Seven Ways Trump Is Taking Back America's Culture
Andrew Breitbart famously said, “Politics is downstream of culture,” and while establishment Republicans seem unwilling to defend America’s culture and values on many fronts, President Donald Trump is already changing the country’s politics by taking back its culture from progressives.
It's a start, but until we claw back academia from the progressive scum that have infiltrated it from top to bottom we have a long and arduous road ahead of us.
Restaurant Union Member: 'Tipping is a Horrific Legacy from the Days of Slavery'
That is a great quotation. It means absolutely nothing, is historically inaccurate, and is like a flashing light on her head warning others of her blinding stupidity.
Trupti Patel, a member of ROC United who spoke at the press conference, said she’s heard many “horror stories” of sexual harassment from her fellow restaurant workers who keep quiet over fear of losing their jobs. She argued that restaurant servers should not have to rely on tips to earn a living wage. “Tipping is a horrific legacy from the days of slavery. I know this nation is better than that. Why would we want to uphold something like that? So when you want to pay somebody $2.13 per hour, you still want to encourage all those bad mindsets,” she said. Mary Campbell works in food service at the Pentagon and uses food stamps, Medicaid and section 8 housing assistance. Campbell said she earns $9.08 per hour and does not receive health benefits.
The last time I checked, slavery was involuntary. Is there anyone here familiar with the coercion used by restaurants (and the Pentagon!) to keep these people from leaving those jobs and looking for other, better paying jobs?
Misanthropic Humanitarian is otherwise engaged, thus the ONTbyDildoTM last night and tonight. For a peek behind the curtain of the complex machinery that keeps AoSHQ running like a top, it's a fair amount of work to produce an ONT, even a slim one such as this evening's, and I am in awe of folks like Maetenloch and CDR M and Misanthropic Humanitarian who did it or do it more than once each week and don't bore us into comas.

Apparently they liked me, but they're concerned about my experience presenting material (WTF? I was an intel officer for six years and an instructor for another four!) as well as that I was a bit rough around the edges. My language was a little rough (I tried to keep it under control). When asked what my biggest weakness was, I replied, "I'm an asshole".

It's a good living, where by and large one's earnings are very directly tied to one's work ethic.
My friend started out trying to get into PR (in DC, go figure) but he found he hated it. He did like the wining and dining part of PR though, so that's how he got started. Eventually he found himself working at Citronelle where he ended up earning a reputation as a really solid and dependable worker who could relax patrons and get them in a spending mood. Those kinds of people are highly in demand in the restaurant industry. He left Citronelle before it closed but never had a problem finding a job pretty much anywhere in town.
What's really incredible to me is that the Left really tends to look down on guys like him, thinking he's "just a waiter." He isn't "just" anything.

She analyzed her dream to mean that her subconscious was alerting her to the fact that I was a Bad Man.
So much later down the road with divorce looming / in progress when I recalled this event among several others and did my own psychoanalysis of her as in 'You are a psycho and are fucked in the head!' she was, get this, not amused.

Yes. Santa Barbara comes down your chimney and takes half of your bank account balance to pay for an "urgently needed" desalination plant.
Then, Santa Barbara sells off all the equipment from the plant at pennies on the dollar to shadowy unidentified bidders, when it turns out to not be so urgently needed as first thought.
Then when it is revealed again to be urgently needed, Santa Barbara comes down your chimney a second time to take the rest of your money to put the plant back in service.
The Grinch has never looked so good by comparison.

But I'm sure I was too stupid to figure it out on my own. I must have sponged it up from somewhere.
But it makes me wonder - if it's such common knowledge - why all the Leading Intellectual Republican Lights here and in meatspace still can't figure out why handing more and more power to their betters doesn't turn out ... well ... better.

Frederic Bastiat was a French economist in the mid 19th Century. His book "The Law", which was not much more than a pamphlet, was brilliant, concise, and clear as a bell.

Gender Identity, whether one believes one is a boy, a girl, or mayonnaise, is concomitantly considered both something that one defines themself by, with no objective basis but only one's subjective opinion, but also an integral part of one's being that defines who they know they are and that can not be changed (to the point of making such attempts illegal).

I was at an airport, observing a machine that was going to be used as a special effect in a movie. It was a gigantic mechanical bear that looked like it was made of ice.
Two pilots rode in the head, using the eyes for windshields. There was a large propeller-driven engine mounted on the back.
As the engine warmed up, the head shook back and forth, like a dog shaking himself dry. Then as it got up to speed, the bear started rotating on the ground, and the jaw opened and closed every so often. It rotated back and forth, forth and back, faster and faster.
The guy next to me was in communication with the pilots, and he started saying, "Ok, stop the engine." "Cut the engine." But the pilots wanted to put the machine through its paces and ignored him.
Then all of a sudden the engine rotated to vertical and the bear lifted into the air like a helicopter. It wasn't supposed to go airborne, and the pilots cut the engine immediately. It dropped to the ground, hit hard, and the engine and rotor collapsed. Black smoke surrounded it and the guy next to me said, "This is bad." Then I saw orange flames appear though the smoke.
My dreams are nothing if not entertaining.

