From the Trail of Tears, Slavery, Jim Crow, German repression in WWI, "Jap" internment camps in WW II, to the modern feminism attempt to repress white men, the attacks on Alpha Males, and the subtle misdirection of "Gun Control". A defining tactic of the left is lying propaganda against some minority group - then their repression by the state. Fuck that bunch of sick bigots.

Mr. President, I don't have much time, and as much as I want to say THANK YOU for all you've done so far and for simply standing up to the would be tyrants across the country, I am writing to implore you to PLEASE veto the omnibus spending bill. It is the utter antithesis of everything you ran on and everything you claimed to represent. It's a poison pill designed by those who hate you and would like nothing more than to see you brought down. To keep your base of support and to give you any hope of holding the house this fall, veto this bill.

I missed all the back and forth in the Morning Thread concerning the potential veto of the spending bill and PDT's tweets.
Sort of busy. But if that tweet is true about DACA and the wall, you know why I gave him the moniker President Richard Punch. Someone said he probably heard Palsi and Schemer laughing at him in the hall, so bam a veto. LOL. I don't think he is that juvenile, thouugh, this guy seems to have a plan even though he makes it look like he is a dumbfuck lucky idiot. As I tell my kids, there are many kinds of smart. Try to be one of them. But if this veto comes to fruition, then it will be Palsi and Schemer who fell for Trump's smooth conciliatory talk again. Not smaht. Sad.

New Orleans is a dump. Even the touristy areas. Or at least it was when I visited in '10.
I watched a recreation of a federal sting operation against NOPD cops. The sting took place in the late 80s I think. They actually had audio of one of the cops ordering a hit on a woman who made an official complaint about the cops beating up her son or neighbor's son (I forget which). The hit was carried out by a gang member. They also had audio of the cop receiving news she was dead, and he howled with glee like an animal. Same cop was being paid by the undercover to watch a warehouse the undercover was storing his drug shipments in. The cop recruited several other NOPD officers to help him do that. They demanded a car to sit in so they didn't have to run their cars all day to have A/C. The feds provided a minivan and put listening devices in it and caught several cops plotting to kill the undercover and take over his drug business. New Orleans is a shithole, and I doubt the NOPD is any better today. Posted by: bonhomme at March 23, 2018 10:13 AM (iv0p7) 317

Lindsey Graham's comments this morning are significant. You can take it as a given that not only was there support in the Senate for this bill, there was a dedicated 2/3 majority in support of this spending bill, probably enough to override a veto.
The GOP-e is indistinguishable from the Dems when it comes to spending, and when it comes to the wall. The house is bit better than the senate, but not much as long as Ryan is in charge. Trump has too many battles going on already. He's got to finish the one with the FBI and the CIA and the State Dep't before he can launch a war against what we have to admit is a Congress controlled by liberal democrats.

How does this differ from a pressure cooker with regards to the meat?
Posted by: Gumby Time and temperature is completely different. It's a much lower temperature - usually in the 140 to 160 degree range. Slower cooking. You're vacuum sealing the juices in. I also add some additional flavoring to the bag before sealing like wine, butter, lemon juice, bacon, bbq sauce, etc. Like a pressure cooker leaner cuts of meat take longer to make tender.

"New Orleans is a shithole, and I doubt the NOPD is any better today."
They are better today, and it only goes to prove that Katrina was in fact the best thing to happen to New Orleans in the last hundred years. You remember how the National Guard had to be brought in to police the city for over a year after Katrina hit? It wasn't publicized because it was so embarrassing, but when outsiders came in and started looking at things, they ended firing the entire police department and having to rebuild it from scratch. I remember one particular incident - immediately after Katrina, federal officials were amazed that 300 or more policeman listed as being on duty had apparently disappeared, and everything was critically understaffed. It turned out that New Orleans had been receiving large grants of money from the Feds that were based on a per capita police head count, and so the City Govm't had created 300 or more "police officers" who existed only on paper. The Mayor, the D.A., and the Police Chief were splitting the extra cash from this between themselves, of course passing along some to their personal henchmen in each area. (Who can break a conspiracy that's being run BY the DA and the Police dep't??) And that's just a small tidbit of how corrupt New Orleans was before Katrina.

