Quote II “CPAC is proud to host Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The fight against socialism is a global one,” American Conservative Union (ACU) Chairman Matt Schlapp
Quote III Congressman Cleaver has been a deep disappointment — relentlessly partisan and AWOL on the issues that matter most to his constituents. When Josh took on the scumbag absentee landlords in Kansas City preying on the most vulnerable, Cleaver wouldn’t lift a finger to help despite repeated outreach. But he’s happy to hobnob with Washington lobbyists.” Spokesperson Abigail Marone
Quote IV "This is really, really stupid. His vision for an amendment allows for abuse that would effectively remove all limitation from the federal government. He’s even got a special carve out for thought crime,"musician Phil Labonte
Quote V Mitt Romney is like a hemorrhoid: easily forgotten when it stays in it's place, infinitely irritating when it decides to make it's presence felt.Matthew Noto
The US keeps printing money. Sooner or later math will hit the fan. Will the USA look like this?
In Sri Lanka right now, before you've woken up, you're losing. Power cuts that run late into the sweltering nights steal hours of sleep as the fans cease; whole families waking up sapped from the months-long trial of shuffling their lives around daily blackouts after the country went bankrupt and essentially ran out of fuel. There are long days to be lived; work days, errands to be run, daily essentials to be bought at twice the price they had been last month.
You mean American prisons are kinder and gentler? Boo-fucking-hoo.
Women’s basketball star Brittney Griner is living a life of privation, according to the brother of an American imprisoned in a Russian jail. On Thursday, the former Olympian and Phoenix Mercury center pleaded guilty to the drug possession and smuggling charges against her. “I’d like to plead guilty, your honor. But there was no intent. I didn’t want to break the law,” Griner said, according to Reuters. “I’d like to give my testimony later. I need time to prepare.”A rightwing anti-doping dog put those hashish laden vaping pens in my luggage your Honor.
Most school boards consist of a good old boys/girls club. And how dare you rankle their feathers. Loudoun County School Board didn't do so well in court.
The Loudoun County School Board has just lost their bid in court to shut down the grand jury investigation into their mishandling of a sexual assault of two different students at two different high schools by a 15-year-old. The judge felt that the leftist school board had not proven their argument that they would suffer irreparable harm because of the investigation:The only ones who suffered irreparable harm are the young ladies they allowed to be raped while they were practicing their virtue signaling.
The Future WHO (World Health Organization)
"The alarming amendments offered by the Biden Administration to the WHO's International Health Regulations would grant new unilateral authority to [WHO] Director-General Tedros to declare a public health crisis in the United States or other sovereign nations, without any consultation with the U.S. or any other WHO member. Specifically, the Biden Amendment would strike the current regulation that requires the WHO to 'consult with and attempt to obtain verification from the State Party in whose territory the event is allegedly occurring in,' ceding the United States' ability to declare and respond to an infectious disease outbreak within the United States, dependent on the judgment of a corrupt and complicit UN bureaucracy." — Rep. Chris Smith, ranking member of the House Global Health Subcommittee, May 18, 2022.

A very nice paper in Management Science by Kini, Shen, Shenoy and Subramanian finds that labor unions reduce product quality. Two strengths of the paper. First, the authors have relatively objective measures of product quality from thousands of product recalls mandated by the FDA, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covering many different industries. Second the authors use 3 different methods. First, they find that unionized firms are more likely to have recalls than non-unionized firms (a simple difference in means subject to many potential cofounds but I still like to see the raw data), second they find that in a panel model with industry and year fixed effects and other controls that firms which are more unionized have a greater frequency of product recalls. Finally they find that firms where the union just barely won the vote are more likely to have subsequent product recalls than firms for which the union just barely lost the vote–a regression discontinuity study.
LOS ANGELES — A week ahead of Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium, the union representing concession workers at the ballpark announced today it has authorized a strike that “could be called at any moment.” Maria Hernandez, a spokeswoman for the Unite Here Local 11 union, said in a statement that stadium food and beverage workers voted by a 99% margin Sunday to authorize a walkout.

Actually talented employees hate the union because it prevents them from getting paid what they are actually worth - because their pay is locked to the union rate the company literally CANNOT pay them more, no matter how much better their performance than others.
Meanwhile the union spends 90% of its time fighting to keep the absolute bottom of the barrel trash from getting fired for cause.

