Saturday Morning Weird News Dump
[X] Coffee
[X] Sassy Pants
[X] Smart Ass Attitude All set, must be Saturday morning. Welcome the the weird news dump.
Here are just a few items that didn't get quite enough attention here at the AoSHQ this past week. Head shaking is optional.
- Cheese makes hot fires. Who knew?
- Local basement savers don't save toilet.
- Clear coffee? Yeah, get back to me on that.
- Good times to end for MI cops.
- Craft Beer Association should change their name to Beer Nannies.
- Obviously they weren't that good.
- Talk about being a dumb shit.
- Odessa, TX won't be having a mosquito problem anytime soon.
- Move over Rin-Tin-Tin.
- The Japanese keep getting stranger and stranger.
- Pay back is a bitch.
Just remember pants are optional during this open thread. Play nice Morons and have a great weekend.

Note to the Morons, Amazon has the Kindle book The Worsts Hard Times on sale today for $1.99. This is a good book that talks about the dust bowl and the depression.

Whoa whoa whoa
Shit status, real
Proud Boys is an alt right group started by Gavin McInnes as a mens rights/anti rad fem group. Proud boys have acted as security escorts for right speakers before.
Based Stickman, the iconic alt right protestor made famous in the first Berkeley riots, (see side bar) is forming the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights or FOAK. They are partnering with Proud Boys
They will act as a paramilitary protective group at speeches and demonstrations when local authorities have been issued stand down orders or refused to act to protect the right.
A paramilitary protection force is being created because civil authorities have refused to protect the rights of the people

"A paramilitary protection force is being created because civil authorities have refused to protect the rights of the people "
This evolution was predicted by the left many years ago.
I brought this up yesterday, that I would have much rather seen the President federalize the applicable National Guard units, and enforce protection of those exercising their constitutional rights.
Kennedy did it in Alabama in 1963, during desegregation, and the left lauds him for those forceful actions to protect our civil rights.

From the last thread:
Baltimore Sun and probably other Tribune papers:
Thousands of scientists are expected to converge on the National Mall
for the march, which is being held on the 47th observance of Earth Day.
Organizers called for the event amid what they call "an alarming trend
toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific
discovery."
It might rain on their parade....MSM will inflate the number by 10X. Show the National Mall full to over flowing.

The use of the National Guard gives at least the impression that we retain a vestige of the trappings of a "Nation of Laws". Private security groups enforce the notion that "you are on your own!".

What was discredited was the lie that said there was a "consensus" on AGW. And the AGW scam has nothing to do with "science".

While a part of me agrees with the desire to allow (Not cause, but allow) that, I believe that a clear strong message displaying a commitment to the constitution, and that we are indeed a nation of laws is more and more important at this point in our nations history.

Good on the guy with the building shaker. At one point during my Nashville days, I had a noisy upstairs neighbor who insisted on playing movies and music with the bass thumping. After months of going upstairs and politely asking him to turn down the volume I finally struck back.
I was a musician. I had a PA system for shows. I hooked it up to my home sound system and pointed the speakers upwards with them leaning against the walls for maximum vibratory effect. Then I played the artillery barrage from the movie Gettysburg over and over again. (This: https://youtu.be/RrY81GZgrtg )
After about 30 minutes he came down, knocked on my door, and said, "OK, you win."
Never had another noise issue with him.

This is why homosexuals need special protections in the law. We have to stop the h8te! It kills!"

I had the link to that laying around here, and now I can't find it.
Pretty much an online application for a permit to gather.
And one of the lines addressed the question of a desire to have symbolic arrests.
And if so, where, when and how many?
Would that in and of itself be creating Fake News?

Not a word said about what the "plan" was, but evidently, the "plan" was so fucking awesome that the "plan" proves that EPA is absolutely essential to keep in place.

LaGarde dispenses with the subtleties exhibited by the US Fed and says in plain language they are gonna fuck France up real good if the citizens don't elect the European Supreme Council's choice for President.
Meanwhile in the US, the Fed with Lt Yellen as commander officer tells her troops to hold fire, wait, wait until you see the midterms in full swing then empty your magazines and fire the 1/2 point bazooka at the US economic tank.
Reserve bank executive veto is different from Iran's Supreme Council exactly how?

50 Last week my mom put her house up for sale. She had 7 showings by Friday afternoon. Friday night she sold it for full asking price. The problem is, she now has no place to live. She anticipated getting another house and it fell through. She leaves for Phoenix today to start looking again.
Posted by: grammie winger at April 22, 2017 09:24 AM (lwiT4)
We're in a similar situation. Put our house up on Monday, had 7 showings Monday (and got our first offer). Accepted an offer on Wednesday. We're hoping to put in an offer on a house soon. Luckily closing for our house won't be until June.

