Open Thread and Some Things of Marginal Importance
Some stuff, a lot of it from Twitter, where the real stupid happens:
A Blue Checkmark Mafia idiot says the GOP rigged Benghazi to hurt Hillary Clinton in the election. Louise Mensch, who is so good at politics she successfully served as a Member of Parliament from 2010 all the way until her resignation in 2012, spends her days now nuttering about reds under the beds. Even Buzzfeed, which has led many Social Justice Warrior scalp-hunting parties against innocent nobodies, thinks she's a bit promiscuous with her many, many allegations.Since last November’s election, the former British politician Louise Mensch has transformed herself into the leader of a wide-ranging internet investigation into Russian espionage and influence in American politics, media, and business. Every day, Mensch and her network of online detectives unravel what they claim is a massive conspiracy linking the Kremlin, the Republican party, armies of internet trolls, and moneyed puppet-masters around the world. Mensch, who sometimes tweets hundreds of times a day, has claimed or implied that targets ranging from top government officials to journalists to teenagers to anonymous twitter users are in thrall to Vladimir Putin. Just since inauguration day, according to an extensive review of her tweets, the New York-based Mensch has accused at least 210 people and organizations of being under Russian government influence.... Mensch’s list includes 35 American politicians and government officials, 26 journalists, 26 organizations and corporations (among them think tanks, banks, media outlets, foreign intelligence agencies, and security firms), 18 Russians, 18 US citizens notable for political donations or affiliations, 80 low-profile Twitter accounts Mensch has characterized as "Putinbots" or similar (many of which appear to belong to Americans who support President Trump), and two British politicians. The list includes figures as disparate as Bernie Sanders and Sean Hannity.Via @EsotericCD. By the way, if you wish to learn more about the mindthoughts of this former chic-lit-writer-turned-spyhunter, you can read her brilliant essay "Dear Mr. Putin, Let's Play Chess." Are the elites once again whistling past the graveyard in declaring confidently that LePen can't win in France? BTW, I think the answer is "no," because just a couple of years ago people thought the FN was going to capture a lot of regional offices because they made it into the second round, but the partisans of all other parties ganged up to vote for whoever was opposing the FN candidate. So you had the center-left voters voting for the Parti Socialist, and socialists voting for the center left -- anyone but FN. That just happened two years ago and I don't see how things could have changed so tectonically since then that this pattern would no longer be operative. Then again, there was just a terrorist attack, and she's kind of the only one making a big deal about it, and the Known Wolf who'd done it had previously gone on anti-cop rampages but was still at large, so who knows. Oh, and one likely second-round opponent Jean-Luc Melenchon, wants a 100% tax on "the rich" -- so maybe even the center-right will shy away from backing him, if he makes the second round. See update to this story: Berkeley now says it will provide protection for an Ann Coulter speech, thought it will be delayed a week. Some groundbreaking work from out academic elites in the exciting new field of pre-natal micro-aggressions:

NYT is furious because a couple of "aging rockers" and Palin were disrespectful to the portrait of the Beast in the WH.
Ahh, I remember the heady days of TFG's administration, when progs were tweeting pics of themselves flipping off Reagan's portrait.
And how about this. Since Nugent and Rock are "aging," how about Obamabots Springsteen, Streisand, Cher, Behar, Whoopi, etc., etc.? Or would it be "rude" to call them aging?

re 6: I have an L Ron Hubbard book that I bought years ago for maybe 25 cents. I recall him writing that only a few weeks after your mother gets pregnant, your father finds out your your mother is pregnant and he starts to yell and he hits your mother, and that will seriously affect YOU, that 6 week old pre-pre-human, unless you get that treatment he (Hubbard) says you absolutely must receive, the expense be darned because it's worth it, ain't it?
I recall he also wrote in that book that he was basically the smartest person what ever lived, so it must be true.

