The Morning Report - 12/12/19

Good morning kids. Thursday and we continue with the IG Horowitz report and the Sham-peachment Follies. The shockwaves of the former are still being felt so let's take it from the top. Yesterday, Michael Horowitz was questioned by the GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee and as we all know, the media focused on their fossilized co-conspirator Dem Senators to continually harp on Horowitz's carefully worded, yet no less outrageous statement that he found no evidence of political bias by any of the FBI officials central to his investigation. Forget the fact that no one asked him if the same kind of hypothetical that those two leftist tits Berke and Goldman bandied about on Nadler's panel; to wit, did you inquire if anyone was politically motivated and do you really think that if you asked that you'd get an honest response? Aside from that, the basis of the FISA warrants, the Hillary Clinton bought-and-paid-for and fictitious Steele dossier was known to be fictitious and yet was used as the pretext to obtain and then renew those warrants. Everyone involved knew it as no doubt Horowitz himself must have been. But of course, once the media had the soundbite it wanted, they were off to races and conveniently cut away from the hearings the moment Lindsey Graham began his opening statement, which cut to the actual meat of the report, CNN and the other agitprop media arms of the Democrats cut away.

In any case, Graham, as well as Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley grilled Horowitz about the meat of his report, which despite his best efforts to try and shield the FBI, was forced to admit that at best, they were grossly incompetent, reckless and that his findings did in fact show flagrant criminality. Most egregious was the altering of documents showing Carter Page was an intelligence asset to show he was not, and thereby green-light the obtaining of FISA warrants to spy on him. Hawley, Graham and Cruz were dead right in their individual assessments:

Hawley: The FBI "effectively meddled" in the 2016 election.

Cruz: ...A stunning indictment of the FBI and the Department of Justice, of a pattern of abuse of power..."

Graham: The FBI "engaged in a massive criminal conspiracy."

17 separate acts and instances of gross incompetence by individuals that are supposed to be the elite of the elite of nation's top cops that somehow miraculously all benefitted the Clinton campaign and hurt Trump's. No mention of the "insurance policy" mash notes between Strzok and Page. A glossing over of the origins and veracity of the Steele dossier and how it was used to abuse our legal system to spy on innocent parties. Yet Horowitz could find no evidence of political bias?

Yes, the Democrat-Media Complex has its soundbite and doubtless will be harping on it endlessly. But the proof will still be in the pudding when AG Barr and John Durham hand down indictments. Considering their almost instantaneous dual rebukes of Horowitz's "no evidence of bias" opener, I fully expect people to face the music. The question is, who? If there is a G-d in Heaven, it should be Comey, Clapper and Brennan, along with McCabe, the Ohrs, Bill Priestap, Sally Yates, Andrew Weissmann and probably a few dozen more that we don't know the names of. Yet. And then, of course, there's Obama and Clinton. I wish.

Whatever happens, Christopher Wray should be immediately removed as head of the FBI.

... Wray's indifference toward Horowitz's report is hardly an aberration. There are plenty of other reasons to question whether Wray is the right man to lead the FBI.
Let's review the FBI's abysmal record under Wray.
Under Wray, the FBI fought congressional oversight into what is now confirmed FBI misconduct.
Under Wray, the FBI's program of oversight of its informants almost totally disintegrated. Over $40 million a year goes to these informants who have a lot of influence over how America's most powerful cops get used. That's the very same program that allowed the Christopher Steele/Russian collusion hoax to gain traction. According to the latest inspector general report, Steele flunked the source validation process but the FBI continued to vouch for his credibility to the court - even misrepresenting Steele's value in the infamous FIFA case. The FBI is less equipped to screen and stop a repetition of a future Steele-like failure now than it was in 2016 when it happened the first time.
Under Wray, the FBI abused the National Security Agency's database of bulk data collected without regard to constitutional privacy concerns. The government is allowed to maintain this database because it promises not to use it on Americans without a court's permission. Under Wray, the FBI couldn't even explain why thousands of the queries were initiated.
The abuse was so widespread and systematic that the court issued a stinging opinion here. Wray fought the release of the opinion for a year, delaying public accountability. To date, there's no report of Wray punishing any FBI personnel for any of this misconduct...

Actually, the past three years is just the nail in the coffin. My preference is to abolish the agency entirely, but the first rule of bureaucracies is to expand their power, not diminish it. And bureaucracy is the Deep State. Stay tuned.

In any case, there is such a thing as "double jeopardy" but no doubt they will just manufacture new crimes to smear Trump with.

15 Democratic Rep. Jeff Van Drew said Wednesday that he will vote against articles of impeachment that outline the case for President Trump's removal from office, becoming the first Democrat to publicly say he will not vote with his colleagues.

Van Drew, a Democrat who represents a district in New Jersey that favored Trump by five points in 2016, has been a vocal opponent to the impeachment effort examining whether Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.

Van Drew added that some of his Democratic colleagues have reached out to him about impeachment and guessed as many as three or four in total could join him in voting against impeachment articles.

It would be hysterical if it got voted down in the House because a number of Dems get cold feet

27 Wray needs to be fired. His statements are no only inexplicable, but dangerous to our republic.

Wray is a quisling who supports an agency that believes it is not answerable to the people or constitution. In fact, the FBI believes it is superior to the people's will. They are no longer a law "enforcement" agency. They are a law "subversion" agency.

Think that's incorrect, or at minimum, mischaracterizing what happened?

The FBI and two companies it contracted with were caught performing the queries during Obama's presidency. his is what Adm. Rogers, as then head of the NSA, discovered and shut down. In fact, the shutdown of these queries by Rogers immediately preceded the FBI's first attempt at a FISA warrant on Carter Page --- in other words, they were forced to get the FISA because Rogers cut off their ability to do these warrantless queries.

Wray could be criticized for not taking action to prevent a repeat of this, perhaps, but that didn't happen on his watch.

48 I agree with JJ - the FBI is no longer anything like what was contemplated in its foundation in the early 20th century. It was meant to combat organized crime across multi-state lines where local law enforcement either didn't have the resources or worse, were friends or family of the very criminals terrorizing the citizens. It created a national repository of mug shots and finger prints and brought crime lab technological advancements to assist law enforcement.

Now its become an enemy of the people it was supposed to serve. The local law enforcement agencies no longer depend on the FBI to help them, and probably they're a hinderance if truth be known - shut it down and split up the various departments in it into assets offered to local law enforcement like crime lab reports and criminal information data.

53 The blocking of DOD funds for the wall is partial. The Pentagon can still use drug interdiction funds for construction. I think departments can legally move money around after appropriation. If that is the case, move the money that was going to be used for the wall to the drug interdiction fund.

56 One thing should be clear from all this. Steele traffic's in fugasi work product. If you want salicious defamatory documents on someone Steele is your man.

AND the FBI isn't adverse...and indeed embraces the use of garbage documents to entrap their prey. They are not law enforcement. They are a criminal gang who prey innocent targets to literally give themselves something to do. There never was a crime here. It was always a case of show me the man and I'll show you the crime.

70 Andrew Yang's plan includes using international standards for drug
pricing, licensing drug companies that cooperate with the government's
regulations, and public manufacturing of medications.

"We need to put pressure on these companies to get their
prices under control and more in line with the rest of the world. . .We have to
give the federal government authority to negotiate drug prices and use
standard international price reference points so pharmaceutical
companies can no longer exploit our market and the American people.

If these companies are not willing to compromise, we need to ensure
the U.S. government has the ability to force licenses for these drugs to
companies who will. Additionally, we need to authorize the creation of
public manufacturing facilities to make these drugs, as well as other
necessary drugs and unprofitable but necessary medications, for the
American people."

