In Viet Nam days, when a carrier transited to the Philippines, the Russians would send a TU-95 Bear to take recon photos of the ship.  It was greeted by two fighters with an Alert 5 standing by.  On my second deployment the Captain was a mustang and tough as nails.  He invited all who wanted to come to the flight deck and "flip" the plane the "international sign of peace."  I wonder what their intelligence people thought when they saw 1,000 men flipping off the Bear?

The State of California has been cooking the books for so long that the books have transitioned from "hammered" to "whole burnt offering". $$ gets shuffled from one budgetary area to another. Gas tax and DMV fee $$ that should be used for road/highway building and maintenance has been funneled into Sacred Mass Transit boondoggles for decades (think Moonbeam 1.0). Teachers' and state employees' pension funds have been underfunded for decades.

This is a big part of why I was and am so POed that R Mo-o-o-o-o-oooooooderates ego-stroked Ahnold the RINO into running for governor in the Gray Davis recall. State Rep Tom McClintock would have won instead, and he knew where every budgetary skeleton-closet was and where every budgetary body was buried. Ahnold the RINO was a budgetary invertebrate!

Will Biden and the Democrats accept their loss should they lose?
