I was at this bar the other night and this bartendress looked EXACTLY like Ivanka Trump.
I mean exactly. I said, you probably get "Ivanka Trump" a lot, right? She said, yeah. I said I heard that some people cut their hair and stuff NOT to look like Ivanka. She says, why would they do that? First, I'm Canadian, I don't care. And second, she's a beautiful woman, so why wouldn't I want to be compared to her? So, first of all, not everyone in the world is insane. Second, NO, I did not cook pancakes, that is not on my radar. Posted by: blaster at March 23, 2017 09:27 AM (tewYv) 9

On communications intercepts:
The claim is that it was an "incidental" interception. This is the first step of the admission that ends with "You're G-d D-mn right I ordered the code red - I mean, the communications intercept on Trump!" Posted by: *Mikey NTH - Spring Sale!

All those sunflowers. Must be SC. Farmers used to be big in planting huge fields of those here. They attract doves like all get-out but make it hard to find them after you shoot them. So you need a dog.

Lovely!
One great thing about going to France and exploring some of the places where impressionist paintings were done was to see that the bright sun and colors are fairly true to their surroundings. Arles was gloriously bright and colorful, quite a starting point/inspiration for someone like Van Gogh. Posted by: Lizzy at March 23, 2017 09:39 AM (NOIQH) 53

I just saw the link below about the alphabet networks not covering the rape at Rockville High School. This happened in the DC suburbs. What happens in the DC suburbs makes the national news. If this had happened in Missouri or Iowa or Idaho it might not come to the attention of the networks. But there is no way the networks are not aware of this. It happened in their backyard. Not covering it is a deliberate attempt to ignore it because it doesn't fit their narrative.

@75 not only does it not fit the narrative, it would lend credence to Trump. Trump can NOT be right. Ever. So they cannot report it.
Interesting here is that the head of the school board is puzzled as to why people are blaming him. Why is this on us, he says? His weasel words are well ICE caught the one kid at the border in August, they are not doing their job. Local radio points out though that it is a virtual certainty that this guy is not in favor of ICE doing its job at the border, certainly is not in favor of The Wall, and the like. Plus, Montgomery County is the bluest of blue areas. These people are very, very liberal. He was voted in to have those policies. And now, suddenly, the people are mad at him. I am pretty sure that not everyone in Rockville who is upset that a 14 year old girl got raped by 2 illegal aliens in the school is a Trump voter. So, I think he kind of has a point. Why are these folks mad at me for having an 18 year old illegal alien who does not speak English in school as a Freshman? This is the stuff they want!

Monet's paintings of his gardens always catch my eye. As much as I like the careful detail in the works from earlier this week, Monet's use of color and its placement within the painting is enchanting. The brush strokes are loose and not hard edged, even the house roof line is gentle, giving the 'impression' of early summer bounty. It isn't the individual plants that matter but their overall massed effect.
What makes this painting so appealing to me is the way he used blue to tie the elements in the scene together. The deep azure sky (a very appealing shade) is reflected in the splashes of other blue shades in the blossoms, on the ground, the ceramic planters, subtle use on the house, even in the clothing of the otherwise indistinct people. It all derives from that gorgeous, rich sky. Although they are seldom mixed here, the blue combined with the other bright color, deep yellow, together suggest the green that must be present to some degree. The whole painting speaks of the gentle warmth of summer that can produce such a garden. Thanks, CBD. We got below freezing last night and I have a lousy head cold so this image is especially pleasant. In keeping with art thread tradition, I will point out there are so many places for the sniper to hide. Posted by: JTB at March 23, 2017 09:53 AM (V+03K) 104

Plus, Montgomery County is the bluest of blue areas. These people are very, very liberal. He was voted in to have those policies. And now, suddenly, the people are mad at him.

Made my neck hairs stand up, you did. I thought you meant the old Mackinaw, now a floating museum. She was built at "ToolyShip." Until they dynamited the pig-iron furnaces, I could see the yard from my house. In a bar on the east side, I was once dared to shake hands with "Hard Hands" Borics, who built her and was locked out on deck in a squall by his mates on her shakedown cruise.

Why are bass players the butt of so many musician jokes?
Posted by: Duncanthrax Comically large genitals, of course. Little worn down by overuse. In your first garage band, the rhythm guitar player is the smart guy. He has to know chords. Probably takes lessons. Lead player can pick out one note at a time, but (1)has to have enough money to buy an amp that will feed back and (2)it has to sound something like the record, eventually. Bass player only has to play one note at a time, for 100 years there were only four strings to choose from, and in a pinch he can fake it with a folksy oompah line that just has to be in the right key. And that reputation stays with you as you work solos written by Buell Niedlinger. You can air-practice on a long shovel handle. Until you get up the neck, which makes the surveyor look at you funny.

The house was a dump and the gardens were a mess. Both of them worked on the house and gardens for decades. Then when he had money he bought it. He regarded the gardens as his best work really. He married this lady when their kids were getting marriageable ages and they were afraid their un-wedded status would hurt the kids. Go see it in person if you ever have the chance.

