Thursday Night Overnight Open Thread (12/1/16)
Your Dummy's Guide to Lowbrow Culture.
Part of what has destroyed the mainline Protestant churches is their full-throated embrace of Progressive lunacy. At my friend’s ordination, three of the people ordained were woman. Judging by the haircuts, all three were lesbians. Gay marriage is a huge issue in these churches, driving off the sensible and leaving only those who see Christianity as a vehicle for Progressive activism. Many of these churches are no longer Christian, as a theological matter. They are just Progressive meeting houses for the deranged. If you are a normal person, the mainline Protestant churches have nothing to offer but endless lectures about the joys of liberalism. It’s a familiar pattern. First the women take over, then the men leave, except for the guys willing to take orders from the gals. Then the normal women bolt. This boiling off of the sensible eventually leaves the crazies in charge of the organization. Before long the freak flag is hoisted and it is the bar in Star Wars. It’s the pattern we saw with Labour in Britain and the Democrats in the US.
On this day in history. Popular vote, Electoral College, the House and the election of John Quincy Adams.
The need for the Electoral College. Or how to safeguard the USA and it's way of governance. The maps make a Prima Facie case.
Jefferson put it this way:If you didn't know it, today is National Pie Day. There is still time to go and get a slice.
What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body. And Lord Acton put it this way:
Liberty consists in the division of power. Absolutism, in concentration of power.
It is the user's fault not the product's fault. Inanimate objects don't kill people. People kill people..
The knife paradigm applies directly to guns. The purpose of a gun is to poke holes at a distance, and everyone knows this. Just as I cannot claim that my knife was defective because I used it to cut something I shouldn’t have, I cannot claim that my gun was defective if I use it to poke a hole in something I shouldn’t have.It was bound to happen. Actually it happened sooner than the ONT expected. German Intelligence officer arrested for aiding and abetting terrorism. It's the nerve of "these type of people" that caused Brexit and helped Trump win here. Italians forced to house "immigrants". Here's hoping this douche bag takes in the first of the "immigrants". Free speech for me but not for thee. Tonight's Musical Interlude
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Do you know someone who voted for Hillary? Here's your chance to save some money on a gift for that Hillary voter! PMS issues? You decide. Spot the Santa with the bag of cash. Correct callers 3-15-27-42 and 64 will win a year's supply of &&&&&.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by diversity.

Yet you could never properly explain that concept to a leftist--they're all about theoretical discourse when it favors them, but the moment they realize you're talking about how to defeat one of *their* pet bad-guy organizations they bail and promise aloud that they're calling the authorities as they walk away.

Going "all in" on the whole ghey stuff. Inviting an iman to deliver the opening prayer at a General Assembly meeting in which he said during his prayer that allah was the only path. Then holding meetings about the role of the "Voices of Sophia".
So thankful that my congregation voted to leave and join the Evangelical Presbyterian church.
Of course, we did lose some of the older members who grew up in PCUSA and felt that changing because of all the theological shit PCUSA was pushing was wrong, and we needed to stay. And we lost our Democrat members, but fuck em, they were okay with killing babies and supporting Palestinians instead of Israel.

Electors are Party people.
For the Democrat party to screw around with a national election would be very very dangerous. It would be political suicide for the D's to allow it to happen because it would definitely fail anyway.
If there was a chance it would succeed, that's another thing. But there's no upside for the Democrats for a handful of their unelected party rump swabs (who probably look and sound very ugly if they were put on TV -- yes the 'optics' would be devastating) to essentially stage a futile coup while the president-elect in the middle of confirming his new administration.

Running through various bits and pieces of stuff in my mind. The Japanese "helicopter destroyer" Kaga has been mentioned here a time or two. It's the second ship of the Izumo-class. Izumo herself, I learned today, is apparently named after a previous Japanese ship. This ship apparently provided fire support for the Imperial Japanese Army during the Battle of Shanghai, in China, as well as at other times.
Hmm...
The Kaga, of course, has already been mentioned. And it turns out that the Kaga (alone out of all of the Japanese fleet carriers, I think) carried out air strikes in China.
I'm sensing a theme here...
And on a mostly unrelated note, I have a bit of an odd question. I have no idea if anyone will know the answer to this.
Assume for the sake of argument that you've got all five of the carriers sunk during the Battle of Midway - Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu. and Yorktown. Could they operate the STOVL variant of the F-35 - the F-35B?
Just curious if anyone knows. For the overly ambitious, answers involving other WW2 fleet carriers are also welcome.
And assume, for the sake of argument, that the carrier flight decks have sufficient strength to support the weight of the fighters.

Its *human* for INDIVIDUALS to believe that THEIR sin is "unique", and deserving of some divine exception.
But the Church's role isn't to nod along in agreement. Instead, its to point out that *divinely inspired* scripture doesn't allow a lot of wiggle-room in regard to whatever their pet sin might be. The fact that entire denominations willing disregard scripture means they're no longer relevant, at least when it comes to discussing Christianity.

