5 This seems familiar. Did we have this one before? Or maybe it's just similar to another one. Hmmm...

I like it.

The artist did two exactly the same. You're probably confusing this one with the one where she's peeling oranges.

11 Love this painting. That little girl represents all my hopes and dreams for this world. I could just sniff her forever!

Would hang. In my room.

13 This is odd. Why isn't she in the kitchen? There's no table to put anything on. And the window is too high up for her to even enjoy looking out into the garden. It's such a manufactured setting, it's creepy.

Wonder if she poisoned the apples and the little kid is going on the rotisserie over the fire.

519 114 The real problem with Pretty Woman is Julia Roberts, who has beady eyes, a big nose, and an alligator's mouth. She has tits. But she is not pretty. Never has been, never was. I will allow that she convincingly plays a whore.

And yet....on a chilly night in a trailer park..after sharing a bottle of Wild Turkey......

------------

Plus her legs are sticks and she has no butt. In Pretty Woman they used a body double for all her "bedroom" scenes. I know body doubles are not unusual in movies but they tried to sell Roberts as sexy when she isn't. Just another way Hollywood plays with your mind.

87 I love this type of painting from the Dutch golden age period: pleasant scene, beautiful use of lighting, plenty of color but not garish which compliments the domestic scene, and exquisite detail. We've seen several other paintings by Pieter de Hooch and they share those qualities. They are, simply, a pleasure to look at.

I wonder if paintings like these and Vermeer's influenced the Scandi artists of domestic life a century or two later.

It's interesting how certain times and places produce so much wonderful art: Dutch Golden Age painting, drama and poetry in Elizabethan England and literature and poetry in the Victorian Era.

95 That big fireplace would have been in the kitchen. Kitchen fireplace had to be big enough to cook several things at the same time. Everything from bread to roast venison or pig had to be cooked in a fireplace. There had to be enough space for a roasting spit for the meat, a shelf grate for pots and pans, and a swing out for very large cauldron where the water was heated.

109 Over the weekend, took some Fuji apples that were softening due to age; unpleasant to eat.
Cut in half, took out the seeds, slice of butter and a couple of cloves on each, roast in the oven on broil.
Once roasted, mash and put the pulp in sugar water with some cinnamon for syrup.
Boil until thickened.

Came out quite nice and the apples didn't go to waste.

After the Battle of Trump Hills, the Democrat foot-soldiers were reduced to binding their wounds with apple peel. This was okay since their wounds were just hurt fee-fees but Lord how they went on and on and on and on about it.

116 109 Over the weekend, took some Fuji apples that were softening due to age; unpleasant to eat.
Cut in half, took out the seeds, slice of butter and a couple of cloves on each, roast in the oven on broil.
Once roasted, mash and put the pulp in sugar water with some cinnamon for syrup.
Boil until thickened.

Came out quite nice and the apples didn't go to waste.

Taylor Lorenz: (formerly of WaPo)

Over the past several days, Meta's Threads has become inundated with liberal election fraud conspiracies.

The conspiracies range from skepticism about vote tallies in key swing states, to allegations of a criminal coverup by Biden to force the Democrats to lose in order to (somehow eventually?) take down Trump, to claims of Russian interference with voting technology.

One pervasive conspiracy as of Saturday morning centered around Elon Musk, alleging that the billionaire hacked the election through his Starlink satellite internet company, which conspiracy theorists claim is part of the voting machine supply chain. (This is false, and ironically Musk himself pushed a debunked Dominion voting machine conspiracy theory at a Trump rally last month).

127 Trump's first priorities include:
Trump repeatedly clashed with executive branch personnel and has long insisted that unelected federal bureaucrats worked to subvert his initiatives from within the administration.

“I will immediately reissue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the president’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats and I will wield that power very aggressively,” Trump promised in a policy video. “Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus.”

He further vowed to end the weaponization of federal agencies for political purposes to prevent them from targeting conservative-leaning groups. “The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, and the left’s political enemies,” he said.

Funny story, I filed a change of address, dated 11/04/2024. When I went to vote on 11/05, they looked at my ID, looked at the address on file, and told me I couldn't vote without some additional ID that showed the correct address. The one I JUST switched to the day prior.

Now, I ended up using the one they mailed me, and dropped it in a box, but how many votes do you think they turned away in Pinal County, from people who changed their address recently?

Trump would be wise to allow the Uniparty to have its nuts in a vise from the left believing cheat in 2024 and the right which knows a cheat existed in 2020.

The GOP in office allowed the cheat in 2020 just as much as the Dems on the ground performed it.
Aside from the last minute drop and roll, I think the cheat was primarily executed by absentee ballots with no person attached aka floaters.