327 Lindsey Graham's comments this morning are significant. You can take it as a given that not only was there support in the Senate for this bill, there was a dedicated 2/3 majority in support of this spending bill, probably enough to override a veto.
The GOP-e is indistinguishable from the Dems when it comes to spending, and when it comes to the wall. The house is bit better than the senate, but not much as long as Ryan is in charge. Trump has too many battles going on already. He's got to finish the one with the FBI and the CIA and the State Dep't before he can launch a war against what we have to admit is a Congress controlled by liberal democrats.

If they've already declared their overriding no matter what, then you absolutely HAVE to call Grahamnesty's bluff and make them all put it in writing."
No - that would be bad tactics for Trump. You don't march into a defeat when you know it's coming, you find a way to sidestep it gracefully. To put it in military terminology, Trump does not have the forces to win this one, and a defeat would embolden his enemies in all of the other battles he's fighting. There are sound reasons why all strategists strongly advise against getting into a two front (or 3 front, or 5 front) war. You can't effectively prosecute any of them, and they all start to feed on each other and coordinate their attacks on you. Trump has begun making bold moves with his staff.

North Louisiana is radically different than South Louisiana. More like Texas and Mississippi.
I've always thought Northwest Louisiana is more like Texas, and Southeast Texas is more like South Louisiana. When we lived in Bossier City, it seemed like there was an article in the local paper lamenting none of the money from the government ever made it north of I-10. That area has a thriving movie industry. It was just starting to take off when we left. I haven't been through since the flood. The last time I drove that way, I-20 was nothing but dirt. I hope they've finished the construction by now. Posted by: no good deed at March 23, 2018 10:32 AM (eIQHF) 429

394 327 Lindsey Graham's comments this morning are significant. You can take it as a given that not only was there support in the Senate for this bill, there was a dedicated 2/3 majority in support of this spending bill, probably enough to override a veto.
The GOP-e is indistinguishable from the Dems when it comes to spending, and when it comes to the wall. The house is bit better than the senate, but not much as long as Ryan is in charge. Trump has too many battles going on already. He's got to finish the one with the FBI and the CIA and the State Dep't before he can launch a war against what we have to admit is a Congress controlled by liberal democrats.

And that's just a small tidbit of how corrupt New Orleans was before Katrina.
Posted by: Tom Servo at March 23, 2018 10:22 AM (k1TUh) Chicago of the South. The difference is in earlier days, Chicago had enough industry to attract people despite it's corruption. If you were a blue collar guy with a decent paying job at the meat-packing plant or in construction, you could overlook the shady dealings of city hall. Now that industry has dried up and Chi-town is left with gangbangers on the South Side, yuppies on the North Side and a flood of illegals. If they work they're doing jobs the white ethnics used to do. But New Orleans never had heavy industry to offset the corruption. In some ways, it's more like a Caribbean city than an American one. Some very wealthy elites, lots of really poor people, massive corruption, an exotic atmosphere that attracts tourists (that makes it a cut above a complete shithole like Port au Prince) and good restaurants, but crime-ridden and a crumbling infrastructure.

Sure, they'd like to neuter Trump by forcing him to sign a Porkulous that funds all the wrong things. But Trump has only one way to increase his power and that is to veto. Every other way diminishes him. Force them to override and call the Senate's bluff. He holds his base, and those who choose to vote for override are exposed to the voters. Could spell the end of the GOPe, in that it would outrage voters to the point of a bloodbath for the party. I dunno, it's clear they want minority status. I don't know if they want to be hated.