Here was a case where someone fucked up and actually directed the sneering contempt usually employed against Christians and White people at Muslims. I was very surprised they kept going after the place was firebombed a few years before the attack.

Now imagine the odds that Hillary would have nominated such a man. Yeah. Zero. It's actually conceivable that she would have nominated John "Traitor To His Brothers" Kerry.

According to TV host David Pakman, who yesterday broke news of a plot by
15 electors to not vote for Trump and lobby others to do the same in an
effort to prevent him from getting the 270 electoral votes he needs to
become president, the claim has been corroborated by a second source.
Posted by: shibumi, a deplorable who now just wants to yell at stupid people at December 01, 2016 10:17 PM (OlyEd)
Ive heard there is some electors trying to do that, but they are electors in Washington and Colorado, states not won by Trump.
Remember, it will take 37 Trump electors to vote for Hillary for her to become President. 37 Republicans will have to vote against their party nominee and vote for a woman most every Republican finds deplorable.
37 electors switching from Trump to "Not Hillary" will only throw the election to the House where the GOP members will vote how their states voted and will elect Trump.

I was always taught that a church isn't a building and doesn't necessarily even have to solicit tithes. A church is anywhere Christians come together to worship. You could have a worship service with three friends, that lasts 15 minutes, in your living room, for instance.
My hunch is that's where some of the traditional Christian church is headed. But after the rise of megachurches, I'm not 100% sure that the comeback of very small personal micro-churches in private homes is the worst thing that could possibly happen.
Now, expressing your faith in public without being persecuted for it, is another matter entirely.

For the Democrat party to screw around with a national election would be very very dangerous. It would be political suicide for the D's to allow it to happen because it would definitely fail anyway.
----------------
Yeah, the party picks the electors. If a sizable block of them decide to not vote for the party's candidate, then heads will roll.
Also, if you haven't, go read Larry Correia's recently published guide for liberals who want to get a gun. It's over on his website - monsterhunternation.com. He notes there that if the American citizenry decided to exercise its 2nd Amendment right against its own government, that would effectively destroy the country.
That's the level of stupidity that would the Dems would be pulling if they actually did do something like this. I'm not saying that some of them might not try it anyway. But it would probably destroy the country.

Unless I don't fully understand the electors.

We helped a pastor start a church about 4 years ago. We met in our home for about 6 months. It was a wonderful time.
Lots of churches, including ours, have small house meetings in addition to the main weekly service. That seems to be where the serious bit of "churching" happens.
I agree that house churches may be the future of real Christianity in America. Judaism, too -- there several small Orthodox synagogues operating out of homes in the Dallas area (I know the cantor at one).

county is holding a hand recount. The recount will not be completed by
the deadline on December 20th. Therefore, according to Rep. Duffy, the state will quite possibly be forced to forfeit their electoral votes.

"Old English cirice, circe "church, public place of worship; Christians collectively," from Proto-Germanic *kirika (source also of Old Saxon kirika, Old Norse kirkja, Old Frisian zerke, Middle Dutch kerke, Dutch kerk, Old High German kirihha, German Kirche), probably [see note in OED] from Greek kyriake (oikia), kyriakon doma "Lord's (house)," from kyrios "ruler, lord," from PIE root *keue- "to swell" ("swollen," hence "strong, powerful"); see cumulus. Phonetic spelling from c. 1200, established by 16c. For vowel evolution, see bury. As an adjective from 1570s.
Greek kyriakon (adj.) "of the Lord" was used of houses of Christian worship since c.300, especially in the East, though it was less common in this sense than ekklesia or basilike. An example of the direct Greek-to-Germanic progress of many Christian words, via the Goths; it probably was used by West Germanic people in their pre-Christian period. "
Early christians met in homes and private spaces for convenience and discretion. The term church seems to imply an obvious religious building.
That's not to say the two are at cross purposes, but it may be good to realize that there's no Christian obligation to a mass congregation in a public building.
Christ never mentioned the 'how' and 'where,' IIRC.

Electors tend to be politically connected types, after all. And if the GOPe, to whom they tend to be closely connected, straight-up told them to vote for Hillary instead, what do you think they'd do? Yeah. And a potential President Hillary would probably be happy to use a tiny portion of her influence to keep them from being punished for, you know, making her President and stuff.
It makes sense, and it also helps to get some of those guys who'd otherwise remain #NeverTrumpers on board with his agenda. I mean, is Mitch McConnell really gonna want to work against the President who gave his wife such a nice job as head of the DoT? I'm thinking that's a "no".

the recount in Dane County Wisconsin, where Madison is located. The
county is holding a hand recount. The recount will not be completed by
the deadline on December 20th. Therefore, according to Rep. Duffy,
the state will quite possibly be forced to forfeit their electoral
votes.