Story in Breitbart about the EPA determining, during the Obama reign, that a watershed in CA in Orange County needed to be "rewilded" and have three manmade dams removed that were built in the 40s-70s to create trout ponds, and provide water for fire suppression Environmental wackos are all for removing dams and returning creeks and rivers back to their natural state, until it affects one of their favorite nature trails. They are livid with the EPA"s actions, which despite Trump's order to remove the EPA's authority to regulate every mudpuddle, is going forward this week with Marines blowing up the dams.
Doing so released tons of silt built up in the ponds which washed downstream and killed frogs, newts, and other assorted protected critters.

Candle light vigils, making hearts of of hands, babbling multicultural nonsense---these are the gestures of LOSERS, the useless exercises of SURRENDER. Hopkins concludes that liberals don't want to face the truth about Jihad because it would then lead them to conclude that their liberal-left worldview is bullshit. True. But I think it's deeper that. By denying reality, they never have to face what the their true response should be--which would be banning, deporting, imprisoning and in some cases, outright executing.....

the House Of York will do as well as the Stuarts. Bonus: their line is alive in Australia which is a Crown dominion. means they didn't swear an oath to a foreign power (as was the case in the "King Ralph" hypothetical).

I think the Queen is a good Queen who loves England and loves her faith. I also think she is about two hundred years old and frail. She has handed off most of her duties to others. She has no Parliamentary powers, and only has minimal input into the actual running of the country. She did good work during the War, and now she's mostly waiting to go home.

Love that shade of blue of the sky.
Question, perhaps dumb, but I am, after all, a moron. Rich Lowery in a column this week said it was basically a fact that the Russians would have preferred Hilary! to have been elected. I don't get it. Hilary sold them uranium. They know she is crooked and can be bribed. I have never heard of her as being a particularly tough negotiator. Socialist in all but name. She could be expected to continue Obama's foreign policy of appeasement and leading from behind. She gave Russia the reset button even if she was too dumb to get it right. Much more "known" quantity as per her track record as SoS and uranium deal. OTOH, other than Trump's tweets about having some respect for Putin, what is there for Russia to love? As compared to Hilary!, seemingly much tougher negotiator. Not a guy who I have heard gives up much ground (I've read three of his books and several about him from people who didn't care for him), even when pushed. Pretty tireless and relentless. Hates socialism and communism. Much more active defender of America and our value system. A bit of a wild card. What am I missing? Why would Russia want to deal with Trump rather than her?

Hopkins concludes that liberals don't want to face the truth about Jihad because it would then lead them to conclude that their liberal-left worldview is bullshit. True.
But I think it's deeper that. By denying reality, they never have to face what the their true response should be--which would be banning, deporting, imprisoning and in some cases, outright executing..... -- They became mentally ill after 9/11. Afraid to fight Islam, so they fought Bush. Obama told them that there was no terrorism, so they felt they were safe. Trump is now dealing with reality, and they are scared again.

Speaking of Renoir, he and Monet were actually pretty good friends - it's interesting to see when they both did paintings of the same subject, how their techniques differ.
As I'm sure TJM knows, Renoir had a very talented bloodline, as his son Jean is one of the most renowned directors in French cinematic history. Jean's nephew Claude (who very well may have been named after Monet) was a bit less renowned, but he was a cinematographer who most famously worked on a few Bond films - The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

448: Thanks. My read of Putin is that while he's a corrupt scumbag and autocrat, he's more or less sane with rational goals. Beyond some nebulous ideal of "Russian Greatness" he's not really an ideologue. An American President who approaches foreign affairs from a "Does this help American/NATO/Allied/etc. security/trade/etc.?" perspective is much preferred to a president who is reactive and acts based on their domestic poll numbers. Factor in Hillary's, ahem, "volatility", and one could imagine the Kremlin preferring Trump. Yeah, they might not get away with as much as they did over the past 8 years, but at least they won't make things worse.

I think the Queen is a good Queen who loves England and loves her faith. I also think she is about two hundred years old and frail. She has handed off most of her duties to others. She has no Parliamentary powers, and only has minimal input into the actual running of the country. She did good work during the War, and now she's mostly waiting to go home.
Posted by: grammie winger at March 23, 2017 10:51 AM (lwiT4) Actually, I just saw a photo last week of Elizabeth out horseback riding to celebrate her 93rd? birthday. She's not that frail, although she did have a serious problem with pneumonia or some upper respiratory illness this fall that required substitutes to fill in for her. I think, Grammie, she provides "advice" to the PM, but rarely speaks to the public about events. The Monarchy in GB is almost all symbolic at this point in time, as she has zero powers to pass any kind of legislation, dictates, etc. She posted a message of sympathy at 1pm GB time today and thanked the Metropolitan Police for their work in protecting the British people. She also apologized to the Scotland Yard for the cancellation of her presence yesterday at the grand opening of their new facility, which was necessary due to the attack. She was going to be there to cut the ribbon or something. Posted by: Jen at March 23, 2017 11:28 AM (9z842) 494

Posted by: OregonMuse, deplorable since 2004 at March 23, 2017 11:32 AM (qmspf) ------------ Just a thought here. Wouldn't she HAVE to say it this way? Isn't speaking directly about islamic terror speaking badly of Islam and, I believe, that's against the law in GB. She was was saying what she was lawfully allowed to say.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with people? Stockholm syndrome?
Posted by: rickb223 ---- Nope. Stubbornness. At this point in time they have held that "Islam is the Religeon of Peace" for so long and are so far down that road that there is no way in Hell they are going to reverse themselves and admit that knuckle dragging window lickers like you and me were right, despite any evidence to the contrary.