That gives you a little breathing room then. Sellers like buyers who don't have to wait till their own house sells. Mom has 60 days. So I hope she finds a nice place in Phoenix she can move right into. The hitch is that my dad is in a nursing home and we have to get him out there somehow, and in another nursing facility.

They really went kookoo bananas with "High Tension"
a French horror flick from what?...2005.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeWLc4UdL8s
It's a pretty good horror movie of the unstoppable stalker with a knife variety, however-
our betters were so "outraged" by the twist that they tried to kill the movie by universally pissing on it and revealing the twist upfront.

He's been consistently critical of China, especially over their treatment of Tibet. He deserves kudos for that.
But I find it kind of difficult to be sympathetic after he showed his ass at the 9/11 memorial concert 16 years ago, asking for understanding and peace with the mohammedans, and calling for the US to essentially forgo vengeance.

I've been reading "Hollywood Party", about the communist party influence in Hollywood/movie making.
Right now, the book is in 1947, and once WWII was over, the party is up to disrupting the system and calling the US Government imperialist nazis.
Funny, reading this, and realizing how little things sometimes change, and how these things run in cycles. So much of the communist party inspired rhetoric then (1946-47, criticising HUAC) sounds so much like the Trump criticism floating around now. Makes you go.......hmmmmm.
Part of the story in this era is about the actors from all political spectrums (liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican) that sort of organized in the MPA to resist the communist influence. And there was this guy in SAG that was heavily involved ....Ronald Reagan.

Glen Campbell turns 81 years old today. Singer, songwriter, actor, TV presenter. Hits include 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix', 'Wichita Lineman', and 'Rhinestone Cowboy'.
As a session musician in the 1960s he worked with Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, The Monkees, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, The Mamas the Papas. He was a touring member of The Beach Boys, filling in for an ailing Brian Wilson in 1964/65.
His guitar playing can be heard on 'Strangers in the Night' by Frank Sinatra, 'You've Lost That Lovin Feelin' by The Righteous Brothers and I'm a Believer' by The Monkees.
Sadly, Glen Campbell suffers from Alzheimer's, and is unable to speak or play his guitar now.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with "artists," if that's what they are, movie/tv performers, pop musicians, being anti-war, anti-violence and all that stuff.
What I do have a problem with, is the lack of consistency from these people, and then the actual, you know, adults and serious thinkers, taking their words seriously.
Gere can be opposed to action against any particular religion. I don't have a problem with that. It's not his fault that he fails to note that THAT particular "religion" isn't really a religion but a death cult bent on killing everybody outside their organization.

Two days later, help arrived as the Environmental Protection Agency formulated a plan. Three days later, on Wednesday morning, the federal agency went to work. According to this news report, the smoke and fire have been largely quelled, but as you can see, the smoke and toxic particulate remain in the city's air.
What did they do? Smother it out by defecating on it? Sorry, not convinced. We have to weigh the damage they do and the wasted $ they represent against the possibility of coming up with alternatives. I still think we should kill it.

Good morning, friends in my computer.
It's been a hell of a week and next week looks no better. I ended up working until almost 8 last night, trying to help fix a major problem with our ERP system that has a huge impact on our manufacturing.
Basically, some "glitch" in the system happened after they did the latest patch and it is now rewriting the order of instructions on batch tickets and we can't find a way on our (RD) end to fix it so it's in the hands of the support team. Considering the order of instructions is critical to the proper manufacturing of product, this is a huge mess.
In other stupid news, my best friend's daughters are going to march today to show how much they Love Science Sexually. Ugh.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I'm not following the story, really, but I heard a report that he was actually raised in a fairly "normal" household, and the extent to which he started down the wrong path had everything to do with him wanting to fit into the thug lifestyle.
Or whatever we would call it. So a possibly naive attitude, not realizing that acting tough comes with real consequences.

Excellent. So if homophobia is to blame for this "tragedy", then it's homophobia from the "gangsta" culture, not mainstream America.

Little VIA ordered one the other day.
Purely for the purpose of pissing off the Barista.
Hard to make, time consuming, and sticky.
They hate making them.
And we had gift cards, so if we didn't use them Starbucks gets to keep the purchase price of the gift card.
So...it was a twofer.
And yes, Little VIA pretty much said Yuck as well.

