Beyond airlines operating specs. Happening more often, pilot says."

An Arizona Senate candidate, Bobby Wilson, says he's pro-gun because he once fended off a gunman with a gun kept under his bed.
Turns out the "attacker" was his mom, and he shot her dead; he was charged with murdering her and his sister, but not convicted.

I had not heard that yesterday.
Hope it's true. Having the shoe on the other foot is gonna get him upset. You know how he is about people embarrassing him.
Maybe, if we are lucky, he will want revenge on Putin for that.
Putin kept Trump waiting for an hour, at Helsinki???

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, ....."
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
