Trump having divorced wives before I'm sure had he treated her badly she could have gotten a nice settlement and a divorce. None of his wives have said he treated them badly-except for the cheating I mean. Don't get pissed. laugh at it. The author basically admits most of it was made up. leftists can have their little chew toy. Does anyone who voted for Trump seriously think he's an imbecile?

It's supposed to get to 18 today. I'm skeptical. Also, because the city (and private contractors) refused to plow the 1.5" of snow that fell on NYE, you can't drive your car around a corner without fishtailing. Never live in a town run by the Dutch unless you like basic services to be underfunded because no one dares to spend money.

The black unemployment rate of 6.8 percent in December was the lowest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking it in 1972, a year in which the rate ranged from 11.2 percent to 9.4 percent. In the 45 years the data has been tracked, the unemployment rate for black or African-American workers aged 16 years and older has never fallen below 7 percent.

former Cleveland Cavaliers announcer Joe Tait almost died walking railroad tracks How'd that happen? When I was in college I worked Summers at a B&O freight yard in southwest Baltimore. My first day there they warned me never to walk on the tracks, especially at night, because of how quiet rolling cars could be. Inside I was rolling my eyes and speculating on how much hard drinking it took to not hear 20 tons on the move. But I wasn't a complete idiot and knew to stay between the tracks anyway. One night, not long after that, I was working the midnight shift and walking between tracks when something seemed unusual even though I couldn't actually hear anything. I shined my lantern a bit forward and to the side and there was a rolling empty flatcar as quiet as a tomb. My impression of the guys advising me got a quick upgrade.

Which reminds me - where are the Podestas? While the "pizzagate" thing was a bit far out there, Hillary has worked with some sketchy foreign types, where it would not be surprising if they were dabbling in human trafficking in addition to drugs, arms, etc. Seem to recall some lady in Haiti accused of trafficking kids that Hillz helped....Well, things *could* get interesting - will have to wait and see.

That, and a couple great reads on Teddy Roosevelt's trip with his son on the River of Doubt, will cure one of the desire to ever venture into the Amazon.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 06, 2018 08:54 AM (/tuJf) I also liked his radio show. Apropos of other- The reporting of sealed indictments shouldn't alone, get anybody's panties moist. It isn't that far out of the ordinary, especially considering Sessions' emphasis on drugs (which could be a great mcguffin). The interesting part is the areas in which the indictments have been issued-it might, to the creatively minded-look like as many indictments as possible have been requested as far away from the DC Circuit Court as possible, the one that broke the filibuster because Reid and Obama wanted to stack that unique court.

Honest possible answer to the rolling flat car.
Several of the B ampersand O Yards were what is sometimes known as "Hump" yards. The track was graded with a deliberate grade to allow easier making up of freight trains. Move the car to the correct track, gentle nudge, and it would roll to the point where the train was being made up. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at January 06, 2018 09:09 AM (EyPfd) 98

What was causing the flatcar to roll so silently (seems to imply a free-range flatcar), was it on a slight grade?
Posted by: C. Rony at January 06, 2018 09:02 AM (gwPgz) No, there was no grade to speak of. It had been propelled by a switcher at the far end of the yard and would couple up with cars behind me pretty loudly. Because empty flats are probably only about 12 tons, they will hardly cause a sound where two sections of rail meet because they don't cause the first rail to dip at all, particularly on reasonably maintained track beds.

>>Isn't Mike Rogers one of the good guys?
I think so but who knows. I think his race is run. What got largely overlooked when Devin Nunes went to the White House last year to be shown some secret evidence was what he saw. Most of the focus was given to Adam Schiff's petulant rant that Nunes went to the WH without any Democrats and he filed an ethics charge forcing Nunes to recuse himself temporarily. What Nunes said at the time was that he was shown evidence that the Trump campaign was spied on when the FBI went after foreign actors. This kind of thing has been bubbling beneath the surface for a long time and it was Mike Rogers who last fall brought a lot of it to the surface infuriating guys like Clapper and Brennan. About a month after Nunes made his statement a FISA court handed down a document confirming that widespread warrantless spying on Americans had indeed been going on for years on Americans. This is all about to come out bigly. Rogers has done his job and now he can retire to a life of hookers and covefefe. Posted by: JackStraw at January 06, 2018 09:17 AM (/tuJf) 115

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at January 06, 2018 09:09 AM (EyPfd) An insightful answer but it wasn't a hump yard. Since you know Baltimore it was the Mount Clair yard that served the Halethorpe bidnesses like A and P, Calvert Distillery and Carlings. There were meat yards pens there when I worked there in the late 60s and early 70s but they'd been defunct for a long time. I think the Bay View yard on the east side of the city was a hump yard.