Lots of neighborhood streets aren't actually public streets in the end. And yeah, HOAs absolutely can dictate things like that. They do in many many neighborhoods.
I live in a neighborhood with an HOA, like tons of people do, and I actually don't think ours is ridiculously out of hand. Funny thing, the "HOA" actually isn't. The way ours works, the developer IS the HOA until they finish building out the neighborhood, a certain time period after that point passes, and a certain percentage of the homes have been sold.
Here's the fun part, the "HOA" (developer) can't actually enforce any fines they levy against us for violations. For some reason that's written into the agreement. The rep let that slip to my wife in a convo once. "Wait, you mean you can't actually force payment of the fine, like through a lien on the home?" "Uhhh...no ma'am." "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Then we're all done here. Don't even bother trying to send us anything again."

But, if you try playing your 2 Musical Interlude videos, the Kinks one is totally normal. Once you hit play, you can go down to the bar at the bottom and tweak the volume to just where you want it. But, with the Drifters video, if you try to go down to that bar, it's just not there. So, you can't adjust the volume.
Looking at the page source, the difference between the two source links shows a difference.

Both times George W. Bush was elected, his opponent tried to challenge the result and would've succeeded by overturning just one state.
Trump, on the other hand, fought for every state he thought he might be able to win. As a result, Hillary would have to overturn at least three states to steal the election.

I've also heard that while they have some ridiculous rules (like the official approved "Cerritos colors" when you want to paint your house), other rules have either been left unenforced for years, forgotten about, been litigated away, etc etc. It's definitely not Soviet there, that's for sure.

How do we know that obama's approval rating polls are as bullshit as the pre-election polls?
Because he's still over 50% while our new president is at just 42%, which is 5 points lower than his election results.
This makes No Sense. It makes no sense because it's a Lie. These polls are fake or they are manipulated/massaged with their heavy-D samples.
So obama is probably at 40%. Trump is probably at 50%.

I'll try and I do hope at least some one else will check my work for correctness.
So anyhoo...
Even if the recount is still going on Dec 13, there will either need to be a State Law or a Court Order to prevent Wisconsin from appointing their Electors.
Now according to the 12th Amendment of the Constitution, even if the Wisconsin Electors are not appointed, all Trump would need is the majority of the remaining Electors to become President.
So instead of a majority of 535, he would need a majority of 523. This would also apply to any other States that might not appoint Electors.
For reference look at the Election of 1864 in which the southern slave states did not participate.

But I'd also never buy a house in an HOA without first reviewing the Covenants and Restrictions for that HOA. So long as you know what you're getting into in regard to the HOA, you'll be fine.
Without an HOA, have fun with your neighbors on both sides having 18-wheelers parked on the street and beat-up boats and non-running cars in their driveways.

I was browsing a Western Horsemen at my chiros and read an article about a ranch horsemanship program for wounded vets. Sounded loke a cool program, article mentioned they get funds from semper fi fund so I donated to semper fi for one of my Xmas month charity bits. When I did I saw on the page that some wealthy veteran is matching donations to the Semper fi fund through this month up to 10 million from a fund he started.
Or if you want to donate to a horde member and help a veteran out SMFH's fund for expenses from Carl's battle with lung caner and burial is still in my nic. You cool and witty posters could probably help her out by linking to the fund.

I would strongly recommend the YouTube conversation between Stefan Molyneaux and Gavin McInnis to anyone on our side, but I would especially recommend it to you. This exact point, about the divide between people who want to be left alone, and people who want to control other people, came up. Plus, it's brilliant. Often you see videos where the interviewer has a set of topics, and segues between them. Much rarer is a long conversation between two seriously smart people that just flows, so that no explicit agenda is needed. Recommended in the strongest possible terms.

And, my own city of Lakewood is considered, along with Allentown NJ, of being one of the very first "planned communities."
Cerritos is notable for taking the idea 13 years later in 1967 and going nuts with it; but master architect William Pereira literally took it into the stratosphere, when he mapped out the ENTIRE CITY of Cerritos, *including* UC Irvine, in 1960.
Irvine, in partnership with The Irvine Company, is *still* following, and implementing, Pereira's development plan.

Most neighborhoods have no need for HOAs because they were created organically over years, and not built in a matter of months by a developer.