"Gender confirming" surgery? I wonder what would happen if a homely woman or man decided they wanted "beauty confirming" surgery, at taxpayer expense?

"I look ugly, but I know that I'm really beautiful, and I just want my exterior to conform with my sincere beliefs about my true identity as a beautiful person, and therefore the taxpayers should pay for my nose job, cheek implants, chin re-shaping, breast implants, pec implants, liposuction, butt lift, etc."

Seriously, how is that any different? Being ugly makes people feel depressed, even suicidal. Why shouldn't they get plastic surgery on the taxpayers' dime, just like the gender benders?

THE QUOTES OF THE DAY

Quote I

Of course it’s unfair, but life is unfair. Simply running around talking about unfairness, is this gonna convince people who are on the fence that what’s being done to President Trump is mean and unfair and therefore they’re going to disagree with — the whole thing is bogus. This thing needs to be exposed for what it is. Rush Limbaugh

Quote II

Before I start, I must give the obligatory disclaimer: I am in no way defending pornography or the porn industry. I agree with Walsh‘s contention that it is a profoundly harmful activity. Nevertheless, it is not the state’s role to prohibit people from consuming it. Jeff Charles

Quote III

“It seems like the university has something against us. Truman State needs to stop making excuses and recognize our group. We understand that many people don’t like the idea of animal rights, but we still deserve the same platform as the other groups on campus.” Naomi Mathew

Quote IV

"It's an environment that you should wear gas masks on because of strong sulphuric gases. You can hear the noise of the gas coming out of the volcano. It's quite an intense but beautiful experience if you do a little circuit and then get off pretty quickly."Prof. Ben Kennedy

Quote V

"When confronted, they didn't run from danger, they ran toward it and saved lives. If not for their actions, and the actions of the Naval Security Force that were the first responders on the scene, this incident could have been far worse."Timothy Kinsella, the base commander

Quote VI

James Comey will go down in history, one, as being a sanctimonious partisan, but two, as being the guy who really did more to damage to the FBI than anybody else in the history of the FBI including Hoover, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)

Quote VII

“What was going on here, this wasn’t Jason Bourne. This was Beavis and Butt-Head." Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

Brewery takes marketing to a new level. Beer cans with erotic reindeer.

A brewery in North Carolina is feeling the heat over a holiday beer can featuring erotic reindeer doing the dirty.
Sycamore Brewing had to pull the 2019 version of their Christmas Cookie Winter Ale from the shelves after an anonymous complaint led to a visit from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, Fox 46 reported.
Turns out, the naughty reindeer depicted on the cans were a little too merry, being displayed in various sexually suggestive positions.

My guess? There is someone looking for a job.

Walmart issued an apology for a Christmas sweater on the store's Canadian website that featured a reference to doing illicit drugs.
The sweater, which was formerly available from a third-party seller on Walmart.ca, featured Santa Claus with lines of what the product description called "quality, grade A, Colombian snow," but online observers agreed was a reference to cocaine.

For those traveling in South Africa by E Jaguars there is now somehting special for you. Charging station map.

Jaguar have released their full interactive map of electric vehicle charging stations across South Africa.
The 54 charging stations, which make up the Jaguar Powerway, are dotted along the Gauteng, Durban and the N1 between Gauteng and Cape Town.
In addition, Cape Town is connected to the Garden Route all the way up to East London.

I wonder if these cars can use the same charging stations?

Currently, South Africans can buy the Nissan Leaf, Jaguar I-Pace or BMW i3 electric vehicles.

Air plane emissions and global warming. They are still looking for the perfect unicorn fart to power planes. The next best thing? Used cooking oil?

They say it reduces CO2 emissions by 80 percent. Does it really?
KLM is the oldest airline in the world still flying under its original Royal Dutch Airways name for a hundred years now. Like other airlines, they are trying to figure out how to cope with a future where we have to reduce our carbon footprint and where flight-shaming is becoming a thing. Now they are trying biofuels; Neste, a Finnish maker of renewable diesel and other fuels, is now supplying KLM with "sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)" made from used cooking oil, which will "reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80 percent compared to fossil kerosene." From the press release:

As we approach the end of the year we will be inundated with 2019 awards. 'They'The Word of The Year. Gimme a f*cking break.

Dictionary publisher and good Twitter account Merriam-Webster has declared the pronoun “they” as 2019’s Word of the Year.
The company revealed on Tuesday that there was a 313 percent increase in searches of the word “they” on Merriam-Webster.com this year when compared to 2018.
“English famously lacks a gender-neutral singular pronoun to correspond neatly with singular pronouns like everyone or someone, and as a consequence they has been used for this purpose for over 600 years,” read a statement from Merriam-Webster. In recent years, “they” has gained more prominence for its singular pronoun use, thanks to the growing awareness of non-binary and gender-nonconforming (GNC) individuals.

We were told to deal with gender neutral bathrooms. Obviously someone didn't get the message.

A Twitter user is getting dragged after sharing a story about going into a gender-neutral bathroom and having a man walk into it. She was horrified.
Most people who enter a gender-neutral bathroom would probably assume they might see someone of a different gender, but she claims to have been surprised. In fact, she says there were two men, one who entered the bathroom to use it as the facilities manager intended and another who waited outside until she left.
She condemns the first man and applauds the second:

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Genius Award Winner.

A Pinellas County man caused an auto crash on Park Boulevard on Saturday night that caused a boat to go flying off a trailer and closed the road for five hours, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said.
Sylvester Manning, 66, of Seminole, was arrested on DUI charges after the crash. Troopers noted in arrest reports and a news release that Manning has faced three previous DUI charges — two in March 2015 in Pasco County and another in 1990 in Pinellas County.

State trooper Robert Broadwater picked the toys up last week. The police department will distribute the trucks to pre-schools and other groups in the community.

I took a training program last week to be able to work with kids at church. A section of it was devoted to recognizing grooming behavior of adults. As part of the training, they showed interviews of convicted pedos. One of the guys they interviewed told of the young boys he abused. When asked if he had sexual contact with men he said something along the lines of "NO! I'm not gay! That is disgusting!"

If he already exhibits sep anxiety, you need to break him of it. Best way to do it is mandatory crate time.

Had a yellow lab that had separation anxiety. Did kinda the same, we came home and he was wearing the cat-sized dog-door that used to be in the wall around his neck like a necklace (still haven't painted the replacement drywall).

Wish I had something for you, but we never really cured him of it. He was two-ish when we got him.

But...we did have medication we would give sparingly, as has been mentioned.

Good luck, I love Rotties and would love to have one (I have one in mind...another lurker Moron's ex-wife who has one that doesn't really want him, because narcissist...but like 2 now, and un-cut....*sigh*...but I'd take him in a heartbeat).

The bulk of their showroom inventory is about 50% pre-owned guns. Many are just "common" guns, at that, especially as to hunting arms.

Shop carefully and thoroughly, there are bargains to be had.

And in fact, I've profited handsomely in at least two transactions there. Once, when I bought a 1905 Parker 12 ga VH shotgun for about 1/3 of the price I sold it for a month later.

Second time, I sold them an "O" frame S&W .38 snubbie. Pre-"J" frame. Picture the exact proportions of an "N" frame Smith, but in the J-frame size. The trigger guard was not the elongated oval of the "J" frame, but a smaller but identical profile to an "N" frame revolver.

I'd bought it at a different gun store for $225, out the door.

Got $600 in trade value from Collector's for it, used that to pay off two layaways there.

