Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (10/22/24)The Moose out front should have told you it was going to be a compact ONT.Quote I “All tech we are relying on is performing adequately, any issues are immediately addressed, and of course – like any big organization – we have parallel backup systems as a failsafe,” Trump campaign political director James Blair Quote II “We have collectively acknowledged that a membership dues increase is needed which is greater than the 25 percent (or $6.25) the National Board has authority to approve in a single triennium,” Girl Scouts of the USA President Noorain Khan and CEO Bonnie Barczykowski wrote in a handbook Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Donating Your Body to Science Pam Poulakos and Irene Hombs don’t want to be buried when they die. A standard cremation won’t do, either. The sisters from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have discussed their end-of-life options at length, and ultimately, they want to serve the greater good. They’ve decided to donate their bodies to science. It looks like Jonah got some balls. Oh yeah, his wife was out with her MAGA BFF. The political analyst Samuel Lubell introduced the concept of the sun and moon parties in 1951. The sun party is the majority party, and “it is within the majority party that the issues of any particular period are fought out; while the minority party shines in reflected radiance of the heat thus generated.” Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Democratic Party was the sun party for two generations, until the dawn of the Reagan majority. When Bill Clinton signed welfare reform and (falsely) declared, “The era of big government is over,” he was reflecting the reality of that transformation. In the early 2000s, the GOP receded back into moon status. “But,” as David Brooks noted in 2011, “something strange happened. No party took the lead. … Both parties have become minority parties simultaneously. We are living in the era of two moons and no sun.” We drove through Iowa twice in the past 13 days. I guess we kicked in some money to their coffers. BOONE, Iowa — A new study shows tourists in Iowa spent $7.3 billion for the first time. The Iowa Visitor Economic Impact data, released for 2023 by the Iowa Tourism Office, reports that tourism-related expenditures totaled $7.3 billion for the first time in the state’s history. That’s a 5.1% increase from 2022. On average, visitors spent nearly $20 million per day experiencing all that Iowa has to offer. Oct. 22, 1992: The Day Rush Limbaugh Rejected the GOP and Endorsed Bill Clinton “I can no longer ignore what is becoming obvious,” Rush Limbaugh somberly notified his audience at the beginning of his three-hour show on Thursday, Oct. 22, 1992. His voice — and presumably his heart — was heavy. His tone was unusually forlorn. A melancholy mood permeated the air. When I get old and decrepit don't let me out in public like Chris Matthews. My goodness his meds are not being properly dosed. I’ve never seen a more heroic figure than Liz Cheney. She lost her state, probably forever. She lost her party. She lost her leadership in the Republican House. She probably could have been on her way to Speaker. A 19-year-old Walmart employee was discovered dead in a mysterious incident reportedly involving a large baking oven. Police responded to calls of a ‘sudden death’ at a store in Halifax, Nova Scotia, around 9.30pm on Saturday, and found a deceased woman. Where in the store her body was found as not immediately disclosed. Too soon? Day old baked goods anyone? Notice: Posted with permission by the Ace Media Empire & AceCorp, LLC.

From the parched prairie of NE Oklahoma...🤠 Last night, about 2am, we heard it raining, for about a minute. A few minutes later, it rained for almost five minutes. Got up this morning and there was no clue that it had rained at all. So. Very. Dry. Lord, we could use a little more. Lots more. Soon, please. Howdy, y'all.

>>First Arnon Mishkin announces that the results will not be known for days ! Then MI, GA and PA (secretary of stae I assume) announce they will not have the results for days ! they are probably meeting in a bunker, and I want a JDAM.... As has been noted, Pa has over 700k of what it calls, inactive voter registrations as part of it's total voter registration. What's an inactive voter registration? Beats the sh*t out of me. What it means though is that they have a reserve of over 700k potential ballots. And being that nobodies going to audit any of this sh*t means they can generate any result they need. Hence the statements of it's going to take weeks to count the ballots. 2024 is going to make 2020 look like a Sunday School Bake Sale. Posted by: Thomas Bender at October 22, 2024 10:10 PM (XV/Pl) 53