OT, so Caitlyn Jenner , in his interview last night, told Diane Sawyer that if the Trump administration does anything more to "attack" the LGBTQ community, he's "coming after them".
While sitting on a coach, with a 1970's Mary Tyler Moore hairstyle, lipstick and claiming he's had his genitals removed.
He was distraught that the Trump administration had removed the directive from the Feds' that all schools should accommodate those with the same mental illness Jenner has. Said it was a "disaster".
How much do you want to bet that Kris K is facilitating these interviews so that America can see what a militant fruitcake Jenner is?

Before everyone jumps on that "Galileo Mistreated" train you should know that almost everything you have heard about it in school and on TV is BS.
The church did not persecute him because of his "planets revolve around the Sun" thing. Indeed, the leading astronomer of the day was a church official who subscribed to the same theory. It was also a rather common theory. Galileo was constantly getting in trouble because he was a loudmouth asshole who did not get along with his compatriots.
Where he got into trouble with the Church was he was restricted to his house after one of those episodes and he ignored the restriction and flaunted it.

The use of the National Guard gives at least the impression that we retain a vestige of the trappings of a "Nation of Laws". Private security groups enforce the notion that "you are on your own!".
--
I don't know what Kennedy did in Alabama, but the National Guard was called out during the riots in the 60's in Detroit.
But... as I understand it, the governor has to call on the National Guard. They just can't be sent in, there has to be an official state request for help. It might have changed, but that's the way it used to be.
As for these paramilitary groups forming... I blame Obama for all of this. Idiots voted for him to feel that they weren't racist, and I think this might be the most racially divided we've ever been. Plus he and his people are IMHO, promoting violence.

Here's the truth, and anything discussed here on AoSHQ is needfully going to be an oversimplification.
He was NOT some lone voice in the wilderness, and there WERE church members who supported his scientific inquiries.
However, the church was NOT willing to back all his theories, and decided they needed to rein him in, to let him know this science stuff was really THEIR purview, and not for laymen to get to uppity about it.
So when they decided to try him for heresy, it was as much about defying the Pope as it was the actual, you know, science, but yeah, that's the point!
We don't decide these things based on who has the authority, we don't decide these things on consensus.
The truth is the truth, and if you are using your power to suppress it, whether it's how the church did it with Galileo, or it's today, with Michael Mann putting Mark Steyn through this charade of a trial, it's essentially the same damn thing.
And in the end? It really doesn't much matter if Mann is closer to correct than his critics, or if the church was not so opposed to science as some people seem to think they were in Galileo's day.
It's the corruption of science that is the thing.

How much do you want to bet that Kris K is facilitating these interviews so that America can see what a militant fruitcake Jenner is?
________________
I was already convinced he's a creep, and it had nothing to do with his tranny crap.
Saw an interview he did (when he was still Bruce), and he dismissed his first wife (whom he'd met in college, and who had worked to support him while he trained full time for the Olympics) as a nobody.
When he was still married to his "nobody" first wife, he won the Olympic medal and became famous, and he started thinking he was the hottest thing around. He took up with Elvis' ex-girlfriend, Linda Thompson, but then went back to his first wife briefly. He unintentionally knocked up the first wife with a second baby. Bruce didn't want the baby, and tried to convince his "nobody" first wife to have an abortion. She didn't believe in abortion, and refused, and later gave birth to a girl. Bruce went back to Linda Thompson, with whom he had two sons before their short marriage imploded (due to his fantasies about being a woman).
Bruce was married to third wife Kris Kardashian (and basically ignoring his four kids by the first two wives, except for the Christmas card photos), when his daughter called and asked him for money for something. Bruce told her no, and when she asked why, he told her that he shouldn't have to give her his money, because he'd never even wanted her to be born in the first place.
His two sons by Linda Thompson say he was never really a father to them; he rarely spent any time with them, and the younger one (Brody?) says that the only father-figure he had growing up was his older brother. Bruce was apparently paying his child support obligations to his first two wives, but he wasn't doing much else -- even though his sons by Thompson lived nearby.
He's a weird and creepy person -- even without the gender freakiness.

Saw an interview he did (when he was still Bruce), and he dismissed his first wife (whom he'd met in college, and who had worked to support him while he trained full time for the Olympics) as a nobody.
When he was still married to his "nobody" first wife, he won the Olympic medal and became famous, and he started thinking he was the hottest thing around. He took up with Elvis' ex-girlfriend, Linda Thompson, but then went back to his first wife briefly. He unintentionally knocked up the first wife with a second baby. Bruce didn't want the baby, and tried to convince his "nobody" first wife to have an abortion. She didn't believe in abortion, and refused, and later gave birth to a girl. Bruce went back to Linda Thompson, with whom he had two sons before their short marriage imploded (due to his fantasies about being a woman).
Bruce was married to third wife Kris Kardashian (and basically ignoring his four kids by the first two wives, except for the Christmas card photos), when his daughter called and asked him for money for something. Bruce told her no, and when she asked why, he told her that he shouldn't have to give her his money, because he'd never even wanted her to be born in the first place.
His two sons by Linda Thompson say he was never really a father to them; he rarely spent any time with them, and the younger one (Brody?) says that the only father-figure he had growing up was his older brother. Bruce was apparently paying his child support obligations to his first two wives, but he wasn't doing much else -- even though his sons by Thompson lived nearby.
He's a weird and creepy person -- even without the gender freakiness.