You don't always pay too much at Collectors. You just have to know your markets for any given hardware on any given day.

There's a chapter in "To Kill A Mockingbird" which describes how delighted Scout and Jem to see that it's snowing in their Alabama town. They try to make a snowman and Jem comes up with the idea of making a mudman and then covering the mud with the scant snow that has fallen on the ground.

Believe me, in Wisconsin, we did not have to settle for covering mud with snow to make a snowman.

Was also at Texas Tactical Gear today.

Any of you who know Jen and her dog Ginger, pray for them both.

Ginger is a very frail 16 years old, and her hips don't hop any more. Front end walks just fine though.

So, Jen throws a nylon strap under the aft end of the belly, and lift-walks Ginger out to the grass for her "walk".

I've played more tug of war with that dog in the gunstore than most people have spent time IN a gun store.

She'll still want to play with her tug of war ball. But now you've got to "let her" win. Time was, you could NOT win.

The pup's days are numbered, but dear God, that dog is still so full of the joy of life, you know she's not ready to quit, just yet.

I left the store because of all the dust in the air.

I'll tell the story of the cash transaction there for a pair of Barrett M-81s, in just a bit. That story has some interesting after action to the report.

In the Theory and Principle of States' Rights, the South was entirely correct and within the boundaries of (then) established law.

Pity was though, they applied the above Theory as to the Exact Wrong CAUSE, that being Chattel Slavery. (don't say otherwise, it's in the Confederate Declaration of Independence, and more).

Point being, the South squandered the Right of Secession on an un-defensible cause, and did so not by legislature and courts, but by war.

Which they lost, soon as the war lasted beyond the South's ability to sustain.

Had not the South rallied for that loathsome cause, then the idea of Secession would not now be as unimaginable as it remains, even today.

That's the true loss of the War Between the States / War of Northern Aggression, or whatever one might wish to append to the meatgrinder it was.

We're still going to see some Secession, I think.

But the boundaries won't be as defined as they were in the 1860s.

230 Jet fuel made from used cooking oil? Alla same as "bio-diesel". It's going to make almost exactly the same amount of CO2 when burned as does fossil fuel kerosene. The conceit is that the bio-fuel took CO2 out of the air when the original fats/oils were made. Guess what? the same is true for fossil fuels. The carbon in fossil fuels came from plant matter, either directly, or via animals' consumption of plant matter, and the plants sucked it out of the air by photosynthesis, same as they do now/ Only difference is in how long the carbon stayed in storage.

Plus, I don't think I want to ride on an airplane fueled by "bio-kerosene". Too much chance of there being some blob of unreacted fat, or left-over caustic potash getting into the fuel tank, and taking out one or more engines. The refineries making fuel out of crude oil have been doing it for over a century, and they know what the fuck they are doing. "Bio-fuels"? Not so much.

Well, Hoover considered maximizing his political power to be in the interests of the well-being of the country.

John F. Kennedy came into office, and intended to fire Hoover as one of his first actions. Robert F. Kennedy was dispatched to have lunch with Hoover, and explain that Hoover was going to retire.

It would be hysterical to have a transcript of that lunch conversation, as Hoover explained why the Kennedys weren't going to fire him.

Maintenance of blackmail files on powerful politicians was a key function of the Hoover-era FBI.

Ya... no.

That is a stupidly simplistic analysis of the causes of the war. Slavery was an issue but it wasn't even the main issue (and I will remind you MR. Lincoln did not believe so either or else the Emancipation Proclamation would have, ya know, emancipated slaves in the North).

I would suggest we change the subject but if you are feeling froggy go ahead and jump.

When I got a Labrador pup and put it in the crate for his first evening in his new home, he started to whimper, whine, and bark. The crate was in the family room.

So the first night I slept next to the door of the crate on the floor. Kept the door open. The pup slept all night.

Did this for 3 nights, then cut back to just sit outside the door for a few minutes until the pup fell asleep.

Never had another problem.

Now, this was a 13 week old pup, not a nearly grown dog. And a Lab, not a Rot.

And to the day the dog passed on, just saying "Shadow, crate" once and the dog immediately went to his crate.

246 Has anyone calculated how many BTUs it takes to refine used cooking oil into Jet-A?

As compared to how many BTUs it takes to refine an AVERAGE crude into Jet-A.

Let us stipulate that we're not using West Texas Sweet Crude as the base, 'cause that stuff is damn near ready to run as Diesel, right off the well head.

Oh, and while we're at it?

Let's not forget to ADD IN the necessary BTUs required to render whatever vegetative manner ended up AS that "used cooking oil" in the first place.

Oh, and the BTU's burned up by the various restaurants that resulted in said cooking oils being "used", in the first place.

Yeah, "maths".

But it all either adds up, or it doesn't.

I'll pony up all my chips, that it doesn't.

You know, the hell of it is, straight cooking oil burns just fine. Kitchen grease fires are thing, right? So much of a thing that commercial kitchens all have CO2 nozzles over the deep fryers.

You can burn used cooking oil, as is, in a Diesel engine. Just filter it, and keep the engine and fuel hot, so it stays fluid enough. Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil, you know.

"Bio-diesel" is made by reacting used cooking oil/fats with potassium hydroxide, and anhydrous methanol, in a process called "trans-esterification". And that requires costly reagents. Glycerin is a by-product.

260 Virginia Democrats are contemplating lighting the powder keg that ignites the second Civil War.

'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution and National Guard for police who fail to enforce gun control legislation
https://t.co/spy9K0I8TG

Virginia Democratic officials, however, already say local law enforcement supporting these resolutions will face consequences if they do not carry out any law the state Legislature passes.

"I would hope they either resign in good conscience, because they cannot uphold the law which they are sworn to uphold, or they're prosecuted for failure to fulfill their oath," Democratic Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly told the Washington Examiner of local county police who may refuse to enforce future gun control measures. "The law is the law. If that becomes the law, you don't have a choice, not if you're a sworn officer of the law."

Democratic Virginia Rep. Donald McEachin suggested cutting off state funds to counties that do not comply with any gun control measures that pass in Richmond.

"They certainly risk funding, because if the sheriff's department is not going to enforce the law, they're going to lose money. The counties' attorneys offices are not going to have the money to prosecute because their prosecutions are going to go down," he said.

McEachin also noted that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could call the National Guard, if necessary.

I have seen and handled crude oil. It ranges from sticky and sulfurous black tar, to pale green runny fluid that your car could run on. But even the nastiest has a clean sort of "chemical" smell compared to used cooking oil, which just makes you want to puke.

And I live less than a mile from where the Emancipation Proclamation was read to the Galveston slaves, a full two years after Lincoln had issued said directive.

It is from whence the minor holiday called "Juneteenth" arises.

310 Cook a good filet to a kind-of-hot Medium-Rare.

Plate it, and plate the sides and serve.

By time you put knife to steak, it'll have self-cooked to a Cool-Medium, as part of the process of post-grill heat retention.

To my plate, that perfect merge of Medium Rare into Medium is the Bliss Point for a quality steak.

When done perfectly, you really don't know whether to call it Medium Rare or Medium.

And yes, I do want that wee bit of crusty char on the surface, and a beautiful, bloody stripe in the middle. But a HOT beautiful, bloody stripe in the middle.

The perfectly done baked potato with a delightfully chewy, kosher-salted skin, loaded to drowning with unsalted butter and sharp cheddar is the perfect accompaniment to such a steak.

As is the ice cold pilsner glass of your favorite beer.

