Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (6/26/18 ) Quotes of The Day Palooza
Quote I
“When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'.” Groucho MarxQuote II
“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.” Oscar WildeQuote III
“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” Albert EinsteinQuote IV
“We cannot have a world where everyone is a victim. "I'm this way because my father made me this way. I'm this way because my husband made me this way." Yes, we are indeed formed by traumas that happen to us. But then you must take charge, you must take over, you are responsible.” Camille PagliaQuote V
"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T. WashingtonQuote VI
The immigrant now has a superior place in the moral order. The state is now in service to foreigners. Z ManQuote VII
The extraordinary and astounding hypocrisy of it, to see the constancy of the assertion of Christian virtue by political leaders in this country who have established internment camps for babies and toddlers," Schmidt said. "By the way, and I never in a million years thought I would sit here or anywhere and say this, but the difference now between Venezuela and Cuba and the United States is this. Venezuela and Cuba are the countries without internment camps for babies and toddlers." MSNBC analyst Steve Schmidt.Mr. Schmidt you are free to:
[ ] Eat shit
[ ] Fvck off
[ ] Don't let the door hit your ass while you leave for 3rd world shitholes
[x] All of the above Quote VIII
We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Ronald Reagan
Marijuana now has an accepted medical use. The US Food and Drug Administration announced today, Monday June 25, the approval of the country’s first marijuana-based prescription medication. The drug is called Epidiolex and is a plant-derived oral solution of cannabidiol (CBD)—a chemical component of marijuana that does not cause intoxication or a euphoric “high.” The FDA approved it for use in patients aged two and older who suffer from rare and severe forms of epilepsies known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, which can develop early in childhood. Epidiolex’s approval also marks the first time the FDA has approved a drug to treat Dravet syndrome.Do we legalize pot? And crack down on opioids and cocaine? Do we just legalize it all? If we alter this war on drugs we will need to adjust the treatment efforts as well. There is no perfect one size fits all solution to the problems. As long as America is the "Land of the free" there will always be a desire for drugs and alcohol. 'Scuse me while I get off my soap box.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is about to expire. And if the government takes no action, it will go away on September 30. That will leave funding holes at both the state and federal levels that likely won’t be filled for years to come. The LWCF has benefitted American communities and open spaces for more than five decades. But the majority of Americans aren’t even aware of its existence. At the state level, the program funds everything from city pools to public beach access. And its grant program has completed over 40,000 projects since its 1964 inception.
Seems to be a better way to spend money than the joys of sex with contraceptives. Or why Lesbians look fat in flannel.
If you can't run with the big dogs you best stay on the porch or your Mamma's basement. Contrary to the beliefs of leftists, civility is a two-way street.
And one more thing, the men who save the world here during those frightful few months, were white. They were white males. Thank God! for toxic masculinity that could defeat the German war machine. Yes, the ‘Boys of Pointe du Hoc’ could tell a thing or two to our SJWs, safe in their ‘diversity’ positions in our elite universities. It’s time we taught our children the real history of America. The history that saved the world, many times over. The history that put men on the Moon. The history that rebuilt Europe. That is the America I know, and the one I am teaching my children about.
Depending on the subjective definition of "Moderation" I could live to be one old mean bastard.
A recent study has linked a daily cup of coffee and glass of wine to playing a role in the longevity of your life. Ongoing research has revealed similar habits in everyday behaviors of people who live to be 90 and beyond.
The 90+ study is one of the largest studies in the world of the “oldest-old” Americans. Some 1,800 others between the ages 90-99 have jumped on board with this research, contributing their blood and DNA, having their bodies imaged, and sharing details of their lifestyle. The study says that people who drink "moderate amounts of coffee and alcohol" live longer than people who don't.
