  • Most delicious excerpt from the article:

    (Presiding Judge) Barrett called out Peters for being “as defiant as a defendant that the court has ever seen” and said he believed Peters would do it all over again if she could. He accused her of seeking fame, despite her claims that she didn’t want attention for her actions.

    He said she didn’t respect the courts, law enforcement, government officials or her colleagues, and had abused the power of her position. She didn’t take the clerk role “particularly seriously”, he said, noting she hadn’t completed certification, and that “one scandal after another followed you in your time as the clerk.”

    He added, “You are no hero, you abused your position, and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.”

    Judge Barrett from the top rope!

    Suck it Peters!










  • From the article:

    Campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said Trump was “throwing tantrums online and today at his country club for the media” because he wasn’t getting the attention he craves.

    “The self-obsessed, convicted felon is incensed he’s not in the spotlight as Vice President Harris and Governor Walz barnstorm the nation talking about their vision for an America of opportunity and security — where freedom and democracy are protected and everyone has a fair shot not just to get by, but to get ahead,” he said.

    “Trump has no vision, he has no solutions, and he is running a campaign of revenge and retribution to enact his Project 2025 agenda and make people’s lives worse. It’s why voters will reject him again at the ballot box this November.”

    Moussa with the beatdown 😬

    This after the Harris campaign called Trump “the most insecure man in America.”

    That’s gotta sting just a bit.

    The first entry “full or long fin keel” is technically a modified full keel with a cutaway forefoot. A true full keel would have the keel extending almost in a straight vertical line from the stem to intersect the horizontal line of the bottom of the keel.

    The modified full keel is a nice compromise between the comfort and stability of a full keel and the maneuverability of a fin keel.

    Both types of full keel benefit from having a fully protected propeller in an aperture and the additional safety and security of a fully hung rudder. Additionally, nothing beats a full keel for rock solid dependability as the keel is molded into the hull, whereas a fin keel is generally attached by bolts, a far less structurally reliable method.

    Neither can compete for speed or maneuverability with a fin or bulb keel for several reasons, not the least of which is far more additional wetted hull area and the water friction inherent therein.

    I could be mistaken, but I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen “full” and “fin” used to describe the same item. I believe those are mutually exclusive terms.