Any prisoner wise enough to order such as his last meal, deserves at least a few hours reprieve, so as to enjoyably digest such a repast.

Then, cook said prisoner at +10,00 volts AC, for two minutes, and serve to the undertaker when done.

Virginia Rep. Donald McEachin
Born: October 10, 1961 (age 58 years), Nuremberg, Germany

Part 2:

3/19/19 - https://wtkr.com/2019/03/19/northam-vetoes-sanctuary-cities-bill/

Immigrants rights groups scored a victory today when Governor Northam vetoed a bill that would have prohibited localities from restricting federal enforcement of immigration laws. The bill was considered an attempt to wipe out so called "sanctuary cities" which limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Some cities in other states have refused to work with federal agents to hold immigrants to be deported, while one state, Arizona, gave local law enforcement power to act as immigration agents.

In a statement the Governor wrote "Police divisions across the Commonwealth have a long tradition of engaging in community policing strategies, and many have determined that it is more important to develop a relationship with immigrant communities in order to keep safe all of those who live within the locality." Northam also said the bill would send the message that "local law enforcement officials are to be feared and avoided rather than trusted and engaged."

Opponents of the bill argued it would limit immigrants cooperation with law enforcement out of a fear they would be turned over to ICE agents. They also claimed under current Virginia law it is nearly impossible to create sanctuary cities in the Commonwealth

339 True, the Argentines don't know much about beef or food, but they are known to use sauces like chimichurri with certain cuts/preparations. France likewise not much known for its cuisine, but there are bistros that do a steak in cognac-peppercorn sauce that is almost edible.

For the better filets personally I prefer just kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper too, but there are lots of great beef cuts and lots of great preparations.

There's a grilled flank steak recipe I love [and so far everyone else has too] where I have two very different sauces to drizzle across the thin cut across-the-grain slices - chimichurri and a chipotle-cream sauce.

It's fun finding ways to make the lesser cuts [that sometimes have more flavor] appealing.

342 OK, Gun Store Story.

Visited my favored store for Black Rifle gear, knowledge and expertise.

Full-on Class III dealer, she supplies many (most) of the local Cop Shops, with every kind of black rifle gear, from Precision Bolties and Optics down to every known aftermarket trigger link and backplate for a Glock as is known to exist.

She has forgotten more about an AR-15 or M-16, than any of us here, and I'll take the strongest challenger to that assertion to her store, and let you lose the contest.

So, I go in there today with a particular rifle in hand and task therewith for her gunsmith to accomplish.

I'm the only other customer in the store, and I'm waiting behind a guy who is counting out something over $17k in cash money.

For the order of a pair of Barret M-81 .50 cal Semi-Autos.

Transaction and paperwork complete, she tells him she'll have them in this Friday, they wrap up and he leaves.

She askes me to get his license plate out of the front window, which I do.

Short story long, she'd already texted her BATF rep, she had already Facebooked the customer's name and info, and had also noticed another gun-store's paperwork in his stack of papers.

Calls to ATF, Houston Gang Task Force and a few other exchanges transpire. I get Shanghai'd onto one of the calls to describe the driver of the car for the guy, said driver who never emerged from the car.

As the situation was as I left it.

He's pretty clearly a Cartel puke, shopping many Houston gun stores to take as many as ten Barretts back into the Badlands.

Three different agencies are now triangulating on his movements and actions.

He really was quite the hinky player, with bags of cash and a stated intent to buy as many as ten of those Barrett fifties.

I'll let y'all know what all happens, later, As the Barretts Turn.

In the battle with the left to prevent the installation of a political system that would result in utter failure two things have to be kept in mind always.

First, the country must remain united. Can't function as a Republic otherwise.

Second, we must return to governance as laid out in the blueprint--our Constitution. Otherwise all the struggle will be for naught.

359 As promising as Barr is, so far the administration as a whole continues its fecklessness/weakness on what is actually *the* biggest rule of law crisis - the "sanctuary" insurrection. The Keystone Coup is yuuuge and much sexier, but does not have a body count or a direct serious social cost.

The number of jurisdictions in insurrection, and the damage, have gone up dramatically, without pause, since the entrumpenation.

It's a jaw-dropping example of the arrogance, recklessness, and cowardice of the Uniparty in the Beltway and their counterparts in cities and state capitals, and Trump has not made any effort to politicize it [i.e. make it an unavoidable issue on which elected reps are forced to take votes and positions]. Of course the electorate just sits there and takes it, even if it opposes the vile idiocy by enormous bipartisan margins.

362 I'm think of giving a gift to everyone who comes to our Christmas Eve Service. We have a small Church on a back street, and we don't have the greatest internet presence (Don't do FB), so unless I'm astounded this year we will have about the same number of people we had last year which is about 30-40. I/the church cannot afford a gift for everyone, I was thinking of typing out on nice paper the things I found on the cereal box which I posted several days ago from the back of the cereal box which included suggestions for lowering stress which I adapted to include a suggestion about a relationship with God.
What do you think of that idea? Have you ever gotten a gift from a church for Christmas Eve?

I think you have a very lovely nice attitude, but we have people who only show up on Christmas and I think surprises are sometimes a good thing-to get them to think. I have to do something "out of the box because in this world people need a relationship with God" Heck, i asked the patriarch of the church who's in his 80's and is sort of like the unofficial mayor and was born here if I could put out a sign for just one day saying "R____his first name would love it if you came to church for Christmas Eve. I think he thought I was joking-which I was sort of but they all know him (He says he's the oldest resident of the town-which mostly has houses dating from the 1840-1930's and is lovely town. Heck, non church friends are arranging some food train for him so that he could have meals while he and his sick wife are recovering.

387 Well, I am off to the snoozer. Got the rear tires mounted on my old Suburban today, another epic struggle. Poor old tire machine did not have the jam to bust 16" tires of aluminum rims; leastwise not with cold, frozen tires, and cold, frozen air from the compressor. But I persisted, and got them off, using main force of arm muscles, aided by a crowbar, LOL. Cleaned up the rims, and the new tires went on slick as greased snot. Balanced them, too.

I torqued the lug nuts, and then drove to the tire store, and had them retorque them, and check the tire pressure. Said to the owner, "well, i don't trust my own work." Him, "really?" Me: "more to the point, I don't trust my equipment, like the tire gauge, or the torque wrench, to be reliably accurate when it's this cold." "You have a point there."

Anyway, got rid of a pair of weather-checked tires, and replaced them with a pair that are all but new, sans weather checks. Just making the old 'burb road-ready for the migration south to AZ at year-end.

Be well, Horde.

Finished with Ode to Joy and Nessum Dorma and flat out nailed them at the end of a two hour concert in which he gave everything in his repretoire.

A magic evening - never to be forgotten.

A T and T Center sold out. Not a single open seat to be seen. Met people there from Houston, Corpus Christi, Austin, Dallas, and even El Paso. If you're from Southern Texas and weren't there you missed a once in a life time event.

"Bit", meaning, descriptions down to the half-inch in height and a clothing run-down that Dior would envy.

You would be amazed how much time you can buy to size up an adversary, all under the guise of banal conversation.

Condition Hot Orange Bordering on Red.

With a smile and soft voice.

I won't describe in detail, but I went into the store on Orange, because the driver out in the car raised all the hackles on the neck.

My suspicions were correct, but not called into action.

We live in an interesting world, Horde.

But when he did he no-sh*t cursed Trump with his dying non-partisan breath for helping the economy and American citizens and suggesting that maybe the feds could keep interest rates low when someone is actually helping repair what they f*cked up.