But... as I understand it, the governor has to call on the National
Guard. They just can't be sent in, there has to be an official state
request for help. It might have changed, but that's the way it used to
be.
=========================
The Governor is the one to mobilize National Guard troops for in-state duty. The President is the one to federalize National Guard troops for duty overseas.

OT, so Caitlyn Jenner , in his interview last night, told Diane Sawyer that if the Trump administration does anything more to "attack" the LGBTQ community, he's "coming after them".
While sitting on a coach, with a 1970's Mary Tyler Moore hairstyle, lipstick and claiming he's had his genitals removed.
I had an idea for a new reality TV show. Jenner and a few other trannies could travel to lesbian bars all over the country and try to get dates. It could serve as an expose of transphobia in the lesbian community.

Pressuring his wife to get an abortion? Sounds like a standard issue Democrat man to me. A lot of the support for abortion comes not only from women who want "the right to control their own body", but from irresponsible men.

One final thought here: What I was taught in elementary school was essentially what I mentioned here. That the problem with how Galileo was handled at the time, was overreach by the Church. The Church was suspicious of anyone who dared to challenge their authority. That's where their sin came in. Thinking they were the only source of Truth.
And I went to a Catholic elementary school, by the way.

I agree. But in truth the whole thing was argument over power and we have to remember that the Pope in those days was a temporal ruler--a monarch who owned lands, serfs and armies of his own. Just like today, temporal rulers--elected or otherwise--hate having their authority questioned or their power usurped by their inferiors....

Numbers 5 and 6 of that National Guard pdf file might be the ones used to authorize the President to federalize NG troops for domestic insurrection.

Wasn't it President Eisenhower who Federalized the Alabama National Guard, and sent 'em to the schoolhouse steps in order to enforce de-segregation of the AL schools?
Regardless. Point is, it's legal, has been done and has historic precedent.
And given the very serious ramifications of this State University and its serious First Amendment infractions, it may just be the right situation at the right time, in the right place, to make that point again.

Good morning all! That's what I was trying to remember the other day -- Unicorn Day and Ira Einhorn. It is really bad getting old (except for the alternative) and my mind makes weird connections. Wonder how many of the demonstrators today remember old Ira and how he fled to Europe for 20-some years to avoid the murder rap.

I remember after he left the first wife -- Christy? -- he was photographed with other women before he married Elvis' ex.
I don't remember if he was supposed to be involved with those women or not. I was a kid back then, and wasn't really paying attention to Jenner's exploits. I do remember getting sick of seeing his face everywhere though. And I also remember thinking he looked like a girl. (Ironically, he looked more like a woman then than he does now).

You put the fire out before it threatens every other house on the street. People in the Philadelphia region know this from the horrid experience of watching firefighters stand by while the first row home burned to the ground.
When they were finally told to do their job, it was too late. Every home on the block burned to the ground.

I'm guessing the if the Governor of a State is taking actions, or a lack of actions which contravene the U.S. Constitution, the President has the authority to take action.
Which is why I believe there is a great deal of similarity between Alabama in 1963 and Berserkly in 2017.

Because the failure mode is the dog taking off after a butterfly dragging the baby into a wreck at full dog speed.
Saw a neighbor once walking an Australian Cattle dog with the leash on the same hand he's pushing the stroller.

In the latest airline incident, the one in which an Argentinian woman holding her daughter was allegedly roughed up by a male flight attendant, I am on side of the airline on this one.
One needs to go deep into the various stories that contain eyewitness accounts, before you get to the tale related by a first-class passenger who was close by when the woman very loudly resisted the flight attendant's repeated requests to give him the collapsed stroller she was trying to muscle into a stuffed overhead box.
It's gotten so that flight attendants and cops are in the same category now of Those Whom We Must Diss, because Airline Passengers Matter (TM) and Black Lives Matter.
You want me to shut off my cell phone so we can take off? Fuck you, bitch.

