Good morning Morons. J.J. asked me to fill in him for him the remainder of the week as his computer remains held hostage. He didn't say that I couldn't have a Mystery Click or a video below the fold. So you will get those along with the following.............
A week ago today I woke up to find that Donald J. Trump was now President Elect President Trump. I still have a schadenboner. The following just keeps it alive.......

Burned to a crisp inside his car. They think he couldn't get out because his remains were in the backseat area.

The problem with EV's is that there's "bugs" but then there is their fundamentally fatal flaw: Energy Density.
They can claim to come up with some wizzbang new battery tech that will hold a billion kajillion kilowattojoules but the problem is *how do you f'in charge it up in a reasonable amount of time*?
See that is a math problem. kWh = kW * hours. If you try to decrease the time (hours), you have to increase the kW (which is Voltage * Amperage).
Just think, when you convert the gas pump to a common energy unit where you can compare electricity and petroleum - your gas pump is operating at the same rate as about a 10 MEGAwatt charger.
There ain't no way that we're going to build our energy infrastructure up to the point where every charging station can have a MEGAwatt charger for everyone that needs one - like we have right now for ICE vehicles.

Personal appearances aside, his was a particularly protracted, febrile and very histrionic loss of composure on that glorious night. He did not burst into tears, but it was a close-run thing.

Wasn't she saying that Biden/Harris "promised" her (and her allies) a win? Um, yeah. About that. The idea is that you are supporting a campaign because you approve their agenda (relative to others), not that you're buying a ticket to access. I get the sense that she thought she was buying her way into actual, tangible influence.
And if that's the case, it's a most cynical, anti-democratic position to take when you're supposed to be doing things that will improve a country.
I suggest she never go to Vegas. The house always wins and you'll go broke after all the promise and tease.

Johnathan Alter (LOL, I didn't know he was still in media after reefing Newsweek) said he'll be hiding illegals in his attic like Anne Frank if Homan is in charge of the border.
I suggest on Day 1 that Homan orders a gratuitously aggressive raid on Alter's home, where ICE tears the place apart back to the wall studs looking for these aliens that Alter said he'd be hiding. Both to set the tone, and for the laughs, but mostly for the laughs.

Panic is real and needs to be designed for. That's why most cars now turn off the fuel pump immediately when there's a hard enough hit to set off the airbags. Gives more time for peoples' heads to clear in case a door got wedged in the accident or whatever.

Kentucky has a Democrat Governor. Kentucky has a law which states that the Governor must appoint an interim Senator from a list provided by the legislative caucus of the party that the Senator being replaced is from (nominally Republican in this case). The Governor says that the law is at odds with the state Constitution and will not abide. Getting rid of McConnell early, at best, sees no one in that seat for an extended period. That, in turn, gives more power to Collins, Murk, et al.

We should just take up a collection to get JJ a new laptop and an external HDD enclosure for him to take his old hard drive out and map it to his new computer.
I've been working on PC's since my Dad brought home a Commodore 64/128 back in 1986 or so. I remember him saying "Learn how to use this, its the future."
And I did. I "learned how to code" by reading the BASIC programs printed in the back of 1..2..3...Contact magazine. Then I started playing with the hardware, built my own 286 by going to these cool old school tech chop shops with my grandfather and using my chore money to pay for memory, sound cards, video cards.
I know, cool story bro. Result of that is to say, in my experience its never worth it to repair a laptop. Just go buy a new one, transfer the contents from old to new and get on with life.

Right. You can buy a basic chromebook, or Win laptop for less than $200. Had a good laptop that wouldn't stop filling any field with XXXXXX without using esc multiple times. Took it to a repair shop, told it would cost $150 to fix. Had them pull the hd and toss the rest. Too old to spend the money on the repair that "might" solve the problem.

He's a decorated veteran and ivy league educated. He's also a host on Fox News.
I'm not sure where I stand on him. He's definitely well spoken and communicates clearly. He was apparently a Battalion Commander in the Army so he does have leadership experience.
Personally speaking - I prefer people in these cabinet positions who have the right blend of ability and ideology. You can't go too far on either end of that see-saw. If you get someone who is pure ability but not ideologically aligned - you get what he had in his first term. A cabinet of backstabbers and self-servers. But if you go with individuals who are all ideology but no ability, then you get nothing more than commissars and zealots who - while making noises and thrashing about may seem great to the red-meat-eating base - don't actually get anything done.
Those are are both ideologically based and have talent/ability are the ones you want to put front and center in the important positions, but in Trump's case, that bench is rather short I'm afraid.

Lawyers are like this. They have class aspirations, and their credentials are a substitute for the old money they typically lack (in their minds anyway).
What make this odd is that they, more than most, should recognize the sorry state of credentials, given how many bad lawyers there are and their interaction with paid experts, who will say anything for a cheeseburger.