"Today we see something very different and far more sinister. Nihilistic forces are dismantling policies to protect our air, water, and climate. And they seek to discredit the pillars of our democracy: voting rights and fair elections, the rule of law, the free press, the separation of powers, the belief in science, and the concept of truth itself."

If they can figure out how to do it for 99 cents per channel per month (and they'd still make a killing because they're selling ads, too), I'd probably support it.

Speaking of still unclear, I still don't get how we pay $100+ for cable/satellite and STILL get the pleasure of watching two hours of ads during a one hour football game that is stretched out to three hours for said ads.

500 Full version of the serenity prayer.

God, give me the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the thing which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, trusting that You will make things right, if I surrender to Your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

No. "They" is used as a plural for the single "gender neutral" person because the number of demons inhabiting the "gender neutral" person is plural.

Who Is the Best Two Hit Wonder Band?

Two hits. No one ever thinks about the Two Hit Tyros. Once you have your second hit, a lot of people just forget about you.

For some reason, one hit wonders tend to be remembered.

It's hard to define what a One Hit Wonder is, and I imagine it's even harder to say what a Two Hit Tyro is.

Almost all "one" hit wonders technically have a second "hit," because the record company releases another single in the wake of the first big hit and the second song gets huge exposure and airplay and even charts. A bit.

But it's really just an obligatory follow-up release. It's not a hit on its own merit. It's a "timeslot hit," as they used to say about TV, when there were timeslots.

I mean, even one of the ultimate One Hit Wonders, The Knack, actually had a second semi-hit in the wake of My Sharona.

But pretty much I'm the only person in the world who even remembers their "follow-up hit," Good Girls Don't (But I Do). It's pretty much just me and Alan Hunter.

So anyway, if there's already argument about which one hit wonders are really one hit wonders, there's going to be twice as much argument about two hit wonders.

Still.

Easy Andy proposes Golden Earring as the best two-hit wonder band, with Radar Love in the 70s and Twillight Zone/Bullet to the Bone in the 80s.

Are there others?

As usual, this is a thread for discussion and debate only; no dueling or knife-fighting.

My candidate, besides the great Golden Earring (great topic btw ace):

Climax Blues Band. Even though they were together forever, they had only two semi-big hits, "Couldn't Get It Right" in 1978 and "I Love You" in about 1981.

I love both songs.

The Motels are an American new wave band from Berkeley, California that is best known for the singles "Only the Lonely" and "Suddenly Last Summer", each of which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1982 and 1983, respectively. In 1980, The Motels song "Total Control" reached No. 7 on the Australian chart, and their song "Danger" reached No. 15 on the French chart.Wikipedia

The Pina Colada Song.

Him, him, HIM, what's she gonna do about HIM?
She's gonna have to do without him,
It's him or its me, me, ME, no one gets to get it for free.
It's me or it's him.

Him was a surprise hit, the B-side of the Pina Colada Song and if you play them in order, it's actually kind of dark.

As in, the guy and the girl were debating about breaking up, but stick together. Yay!

And then you flip the disc over and she's cheating on him.

Him is great because the intro verse is so specific.

78 I was reading this, and the second it came to the Thesis Question I was like, "The Knack!"
Look, maybe people don't remember "Good Girls Don't". But The Knack had a third hit-worthy single,"Frustrated".
So maybe they would have been three-hit thingamajigs if it wasn't for Tipper Gore. Anyone who thinks "My Sharona" wasn't censored on the radio doesn't remember the day.

My first concert was the opening gig of The Police Synchronicity tour, which featured The Fixx, A Flock of Seagulls, Simple Minds, and Joan Jett ND the Blackhearts, which might explain my choices. (Ministry, before they went industrial, opened, but I didn't get to the venue until after their set.)

When Quay Lewd (the World's Tallest Rock Star) came out, the first thing he did was ax if anybody in the crowd had any downers. A girl sitting next to me started digging around in her purse and set one on the edge of the stage rather surreptitiously. The bass player's eye's lit up, he walked up and snatched it.

They also did "Square Pegs" which is probably a hit

They had great lyrics.

I also liked the song "Go on" for the lyrics

I liked him
He didn't like me
He was the greatest
I was only debris
Why do I always pick the ones
who are bad for me

He was coarse
But he was precision
I smelled money
It was by the television when I woke up
If I don't want to keep getting shot
why do I give 'em ammunition?

Oh no, not again
Another one that's crazy
Another one gets obsessive
Another one gets angry
Another one gets dependent
and thinks I have the answers

Another one with a coldness
that should have been a warning
I can't go on, I'll go on
I can't go on, I'll go on

We weren't desperate
I don't know what happened
I tried to change him
He only rarely hit me
Why when so many sweet ones would make it so easy

He was nice
I got brutal
He understood
I didn't kiss him
'Cause if he wants me
he must not be good enough

Oh no, not again
Am I a magnet for losers?
A net for the helpless?
I'm no social worker!
Why do I chase the faces
that always reject me?
Is there something else
that's as fun as running with trouble?
I can't go on, I'll go on

Him is a great song, and after Pina Colada Song, makes you believe Rupert still has his balls. ;-)

Another big artist with only two big smashes: Jermaine Jackson, brother of Michael.

"Let's Get Serious," 1980, and "Do What You Do", 1984. I especially love the first one.

what was Quarterflash's original band name?

281 Both Men at Work (It's A Mistake) and Cake (Sheep Go To Heaven, Short Skirt, Long Jacket) had more than two memorable hits. Although I'm not sure if you're using the technical definition of 'hit', or the definition of 'shit I remember from MTV back in the day when they still played music'.

God, Youtubing all this gets me a real pile of shit in the auto-play. Goddamn Modern English...

I prefer the English version.

This bothered me for a long time, because I spent years studying German, so that's the one I should prefer, right?

But upon reflection, I realized that what I enjoyed was the German accent, which is far more alluring that merely speaking German.

That being said, death metal is better in the original German.

389 Oh what the heck. Here's the lyrics to Yonkers Girl:

I met a little girl in Yonkers, not far from New Rochelle
And every Sunday evening within her home I'd dwell
I went to take a little walk through a dark and lonesome place
I drew a rail from off the fence and smashed her in the face

I then took out a piece of rope and I tied her to a tree
I said that I will kill you here if you won't marry me
I then took out my weeping knife, these words I will attest
I said 'if you don't marry me, I'll plunge it through your breast'

I then took out my 44 and I aimed it at her head
I said if you won't marry me then I will kill you dead
Then down upon her knees she got, for mercy she did cry
'Oh Donny dear, don't kill me here, I'm not prepared to die'

But I did not heed her mournful cries, I only beat her more
'Til the ground around my feet was covered with her gore
I took her by her long black hair and I drug her 'round and 'round
And I chucked her into the river that flows by Yonkers town

Go down, go down, you Yonkers girl, with a dark and blackened eye
Go down, go down, you Yonkers girl, I loved you on the sly
These words she said as she drifted by, they cut me to my heart
'Your love has changed, you are deranged, and now you and I must part"

390 197 >>>what was Quarterflash's original band name?

I don't know but I think John Bon Jovi was part of it for a little bit.
Posted by: ace at December 11, 2019 08:38 PM (PbpT7)

Quarterflash was originally "Seafood Mama".

And lead singer Rindy Ross was exactly that. Yum.

Saw them as their big hit was climbing up the charts for the second time, at the Trout Lake Tavern in Trout Lake, WA, a tiny town just over the Columbia River about 2 hours east of Portland.

I have never seen so much cocaine in one place, at one time, consumed by so many people, anywhere.

But that was in '89 or '90, so most of those people are either dead or in witness protection now.

