Fairytale of New York
These days I'm partial to The St Stephen's Day Murders:
"There'll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias,
Mixed up with that drink made from Gibleys.
Cause it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath,
Ah, it's nice for the kids, as you finally get rid of them,
In the St Stephen's Day Murders."

I'm in fascist CA, and I think (though not sure) kids are exempt from the masks - or at least I just don't see small kids wearing them unless they're like 7-8 and up. At that point, I think they want to wear masks because programming. For them, it's a fashion accessory.
It's babies and very young I worry about. They're getting all of their social programming right now, and when they look at strangers, they see nothing. I can't make goofy faces at babies/toddlers standing in lines at the market for instance. Very sad.

My favorite new series on Adult Swim is Primal. Thought it looked really dumb when I saw the trailers, but it's pretty cool. No dialog at all. Gorgeous animation. About a caveman (Spear) and his pet dinosaur (Fang). It's looking like the progress of the thing is the caveman finding humanity along the way. He's bonding with his dinosaur, and now they will risk their lives to save each other.
The best part is, no matter how shitty a day you've had, this guy has it much shittier. Everything is trying to eat or kill him, usually both. Hysterical. And, lots of gratuitous violence. Very cool, recommended for animation buffs.

Note that even the preposterous arrogant incompetent Fauci, and his buffoonish idiot colleague Redfield of the CDC, had advised against school closures.
I've been asking younger neighbors with little kids about this whole thing - carefully and indirectly, of course. As "education" it's failing, of course - this they actually bring up themselves. They don't even mention the social aspect. And they readily acknowledge what a family disaster it is for most families, who can't afford nannies.
None of this would be going on one minute past the time the citizens, including in this case the parents of school kids, stopped putting up with it. We have a Zimbabwean political class, and a North Korean population.

If this sh!t was done as part of "benign" psychology experiment on children, the sponsoring professors et al, would be left for dead on the public square.
Good thing that's not who we are anymore!
As an aside, I think that about 2400 were killed in Pearl Harbor in the treacherous Jap attack on 7DEC1941 and we retaliated in force within less tah 5 years. Oddly enough more than that died in NYC on 11SEP2001, yet we have never really cleaned any of that scum up!

This book is centered around the attack, of the people involved, and their impressions. So in many ways it is an oral history of the attack.
Saturday in DC Kurusu would expound at length to two Americans in two settings how Japan was really exhausted but the military was the problem that had to be worked around. From the American recollections, Kurusu was definitely out of the loop.
The Japanese embassy in DC received a heads-up message to be ready to receive Japan's reply to the US letter from Nov 26. Then another message came in ordering them not to use a typist. So they improvised.
The FBI intercepted an 18 minute phone call from a Tokyo newspaper to a Japanese dentist. They finally made a transcript on 6 Dec. Amid talk of flowers the dentist's wife was asked questions like how many planes are flying. And then in some truly bad trade craft the 'reporter' said to give his regards to the wife, forgetting he was talking to the wife. This is the Mori conversation and it spooked the spooks.
Kita of the Japanese embassy would throw parties and invite many locals to attend. One of the American spooks would attend just to learn more about the embassy and staff. During one of these parties the geishas tossed a prominent Honolulu businessman into a blanket.
Gen. Short returning from a party Saturday night and after being briefed on the Mori conversation looked upon the brightly lit Battleship Row and stated "What a target that would make!" But still no inkling the target could be Pearl.
So it is a fascinating read.

Oh yeah, that was common AF when I was a teen. I'd go over to my buddy's place, and they'd insist on feeding me. And, then they'd feed me more. I still remember his dad (Air Force Colonel) slapping down a 2" thick hunk of beef on my plate the literal second I finally managed to put the last bit in my mouth. My mother was a single mom and gone a lot, so I tended to drift. These folks kept me off the streets and out of trouble on weekends.
I know at my age we all had hollow legs, so most homes were fairly well stocked with grub. Always have a little extra, it won't go bad. I too would be paying it forward if I had any teen kids. It's rough enough to be a teen in normal times, I can't even imagine now - when you can catch shit for using the wrong pronoun.

Of course they are stealing the election, they telegraphed that from jump street when they were able to leverage the plandemic into a complete change in how we organize and conduct a national elections.
And there were a good number of people that have been screaming that this is what they were going to do from jump street as well.
This is why you need to be cynical and conspiratorially minded, ALL THE FUCKING TIME, because the donks have literally been rigging and stealing elections from the inception of the Democrat party.
I mean it is, what it was, the question moving forward is what can we do about any of this?
From my perspective, this country is essentially going back to one party rule for at least the next 60 years, if not more, and the American experiment has pretty much been ended.
Voting was the biggest faith based initiative we undertook as a people.
There can be no faith in any election going forward.