All this leftist shit about gender roles and such becomes laughable about ten minutes after you have a kid.
Babies/children don't play with the gender appropriate toys etc. because it's expected of them; they don't give a shit (well, actually they do) what's expected of them. They're either interested in something, or they're not. Period. And good luck interesting them in something that they're not interested in.
The elder of the Guevara spawn was born within a month of the birth of a neighbor's daughter. As soon as our son could walk (sort of) he used to push his stroller and yell "Trucks! BIG trucks!" For my part, I couldn't be less interested in automobiles generally, nor could my wife.
Meanwhile, his distaff Döppelgänger did nothing of the kind, but liked dolls and such.
It's almost as if the sexes have innate differences in their interests.

I watched a doc about Lynerd Skynerd (who was an old time southern rock blues band you relics will remember). Management wanted to save a buck so they leased a less-than-perfect two engine Convair CV-240 to fly the band around. Coming into Greenville SC they could see flame coming from one engine. They reported it and played the show. They were told to fly the plane to their next gig at Baton Rouge LA where someone would take a look at it. What could possibly go wrong?

So the vile, criminal, racist piece of human garbage now serving as Dem assembly leader in CA slanders the administration's immigration policies as "white supremacist".
The AG calls this "despicable," but otherwise *defends* the administration policy.
FFFFFS.
One-half sentence, throwaway, reminding all that of course there is nothing racist about rule of law, borders, and immigration tailored to the national interest. Then - 100 megatons of vitriol - and FFS the president should weigh in personally, not via Twitter but in a soundbite - should be poured on DeLeon. Call him and everyone like him what they are - racist, authoritarian scum, harming their constituents and the country.
Perhaps paradoxically, given the state of the electorate, the public agrees with admin. policy - even clear majorities in f***ing CA agree with it. Raise the f***ing profile of this guy, he asked for it, vilify him from every level, make sure his district hears it all.
He openly brags about illegal family members in the US. F***ing prosecute him under various statutes for abetting violation of immigration law.
The GOP in general refuses to engage in politics, beyond the minimal kabuki needed to fool their largely lazy or dim voters. So it's up to the administration to, finally, draw a line, and take a stab at returning sanity to the public square.
Calling the NYT "failing" was half-amusing for about a week. How about actually doing something useful with your soapbox, Donald (and cabinet)?

Speaking of your child as social experiment, there's a new transgender movie coming out - "3 Generations". The generations are: Susan Sarandon and her lover as the lesbian grandparents, Naomi Watts as the single mom, and Elle Fanning as the only female child who identifies as a boy.
Worst part of the trailer (and there's a lot of progessibe hoo-hah to choose from) is when Elle is having dinner with her estranged dad and his new family, and Elle explains to his cute little daughter that she's a boy who was born in a girl's body, and the lil' cutie replies, "I'm a girl born in a girl's body --- I think?" If I were dad I would be freaked out at that moment - thanks for sowing doubt in my 1st grader, crazy kid!!

This is interesting, and we discussed this a while back on the ONT a few times. They've confirmed that some stone carvings on some pillar they dug up at the mysterious Gobleki Teppi site commemorates an SMOD impact at around 11,000BC.
It was a comet swarm that caused a catastrophe to the planet at the time.
Anyway, that's cool.

I feel sorry for the children of those gender studies profs. Lord only knows what they'll be subjected to.
My husband and I didn't find out the sex of any of our kids before they were born, even though we certainly could have. I talked to all my babies in utero, and it never occurred to me that I'd be talking to them differently if I knew their sex. Because I wouldn't.
And they play with what they want to play with. When my son was one, we were out of town visiting friends with 4 little girls. My son stood at their toy box and methodically went through every toy in there until he got to the bottom of the box and found a small firetruck that some other boy had left there. That was what he wanted, and he went through a ton of other toys to get there.

My 18mo old niece already pushes her stuffed animals in her stroller and spoonfeeds them, and wipes various things with cloths. All without any encouragement. No doubt she will master sammich-making before I know it.
She also likes cars, though.

Girls tend (not uniformly, but largely) to be more interested in people, relationships, and nurturing, whereas boys tend to be more interested in things. It's almost as if it's Nature's plan.
For my part, I actually that that's pretty cool.
I denounce myself, of course.

