On The First Day After Christmas My True Love Gave To Me: An ONT!
Hello everyone! Hope y'all had a happy Christmas.
See No Evil
The depravity the contemporary Left willfully overlooks
Now, accusing your neighbor of being a moral degenerate is generally frowned upon. For good reason. In the real world, we still need to live together peacefully. And anyway, my liberal acquaintances and friends are delightful people. It is because my liberal friends are delightful people that I must assume they are being willfully blind to the numerous depravities of the contemporary Left. Indeed, one of the biggest clues that Democrats are increasingly uneasy about the morality of progressive social policies is the pervasive use of euphemisms. Take what is perhaps the most pernicious Orwellian phrase in American life: “gender-affirmation care.” Though Google AI assures me the process “helps people live as their authentic gender, rather than the gender they were assigned at birth,” I suspect most normies don’t really buy into this rubbish. Your “authentic” gender is the one you’re born with, as we all know, which is no more “assigned” to you than your IQ or hair color. We have no obligation to deny objective truths. You are, of course, free to disagree with me. No one is stopping you from seeking out “gender-affirmation care.” But one of the duties of a civilized people is protecting children from violence. If you tolerate children being subjected to needless life-altering surgery and synthetic drugs that destroy their development, you are abetting state-sanctioned child abuse. It is evil, no matter how benign its official description.I don't get it myself, but I'm not sure what it is with liberals. Take the trans issue for example. I'm told that these people need to be given drugs or surgery because the stress of “living in the wrong body” is such that many of them will attempt suicide. Wow. That sounds serious. So I look up the stats, and lo and behold it seems that 40% of those who mutilate their bodies in the name of “affirming” their gender later attempt suicide. Whoa. Looks like the mutilation isn't solving the problem. Maybe there's something else going on. How hard is that? But for these hardliner libs, and I'm not talking about activists, just normal libs, treat any questioning of the narrative as heresy. Why? Group think? Tribal identification? I'm really not sure.
Buh-Bye
Homan Threatens Funding for States that Impede Deportation — ‘That’s Going to Happen’
“They can beat their chest to be sanctuary cities all they want,” he continued. “They’re part of the United States, whether they like it or not. This is a federal issue. Even the governor of Texas, he’s the one trying to enforce federal law against the Biden administration that won’t. But these states, much like the Confederacy, they want to go on their own, they want to do their own thing. To me, you’ve got a powerful weapon among others, which is, OK, no federal funds. Boom. Last thoughts.” “And that’s going to happen,” Homan replied. “I guarantee you, President Trump will do that. But secondly, this administration has turned this world upside down, so now I’m being attacked, right? I’ve got death threats. My family is not even living in my home right now. So all of a sudden, the guys who want to enforce the law are the bad guys; the guys who break the law are the victims. And for those mayors and those governors who say they’re going to stop me from — and stop ICE from doing their job, stop me from doing this job, listen to the Laken Riley tape.”I sincerely hope that this isn't all bukkake theater. I know what I said.
Tonight's Question
Bye Bye Base How Democrats Lost Their Base and Their Message
In each campaign, win or lose, Mr. Trump made major inroads among longtime Democratic voters. First, it was the Northern white working class. Then, it was Hispanic and Asian voters in 2020. Finally, it was young voters and, to a lesser extent, Black voters. In each case, Mr. Trump’s gains went far beyond what Democrats had ever imagined.The question is, is this a Trump specific pattern, or will the right be able to keep some of those voters in '26 and beyond?
Even at the times Mr. Trump made relatively few gains — say, among Hispanic voters in 2016 or Black voters in 2020 — Democrats nonetheless underperformed. In 2016, despite a campaign dominated by Mr. Trump’s inflammatory comments about immigrants and Mexicans, Hillary Clinton failed to improve over Barack Obama’s performance among Hispanic voters. Democrats then lost ground among them in 2018. Similarly, Democratic support among Black voters fell in 2020, and the Black share of the electorate declined as well, despite the outpouring of activism in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Black turnout then slipped yet again in 2022.
The overarching pattern is clear. In election after election, Democrats underperformed among traditional Democratic constituencies during the Trump era. Sometimes, it was merely a failure to capitalize on his unpopularity. Other times, it was a staggering decline in support. Together, it has shattered Democratic dreams of building a new majority with the rise of a new generation of young and nonwhite voters.
This overarching pattern requires an overarching explanation: Mr. Trump’s populist conservatism corroded the foundations of the Democratic Party’s appeal. It tapped into many of the issues and themes that once made these voters Democrats.
While the damage was mostly concealed by Mr. Trump’s unpopularity, the backlash to his norm-shattering presidency drew the Democratic Party even further from its traditional roots. The extent of that damage is now clear.