But the key is the fraud, he can't only win by the margin of fraud, he's got to win by the margin of fraud cubed.

I have to admit that at that age, I did not want the sit down dinner, a.k.a., the interrogation. I was happy to just eat by myself in my room or at the table alone.

If anyone has a youngster who likes sword-stuff, Nerf makes good ones - that's a bit of an understatement because they're REALLY good and hold up a long time - but they're hard to find.
After our son's Nerf one from last Christmas finally broke in a way that was too dangerous to let him keep using it (sharp pointy plastic tip now), we tried one from Amazon made by Blades USA. It's more of a training sword and it doesn't have as much "give" as the Nerf sword, but it's really, really great. There are ninja swords, broad swords, and others, and they're a more solid material so you can spray paint them if you want them to look like actual swords.
Well worth $20.

This book is centered around the attack, of the people involved, and their impressions. So in many ways it is an oral history of the attack.
-------------
One fun fact that I noted elsewhere today is that the fourth Ford-class carrier will be named after someone who fought at Pearl Harbor. As you probably already know, Doris "Dori" Miller was a cook who ended up manning an anti-aircraft gun on the Oklahoma, and ended up receiving the Navy Cross for his actions that day. Sadly, he didn't survive the war, and died two years later.
CVN-81 will be the second ship named after him, and the first carrier in who knows how long that's named after someone who was never a high-ranking individual. Miller is most famous for the fact that he was the first black man to receive the Navy Cross.

The ships are huge. The planes were too high up to aim properly. The chance of actually hitting anywhere even remotely close to a gun and its crew was pretty slim. And the pilots had more important things to worry about (namely, making sure that their dive stayed centered on their target) than remembering to press the trigger on the guns.
And if the bomb did hit (most of them missed), then the devastation caused by one bomb would grossly outweigh the potential damage of a few extra rounds from the guns.

I would make three pounds of pasta and toss it with a dozen eggs, bacon and loads of Parmesan cheese to make carbonara for hungry football players. Then make some sort of a salad with everything else I had in the veggie drawer. Food was always gone and the boys would clean my kitchen without me even asking.

When I was in little league, there was this kid on my team who always played left field. Whenever the ball was hit there, he just stood still and stuck out his glove, and would then go chasing after the ball when it invariably failed to drop in his mitt. Game after game this happened, until one day, he stood there, arm out, and I'll be damned if the ball didn't land in his glove.

What a wonderful day today. There was spleen ventage, vocabulary usage, facial expression, and body language employed today. 100% of it was acting worthy of a Glee cast guest spot. Now i've got three peeps thinking they may need to work between Christmas and New Year's to make their CDRL delivery on the 4th of January.
It was glorious. I scheduled a deep technical dive on the 23rd. An internal peer review on the 28th, and an engineering review board for delivery prep on the 29th.
I embedded their own schedule with those dates hilited. With the caption that i wss happy someone else wanted to work as well since i didn't have any saved up vacation time!
I haven't told them i already worked it out with our customer to deliver on the 11th of January. I also didn't tell them i have six weeks of vacation that I'm selling back on the 31st sso I won't lose any.
I lurve my job. This 2020 covid season has really helped me to drive home how much a make-believe schedule file matters (not at all).

I bet they did want to learn. I taught all my kids to cook and do laundry because I didn't want them to have to hook up with the first person they met that could feed and give them clean clothes.

Americans are not bound by the Constitution, we are bound by the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution and the government it permits are merely one attempt to secure our God-given Rights, which has become destructive to that end.
The only time running out is before we are left with no choice but to alter or abolish it. Unless those who operate under, at this point SCOTUS, show it can be salvaged.

It is. Women get it into their heads that they don't want to be "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen", so they end up despising anything that even remotely resembles it (like cooking their own meals), and looking down on anyone who knows how to do so.

Ha. I know that's said in jest, but it made me laugh because our house would be hacked to pieces and lie in a heap.
I've mentioned it before but my youngest is special needs and has some oddities we've learned (and are still learning) to deal with. One is that he never really figured out how to play with toys. Lego clicks with him, but not much else. But he COMPLETELY understands banging on everything with sticks, and swords are just fancy, highly evolved sticks, so once he got the Nerf one he was off to the races.
All this to say, if that Nerf sword will hold up with him for almost exactly one year, it would possibly be a generational hand-me-down toy for other kids.

