This week. Oh this week.

I don't have a Vic update.... maybe he will update himself in the comments today?

Or maybe he'll do the smart thing and sleep until noon...

5 Wegmans Grocery Stores refused to cave into a Trump Boycott. Trump Wines are sold out there now. Ivanka is now the Top rated seller on Amazon, according to rumor. I haven't checked.

Right, Tim, there were 2 updates yesterday that his bacterial count (in his bloodstream?) was continuing to rise.This is always a worry point when the colon has been cut and resewn. And he was soooo close to going home.

Best wishes to the Vic family.

9 Good morning. I tried to watch Mike Pence's speech in Munich live (on television, I'm not putting on pants so early) but the translator's monotone made it really unpleasant...

Anyway, here's a progg news take over here that I think will spread to US media: Today Pence said the US is the greatest ally of Europe. But earlier Trump said NATO is obsolete. Therefore, there must be an internal rift/power struggle inside Trump's administration! ZOMG!

Statement is not mutually exclusive : the fact that NATO needs retooling (because it's got a fucking theocratic dictatorship as one of it's largest members) does not mean the US is no longer an ally of assorted European nations. But progg 'journalists' need a woobie, and "internal rift" is real cuddly.

More significant, I think, is Mattis's appearance in Europe and the subsequent announcement that NATO EU nations will now be buying more joint strike aircraft and forming a new NATO command around them.

The EU is now upping its defense spending, just as Trump demanded. More #Winning.

17 Also did you guys see this? An American farmer won a biathlon World Cup, after starting in the last position to start the race. Made all the shots on the first attempt. First American to ever be world champion in this event.

19 Trump winery will have to go into overtime to keep up the demand for Trump wind. Wegmans doesn't have any available here in NYState, Wegmans can't sell it because of the state laws, but the Wegmans family does have some stores around that I need to visit, although I have heard they are sold out also.

I really wouldn't call cross country "skiing". If there were real skiing in the biathalon it would probably be pretty popular (as winter sports go). Cross country "skiing" is the winter equivalent of the old walking races, which are now restricted to the Special Olympics.

31 In the Overtime segment of the Milo/Maher debate, Milo says in answer to a question about the alt-Right that the far Left and the Far Right hate him.

The questioner then responds "You're leaving out a whole lot of people." Now that's funny, and Milo says so. Milo's point earlier in the interview is that humor brings people together.

Case in point -- AoSHQ.

Not just the media, also the politicians. As soon as Trump suggested Europeans should be allowed to choose whether or not they wish to be be ruled by the EU, they all fell all over each other to denounce the idea. SPD guy just told the Munich Conference Germany should "do everything possible" to prevent other nations from pulling a Brexit.

They talk big about "Demokratie", but it's the Recall Walker version: The people should be allowed to choose what we tell them to choose, nothing more.

I look at the Weather Underground site because it will give you the hourly report too for your area. But, their weather almanac, which I would think they're getting the averages, highs, and lows data from, only go back to 1973 for our area. I looked Chicago which gets it's reports from O'hare airport, and that data goes to 1946.

I think the number was around 23 or 25. For an unelected 'position'.

First ladies have had staff in the White House since the end of the nineteenth century. Eleanor Roosevelt's secretary and assistant were a typical first lady's staff until the Truman White House added a military aide and secretary. The presidential family paid the first lady's staff from personal accounts until they became a federal budget item in 1978.

I don't think any retailer could. Nor could they take the risk of publicly admitting the real reason for dropping the line.

I seem to recall that online purchases (where the odds of shoplifting are nill) continue.

We'll never know the truth, because the left can't handle the truth.

79 As stated earlier, Vic is back in the hospital. The infection level had increased significantly (almost 20%). The doctor wanted him to stay until it was gone, or at least going down, but Vic wanted to get out. Yesterday (Friday) morning he had to go back to get more blood work, and that showed an even greater increase (about 35%). They admitted him back to the hospital.

This morning he's griping because he doesn't think they're doing anything except drawing blood and giving him pills he could take at home. I think the infection needs to be cleared up before I take him home.

Fortunately, he's at my mercy for transportation! That means I'm in control of when he gets to ride back home! If he had his way, he'd be home with appointment for checking infection levels sometime next week.

JUST IN: Vic just called, the doctor is releasing him today!

January was the warmest recorded in history!" so maybe they are quaking in their boots. But it would be nice to see the rot dealt with and deprive all the news outlets of their fodder.

Simplify the tax code to the point where 3/4ths of the IRS auditors can be turned loose on Government agencies and their budgets/spending. The IRS could then self fund with the clawbacks and savings, DEA style.

89 I find it strange (not really) that some of these big retailers would "suddenly" find Ivana Trump's merchandise "not selling" and make an announcement they were dropping the product. Can Sears/Kmart really afford to do this?

A lot of people may not realize that there is an organized boycott movement targeting the Trumps and Ivankain particular:

I've been buying Black Rifle Coffee for several months since I first heard about it. They always shipped within two or three days after I ordered. Last time they took two weeks, and they even put up a notice on their website. So it sounds like business is booming for them.