Important safety tip: When you go to another jurisdiction, do some research on the laws of that jurisdiction, especially for things your home jurisdiction is lenient on or ignores. There will usually be signs like "importation of drugs into this country is illegal"
Also, if you possess something that may cause you trouble in another jurisdiction, make sure that you only ever put that into a specific bag.

I imagine he's too stupid to even be aware of the "positive rights/negative rights" debate of the 30's. (And using positive/negative is unfortunate framing, but that's the terms that were used so we're stuck with it) Put very briefly, the Bill of Rights is a list of "negative rights" - these are restrictions on government, things that they Government may NOT do. For nearly 100 years, leftists have longed for a "bill of positive rights", things that the Government MUST do. Left unsaid is that requiring Govm't to do those things necessitates giving the government absolute power over everyone and every thing so that it can do them.
And that's more thought and analysis than Michael Moore ever put into his own idiot amendment.

Re: teachers, the problem there is that "union scale" is terrible for STEM types with valuable technical skills but really fantastic for non-STEM humanities types whose only other viable job prospect is flipping burgers.

If the usual types of deodorants give you rashes or you're worried about the amount of aluminum in most anti-perspirants, you may want to try what are called crystal or rock crystal deodorants. Deodorant only, not an anti-perspirant.
Some info:
Crystal deodorant is a type of alternative deodorant made of natural mineral salt called potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties.
Potassium alum has been used as a deodorant in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years. Crystal deodorant has become more popular in Western cultures in the last 30 years.
Also, it is inexpensive.

If I had a $1 for every time was reprimanded.
I had one boss that just used to stop by my apartment on his way into work and beat on my door until I woke up in on Saturdays because he knew I was probably passed out drunk and wouldn't be on time.
After about 2 months of that, he eventually started bringing coffee a and biscuit for me, but still talked to me like a dog.
He cussed me out in front of my customers, but I just laughed, because I deserved it. It was a mutual understanding, I sucked at working Saturday mornings and we both understood I deserved a good cussing.

If the usual types of deodorants give you rashes or you're worried about the amount of aluminum in most anti-perspirants, you may want to try what are called crystal or rock crystal deodorants. Deodorant only, not an anti-perspirant.
Some info:
Crystal deodorant is a type of alternative deodorant made of natural mineral salt called potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties.
----
As a Chemist I had to laugh. If you're worried about the amount of aluminum in OTC antiperspirants, why would you switch to an acidic crystal of pure aluminum salt? Great styptic by the way. Used a lot in earlier days by Dads everywhere after shaving.

Pro Tip #2: Making your nation-state's ability to meet basic needs dependent on a rival/enemy state, then ramrodding a war with that state, is a really, really stupid idea.

I agree, I think our win is now inevitable. But everyone should be aware, so they won't be surprised when it happens - we are voting so that we have our people in positions of power when the rebuilding starts. It is now far, far too late to avoid the collapse; this ship has already hit the iceberg, and as Yon says, we have at least two years (probably more) of worldwide famine and economic depression to go through no matter what we do right now, or in November. It's just too late to make any significant course corrections now, and the only way out is through.
I do hope we can avoid another world war, but that's going to be mainly up to luck and Providence.

It was a good side hustle in Indy metro.
1) the notion that fast food work entitles the worker to a middle middle class lifestyle is "funny" and was never part of the business model.
2) I said 3 to 700, 3 was a bad week 700 plus a bout 300 in wage last I checked was closer to 50 thou a year.
Again, I have done it as a side hustle and made enough money to furnish our house in Indiana.

But don't underestimate the importance of benefits. Having health insurance and money paid into a pension fund matters, and isn't cheap. When I would sign my yearly contract, it would list three items, the salary, the cost of medical insurance, and the amount of money paid into the pension fund for that year. Then the 3 were totaled, so that you saw what your true compensation was.
I have friends and relatives who are public school teachers, they get raises every year and their income grows past that early starting salary pretty fast.

Thats exactly why I called my brother, because of all the weird shit I'm seeing in the tanks of these new toilets these days. I wanted to know how they hold up. Aqua piston this, class 5 flush that, canister flush this, etc. I'm pulling out nice old mint 3.5 gallon flush elongated bowl toilets because none of them are a sane frigging color.

