The Morning Rant
"In 2018 maybe we'll come to realize that the AGW fanatics don't want a liveable planet, they only want to disempower the United States; feminists don't want to liberate women, they only want to humiliate men; homosexual activists don't want wedding cakes, they just want to persecute Christians; Palestinians don't want peace, they just want to exterminate Israel; Theresa May doesn't want a strong, James Bond-type female character, she just wants the original Bond replaced, and antifa just wants everyone who isn't a full-throated commie to shut up." 
Compare & Contrast:
Hope Your NYE Was Better Than This:
And This:
We had some friends over for the holidays and the husband told me that he had come to conceive of Die Hard as a Christmas movie. So I fired it up and we watched it again. I saw a Christmas reference that had escaped me in all my previous viewings. It's when McClane finally gets to be alone with Holly before she has to go to the Christmas party and give as a speech and she's apologizing for Ellis being a dick. She tells her husband: "You must forgive Ellis. He always gets depressed this time of year. He thought that he was God's Greatest Gift, you know?" I didn't see this one on any of the lists of Die Hard Christmas references I was able to find. I find it hard to believe I found a new one that nobody else has noticed before now. ------------ Best Headlines of 2017: Follow the thread for an mega dose of wtf

LCMS Rulz!- (12/12/17) 1) Advancing dementia in my Mother-in-Law: we're going to have to move her all-too-soon;
2) Praise and Glory be for the near simultaneous cancer healings among three of my in-laws. Michael the Texan- (12/12/17) Difficult divorce from longtime physically abusive wife. Please pray for my wife, too, as this divorce will leave her with much less financial freedom. Elisabeth- (12/12/17) Chronic stress from my perpetually low income is worsening my known autoimmune problems and probably some that haven't yet been diagnosed, and I've just started my fifth course of antibiotics for a recurrent sinus infection and nothing I've tried to improve my income situation (finding a better job, asking for a raise, selling my work, finding cheaper housing) has worked. Plus, I need new glasses but can't afford the eye exam. Redinabluestate- (12/12/17) Prostate cancer.

NoLongerInTheBellyoftheBeast- (12/18/17) I need to have prayers added to the list for a friend and cow-orker named Renee who just got diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I could also use prayers for myself. Major joint pain and long term major depression. And prayers for better finances to pay medical bills. Johnny- (12/19/17) About a year and a half ago my wife divorced me. It was all very civil and amicable. Today she told me (texted me) that she is now engaged. This whole time, I've been torn up and depressed, of course, but, I don't know, maybe I was in denial or something, because when she told me that.. Gah. It's really over. That life that I was so excited about, will never come to pass. Tone Staple- (12/19/17) For a relative with Pick's Disease, and for his family. Pick's Disease is a form of dementia that starts with gradual loss of language. Arch Stanton- (12/19/17) My dad is recovering from having a pacemaker put in, and battling COPD. Captain Whitebread- (12/19/17) I've had to go to the local hospital ER a couple of times since heart surgery because I was concerned I might be having more heart trouble. I didn't, but since I didn't have insurance, the bill was huge. I tried paying a little every month, but sometimes I missed because money is really tight.
Monday, I was served with a court summons. The collection agency working for the hospital is taking me to court. I owe $4500. I have no way of paying in full. I have to appear in court with the next 35 days.
All I am asking from the Horde is prayers that a workable solution might be found. I am not asking for money; everyone has done more than enough after my heart surgery and when I almost had my electricity cut off a couple of years ago. I believe that with enough prayer, a way will reveal itself. At this time, I don't know what it is. But I believe there is one. Ladyl- (12/20/17) My dad is back on Hopice and isn't doing great. Anonymous- (12/19/17) ...Her family has to leave the R.V. park because her husband lost his job two months ago. He has a job prospect in Texas so he is going after it. There are 7 of them living in a 16 ft. trailer but the children are always clean and happy. She has been driving for Uber just to keep food on the table. She's scared about moving, trying to be normal for the kids, doesn't know what will happen if this job prospect doesn't work out. She's got such a good heart and is trying so hard, right now she feels a little desperate and tired.
Please pray for her and her family. I know how much it helps. Anonymous- (12/22/17) A dear friend who survived cancer--twice--died unexpectedly Thursday night. Not from cancer. He was one of the kindest, sweetest people I've known. His widow is in shock, and sitting in their house looking at the tree they decorated together, and their gifts to each other under it. Patrick from Ohio- (12/24/17) Can you add my Sister In Law Denise she suffers from LUPUS like symptoms and nothing is really working. JQ- (12/26/17) 'Twas an otherwise Merry Christmas, because it might be Dad's last, as he has advanced cancer. Dad (80s) is ambulatory but slowing down...
The reality of Dad's situation hit hard tonight after I got home and my heart is breaking. Prayers welcome, if you would please. Thanks, Merry Christmas, and God bless you all. Jim, Sunk New Dawn- (12/26/17) From a rather chilly Orlando, FL. 89 y/o Step Mom in deteriorating health. One way trip, and a contest as to what gets her first. Water around enlarged heart, or OldTimers. Looks like I'll have to make a hasty long term TDY to Orlando, for however long time is left. DaninMN- (12/19/17) Has a preemie son he is worried about and requested prayers. mpfs- (1/1/1Mom was taken by ambulance yesterday afternoon to the hospital. Possible stroke. When they took her sugar last night it was... 759. Even the neurologist did a double take.
Also Prayer:
There are 500,000 to 1 million Christian converts in Iran, most of them evangelicals. Statistically speaking, that means there are individuals in the security apparatus, the IRGC and the Basij, or their family members, who (secretly) consider Christ their Savior.

