Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer RevivalHe may not know how to eat French Toast properly. But CBD certainly does deserve a H/T for this morning's mug. Holy Crap, December 2nd. Only 22 shopping days left until Christmas. Before you go shopping today, just a few friendly reminders. (Rulz for those of you in Slab City, WI) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate. 2) Play nicely with others. 3) Placing a cut body part into the snow bank will ease the pain. D) Have a nice weekend. Thanks to Annie for sharing today's Prayer Revival with us.

A long-term canned food storage anecdote: I made chicken & rice casserole yesterday with a can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup that was dated 2018. All is well gastronomically. It looked and smelled and tasted fine upon opening and cooked up similar to a fresher can. Posted by: Count de Monet at December 02, 2023 08:50 AM (4I/2K) 8

Only 22 shoplifting days until Christmas. Was watching the news yesterday about some proposed 'anti-ski mask' legislation in Philly. The video they showed was all of these youths, in the process of turning their lives around, breaking into a store with masks on. A little later they showed the youths exiting the store with flat screen televisions. One of the exceptions the proposed legislation would allow is wearing a ski mask for a religious event. ???

The rain has stopped, or maybe just has a truce with the city. I need to leave in about half an hour for haircut, library, and then whip around to pick up an Rx at the CVS in Target. And a new Tracfone card for more minutes.
Miss Linda wants to go to an open-house, or maybe it should be called "open-store," event in the uptown area tonight. This means crowds, difficult parking, and walking a couple of miles up and down to watch her sip some wine and eat cheese. I never want to buy anything at those $$$ stores. Maybe it'll rain again and the thing will get postponed. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 02, 2023 08:58 AM (omVj0) 24

Posted by: grammie winger - I don't belong here at December 02, 2023 08:56 AM (45fpk) --- This is the first Christmas when all the kids are adults. At the same time, our grandkids are now staying with us, so there's some excitement there. Combine that with tight finances, and we're going to be focusing on "nominal" Christmas presents, small gifts that excite and amuse rather than anything lavish. There is always some tension over this as my wife wants to "go big," but this year it's just not possible. I'm using this to remind the family that Christmas is about God, not stuff. They seem quite receptive. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at December 02, 2023 09:00 AM (llXky) 31

That seems to have been cured by the pandemic. Middle kid was stuck in training from early November to late July, missing just about every holiday and birthday (including her own) and becoming terribly homesick.

NY Times: Is Shoplifting Really Surging? Claims the U.S. is in a retail theft wave are exaggerated. Events in New York tend to receive outsize scrutiny...
Videos of extreme but rare crimes can go viral today...As a result, people can always find outlandish anecdotes, even if crime is down. Conservative media has promoted these videos as evidence of disorder in liberal cities and under President Biden. Retailers have an interest in spreading the shoplifting narrative because it can suggest that disappointing profits are beyond their control. Inflation may play a role, too. Even if retail theft is not up, retailers might care more about it now. The rise in murder, car theft and some other crimes makes shoplifting seem like part of a larger story even if it isn’t in most cities. Its the spectacular nature of recent theft that has spiked perceptions of a surge. Organized Shoplifting, where groups go into a store and steal together while wearing hoodies and covid masks are usually caught on security cameras. There's also PTSD from the organized theft rings that exploited the George Floyd protests. That absolutely outraged the bourgeoisie.

Posted by: Nikki Haley's verified online persona at December 02, 2023 09:09 AM (+zy2u) There are a lot of if's still remaining here. First, Washington is still undefeated, along with Michigan and Florida State. Florida State plays Louisville in the ACC championship with a question at QB. If they stay undefeated and Michican beats Iowa, 3 spots of the 4 are filled. You're leaving the final spot open to some committee that relys on a f*cking spreadsheet to make the decision. But overall, yes, it's pretty f*cked up. However, Georgia, who's only lost one game, if they even do, in 2 YEARS, should still be in. Just my opinion.