We found out the sex of our son during our first sonogram.
His penis was waving "hello!" at us.
Anyhow, it was fine. We already had his name chosen, and spoke to him in the womb, and I even sang to him.
I remember the first time he looked up at me. I said, "Hi, _________," and his eyes were big, looking straight into me. He knew my voice. It was incredible.

Having his Syrian ally taking US hits directly for the first time? An expanded US Navy? North Korea under the boot? A secure US border?
It is SO idiotic, from the outset, that it best serves as a reminder of just how ignorant, and stupid, so many people are. Alas I have yet to encounter any of this idiocy in person, as I'd love to demolish their nonsense with just a few questions.

There is some evidence that there was a comet impact around that time, or perhaps multiple impacts of fragments in various places. But they haven't found a smoking gun yet. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that the carvings had anything to do with the comet. At least it's not obvious to me.

80 Remember "Daria" on MTV when she used to watch a TV show called "Sick Sad World"?
Posted by: freaked at April 21, 2017 08:30 PM (BO/km)
Yeah, I loved that show.
--
I loved it as well. In high school, I kind of was Daria, and my best friend, who was an artist, was Jane- this was years before the show came out. We both fit the stereotypes.. which surprised me. I just wasn't as dour as Daria.

Guy Fieri makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a grapefruit spoon, but I have to give him due credit on two counts:
- I used to give him shit for trying to be all fancy because he was born "Guy Ferry", but it turns out he changed his name back to what it was before his ancestors came through immigration, and I have to respect that.
- His tomato soup recipe is amazing, and I don't even like tomato soup. Put ingredients in a roasting pan, cook at 400 degrees until bored, grind it up in a food mill, splash a little milk or cream. Your house will smell awesome for days.

Every time I see the name of the Fwench presidential candidate Melanchon,
A very common name where I grew up was Melanson (American accent on second syllable). I guess from the Quebecois 'Melançon'. All related, I wonder?

Gobleki Tepe was a very ancient site they found in Turkey a while back. And it's old, and it pushed way back the dating of monotholic construction.

Yeah, appears Trump's first disastrous mistake is for real, the DACA idiocy. He even chose to use the most vile deceptive/manipulative formulation - "compassion!!!"
Pretty stupid for a "deal-maker". The obvious play was to maintain an ambiguously negative posture while relentlessly pursuing the other illegal immigration priorities (thereby reducing the "dreamer" problem along the way) - then, *possibly*, down the road, when you're making major progress, trading some "compassion" idiocy for the racist/lawless element lying down on something else bigger.

You know, actually, I don't think so. I suspect they're just trying to outrage popular opinion, and to undermine society generally by calling everything into question, regardless of how ridiculous their attempts are.
It's of a piece with their interest in mainstreaming mental illness and severely dysfunctional cultures/lifestyles generally.

On a darkly humorous note, Cong. Steve King apparently hinted that more lawfare against the "dreamer" lawlessness might be needed, given Trump's pathetic statement.
Not sure about the mechanics of this. Obama's EO was stomped by the court. But Trump can now just adopt the worst tactic of the lawless idiots who have gutted the rule of law in the US: just refuse to enforce the laws. Wonder if he will. Sessions wouldn't be a fan of this, I'm guessing.
Would be nice if Trump suffered something painful over this. Might remind him that actually fulfilling campaign pledges (something he's done more than any other recent president) is a very good idea, and abandoning them is a verrry baaad idea. Politically.

Son told what he tried to portray as a "funny" story at dinner with an elderly couple and us one night. Old fellow came ashore at Normandy and told a "funny" hair raising story.
So, D'oh Boy was on a FOB on a sunny, pleasant day, and found a latrine with an actual plastic toilet seat.
He settled in for a relaxing spell, when in the distance there were loud "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!s" and everyone started running around yelling. He said he pulled out what passed for pathetic toilet paper that actually felt like and resembled crepe paper, and had just adjust his clothing, grabbed his weapon, and began trotting for his vehicle.
Then BOOM! and he was airborne and face-planted on the ground. His bell was rung and he couldn't hear a thing. Medic's lips were moving and there was no sound.
He wasn't "seriously" injured, just has a messed up back he'll be dealing with forever, but his Sgt. pointed, his eyes bugged out, and said, "Look!"
The latrine our son had just left had taken a direct hit from a mortar.
He laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world. My stomach literally flipped over a couple of times.