as a Christmas movie. So I fired it up and we watched it again. I saw a
Christmas reference that had escaped me in all my previous viewings.
It's when McClane finally gets to be alone with Holly before she has to
go to the Christmas party and give as a speech and she's apologizing for
Ellis being a dick. She tells her husband:
"You must forgive Ellis. He always gets depressed this time of year. He thought that he was God's Greatest Gift, you know?"
I didn't see this one on any of the lists of Die Hard Christmas references I was able to find. I find it hard to believe I found a new one that nobody else has noticed before now.
I posted a link a few days ago to an article by the producer of Die Hard. He said he wanted to settle the question once and for all. he said Die Hard WAS and IS a Christmas movie.

On a more important note, they showed trading-floor wench Nicole Petallides in a full body shot. Very nice figure, tight red dress down to just above the knees, and...wait for it....nearly-pr0n high heels!
The only thing keeping her from going full pr0n was the fact that the shoe underneath the front of her feet were NOT 4 inches high.
Her heels had to be six inches. She looked slightly uncomfortable, like she was balancing precariously.
I was amused.

ha ... it is always "false facts" AND emotion with the leftist propaganda. And it is usually scripted (including the tears) for the MSM (teleprompter say "push out three tears here, sob lightly")
Sara Huckabee got attacked for her "alternate facts" line iirc, but when a lawyer is in court with a guilty client, he portrays his set of "facts". The prosecutor offers the jury the "alternative facts" which paint the real picture.
There are indeed different sets of facts. But I guess the left is deciding offering fake facts just gets them blasted on Twitter, so they are going with pussy hats and flag hijabs for the feeling (of submission).

I was actually traveling for business a few years back to like Ohio or somewhere stupid -- it was like a 6 am flight, so I figured it wouldn't be packed, and it would be mostly business travelers.
I got on, walked to my seat, and the 600 pound man sitting next to the seat I was assigned said, "sorry man. I'm like your worst nightmare."
It was funny.

Ugh. I've pretty much been flying Southwest for years. Have a system where I can almost always get vacant middle seat if not a fully booked flight: you pay the extra $15-25 for first boarding and then sit in aisle seat of rows 7-11. People who want front jump at rows 1-6, even if middle seat, and others will keep walking past 7-11 in hopes of better option/own row in the back of the plane

right ... there are supply/demand type things that can only kinda/sorta be measured. But there are 1000 factors known as "externalities" that completely overwhelm most of the "free trade" concepts.
imo most of the "deficits don't matter" lie (Krugman?) was to keep the high profits rolling, from polluting commie nations that use slaves and steal intellectual property. They escaped the all the costs of "liberty" under a false flag of "capitalism will unite the world in wealth".
(liberty costs are military, scrubbing the coal smoke, health care, respecting patents, human rights, etc. ... those things are real world. slavery is also real world and can be very efficient, if we don't mind enriching slave holders)