You're leaving the final spot open to some committee that relys on a f*cking spreadsheet to make the decision.
But overall, yes, it's pretty f*cked up. - Yep. OSU and Texas move into the spot vacated by Oregon. Maybe. It's entirely possible they pull and OSU and just swap places, moving OSU to 5 and Oregon to 6. Meanwhile not a single team in the top ten other than maybe Georgia could make it undefeated through the SEC West, and Alabama did it with one of the most unpolished teams Saban has had in years. Heck, Oregon's Heisman candidate Bo Nix left the SEC because of it. Posted by: Nikki Haley's verified online persona at December 02, 2023 09:21 AM (+zy2u) 87

Mornin' Horde. Prayers for all of us and our loved ones...
I have a couple of blessings to share from this week. The HVAC at the house I just bought is 23 years old. It worked great for the home inspector, but pretty much as soon as I acquired the keys, would run intermittently but could not hold the set temp. I called the # on the unit, lo and behold, the same guy who installed it 23 years ago came out to inspect and then service it. He got it chugging along nicely and thinks we can get a bit more life out of it. We donated Mom's car this week as I do not think she has much, if any, driving in her future, and insuring/maintaining an unused car is not financially reasonable for us. She didn't take it as hard as I thought. OTOH, tomorrow should have been Jesse's and my 2nd wedding anniversary and I'm feeling down about that.

That's what bothers me the most. They are doing the Clinton Defense. You have no proof. Okay, you have proof, but not enough. Okay lots of proof, but everyone does it. You can't tie it directly to the boss. Note how they always put it in very Clintonesque terms: "We have seen no evidence..." which isn't a denial, just a statement that you haven't caught us yet. It's grotesque. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at December 02, 2023 09:54 AM (llXky) 157

I haven't kept up lately but Michigan's problem seems to be crossing the line into in-person recording.
Posted by: Nikki Haley at December 02, 2023 09:48 AM (+zy2u) --- Bingo. When the rule was put in place in 1994, everyone was happy. The big schools no longer had to waste money in an endless arms race to scout and the small schools got a break. Countless coaches have gone on the record talking about how awful it was. What Michigan did was a clear, unambiguous breach of those rules, and they did it to gain a competitive advantage. They didn't just have signals, they had all of them, and the playbooks as well. Remember that a Marine officer ran this op - he had real-time intel that allowed his team to get the play when the opponents did. If I know every single one of your moves in real time, I have a huge advantage. Where this gets interesting is whether people involved profited from it. If boosters were running this, they could be expected to profit from the results. It's basically fixing college football. Oh, and speaking of corrupt players, Blake Corum seems to be a business partner in multiple enterprises with the ringleader. A lot of stuff going on. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Anonymity on the web has been both good, and bad. It has loosened some tongues that probably shouldn't have been.
Whether discourse in America would be better if anonymity was removed from online discussions is debatable, but what isn't debatable is that some people hiding behind a persona that's totally fake hasn't helped one bit.

In the background I heard a racket of perhaps kids playing. She asked me a couple of questions but the meat of what she wanted was my Social Security number. I am one of the individuals suing the BSA and I suppose after reading my claim they know I'll be receiving a payout. But I did not trust her and asked her to read part of my narrative, which she did. Long story short I did not give her my ss#. But I wonder about this work from home crap where people don't have a quiet room to work from.

Posted by: Hunter Biden at December 02, 2023 10:14 AM (Zz0t1) --- That's how it played out. The NCAA's purview is limited to student athletes, and Sandusky did not target them. I think the other issue was that they violated their own procedures. This time they seem to be very carefully following them...to a point. Normally the NCAA collects evidence and then files a notice against the university, which responds. This takes forever. Now, however, the NCAA is turning over evidence to the University (and the Big Ten) because the allegations cut to the core of competition. The University has done a 180 as a result, going from threatening lawsuits to meek statements about letting the investigation play out. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

I have studied the era extensively, the SMU sanctions and jettisoned scholarships led to a total exodus of staff. To imply that Texas, Texas Tech, and UH were somehow "less dirty" is willful blindness. Sherwood Blount did not invent the booster pay scheme he just "perfected it." The Death Penalty was the NCAA stroking itself to get hard and then once thrust understanding it was a literal nuclear bomb. They decided behind closed doors to never use it again and consequently counter-intuitively the stricter rules de jure led to their being no rules or no sanely and evenly applied rules defacto. What killed SMU's ability to compete and recover in part was a faculty action by a nut named Lonnie Kliever the SMU faculty rep who was an anti-football religious studies prof who said "listen what this school REALLY needs is another 4 years off for bad behavior!" That said it was a perfect storm of arrogance, idiocy, overreach, and stupid that will not be allowed to happen again. Posted by: sven at December 02, 2023 10:24 AM (X0I7i) 221

Haleys demand for digital ID has nothing to do with concerns for that sort of thing, though.
It was announced immediately after her WEF and UN friends announced their 50 in 5 plan. 50 countries will have digital ID in 5 years. Haley is very pro WEF and globalism. She was just going on record. Posted by: Nikki Haley at December 02, 2023 10:32 AM (qs1Py) 233
So let me get this straight. You take a small rural college town that would ordinarily have ~20,000 people in it on any given Saturday. Then five Saturdays a year 100,000 people show up with RVs, generators, tent canopies, large flat screen TVs, food and hooch and besiege the place.