"This act of terror was not an act of faith."
FFS, many Muslims do in fact read the Koran to mean it was an act of faith, with a reward to follow. Professing religion is not a get out of jail free card Posted by: Ignoramus at March 23, 2017 11:41 AM (SIY7D) 536

"Not if you're worried that Globalism will eventually eat your country too.
Flip it around ... who do we want in Russia. Putin the Nationalist, or an Obama-esque Globalist ?. I'll take Putin. Posted by: ScoggDog yeah, Tom on Red Eye says Putin was mainly going after Hillary because it seemed clear she would win. Comey says Putin really hated Hillary so wanted to help Trump. Yet Hillary did some grand deals with Russians for $$$, like the uranium and Skolkovo (perhaps a bigger deal than the uranium). Then there are the Podesta dealings in Russia. But it does seem the globalists versus "nationalists" is the bigger issue. Hillary/Soros/Merkel/Cameron seemed fine with regime change in Libya, knowing full well that would flood Europe with a million young male Muslims (few women and children). Their globalist intent seems clear ... it is anti-Western civ, anti-American(ist). Comey also said Wikileaks did not get their info from Russia ... there was at least a third party, but "no evidence" the easy Podesta scheme involved Russia at all. The DNC refused to cooperate with the FBI, while the RNC opened up servers and wanted the help. China and NK would probably love for US to make war with Russia a top priority. But peace is more likely if we give the people their nation states back, which means defeating the EU unelected bureaucrats and all their billionaire rat friends, Soros maybe at the top. CFR is maybe the US version of the EU, but with less direct legal authority. But they are entrenched. Posted by: illiniwek at March 23, 2017 11:42 AM (BrMft) 540

523 About MSM wanting to destroy Trump. Here's a repost from August:
"Last week I posted about a telling article in the NY Times about what's really going on: "Democrats, Looking Past Mere Victory, Hope to End the Trump Movement." It quotes David Plouffe, President Obama's former campaign manager: "It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again." That's how the core opposition thinks Posted by: Ignoramus at March 23, 2017 11:36 AM (SIY7D) -------- It also explains why the Obama WH wanted surveillance on Trump. They want every ounce of dirt they could get to discredit him. Posted by: WisRich at March 23, 2017 11:42 AM (hdpay) 544
Pathological altruism. It's epidemic. Underlies all politically correct thought.
Posted by: Mike Hammer Some say Ayn Rand was no philosopher. I disagree, but, she's an epistemological Kantian, and she wouldn't like hearing that. And, I mean really not like.

522: Drunken ignorant nutbar who bases her moves on "will this be enough to insulate me from a domestic accusation of weakness" vs. a fellow teetotaler who, while hard on your expansion is also rational. Which would you choose?
That does not mean Putin interfered though, just that he probabaly took a lot of amusement when Hillary started to run into trouble in late October last year. That's all. Posted by: Jackal at March 23, 2017 11:45 AM (umvWu) 547
Adding: "This act of terror was not an act of faith. It was a perversion; a warped ideology, Beleving if you die fighting the infidel you'll punch your own ticket to paradise is in the koran and is therefore an act of faith.

Very pretty painting. Lovely colors. Perfect for a gloomy gray winter morning. Of course, for the hottest days of summer, you would want the contrast of majestic, snow capped mountain peaks and a high alpine valley as an escape from the sweltering heat of in the low lands.

"I thought he was from somewhere in Eastern Europe, like Poland or Czechoslovakia. When he told us he was from Portugal, I was quite surprised."
Sarah Hoyt, author and Instapundit cob-logger, is from Portugal and hears that all the time, she says. YouTuber RitaGamer is also from Portugal, and to my ears sounds Eastern European, but since she broke her engagement to the Mighty Jingles I have no respect for her.

Great story at Legal Insurrection, including recounting all the leftist screams and articles that the bomb threats were Trumps fault for fomenting anti Semitism.

I love this painting. The vertical chaos of the sunflowers is beautifully captured. Although they are not strictly trees, and Monet is really pushing the limits by insisting only on annuals here, it still works. Genius will out, I suppose.
The only problem I have with it is the narration of the picture. What is that blocky white thing center right. Plus the pink white ? architectural ornaments? on the steps look odd. They don't look functional or decorative. Get rid of them. Also, the cabin in the background could be smaller. A little cabin is always nice.