Just started a second Battle of the Bulge book, and it looks like it will be good (Steel and Ice), after being very disappointed with Antony Beevor's book on the subject.
Anyway, one thing in the Beevor book was a reference to all-black "tank destroyer" units in the Ardennes fighting. There were two kinds of such units - those with armored vehicles with mounted guns, and those with towed guns. Not sure which kind the black units were, but hoping the current book will have more detail.
More blacks in combat in WWII than I generally assumed in the past - aside from the famous case of the Tuskegee Fliers. USMC anti-aircraft units in the Pacific. And the ammo ships (famous for black personnel due to the Pittsburg, CA incident) also saw blacks in combat.
I spoke with a retired black reverend the day before the WWII Memorial was commissioned in DC, in 2004, while hanging out at the site (precisely to meet guys like him). He'd run ammo to shore at Iwo Jima, from an ammo ship - they started coming back with bodies of Marines, took them right to the morgue or hospital ships.

I could tell stories. There was a fellow in these parts who was a millionaire many times over. He made his money in the digging business, septic tanks. He used to say he loved the smell of shit. That was money to him. People didn't want to smell it and deal with it, so they paid him.
He had some snooty types move in next to his place, and they got snooty with him about the junk he kept around. His farm equipment, bulldozers and all that.
The funny thing wast they were in debt up their eyeballs, and he could've bought and sold them many times over. The yuppies didn't realize it until someone told them. They shut up once they knew just how rich he was. It was funny.

Easter was on April 1 in 1945, so this must be last week of March or so. Which matches the clothing and what you can make out of the background landscape.
I've always loved "bomb art", can't recall seeing "artillery shell art" like this before.

Seriously, NASA has spent I don't know how much trying to get a decent space toilet. Hell, I don't know what the latest tech is, but it gets expensive. With the womyns in space, they had to make modifications. You know women and their peeing. They had to rig something better for that.
I wonder if they still bitch about the seat being up on the zero-g sucker?

I do, which is unusual this early.
The problem I am facing is that I am now being recruited for the biggest job I have ever had. Just got that message today.
It would be a job where if you researched the management of a company that makes many of the TVs y'all own as an investor, my name would come up.
This is absolute first world problem stuff, but worried/concerned (shit, I hate that word) about the effect on Anne Marie.

One thing noted in the Beevor/Ardennes book was the use of "posit" proximity fuses that would detonate shells in the air close to the target - book claimed this was devastating for German infantry. And that the fuses, which were new, never used in combat, were a big secret and the order was never given to use them (risking compromise of the secret via duds).
But I kind of get the impression the guys fighting desperately in the cold in December '44 in the face of a huge surprise offensive weren't TOO focused on details like authorization to use the new fuses ....

My cousin is a retired meteorologist. He used to run the local NWS station, until they expanded and had to have a Ph.D. in charge. My cousin still ran it, he was just under the Ph.D. who just basically sat up there and Ph.D'd. Anyway, Cuz retired.
He sent me an email later last night telling me all about the tornado. They classified it as an EF-1. Little sucker. It did some damage closer in town and over on the west side. It came my way, but luckily picked back up and skipped over us.
There was some severe wind and driving rain. The power was flickering badly before it even got here, and that little EF-1 explains that.
It sat back down east of here, then picked up again for a while, and set back down one more time before it was through.
And I was blissfully unaware of almost have a little tornado rip through here.

Anything "white" is now automatically "white supremacist". We've seen the definition of "diversity" moving in that direction for years, but the left is now unhinged enough to make it public... well before the numbers are in their favor.

He came in, jawed and carried on with everybody, got what he was after, then left.

Can't recall where, in one of the zillion WWII histories I've read, there was an account of a mass Katyusha barrage on a German position during the final winter '45 offensive. Basically only a few dazed German soldiers survived, barely coherent enough to surrender - otherwise, God's hand just wiped the place clean and killed everyone.

A couple of quotes from the piece.
States may favor, for a variety of reasons, one party, but they are not permanently locked in - crackpot conspiracies of deliberate demographic changes through immigration and equally crackpot proclamations of demographics-driven eternal victories be equally damned.
That was near the beginning of the piece. Now here's one from near the end.
Democrats will also continue to fight hard in Nevada, North Carolina, and Florida, states where changing demographics can give them a boost.
You see, haters, although it's true that demographics can play a role, it is crackpottery to think that anyone would want to take advantage of that fact.

Well, the EF scale starts at EF-0, which has a wind speed rating of 65 - 85 mph. That's not really all there is to it, it gets complicated. Any tornado that is confirmed but does no damage is always rate EF-0. It has to do damage to be rated higher, somehow.
Anyway, EF-1 wind speed is rated 86-110 mph. The wind speed is a proxy calculated from the damage intensity somehow.

