Sunday Overnight Thread – 12/17/2023 [Roger Ball]
Nassau County legislator and former IDF paratrooper Mazi Pilip to face off against Democratic former congressman Tom Suozzi in February 13 special election.Hey demokkkrats, you'd better vote for her. You don't want to be racist do you? Seriously, IDF paratrooper? I would like her on my side.
Poor Poland, Nazis on one side, Communists on the other. The Polish military can hold its head high, it fought as best as it could. The nation that saved Vienna and therefore Europe from the Ottomans went down fighting - and continued fighting throughout the war.
At the Washington Free Beacon, Andrew Tobin is tracking down former Israeli peaceniks in order to convey a sense of the impact of the Hamas massacres of 10/7 on them. "I believed that I was safe. I really believed it."
"First, the hysterical nature of contemporary news coverage. Children are told that the world is coming to an end due to global warming, and they suffered through the absurdly over-hyped covid epidemic. Second, the feminization of our society and in particular our schools. Third, the philosophy of Safetyism. Fourth, financial incentives for mental health diagnoses. An unbelievable percentage of American kids are now being classified as “special needs.” The consequences of raising a fearful generation are unknown, but perhaps catastrophic."

OTOH, progressives are screaming for the state to come and save them while the state is half a county away eating donuts. And their last thought is "but violence never solves anything" without an ounce of "Maybe that was self-contradictory."
But, yes, I love that meme.

The Cowboys were dangerously close to waltzing into the playoffs. All true Cowboys fans know that is an unnatural state of affairs. Only when Dallas loses their last two games, and needs some bizarre combination of other teams winning and losing to get them in the playoffs, will the Universe be appeased.

I once read a syfy book about an alien invasion of Earth. First, they bought a peanut butter company. On each jar, they included a statistical fact. Well, actually a statistical lie. They contended that the average strength, intelligence, etc. was better than it actually was so everybody felt they were below average. Then the aliens just walked in.

He just approved another $6 bil for California's train to nowhere. I can't believe it. That thing was dead to the federal budget when Trump was in office. No more Mister Nice Daddy. And Biden just unlocked the safe and threw another 6 bil at it. It's so awful that the NY Times and the LA Times have done feature-length slams on it. Depressing.

It’s literally called the “Reconciliation Monument” and was erected 100 years ago as a sign that the country had moved on from the Civil War. Now they’re tearing it down as a sign that they actually don’t want us to move on.
I’ve made this point many times. It is insane that people today act like the wounds of the Civil War are somehow fresher for them than they were for people who had living relatives who fought in the conflict.

The great astronomer Simon Newcomb, said this a couple weeks before the Wright Brother's first flight:
Quite likely the twentieth century is destined to see the natural forces which will enable us to fly from continent to continent with a speed far exceeding that of the bird. But when we inquire whether aerial flight is possible in the present state of our knowledge; whether, with such materials as we possess, a combination of steel, cloth and wire can he made which, moved by the power of electricity or steam, shall form a successful flying machine, the outlook may be altogether different.
So, when Kelvin et al were saying "impossible", I don't think they meant physically impossible, but they meant practically impossible for us to achieve any time soon.

The Memorial Bridge itself was placed there to go from Robert Lee’s Arlington to Abraham Lincoln‘s monument. Look at the eternal flame at Gettysburg and the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. It was all about reconciliation and a testament to the living veterans on both sides, who reconciled and tried to bring a nation together and did.
Now we have a generation or two that have no interest in history and never learned it in the first place. Of course, they can believe that the Civil War just ended and everyone is still hot mad at each other. That’s how they feel about everyone who isn’t them.

I once contacted the city representatives to ask them why the main road in the town was named after a union general in a southern state when he fought not in first Manassas, nor second Manassas. of course most of the city council carpet baggers, and they didn’t respond to me at all. One council member did respond and he explained the street was named because Grant came to Manassas after the war and they named the street to remember that event while he was president.
Even Civil War aficionados can learn new things. I guess that street is safe, but I doubt many who lived there know why it’s named that.