Get Off My Lawn 50 Times Old People Were Completely And Totally Inappropriate On The Internet This Year
The Enemy Within Tearing Leviathan Apart
First, on Day 1 of his second term, Trump must fire via his Reduction in Force authority 200,000 federal employees, preferably at the GS-12 and 13 levels. Of course the federal employee unions, which should cease to exist, will sue for a stay. That case will likely wind its way through the courts for 18 months or so (unless the Supreme Court fast tracks it). But once it reaches the SCOTUS, the fundamental question to be asked is: can the head of the Executive Branch, the duly elected President of the US, hire or fire whoever he pleases as per the Constitution? Or do the extra Constitutional statutes and regulations protecting the civil servants supersede the Constitution? With this SCOTUS, the odds are they will side with the originalism of the Constitution and give the President the right to hire and fire whoever he pleases inside the Executive Branch, where most of the Administrative State resides. Then Trump becomes the Demolition Man for at least the last two years of his Administration: firing large swaths of the federal government and shutting down departments and agencies. Most importantly in that process, removing those positions from the federal rolls and imploding the buildings he’s emptied and building a Freedom Park (or parks) over the top. Perhaps he even creates the monument he envisioned in July of 2020 and places the statues of our great American heroes over the remains of the Administrative State.The swamp is the predictable result of having a “professional” civil service. I've long said the patronage system was far preferable. Most folks look at me like I'm crazy.

Studies have shown for years that "transgender" people who mutilate their bodies are no less depressed and no less suicidal after surgery.
After all, you don't really change genders by having the surgery, and realizing that you've mutiliated yourself for no reason doesn't help your emotional equilibrium.
I read a thing a few months ago when a tranny was sitting next to a table of 20-something women, who were effortlessly discussing jobs and clothes and boyfriends, and was absolutely consumed with rage realizing that he could never, ever, pretend to be 1% as feminine as these women so effortlessly were.

Two reasons, one philosophical and one practical.
On the practical level the left has been successful only in being completely dogmatic and hierarchical. Whether or not an individual leftist really believes in tranny ideology or not their leaders have. Challenging this then opens up the possibility of conservatives "winning" which must be stopped at all costs because history can only go in one direction.
Then on the philosophical level the left has come to believe reality is merely a shared illusion. So what isn't a trans-woman actually a woman? Well because YOU PEOPLE won't believe she is. If you could be forced to thing the correct way, well, then she would be. So the problem isn't that it is physically impossible to become a woman, the problem is that you are racist, sexist, and anti-trans...

I've noticed of late the claim that tariffs will raise costs for consumers. Well...duh? The nominal point of taxes is to take money from taxpayers and give it to the government to spend on all the crap the government spends money on.
So does a tariff take money from taxpayers? Sure. But so do our current income, sales, capital gains, etc etc etc taxes.
The question is what form of taxes is "best". And honestly penalizing people for buying foreign goods seems a lot better then penalizing people for working, investing, or owning real estate...

"The decay of our healthcare system continues. For the first time in US history, life expectancy is dropping. Last year I took a cue from Gretchen Morgenson’s and Josh Rosner’s These are the Plunderers and wailed on the swath of destruction to the healthcare system by the private equity Borg. Monetary policy incentivizes private equity strip-mining of companies by making capital too cheap. When you buy up hospitals, sell off their assets, and sell the shells to dumb money with a 47% probability of bankruptcy down the road, you are a menace to society. Healthcare is now almost completely corporatized, which means that there is a big middleman who wants the Big Vig. Doctors must act in the corporate interests by upselling costly tests and treatments. "

Trump wasn't "norm-shattering" in his first term. Nor was he "unpopular" - notwithstanding a non-stop insane tsunami of lies and propaganda against him replacing what was once a "press". And no people didn't become Dems in the first place because of basic common sense on borders and rule of law in immigration (which isn't "populist"), or reciprocal trade and other policies delivering real household income gainzz for the lower income tiers in decades, or any other policies people welcomed.
None of these had been any part of any Dem campaign or administration in living memory (unless you count the laughably dishonest border common sense from Clinton, which of course lacked any reflection whatsoever in actual policy or results).