Spelling and/or formatting errors are a bitch. Or you had one job to do.
June 22 (UPI) -- A 30-foot guitar installed outside of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in New Jersey was corrected after onlookers pointed out a massive typo. The sign, installed Thursday at the corner of Route 30 and Virginia Avenue, contains the details of a Gibson Les Paul guitar, including a rhythm and treble pickup selector switch with a giant misspelling, "RHYTHEM."
Spelling and/or formatting errors are pretty petty in the big game of life. Now we are talking about some serious errors. Fourteen fvcking million dollars are missing. Government. Help. You. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, Yad.
The Crow Tribe of Montana was classified as “high risk” by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for failing to properly document millions of dollars received from the government under the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP), government auditors said in a report released Monday. “We could not perform the audit because the contractor and the BIA could not provide the necessary documentation for its contract or claim,” the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of the Interior (DOI) said.
What's been happening in Manitowoc? Let's find out.
Actress Hilary Duff, 30, recently announced that she and her boyfriend Matthew Koma, 31, are having a baby. When she went on The Late Late Show soon after, she told host James Corden that her six year-old son, Luca, is interested in helping name his new sibling. "We're up for any kind of suggestions, but Luca thinks 'Cofant Croissant' is like, the coolest name," she said. "When I just refer to it as 'Cofant' — and I'm like, 'That would be so cool, no one at school's going to be named 'Cofant'!' — he's like 'Croissant. Cofant Croissant.' It goes together. There's no separating the two."
Kill the (robot) ump! Let's assume someone seriously wants to create a robot umpire or sports referee. Is it possible to build an accurate and trustworthy augmented reality solution today? Or must we wait for the technology to catch up? It was the kind of play that gives an umpire—or a baseball fan—nightmares. It was Oct. 26, 1985, and the sixth game of the World Series was underway at Royals Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. At the top of the ninth inning, the home team was staring into the abyss. Their opponents, the St. Louis Cardinals, were up three games to two and holding a 1-0 lead. If the Royals couldn’t put some runs on the scoreboard stat, the show was over.
Contrary to the screams and cries of Biff Kristol, Rachel Maddow, George Will and others........The United States of America is a pretty damn good place to live.
June 26, 2008, Total Guitar magazine voted Celine Dion’s rendition of the AC/DC track ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ as the world's worst cover version ever. In the best cover versions list, Jimi Hendrix was voted into first place with his version of the Bob Dylan song ‘All Along the Watchtower,’ The Beatles rendition of ‘Twist and Shout’, (first recorded by the Top Notes), was in second place, followed by the Guns N' Roses version of the Wings song ‘Live and Let Die' via thisdayinmusic.com
June 26, 1955, Born on this day, Mick Jones, guitarist, singer with The Clash, who had the 1979 UK No. 11 single London Calling and the 1982 US No. 8 single 'Rock The Casbah. Their 1991 UK No.1 single 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go', was first released 1982. And with Big Audio Dynamite had the 1986 UK No.11 single 'e=mc2'. Jones plays with Carbon/Silicon and also toured the world as part of the Gorillaz live band. via thisdayinmusic.com
A New York Times journalist at the center of questions about media ethics and how information leaked from intelligence services reached new heights Monday after a report from the paper shows the reporter had dated more than one member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Ali Watkins, currently with The times, faced scrutiny after a Department of Justice investigation revealed that she was having a romantic relationship with Senate Security staffer James Wolfe, a man around 30 years her senior, while she was working at other outlets like BuzzFeed news and Politico. But Watkins did not limit her romantic entanglements to just one source