Don't think this is a misreporting or context issue. I heard the full statement. Saying "dreamers" "have nothing to fear" is clear, 100% open code on this topic.
In any case, even a misreported "story" could be useful here, if the backlash gets someone's attention in the WH.
Oh - and in an earlier thread I decried the defensive tone of Sessions' response to the outrageous slander from the vile CA Dem legislator. Offense, Jeff, not defense.
Especially on issues where the public (even in CA) backs you, and where your opponents are so vulnerable to and deserving of demonization as lawless, anti-American, racist, scumbags (and in this case, vulnerable to prosecution as well).

"Giving" anything on "dreamers" is idiotically incompetent, as a negotiator.
Illegal immigration is a one-sided issue. Always has been. Both parties being on the wrong side of was a sine qua non for Trump's campaign, and victory.
As noted above, it was/is idiotic to do anything on the "dreamer" issue other than maintain an ambiguously negative posture, while focusing on the huge fights over crushing "sanctuary" lawlessness via appropriations, securing the southern border, and launching major internal enforcement (employment) actions.
Do that heavy lifting, win the battles, and the lawless racist (and moral narcissist "compassion" clueless) elements will be happy to take a few crumbs. And the problem will be significantly reduced by then.
This is not complicated.

well, again, let's go with what he has stated.
seems understandable that someone who has been raised here and does not have any relation to the country their parents broke into our country from would be a compelling case to give some consideration to.
there are probably lot of these people who are adults who do not need to have their parents here so there is no reason to give the parents amnesty.
even then Trump's point is that he is not hunting them down as a priority, does not mean he will not grab them if they are found misbehaving.
stated earlier, my preference is to hunt them down and drive them out of the country, however, no point in screwing our own team.

On the topic of prenatal ultrasound, Guy Fieri, toilet seats, Daria, and extinction-level events:
I have a 2009 Impreza wagon, new to me ca. 2015. Less than 100k miles. I haven't driven it more than a few miles per week in the last few months (medical reasons), and about 2 months ago it wouldn't start, but the portable jumpstarter got it going, so I ran it for about 10 miles just to get it charged. This week, even the portable starter wouldn't get it to turn over; the lights come on but all that happens when I turn the key is I hear a relay or solenoid flutter. I'm assuming the battery's stone dead and will be replacing it as the first and most obvious fix.
- Does that sound reasonable? If it were the alternator or something, I'd expect that it wouldn't start again even after being run 10 miles.
- Within walking distance, there's a NAPA store and a Sears auto shop, so I was planning to just pull the battery, stick it in a backpack, and swap it for a new one. Does anyone recommend one place over the other?
- Is it worth paying more for a battery with a longer warranty? I don't even know if the Sears company itself will outlast a 24 month warranty.
- Is there any reason to spring for the 660A battery over the 540A one or whatever, or should I just save the extra $20? It's just a 4-cylinder boxer, right? Does it take that much power to turn it over?

I haven't driven it more than a few miles per week in the last few months (medical reasons), and about 2 months ago it wouldn't start, but the portable jumpstarter got it going, so I ran it for about 10 miles just to get it charged. This week, even the portable starter wouldn't get it to turn over; the lights come on but all that happens when I turn the key is I hear a relay or solenoid flutter. I'm assuming the battery's stone dead and will be replacing it as the first and most obvious fix.
- Does that sound reasonable? If it were the alternator or something, I'd expect that it wouldn't start again even after being run 10 miles.
- Within walking distance, there's a NAPA store and a Sears auto shop, so I was planning to just pull the battery, stick it in a backpack, and swap it for a new one. Does anyone recommend one place over the other?
- Is it worth paying more for a battery with a longer warranty? I don't even know if the Sears company itself will outlast a 24 month warranty.