While I watch him occasionally, I wouldn't be called "Well versed" on the Milo movement.

That being said, what I see is a very colorful person, who actually has a fairly large amount of substance in his commentary and discourse.

It just tends to get hidden behind the flamboyancy.

He's not stupid.

Nor shallow.

Milo has substance. There's a BBC debate he does with a feminist over pay for women where he's heavily armed with facts and pretty much blows her out of the water.

There's lots of clips on YouTube that shows how well he is prepared. Frankly, the flamboyance tends to overshadow that.

The comedian in the grey suit was a triggered kill-joy. He told Milo that he was using rhetoric against trannies that was used against gays long ago. Slimy for some reason. And a mistake right after Milo was talking about a tranny who wanted to go into women's locker rooms.

The tempo of the show is so high that all the participants have their quiver full of rhetorical points, and they lob them when they think the time is right.

To me, that intersection (vis-a-vis the political spectrum) is going to be one of the keys in the US moving forward. I find it both interesting and daunting, figuring out how those two ideologies are going to marry up.

__________________________

It's crazy for any sane person to support islam. What rational person, who believes in a Divine Creator, could believe that said Creator wants his creations to destroy one another? And muslims claim they believe that Jesus was a great prophet, but they ignore everything He taught. How does that make sense? And why would any woman want to be part of a religion/ideology that says women are lesser beings than men? How much self-loathing as a woman would you have to have to be willing to accept a life where men dictate what you must wear, where you can go, who you can see, what you can do, etc.

Milo is right about gays being crazy for accepting islam, which wants to destroy them, but it's pretty damn crazy for anybody to accept this hideous ideology.

they were advertising that it would be all about SC's take on Trump's "crazy" news conference.

So, Trump must've scored a lot of heavy duty direct hits if the MSM feels they have to wheel out the big guns....well...

with Colbert it's more like wheel out a limp, syphilitic lemming's penis,

but you get the idea.

and the joke they highlighted was so incredibly lame it was pitiful.

One big point Milo makes is gays supporting Muslims....Sort of like
"Gays for Allah" or something. Just before they throw you off the roof.
He doesn't understand how they can support what they do, or the
religion.

__________________________

It's crazy for any sane person to support islam. What rational
person, who believes in a Divine Creator, could believe that said
Creator wants his creations to destroy one another? And muslims claim
they believe that Jesus was a great prophet, but they ignore everything
He taught. How does that make sense? And why would any woman want to
be part of a religion/ideology that says women are lesser beings than
men? How much self-loathing as a woman would you have to have to be
willing to accept a life where men dictate what you must wear, where you
can go, who you can see, what you can do, etc.

Milo is right about gays being crazy for accepting islam, which
wants to destroy them, but it's pretty damn crazy for anybody to accept
this hideous ideology.

I could actually get behind the "Outreach" Idea.

If by "Outreach" you mean shooting them into space towards the sun.

But, we would need a bigger shuttle.

And only send them at night, when the sun isn't so hot.

175 The first launch from LC-39A was in 1967, almost 50 years ago. Today's flight will be the first from that pad since the last Shuttle launch in 2011. It's great to see this historic pad come back to life.

I don't. I was in the Military. McCain is the kind of guy you don't wont to be around. He was forced upon the Navy because of his ancestors. I would say Lord Cardigan but as far as I know McCain never lead six hundred in a futile charge. More like Burnside. McCain's Senate career has been one Battle of the Crater moment after another.

This was the actual quotation by Charles Boldin to Al Jazeera:"When I became the NASA Administrator, (President Obama) charged me with three
things," Bolden
said in the interview which aired last week. "One, he wanted me to help
re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me
to
expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps
foremost, he
wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage
much more
with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their
historic
contribution to science, math and engineering." Note that there was nothing in there about, you know, actually exploring space.

184 Since this is the first flight from this pad for SpaceX and their pad hardware is new, a scrub will not be unexpected or surprising. There are lots of bugs to work out, I'm sure.

The Shuttle launch structures are not currently being used. The Rotating Service Structure is gradually being dismantled. The taller tower, the Fixed Service Structure, will have to be modified for future manned launches.

Quality of the product. Conservative run companies have expensive products but you go out of your way and wait in line to buy because the quality and service more than make up for the expense.

190 I keep having to extricate myself gently from conversations at cocktail parties, excuse myself graciously from the table at private dinners, because everybody starts shrieking in unison about how this is the worst thing that has ever happened in American history, people who had never voted before voted this time, the "so-called President" didn't get "most of the votes," and "Trump is a lunatic." I especially like the observation that "people who had never voted before voted this time" being used to dispute the election results.

She had to go and find out, she came back and said yes. Soon after the owner of the restaurant came to our table to "chat". I'm thinking he was a Trump supporter as he asked me lots of questions on how our experience was at the inauguration. The wine was a 2015 Meritage, Monticello Red Wine, blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot....