Nope, didn't miss that. I use the stuff because several years ago the stuff I'd used for years, and everything else on the drug store shelves, began giving me a severe underarm rash. A dermatologist suggested the mineral crystal stuff. I included the concern about aluminum in the traditional stuff because some people are concerned about a lot of aluminum combined with the other typical ingredients. Karen-types, I guess.

Crystal deodorant is a type of alternative deodorant made of natural mineral salt called potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties.

One more thing: I very much doubt that the stuff available is actually that found 'naturally' and is most likely made in a factory. I hate that word 'natural'. Hey idiots just because it's natural doesn't make it good or safe. A cobra is natural, so is beryllium, arsenic, deadly nightshade, and so on, and those can all kill you very easily.

Got an LG fridge/freezer here, going four years strong, so far. Bottom, pull out freezer, with a separate "top shelf", so it's divided into an upper and lower section. Side by Side doors, but they open to reveal a full-width interior, vs. a "side-by-side" divided compartments.
Spoke with some repair folks before buying. LG's appliances have far more robust metal moving parts (ice augur, for example), than the Samsung models, which have very few metal parts in critical areas.
So far, the only LG part in the kitchen suite that's failed, was one power burner control on the stove. Bought the $35 part from eBay, was about a 20 minute job to swap it out.

Agreed. I copied that stuff from a crystal deodorant company's website, because I use the stuff but can't remember what it is. My bad.
Speaking of 'natural' ingredients, you must really hate this info on some food and drink items: Made with natural flavorings. I've always wondered what the hell that meant, exactly.

It was the behind the tie part of a rather nice tie-clip.
I doubt one in ten cops would discover it in an initial search. Check-in at the jail *might* find it, if they're particularly observant. But either way, into the gallon ziploc bag it'd go. Once the mook "goes orange", nothing he/she brought through the Sally Port should make it down the hall and into the cells.

I teased the author--"was the verdict read before the case was made?" He's a Christian, so, he leaned into it. Anyway, it's some mental exercise. He owes me (several) beers at the Boatyard in Annapolis. He's also a USNA graduate, so while he's showing me around, I'll get a chance to steal Pochhammer's memoirs from the Academy library.

I presume he was arrested. He was known to be the perp. No mystery there. Perp is listed as "from Calgary" but has family here. He was arrested. Dirt bike was stolen. Charged with theft, hit and run, and driving while prohibited. Released on recognizance; due in court Aug. 19.

Do you put the eggs in little cups, tap off the first third and then dip toast points into the yolk?
No.
Boil, eggs in, cover, five minutes. Promptly pull them out. Two in the tureen, one in the egg-cup. Top the one, salt and pepper, indulge. Repeat, repeat. I don't mind eating shell. I have toasted rosemary bread with salmon cream cheese after.
Then, meditation. Then, a hot shave.Wait....I hate eating with a dirty mouth. while the eggs are cooling just a bit, shower up real quick and salt-brush the teeth. Air dry. Then eat.

Glasstop electric, it's easy to moderate the heat, even if "low" ain't low enough. Just slide the pot halfway or more off the offending burner, and you're regulating the number of heated square inches, and not just the straight up BTU of that particular burner.
Gas is easier to turn down to almost uselessly low heat levels. Electric glasstop is easier to clean-up.
Old fashioned electric coils are ob de debbil doh, and do not belong in a modern kitchen.
It's up to the cook to learn the nuances of the cooker in question, and to adapt his/her game to the new rules on the field. "Guest Cook" at someone else's house, and you'll learn this in short order, or you'll fail.

Man, no shit. Electric ovens are great for baking. I went with a duel fuel this time so Mrs B can continue with her baking excellence with the electric oven, but I wanted the gas on the burners.

Well the river was in high flood condition, way over its normal level. Morrin bridge was crowded with gawkers. Semi truck with fuel tanker came down the hill on the west side, fast. Driver knew he could not stop, and would kill several people if he went onto the bridge. So he took the ditch, and went right on into the river, never to be seen again. Driver was a hero, but he paid with his life. I am guessing the rig was carried a number of miles downstream, came to rest somewhere, and then current scour opened up a hole on the downstream side, and the rig tumbled in, and was subsequently buried. A magnetometer survey might locate it. i don't know if it has ever been attempted.

