The Morning Rant

So back on August 6th, the attorney general for the state of NY, Letitia James, has announced that she's basically trying to put the NRA out of business. She has accused the NRA leaders of financial malfeasance and her solution is to dissolve the entire organization.

Note that she's not bringing criminal charges against the NRA leaders, she just wants the entire organization gone. No half measures here!

I think she's overplaying her hand. As I said, she's a progressive. Overplaying their hand is what progressives do.

This is obviously a political hit. In fact, it's clear that Letitia James has pretty much politicized the office of the NY State Attorney General, like all progressives do.

But how bad is her timing?

Coming as it does right after many American cities have been set on fire by rioting mobs which have resulted in record firearms sales, many by first-time buyers and even many by liberals. Imagine that: Progressives have figured out a way to get Americans to buy more guns. Because if there's one thing that this summer has taught Americans, it's the necessity of having the means to defend yourself against looting, rioting thugs.

But the message from the Democrats is

1. Your cities will burn
2. The police will be prevented from helping you.
3. And we're going to try to shut down the biggest organization that will support you.
4. Shut up, peasants

And you have to ask, WTF? The intent, ultimate goal, and timing of James' lawsuit is are all mind-bogglingly stupid. Why are the Democrats going out of their way to give reasons to not vote for them?

Look at their convention. There's *not one* Democrat who will emphatically and unequivocally condemn the rioting and looting of our cities. Because all the Democrats have to do to do well in the election is to not be batshit insane. That's it. But they just can't.

When he is 97 years old and long retired, President Trump is going to write a book explaining how he successfully managed to sneak in a number of deep-cover operatives into various levels of the Democrat Party whose sole mission is to come up with really stupid, self-destructive ideas and then trick the Democrats into implementing them. And I'd guess that nothing in this book would surprise me in the least.

Monday's Who Dis: I first saw Colombian hottie Sofía Vergara in the 2012 reboot of The Three Stooges and was immediately impressed by her huge and spectacular... comedic acting chops. She was *really* funny and that movie is criminally underrated, in my opinion. She has been married since 2015 to Joe Manganiello, who, according to imdb.com, skydives with the Army's parachute team "The Golden Knights". He also used to shovel sand and gravel off of a truck and do demolitions for a construction company. So he's not a soy boy. They were in the 2019 film Bottom of the 9th together.

But the message is to NYers, who are never going to elect a Republican again, no matter how bad it gets. That state is a rotten borough like CA these days. The Left is safe to play extremist games there, also just like the CA commies. It's not like you'll see swing state AGs pull an insane stunt like this.

So there is very little risk in this particular play, IMO.

Worst case scenario: Trump wins, and you lose the ensuing lawsuit after tying up the NRA in litigation and appeals for years, and maybe even forcing them to relocate.

Best case scenario: Kamala Harris wins, and you win the lawsuit and appeals quickly, and eliminate the NRA.

It's a win/win-a-little-less scenario, from where I'm watching.

68 That sounds ... apocryphal.

First delivery of Spitfires to Malta was fifteen aircraft flown off of HMS Eagle. All arrived safely. Did this incident happen later? No mention of it in this detailed article:

https://tinyurl.com/y57l4s78
Posted by: spindrift

Looks like I misremembered. It was Hurricanes, not Spits.

Operation WHITE - ARGUS was again required to replace the attrition of aircraft in Malta and, after loading twelve Hurricanes and two Skua guide aircraft, sailed from the Clyde 11.11 escorted by the cruiser DESPATCH and destroyers DUNCAN, FURY and WISHART. Met by Force H west of Gibraltar, battlecruiser RENOWN, carrier ARK ROYAL, cruiser SHEFFIELD and destroyers FAULKNOR, FIREDRAKE, FORESTER, FORTUNE and FOXHOUND, she proceeded to the launch point where two flights took off on 17.11.

Due to the reported presence of strong Italian forces, the launch point was further west than that of HURRY, and that plus other factors, led to eight Hurricanes ditching through lack of fuel while one of the Skua guide aircraft lost its way, strayed over Sicily and was shot down. Sunderland and Glenn Martin aircraft, also intended as guides, did not meet the force and proceeded independently to Malta.

169 Chris Pratt's Rule #9:

"Nobody is perfect. People will tell you that you are perfect just the way that you are, you are not! You are imperfect. You always will be, but there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you are willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. Like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else's blood. Do not forget that. Don't take that for granted."

"Again: George Floyd died of a heart attack, probably brought on by the massive amount of Fentanyl in his system."

Ann is smart and informed, but I had not seen this ... is that confirmed ... heart attack? Makes sense ... he was saying he couldn't breathe and was "out of it" before they took him down. And while his struggle could cause a heart attack I guess, I doubt the knee on the neck would be the cause (?).

Since Floyd is the focal point of all the subsequent Burn/Loot/Murder ... seems we should have the autopsy facts better known.

They are top-tier tires. Their "Triple Tread" thing for good traction across conditions is an engineering marvel. But there are other top-tier brands. I usually buy Yokohama tires, which I have always been happy with for summer tires (though Kumho and Michelin (if you can afford the Michelins, anyway) are also very good).

I haven't bought domestic tires since I don't know when. Foreign tires have almost always been on my whips - I remember getting Vredstein's on my VW back in the 70's. I've been getting Hankook and Sumitomo for the past 20 years or so. My new car has Goodrich on it, first times I've had BF products since the old '71 Firebird.