If Democrats want to commit another political suicide. Identity politics is the downfall of the Democratic Party.
“Identity politics” is a GOP talking point to demonize Democrats for embracing diversity and inclusion. Only racist white people use the term.
Her fan base is very loud and strong, but support drops off quickly outside that small circle. Plenty of Democrats are not fans of her or anyone in The Squad. I think it was summer 2023 she said she didn't know if her future was in Politics anymore.
If we think Kamala Harris motivated RWers & MAGATs like no one else, just wait until AOC is on the ballot. There is misogyny. There is racism. There is BOTH on steroids.
A lefty Latina woman from the Bronx is going to win back all the voters we lost because they didn't want to vote for a moderate Black/Indian woman from California. Suuure. And I fear the sad reality is that no woman of any description will win the presidency in the foreseeable future.

I'm asking this in earnest - are we not Judeo-Christians? Do we not believe in the power of redemption, of forgiveness?
Rubio might be what some consider to be GOPe... but for him to stand on that stage and support Trump, after the quite frankly vicious verbal barbs that they threw at each other during the campaign of 2016... It certainly seems to me that he's seen the light. Given his stalwart support of Israel, he certainly seems to be saying the right things.
I suppose I'm willing to give people a second chance. Lets also not forget that Rubio came to the Senate during the 2010 Red Wave driven by the Tea Party.

Comfort zone.
Macs are a bad value. They're good computers, but whatever they're selling can always be had from a comparable PC for half the money.
But that wasn't always the case. There was a time when a "comparable PC" couldn't be had for any amount of money because they didn't exist. Those days are long in the past, but a lot of people got kicked in back then, and will never feel at home on a PC.

Always been fond of the big switch that goes "click" and absolutely cuts power rather than a soft switch where you are asking the computer to shut down.
The idea that a car would have a soft switch to open a door when a direct mechanical release is simpler and less expensive is ludicrous. The remote and electronic gizmos are ad-one to what is still a mechanical latch. Designers actually have to go out of their way to design without an actual door handle..
That said, Tesla should get sued for big $$$, even fvcking trunks have pull latches to keep someone from getting trapped and have had them for decades.

ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena Nov 2
Ulysses S. Grant became Secretary of War at 37 years old. @PeteHegseth is 44 years old. Like Grant, he’s a decorated veteran and had no previous government experience.

The way it works is the service chiefs, (Army chief of staff, Chief of Naval Operations, etc) is they are the administrative heads of their services, Army, Navy, etc.
Operational control (whose in charge when fighting) is with the "combatant commanders". These are four stars who head the commands, like CentCom, etc.

I chose it because I got tired of failing , cumbersome OS, and having to play an IT tech every time MS sent an upgrade. So let's say for usability and reliability. The only time I had to replace a mac is after dropping it for the 6th or 7th time and messing up a jack , that could have been replaced (theoretically) but I decided it was time.

I think he mentioned the machine is pretty old and needed (in his words) "a new sound card." That implies to me it's pretty old. Or just a term thrown out to describe faulty sound from "wherever."
If parts were required for an older Mac laptop I'd imagine they're hard to come by and expensive.

He’s a real shot-at-by-jihadis veteran with Bronze Stars and a degree from Princeton who was later punished by the military for having a cross tattoo, which they deemed “white supremacy”. In other words, he has a legit grudge about DEI in the military.

Noem, in general, has been pretty reliable, and sending National Guard troops to the Texas border probably helped sell her to Trump. Her political career, i assume, is hurt by the dog incident, so she gets a lifeline from Trump. She's proven to be fairly effective, and she's loyal in return.
Rubio is more concerning. He's always been, to me, an untrustworthy Establishment soldier. It's POSSIBLE he's seen the political future, spent time with Trump, and gotten on board the train...or he's just a mole hoping to gum things up.
He's run for President before, so getting close to Trump and getting State department experience, in a time of major international deals, may be what he's really focused on. Does Trump trust him, or want him replaced in the senate for some reason?

Comfort zone definitely has a lot to do with it. Apple II in school, Macintosh Classic and SE in college, and various and sundry Macs in the decades since. I use a PC for work and it always feels back-asswards even though I've used it every day for years. The muscle memory just isn't there.

As somebody who owns several Apple products, I will say they just work, like 95% of the time, with no problems. Apple also has excellent build quality and some of the best displays in the business.
But when I had to get something new to replace the 2017 iMac (which is now just a file server), I just went ahead and built a new PC.
Apple has gotten so crazy with their upgrade charges on RAM & Storage that I just decided to go with Windows and get four times the RAM & SSD for a cheaper price than the equivalent Mac.