>> of history.
The British left came completely unhinged over Thatcher, more than the American left over Reagan, very much like the Trump situation.
They had history on their side (guided and funded by the USSR through the unions, if you believe many pundits) and then Thatcher happened and...
...well, we got a lot of good music (yeah, I'm a hypocrite, but I saw all - almost all, just about every one that ever toured California - of those Brit bands slagging off Maggie and still voted for Reagan twice, so they had exactly as much impact on post-high-school me as Katy Perry and the rest had on Trump voters, there was a local SF female band that played all the lesbian bars that had some wonderful period songs "Age of the Neutron Bomb" but I don't think they sold vinyl at their gigs, they never got a contract, and this was before the 'net...)
Oh, and you had leftist radicals like Chris Hitchens before the reality bitch-slap who figured Reagan and Thatcher were Satanic, go back and read some '80s C-Hitchens and it reads like the Anti-Trump brigade.
Anyway the union barons got shit upon for a decade and the Brit economy recovered a bit, and then the world got Major and Bush 41...

The conventional wisdom is that the Brits fought WWII to conclusion for the welfare state, NHS, and ground-nuts.
Look, I can fully see why the Brits like NHS. It's kinda like a free bus service, that costs nothing on the surface (and when you dig into it, only costs 2/3 of what you'd have to pay to own a car.)
They have a halfway-orderly system that's the equivalent of a national chain of Motel 6s where half the rooms still have the drunks' piss on the floor.
We have a colossal mess of various institutions ranging from cardboard sheds to Trump hotels, and which one you get into depends on who you work for and what conditions you have.
And the cost of their system is pretty much invisible, while the cost of ours pops up in odd ways here and there, and some people skate while others get screwed.

Are any of the 'ettes still here? If not, I'll tell you: we have to stand and sit. They always sit. Thus in their minds, the seat being up is an anomaly, and unnatural state, and something awful we men do that we have to be trained not to do in their minds.
All manner of logic and reason does not work with them. It can be shown that when a man and woman share the toilet, it is most efficient for whoever uses the toilet to place the seat in the position they need, and leave it. It results in less sea flipping overall by far, and even then the man still has to flip the seat up a little more than the woman has to put the seat down.
For the man to always put the seat back down results in him having to flip the seat over twice as many times, and the woman never having to.
And since that results in less yelling by the female, it may be the best for the man anyway.

Being from Alaska, nobody every questions what somebody wears. Usually, if a guy is wearing a suit and tie, he is a lawyer from California. If he's wearing a plaid shirt, levis and boots, odds are he is doing just fine financially. If he's wearing an old hoody with holes in it, ratty shorts and old sneakers, he has a limited entry permit, owns a fishing boat and clears more money in 2 months than you made in the last 10 years.
Tattoos are not mandatory, but acceptible, and if you dye your hair some completely unnatural color, that's probably a sign that you are the sacristan at the Catholic Church downtown.

"Fix" the massive illegal migrant problem - if you can, and it will take 2 decades or more (and chances of national govt. remaining in sane adult hands for that period are small).
Then what do you do about the Coastal Clueless? The "smart" people ("tech" - meaning mostly marketing logisticians, anymore - doctors, lawyers, etc) who are, as citizens, as dumb as hamsters. Their heads full of idiocy like "climate change" and other science-free cultish reflexes, stunning economic illiteracy, and of course exquisite responsiveness to the dumbest and most upside-down race-baiting.
If CA had the natural attractions, geography, and climate of Kansas, it would have been de-populated and bankrupt 15 years ago. It's one giant tourist restaurant with horrible food and service, and an iconic world-famous view.

Many HOAs are scams enacted to steal houses. No? Wait until you are old, on a fixed income, and can no longer pay for the things the HOA demands.
By the way, that "a lawyer will be provided for you" business only applies in criminal cases - not when you are trying to keep your house from being seized by HOA.

IOW, me.
I've spent 35 years in the Peninsula/valley tech field, all kinds of friends here. Many maybe most not of my particular shade of skin, but around here generation by generation it's half-this, quarter-this, one-eighth this, the 'white' kid at the park is three-fourths Filipino, the other 'white' kid's parents are Russian Jews, the 'Chinese' kid's parents are ethnic Chinese from Latin America. The Catholic churches are full of Filipinos (and Filipino-blends) and the protestant churches are full of Chinese (and Chinese-blends.)
Most of them are very good people.
But...two factors. Location and UC.
First off, if you move into an area and want to have any influence, you tend to associate with the stronger side that's already there. Especially when you're from a culture that doesn't promote opposition.
Secondly, their kids grow up and go to UC and - not all, not even a majority, but too many - come back corrupted.

Not because Trump and Sessions don't have the stones (though I think Trump in "president of all the people" mode would, actually, not measure up on this sort of thing).
But Congress. Almost nobody now serving in Congress got there through leadership, or accomplishment, of any kind whatsoever. Apart from fund-raising and being elected. In the House, in mostly gerrymandered "safe" seats where the party primary IS the election.
Some of our most distinguished regular day-time commenters really don't seem to understand how bad things are. The GOP in power (outside the WH) IS the GOP of Yeb! and Rubio, or Kasich - not Trump.
We didn't get where we are, nationally, because the national GOP stood for anything or (in recent years) even wielded their power in normal, traditional fashion. They hid, deep - to the point of (incredibly) just junking the appropriations process, for the first time in our history.

