In The News Today...

This ruling still holds.

Quote:

In 2015, in a 5-to-4 decision in Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans, the court ruled that Texas could refuse to allow specialty license plates bearing the Confederate battle flag because the plates were the government’s speech and were thus immune from attacks on First Amendment grounds.

Uh oh. Both ABC and Fox are reporting their
sources inside the special council on Trump
are reporting that so far they haven't even
made the decision to investigate anything,
they are still gathering information as
to whether there is anything to investigate.
So far they've come up with squat.

ABC reported it yesterday and today:

"Fox News reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has made no final decision on Trump or if Comey’s firing is even worthy of being investigated. Fox News is citing one of their legal sources, unnamed.'

Keep kicking those stones over, though. lol

Good. A long drawn out investigation is better for Dems.

And worse for Donald's mental state....

It looks like Ford is not concerned about the ability of the administration to implement a border adjustment tax.

The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker said in a news release it will move the production of the Ford Focus from the U.S. to China in a move that will save the company $1 billion. These savings include the scrapping of the all-new facility of Mexico that was announced earlier in the year.

They say there won't be job losses, since those jobs and the factory in question will be put to other use, but it is a whole lot of job growth that will be happening in China instead of here.

Yeah I saw Vegas was going to be hellishly hot next week as well.

We've got a lot of aviation experts on these boards... at what point would the extreme temperatures start canceling flights?

Today. Articles show flights cancelled for Sky Harbor. When temperatures are above 117 degrees, there is a risk of not having enough runway to lift off. Bombardier CRJ planes have a maximum operating temperature of 117; the bigger jets run in the mid-120s.

Why planes can't fly in heat

An airplane wing never encounters theoretical air. Formulas based on infinite wing length, standard humidity, etc. paintless and dentless wings, insectless wings, etc. are abstractions to make the math easier. They don't exist.

Density altitude can be dangerous.

Even the scientologists are jumping on the London fire disaster.

That destroyer/container behemoth collision involved failure to release news, incorrect time of the event by over an hour, forcible ejection of sailor and seizure of his cell phone. Container ship was broadcasting its AIS posiiton which destroyer could display. Looks like more than mere inattention.

Hmmmm, I will have to ask my brother how this affects them in Qatar. I assume that place just has enough runway.

Ford will soon have another near-death experience. Repeating their mistakes of the past. Dropping billions into "mobility" since they are thinking they are not a car company, they are a "mobility" company. They last went off course late-1990s/early 2000s. Back then the great-grandson decided he would rather be "liked" by the enviros than make money on profitable vehicles.

USA might have no local car companies within 20 years. I predict GM will eventually be gobbled up by VW. Signs are there.
