Last week, a group of SOF veterans led by retired SEAL Andy Stumpf (probably best known to most people for hosting the Cleared Hot podcast) embarked on an epic mission. The goal: Conduct 7 freefall parachute jumps on 7 continents within 7 days. With that, the 777 (Triple 7) Expedition was born.
The current world record for jumping onto each of the seven continents is approximately seven months. This intrepid group set out to do it in just seven days.
The organization behind the whole event is Legacy Expeditions, which bills itself as a “boutique adventure capitalist firm.” Their mission is to to “bring world record-setting attempts and expeditions to life, all while upholding the memories and legacies of fallen U.S. and Allied Troops lost during the Global War on Terrorism.” Past expeditions have included Mt. Everest and Iceland.
This year’s trek is devoted to raising money for the Folds of Honor foundation, which provides scholarships for families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided more than 44,000 scholarships. The fundraising goal for the 777 Expedition is to raise $7 million, which will pay for 1400 scholarships. If anyone is interested in donating, follow this link.

In between Miami and Giza, there was a jump in Barcelona, but the video hasn’t made it up yet. The final two jumps were in Dubai and Perth.
the logistics of this is mind bending
So, me being an asshole was going to comment how the cheap bastards were going to fly from Dubai to Perth because it was almost 2000 miles shorter and then…
Looking at Google maps and kind of south of the route from Dubai to Perth there are many islands.
Many with British sounding names but one stood out.
Elephant Island. When was it discovered? When was it named? Why elephant island? Don’t think there are elephants in the Antarctic but if there are elephants are they Asian ( small ears ) or African ( big floppy ears )
If Elephant Island was named before 1957 when Sputnik went into orbit we have a problem…..
Of course it is

Klaus Schwab’s Father Ran ‘National Socialist Model Company’, Exploited Nazi Slave Labor

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Davos frontman Klaus Schwab’s daddy, Eugen Schwab, while the Third Reich was ravaging Europe in the 1930s and 40s, served as managing director of Escher Wyss Ravensburg, an engineering firm that constructed turbines and fighter plane parts for the regime.
While the elder Schwab worked in this capacity, the Nazis awarded Escher Wyss Ravensburg the prestigious title of “National Socialist Model Company” for all of its hard work in the service of the Führer.
To achieve this recognition, Escher-Wyss Ravensburg, under Eugen Schwab’s leadership, utilized Nazi slave labor and prisoners of war in its facilities.
Ravensburg itself, aside from the slave factory, was the site of numerous Nazi crimes against humanity, such as forced sterilization for the purpose of “racial improvement.” But to Eugen Schwab, that was just the cost of doing business with the Third Reich.
You want to make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs, right?
Ravensburg, mostly a women’s concentration camp, was where they murdered ‘Vera’s Girls’, the women the Brits sent into France etc as spies, radio operators. At least 2 were thrown into the ovens alive, the others were injected with poison and thrown into the ovens before death.

The lights have been on at a Massachusetts school for over a year because no one can turn them off
WILBRAHAM, Mass. — For nearly a year and a half, a Massachusetts high school has been lit up around the clock because the district can’t turn off the roughly 7,000 lights in the sprawling building.
The lighting system was installed at Minnechaug Regional High School when it was built over a decade ago and was intended to save money and energy. But ever since the software that runs it failed on Aug. 24, 2021, the lights in the Springfield suburbs school have been on continuously, costing taxpayers a small fortune.
“We are very much aware this is costing taxpayers a significant amount of money,” Aaron Osborne, the assistant superintendent of finance at the Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School District, told NBC News. “And we have been doing everything we can to get this problem solved.”

Doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not, this is a FANTASTIC piece by Mark Judge
The left is the deadly enemy of joy. This is why Adam Kinzinger recently made fun of Lauren Boebert for dancing. You can’t attain Utopia if people are dancing and skateboarding and gardening and racing mini-bikes and having keg parties; it’s much more important to police dance clubs and censor jokes.
In his book Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Tim Mohr explores how the postwar German Stasi harassed, monitored, and beat punk rockers. As I once noted in The Stream, it’s telling how many times the word “fun” is used by the anti-Stasi punks to explain what they were doing. Between 1981 and 1985 one of the most popular bands behind the Iron Curtain was Wutanfall (“Tantrum”), a Leipzig six-piece who, Mohr writes, “represented a loose but dedicated opposition to the state.”
When I was living near Georgetown University in the middle of the 1980s, it was possible to go out at night for several hours, meet dozens of people, and not know what any of them thought about politics — the state had no place on the dance floor. It’s where I always closely felt the presence of God. I was in the middle of Washington, D.C., yet Capitol Hill might as well have been on the moon.

yep. CW and I were talking recently about Iron Fist and I was recalling how we first met in person after some years on the swamp blog. It was at reaganite’s meetup/birthday party at his and Ann’s place at FT Brag. We got absolutely shit faced and went outside and danced in the dark under the stars and the moon. You don’t need to do the shit faced part, but definitely do the dance part.

I can’t believe what just happened. I met up with friends for breakfast at Paradis Books and Bread in North Miami & while we were having discussions about politics we were told by the owner that we were not welcomed there because we aren’t politically aligned. Outrageous.

(does anyone remember Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the Little Red Hen Restaurant in Virginia? One of the reasons we left that shit hole)
The next day, Caldwell appeared on “Fox & Friends Weekend” to discuss the incident. He said the discussion in question was benign.
He simply answered questions like, “Are you a conservative?” and “How do you like working over at Fox News?”
Then, he talked with the group about his brother, who was gunned down in Chicago last year.
“I was on Capitol Hill just the other week talking to members of Congress about violent crime in America and trying to get justice for my brother and other victims of violent crime,” he said.
The restaurant owner, however, claims Caldwell’s conversation interrupted their safe space.

I like Trump, I will be forever grateful to him. And what has been done to him/happened to him is completely unfair and a total injustice. Hell, what’s being done to Hubby and me…an IRS audit because my husband was on one of his advisory committees and went to Mar A Lago. Trust me, I get it.
But in the context of the next election cycle, we, as a country, can’t do this anymore. It’s DeSantis (or somebody who I haven’t seen coming yet). If Trump gets back in, he’s going to make it all about him. No. It cannot be that. We need a de-personalized flamethrower who disinfects the place without fear or favor. Trump is simply not made for that.

Same with the new NZ PM, ‘Chippie’ Hipkins. He’s supposed to be a moderate but it’s just a canard as he has a recent history as an authoritarian and enforced. Especially during lockdowns and in helping to destroy the education system by sucking up to the Marxist education Unions. Even the NZ Police are so ridiculously under strength because of his tenure as Police Minister under ‘Cindi’ Ardern that crime is spiking. NZ Police are just 1/3 the numbers per capita that they are in Australia!
The economy will break this Labour government in October no matter who is the Labour PM! That’s not to say that the incoming National government is not infected with liberals from the leader of the opposition on down!
SPIT
The only hope to keep an incoming National administration ‘honest’ is for the ACT party and even maybe NZ First party to join National in a coalition that opposes the grouping of Labour the Greens and the Maori parties

Wherever a person falls on the spectrum, rage is always a component of the disorder. See Ted Bundy.

The problem is, as many have noted, Harry wrote that’s the song Elton John performed at Diana’s service. It wasn’t. Elton sang Candle in the Wind.
The monarchy has a serious problem on its hands. They’ve got the goods on Meghan. She wasn’t just any yacht girl, she hung out with one of Epstein’s girlfriends, how do you think she knew Andrew’s daughter Eugenie?. But if they expose that, they utterly destroy Harry and probably their credibility with the people of the UK. They KNEW and they still let her in the door and used $30 million of taxpayer money for the wedding? OH HELL NO!