Some very wealthy elites, lots of really poor people, massive corruption, an exotic atmosphere that attracts tourists (that makes it a cut above a complete shithole like Port au Prince) and good restaurants, but crime-ridden and a crumbling infrastructure."
A few writers (John Barry, for one) have made the case over the years that New Orleans should have been the natural choice as the city to be the center of the growing Energy Industry during the 20th Century. But, they were insular and corrupt, focused inwardly on themselves and resistant to any newcomers with new money and new ways. So, the energy industry instead became based in Houston, which really had very little going for it 100 years ago. Now Houston is the 4th largest city in the US and one of the wealthiest cities in the world, while New Orleans is still just same old New Orleans, a bit worse for the wear. Houston is what New Orleans should have been, but rejected. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 23, 2018 10:44 AM (k1TUh) 510

Paul Ryan replaces all his shoe laces with licorice. In case he needs an emergency "carb up" Posted by: Nationalist Pikachu at March 23, 2018 10:38 AM (2MIbC) Heh. A guy from my old unit told a story about when he went through Ranger school. One of his classmates was always chewing, and the instructors were sure that he had pogy bait stashed in his gear. They'd rip everything apart trying to get at it. Then they realized that he was only chewing after adjusting his bootlaces. He'd replaced the laces with 550 cord, which was common. What wasn't common was that he replaced the inner strands with thin licorice strands. Dood got a minus for eating pogy bait, but also got a plus for ingenuity.

Correlation or causation?
Posted by: Forgot My Nic at March 23, 2018 10:06 AM (LOgQ4) Causation. I've lost 37 lbs on SouthBeach, which is low-carb, low-sugar (not exactly like Atkins or paleo, since it restricts fat intake - "good fats" only - and fruit, which contains sugar.) I thought I would hit a plateau at some point but I'm still losing weight steadily. My body is responding well to the absence of carbs and sugar.

I once watched a guy get run over a lot in a way that made me pretty sure he was dead, but I ran out to stop traffic and check on him. I was like, "ok, self, you're about to touch a dead guy" and I was bracing myself for him to be cold. It turned out that he had a pulse and was not at all dead.

Barksdale AFB.
I had our son while we were stationed there. So, I have good memories. It was an easy drive to visit my parents down in TX too. They had just finished the riverwalk while we were there, but they were having trouble keeping tenants in the storefronts. Right before we left, the postal service stopped delivering mail to part of Shreveport because it was too dangerous. The residents kept shooting at each other.

My 1st trip to N.O. we took the Amtrak from Atlanta. Hopped a cab from the train station and 45 minutes and 50 bucks later we were on Bourbon St. Got to talking with a bartender and told him about our trip down on the train and how much of the city we got to see on the ride over in the cab. He laughed and said the train station is less then a mile from the bar and that was a common tactic of the cabbies.

So, the energy industry instead became based in Houston, which really had very little going for it 100 years ago.

I've been thinking of a sous vide, maybe one of those immersion ones
Problem is the family thinks rare is icky Chef steps time and temp guide for sous vide: https://preview.tinyurl.com/na33m84 You don't have to stick to rare, at all. Also, for steaks you want to finish it even if you do like rare. You can do cast iron, a searsall blowtorch, or even my favorite, a charcoal chimney that's still flaming hot. Also, don't do butter in the sous vide bag. Tons of people will tell you to do it, but I've done extensive taste testing with myself and others, universally they all pick the steak with no butter in the bag as the better steak.

So, how does sous vide work? And why is it so much better than traditional cooking methods for some foods? Allow us to explain. With traditional cooking methods, heat flows from a burner to a pan then into our food, or the glowing elements of an oven heat the air around the food, cooking it. Because the air in the oven and the metal in the pan are much hotter than you want your food to be, you’ve got to take it away from the heat at just the right time. Take it off too early or too late and your food is either over- or undercooked. But when cooking with water, instead of an oven or a pan, we can raise the temperature just enough to get the food to the exact temperatures we prefer. We can take it out as soon as it's done cooking, or let it rest in the water until we’re ready to eat—no more obsessively checking inside the oven, no more chaining yourself to the stove.