So in my dream I was in some large auditorium, and I was in some civic group doing community theatre, a double bill that night. During the first show I was milling around back stage, not really sure what I was supposed to do. And then they said the Second Show had started, and this time it was a musical comedy about Nazi's, kind of like Springtime for Hitler but with more updated music. (I do score my dreams with original music from time to time) So I looked and saw I was wearing a brownshirt Nazi uniform, with the armband, and they said "it's the 3rd number! You're on! " And I said "But I don't know it, what is it?" And they laughed and said "come on, you're the lead!!!" and they handed me a copy of the music and shoved me on stage and the curtain came up - there I was, on stage in a Nazi Uniform in front of an entire auditorium waiting to here me sing.
I think I kind of managed to stumble through it, because at least the back up singers were kind of good.

This is true.
Each sex has its own characteristic weaknesses. The trick is to recognize them so that you can control them.
The problem today is that, while our culture recognizes and even grossly exaggerates male weaknesses, it refuses to acknowledge the female ones.

Your body paralyzes you when you're asleep in order to prevent you from hurting yourself. It's for your own good.

Men who nurture successful relationships develop the power of apologizing profusely and convincingly, even though in their heads all they are hearing is "blah blah blah I'm mad blah". Advanced levels are where you start to sense the pressure building, so you find plausible reasons to make yourself scarce until the overheated steam pressure can be vented at some other poor unsuspecting soul.

I've not heard of that place in decades. Just Damn! /acidman/dax montana
I moved away from San Antonio back in '99, coming down to Kemah on Galveston Bay.
Jim's Restaurants were a common venue then, and still are. For my money, one of the finest breakfast tacos in town. And in a +60% Hispanic town, that's quite a claim.
I can't hardly stand visiting San Antonio anymore. So very overbuilt, overtrafficed, overcrowded.
Remember when Helotes was the start of the Hill Country? And an early Sunday morning motorcycle ride up S.H. 16 to the Old Spanish Trail restaurant in Bandera, was a thing!?
Better days, those. Better days.

Gotta compare notes sometime. Besides Lackland AFB, I lived mostly in the N.W. part of town. Leon Valley, Medical Center, and finally, out 'round 1604 & Babcock Rd. Just inside of 1604, across from Hills & Dales icehouse, if that'll do for a reference?
I pains me to visit, now. It's really not "San Antonio" anymore. It's just another Texas Metropolis, with a shallow, narrow but pretty, landscaped ditch lined with overpriced restaurants.
At least Galveston can't really "grow" in terms of sprawl. 'Cause buildings can't swim.

Outside of saying "eff it all, I'm making cookies." Which I did.
I got an email.From a possible freelance client.
Positive: He wants to talk next week.
Negative: OMG. The guy is an computer genius and used to work in R D at Sony Computer Entertainment. Now he has his own firm, which has rocketed to the top of it's field. I talk to a lot of people who are really talented, but typically I talk to "creative genius" as opposed to "technical computer genius."
Postive: I have an OK understanding of what his firm does, and know many of his end users, as well as some people he's collaborated with on projects in the past.
Negative: My computer is a giant typwriter that I also use to look at cat videos.
Positive: My last horrible relationship was with a commitment phobic narcissist who pretended he was bipolar who was actually a computer genius in his own right. You know... maybe I shouldn't freak out over this.

Broccoli has several times the Potassium of Bananas.
Just don't cook the broccoli to death. DO THOUGH, give it a wee sprinkling of black pepper, and cook in a bath of very buttery water.
If you do happen to cook it down into mush, just let the cooking water cool, and drink it straight down.
It's tasty, and that's where all the nutrients will have found as their new home. Till they find their home in your bellah!

Speaking of legs and pregnancies, there's a movie Crash in which James Spader has sex with a scar on a woman's leg. It's an artsy fartsy film by David Cronenberg, so you don't have to feel guilty about watching it.

Apparently if you use too much of it your ears will ring and you may wind up with a form of scaly dermatitis that clears up when you stop using it.

QDP stands for an at-home business I tried to start up forever ago (1994), called Quality Desktop Publishing. (I was an early wunderkind with PageMaker and QuarkXPress.) It never got off the ground.
I didn't know about domain names yet, so all of my employees (when I got to that stage) would be qdp-something. qdpamy, qdpjames, etc etc.
In the meantime though, I've found it can stand for a lot of other fun things.
I've also noticed that if you draw a very basic lower-case q, d, and p on a sheet of paper... it kind of looks like a face. :-)
So that's why I like to stick with the QDP moniker.

Recently, my circumstances have changed, and I had to look for a more... mass-market food to give them. I decided to give the Pure Balance brand a try, specifically their Wild and Free blend. It seemed healthier than most other brands at my local big-box store. Whole turkey is the first ingredient on the list.
My cats are just absolutely nuts for it! They were crowding around me as I was putting it in their feeder, and they just dove right in the instant I put it on the floor. They love it!
And it's definitely healthier than, say, Meow Mix. Neither one of them has vomited since I started them on this new brand a couple of days ago, so that's a definite improvement over what I was feeding them before.