“I need the kind of generals that Hitler had”: Trump’s obsession with dictators and disdain for America’s military are deepening, @JeffreyGoldberg reports: theatlantic.com/politics/arc… OMayra Guillen@mguilen_ 5h Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics -- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today. Breaking911 @Breaking911 1h RIGHT ON CUE: 2 weeks before the election, The Atlantic publishes article saying Trump wanted 'Generals that Hitler had.' They also quote an unnamed source who claims Trump offered to pay for murdered Army soldier Vanessa Guillén's funeral but backed out and called her 'a fucking Mexican.' Guillén's sister released this statement: “I am beyond grateful for all the support President Donald Trump showed our family during a trying time. I witnessed firsthand how President Trump honors our nation’s heroes’ service. We are grateful for everything he has done and continues to do to support our troops.” Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 22, 2024 10:18 PM (hovnC) 89
If you have a big truck, RV, or prized car you don't want scratched, park the damned thing on the far edge of the lot, and walk the extra hundred yards to the store.
Tried that. Some asshole parked right next to me and opened his door into mine, denting my door and leaving some of his paint on it. Then he took off. All I was there for was to pick up two gallons of milk so all of this transpired in about 10 minutes. On the upside, I stopped being worried about parking lot dings.

We are living in the era of two moons and no sun.”
And that is why there are so many werewolves around. Right Werner? Posted by: Kindltot The logic is undeniable. A balding Werner envies their perfect hair, and would like to know their tailor. There is a sadness here, though, as some of their lycanthropic ranks seem to lose their passion for shape-shifting, and heed no longer the siren call of the full Moon. These were-werewolves cannot bring themselves even to howl over the moors. Sadder still are the Leopard Men and Were Hyenas, who, through a species-specific dysmorphia, pine to be lycans, yet these were-not-yet-would-that-they-were-werewolves must bear up under their affliction. There are some who claim that all of this explains the Kardashians, yet Werner remains unconvinced. Now, what were-Werner thinks on this is not clear, as he shares not his ruminations with me, not even on Oktoberfest. Would that it were not so. Ach.

Evening, Morons. If you have the opportunity to vote early, please do so. The Trump campaign is focused on low propensity voters and that means GOTV is absolutely essential. Most early vote states give a list of names of who voted to the campaigns each day, so they can remove those names from their list of potential contacts. Every early vote helps the campaign narrow its focus on the voters that still need to be contacted and persuaded.
In the past I waited until Election Day because I thought voting early just helped the Dems figure out how much they needed to cheat by. But the truth is they’re gonna cheat no matter what, if not by stuffing the ballot box then by not having enough ballots on hand in Republican precincts, or suddenly having “unforeseen technical difficulties” forcing people to wait for hours on Election Day, which is what happened two years ago in Arizona. So don’t risk being caught in their malfeasance. Vote early if you can. Posted by: Caiwyn at October 22, 2024 10:32 PM (BaIXK) 152

I must say I didn't have "Kamala Harris is campaigning with Liz Cheney two weeks before the election" on my bingo card.
Liz Cheney? Really? Somebody on X explained that Kamala's campaign manager is Cesar Chavez's granddaughter, and her chief ad guy is a typical DEI hire. Neither of them have ever held a job outside the political/nonprofit bubble. Can't imagine why they can't figure out how to appeal to white males (or black males, for that matter). Posted by: The ARC of History! at October 22, 2024 10:23 PM (uxCna) When you have Tampon Tim kicking his legs and waving his hands like a fruitcake, it's hard for the ticket to appeal to men. But yeah, Liz Cheney? Really? The Queen Turncoat of J-6 fame? That's supposed to be some major flex or something? Posted by: RickZ at October 22, 2024 10:33 PM (gKDq2) 162

If you're into praying for pets Paisley is having bowel issues. Posted by: Northernlurker , wondering where his phone is at October 22, 2024 10:31 PM (SyeRz) I think the most expensive motel we stayed at so far was in Billings, MT, and "fleabag" would be appropriate. Nicest was a Holiday Inn in Sioux City, for less than the fleabag cost. Cheapest so far is the Dakota Inn here in Minot, where we are now. Still quite acceptable, as good as a Super 8.