The Duck Brigade Behind a Farmer’s Plentiful Rice Harvest
EVERY SUMMER, A PACK OF ducks roams a six-acre rice farm in Vergennes, Vermont. They wade through rice paddies, nibble at undergrowth, and waddle across fields. They’re not just part of the idyllic landscape; they’re working, performing the essential tasks of fertilization and weed control.
The ducks are part of a Japanese agricultural technique known as aigamo, and their Vermont home resembles flooded rice paddies found in eastern Asia, particularly those of Japan’s Miyagi prefecture. It may seem random, or out of place to find this scene 6,000 miles away in the Northeast United States, but to Erik Andrus, owner of Boundbrook Farm, the ducks are the long-awaited solution to his pivot to rice farming.
Andrus, a Vermont native, lived in Sendai City for a year in 2000 when he first witnessed how rice was grown in moderate and cold climates, such as Hokkaido—the coldest region in Japan and where the cool, wet climate likened that in Vergennes. After purchasing Boundbrook with his wife in 2005 and producing everything from wheat to vegetables to grass-fed beef and pastured poultry, he found himself returning to Japanese rice. In 2010, he came across researchers Takeshi and Linda Akaogi, who were also experimenting with growing Japanese rice varieties in Vermont. This reinspired his connection to Japanese farming techniques and set in motion his switch from wheat to rice farming.

As California goes, so goes the nation, or so they say. If that rings true, the nation is set for a reversal of some of its strictest renewable energy plans, after the Huntington Beach City Council voted to dump its plan for 100% renewable energy.
Huntington Beach, California, is changing the plan it had in place with the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA)—a nonprofit offering clean energy. But its recent history in a rather unfavorable media limelight has given the city council pause.
And Huntington Beach wasn’t the first municipality to pull out—Orange County bailed on the green power authority, citing transparency concerns and a series of ugly audits, and allegations that the authority failed to inform the public that their electricity bills were increasing. Orange County was set to begin receiving green power from the authority by the end of this year. The cost of having the county pull out is estimated to be around $65 million.

When I first joined the Army, I was in field artillery at Fort Ord, CA. We used to drive all the way down to Fort Irwin if we wanted to do any major live fire. That’s near Barstow. Middle of the desert.
We were supposed to deploy to Korea in wartime, so all our stuff was woodland camouflage, including our camo nets. I remember pointing out how stupid these big-ass green and brown nets looked in the desert. One of the officers assured me that a pilot flying overhead wouldn’t be able to see what was under it.
True…but he can see that it’s a big-ass green net hiding something. Might as well drop a bomb or two on it…

Then there was the insufferable NetZero lecture. 45 sections of condescending bullshit propaganda and stuff like this glurge:
“A paradigm shift from piecemeal systems to holistic streamlined systems with global metrics is the need of the hour.”
I tolerated about ten sections of that crap before I said fukket and scrolled to the exam, made logical guesses… and got 53%. Then I figured out a hack, took it again and passed with 98%.

Armor: Tanks For Ukraine
American leaders are stalemated over sending M1 tanks t0 Ukraine. Most politicians and Americans in general prefer sending Ukraine the M1s so the Russians will be pushed out of Ukraine sooner rather than later. Senior military officials insist that the Ukrainians won’t learn to use the M1s quickly enough to make a difference. The Ukrainians disagree and point to many recent examples of their quickly adapting to new weapons systems in terms of operators and maintainers. The American opposition is coming mostly from the same experts who initially predicted that the larger and better equipped Russian force would soon defeat the Ukrainians. The United States has thousands of M1 tanks in reserve. These are not the latest models but were seen as adequate replacements for M1 tanks lost in some future conflict. That conflict is going on now in Ukrainian except that, because Ukraine is not a NATO member, they are willing to do all the fighting if NATO continues sending all the weapons and munitions they need. The Americans have already stalled on sending some weapons (like longer range missiles and any tanks at all) for fear of angering the Russians and triggering an expanded war. That has not happened and the Russians have taken unprecedented losses. Senior American military officials appear to accept reality because it is so radically different from what they predicted.

