I haven’t been following an Air Force reserves vet name of Anna Paulina Luna, but she has been a Congresswoman from Florida (on the R side of the aisle, thank you) who is making some interesting\u00a0 noises lately. Notably about Gannon Ken Van Dyke, the Master Sergeant who made (and presumably now lost) over $400K betting on Maduro’s ouster based on classified inside info. Now, normally I would think anyone passing around classified info is a prime candidate for a HANO jump over someplace ugly, preferably with a high population of maneaters on the off chance they survive the jump. But Luna is actually DEFENDING the guy. Huh?<\/p>\n

During a Friday appearance on Fox News, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) defended a U.S. special forces soldier accused of profiting off bets tied to the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, comparing the case to \u201cinsider trading\u201d on Capitol Hill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dictator toppling vs. Nancy Pelosi’s (husband’s, right? I’m sure SanFranNan and her hubby never actually talk or anything) insider trading.<\/p>\n

\n

Speaking with Fox News\u2019 Laura Ingraham, Luna said, \u201cWe have someone in the military who successfully helped plan one of, I would say, the most daring successful missions in U.S. history, and because he placed a bet \u2014 in reading the write-up by the Department of Justice, Laura, I did not see that he leaked classified information, so that\u2019s pretty big on this, and I don\u2019t agree with what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(I keep hearing “Pete Rose” in my head, betting on his own team to win.)<\/p>\n

\n

She continued:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

However, I don\u2019t think that this is true justice, and I say that because, as you had stated, this man is facing decades in prison. Meanwhile, every single day on Capitol Hill, there are many members of Congress on both sides that are currently engaging in insider trading, and I actually did, Laura, decide to help champion this cause and try to get a bipartisan bill across the finish line that [Rep.] Hakeem Jeffries [D-NY] then turned around and blocked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Keep preachin’, sister.<\/p>\n

Actually, she hit the news again today. And for something I suspect no one else here knew, either.<\/p>\n

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has voted against a bill that would mandate the use of artificial-intelligence driver-monitoring systems in all new cars in the U.S. by 2027. She believes that certain Republicans helped Democrats enact the legislation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AI that would determine whether you could drive or not. Are you impaired? You willing to let your freakin’ CAR make that decision?<\/p>\n

As per the mandate, new vehicles should have a system that can detect when a driver is impaired or distracted using cameras and sensors. The system restricts or shuts down a vehicle if it detects that a driver poses any threat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s see, a woman is trying to escape someone – she’s severely, what – stressed? Mybe not really herself, due to panic? And her car says “No, I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that.”<\/p>\n

So beside bothering you if you start to lane change without a signal (hey, on the roads I drive, sometimes there isn’t another car within a coupla MILES) now the Feds want to mandate that\u00a0 your car can decide whether you can go someplace? Heck, the car manufacturers haven’t even figured out a reliable air bag inflator yet and they’ve only had FORTY FREAKIN’ YEARS\u00a0 to do that. This sounds like one of those things maybe you ought to contact your Senator about. Just what we need, another expensive government car mandate. (Oh, and unneeded – why does EVERY car need that? If you get busted driving under the influence, YOU can buy it, not me.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, besides having an ‘interesting’ bio, knocking head with AOCs (I like that) she seems to be on the right path – maybe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