Evening.
So, I mentioned earlier about losing out on Godzilla in the Criterion sale. After much wailing, gnashing of teeth and tending of garments, I resolved to stop acting like a little bitch and got a bunch of other also awesomely awesome movies. Demon Pond (Japan) (1979) (Masahiro Shinoda) Don't Look Now (US/Italy) (1973) (Nicolas Roeg) I Walked With A Zombie/The Seventh Victim: Produced By Val Lewton (1943) (Jacques Tourneur) (US) (1943) (Mark Robson) Peeping Tom (UK) (1960) (Michael Pressberger) The Seventh Seal (Sweden) (1957) (Ingmar Bergman) So, a pretty damn good haul if I do say so. And I think, well, that's enough spending for now. And not five minutes ago Crunchyroll just put through the charge on that big $180 dollar Macross Plus box set I preordered in June. *Gulp* Posted by: Robert at October 22, 2024 10:38 PM (0wyGh) 180

Great day at the range today with my friend @AdamKinzinger. We got to hang out with some union workers while exercising our freedom. Always have your first aid kit handy.

The longer you look at the photos, the worse it gets. 1) They are shooting steel at 5-7 yards with rifles, which could’ve killed somebody given the force with which the bullets will ricochet off the steel targets at the at distance. You would instantly get permanently banned at my range if you did that. Zero questions asked. 2) Kinzinger holds his rifle like a complete ninny, and that will never not be funny to me. And pro-tip for @AdamKinzinger: the eye protection works better when it’s on your eyes, not your head. You stupid idiot. Try using your brain for once. You’re lucky you still have one after today. 3) Kinzinger is for some reason using a high-powered scope (at least a 3-9x by the looks of it) to shoot a target 5 yards away. https://is.gd/gqVFQ3 whole explanation & photos Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 22, 2024 10:45 PM (hovnC) 208

One of my childhood friends has lived in Europe for at least 35 years; she moved there shortly after graduating from college. Never ever talked about politics until the 2020 election, when in her Christmas letter she talked proudly of how she voted for Biden because she just couldn't stand Trump. I am mystified as to how someone like her, who has not lived in the USA for decades, can still vote in our elections. I am assuming she used her parents' address to register to vote.

After the burning times and re-building functioning society starts anew, co-ed instruction needs to go away. I can understand when schools were one room and teachers limited, but modern day public schools and universities and the military illustrate why single sex education coupled with aptitude testing and placement is the way forward. Female teachers, especially the crazy types, just treat boys as a species of defective girls. The feminization of everything is a huge part of dysfunction.

It says that if you are in the range of 100 to 120 you are very smart.

Everyone knows, or at least has has heard of, the Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960-- the FIRST Presidential debate in modern times, and the first to be televised. Television was cutting edge technology then. Color TV wasn't very good, and so Kennedy-Nixon was broadcast in black and white.
I watched it live, of course. So, what did these two future Presidents debate, exactly? 1) A lengthy & SPIRITED discussion as to whether the uninhabited (IIRC) Pescadores Islands off the coast of China were inshore or offshore islands! 2) Kennedy said the U.S. was in danger because of a "missile gap"* with the Soviet Union. We needed more, said Kennedy. Nixon disputed that. As President, Kennedy later admitted that he'd been wrong about the supposed missile gap. Behold, the Great Issues of 1960! *Dr. Strangelove mocked the "missile gap" as the "mineshaft gap." Posted by: mnw at October 22, 2024 10:59 PM (NLIak) 275

Posted by: Aetius451AD at October 22, 2024 10:50 PM (y31cs) You can tell they are pretenders by their use of the word shrapnel. They mean fragments. Using the term shrapnel when you are referring to shell or bullet fragments is a sure way to get your Smart Military Blog™ Membership Card revoked. Shrapnel is a specific type of artillery shell designed to air-burst and propel metal balls (usually called 'shrapnel') towards the ground, to injure infantry and cavalry in the open. In essence, a big shotgun shell that opens a long way from the firing location. OK, Gref the Pedant is calling it a night. 13 days! Posted by: Gref at October 22, 2024 11:04 PM (aBgBM) 292

There's something to be said for boy's spaces that allow those boys to grow into men.
Posted by: RickZ at October 22, 2024 10:51 PM (gKDq2) I won't argue with that. But keep in mind that, at least currently, boys and girls are separated in the regular Scouts. It's only the cubs that are co-ed. Girls have to have their own troop organizations. Many are "sister troops" to existing boy-only troops, and there are opportunities at organized events for the two to mingle, but the boys still have their own troop structure, leadership, and everything. For parents who find themselves stretched thin across multiple children with too many activities already, having a single organization to work with like this can be a plus.