Another two-hit: Simply Red. Holding Back the Years, If You Don't Know Me By Now. Also an amazing performer who has way more great songs. Check YouTube for Simply Red live.

Thomas Dolby didn't do One Night in Bangkok. He did do Hyperactive which was nominally a hit.

Maybe:

Oasis - Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova

Black Crowes - Hard to Handle and She talks to Angels

Counting Crows - Mr. Jones and Round Here

Somebody mentioned Tears for Fears - Shout and Everybody wants to rule the world. They also did Mad World, which got covered for the Donnie Darko soundtrack

Glen Frey (sans Eagles)- You Belong to the City and The Heat is On

Don Henley (also sans Eagles) - Boys of Summer and All she wants to do is Dance, though maybe Dirty Laundry was a hit.

The Pina Colada Song

OK, I'm going to vent. I had to take public transportation to high school (aka a bus) and they played this song incessantly on the radio. Over and over again. And, IMHO, it's not that they're thinking of breaking up, they're both looking around for someone new. Both of them. And let's be honest here: if you're in a relationship, and go out to meet someone else, and it turns out to be your current partner, I don't think "oh, it's you," will be your reaction.

More like "WTH? You're actively dating behind my back? Pack you bags now."

/or whatever people said in the late 70s.

505 I used to play in a band, and we once found ourselves playing in the same town as The Donnas at the short peak of their fame, ca. "Take it Off" and their SNL appearance.

After our gig we stumbled into a club where The Donnas happened to be having their afterparty. Lots of media, paparazzi and all that shit.

The bass player called it an early night, but the other three Donnas came over and asked we band we were in, sat with us for quite a while and shared all the comp-ed trays of shits they were getting with us. They asked if we had a CD and we gave them our demo to play on the tour bus.

Very nice, friendly and beautiful young ladies. It was a great night.

If you listen to the track "The Wall" on Leftoverture, that's what it's about. The Wall is Christianity in the song. Dust in the Wind is also brilliant, and illustrated the futility of life without Christ.

Leftoverture, that's what it's about. The Wall is Christianity in the

Nah. It was just Livgren and Dave Hope, and some session guys Livgren hear started using regularly.

697 Foghat definitely is a "no" if you consider Europe (bigger there). Can't do Whitesnake - had more than 2 in the U.S.
Whoever tossed out Rick Springfield was impressive, as was Flock of Seagulls (even if they were not impressive as a band).
I will toss into the fray The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The songs "Jackie Blue" and "If You Wanna Get to Heaven" are very different, but had some solid air play in the pre-MTV days.

Posted by: BigSam at December 11, 2019 09:13 PM (5zAjT)

698 I always thought "The Outfield" was kind of a good

maybe another, and that was about it.

You think so even with Purple?

There is lots of really good Whitesnake before the Tawny Kitaen era. It was a blues band, with some of the members of Deep Purple. Sample:

https://tinyurl.com/r492yxb

New Coverdale is a poser. Old Coverdale is not.

/actually Coverdale is still doing the crotch grabbing shit he did in the 80's, which now makes him seem like a creepy long haired grandpa. And his coming from someone who loves old Whitesnake.

802 And maybe, Berlin is a two hit wonder but everyone disagrees on the two. Take My Breath Away and Sex are the two I heard but other people may have a better selection.

Til Tuesday is another example. "VOICES CARRY!!1 and 'Coming Up Close' / 'What About Love' / 'Looking Over My Shoulder' / . . ."

What makes me laugh is when they say Voices Carry and Suddenly Last Summer. [psst, that last one was the Motels]

Ted Nugent comes to mind. Some kickass albums, though Double Live Gonzo sounds like it was recorded on a portable Craig cassette player. He had "Cat Scratch Fever" and maybe "Stranglehold" and that was about it.

Sammy Hagar spent much of his life snorting powder, playing loud rock ampersand roll, downing tequila, and screwing hot women.

Sammy is healthy and active.

He is the same age as Bill Clinton.

Vacationed in Cabo in 2002, went to Cabo Wabo, owned (at the time anyway) by Sammy Hagar.

He came in one night, a weeknight in January, got up on stage and started playing with the house band. Then he went around to the maybe 50 or 60 people that happened to be there in the audience.

He was slamming the tequila with the same name as his bar.

He was funny and it was a great time.

But as "Adam and the Ants" he had a bunch on just 1 album Kings of the Wild Frontier

here were three hit singles from this LP, including "Dog Eat Dog" (reaching No. 4 on the UK singles charts in October 1980), "Antmusic" (No. 2 in January 1981) and "Kings of the Wild Frontier" (No. 2 in March 1981, previously No. 48 in August 1980). In addition, "Antmusic" made it to No. 1 in Australia for five weeks. In the UK, both "Antmusic" and "Kings of the Wild Frontier" were kept from the top spot by songs by the then recently murdered John Lennon.

I played in a PF tribute for a while.

The hits were Money, and ABITW.

Maybe Comfy, but that wasn't a hit.

If you want a laugh, go to youtube and search for "Worst Band Ever Butchers Pink Floyd"

You'll never hear PF the same again.

I read somewhere that Take Me to the River paid them more in royalties from being used for the Billy Bass talking fish than from any other recording, by a large factor.

They were pissed off at first, but then, the royalty checks started flowing in, and suddenly, they were big fans of Billy Bass.

Well, the Canadian band Crowbar probably qualifies as a one-hit wonder, with their monster hit "Oh What a Feeling":

Great tune, but totally out of character for the band, which was a boogie and blues band. This song is much more characteristic of their style, and they survived for years doing that sort of thing:

I'm skeptical that the Talking Heads ever charted top 40 anyway, much less the TomTom club.

Just checked, they had 3 Top 40 hits, only liked Take Me to the River out of the 3.

Once in a Lifetime and Life During Wartime didn't hit top 40. Stupid charts.

I don't know about a ton. But they had quite a few off their first album. Their second album sucked.

Ace has linked Todd in the Shadows for his one hit wonderland in the past and while he is annoyingly SJWish, he also has a series called "Trainwrecords" about albums that are such a mess that they basically ruin the careers. He did Hootie's "Fair Weather Johnson."

Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope from Kansas became evangelical Christians, and that busted up the band. Livgren and Hope were part of the band AD.

I heard most of the songs on Supertramp's "Breakfast in America " album at one time or another, but sone that might be from listening to a classic rock station that really liked the band. The title cur, "Goodbye Stranger," and "The Logical Song" were hits when the album was first released, i think.

Pollard (Michael J. R.I.P.) and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level

"Kip , Reb and Rod had more talent in one cell biopsied from a a single extruded hemorrhoid than a million flannel-shirted Grunge puppies. "

Rod Morgenstein is a monster player.

He was a chops guy, then he had to learn how to lay down a groove, which he obviously could do.

Made his playing better all around. Some of the craziest but most in the pocket and solid drumming I've ever seen has come from his sticks.

1303 It is transparently clear that the best of the best of the best two-hit wonders are the chanteurs known to tout le monde as Milli-Vanilli. The totality of their commitment to their art was evident even so far as their evocation of the Predator (avatar and icon of mass culture and a rejection of Teutonic cries to get to the chappa)as their mode of self-presentation on the world stage.

Their lyrics speak to us even as they themselves eschew actually condescending to sing them, and in so doing accept the death of the author and their sad recognition of the inevitability of the same. The exquisite pain they voluntarily endure on our behalf looms from every syllable of "Oo, Ou, Ou, I love you.: (the third "ou" being the tell that resonates not unlike the mathematical precision of the golden mean). In the end, they proved to us that we, not they, were the ones not in synch. To their memory we light a votive candle in our hearts.