"I'm blaming Kushner and Ivanka for getting in his ear making him flip"
Does the First Fashionista even have time these days for giving her dad such policy advice?
What with busily shilling for her new book about Grrrrrrrl Power? (As distinct from her previous groundbreaking, pathfinding, innovative book about Grrrrrrrl Power, a topic never before broached in publishing.)
Ivanka's Secret Tips For Busy Working Moms:
"I'm often asked what the correct number of live-in staff should be for a power career mother. The answer is: six. Seven or more are just too many to smoothly coordinate, and one might appear to be putting on airs. Ostentation is icky, let's just say it. But with five or fewer full-time help, one could find oneself shorthanded at critical moments, such as hosting donor banquets for Cory Booker. Which just would not do. So six it shall be."

Does that sound reasonable? If it were the alternator or something, I'd expect that it wouldn't start again even after being run 10 miles.
- Within walking distance, there's a NAPA store and a Sears auto shop, so I was planning to just pull the battery, stick it in a backpack, and swap it for a new one. Does anyone recommend one place over the other?
- Is it worth paying more for a battery with a longer warranty? I don't even know if the Sears company itself will outlast a 24 month warranty.
- Is there any reason to spring for the 660A battery over the 540A one or whatever, or should I just save the extra $20? It's just a 4-cylinder boxer, right? Does it take that much power to turn it over?

"Does anyone recommend one place over the other?"
NAPA. But don't buy their least expensive offering. They typically have at least a two-tier and sometimes more lineup. The costlier units will be better.
"Is it worth paying more for a battery with a longer warranty?"
Pro-rated warranties on vehicle batteries are usually crapola. Look for something with a reasonably long full-replacement term.
"Is there any reason to spring for the 660A battery over the 540A one"
I would buy the biggest battery the form factor of the engine compartment would admit. It'll give you more leeway against no-start situations when/if there's a small parasitic drain like a light left on. It'll work itself less hard in a cold start and perforce last somewhat longer.

No, politically astute, or astute negotiator, says nothing about this issue.
Nothing is forcing him to take a position, or even to show any body language, on the matter.
Amnesty/illegal immigration are the most important, most politically one-sided issues in the country going on two decades. Trump would not be in the WH if he hadn't dramatically broken with the uniparty jihad on this issue.
Pursue the illegal migration priorities. Go on (rhetorical) offense against the vile race-baiters (incl. in your own "party"). Floor the accelerator, put people on the spot. (watch the "dreamer" situation attrit, naturally, as you do these other things).
Then, down the road - MAYBE - offer some compromise. In return for some very big surrender by the lawless racists.
Not complicated.

This week, even the portable starter wouldn't get it to turn over; the lights come on but all that happens when I turn the key is I hear a relay or solenoid flutter.

Yes, battery is stone dead. Any battery that is of the equivalent CCA or higher will be fine. As far as warranty goes, go with NAPA if that's a concern - Sears may not be around to honor it.
I'd say get the fancy AGM battery, but your car doesn't need it and they are a fair bit more expensive.

Same experience recently with a vehicle I drive maybe once a week. Battery deader than dog food.
My mechanic saw the Bosch battery and guffawed. They're made in Mexico now, and have chicken feathers and burrito wrappers in them. A Russian mechanic coming over saw the Bosch battery and laughed also.
They both recommended Interstate batteries, made in the USA, as having wildly better quality. FWIW.

Beyond the nominal load of whatever a car draws sitting doing nothing for a week, my guess is cold, and the fact that it's probably 8 years old. I have a power controller for the ham radio that only starts it if the voltage goes above 13V (when the car starts) and turns it off 5 minutes after it goes below that (when the car's off), but if it's not transmitting, it shouldn't draw that much, plus I switched it off when I started having trouble turning the engine over.

Beyond the nominal load of whatever a car draws sitting doing nothing for a week, my guess is cold, and the fact that it's probably 8 years old. I have a power controller for the ham radio that only starts it if the voltage goes above 13V (when the car starts) and turns it off 5 minutes after it goes below that (when the car's off), but if it's not transmitting, it shouldn't draw that much, plus I switched it off when I started having trouble turning the engine over.