58 The black unemployment rate of 6.8 percent in December was the lowest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking it in 1972, a year in which the rate ranged from 11.2 percent to 9.4 percent. In the 45 years the data has been tracked, the unemployment rate for black or African-American workers aged 16 years and older has never fallen below 7 percent.

I use a water pik for the sinus flush. On the lowest setting.
1 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda to 1 qt water. Much less expensive than Neti pots, after the initial investment in the water pik. Posted by: ALH at January 06, 2018 09:37 AM (fjf5L) 187

Posted by: JackStraw at January 06, 2018 09:24 AM (/tuJf) The NSA always has a high turnover. There is a generous retirement co-payment program , that incentivises people to leave rather than stay.

Philosophically they would see no problem with that as long as it supported the narrative.

Funny all this warning about the neti pots - I just use good hot water out of the taps, mix in about a tablespoon of rock salt, stir till it's all dissolved, and then in one nostril, out the other.

There is an ancient yoga technique in which a warm pot of saline water is placed in front of you as you sit in the classic yoga posture. You then dip in to it a length of clean cloth, like a cheese cloth.
The cloth goes in to a nostril, out the sinus, down the throat to about the tonsil area. Then you grab the cloth and pull the whole cloth through, out your mouth. Repeat for the other nostril. Cleans you right out. I used to do it. Posted by: navybrat, my head hurts at January 06, 2018 10:00 AM (w7KSn) 267

I'm not a math genius, but is this partly because of inflation?
Muldoon, 'splain it to me, please. Posted by: ALH at January 06, 2018 09:45 AM (fjf5L) Stocks go up for several reasons. You are right, one is monetary inflation: Printing more money. The money goes to the banks, they invest it in stocks, the market goes up because there is more money bidding on the current amount of stocks Some of the other reasons are: More capitalization in the means of production -- that is more businesses are investing in their equipment they use to do stuff, and so they become more productive, and more profitable, and the extra money gets put into something, like more stocks since the companies are more profitable. Also foreign money coming in. If Outer Slobovia is having economic troubles and it looks like the finance minister there will cause massive inflation, a default or a taking of some sort, then the citizens will try to find a safe haven for their money and that means in a lot of the world US currencies and stocks. There will be a correction coming. The question is only if there will be something to offset it, like increased productivity or reduction in costs caused by regulation and restrictions.

Market corrections are a good thing. If you're in the phase of your investment life where you're relying on your portfolio for income, you're generally not selling off positions anyway, you're taking income as distributions or you've already transitioned into a more bond heavy stance.
A market correction is basically a fire sale on equities. Keep some cash on hand in your portfolio so you can pounce on it when the moment comes. Or just do the dollar cost averaging thing and don't worry about it. But for the love of Rothbard, don't sell during a downturn if you don't absolutely have to.

Another factor that I believe could lead to a rise in the stock market in general, and which has not kicked in yet - the effects the tax bill will have on high end real estate on both coasts. Real Estate (especially in the + 1 million category) has absorbed a huge amount of capital over the last 25 years, and as long as prices have kept inflating, this has been a good investment, and it has been sheltered by generous tax laws. Those laws have now been changed, and suddenly the investment value of those high end properties has gone done by quite a bit.
It will not be sudden, but there will be a shift away from ownership of those properties, and the best avenue for those funds to go to will be the future. Many here probably don't remember, but the same thing happened after the 1986 tax bill, which radically changed the tax rules for investment property, and made it much less attractive than it had been previously. (everything adjusts; in the long run, the tax bill of 1986 led to the rise of REIT's) Posted by: Tom Servo at January 06, 2018 10:12 AM (V2Yro) 295
My son will ask me every so often. What do you remember about 1991? (I was in seminary) or any other random date-1987-(I got married). I think he's expecting some major world event. I mostly don't recall those. I think if you ask most people -they connect years with personal and family events.

The good part about the SOJ is Trump will have an hour and a half of prime media exposure to deliver whatever message he wants without the media being able to spin it. I would like him to use it recounting what he and Congress have been able to accomplish over the last year with zero help from Democrats and what he wants to get done this year and challenge the Democrats to stop being the #resistance and do their damn jobs.
Sure, the media will spin it after the fact but it is going to be pretty hard to deny that the economy isn't roaring, tax cuts are on the way, the personal mandate is kaput, ISIS is being crushed, the middle east didn't go up in flames when we moved our embassy to Jerusalem and on and on and on.