Dad was on a pureed diet before he died because he had trouble with swallowing and would get pneumonia from aspirating food. It took a lot of joy out of his life.
I make fruit and yogurt smoothies for breakfast, I have since I broke my shoulder and needed fiber for the pain meds, calcium for the bone healing, and energy because it hurt too much to cook and I lost a lot of money rebuilding bone.
It is also watermelon season so I am running watermelon chunks through my blender to juice it which I like better than eating watermelon.

Yep, that's the way.
Also with a freshly laid egg, Mum would make a smallish hole at one end and I got to suck a raw egg almost every morning from toddler till about 4. The owner of the 4-apartment building was also present at my at-home birth and had a thing for the baby and also had chickens. She brought an egg every morning. Now the incentive for me was that when the eggshell was empty, it got filled about a quarter way with sweet Marsala. Yes, boozing so young. It put hairs on my chest.

Exactly. Classic Griswald cast iron works fine. Modern Lodge brand sucks bawls. But can be fixed.
Take any cast iron pot or pan to a machine shop, and have 'em "surface" the bottom. Yeah, you might lose some vintage stampings, but that pot'll now work like a champ on your glass.
One warning though. Don't "drag" your cast iron on the glass, you'll scratch the glass. Lift it up, set it down. Don't slide it. And yes, cast iron IS the superior cooking implement.

There were similar cast iron pots with handles for cooking over an open fire here, too. Made all day stews and the like in them. But not too many fireplaces today have the room or equipment in them for hanging a cooking pot like that. Also, when the fireplace was the main source of heating in a hovel, an all day fire was often a necessity.

Well in Rome (1954-56) we had a brand new cooker, wood fired, that in winter was used for stove-top cooking, oven and had a built-in container for hot water. It also warmed up the kitchen where we lived. The bedrooms were cold and only used for sleeping. In summer we used a small table-top gas burner with two rings. It snowed in Rome winter of 55. Unusual. That was the first snow that I can remember. Butter was kept ice-cold on the windowsill.

The only place here in 'youngun' America that I've seen that had real fireplaces for cooking was in Williamsburg VA's Historic District. My Grandma had a wood-burning cast iron stove. It had about a two-inch deep double-eyelet griddle (which I now proudly own) with a lip that fitted down into the stove and made the best damn pancakes. I still make pancakes on it (over two gas burners) but, alas, they aren't Grandma's in taste. My Mom warned me I'd better use that griddle for cooking and not make a wall hanging out of it or she'd take it back. Also good for sausage and peppers and onions, with sausage on one end and peppers and onions on the other.

This new stove down here in Miley's house is a glass top, with infrared elements. That thing is damned impressive in heat-up time.
It amazed me the first time I used this big old "soup pot" of my mother's. On her stove, there are hot spots on the elements. This would necessitate watchin and stirring something, and even using low heat.
I found those infrared elements could heat a batch of soup ingredients wide ass open uniformly. No hot spots, although one still needed to stir to keep the temp equalized.

Must be. I'm fer the equitable distribution of heat in a pot.
That cut-off corn is another that needs to be stirred. And I found I couldn't heat it wide open either. It'll start sticking before you know it, some varieties of corn worse than others. Can't get over medium, and even then stir, stir. Lower and you don't have to stir so much, but it takes a long time. Once it gets hot enough, you can increase the heat a little to get it on up to simmering temp. Don't know exactly know the chemistry afoot there.

If mama needed some firewood, and they had failed to keep the box filled, they were in trouble. Both of 'em recount getting a whuppin' for that.
My mother recounts how their stove had a water heater vessel as well. Hot water always available with one of those. Also "warmer drawers", little compartments to keep food warm. There were not in the full heat zone, so off to the side or something.

I think it was assembled up there piece by piece, built on the job so to speak. Its the only way. The nearest I can gather is it was no newer than early 1920's. It was right at the time the challenger exploded, I mean during that job. The women who owned the house lived downstairs, her sister up stairs. They were born and grew up in that house, and were in their mid- upper 60's, and that stove was always there, so it couldn't have been any newer than 1920 or so. It looked older, it had the curved legs.