California lawmakers appear intent on making the Eagles song Hotel California a reality … at least when it comes to taxes for those who try to flee the state. At the Hotel California, “you can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave!” With soaring costs and a massive $24 billion deficit, the state is also facing an exodus of people leaving the state. The solution? Convert the state into a tax Venus flytrap: not only impose a wealth tax on those caught in the state but tax those who try to leave.
The new bill introduced by Democratic Assemblyman Alex Lee would impose an extra annual 1.5% tax on those with a “worldwide net worth” above $1 billion, starting as early as January 2024.
The law has a cynical bait-and-switch provision. The billionaire tax is just meant for the initial packaging and passage. It can therefore be sold as a “billionaire’s tax.” However, in two years, the threshold drops to a worldwide net worth exceeding $50 million. While billionaires would stay at 1.5%, those in the lower tax bracket would be hit by a 1% added rate on worldwide assets.

that was pretty good!
I tried to listen to Bongino today. The last 20 mins – 18 mins of commercials, no exaggeration. Aggravating.
And the VA has managed to kick me while I’m down. They once again “somehow” sent my optometry billing to the wrong place (that tri-west crap again). And I’ve been billed by my optometrist because of that. Last time it took two years and the mess never did get resolved. In fact it was sent to collections and I took a hit on my credit rating. I’m actually going into a panic attack thinking i’m going to go through that kind of hell again.

My credit rating only worked for me when I got a loan for a car. Otherwise I don’t have much use for it. (I live in the sticks and pay cash mostly thought). I’d find a different optometrist though. I never stick with someone who put me into collection. I’d want him to hold the bill at least 6-8 months. In your case longer as you had a payment application pending.
Sucks on the VA. One would think they could divert 50 Billion from Ukraine and make things right in America
Hung out with a lady friend last week and with some Pale Ale IPA Sierra Nevada.
She got the hiccups and I irritated her by telling her she was cute when she had the hiccups. We couldn’t figure out why though.
One leftover ale in the fridge today. I drank it and got the hiccups. Puzzling. Maybe placebo effect. I can’t tell her though.

Adani Group: How The World’s 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History
https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani/
Gautam Adani, Founder and Chairman of the Adani Group, has amassed a net worth of roughly $120 billion, adding over $100 billion in the past 3 years largely through stock price appreciation in the group’s 7 key listed companies, which have spiked an average of 819% in that period.
819% Imagine that…..
Asia’s richest man considers legal action over short seller’s ‘baseless’ fraud claims

CNN
—
India’s Adani Group has denounced allegations of fraud made by Hindenburg Research as “baseless” and a “malicious combination of selective misinformation,” and is considering legal action against the US-based short seller.
Hindenburg Research published an investigation on billionaire Gautam Adani’s sprawling conglomerate on Tuesday, accusing it of “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades.”
Hindenburg said it has taken a short position in companies in the Adani Group “through U.S.-traded bonds and non-Indian-traded derivative instruments.” Short sellers aim to make money by betting that the stock price of the companies they target will fall.
Adani’s business empire contains seven listed companies — in sectors ranging from ports to power stations — and shares in most of them fell by between 3% and more than 8% on Wednesday.
Well, why not……..

“Lee Marvin enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on August 12, 1942. Before finishing School of Infantry, he was an quartermaster. Lee served in the 4th Marine Division as a scout sniper in the Pacific Theater during World War II,[6] including assaults on Eniwetok and Saipan-Tinian.[7] While serving as a member of “I” Company, 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division, Lee participated in 21 Japanese islands landings and was wounded in action on June 18, 1944, during the assault on Mount Tapochau in the Battle of Saipan, during which most of his company were casualties.[8] He was hit by machine gun fire, which severed his sciatic nerve,[9] and then was hit again in the foot by a sniper.[10] After over a year of medical treatment in naval hospitals, Marvin was given a medical discharge with the rank of private first class. He previously held the rank of corporal, but had been demoted for troublemaking.
Marvin’s decorations include the Purple Heart Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Action Ribbon”
Also, he was a first cousin, four times removed, of Robert E Lee. In fact, he was named “Lee” after his famous relative.
Yeah, I know, I know; “Hey STICKS, who the fudge asked ya ?”