But the left is a mile wide and an inch deep. Punch them in the face and they crumble. Ask Bud Lite.
Trump has been lied about in the media daily, they have indicted him multiple times and stole an election and he now has the biggest polling lead over Biden in the RCP he's ever had and he's pulling away. Wins don't happen overnight particularly when you don't fight back for years. Now we are finally fighting and everyone knows the left can't win without cheating.

📌#Wilmington | #Delaware
A major accident occurred after a car plowed and crashed into President Joe Biden's motorcade that was parked, leaving him stunned. The incident took place in Wilmington, Delaware, where tightened security surrounded President Biden. Secret Service agents drew their weapons on a black driver as the vehicle appeared to ram into an SUV that had closed down a street while Biden attended a nearby campaign event. The President and the First Lady had just emerged from the Biden-Harris 2024 headquarters in downtown Wilmington just after 8 pm.
🚨#UPDATE: According to reports, President Joe Biden was not injured as he was quickly rushed into his car after the incident. Additionally, the reports state that his vehicle was not involved

Ok, not all AR-15s are the same, but I gotta tell you it's pretty hard to overheat the barrel. Prolly more of a Gub Thread story, but I burned my hand, then a leather glove and generated a lot of smoke. Accuracy unaffected. Same across the platoon. True, it was A2s. It was a metric fuckton of ammo fast as we could shoot it over 30 minutes.

Albums really aren't worth all that much. It's almost worth it to pay someone to take them to free up (shelf) space. Of course there are valuable albums, but mostly for the covers (see: The Beatles' 'butchered baby' cover) or for the rarity of label release, even 45s. I have a couple of hundred albums and have no idea what to with them/who to give them to. Couple of good covers in that collection, too, like the original Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Street Survivors' cover.

Some farmer was having his place burgled, and of course each time the cops would tell him they'd look into it and...do nothing.
So he sat at home with his shotgun. The thugs broke in again but this time he shot one of them and the other ran off. They were armed with knives. The one he shot died. And the farmer was convicted for murder.
In Europe the elites have decided the normies will just have to deal with being burgled, and if they don't like it well all that prison space NOT being used for thugs is waiting for them.

Generally it is a mistake to believe the leaders of your enemies are dumb - they got to the top of the heap somehow right?
But I think we are at an interesting point in time where the figureheads of the junta are specifically being chosen for pliability.
Before he went senile, Biden wasn't a terribly bright man - its why he was laughed off the national stage when he ran before. And Kamala is arguably the dumbest politician with a national profile.

As has been said, generally speaking, unless a record is particularly rare, they aren't that valuable.
For instance, that Police 45 with the Murder By Numbers B side, I picked up on EBay for 7 bucks with 3 bucks shipping.
So ten bucks for a 45 from one of the most popular bands of the day.
No that being said, if you got a couple hundred records and complete collections for key artists, then that could be very valuable indeed as a set.
There are online price guides and eBay where you could gauge value and if there is no time factor you could sell off your collection casually.

Leaders of companies often get there the same way Joe did. Not by being smart, kismet. Shit, we have a mentally ill freak as Surgeon General and that thing didn't get there on merit.
Biden is a corrupt retard from a tiny state that has been dominated by credit card companies and their deep pockets for years. And now he isn't able to just hide in the basement, he has a record of complete failure to defend.
The only way Trump doesn't win in a massive landslide despite the media's best efforts is if they throw him in prison or take him out. They won't even be able to cheat enough this time.

Yes, much colder than previous winter super cold snaps in the United States.
But you may say it’s strange or not? In China, there is no power outage anywhere, electricity prices have not increased at all, no one has frozen to death, and no life or industrial production has been interrupted due to low temperatures. The lives of the entire 1.4 billion people in China are continuing smoothly as usual.