I agree with the spirit of his pick, but there were better choices. I hope to be proven wrong, btw. I just don’t see Pete as the same caliber as other cabinet picks. IMVHO

The name of my late cat "Tatiana Sibirsky" got on a mailing list . . . from AARP.
In fairness to these people, Tatiana's name (thanks to Miss Linda) has been on magazine mailing lists for years. She was born in 2006, so if she were still alive she'd be 18 years old -- at a 1 to 5 ratio of cat years to human, she'd be 90. Still, I doubt she'd have any interst in discounts on prescriptions or a subscription to the AARP Bulletin.

If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” according to a draft of the order reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.
As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.

Imagine telling yourself in 2016 that the Secretary of Defense under the second (third?) Trump administration has a "Deus Vult" tattoo on his bicep

Rick Wilson is a weak, pathetic, girl. He needs to shut his whore mouth. Especially concerning the DoD.

Just so you know ...
There were around 4,000 political appointment positions which an incoming administration needs to review, and fill or confirm, of which about 1,200 require Senate confirmation.
So If you hyperventilate over each and every pick, you need to relax. Enjoy this amazing victory, trust Trump, and enjoy what's going to be a historic, prosperous, and successful 4 years in American history.

This morning, I’ll be voting for Rick Scott for GOP Leader, as I did two years ago. In 2022, I helped lead the charge for Rick against McConnell & I’m proud to stand with him again.
For 12 yrs, I’ve been unequivocal that we need to change GOP Leadership—and now we finally will.

The focus allegedly will be on retiring GO’s and perhaps some of the upper tier field grades. But that needs to be done with a lot of thought as to who will backfill. But there is a lot of meat on the DoD bone to chew. The entire organization needs to be realigned to be made sleeker and a better warfighting machine. They also need to get rid of the cozy relationships with contractors. I just don’t see Pete as having those skills.

Maybe edited and ready to go????
But the interest to distribute and advertise is no longer there.
I liked Pt1 even though it had no ending and was interested in seeing Pt 2.
Originally, Costner planned it as a 4(!) part movie series. So maybe part of the delay is reshoots and re-editing to wrap it up in Pt 2.

I know someone (very well) whose daughter tried many times to pass ranger school. It was convenient he became buddies with the guy controlling that process, Scott Miller. She did nothing (while being in the army) but train to pass. She was given 3 opportunities that I'm aware of. She never made it. And she was a stud, physically.

But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.

"Washington Times, November 12, 2024, House Republicans demand Biden Cabinet members preserve all documents, communications"
1. They're required by law.
2. The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments — the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Attorney General.
3. THEY DIDN"T GO FAR ENOUGH with their little newsworthy order because: "They are joined in this by other executive agencies such as the CIA and Environmental Protection Agency, the heads of which are not part of the Cabinet, but who are under the full authority of the President. The President also appoints the heads of more than 50 independent federal commissions, such as the Federal Reserve Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as federal judges, ambassadors, and other federal offices. The Executive Office of the President (EOP) consists of the immediate staff to the President, along with...

Remember how 'they' were 'ready' for the outgoing Trump Administration?
>Lawfare, Democracy & Elections, What Rules Apply to Government Records During a Presidential Transition? Jeremy Gordon, December 9, 2020
The current risk of document destruction warrants an explanation of an outgoing administration's legal obligations to preserve government records and what happens to one administration's records after its successor takes office.
Published by The Lawfare Institute in Cooperation With Brookings

May the President & Vice President Elect NOT forget the
U. S. Government General Services Administration & keep a watchful eye during the transition, for contract review, the storage of foreign gifts to U.S. dignitaries, and more.
Office of the Administrator overview
Robin Carnahan is the current GSA Administrator.
The agency was established on July 1, 1949, when President Harry S. Truman signed the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act into law.
The GSA Administrator oversees a federal agency of about 11,600 people and an annual budget of approximately $16 billion. The GSA Administrator heads one of three central management agencies in the federal government.
The administrator and the immediate management team are headquartered in our national office in Washington, D.C. We also have 11 regional offices.
Current News includes:
Federal News Network, 'Changes to GSA’s role in the presidential transition process'
The changes stem from a 2022 law that discontinued GSA's process of 'ascertainment' after GSA delayed support during the 2020 presidential transition. By Michele Sandiford, November 6, 2024

He's been rock-solid on his support for Israel, at least and he seems to have a number of disagreements with his party.
Securing coal and Steel jobs in Pennsylvania is going to be on the Trump agenda so maybe he can genuinely be worked with.

The state is overrun, the wealthy have pushed them into towns and townships which cannot afford them for housing, food, education.
The concessions by state have been it's silly Boards of Health which have set-up separate, 'affordable' health programs at cost payer expense while other long established areas are becoming medical care/healthcare deserts, especially for older residents.
BTW, his wife (who I do happen to like) was once undocumented, as were her mom and brother.