And one of them gets fascinated by the use of the toilet. Damn fool came in one time when I was about to pee -- doesn't like closed doors. This is cat trait -- they hate closed doors, and if one doesn't shut the bathroom door good, they'll push in. Just because they saw me close it.
Anyway, the fool does that, and I say okay, if you want to watch, have at it. He comes in and I start peeing. He comes over, puts his paws on the rim and just watches me pee. I flush it, and that fascinates the hell out of him.
Many times, when he hears it flush, he comes in to watch.
There's a Youtube video of a cat who learned to flush the toilet, and would continuously flush the toilet just to watch the water swirl.
This cat of mine would do that, I think, if he was smart enough to figure it out.

You forget how much money is made in California. Believe it or not, most years California is a "giver" state to the Fed, rather than a "taker". They take plenty, but they give crazy more. Only when there are natural disasters in Cali does this change.
Of course, California IS drowning in crazy debt, but thats from all the bonds that both the legslature AND the dogshit-stupid electorate keep voting for year after year. California may very well go bankrupt (particularly when the pension bomb blows), but the tax base is still giving more to Uncle Sam than he's giving back on the whole.

Probably the most famous black ground unit was an independent tank battalion. The 761st Independent Tank Battalion was one of three black tank battalions (though one of them might not have seen combat), and was part of Patton's Third Army. I think there was some discussion about where to assign the unit when it first arrived in Europe due to the racial issues of the time, but Patton was quite happy to grab it when given the opportunity. As far as he was concerned, the only important thing to him was whether the men could fight. And they proved that he'd made the right choice in picking them.
Unfortunately, the unit's nickname was 'The Black Panthers', which has some unfortunate links these days. I also once had someone confuse it with the US 66th Infantry Division, which also had the same nickname, and apparently wasn't as good in combat.

That gets cut or interrupted, big trouble.
Also CA's tax base is going to the limits of "unsustainable" (ha!) extremes - that is a tiny % of households provide most of the revenues. I cited the leg analyst's estimate from a few years ago about half the state deficit resulting from the departure of just 5K households (in a state of 32M+).
The replacement of the productive middle class with impossibly over-compensated govt. employees ensures two things: stupid, NPR-level political mindsets - and insolvency.

The 761st was a tank battalion, not a TD battalion. So you're thinking of a different unit. I think I've heard about the unit you mean, though. It was one of a few black TD units that were used as OP-FOR for tankers in training back in the states, and those units were eventually given the chance to go overseas. IIRC, because of the amount of time they'd spent in training, they ended up doing better than the typical "new" unit.

I should do the research myself, but I'm very unclear on the non-towed "tank destroyer" concept. There was a photo in the Beevor Battle of the Bulge book of a tank (essentially) labeled a "tank destroyer". The towed ones were just 37mm or whatever field artillery for direct fire against armor - but I had not seen what I would call a tank called a "tank destroyer" before.

Those of us languishing in s**t-holes like CA (update: now BOTH houses of legislature have Dem super-majorities, meaning, literally, one-party rule - and the possibilities are nauseating and infuriating) of course have no state-level comfort.
I haven't bothered to follow the fine details of the atrocities in Sacramento, but gather that Brown (loathsome arrogant dumbass he has become, notwithstanding) has actually MODERATED the fiscal insanity of his party.
Now, he faces the prospect of being over-ridden. And he'll be gone before long (replaced, in this one-party state, from among a more radical member of the Supreme Soviet of Dem figures, most likely).
Since the teacher's unions run the state - along with a remarkably cretinized "educated" electorate - the sky's the limit.
Low % alternative scenario: actual tough fiscal action to curb lawless indulgence of mass illegal migration comes from DC, along with SCOTUS smack-downs on all sorts of CA atrocities and work-arounds.

Funny, two months ago on range day I opened up a single pistol lane on the trap range (used when the 3 handgun-suitable ranges are busy with police and military, as they were). He'd been a guard on death row at San Quentin for 10 years.
Never thought to ask him about guard union things. He had a very interesting target H ampersand K 9mm I'd never seen.