You a Dauntless pilot. Running low on fuel because McClusky had to search for the Japanese. You arrive high over the carriers. So far no flak or fighters to mar the blue sky.
Sure you've already charged both .50 since the charging handles are right there in front. You slide closed your plotting board into the instrument panel. Snug yourself in your seat one more time. Chat with your gunner.
You are also watching McClusky to see when he will signal the dive. Scanning just in case a Zero does show up.
There goes McClusky as he noses over while deploying the dive flaps, that Insignia Red inside the dive flaps is really noticeable. Now you make sure you've armed your bomb and leaned down to make sure you can reach the bomb release lever.
Now you push over following your section leader. Dive flaps out. Altimeter winding down at a fearsome rate it seems. 18,000. 15,000. The Japanese take notice and the first few puffs of anti-aircraft fire reach out. Suddenly your windscreen fogs up because you are now in far warmer air.
You peer through the telescopic sight as your hands and feet start getting you lined up on that wooden deck with the rising sun on it. It swells in your vision as you try to keep the crosshairs on that deck full of planes.
The carrier heels in evasive maneuver trying to throw off your aim. You adjust. The deck is also getting bigger. You hastily sneak a look at your altimeter and see you are now below 5,000ft. Just seconds to go it seems but it also seems like forever. They are still shooting at you but you don't have time to notice.
You glue your eye to the telescopic sight and keep that rising sun centered. Then at a moment of your choosing pull the lever.
Beneath your plane, the trapeze swings your bomb clear of the propeller. You in the cockpit feel the lurch as the plane suddenly gets lighter. You yank back on the stick and close the dive flaps that have kept your dive steady with no buffeting. Glance at the altimeter shows 1,800ft and you wonder if you released too soon. As thees thoughts flash through your mind you also notice the target is firing at you, you can see sailors on the deck and planes warming up.
And all you want to do at that point is to get as far away as possible. Still you can't help but look back while skimming low over the water to keep the Zeros from shooting your belly. You see near misses bracket the carrier in towering plumes of water and then there are hits, dark dirty eruptions smiting that carrier.
Sure you can pull the triggers on the .50s but you got a lot of other things you need to do also - firstly hitting the carrier.

Yup. Naming ships after former service people is fine, and a long-time tradition. Naming them after presidents who had some important positive effect on the military (like Reagan) is fine, as well. But that's pretty much it.
And even with that, I'd prefer if the big names don't get assigned to carriers. Losing a frigate is one thing. But when we eventually go to war again, I don't want to hear about how we lost the carrier "USS Ronald Reagan" due to enemy action.

Nothing more demoralizing though, to be on the other side, on the field, watching Bucky F'n Dent trotting around the basepaths.
In 1985 the Cardinals were locked in a tie ballgame with the Dodgers in Game 5 of the playoffs. Extra innings. Up to the plate steps Ozzie Smith. Who I think hadn't hit a home run batting lefthanded since... eh, since... the Truman Administration.
Corks it into right... this is gonna be a home run! Go crazy folks, go crazy....
Two days later the Dodgers, facing elimination, are leading in Game 6. Up to the plate steps Jack Clark. Tom Niedenfuer, same pitcher who gave up Smith's home run, is on the mound.
Jack jacks one into left field bleachers. For all intents and purposes, the game is over. Cards win, go to the World Series.
I bet it's the Ozzie home run that keeps Niedenfuer up at night, to this day. Not the Clark one.

But while in the Navy, I shared an apartment with 3 other guys, one of whom was the Cook for the Officers.
So, we would rotate cooking. If you had Cook duty for dinner, you bought the stuff for it, cooked it, and if it was good everyone else had to do the dishes.
If it sucked? You had KP duty as well.

See what Trump's legal team is doing. Changing the voting laws by anyone other than the state legislatures is completely unconstitutional. It was done in at least 4 and potentially more of the states currently under dispute not just PA.
The Constitution trumps, no pun, everything.
We are clearly in uncharted waters so I don't think it's particularly relevant to helpful to rely strictly on precedent. There are 80 million people at least who think this whole process was rigged. If the results of the MI investigation come in tomorrow and show corruption do you think people are just going to accept it and move on?
Yea, I think Alito does know about Constitutional law. So what about the other 3 states who violated it?

She is mad as Hell.
She has a strong hatred of injustice.
There are 6 weeks until inauguration. But there are other mechanisms such as the EC that exist and are in the Constitution.
The law that created the safe harbor was passed by Congress and signed by a President. It is presumed Constitutional until a court says it isn't. Until ultimately the Supreme Court say it isn't.
That is why I am asking if there is a challenge to it in process. If so hooray. If not that seems to be a requirement unless you get enough states to cast the outcome in doubt to declare that their slates are not set. And that has to happen tomorrow, or they are, legally, set.

