A little bit off the sides
Well, it turns out that Trump’s new ballroom is going forward. In the process he has removed the old east wing. A bit more than expected.
The rumor mill suggests that they located major security issues when they tore down the portico, leading to a larger project.
Regardless, this sounds much nicer than a private basketball court or an empty cutlery cabinet.
Supreme Court and DOJ
The DOJ has requested that the Supreme Court pause consideration of cert for an 18-20 year-old. This could be because they expect the two cases currently before the court to resolve the issues of 18-20 year-olds.
I am cautiously optimistic about our chances before the Supreme Court this term.
Ball Joints Eat Tires
The ball joints in my wife’s Jeep have been failing. They were on the work to be done list for the next oil change.
Yesterday they were changed.
It wasn’t that they had gotten that much worse; it was that my wife decided her car was unsafe to drive.
While the ball joints were still “OK” for small values of OK, both front tires were badly worn on the inside 1/3. Like showing steel worn.
We have the tires at the house, I’ll get the tires changed today.
Holsters
The We The People holster I’ve been wearing for a week now is nice. Nicer than I expected.
I’ve become used to the pad to protect my tender skin. This holster doesn’t have that pad.
And still it is more comfortable. The firearm seats with a better fit. The draw feels better.
Over all, I think I’ll be getting a few more from them.
Question of the week
How would you describe your local “No Kings” protest?
My local No Kings protest was sad. Very small turnout, and even smaller ideas.
Thanks for the We The People holster info. I have been a fan of Stealthgear for a long time, but they are pricey. Comfortable and easy to wear, but the cost can be a bit scary.
I had a rear tire fail on the highway due to “worn down to the steel” failure from misalignment.
I also had a ball joint failure once, on my first car ($400 Ford Galaxie). The shop showed it to me: pulling on the mounting bolt showed 1/4 inch or so slack, and when pulling I could see the cup of the ball joint opening up at the cracks. Naively I asked him if this was bad. He answered: if it fails, your wheel is no longer attached to the car.
Oops. Good thing he caught that before I put more than a handful of miles on it.