Thank you tbodie.
I love writing, and have always had the ability to do so. It's my gift from God, and I'm trying to make use of it.
It's been a rough day, and when I got the email from the potential client, I went into shock. I talk to a lot of very talented people but not typically coders. Then I remembered something: last actual relationship I had (which was really awful) was with a software developer who really, really envied my creative abilities. That made me think that perhaps I'll have complimentary talents in regards to what this guy needs for his firm.
Best part? He used to have an alternate identity in the demoscene, and he's done quite a few videos, so I can prepare some for our chat next week.
Worst part? He's about 15 years younger than me. But I look good for my age, LOL.

The other night, I counted fifty well-timed seconds between a flash, and the thunder. So, probably ten miles away. I suppose people out on the plains see/hear stuff much further away.
Actually, I see lightening (not streaks, but illumination, without thunder) almost every night, but it rarely becomes a storm here.

#Nightmares
Used to often dream that Milady turned into a cold, stand-offish person - as if she treated me the way most of my family always treated me.
I didn't hold it against her, of course, but I did write a song about it.

It is to the great shame of our society that we fail to transmit our cultural classics to new generations. Young folks don't have any idea what's behind the green door. Young couples don't get educated by Linda Lovelace's documentary. They just watch money shots on xxx-sites. No art, no class.

Why don't you guys sign up for an Area 51 tour. I think there's a tour that will take you to the famous sign, and you can see the "cammo dudes" who guard the place.
Back in the '90s, I think, at the height of all the Area 51 hoopla in the UFO kook Kommunity, there was some guy, who was desert rat type and knew the area. His shtick was to mess with the cammo dudes. He'd get as close as could and try to bait them to come out and try to scare him. He'd then take their pictures and post it.
Apparently, if they were identified publicly, they'd get in trouble and get fired.

Put "Area 51 Google maps" in Google and you can see where it is. It's a YUGE complex. Well, the whole base. "Area 51" (whether it was ever really called that, who knows) was some sub location.
Jonathan Turley, actually was able to force the US govt. to admit the base existed. It was in some law suit, and he found some legal catch-22 that forced the govt. to admit it existed in order to exempt it from some regulation. So, Bill Clinton had to sign something to do so. Look it up.
The law suit was actually something serious. Former workers worked with a lot of very toxic shit and it was something related to that. The govt's position was "well, that never existed, so you have no case"...

With Google Maps, you can see a lot of shit at that base. What's it called, Groom Lake? Anyway, I think "Area 51" is actually marked on Google and you can zoom in and look.
IIRC, the Russians released the first public satellite images of the place back in the late 90s. It was before Google Earth and all that.
The conspiracy types are always finding "censored" sat images in Google Earth. Sometimes they just "white out" areas, and sometimes they actually put fake data in to try to make it look normal. But you can see evidence of tampering if you look good.
I mean really dig into the data and you'll see stuff that indicates a cut and paste.

Years ago, there used to be some "lookout point" that was not owned by the govt, and you could go there and see a lot of the goings on. Weird shit and a "light show". There's footage of some of it, probably still on the web somewhere.
ANyway, they finally just buttoned that up by seizing the land. When it comes to NAtional Security, land seizure is nothing. Draconian, and since it's National Security, you can't complain publicly.
What they do there, who really knows, but that is where all the cutting edge black technology is put together and tested. I think the stealth fighters were tested there.
Trying to sneak on that land is a very bad idea. You'll get in a whole lot of trouble. They delight in scaring the shit out of people dumb enough to try.
You can get close, but once you set foot on the actually property of the base, your ass is grass.

They have got some hellaciously sophisticated sensors on the perimeter of that base to detect any humans trying to get on it.
You'd think that would be ideal to put on the Southern border.
Maybe they don't want to disclose it. Or it doesn't scale well....probably so damn expensive, you wouldn't believe it.
It's been years since I was reading about this stuff, but, all you had to do was get close to the line, and then there would be "cammo dudes" in jeeps or humvees or whatever showing up.
We're watching you, was the message. Now set foot on it, and the cammo dudes then detain you.
If I remember, if it was just idiot, they'd scare the absolute shit of him, then turn him over the local LEOs.
If they thought the tresspasser was something serious, like a Russian spy or something, I'm sure the disposition would be very different.
Most of the really interesting shit is probably underground. All the conspiracy types spin some tales about just how big a facility that is underground.

How do you intend to prepare the rabbit for the table?
All kidding aside, it's actually hard to find green stuff that's not all right with a rabbit. They do this for a living.
"I just had my friend's pet rabbit, who's been AWOL for over the past 24
hours, just damn near gave me a heart attack by hopping towards me (I'm
outside)."
Had the gawddamndest cacaphony of loud strange sounds outside. Went out to try to scope out what was going on. No rabbits involved. Turns out to have been an epic throw-down between a raccoon and a skunk. I decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