Maybe I am all wet here, but I thought a "tank destroyer" was a tank chassis fitted with a large non-swivelling gun. The Germans had one such called a "Marder", IIRC.
------------------
For other countries, this is more or less correct. Though the vehicle didn't have to be a tank chassis. Any vehicle would do. The important thing was that the tank destroyer would take an anti-tank gun, and make it mobile. In many cases, this was done also because a turretless vehicle hull could carry a bigger gun than a turret could. Most such vehicles mounted light armor, though there were exceptions like the Elephant, Jagdpanther, and Jagdtiger.
The Americans were slightly different...
The US went into combat with the Tank Destroyer Doctrine that you might be familiar with. Tanks go after infantry, and tank destroyers kill the tanks. And the idea isn't entirely without merit. The best gun for use against an enemy tank is a long barreled gun that can fire high-velocity anti-tank rounds. But you need more propellant to fire a round out of that gun, which means that your high-explosive rounds aren't as powerful. So short barrel means worse against tanks, but better against infantry. In practice, of course, it was a mess. But in any event, US tanks were meant to focus on infantry. US tank destroyers were to use specially developed tactics that they trained on to located and ambush enemy armored formations.
The original US tank destroyers were kit-bashes just like those used by everyone else - a halftrack with a 75mm gun mounted over the cab, and a 3/4 ton Dodge truck with a 37mm gun facing to the rear. But after that...
Unlike everyone else, the US purposely designed three vehicles from the ground up as their "tank destroyers". The first of these was the M-10. It was based off of a highly modified Sherman chassis with lighter armor, and carried a 3-inch (76.2mm) long-barreled gun mounted in an open-top turret. The third and final US tank destroyer was the M36 Jackson. It was very similar to the M10, but had a different turret that mounted a 90mm long-barreled gun in an open-top turret.
And finally, we get to my favorite - the M18 Hellcat. The Hellcat was a unique vehicle with a unique chassis built specifically for it. It mounted a true 76mm long-barreled gun in an open-top turret. And while the M10 and the M36 had light armor, the armor on the Hellcat was extremely thin. The reason for this was because of its speed. The Hellcat was likely the fastest fully-tracked vehicle in World War 2. And it was the fastest fully-tracked vehicle mass-produced by the US up until the introduction of the M1 Abrams (note that the M18 still has a higher official road speed than the M1, because the M1 uses an artificial governor to limit its road speed).
Those are the self-propelled tank destroyers.
The self-propelled tank destroyers were fairly successful. But there were never enough of them. So the US decided to expand the doctrine. The infantry was using 37mm and 57mm anti-tank guns (that, incidentally, proved to be less than effective...). To expand the tank destroyer doctrine, special units consisting of towed 3-inch anti-tank guns were deployed. These units were supposed to use the same sorts of tactics as the self-propelled tank destroyers to locate enemy armored formations and ambush them.
As you might expect, the towed anti-tank formations weren't as effective. The experiment was ultimately judged a failure, and the units likely would have been rolled up at the end of the war even if the US had stuck with the tank destroyer doctrine (which it didn't).

Now, he faces the prospect of being over-ridden. And he'll be gone before long (replaced, in this one-party state, from among a more radical member of the Supreme Soviet of Dem figures, most likely).

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is the most likely replacement when Brown is finished. And he's so bad that letting anyone other than Zombie describe the potential catastrophe Newsom represents is probably not a good idea.
He is, incidentally, also the former mayor of San Francisco.

Yeah, the Soviets got the short end of the stick when it came to infantry versus tanks. The US had the bazooka pretty much from the time the troops first landed in Africa. The Germans had the Panzerfaust not long after, and another weapon that was basically an even bigger bazooka called the Panzerschreck. And the British had a spring-loaded thing called the Piat.
The Soviets had anti-tank rifles.
I'd disagree about the tank destroyers bit, though. The Soviets had tank destroyers, and some of them were quite powerful. But they called it all self-propelled artillery, even though all of it was designed for direct fire (which is the opposite of how we think of artillery in the West).
The Soviets also had some good anti-tank guns, which is something that the US never really had.

Of course by whatever combination of means the Soviet forces found a solution for German armor (the T-34s did pretty well).
Funny, this week my ear-worm has been "Sacred War" by the Red Army Choir (yes, I have rather different ear-worm tunes than often discussed at the HQ). Appalled to not know it when it intrigued me watching this year's Victory Day events in Moscow on Russian TV. Well, I know it now.
Lots of good new vocabulary, too. "Scum of mankind" was not one I'd picked up in my studies or time in the USSR.

The northerners *always* win the Dem primary. So I kinda doubt it. Villaragosa might manage to win in a straight state-wide (i.e. two Dems in the general) election because he's from LA, and has a D next to his name instead of an R (which was Cooley's problem when he ran for State AG after serving as LA County DA). But aside from that, Newsome's probably got the spot.
And that's probably really, really bad. Based on what little I know about the guy, I suspect he makes Sanders look like a Reaganite, and would happily force the Folsom Street Fair on every city in the US.