I didn’t know the scouts are separated. How are there so many girl Eagle Scouts?
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at October 22, 2024 11:11 PM (D6PGr) I don't know... I suspect the ones who started early wanted to prove themselves quickly, but that's just a guess. I don't really know how many there are. I have heard rumors of co-ed troops on the horizon, but I am skeptical a.) that it will happen, and b.) that it will work, for the reasons RickZ specified. I think girls becoming Scouts is a net positive right now, but there's such a thing as taking things too far.

I'd rather have Tulsi Gabbard in the GOP, even as an establishment type, than Mitch McConnell or Mitt Romney. I believe her to be (probably) more honest than those two, and at least she's willing to genuinely support Trump, as opposed to McConnell, who, I think, offered a tepid endorsement, and Romney, who, to the best of my knowledge, is still a dyed-in-the-wool NeverTrumper.

One of the lawyers who has spent the last couple of years defending J6 defendants for donations is a former DOJ prosecutor who left the government in 2013 to go into private practice. His name is Bill Shipley but he goes by @shipwreckedcrew on X. One of his first clients was Jacob Chansley, also know as the Shaman. The guy in the Buffalo hat.

I won't argue with that. But keep in mind that, at least currently, boys and girls are separated in the regular Scouts. It's only the cubs that are co-ed. Girls have to have their own troop organizations. Many are "sister troops" to existing boy-only troops, and there are opportunities at organized events for the two to mingle, but the boys still have their own troop structure, leadership, and everything.
For parents who find themselves stretched thin across multiple children with too many activities already, having a single organization to work with like this can be a plus.

Appropos of nothing, I can confidently say that if you need a space heater for supplemental heat - small spaces, enclosed porch, small workshop, camper - the catalytic type are the way to go. It is a different type of combustion, very efficient, and very safe. The fuel rate burn is very low, they sip the fuel compared to other types and no fans or thermostat required.
They produce a very even warmth, because ultimately they heat objects, not the air. The closest thing I can think of is floor heat, which is also very nice. Posted by: Common Tater at October 22, 2024 11:25 PM (a9x7X) 362

Even at 15 yds, with handguns, one is well advised to keep your eye protection on when steels are the target. Jackets fairly often get back that far. Usually not fast enough to cause a serious problem, but eyes .....
Once at my favorite now discontinued steels match, shooting a plate-rack up near a berm, RO behind me, I felt a jacket fragment hit my nose - and I felt the blood running down onto my lip. Didn't hurt at all. For fun, I just finished the rack, RO does his thing (clear, slide, trigger, holster), and I turn around. Shock and "ooh!" from the RO and the small squad. Small bandaid, bleeding stopped. I usually shoot lead (reloads), little problem with those, but jacketed bullets + steel is a combo that calls for prudence.

We have a big range in the area. Pistol and .22 rifle are OK on steel. I think the closest center fire steel is out at about 100 yards or so. If one attempted to use a center fire rifle on the pistol steel, the offender would immediately be ejected. If nothing else, they don't want their steel targets destroyed.

As pointed out, another issue is the targets - they can be ruined easily with rifle fire. Ruined = various things, including being pitted, which renders them unsuitable (ricochets will be unpredictable, not downward). AR500 steel targets are made for it and hold up pretty well, though not forever.