"The Dow's fueled by inflation
That's my prognostication And I DID stay at a Holiday Inn Express! Posted by: Muldoon it sounds better in rhyme. "Inflation" used to mean money supply, not it commonly means what used to be called "price inflation". So there is definitely the old money supply inflation ... usually that shows up in prices of goods. With Obama's slower economy it did not show up much, but debt kept rising. imo stocks and bonds are way overvalued ... but a fiat currency does that, and governments love to spend ever more. Keep giving money to the welfare class and keep making the rich richer and the middle worker gets to do the producing. So we went to China for workers, and kept going in debt, and China is trying to buy up assets around the world (which to me is buying the country without bothering with war). Globalists don't mind this ... peoples that want to keep the heritage of their forefathers should stop them from "diversifying" us into their globalist machinery.

there may come a time when the US Dollar is not king, which is why some say buy gold or precious metals, at least maybe 5%. Or some say global stock in something real (like Exxon or Chevron) since they will produce commodities that will be safe if the USD falls.
But that is all tricky business. We are the world reserve currency, and a strong dollar has let us go far in debt. That CAN be good till they cancel the credit cards. I never imagined they could do 8 years of zero interest policy, plus the $4T in QE. Trump policy is good for the economy, but we have ever growing debt. tricky business.

US Dollar is going to remain King for the rest of our lives, certainly. Maybe our grandchildren might see a new regime, but not us.
Why? Because their are no serious competitors, not even on the horizon. People love to play up the Chinese Renminbi, while ignoring the fact that no one trusts it internationally because the Chinese govm't has never been able to resist playing political games with its value, such as driving down it's exchange rates to benefit Chinese export policy. The Euro is a disaster, with 10 times as many long term problems as the US dollar has. The pound sterling is a relic of another era - and bitcoin is a sad joke, today's tulip bulb mania, headed for a similar crash. King Dollar is here to stay, for a long long time.

It was supposedly a way to get around US Sanctions. Those peak oil people were literally cheering from the roof top that would spell the end of the US dollar as the World's reserve currency and this would hasten the collapse of the United States as a World power.

Posted by: Brave Sir Robin at January 06, 2018 10:46 AM (ty7RM) If you really want high quality ribs, yes. $ per lb of meat v bone is up there. That being said, don't fear it. Find a nice rub (don't bother inventing one as its largely been done, better) use some moisture on the meat to hold the rub (butter or mustard, usually, sometimes I use honey). Keep the heat below 300 and roll some smoke for a couple hours, then wrap in foil and put back out for a couple hours. Fruit wood usually imparts a sweet smoke, so I recommend apple, cherry or peach.

I can't do the regular ribs as well, because of the meat/bone ratio -- kinda like chicken wings. Look for the St Louis ones because if prepared well (and easily), they are great.

418 That being said, don't fear it. Find a nice rub (don't bother inventing one as its largely been done, better) use some moisture on the meat to hold the rub (butter or mustard, usually, sometimes I use honey). Keep the heat below 300 and roll some smoke for a couple hours, then wrap in foil and put back out for a couple hours.
Fruit wood usually imparts a sweet smoke, so I recommend apple, cherry or peach. Overall, it just takes a bit of practice. ***** Exactly what he said ^^^^ I used apple pellets, and a 3-2-1 timing. Three hours smoke at about 180, two hours at 225-250 in foil (added some brown sugar and honey and a splash of apple juice before sealing), then remove from foil, light coating of BBQ sauce of choice and let them tighten on the rack at 225 for 30-60 minutes. Falling off the bone tender. Posted by: Muldoon at January 06, 2018 11:01 AM (wPiJc) Hi...Time for Rib Fight 2018! I agree with the whole "find a rub you like' thing. I would recommend you take a look at Oakridge BBQ rubs. But, I disagree with the methodology (too much dang work and soggy ribs as a result) and the resulting texture. "Falling off the bone" means overcooked. If perfectly cooked, the meat should not fall off the bone but firm enough to stay on the bone and pull cleanly away from the bone when you bite. Easy to do esp. with a wood-pellet grill. So...method to achieve that: 1) Apply rub to rack of ribs. Let sit a minimum of an hour if possible. 2) Set WPG to 275*. 3) Place ribs in area of indirect heat. 4) Time: 3.5 hrs for baby back ribs 4-4.5 hrs for St Louis ribs 5) If you like dry ribs, just cook for the above period of time. To test doneness - use tongs to pick up rack from the middle. Rack should bend and the meat just start splitting at the bone. At this point, your ribs are perfectly done. 6) If you like wet ribs, roughly 30 min before they should be ready, brush on your favorite BBQ sauce (I recommend Rufus Teague's Touch O'Heat) and let it glaze for 30 min. Use the tong test above. And you are ready to eat. Pro Tip: Nice pair of chicken scissors (or meat scissors) makes separating the ribs super easy. A-a-a-a-and there you are....Go forth and sin no more in the realm of Ribby Goodness. Posted by: naturalfake at January 06, 2018 11:21 AM (9q7Dl) 461