This crap is presented as factual, and anyone who disagrees is not only wrong, but dangerous. This stuff is pushed in the news, movies, and tv shows. It is constant and unremitting.

IMHO, Vance could be seen as the continuation of Trump, so successfully run for 2 terms. OTOH, there are others who, while not seen as Trump replacements, could also win elections as long as they're seen as transformational in the way Trump has been.

I've gotten into it with some leftists over the years about stuff they believe now that they would have considered to be right wing conspiracy theories 20 years ago - and the tranny stuff is a very obvious example of this.
The formal answer they give (which as you note they get from the FNM) is that they've "grown" and know more now than they did then. To which I always ask, "What issues right now that you consider crazy and offensive will you grow to believe over the next 20 years? And is the current you ok with the things you apparently will believe in the future?"
That usually ends the conversation of course...

America in 1972 and 1980 had candidates/presidents who were reviled and poorly treated by the press. But lots of other turning wheels that were much different and completely lacking today. Nonetheless, those candidates won historic landslides, winning nearly every state. That electorate marinated in media nonsense - and easily disregarded it when it mattered.
It's probably impossible and not worth trying to figure out just how otherwise functional people could imagine voting for such absurd candidates as Obama, Biden, or Harris. It's just the burden and defect deforming the country, and only good fortune avoids the consequences of such voters behaving the way they do.

One explanation is that the number of people who can think both creatively and can also backcheck assumptions is much lower than the population that goes to college to get certifications in areas that demand the ability to think creatively and to check assumptions. The outcome is that this cohort does not really understand what they have been taught, and pretty much only have their learned responses and the external direction of thought leaders to direct them, and this sort of externalization of understanding and morality causes a lot of the wild stampedes and swings. Add to that the lack of real positions of the newly minted certified class, and they both are looking to find some group to colonize, to be bought off for being irritating, and remove superiors for "crimes" to open positions up for them.

Setup: There was discussion after Thanksgiving about sweet potatoes and how many people don't like the two default ways (with marshmallows and as pie).
Someone mentioned "inventing" a recipe using pineapple and cranberries. I wish I could remember who, but I just copied the comment and not the poster.
So I decided to hold onto that until Christmas and try it.
Well, congratulations, whoever-you-were, it was well liked. (One person commented the sweet potatoes should have been mashed and I said that would have missed the point.) I used cammed pineapple rings, but will use chunks next time.
I used allspice instead of ground cardamom (because I didn't have any). And I added half a cup of OJ just because I had it there.

You don't like asparagus? I can understand the other two, though I love both, but asparagus? I have a clear broth asparagus soup recipe I made/created, using my stick blender. Delicious. I think Brussels sprouts get a bad rap because nobody knows how to cook them or the only ones they've had were frozen (which are horrid!). But fresh ones are great if you put the right ingredients/cooking method with them, pretty much like anything else. And I like a simple pan-sauteed broccoli with just olive oil, garlic, chili flakes and lemon juice/zest, topping each serving with whatever grated Italian hard cheese you have handy.
Posted by: RickZ at December 26, 2024 10:52 PM (gKDq2)
Most bone broths are not flavorful, but they do give a nice feel to any gravy or sauce you make with them. I will sometimes make a fake rissoto using bone broth in place of water, it makes it tasty.

I have an unfortunate friend, was an Olympic class athlete in her youth.
She had years of trouble with her sinuses, blamed everything from wood smoke to food of every kind.
Finally decided she had egg /dairy allergies, celiac etc. Her diet became very regimented and it was exceedingly difficult to host her for meals of any kind. Going out to dinner was an ordeal. Talk about taking a microscope to the restaurant menu, sheesh.
She sadly came down with dementia in the past few years. She has completely forgotten about her "allergies". She eats anything put in front of her, has gained 20 pounds, (was way underweight) and surprise , surprise, has had zero ill effects from her new unrestricted diet.
I don't mean to mock her, but I think it is a profound statement regarding this new 1st world problem of being excessively picky about one's food choices.
It might suggest a lot of it could be generated by the mind.

"Need" is a strong and historically inaccurate choice of words there.
"Prefer" might be better, but the bottom line is that peaceful relations have to be based on something in common beyond a general desire to avoid unpleasantness. Given the attitudes of the Left, I don't have any confidence that we even have a mutual desire to live in peace with each other, much less maintain the purposes for which this country was founded.