Absolutely. For sheer opulence they are pretty much unparalleled here in the US. And a great glimpse into how the great industrialists of the early 20th century lived. Most are open as museums now and easy to visit and they houses are spectacular as are the grounds. Used to be a local charity that would sponsor Great Gatsby parties to raise money for local children's parties complete with period dress and bands and they were a blast. If you come now in the Fall you can do a Coffee and Cars with Jay Leno at one of the mansions many of the weekends. Posted by: JackStraw at October 23, 2024 12:06 AM (LkLld) 468

RE: The Abercrombie CEO who was arrested for sex trafficking. Of COURSE, if you watch the trailer for the Netflix documentary, you might think that the company's biggest sin was the lack of "diversity" in hiring sales staff for their stores. They didn't allow a Muslim girl to wear a hijab at work! One black female was told, "We're not hiring you because of racial discrimination. We're not hiring you because you're not good looking enough." Which, in her case, is entirely accurate! "Good looking" isn't the same as "looking white, but with somewhat darker skin". She's just plain. Also joining in on the whining is some homely Asian girl with thick glasses.

Posted by: Call 911, My Shorts Are Full Werner earnestly pleads that you not include Vlad Țepeș with these...these...ach, words fail me. and you all well know that invective is a German art form, second only to making horrendously bad decisions. Vlad could be described as someone whose idea of a formally-appointed dinner differed somewhat from that of others, or as an early, if misdirected, sous vide enthusiast. I mean, those he impaled were defeated Ottoman invaders, ruthless criminals, boyars who got to be too big for their britches, or people who had pissed Vlad off that morning. Occasionally, he would have the wrong person impaled, and there would be great laughter and merriment, with Vlad slapping his head and saying, oh Vlad, you goofy guy, you wasted a perfectly good stake. Warnius, you up there, sorry about that. And Warnius would laugh as the sharpened pole pierced his last vital organs, saying, yes, my prince, you got me on that one. Could a priest may be found, that I could receive the last rites and gurrrrggllll.

Yep. But I'm pretty sure all of us are seeing people on our side being attacked with lawfare over legitimate legal reasons. They are destroying the lives of people on our side over legitimate legal disputes and it's way past time we started hitting back. Giuliani was a national hero during 9/11 and before that he cleaned up NYC and made it livable again and leftists have used the legal process to ruin his life because he dared to challenge them.

Boeing is the contractor for the core stages of the SLS rocket. Northup does the solid boosters, I think. Lockheed Martin is the contractor for the Orion capsule itself. Airbus is the one for the so-called European Service Module under the Orion capsule. It's all a fucking mess. Prada spacesuits and all that.

Hubby & I 'early voted' this week. It's a relief that we won't be standing in line on 11/5... Hubby has very little stamina, plus compromised immunity from his meds. I have little patience (LOL) so, welcome the opportunity to save time.

Morning, insomaniacals! A compact ONT, here I am up earlier than I planned, and there are over 600 comments awready!
I need to go back and read the sun and moon parties essay. Anyway! 'Tis Wednesday, or just barely where I am, and at noon we'll be halfway along the long dusty winding trail to the weekend. I'll have a busy errands day today, though I don't expect work to be taxing. How about you? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 23, 2024 03:23 AM (omVj0) 603

Hubby and his (libtard) dad, got into an argument ca. 2008...
FIL told hubby that if he wasn't gonna vote for 0bastard, he "shouldn't vote at all"... Did not go over well w/hubby! They didn't speak for YEARS afterward. (Until FIL was dying...and hubs went to help out, and then say goodbye) Posted by: JQ at October 23, 2024 03:38 AM (njWTi) 608

Speaking of libtards...
Haven't been in touch with my sister since June. It breaks my heart that we never were "close" but especially that she is on The Other Side, politically. I just don't get it-- she's reasonably intelligent, so why oh why can't she see thru the MFM's BS and demonrat obvious lies??? Posted by: JQ at October 23, 2024 03:46 AM (njWTi) 613
Thanks JQ. I'm just fed up at this point. Supposed to be at work in a couple hours. Dunno. Getting tired and there's a lot of noises in here now. She feels ok except for the waiting.

------- Totally know what you mean! Have taken hubby I don't know how many times, in the last 3 years... it's always MANY HOURS before we can either go home, or they admit him. Ugh!!! It's really hard when nobody can figure out what's wrong. It's *still* hard, when you have Some Idea, but the Dr.'s won't listen to you. My heart goes out to both of you! Prayers up.