Voting lists were padded with non existent people during 2020 with Covid and BLM riots were preoccupying people and distracting the administration from prepwork. Once on the voting rolls, the Dems had ballots mailed to every registered voter which often were empty lots, warehouses, etc. etc. and their secret squirrels on the ground gathered those ballots up and filled them out

I mentioned this the other day - liberals have taken note of Kamala getting the normal amount of votes instead of the 81 million Joe got in 2020 and believe that's proof that Trump cheated somehow.

Never mind that 2024's totals are within the margin of error of 2016, 2012, 2008, and 2004.

Still, the ethos seems to be widespread.

Probably why so many anti-Trump ads were focused on his comments about getting revenge. The idea was, it seems, that everyone on the left would be terrified that Trump would be targeting them specifically for vengeance for simply being on the left.

As opposed to the power centers in government and corporate America who opposed him in material and often illegal ways.

We're going to get so many stories of lawsuits against the Trump administration because he's violating civil service laws, but most of them won't be violations of civil service laws.

It's going to be the new Russian collusion about Trump's lawlessness, firing good-hard working bureaucrats who have publicly stated that they want the people of the United States to have no say in the workings of their government.

Possibly. Be some time before it becomes noticeable enough to use statistical analysis.

And, you have the conflating variable of education indoctrination. It is pretty clear that education from k12 to grad school skews heavily to the left. Home schooling is the remedy at the K12 but colllege attendance is the problem then.

Well, then you throw in the anecdotal stories of how young boys, in particular, wholesale reject the leftist indoctrination of the school system.

Also, the whole global warming cult is about 30 years old now.

These are suppositions on my part, not backed by any data or analysis, but I just don't think that the greater propensity for conservatives to have more kids, the general distrust of education systems, and the left being the establishment for so long (with Trump becoming the only real counter-cultural political figure in decades), and it's all a big soup of...the future isn't that 4th wave feminist.

I doubt the backlash outside the Senate will actually work. Part of the appeal in being in the Senate is that you're better than everyone else and 6 years between elections means that 99% of policy and personnel sins are forgotten by the time they face the voters.

Also, Scott backed red-flag laws, so he's squishy, at best.

That he's better than Thune and Cornyn is more a damning of them than a praising of Scott.

Indeed it is. I'm still incensed that Thune had the stones to warn the guy who's the leader of the GOP, and lead them to an historic victory, to stay out of the Leader race. If he can do that 48 hours after Trump's victory, he thinks he can buck Trump. He's an enemy. YD said it best in the MR comments. Make sure Thune knows that if he steps out of line, he will get a primary challenge from Trump. Senate independence is one thing. Acting like Mitch's Mini-Me is quite another.

Besides, I don't think the Senate caucus is happy that because of Mitch, at least 5 seats that could have been R between 2020, 2022 and 2024 were not.

That Thune offered them each a cherry committee chairmanship and a kickass seat at the grifting table.

345 This has been linked to before but it is worth reading again when it comes to how voter fraud is being committed:

347 Dems/MSMS/progs were too stunned last week do much more than whine and make stupid outrage videos. This week they will do more reflection and analysis and come to the conclusion that Americans are indeed toxic, racist, misogynist fascists that need to be put down and the real coordinated insanity will start ramping up. Utter chaos in time for the holidays.

348 I don't recall any of my professors mentioning politics . except for the one woman who taught a course of Gandhi who I now realize had an over idealized view of him. She also taught Greek drama and was brilliant, but maybe the fact that it was not a school in the Mid Atlantic states made some of the professors more conservative.

350 'Bosch' is a trademarked name for auto parts.

'Boche' is the Germans in WW1.

You're welcome.

>>Besides, I don't think the Senate caucus is happy that because of Mitch, at least 5 seats that could have been R between 2020, 2022 and 2024 were not.

Thune has other bosses than Trump and his voters, so we're going to find out that whoever is pulling his strings and funneling money into his bank accounts has more pull.

The Uniparty is going to uniparty, electoral mandate be damned.

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't one last massive Ukraine multi-decade spending bill before the new congress.

Book it.

352 Gen-Z apparently being pretty right-leaning is probably part of that.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, finding suspense, madness, and humanity with Michael Powell at November 11, 2024 10:21 AM

Gen-Z men, barely, but not Gen-Z women.

Men 18-29 (Z): 49-47 Trump
Men 30-44 (Y): 53-43 Trump
Men 45-64 (X): 60-38 Trump
Men 65+: 55-44 Trump
Women 18-29 (Z): 61-37 Harris
Women 30-44 (Y): 54-43 Harris
Women 45-64 (X): 50-49 Trump
Women 65+: 54-45 Harris

Gen-X men and women only generational grouping majority vote for Trump. Highest majority support among Gen-X and Boomer men.