Reckoning: Techno_Fog Posts Thread Quoting the Tweets of Those In the Media (Including the Fake Conservative AEI Media) Who Perpetrated Comey's and Schiff's Lies on the Public For Three Grueling Years

I'm not going to post them all -- there are a lot of bad actors, obviously -- but you can scroll through the Hall of Shame here.

Much of this has to do with the lie that the Steel "dossier" wasn't even part of the FISA application. Horowitz reports this is false -- the "dossier" was "central and essential" to the FISA warrant. A previous warrant application without the Steele lies had been rejected.

Schiff and the Deep Staters knew that the Steele dossier was a lie, but used it to get a warrant anyway -- requiring them to later deny that the Steele dossier had been included in the FISA application.

And there were a lot of Fusion Kens and Fusion Nats in the media willing -- nay, eager! -- to lie and lie to the public about this.

Others stake their journalistic reputations on the claim that most of the Steele dossier has been "verified"!

And they still haven't issued any retractions for their lies, and they never will.

WaPo reporter @shaneharris has been lying to the public this whole time. https://t.co/CIb3gRfBdj

11 Willowed from earlier, not mine but-This needs to go to Trump's camp-

Just to make sure this is clear:

Hillary Clinton's campaign worked with foreign governments to interfere with the 2016 presidential campaign, and she paid to create the dossier. The CIA and the FBI lied, falsified evidence, planted spies in the Trump campaign, and spied on Trump and his staff from 2015 until 2018.

Because of all of this, Trump needs to be impeached.

And they never gave a crap if they were right anyway. It's the narrative that counts to them and they own it and can push it at will. But that's WHY they HATE PDT. Because he fights back. And he inspires others I believe to do so as well. the people who gulped down all this cock are too far gone to save and I don't want to save them anyway.

Convenient, isn't it?

75 Willowed apparently while typing, but I was impressed enough with the comparison that I'm posting it again:

--

This reminds me of the John Gray "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" claim, which went like this: Men talk about practical problems and seek practical solutions. Women, on the other hand, often talk just to establish rapport and seek emotional validation and fresh reaffirmations of closeness.

--

I was recently told something that made a lot of sense.

Women's thoughts are like spaghetti. Men's are like waffles.

You can't pull one noodle without affecting every other noodle, piece of cheese, sauce, spice, etc.

On a waffle, you can pour syrup into every space and, if you cut a chunk out of that waffle, the syrup in the other sections remain essentially unaffected.

Do with it as you will.

Steven Pressfield's excellent novel Gates of Fire. While the 300 Spartans are marching to the Hot Gates, they meet a travelling salesman with a foreign accent. That phrase is the salesman's catchphrase.

The Spartans also get a good laugh out of him, because he has a sign on his cart that's supposed to read "Only the best service for you, my friend" but he effed up the spelling so it says "Only the best service for you, my foreskin."

It's an excellent novel. I've had three or four copies because people would borrow and steal them

213 I've been wondering for a while now why so many Leftrard twatterers kept insisting that the Steele Dossier "was completely validated" and that the FISA App "didn't rely on Steele at all anyway." Where on earth were they getting this (mis)info?

I finally realized it yesterday, after reading up on Nunes Memo (which Horowitz TOTALLY vindicated): they were all relying on ADAM SCHIFF'S " MEMO" that Schiff spewed out to refute Nunes -- and was (naturally) all lies, top to bottom.

I feel so stupid now. OF COURSE they all relied on Schiff, whom I never wasted time or breath on reading!

Glenn Simpson was featured as a major character in the book "The Plot
Against the President". He was obviously not in the purview of this
Horowitz report. But I think Simpson, his hires, and his slimy
business practices are going to turn out to be major players (and
losers) in the upcoming Durham-Barr theater.

I go there today to cancel, kind of tough to find the link, but did so and clicked.

Amazon had a "we really don't want to see you go" messages, but after I clicked "cancel", a new message came up and said "add another month for free, just by clicking this link, and we will also notify you before you get charged."

289 Something occurs to me.

When someone is running a con, they often hire someone as a fake expert to assure the mark that everything is on the up and up. Say I'm trying to pass a fake diamond. I tell you "Baron Von Strindberg is a famous diamond expert!" when he's my friend in the wig and monocle.

But a better con is to get a real expert convinced the diamond is real, right? Then he passes any possible background check. Say show him a real diamond, which he verifies, then switch it with the fake. but it is still not perfect - the expert might just turn on you if he sniffs a con.

The best con is if you can convince the the real expert to advocate on your behalf, without him ever knowing it was a con. A great way to do this is to ratchet up the con.
Say start your friend in a wig and convince a low level expert the diamond is real. Then get that expert to convince another expert. And those two experts to convince a third. Play your cards right and you have a hundred experts telling everyone the diamond is real. they are all relying on the reputation of the entire business. "Diamond-r-us says it is real, and those guys are never wrong!"

Sometimes, if the ego is big enough, those experts will deny it was a con to their graves, because he could never be fooled, and 100 experts can't possibly be wrong.

I think we see all three versions here. Fake experts. real experts that were fooled, and real experts convinced to become advocates. The media were conned, straight up, by their sources. But having huge egos, being easily flattered, and hating the president, and having a herd mentality (well, maybe I'm wrong, but what about so and so with the Washington Post?").

And, lastly, in this case, it is absurdly easy since there is not fuckign diamond.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice

I've complained about this a lot, but Twitter is the most estrogenizing toxin known to man, or to half-man shmans as you see on the internet.

I have this weird affliction, called heterosexual masculinity, which keeps me from offering strident, childishly-intense opinions about womanly creature comforts and sundry num-nums.

I don't think people should have strident opinions about trivialities. Children have strident opinions about trivialities.

Men don't. Men are supposed to be wise enough to know which things are trifling, and which things deserve their concern, and express themselves accordingly.

If it's important, you say something.

If it's not important, you practice the most ancient of all manly arts, the Manly Art of Shutting the F*** Up Once in a While and Giving Your C***slappers a Rest.

I'm glad to know that there's a cure for this affliction of normal masculine reserve, how, and that Jonah Goldberg is proof of that.

Apparently, being on Social Media all day long is a cure for normal, regular heterosexual masculinity. It's a feminizing and juvenilizing force which turns toxic men into pliable weakling children and fat little girls trying to advance in the social hierarchy.

Does that mean men shouldn't talk about these things? No, of course not. It's just that men... we're goal-oriented. Or we used to be, before the Internet gave us permission to engage our innner prepubescent sexually-androgynous tween.

I had a question a few weeks ago about what Duncan Donuts coffee tastes great at the store but very meh at home, and asked about it in a comment thread; another commenter said "Maybe you just have to grind the beans yourself and use the pour-over to get the same flavor."

This is a short back-and-forth in which there is a clear goal, and a response that is directly, and briefly, directed towards helping me meet my goal. We did not use the opportunity to bond over it, nor did we use it as a segueway into complaining that our boyfriends don't buy us flowers frequently enough.

Compare that to Jonah Goldberg, JV Last, David French and the rest of the Twitter Mean Girls Half-Men Chitty-Chat Coffee Clatch, oohing and aahing like women every day on Twitter about their favorite kitchen appliances, and whining and bitching about which vegetables they continue having a manbaby aversion towards.

They're vegetables, Little Girls. They're not Twinkies. They're not supposed to taste nummy. At best, they taste pretty good, but in a particular way you have to cultivate a taste for.

