Back in 1937, famous female aviator Amelia Earhart disappeared during an attempt to fly around the world at the Equator. There have been countless theories as to her disappearance, including one that pictured her as a war spy. Now, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), which has long been investigating Earhart's last flight, is releasing images that show an "anomaly" resting at the depth of about 600 feet in the waters off Nikumaroro island, some 350 miles southeast of Earhart's target destination, Howland Island. A number of artifacts recovered by TIGHAR during 10 expeditions have suggested that Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, made a forced landing on the island's smooth, flat coral reef. Gillespie and his team believe the two became castaways and eventually died there.

If proven to be correct, that kills my theory that she,
Noonan, Wiley Post and Will Rogers were all shacked up together at the El Cortez Hotel in Las Vegas.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I heard something yesterday about Obama wanting to sell
something called TVA and that a lot of people are against it. Can you fill me in? (Gordy ~ Redding, CA)
A. TVA is the acronym for Tennessee Valley Authority. Franklin Roosevelt invented the agency back
around 1933 to bring electricity into the poverty-stricken middle-south states
and, hopefully, to kick off the economy in the area. Still government owned and operated, it is
some $25 billion in debt, (every business the government runs is billions of
dollars in debt,) and Obama wants to sell it off and claim a debt
reduction. Those against the sale are
afraid rates will go up. My position is
that the government should not be in business in any way shape or form, and that
it should rid itself of the post office, Amtrak, et al, and ASAP.
Q. I know that China has been making overt attempts to gain
absolute control over the South China Sea lately, but are there any recent
developments? (Chloe ~ Boulder City, NV)
A. An encounter early this month between a Taiwanese fishing
boat and a Filipino Coast Guard vessel has raised tensions to a boiling point
between the two countries. The Filipino
vessel evidently fired off a round or two at the Taiwanese boat and killed an elderly
fisherman on board.
Q. I cannot believe my ears!
The Democrats and the Tea Party are colluding on something? (Brian ~ Albuquerque, NM)
A. It appears that certain lawmakers in Texas and South Carolina
are trying to gain special privileges for themselves or for their government
agencies when it comes to guns... privileges not to be given to the general
public. In Texas, the House defeated a
measure on Sunday that would have given prosecuting attorneys and lawmakers
permission to carry guns anywhere they wanted to in the state. Just about every state has rules stipulating
where a concealed weapon cannot be carried, such as a bar or a statehouse. I guess it’s back to that old IRS adage: Rank
has its privilege.