My maternal grandmother was born somewhere in the mid 1890s. She told the story of their family moving one time, when she was a little girl.
They carried their fire with them. Hot coals in a big pot on the wagon. This was for the kitchen stove.
Maintaining that fire was very important. Like life or death important. If you let your fire go out, you could be in some trouble.

There was also a 48" "European" shower that would not fit up the stairs, no way no how. The room was getting a big anderson window, so we waiting until we framed for the new window and hoisted the shower up to the second floor and brought it in that way. The plumber checked it out and there was a defect where the drain connected. Oh joy, back out through the window opening, and we had to plywood up the big hole for 2 frigging weeks while a new one was shipped.

Thats what I have now, the problem is the cooktop is right next to the wall oven cab, so you can't turn the handles of the pots on that side without hitting the cab. Bad design. Its the single reason I'm redoing the kitchen. The wall oven is slowly dying and nooo way am I pissing away 3k for a new one to sit it in a bad design. The cabs are real nice custom quakermaid, but they're dark. If it didn't have the damn wall oven I would have the cabs sprayed, and did new granite tops and floor, but noooooo asshole had to put in a wall oven where it should have never gotten one.

I remember the stories about how it was in the Old Days of the wood kitchen stoves.
The myns worked in the fields. Sunup to sundown. And I mean worked. Real worked. The womyns did the cooking and washin' and stuff. And they worked too, all damn day long doing that.
Up before sunup cooking breakfast. Then midday cooking dinner. Then midafternoon cooking supper. And doing the other chores all the while.
I'm just thinking of some of our modern "grrrl power" types trying to do that.

I have my dad's, bought used sometime in the early '60s. Similar in appearance but with a cylindrical gas tank. I had the leather o-rings replaced with new neoprene or rubber or whatever they use now, but otherwise, it works like a dream. It looks a bit more used than those models. Probably because it has been.

It looked exactly like that one. I'm pretty sure it was old. The oldest guy involved with the troop was damn near 70, and he was the dude that had a lot of the big gear. Big army tents, stoves, the old coleman lanterns with the wicks that shattered if you knocked them over, ropes, all kinds of shit. He was an old military dude. Definitely WWII vet, probably started in WWI for all you know. He was like the quartermaster from hell. I'm pretty sure those stoves were older than me at the time. lol

Funny incident back the mid '80s. My paternal grandmother was in the nursing home. Every year, early Dec., we'd have a family get together thing at the church, having a big dinner in the "fellowship building". We'd bring my grandmother too.
After we'd all eaten, everyone was sitting around, telling stories. My father and his brothers were sitting around, telling how hard they worked, and how us young-un's didn't know what work was. We'd been spoiled, and wouldn't last a day doing what they used to all day long. (And they were right, really).

So, my father pipes up during that conversation, and tells about his first patch of cotton. When he was a young man, 'bout young Publius' age, a little older (call him 20 or so), he planted him a 5 acre patch of cotton.
And he told how he plowed that cotton. And hoed it. He hoed a 5 acre patch of cotton, all by himself.
"Yep, yep, yep" all the brothers went. Nodding. Now my grandmother was sitting around in that bunch. She didn't seem like she was paying much attention, sort of staring off into space, but she spoke up.

I'm saying that the dude practically came with the building. He was probably an original member for all I knew. He was a lifer. He could have been William Boyce's (BSA founder) piss boy for all I know, and just stayed involved. As I said before, our troop was fucking nuts. They trained us like it was the military. Mountain climbing, repelling, survival trips, building monkey bridges over rivers, 70 mile kayak trips, snow shoe this, cross country ski that, etc. No crossing granny in the cross roads shit, nooo we go to Mt washington and repel down cliffs. That old dude was like those old British generals you see with the red uniforms and safari helmets.

My grandmother then told about Daddy's first patch of cotton. Yep, it was a 5 acre patch. But he had a lot of help with that. Her, my granddaddy, and some of the field hands. She recounted how she herself hoed some of his cotton.
I remember the look on my father's face. He couldn't say anything, 'cause that was his momma, correctin' him.
Later on, he told me, "Now, your grandmother just doesn't remember right -- I did hoe that cotton my ownself". I said, "Uh huh, I'm sure you did." He gave me a look.