I read them way back in the day. Then I mentioned the bit about what the Soviet locals supposedly thought the stenciled USA stood for (according to the Chapter H notes) to some Russians online, and they told me that was completely wrong.
Speaking of which...
For anyone who's interested in Lend-Lease M4 Shermans fighting for the Soviet Army, do a search online for Victor Loza. He's a famous Soviet tank ace who spent a lot of time in Shermans, and loved them. Actually thought they were safer than T-34s, which I've mentioned a time or two to people who bring up the "Ronson" bit. There's a lengthy piece by him talking about his experiences that's on-line and in English. Very much worth reading.

That spot generally being in between the road wheels or the back of the vehicle. I'm talking extremely close range. 10-15 yards. IIRC selected teams were trained to aim at the front of the tracks to hit them and cause a break.
If you take a look at pics of german panzers captured or recovered from the battle field, quite often you will see one or both sides without tracks.
Like was said above, a immobile tank is a dead one.

Another fascinating thing. A woman *can* have up to three separate orgasmic nerve pathways to the brain. I say can because apparently not all women have all three, the full package so to speak.
Hell, it's getting late and I don't need to ramble on about this stuff. The clitoris is one pathway, and note the structure goes around the vagina and it's possible to have vaginal stimulation "hit" those clitoral legs. But the other pathway, the "G-spot" is another one, I think. There's a third, and I can't remember where.

Me personally ... I liked Cruz and I still do. I'd hope Ted -- as a strict constructionism -- won't come out in favor of this.
Still Donald is the guy and it might be true that Ted couldn't beat Hillary. So I swung on over to Donald bigly and I've been happy so far ... but this is a coalition.
We did this with Reagon too. A lot of political capital was spent on flag burning. It's the right taking the bait from the left. I don't give a fuck if you wipe a dogs ass with it if it's your flag and your dog. I still get teary at high school football games during the anthem.

The rot started long ago, at the turn of the century. The problems with liberal Christianity, how it differed from traditional Christianity was all documented and analyzed by J. Gresham "Chipmunk Cheeks" Machen in his book "Christianity and Liberalism". Liberalism has a different view of God, humans, sin, Jesus, and scripture. Once you take a low view of scripture and elevate the desires of humans above Biblical ethics, you've already conceded the argument and have no refutation to the most radical nutballs that eventually show up, like John Shelby Spong who is essentially an atheist.

There was also a time fuse that could be screwed into the round and set for an air burst over the target.
The rounds did not come with, nor were they hauled around with the fuses already in them. That was installed at the gun.

We need John Cleese and Michael Palin to do the hairy pussy sketch.
"It's not hairy. Lovely plumage, the Norwegian Sphynx."
"It's more hirsute than a yak! It looks like bleedin' Mungojerry! This pussy is a hairy pussy!"

Your right, I was in the M60 tank, and fortunately my hearing is fine...Of course wearing those helmets probably muffled the firing of the gun..I remember the 45 cal...as being very loud.

We're reclaiming America. No more tzars.
Just spreading the attitude among self-goverened citizens is enough.

Hitchens had a hard on for Mother Theresa too.
I never liked Hitchens.

Camille Paglia, an atheist herself, tore into Hitchens in an interview. She said he and Dawkins knew nothing about religion and she hated their sneering contemptuousness toward people of faith.

Called My People something.

Well VIA, the eyes ain't quite what they used to be, which was very, very good.... but that's just ( shhhh ) old age.

==========================
I give to Mennonite Disaster Services. While I'm not Mennonite I find this charity spends its money very efficiently and moves rapidly to help those in need. I don't know if MDS is specifically aiding Gatlinburg, but I'd bet they are.

Maybe check the Clinton Foundation.
I hear they did some good works in Haiti some few years ago.
The locals still talk about them down there.

I used to be a little "l" libertarian type person. That is until the big "L" Libertarian Party came around. They filled the Party with wild ass kooks who were more concerned with anarchy and drugs than small government.
The founders did believe in small government at the federal level and even to some extent at the State level. But they did believe in some government.

There's the occasional antisemitic dickhead in the comments section, but that's true of any comments section since the dawn of the internet. Most of them get shouted at to take their shit somewhere that it's welcome, but they just keep on with it.
I'd bet money that most of them draw paychecks from some lefty organization to spew that shit on Breitbart, too.

HEY .... This could be the SMOD that we have been waiting for.
This has been out there for since the 80's. However they are saying that it will become visible by 2020. The elites will no longer be able to deny it. They have known about it and have been preparing sites for themselves. Denver airport's underground complex, China's ghost cities, Russian's Large civil defense drills. It could turn out that DOOM is right around the corner! I imagine civil unrest will be epic. We could very well have people with Australian accents and Mohawks riding around on motorcycles trying to steal everybody's gas.
It would be a hoot, if something becomes visible. All hell breaks loose. The elites bunker in. Then it passes by with no extinction level event, and everyone is left waiting out side the elite bunkers waiting for them to come out with a lot of rope ... some assembly required.