My steaks are as good as John Howie. Cut open any steak at home or at even a moderately good steak house. There will be a grey band around the perfect pink middle. My steaks don't have that. Edge to edge perfection. Sure it takes an hour to cook, but all it takes is a tiny bit of planning. I put in water in the tank in the morning and can heat it up from an app on my phone. Then an hour before I'm ready for my perfect steak, I toss it in the water. Posted by: bonhomme at March 23, 2018 11:05 AM (iv0p7) 608

Huey P. Long was Donald Trump a hundred years ago. Good chance he could've been President had he not been killed. "
He got killed by his own bodyguards, accidentally. Fun story -years ago, I was on a trip through Baton Rouge, took my grade school aged daughter on a short tour of the State Capitol (beautiful building) and we were in the vestibule just off the main lobby, and this man walks out of an office, see us looking at a picture of Huey L, and says "yeah, this is where that cat got himself shot". You can still see all the pockmarks in the marble walls of that room, they're everywhere. So he tells a bit of the history on the shooting, then takes us over to the House Chamber and shows it to us, and then said "well, I got to get to work, very nice talking to you!" He never introduced himself, but on leaving I looked up at some picture of the current leadership, and realized it was the current Louisiana Speaker of the House. A very nice treat!

It's difficult to understand him without the context of the Great Depression and the shape Louisiana had been in for decades leading up to it. To just dismiss him outright with a socialist label is a mistake. There's much to learn since we're headed straight for another Depression.

Oh, and how Huey's bodyguards accidentally killed him - Huey had a thing about making himself look like Al Capone, he always kept two bodyguards with him who openly carried .45 caliber Thompson machine guns. It made him quite a sight! So they were in this rather small marble lined vestibule when Carl Weiss, a physician, walked up carrying a small .38 caliber pistol. It's doubtful whether or not Weiss ever fired, because upon seeing him, the two bodyguards with Tommy guns cut loose. It's a small room, who can still see the bullet pock marks all over it - 45 caliber bullets were richocheting everywhere. Weiss was killed instantly, Long died later.
The bullet that killed Huey was removed and subsequently disappeared - because it was a 45 caliber, not a 38. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 23, 2018 11:13 AM (k1TUh) 653

From the previous thread:
"I'm in IL and what little reason I had to maintain GOP registration for primaries just evaporated when Ives lost to Rauner...who prefers to vote for the social issues of his Democrat wife rather than keep his promises. I'm supporting Trump, but I'm also registering independent." I live in IL and have registered to vote at least half a dozen times in 5 different counties over the past 30+ years. Not once have I ever been asked to state a party affiliation at the time of registration, or been obligated to stick to that party affiliation. In IL primary elections you do have to choose either the Republican or Democratic ballot, and which ballot you took is part of your voting record. It was my understanding that you are free to choose either the Republican or Democrat (or other party if there is one) ballot in a primary regardless of how you have voted in the past. Since independents, by definition, don't belong to a party and wouldn't have primaries, how would you register as one? Am I missing something here?

I predict there will be a fast food restaurant chain using sous vide to produce medium rare hamburgers.
Due to the regulations and threats of lawsuits, companies like Burger King that used to make a decent product years ago now produce dry, intensely overcooked meat patties. Using sous vide, they can precisely put the burger to temperature, keeping it in the medium rare range, then do a quick sear on the outside for flavor.

People only have a finite amount of will-power and then it has to be replenished. It could be that they are very together in their narrow endeavor, but that intense level of focus leaves them nothing for the rest of day-to-day life.

I just got a ceramic egg cooker from Pampered Chef for $15. Poaches an egg in a minute. Toss a couple of eggs in it, stir them up and add veggies or cheese and you've got scrambled eggs in about a minute and a half (you have to be careful not to overcook the eggs.)

Hoarders and 600 lb life have the opposite effect on me. The first show makes me say "My house isn't really that messy." The second show tells me, "Hey, I'm not so fat after all."

"But using sous vide process for eggs is like buying a car for the sole purpose of driving to the mailbox to check the mail. Sure you can do it, but it's probably faster to just walk."
Posted by: Forgot My Nic at March 23, 2018 11:12 AM (LOgQ4) Using sous vide for one order of eggs benedict is a total waste of time. However, if you need to do 45 orders (90 eggs) in one morning, the "cook and hold" aspect of sous vide comes in handy. Posted by: Jwest at March 23, 2018 11:20 AM (/roJx) 671
I predict there will be a fast food restaurant chain using sous vide to produce medium rare hamburgers.
Due to the regulations and threats of lawsuits, companies like Burger King that used to make a decent product years ago now produce dry, intensely overcooked meat patties. Using sous vide, they can precisely put the burger to temperature, keeping it in the medium rare range, then do a quick sear on the outside for flavor. Posted by: Jwest at March 23, 2018 11:15 AM Burger King used to have the ultimate process. Precision sized raw hamburger, precisely timed conveyor belt, flamed on both sides simultaneously. The lines used to stretch out the door and up the sidewalk. Half an hour wait was common. Now I've read they microwave the burgers. They probably had some leftist neighbor sue the franchise because of the incessant scent of perfectly cooked hamburger going up the chimney made them get fat.