Both my grandmothers, in their hay day, were capable of a whipping up a meal for 5 or 6 people, from scratch pretty much, given short notice.
I can remember my paternal grandmother, as a little boy, making biscuits. She'd do that all day. Biscuits for breakfast, dinner, and supper.
Around here, in the old days, "dinner" was the noon meal. It was the biggest. Supper was the evening meal, not as big.

I'll tell you another funny one about my father and his mother. After my father broke his hip, oh when was that? -- I can't remember for sure, when he got back home, he was in need of assistance. With basic hygiene concerns, I'll say.
His mind hadn't slipped as much then. Having to have me help with that stuff, well, that was really too much. He's always been a very independent type, and having me having to do that just killed him.
He had a bad accident one night, and I had to some disgusting cleanup. Again, his mind was still there enough to be very embarrassed. He said, "Well, hell, I used to have to change your diapers, so I guess it's payback time". Or something like that. [cont]

Now, when he said that, my mother was close by, and I saw a look on her face. A mean, mad look. You don't see those too much on my mother's face, so it was noteworthy.
She came up and whispered in my ear, "He didn't change one diaper of yours! Wouldn't even help!" She was sort of steaming, you might say.
She related a funny story. When I was a little baby, one night she had to go somewhere for a few hours. Something important. So, she had to leave me with my father. She was worried about, you know, diaper changing and stuff. She went through the procedures. He assured her "Woman, I know what I'm doin'!" and shit like that.
Well she got home, not knowing what kind of mess she might find, and there she found me, little baby, with a perfectly changed, perfectly pinned, etc, diaper.

When our first was a little baby my wife went to choir practice and I was at my parents' house with Baby. When it was time to do the big job I started in but the smell and sight made me want to puke so my Dad took over. I never was asked to change a diaper again even when the second was born.

It looks as though he'll be the only kitten for a while. Chekov's breeder has some cute kittens on her Facebook page. I've written to ask if she could put my name down for one in particular. No reply, and the next day a note appeared on that kitten's pic, "Not available." This from the lady who told me I would get first pick of the late March litter after Chekov passed away. So far, no communication. I guess she doesn't want to sell me a kitten.

I guess they didn't want to overshadow 'Pride Month' - but did anyone else notice the lack of 'Grim Milestone' headlines when the national death toll from covid went over the million mark?
If Trump was still in office the left would be working on his third, maybe fourth impeachment by now.
Biden in office? *crickets*

Just like there are no headlines about the sudden surge in young adult deaths, not related to fentanyl or Chicago.

No, I don't mind, Ciampino. Stirling is a shelter kitten. It's just that I like a certain look to a kitten/cat, the long- or at least medium-haired type. This lack of communications is bothersome in that I've known this lady for some years. Chekov's aunt Tatiana and Chekov himself both came from her cattery. I've been to her home and have seen how well the kittens and cats are treated -- it's no mill.
It's just that, if someone tells me, "You get first pick," and then ignores my communication about that, it's damned disturbing.

In a fentanyl story, I just read on the wife's FB page how some young woman picked up a stray dollar bill in a parking lot. She put it in her pocket, washed her hands, then used some hand sanitizer.
Then went into convulsions. She survived, barely. The bill was laced with fentanyl.

Convulsions are not typical of fentanyl OD so I would be sceptical of that one incident but there's a new analog that's about 100x more potent. I can see some crazy mass killers doing that with money.

What would be a typical career in a fast food company?
Store manager - area manager - regional manager?

Could be. It depends if the store is a corporate owned one or if the shop is owned by the franchisee.

It’s to the point that job fairs (which feature zero hiring and are a waste of time) are now increasingly called “career fairs”, which, given they fact that absolutely no hiring takes place at them, is utterly risible.

Well, if shutdowns, vaccines that don't work, and getting rolled and persecuted a hundred times over by people confused by the contents of their own underwear are Trump's "accomplishments", then no, not a fan.
Low gas prices and sticking it to the libs on Twitter is hardly enough.
Trump was/is a cultural phenomenon. Let's stop with the Cult of Personality stuff, already. That's how the left behaves.
Trump could have nominated 1,000 people for Supreme Court: they still have to be confirmed by the Senate. Mitch got them through despite being the minority party.
No fan of Mitch, either, btw, but give credit where it is due.