American citizen Aya Hijazi returned to the United States Thursday night after spending the last three years in an Egyptian prison.
According to a Senior White House official, her release was directly facilitated by President Trump.
The 30 year old native of Virginia was working for a nonprofit in 2014 when she was accused of human trafficking and taken into custody. Despite telling authorities that her job was to help street children, Hijazi was held without bail.
Multiple attempts were made during the Obama administration to negotiate her release, but all were unsuccessful. Her case was brought up earlier this month when Egyptian President el-Sisi visited the White House, but no updates were given on the status of negotiations under the new administration.
Today, with the help of President Trump, she is free.
"The President was directly involved," a Senior Administration Official told One America News
Very cool news story you will never hear from Chuck the Toad or any of the other little media bitches who are too busy screeching about Sallie Yada Yada Notagonnaworkhereanymore's "testimony".

Oh come now! Yes, there are pockets of thugs in Berkeley and other places, but we are in much better shape than if Hillary were President and weaponized the whole Federal government to crack down on conservatives! Buck up, man! Have a drink!

Better shape, yes. But only if the tools at disposal are actually used. The initial excitement of Attorney General Jeff Sessions is fading with every day of silence.
PS: Daydrinking is not my thing.

The legality of Eisenhower nationalizing the NG and sending them into Little Rock was hotly debated at the time. It was not a cut and dry thing.
I think the more disputed part was sending the 101st Airborne into a domestic situation.

Galileo claimed pretty explicitly that science was infallible, with is both a heresy and pretty stupid. He was every bit as arrogant as the Church, and with a lot less reason.
Posted by: Grey Fox at April 22, 2017 11:02 AM (bZ7mE)
Whatever. I have no desire to re-argue this stuff.
Using your wording, I would say a Church that is arrogant is guilty of greater sin than some egomaniac scientist.

Re. the beer thing. I read the article and some of the comments. And I miss the days when a product was pulled, changed, successful or not etc. based on consumer choice and demand. And so it begins, the subjective judging by a small group of people of what is and what is not acceptable.

Our life without cable TV is now in its third season, and from what I am reading online, we aren't missing anything.
We get the NBC and ABC affiliate stations via the antenna, and when Ms Kinetic has George Stephanopolous or David Muir on so she can see their version of "the news," I go and pick my ukelele in another room.
Yesterday I learned to play the Avett Brothers "No Hard Feelings," both on guitar and uke, the uke part plucked like the banjo Scott Avett plays in song.
It's a great send-off piece if you want a bluegrass dirge played at a funeral, and ends with a repeat of the line, "I have no enemies."

I am a lager drinker when it comes to beer, and so am lost in the world of all this hand-crafted bullshit they call beer in the stores.
Most places we go where they have plenty of taps, I can't get a draft pull lager and so have to settle for maybe a pilsener.
I'm told that an IPA can be produced in a fraction of the time it takes to make a lager, which which is why all the "craft" breweries pump out the hoppy shit, and no lagers.

Of course, a "tucker" is a tranny with fully operational man parts.
Has anyone ever checked whether Carlson is really a lady in drag?
Posted by: BurtTC
Assume you are not speaking about the fragile Gretchen Carlson who suffered years of abuse and discrimination from Fox's Roger Ailes. Finally when she was slipping from her apex and contract was not renewed -- and she sprang into legal action. Although in retrospect possible she could be a lady in drag.

Michael Flynn has the best overview of the Galileo affair in the larger context of the debate between geocentrism and heliocentrism.
http://tofspot.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-great-ptolemaic-smackdown-table-of.html
Long story short (it's a very long read):
Galileo's model was no better at predictions than the leading geocentric models. When he published his findings the Church celebrated them. The church was perfectly fine with teaching heliocentrism as a model of the universe for the purpose of predicting heavenly motions as long as it wasn't taught as the way things actually operated, and was willing to revisit the issue when more evidence appeared.
Galileo was an asshole who spent thirty years after his initial discovery attacking fellow astronomers and church officials who were his supporters and basically burning every bridge he had. Even then, the Church investigated him twice for supposed heresy and found nothing. It was only after he published a book, at the Pope's request, in which he was perceived to be mocking the Pope that he was found guilty of pushing heretical interpretations of the Bible.
The Church was a little sensitive about the issue since Europe was currently in the process of tearing apart the Holy Roman Empire in the Thirty Years War. Galileo's punishment? A seventy year old man who hated to travel was given house arrest in his seaside villa.

Thousands of scientists are expected to converge on the National Mall for the march, which is being held on the 47th observance of Earth Day.
Organizers called for the event amid what they call "an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and discovery."
How many of these "scientists" are from the hard sciences (chemistry, physics) and how many from the softer ones (psychology, etc.)?