Since independents, by definition, don't belong to a
party and wouldn't have primaries, how would you register as one? Am I missing something here? Posted by: Secret Square at March 23, 2018 11:13 AM (+HoK2) ===== Independents still vote in 'primaries' because many, many tax and constitutional issues are done in the spring and fewer people vote in them so it is easier to get a tax passed with activism because people do not want to declare a party by requesting a ballot.

OK ~ so ~ as many of you know, Mrs. Redux is Colombian. And Colombians love the Colombian painter Botero. He represents the Colombians as fat in keeping with their larger than life, and affluent lifestyle and larger than life personalities (and egos). Colombians consider themselves the "Texans" of South America (Bigger and better) ~ they love their horses and their land. Who am I to disagree ( having been all over South America it is hard to not agree).
Now, Botero is not my usual cup of tea ~ but I do appreciate him. And his brushwork, use of color and updated Goya~esque approach to subjects is something to see ( especially in person ~ pictures do not do the paintings justice) I do not like his sculptures though. It si not the same in mono color in three dimensions. Posted by: Publius Redux at March 23, 2018 11:25 AM (0/0WS) 676
This talk of Huey Long allows me discuss one of my favorite books, All the King's Men. Although it is described as a great political novel, I don't think it is a political novel. I think it is a modern (1940s) retelling of The Divine Comedy. Consider, The Divine Comedy begins:
Midway in our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood. Although too long to quote, All the King's Men begins with the depiction of a driver losing concentration and crashing off the side of the road. Both are about negligently falling into sin and achieving redemption through suffering and intelligence. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler at March 23, 2018 11:26 AM (+y/Ru) 677

I agree with Tom Servo's posts(I can't seem to copy them and repost them here today).
I watched the press conference yesterday with Short and Mulvaney. Not only did they detail what the Republican's got out of the budget deal, such as funding for 156 miles of wall, that includes both new sections and rebuild, remodel of sections of a secondary wall in San Diego, but they also pointed out what they didn't get. And why. They explained , not nicely either, that the Senate is NOT under Republican control, because the rules require a 60 member majority to pass spending bills, which means at least 9 Dem Senators have to vote with ALL of the Republicans. So you have to give things to the Dems, I believe Mulvaney used the term, "buy Democrat votes". They also said that if the line item veto was available today, there would have been many items that Trump would have vetoed out of the bill. But it's not , so that is not something he can use.

"Now Houston is the 4th largest city in the US and one of the wealthiest cities in the world, while New Orleans is still just same old New Orleans, a bit worse for the wear.
Houston is what New Orleans should have been, but rejected." Galveston was Texas' largest city before the hurricane of 1900 hit it but it was already on its way to losing that status. The corruption associated with the Port of New Orleans was duplicated in Galveston and Texas was being throttled because of it. A US senator from north of Houston named Thomas Ball joined with William Marsh Rice to convince city leaders to join them in a push to create the Houston Ship Channel in order to allow commerce to bypass Galveston. Sen Ball was able to get federal funding for the massive dredging operation to get a channel deep enough all the way to the confluence of Buffalo Bayou at the far north end of Galveston Bay. Ball had been instrumental in getting rail service to Houston that fed the port. The city of Tomball is named after him and Rice University was founded by WM Rice. What lured the oil companies from locating in Beaumont 90 miles to the east was the opulence of the Courtlandt Place development south of the center of the city. Courtlandt Place was initially built from the wealth of the massive lumber industry that was churning north of Houston in what is known as the Piney Woods.