This "church" humiliates the Most Holy Trinity, lowering it to the level of idols and demons with sacrilegious rituals of a neo-pagan religion.
It snatches the crown and scepter away from Christ the King in the name of Masonic Globalism; it offends the Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix in order not to annoy the heretics, Her enemies.
It betrays the duty of preaching the Gospel in the name of dialogue and tolerance. It silences and adulterates Sacred Scripture and the Commandments of God in order to please the spirit of the world.
It tampers with the sublime and inviolable words of the Prayer which the Lord Himself taught us. It profanes the holiness of the Priesthood, cancelling the spirit of penance and mortification in clergy and religious and abandoning them to the seductions of the devil.
It denies two thousand years of history, despising the glories of Christianity and the wise intervention of Divine Providence in earthly affairs.
It zealously follows fashions and idelogies rather then molding souls to follow Christ. It makes itself a slave of the Prince of this world in order to preserve its prestige and power.
It preaches the blasphemous cult of man and refuses the sovereign rights of God. And when Bergoglio speaks, the faithful are almost always scandalized and disoriented, because his words are the exact opposite of what they expect to hear from the Vicar of Christ.
He asks for obedience to his own authority even as he uses it to destroy the Papacy and the Church, contradicting all of his Predecessors, none excluded.
This is just a taste

Conversely:
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate;
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.

Also total space dominance in the form of satellites. Finally cyber dominance? FISA warrants in place because of Hunter Biden's laptop from hell among other reasons since Trump was elected, maybe?

Now does everyone see why I harped on my gantt chart and the calendar?
Because the most precious commodity is time.
There are also milestone dates written into law.
Milestone dates and time that are a brick walls we are fast approaching.
Some people are all, dates are meaningless they can just be blown off!!!
Well they can't and they won't be.
Will state legislatures come to the rescue?
I don't fucking know, probably not.
Trump and his team have 7 days until the 14th to get this shit in front of the SCOTUS or get a result from state legislatures, if they will take the cases and if the legislatures will comply.
Remember, Trump doesn't just need PA, he needs two other states.
After the 14th if Trump hasn't secured victory, the chances of him remaining President is a number approximating zero.
And that's the name of that tune.

I love a lot of the dark humor throughout, such as when The Bad leaves a note for them, saying "see you later, idiots!" Tuco can't read it, so he has Clint read it, Clint reads the word "idiots" and hands it to Tuco, saying "It's for you."

I played in a game that started catastrophically. Our pitcher couldn't find the strike zone, and when he did, he couldn't miss a bat, and then our fielders couldn't catch a ball, and when they did, they threw it away, as everybody was then tight, trying their best to record an out.
It was a nightmare. We came up in the bottom of the 1st, down 11-zip. But we didn't freak. Nobody bitched anybody out, no recriminations, no nothing. The other team was laughing and high-fiving each other, figuring they had this in the bag.
But ... we were the best team in the league. We played our game, and gradually chipped away at their lead. Our opponents were getting increasingly nervous, as the lead slipped through their fingers like sand, until in the 7th inning, we tied the score.
We went on to win the game.

I like it as the name for a carrier, though I admit it's partly for political reasons. First of all, President Trump is now the first US President to name a US carrier after a black man. Second, getting a carrier named after you is kind of the "big deal" right now. Only the most important people (and WW2 vets) get carriers named after them And now one is named after a cook.
I can see the Dems really wanting to change the name on the fourth carrier for both of those reasons. They won't want Trump to get the fame of being the first to name a carrier after a black man, and they'll want to name the carrier after one of their own prominent individuals. But they can't. Because that name is already issued. And if they dare to even *suggest* changing the name of CVN-81, then the black constituency will be ticked off.

Those states need to not certify by tomorrow.
We don't have until the 14th.
While there is lots of evidence and lots of court activity, the state legislature has to make the declaration of a certified slate or not.
For it to matter there have to be enough to change the outcome.
Let's see if they do that. If they don't say it isn't certified, it's certified.
And those slates of electors will vote in the EC. So the court is going to have to reverse certification and overturn the law requiring certification. But they have to be petitioned to do that they won't just do it on their own.

I think dive bombers did attempt to approach parallel to the ship to give them the full length to target, though I thought at Midway it was so sudden that they just pushed over when the could and went from there.

In the interests of fairness, I will note that Milk does meet one of the criteria I specified. He was a vet (specifically, Korean War, iirc). But that wasn't why his name was picked to adorn that ship.
Of course, the reason why his name was picked to adorn the ship probably doesn't match up very well with history, in any case, since his sexual orientation had nothing to do with why he was killed.