9 degrees in New York city, dropping to 3 degrees later.
I live on the top floor of a walkup tenement with a crappy roof. The roof gutter in the corner by my window is clogged with ice. As the snow and ice melt the water travels through cracks in the roof and drips through cracks in the window frame into my apartment. The water found a gap in my window and the ice began to build up so the window flopped open. Twice. And broke. Good news? I managed to shove the windowpane back into its tracks so at least the window is closed and only the outside glass is broken. Hope I don't have to wait till spring for this to get fixed. If I didn't have a rent stablized apartment and a fixed income, I'd be outta here in a New York minute. I'm getting too old for this. Posted by: vivi at January 06, 2018 11:39 AM (11H2y) 490

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at January 06, 2018 11:26 AM (8+Ozj) ------------------------ Some use babies, some use crowns, some use raw beans or a piece of dried fruit. Whatever! Then you get into arguments about the shape. Most insist on round --- and you put a crown on the top. But I have run into some Europeans who insist on a rectangle meant to resemble a treasure chest.

I have a ham bone I'm thinking of roasting before making into stock. Never tried that before so looking for Horde advice.
-- There is a school of thought that roasting some kinds of meat/bones before making into stock is a good idea. With roasting, you extract "roasted" meat juices that can then be put back into the pot with your stock vegetables.

Dear Horde-
Trump's Council of Economic Advisors has calculated that under the new rules, comments on the Ace blog will contribute 8000% more to the US GDP than they did under the Obama rules. Also, in 2019 we will take over the role formerly held by the Trilateral Commission. So the day drinking should be...subsidized. By Mexico, and possibly Canada.

Don Surber on Coulter:
Ann Coulter is smart but not wise. She thinks deeply about the superficial, and is superficially about the deep. Her prediction in 2015 that Trump would become the next president was just to get a laugh on the Bill Maher show. Some conservatives seek to please liberals. She seeks to outrage them. But she also sees the history of Republicans being lousy negotiators, so her alarm is not without foundation. People act in logical ways, and once you understand where they are coming from, you better appreciate their struggle. Posted by: Captain Hate at January 06, 2018 12:22 PM (y7DUB) 578
So most high tax states are now trying to classify all state and property taxes as charitable contributions? LOL

Taxing things that are "bad for you" is one of the most pernicious ideas ever.

574 >>>The tax is not collected by the retailer nor is the tax burden intended to fall onto the consumer
Wasn't this intended from the start as a redistribution scheme in the first place? Ie. that white people drink more soda than non-whites, so this tax would be a stealth way to get them to fund government programs for minorities. So the response by Seattle isn't stupid. It's an outright lie. Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at January 06, 2018 12:21 PM (/qEW2) More... the only way you could get people to limit soda consumption, for their own good, was to raise the price. The tax did so... so this 'explanation' is an Obama like lie.... You can keep your soda if you like your soda... Posted by: Don Q. at January 06, 2018 12:29 PM (NgKpN) 594

This kneeling shit has spread to SoCal:
Encinitas commissioners refuse to recite Pledge of Allegiance Two commissioners -- Darius Degher, a Leucadia musician and poet, and Christina Simokat, a New Encinitas resident who teaches environmental science at Cal State San Marcos -- threw a spotlight on the standard agenda item when they both chose not to say the pledge during the commission's Dec. 11 meeting and sat while the other commissioners recited it. Degher joined the seven-member board of unpaid volunteers last spring. He said Tuesday he has two main reasons for declining to participate. The first relates to the nation's current political conditions. He said he believes that President Donald Trump, Trump's former chief strategist Stephen Bannon and members of the far right are fomenting a "hyper-nationalist movement" by appropriating national symbols for their own ends and using them to try to silence people who oppose them. "At this moment in which our democracy is being attacked from within, cheerfully standing for the pledge is like wearing bright colors in a funeral procession," he wrote in a statement that he's been giving out to people who ask about his decision to sit during the pledge.

Willow,
I didn't read through all the comments, so this was probably already addressed, but it sounds to my non-medically-trained ears that you have a serious sinus infection. I'm not a doctor, I just play one at home. :> Posted by: California Girl (not CaliGirl) at January 06, 2018 12:51 PM (wyW7g) 600

501 - I consider my stabilized apartment recompense for the many years I, as a NYC native, hung in here enduring the soaring crime rates, garbage strikes, urban race riots, unrest and worse, while paying the taxes and the rents (so our landlords didn't walk away from their properties), pitching in with community boards and and doing everything else to keep the city running until it got interesting to the developers enough to bring in the newbies with the oversized sense of entitlement. If I and people like me didn't hang in here and keep it running, all those later arrivals wouldn't be here in the first place.
I consider it even. Does anyone really think getting rid of rent regulations will magically free up more housing and lower rent costs? After 9/11, the city gave stipends to non rent regulated people who lived near the WTC to prevent a huge exodus. All the landlords raised their rents.