And also, David French: Who the fuck gives a fuck whether you like kale or not? Why do you even care if you like it or not?

Why do you think anyone else cares?

I realize that this is a bit odd for a blogger to say, but I have come to a conclusion about opinions: People need to stop having so many opinions.

You know who has opinions about everything? Blowhards, assholes, and lunatics.

Sane people do not care one way or the other (or at least do not care enough to bother expending the breath and saliva necessary to say otherwise) about 95% of all the people, objects, and concepts in the universe.

But every "man" on Twitter seems to imagine that the world is just begging for their 8th grade mix-tapes of Stuff I Really Like or Don't Like At All (Pee-Yoo!).

If you don't like kale, don't eat it. What the fuck is this bullshit with alleged "men" sitting around in a little quilting bee talking about food and appliances and movies all day?

This reminds me of the John Gray "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" claim, which went like this: Men talk about practical problems and seek practical solutions. Women, on the other hand, often talk just to establish rapport and seek emotional validation and fresh reaffirmations of closeness.

This, he claimed, is why men and women are often frustrated with each other. When a woman complains about, say, work, she wants emotional support. She's not looking for some kind of practical solution like "Just update your resume and find another job," which is the sort of thing that a man would usually say (until he realizes that that's not what women want to hear).

So while men, such as myself and the commenters here, will talk about these things in the interests of actually getting something done, David French, Jonah Goldberg, JV Last and the rest of the low-T very-womanly half-men brigade are constantly babbling on twitter about their What's Hot and What's Not lists, and starting Twitter threads nominating things which are on their To Do list, or, more wickedly, their To-Don't list.

Also: This seems to be a tactic employed by betas (or lower than betas): to appear "cute," cute like children or cute like squirrels, rather than, you know, like men.

Little boys are cute, and act cute. Some men are lucky enough to be attractive, but if they act cute, act like little boys, I have a feeling that a lot of women quickly go from feeling sexual to feeling Saharan.

And I sit here thinking: What the hell is wrong with you? Are you... gender curious?

Are you this immature? Did Twitter and social media give you permission, in your view, to go back to the good old days of being a child?

To reset the system at -- what do IT guys call it? -- the Last Safe Configuration of your lives? The last time you felt secure and happy?

Did you "men" ever learn how to be men? Or did you learn once, but decide it was too "toxic," and so refashioned yourselves into Twitter-imprisoned metrosexuals and cloying little children?

Complaint:

I don't like kale.

Solution:

Then don't eat kale. Also, get the fuck off of Twitter if you have time to complain about kale. Do some squats in your spare time.

Complaint:

I don't like Indian food. (From Tom Nichols, who does not look like the sort of guy who would turn his nose up at any food that includes a lot of sugar and carbs.)

Solution:

Then don't get Indian food. Also, start intermittent fasting. You're grossly obese and it makes me sad to look at you.

Boast:

I just love my high-end espresso maker!

Solution:

Fine, I guess. Have some coffee. But also maybe consider the possibility that most men don't really enthuse over kitchen appliances, and maybe you should do likewise. (Note: grilling equipment is not part of the kitchen, obviously.)

Also, do some deadlifts. You're all hunched over like Gollum when he's masturbating furtively on a public bus. Some deadlifts might straighten you out a bit.

Am I wrong? Am I being too crochety, or am I guilty of enforcing Outdated Notions of Masculinity? Am I guilty of perpetuating Toxic Notions of Masculinity?

I don't think so. What about you guys?

And women, actually -- do you women ever look at these "men" babbling like little girls about Captain Marvel and think uncharitable thoughts?

But these "men" aren't exchanging information -- practical stuff like advice, recommendations, and recipes (actionable intelligence) -- but just to gab with the same shriveled low-t soybags they gab with every single day to further reaffirm that they remain emotionally-cherished members of the Twitter Mean Girls clique.

Used to be you insulted a Man face to face, you took your own personal safety in hand. There could very well be PHYSICAL retribution.

Women, on the other hand, were primarily safe from physical retribution because most other Women would not punch them out, and if a Man did, OTHER Men would take care of him. So they were free to say pretty insulting things.

Now we have created a place, the internet, where Men are SAFE from physical retribution, and so now act more like Women did all along.

Boy BFF (who can be waaaaay more of a girl than I am) and I agreed yonks ago to start convos about problems with a disclaimer of hey I'm just venting and need you to make affirmative noises now and then or hey this is a problem and I need your help with a solution.

It is absolutely stunning how much more effectively you can converse with a person when you make clear this is a bitch call vs omg what the hell should I do.

I presume, based on nothing but a WAG, that all the stupid bitchy cat fight stuff is a quest to hit mandated engagement numbers. Hey, have to get X number of retweets and likes and replies. Fine, here's a cute dog.

Again, that's just a WAG but still I think that is some of it. The rest is that they are 13 year old Mean Girls.

25 And, in one post, Ace nails the reason the NeverTrumpers hate PDT: PDT is masculine and has no time for the emasculated problems of the hissy fit brigade.

The term "cocksucker" is not the preferred usage. The preferred version is either "corksoaker" or "cokesacker."

33 Greetings:

I live in the San Francisco BAy area. The local classical music station has a female announcer who requests requests from her listeners. So, I sent her one...

"My masculinity is in need of a giddy-up. So why don't you cut the theme music from "The Magnificent Seven" out of your musical corral and let it go for a good long gallop."

Several days later, she played the music but failed to mention the "My masculingity..." part.

34 >>>>The only thing I disagree with is that this should only be a guy thing. I hate, hate, hate when women do this. Jeebus, use the brain God gave you and talk about something intelligent. There's more to life then clothes, who's dating who and whether Meghan Markle is pretty or not.

most women I like and most women here are more like this, but I give women more allowance in this area. I don't hold it against them if they get cute and twee.

I mean, it's cute for women to act cute.

Incidentally, I've been able to do Dedlifts again after a long hiatus.
No Skwats. Never be able to do Skwats, again. But that's okay.
I can do Binch and Dedlifts. That's enough.

38 Also, do some deadlifts. You're all hunched over like Gollum when he's masturbating furtively on a public bus. Some deadlifts might straighten you out a bit.

This is why I can't quit this site.

I read that book and found out I was actually a man since I never ask for directions, don't apologize before expressing my opinion, and can only dole out so much sympathy before I snap.

45 I think there's a use for twitter but it does seem to bring out the old biddy in a lot of people

I don't think people should have strident opinions about trivialities. Children have strident opinions about trivialities.

Men don't. Men are supposed to be wise enough to know which things are trifling, and which things deserve their concern, and express themselves accordingly.

Sure, that makes sense. Its not just an awareness, its a lack of time and energy to focus on crap like that. Yes, a guy can appreciate a great meal and talk about it, but you know, while he's fixing the gutter, changing the plugs out in the car, or doing something else constructive, protective, or creative.

The biggest problem that we have in modern culture is too much freaking free time and entertainment. I mean, how many hours did I spend on here today? Like 8? Typing little messages on a blog comment section?

I got work done too, but it was so easy to do on my laptop I could do this stuff, too. And I don't have as much freedom and money as most.

People have so much energy and time for dumb crap they're fixated on the dumbest, most trivial crap.

Taffy is delicious, but is it a sandwich if you put two side by side?

46 And women, actually -- do you women ever look at these "men" babbling like little girls about Captain Marvel and think uncharitable thoughts?

Yes. And thanks ace, because now that I've admitted that I've got to go to confession and it's only been 4 days. I was hoping to get a little more mileage out of that one.