In the late 60's, near my home in La Crescenta Ca. During Christmas time there was an enclave of homes in the low hills above Glendale that were owned by some of the "engineers" of the Disney Corp. which was growing in prowess by leaps and bounds back in the day. They would do up their houses and front yards in absolutely magical displays of lights and moving figurines of Disney characters and piped in music....block upon block. My Dad made it a annual night time event over the years when I was a boy with all the siblings packed into the station wagon to go down and do a slow dive through this neighborhood in the weeks before Christmas.

2nd. Lt. Spenser Rapone “I consider myself a revolutionary socialist,” the 26-year-old Rapone told The Associated Press. “I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement.”
Many other military personnel also tweeted in favor of Kaepernick, although most were supporting free speech, not communism.

Qatar has funded UPenn and Harvard with Millions of dollars. Qatar supports Hamas and wants to turn US universities into pro-Jihadist havens.
If you’re wondering why @LindseyGrahamSC never condemned Qatar, perhaps it’s because he was a Keynote speaker at a government of Qatari summit and they invested millions of dollars in South Carolina.
What’s going on between @LindseyGrahamSC and Qatar? Will he condemn them for supporting terrorism including against Americans?

Alternate perspective: The dog lives here. You don't.
Same rule applies to cats.

Thus comes a couple of days after watching It's A Wonderful Life for the first time and I can't help but compare them. I think that they're basically telling the same story. But where A Christmas Carol
is ultimately emphasizing Christian charity, Its A Wonderful Life...doesn't. It's not even close.
If you think of Mr. Potter and Mr. Scrooge as the same character it makes sense. Both are successful if miserly businessmen, but whereas Mr. Potter is an irredeemable shitbag Mr. Scrooge eventually comes around and sees the light. The morality of It's A Wonderful Life is sadly political, condemning Mr. Potter for his great success without any hope for redemption. A Christmas Carol doesn't do that. It merely looks down on Mr. Scrooge's failure to live up to that Christian ideal of, "Whatever you did for the least of these you have done for me." But eventually he comes around and lives up to this ideal fully.
If you haven't seen the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol I would *highly* recommend it.

I was told, and saw that morale was low during the Clinton years, lifelong military members, men who put in 30 years advised many of us not to stay in. Not to whitewash Clinton but yeah, it was not nearly as bad as it is now.
Military members supporting Kaepernick over free, speech reasons and doing it on Twitter? Really not one word of that sentence makes any sense to me.

TRUMP has some MAJOR work ahead of him in 2024.
OBAMA needs to go up in front of CONGRESS for High Crimes against the Republic...no less. And attempts of SABOTAGE of a standing US Government by subterfuge and foreign influence.

I learned how to make popcorn on the stove top, in a heavy pan. A sploosh of oil, about 1/4 cup of corn kernels, cover and put it on high heat... shake it up a bit, then keep shaking once the corn starts poppin'. When it slows/stops, pour it all into the big roasting pan & start again. Took 3 or 4 batches for "a movie's worth" for all of us. Pour a melted 1/4 lb of butter over it all & put roaster lid on-- shake shake shake--- then salt it real good and shake some more.
Hahaha, I sure miss those days

Me: this is insane. I keep looking at things like this and then wonder about 'crime statistics' that somehow show that violent crime is somehow below historical norms. This is why everything seems fake- be it polls or statistics. Anecdotal data is still anecdotal, but when you cannot trust anything you read or is told to you, anecdotes are all you have.

Tremendous excitement and suspense is what I remember -- from Dec. 1 onward to the night of the 24th, getting ratcheted higher with each day. And that was only a little more than three weeks. Now Xmas is hyped from sometime in late October. Small kids must need tranquilizers to handle the fervor and excitement. (And maybe a lot of them are doped.)

A bag of kernels is *way cheaper* than micro or Jiffy Pop or whatever.
Freeze them before cooking, and then just keep them in the freezer. You'll get fewer "old maids" that way.