Since my car has different sized tires front/rear (yeah, I know) only a handful of makers do tire sets for it - Goodyear being one.

It makes it a lot easier to make my short list even shorter.

We run the ten-ply Hankook tires on the the trio of Ford Transit 350, 14 passenger vans in the fleet.

Had to finally change them out at about 98,000 miles for two of the vans, and "Unit 1" (which pulls a 12' enclosed cargo trailer), at 75,000 miles.

Replaced them with exactly the same brand and series. Why mess with success?

323 Just saying tire X is good or bad doesnt really mean much. Every tire company has 100 product lines. Some are good some are bad. I have Goodyear summer tires and Michelin winter tires. Bought the specific model not so much the brand. Michelin Ice tires are the best winter tires out there. Goodyear makes really good summer performance tires but shit winters. GY is cheaper than Pirelli but almost as good performance. But hey fuck em from now on Pirelli it is.

I've gotten familiar with how things work in that industry, and it's amazing how close to the bone restaurant operation can be - same goes for supermarkets. I did work for a celebrity chef's packaging, he'd just opened a yuge restaurant in SF. The place was packed every night, and he closed it in just under a year because they never got in the black. Just wow.

The difference between giving customers 1tbsp of butter compared to 3/4 adds up quickly and when you multiply that by a hundred with everything that can wind up on a plate it's staggering. That's why people make a living bean counting for restaurants to keep them in the black. I'd hate to be a restauranteur and scraping food into the garbage. I'm ok asking for more tortillas.

Just imagine when they put out 12 tortillas, and the customer eats 2 then asks for more because the ones you put out got cold. Certainly a business that's fun to imagine doing, but I'd never touch it.

396 I've gotten familiar with how things work in that industry, and it's amazing how close to the bone restaurant operation can be

Sure, its tough to keep your profit margin up, but you do so through pricing everything enough to make money on all your portions, not by gouging people on the little stuff. They deliberately underserve you on stuff like tortillas because they can make a mint on giving you enough for the job.

Anyone who is a chef worth a crap knows how much you need to complete a meal, and every one of them does this crap with something like fajitas because its a way of making up money on low-margin foods. Its the same reason they charge $3.50 for a cola that costs them 5 cents.

397 251 Hankook is a good tire in my experience, and their winter tires are
*extremely* good - second only to the Nokians, and superior to the
Yokohamas, on par with the Goodyears.

----
Ex-Mainer here completely on board with the Nokian and Hankook shoutouts -- very good all-season tires to begin with, excellent winter rubber.

403 390 how much did it cost in $$$ to get Stephen Stills to sell out his very classic song so some flaming ghey black dude can use it

---------

Oh, between that stupid song and CSNY, I imagine Stills has a Scrooge McDuck sized pile of gold. I bet he worked for free.

You think so? It's funny how mercenary some of these enlightened rockers get when it comes to material they actually own. It's not like John Fogerty back in the day realizing that Pepsi or Cheetos would get the rights to his CCR songs before he would get them.

That's why the Trump campaign posted all those Epstein's Island pics of Bill on the same day. He made that speech while people looked at images of him with the blonde submissive chicks who were NOT Hillary and that painting of him in the blue dress.

He reminds me a lot of Ashton Kutcher in that regard. Also, I believe he is very strong in his faith, so a pro-life stance would be consistent.

I don't know how well Steve Stills or any of those has-beens has managed his money, he has been out touring with Judy Collins the last few years.

Tours are the new hotness with musical acts, the butts in seats pay money to be there, and you can sell them t-shirts and other stuff for cold hard cash.

See? He's not such a pure hippie that he won't take that sweet nostalgia tour payday. Charge old boomers and Xers who ought to know better $100+ a ticket to relive the days before they sold out, moved to the 'burbs, bought two Subarus, and sent both their kids to watermelon private universities. Also refills the personal coffers from the ravages of the 20th century.

416 My dad made kimchi once. Something went terribly wrong. My buddy opened it up around the time it was supposed to be "ready," and whatever was inside was like something from another planet. An indescribably awful planet.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at August 19, 2020 12:09 PM (xkm5f)

It's extremely easy to get the wrong type of critters infecting your kimchi or pickles or whatever.

Then it's rot and/or botulism time.

Our eldest has, for whatever reason gotten into salt curing pickled vegetables and fruits.

Even gone so so far as to pickle blueberries, which they claim are fabuloso.

But, they're always super careful to sterilize the jars and keep everything as clean as possible, then extremely careful about measuring the salt, etc.

Uses the results as a relish for meat and fish or a topper for rice.

417 @416 If you can't tell whether what you're eating is "good" or filled with toxic bacteria, might I suggest a change in the menu?

As a related matter I have since resolved not to each French cheeses that smell like ass, just because someone has described it as having "hints of walnut" etc.

418 When is too early for a beer? I moved furniture summers and holidays to pay my way through college. The only time I ever saw a moving man turn down a free beer was when we drove up to a senior sergeant's quarters on the beach at Fort Monroe at 8:30am. The sergeant came out with a beer in his hand and said "Good mornin' guys, want a beer?" and the driver said on behalf of all of us "Uh, maybe a little later". It was a hot day, with no trees between the truck and the house, so we were all drinking the guy's beer by 10:00. Does that answer the question?

422 "Why are the Democrats going out of their way to give reasons to not vote for them?"

Because they think they can rally enough votes from their base to win. It's all about enraging or encouraging their voters enough to overwhelm the regular voters.
Duh.