It's going to be hilarious when 8 or 9 of the 12 team playoff spots are SEC teams.
Posted by: Nikki Haley at December 02, 2023 10:27 AM (qs1Py) I thought at first that that would be a possibility but I am not thinking that anymore. One, as we have seen the last two years, the transfer portal and NIL money have broadened the parity at the top of College football. A lot of traditional powers have plenty of money. So the rich get richer but not just the very top programs. Second, with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, it is going to be really hard to get out of SEC play without at least one loss. I do think that we will always have the two SEC Championship contenders in the 12, probably one more, and occasionally two additionally.

"2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." Thank you for this verse, Annie's. Stew. It helps make sense of the list of prayers needed. God, in your mercy and grace, help all of us calling out to you for healing, help, wisdom and whatever it is we need to get through this life, and help us to glorify you in doing so. There is so much pain, Lord, and we need your rest. In your son, our saviour's name we pray, Amen. Posted by: Moki at December 02, 2023 10:34 AM (N43JC) 236
I can say from seeing them play, with a view from the skyboxes of the Astrodome, that no team in the South West Conference and many others could not match or stop the offensive elegance of SMU in their prime.

Yeah well the notion that a "faculty rep" would have the power to do to other schools what was done to SMU got solved quick.

Several sources are reporting that there is a really ugly reason why the hostage talks between Israel and Gaza broke down and the war resumed.
The agreement was that only women and children would be exchanged. Basically all the children and elderly women held by Hamas were exchanged, leaving only the young women as Hamas hostages, and Hamas said: "Well, it's time to start exchanging elderly men." Hamas has no intention of exchanging the young Israeli women held as hostages. One guess why. Posted by: The ARC of History! at December 02, 2023 10:45 AM (YAtuc) 249

Time for another reheated mug of Tim Horton's coffee. I don't usually buy it, but it seemed like the least worst option at my local grocery, which has a limited selection.

Skip, many of them still have their relatives in captivity , so the they are not disclosing everything. And not just relatives. Threatened of course that they will torture and kill whoever remains if they talk.

I'm thinking deer heart and eggs over-easy with some home fries. Some fresh (green), sustainable coffee and free-range toast to get my blood pumping for this second round of the FCS.

Recently retired from Target and I’m no fan of their corporate guidance from the last 15 years. Ace’s link to X-user @LarryDJonesJr who shows a “SuperFat” protester with a large crowd behind her though is pretty clearly an AI generated fake. Scan the crowd and you’ll see composited faces (pinched to grotesque visage, many of the faces have warps or folds on them) and the lead protester holds a sign with both hands as a megaphone is oddly suspended in mid-air at her mouth. All the signage is unreadable and the script on them is crooked (I was in charge of superintending that type signage and the lettering was always clear and balanced in the frame. Poster Mr Jones is careful to not even name the store as a Target store in his post. Anyway, it’s clearly a fake photo. The sad truth about Target’s modern corporate governance doesn’t need any fakery to be exposed as reprehensible. They’ve got a long track record of fealty to progressivism already.

Alberta Oil Peon: yeah, I don’t post much at all and I didn’t know how to reference that side bar story other than this thread. And, yes, I probably didn’t get that Ace was posting it as satire. I should know to give him more credit than that. He’s my daily go to for commentary. My bad.

Saturday, before noon...
you won't find Ace here. Check the local ER for patients having stuff removed from their colon. Much better odds that way. Posted by: garrett at December 02, 2023 11:44 AM (F6Raq) 325

G’rump928(c): you caught my intent. I think it was Michael Crichton in the preface to his climate change critique novel who mentioned that so many falsehoods go past us in the news that we don’t catch until one of them relates to our expertise and we see how lazy “the press” is. But, I did fail to note the satire and that’s on me. This IS the best place on the webs, for sure.

There are German and French "provincial" recipes for pickled or brined beef heart. I've tried for years (well, off and on) to match up a spelling to how my mother pronounced it -- sounds like "Clumps of." Have not even figured out which language that comes from. Sweet and sour, north Europe style. It's in a thin cream sauce, and really, sounds worse than it is.

Posted by: Rufus T. Firefly Obviously an organ with a lot of blood. Pure protein and no matter how you harvest your venison, there is usually a trace of adrenaline that will get your heart pumping. Beef heart, -probably less so. Slice thin and cook like a fine steak. If you don't like a little pink, it will get chewy, but not necessarily tough.