True.
I've also said if you know what something is made of before you try the dish, you're mind makes preconceptions.
This one time, I was out on my birthday in a foreign country. The gentlemen I was with ordered a parilla mixto, a mixed grill of various grilled meats served at the table on a warming habachi-type metal whatever. I told them, don't tell me what I'm eating. Took a bite, didn't like it. What is it? Lung. Don't like lung. Took a bite of a different cut. Liked it. What is it? Stomach. Said, 'I like grilled stomach' as I took another bite. Who knew? Sure as hell not me. Preconceptions.

You don't like asparagus? I can understand the other two, though I love both, but asparagus? I have a clear broth asparagus soup recipe I made/created, using my stick blender. Delicious. I think Brussels sprouts get a bad rap because nobody knows how to cook them or the only ones they've had were frozen (which are horrid!). But fresh ones are great if you put the right ingredients/cooking method with them, pretty much like anything else. And I like a simple pan-sauteed broccoli with just olive oil, garlic, chili flakes and lemon juice/zest, topping each serving with whatever grated Italian hard cheese you have handy.

Grilled asparagus is fantastic; very much like grilling improves Brussels Sprouts. I cannot understand, however, how asparagus makes your pee stink so quickly. There must be some way that the drug industry can take advantage of that.

Mexican food - which goes far far beyond the border and fusion food most people know - is clearly the king of Latin American cuisines. South American food I've had was solid and good comfort food, but mostly Euro in nature. Thick lome cut and local malbec in Argentina, wonderful.
Brazil does have some regional variety of interest (as well as excellent straight out Italian, German, Japanese food - assimilation has been weak down south, so the European stuff can be very good). Minas Gerais has some excellent bean dishes. Bahia is the more exotic one, some excellent stuff with a tropical/African influence. But red palm oil (dende) is not everyone's cup of tea, and it's part of most signature stuff from Bahia.

Polenta. It wasn't in my family's diet from the Old Country, but later Italians raved about it. When I tried it (twice), I decided it was a poor-person's substitute for veal or pork medallions.
Arugula. It tastes like dandelions, which are a lot less expensive and fresher since I get them from my lawn just before preparing dinner.

I've had restaurant and homemade ceviche (by a Peruvian in-law of the ex). Why warned? Ceviche is good stuff. But I'm one of those 'anything with octopus is usually pretty good' type of people. The homemade had a lot of shrimp with some fish, it was the restaurant ceviche that had the sliced octopus.

Anyone who was actually watching what was happening instead of relying on the media to tell them what was happening knew the race wasn't close.
The Democrat Party is in taters after Obama forced them into identity politics and a reliance on election fraud. It was always going to implode, all it took was someone who was willing to give them the finger and fight.
We got cheated out of Trump the first time around by idiotic hoaxes and massive election fraud. Just made us stronger. Now we get to party.

I have the Uruguayan/Argentinian baked type of empanada, which I prefer. I've had the Colombian fried corn empanada and it didn't do anything for me. I guess I don't like fried empanadas. I find the baked style to be not as greasy, especially if the place properly drains the meat before wrapping and baking. The place down the block (Uruguayan) are really dry inside, almost crumbly not greasy in the least. They use chopped green olives and chopped boiled egg slices along with seasoned meat in their mix. Simple. A meat calzone without cheese. Good 'hand food'. Just add Tabasco.

The Orthodox churches (Greek, Russian, Serbian, etc) celebrate Christmas on Dec 25th on the Julian calendar, which this year is Jan 7th. Look up Julian vs Grogorian calendars for a complete explanation.
Epiphany occurs on Jan 6th, which is traditionally celebrated on the 12th Night, which is when the Wise Men (Magi) finally showed up. Unlike many morons, they had a real excuse - it was a long trip and camels aren't fast. Many cultures do the gift trading bit on this date.

A big 2 kg tin was about 400-450 USD on the "black" or free exchange rate.
I would buy a business class ticket to DC, and sell them to caterers for 5000 or 5500.
Who then sold it to people for weddings, receptions, etc. for about 10k.
One of my first realizations that people in DC have far too much money.

No doubt about it, for me sushi became an acquired taste over a long period of time. But after a while, the raw oyster-eating part of me said 'why not try some raw fish'? Came to really like it. My favorite was a joint in Jersey that had the best unagi or smoked eel sushi I ever had. Okay, not raw but best smoked eel period. Crispy delicate skin with a soft, buttery meat. Absolutely delicious. Over 30 years on, never found any as good since. I also like raw salmon and tuna, don't get me wrong, but that smoked eel was memorable.