Batteries only last a few years. If they're not fully recharged periodically (e.g., once or twice a month) you're lucky to get three years out of one.

That's the Sears brand, I think they're made by Johnson Controls. Supposed to be just fine. I think Deka makes the NAPA ones, also fine.

I had three dead tractor batteries, big 4DLTs. I said screw it and bought 3 new ones, all at once. Guess it was a waste since we don't use them that much, but I was getting sick of jumping them off and putting the charger on them all the time when I needed to start them.
And now, I had to cut grass for the first time this year, and the dinky little lawn mower battery was gone, too.
To check if there's a drain, charge it up and see if it makes a little spark when you touch the terminals. Borrow or get a good DC amp clamp to confirm if you want to.

well, that is good. had a lexus years ago that had some sort of electrical drain in the system somewhere that would run the battery down.
Posted by: yannkeefifth at April 21, 2017 09:24 PM (cPsPa)
Disconnect the positive terminal and interpose an ammeter. If you have a parasitic drain, you'll see it with the engine off. A current more than (IIRC) 50 milliamps or so is indicative of a drain.
The chances are 99:1 that it's not that; the battery is done.

Don, staying quiet on this relatively minor aspect of the larger problem, while vigorously pursuing all the major attacks on the problem, is the obvious call.
The ambiguity comes from not committing to anything in particular, and in this specific case, by just not addressing one's campaign comments.
Tactical ambiguity (with a negative posture, as I noted) on this relatively small part of the mass illegal migration disaster, in the context of winning huge victories (border security, internal enforcement, criminal deportations), does not amount to ambiguity about the rule of law itself. As the battles over enforcement on all the other major components will make clear.

"My mechanic saw the Bosch battery and guffawed. They're made in Mexico
now, and have chicken feathers and burrito wrappers in them."
Johnson Controls make a whole bunch of batteries for retailers' private labels. If you buy a battery from Wal-Mart or Sears or Costco, or any of several of the chain auto stores, it probably was OEMed by Johnson Controls.
They also moved auto battery production south to the land of the mordida and the siesta, and quality took a steep nose dive.
I'm putting an Odyssey in shortly to replace a dying old Costco unit (from back when their batts were made Stateside). I expect to pay a pretty penny for the privilege: 3 times what the previous battery retailed for. But the Odyssey is made here, and made well.

Modern sealed car batteries don't die like the old ones, slower and harder starting for days. Now they just fail. Work fine one day, maybe a hard start day, and then dead.
Luckily, all the auto parts places will test your battery for free in hopes of a sale.

We had one of those 4DLT batteries that lasted over 10 years one time. They have these little date "punch holes" on the label, and they're only good for ten years. They have a month punch hole, and then 0 - 9 digits.
Well, I realized that that had "rolled over" because there was no way that battery was just one year old.
That was one that was on the far right tail of the ol' life Gaussian.
Then I had them last less than 2 years. And, over my life, I've had three battery explosions. Catastrophic failure mode. If anyone is that interested, I could 'splain it, but it would take paragraphs.

Though there will always be the fond memory of when my VW bug battery was dead but I was too busy to take care of it for a few weeks. Parked on a hill near my apt., and always managed to find other young'ins to help push to get me started at work.

publius- If you can buy your batteries at Auto Zone they will do a quick charge for free and they will also replace any battery that has a warranty.
Did a quick charge once and the second time I took it back they gave me a new battery.

Thanks. Kinda nervous. Haven't raised a kitten in 14 years. This little guy is gorgeous (blue/green eyes, long white curls in his ears). He's supposed to be a snuggle bear and playful. Hoping if things work out he and our senior female will become pals. She's really been lonely. She's still very playful and I think would enjoy a little playmate.

I just bought a pair of coral wedge-heeled sandals today that I can wear with just about everything but pink and red.

Several years later, after one of them died, I was referred to a local shelter by my vet. That place caught feral kittens, and spayed and released the mother. I just had to pay a fee to adopt that kitten. He's 10 years old now.
