? Not so much....

Happy 2025 to all, especially the people I've never met who, for some inexplicable reason, follow me here. Here's hoping your new year is utterly peachy!

I have an account at a wholesaler that sells computer networking gear. Went by for some Ethernet jumpers for my community radio station. Noted they were made in China, and said the $11 pack could be $22 next year. Clerk replied with glee, "Yeah, but then you can charge your client $44!"

Sigh...

At first I thought it odd that strangers would "follow" me on here and I would follow 'em back, but then I realized I've kinda been doing something similar since my first 40m CW QSO back in '68. Then I thought, "1968? Geez, I'm old!" Next thing I'll be rambling on about bodily functions on 75m!

"Moving on" and "putting the election behind us" is kumbaya BS. It's as if your ne'er-do-well brother-in-law set up a meth lab in your living room and relatives say you shouldn't kick his skeevy @$$ out because he's "an entrepreneur" and doing so would "hurt family unity."

Wowsers! Ham radio stuff on social media without the taint of 7.200 or 14.313 wafting about? 73 de K5IQ