What happens if they just...don't respond? What happens if 8am comes and goes without an answer? I guess Trump wins by default, so I assume that won't happen.
I'm equally as curious to read PA's response to Alito as I am to see the Supreme's decision. They were told to answer Trump's challenge based on the evidence and it will be, I believe, the first time a court has actually given a judgment based on the evidence itself.

4 of her 8 kids can cook, and every single one cooks a better chicken then she ever did.

Speaking of that:
'Monster Hunter' Producers Apologize for Racist Scene After Film Was Pulled From Chinese Theaters
The "Monster Hunter" scene in question features rapper MC Jin (Jin
Au-Yeung) saying, "Look at my knees." "What kind of knees are these?"
his white male scene partner asks. "Chi-nese!" Jin's character responds,
emphasizing the "knees" pun.
=====
So, did they have to apologize for racism or a bad joke?

I used to do that in World of Warships. One flight off the side of the ship, and one off the stern. It was hard to get the timing right, but it pretty much guaranteed a hit if you pulled it off successfully. Turning into one group guarantee a hit from the other.
Real life, though, is a lot more messy.
And also, I haven't been back to World of Warships since they overhauled the carrier gameplay.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned Monday that indoor dining in New York City could be shut down again as soon as next week if COVID-19 hospitalization rates keep rising.
And he warned the shutdown would extend beyond just indoor dining if hospitals across the state ever approached crush loads again.
"Oh we don't want to do that again", Cuomo said, mocking the complaints. "Then change your behavior. But if we don't change our behavior, that is the absolute reality of the situation."

280 217 People giving up must never have played sports. Nothing like

I played in a game that started catastrophically. Our pitcher
couldn't find the strike zone, and when he did, he couldn't miss a bat,
and then our fielders couldn't catch a ball, and when they did, they
threw it away, as everybody was then tight, trying their best to record
an out.
It was a nightmare. We came up in the bottom of the 1st, down 11-zip.
But we didn't freak. Nobody bitched anybody out, no recriminations, no
nothing. The other team was laughing and high-fiving each other,
figuring they had this in the bag.
But ... we were the best team in the league. We played our game, and
gradually chipped away at their lead. Our opponents were getting
increasingly nervous, as the lead slipped through their fingers like
sand, until in the 7th inning, we tied the score.
We went on to win the game.
Did I ever tell you about the time our Men's League team came back to win despite being down 18 runs by the bottom of the 7th and final inning? Our Coach still has the scorebook somewhere...

=====
IIRC Swordfish from the Ark pulled it off against Bismarck, splitting AA fire and going in to get 2 hits. Germans whined about not being able to track the Stringbags properly, but that sounds like making excuses from not hitting low and slow planes skimming the waves.
The IJN pulled off the hammer and anvil strike a few times, although the Kates did have the speed, and until 1943 the skill for squadron cohesion to make successful techniques. I'd be willing to bet Avenger squadrons pulled it off a time or two but by that time in the war the IJN was getting smothered by USN squadrons so a few times the tactic might have been accidental as our boys swarmed 'em like killer bees.

I sent my brother information on how to recall elected officials in GA. It only takes the signatures of 15% of the electors from 2018 which is REALLY doable in a short time. 1/15 of the minimum signatures must come from each congressional district in the state and a separate petition must be filed for each official for whom recall is sought.
Any other Georgians interested in kicking those jackasses out of office?

The Dauntless's forward-firing guns were mainly used for strafing ground targets or slow movers like freighters after dropping the bombs first, and there weren't any fighters around to make things interesting. At Midway the Dauntless crews were glad enough to get their bombs dropped and get out of all the flak and away from the revenge-minded Zeroes. One Dauntless pilot though shot down a Zero in aerial combat with his forward guns.

The USN didn't have much luck with torpedo bombers even after they replaced the Devastators, and fixed the problems with the torpedoes. Off the top of my head, the battlecruiser Hiei is the only ship whose loss can be attributed to USN torpedo bombers (and that was after she'd already been mauled the previous night, in part by a freaking INSANE destroyer - USS Laffey).

We pushed back more with Newt Gingrich. They forced us to settle for (the honorable but tired) Bob Dole.
We pushed back more with the Tea Party. They foisted upon us Willard Mitt.
We said no more and forced them to take Donald Trump.
And for four years they have fought him (and, by extension, us) every step of the way. Now they have gone along willingly with an attempt to steal our election.
Trump was only ever just a vessel of our demand to have our voice heard.
So for everyone saying "I'll quit if Trump quits" let me just say "I won't quit then either."
