re: Runway near miss today at Harry Reid Airport in Vegas

This was an aborted landing. With the landing gear down. And plane ascending at nearly 90 degree angle
They got down to 2400 feet, then pulled up to 7000 feet in 3-4 minutes, which isn't a crazy rate of climb in a 737. Did one circle and landed 10 minutes later
Sounds like your family might have overreacted to a simple go around situation. Unless this isn't their flight and more than one go around happened from DEN - LAS

India allows mail in ballots, with restrictions
LINK
Indonesia does not do "mail in" ballots, but their ballots are collected and placed into white boxes, which are then transported by "motorcyle, boat and even horse" for up to 35 days before reaching the counting center, which is basically the same principle since the person casting the ballot gives that ballot up to another before it is ultimately recorded
LINK
US election procedures, CA in particular, can be quite fricked up but they aren't quite as out of line to the rest of the world as the Twitter graphics would have you believe

I can tell you Americans' financial situations would be devastated if Iran got a nuclear weapon, and there was a permanent shutdown of energy out of the Middle East
No, that can't be right, we have been told repeatedly the Strait of Hormuz doesn't matter, the loss of oil and energy due to the closure doesn't matter, and everybody is just going to pivot and head their tankers to the Gulf to fill up and the US will prosper like nobody has ever seen
Sounds like Bessent hasn't been keeping up on Truth Social

Iran was only weeks away from having a nuclear bomb, so we had to go to war. They were building bombs with the uranium that is totally obliterated. It's also not obliterated but completely buried and inaccessible by anybody other than the US and China. Iran said they would let us come and get it. Or maybe they didn't, depends on what day you ask. But we have to get it, because they will build a nuclear weapon with it. Even though we obliterated it.

What's so bad about CA laws is that it doesn't even have to be illegal to be so completely fricked up
You can lawfully drop your mail in ballot in the box up to 11:59:59 of election day
The post office is required to postmark them to election day, even if it takes a few days to get to it. Then they have another 7 days to be received into the election offices after they are postmarked
Since everybody gets a mail in ballot no matter what, day of voting in CA is a loosely held suggestion, and it's never truly over till its over

quick pivot to a ceasefire, empty threats, tons of bluster, lack of (or no communication of) a coherent strategy, and a stalemate that doesn’t look to end any time soon.
I have no factual basis for this, but my theory is that it has something to do with the downed F-15
Everything was balls to the wall before April 3, then the plane goes down, the op into Iran to get the 2nd crewmember completed on the 5th, and 36 hours later the ceasefire is announced and here we are
Why one single plane/2 crew would cause this, I have no idea. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but these days those seem to be in short supply

He also said on Truth last week that the US and China are the only 2 countries on earth with the ability to dig the uranium out
So I guess he’s really concerned with China intervening if Iran doesn’t have the capabilities as he said

Iran has had Highly Enriched Uranium since the late 60's. Isfahan was built in 84, and Fordow was built early 2000's
They had plenty of access and ability well before Uranium 1 deal