Yeah, and luckily we have a state of the art electric grid that can totally handle the added capacity needed to charge millions of car batteries.
In my lovely state of NH, we had a great plan to build a nuclear plant 2 two reactors to electrify the entire state.
You can imagine how that worked out. We did get 1 reactor, but it doesn't provide enough power for everyone. We still have some smaller coal plants, but theyre old and the environmentalists are trying to get rid of them, too.
So we have to import power from Canada and their hydro producers. Which, as you can imagine, is expensive as fuck.

I had to go to Vegas a number of years ago for a convention. Plane was almost fully boarded and the center and window seat in my row were empty.
I was just about to start manspreading when two orcas started making their way down the aisle. They were ginormous, so big that when they sat down I was forced to sit half way into the aisle.
Right after takeoff I went to the back to stand where the stewardesses were getting drinks ready. One of them said "Sir, you can't stand here". I said, "Go look at my seat".
She came back and folded down her jump seat and that's where I sat for the rest of the flight. I ate every bag of peanuts I could get my hands on.

I was watching the Japanese Red and White New Year's Singing Contest.
As always, interesting.
But, watching all of these cute and/or lovely women-
brought to mind......The Last Jedi.
How come in the SJWiest of all possible SJW Star Wars,
everyone gets a handsome or beautiful representation of their race/group/whatever
except Asians?
No, Asians get Rose- the shortest, dumpiest, ugliest Asian woman they could find in Hollywood.
Thanks Disney racists!
I see Hollywood's anti-Asian bias is still in full effect in an SJW's Mary Sue dreamfest of all things.
Frankly, it's embarrassing.
To top it all off, they go for the old stereotype of the short, dumpy, ugly Asian woman's impossible, hopeless love (cuz short, dumpy, ugly Asian) of the handsome hero.
Nice.
The only thing they left out is Rose saying-
"Oh, Mistah Finn, me so love you. Me so hawny. Me love you long time!"
Sweet job, hypocrites.
Sad.

On a recent Amtrak trip between Northeastern cities, I was informed that I had enough points to get bumped to business class. When I arrived in business class, I found that the only open seat was next to a fatass, leaving me less room than I would have had in coach class.

Here in my corner of Alberta, the Chinook rolled in last night, and seems to be ongoing. Yesterday at this time, it was -30C, right now it is -5C. Sun is shining, blue sky, and light west winds. We could see above-freezing temps in a few hours if it keeps up.

Up aisle the shitter had plugged up.

Airlines should require people that huge to buy 2 seats, or simply provide them an adjoining seat, gratis. Safety of the aircraft itself, and all aboard it is dependent upon it not being overloaded, and that the load is properly distributed within the aircraft.

Heres two that work for me. I have psoriatic arthritis and osteo arthritis. And psoriasis (of course).
I take 50000 mg a day of Vitamin D3. This helps keep my joints from getting really stiff. Been doing this for over a year and no problems. YMMV
also found by accident that a steady dose of 500mg a day of tetracycline will cut down on flare ups or the intensity of them. Again YMMV
always remember that the doctors are limited in what they can do by the rules of medicine: I.E. common practice. If they stray from common practice they could lose their license and/or get sued if something went wrong.
So they err on the side of caution. They hear hoof beats it's a horse. But sometimes it is a f**king zebra!
I just explore and do research and sometimes luck out when being treated for one thing and it helps something else I have.
Taking alfuzosin is good for urinary problems but it also helps lower your blood pressure. Use caution if you self proscribe if you also take other high blood pressure meds.
Where do I get the script meds without the doctor? Overseas.
I established long ago a good relationship with a few outlets and they proved trustworthy. Hard part is sometimes they will get seized coming through customs. Trial and error on that. Usually if you order less than a 30 day supply they won't bother. Sometimes they will if you use the wrong supplier. (don't ask me why or who. I have one that I don't use any longer because they kept getting seized.)
hope that helps someone. And if Bob from the NSA is listening I wasn't talking about drugs or meds or giving medical advice. It was purely for entertainment.