After all the negativity of the last thread, I want to shout that I feel incredibly excited about tomorrow, specifically about what I think is going to happen at 10 pm Eastern Tomorrow. It's foolish to speculate on something that we will all know the truth of in a few hours, so I won't.
But my working hypothesis is that this week is our Battle of Midway - we're still in the middle of it, but I think the outcome of this battle is decided tomorrow morning.
Before the Battle of Midway, the US was always on the defensive in the Pacific. After that battle, the US was always on offense, and Japan retreated from that point forward.
It's coming, just wait for it.

Just think if Yamamato had not lost his nerve at Midway like Kurita did at Surigao. That instead of retreating after the loss of four carriers and the mauling Mikuma and Mogami got; had instead joined with the invasion fleet his force that included Yamato and simply balled their way in to conquer Midway?

26 23. What is this good thing?"
Janus - it's not a big sexy topic, it's technical, and it's hard to explain to people that this is going to be the greatest change to US Labor Law since the Taft Hartley Act of 1947 authorized Right to Work states. It is not going to be an immediate change, but it is going to be a massive, system wide change that is going to change forever how the Democrat Party is funded, and which I believe is going to permanently seal the fate of the Democrat Party as a bi-coastal boutique party with no political bases in the center of the country at all.
And that is going to come on top of the Texas Redistricting Ruling, which was technical but huge, throwing away race based arguments that the left had been pushing for 9 years, and the dismissal of the Exxon Case in Oakland, which will eventually result in the collapse of every enviro-lawsuit the left has been filing around the country, and of course the Trump travel ban win, which demonstrates that these leftist judges and their deep state cohorts have been full of legal shit from the start.
These things may not be as heart pumping as idiot shouting in front of a restaurant, but THESE are the kind of events that shape and mold a countries future permanently.

@48 Just think if Yamamato had not lost his nerve at Midway like Kurita did at Surigao. That instead of retreating after the loss of four carriers and the mauling Mikuma and Mogami got; had instead joined with the invasion fleet his force that included Yamato and simply balled their way in to conquer Midway?
-----------------------
And then what?
The purpose of the invasion was to draw the American carriers into a trap. It's possible (even likely, I'll grant you) that the invasion still could have proceeded. But so far as I can tell, Midway's primary strategic value was that it was closer to Hawaii than Yokosuke was (you might say that it was midway between the two locations /rimshot). And without Carrier Divisions 1 and 2, Japan's offensive strength was pretty much shot until and unless they managed to sink the remaining US carriers. The IJN only had two fleet carriers left at that point - Shokaku and Zuikaku. So long as the US had its carriers, the IJN wasn't going to launch a successful invasion of Hawaii without more carrier strength than it had on hand at that time.

Lurv that lighthouse shot. Ya can tell it was taken in the golden hour. No light like that anywhere.
Ya, fine, the light is nice.
But what kind of lighthouse is that? There are little slits for the beacons and they only point one way?
This is not a traditional lighthouse. The image says Cape Lighthouse, but I assure you it's not from Cape Cod, whence all the best lighthouses spring.
Here, it's not technically Cape Cod, but the Scituate Lighthouse is the epitome of the species:

I'd rather see the money spent on prisons, spent on treatment.
And then the Police would have to go after the gangs and the illegal importers. Instead of the easy meat of the user.
people in jail for years cause they rolled a joint, sniffed a line popped a pill and got caught.
The "wars" against poverty and drugs were lost. It's time to surrender. Apply regulations to illegal importers and dealers.
Time to acknowledge the biblical saying: "blessed are the poor for they will always be with you."
We can't help all the poor we can help them help themselves. But they have to show willing. No generations of families on welfare. No rich people collecting Social Security.
Just stopping the waste by duplicated programs would be a start.

IIRC, the Hornet had lost almost all of its planes at that point. I don't remember how many planes the other two carriers had left, but Hornet's flight groups had been part of the sacrifices that allowed the US latecomers to bomb the first three Japanese carriers.

OScar Wilde as married and had 2 sons, so I guess he did give it a try. THat poor woman. AFter he was jailed she changed her last name to Holland and moved to the Continent with her sons. SHe died in poverty. one son was killed in WWI; the other one married late in life and had a son, Merlin Holland. I met Holland about 15 years ago when he was on a book tour promoting a book about his grandfather. he looks eerily like Oscar.

What is causing it? I've had cats before and never had this problem. Food? Too fat? (I've cut back on her food). Litter brand? She eats wet and dry food? Should I skip the wet food? I'm stumped.

@106 Yep. My sister is a non union educator in a Union system. She has been stolen from for over 2 decades. According to her, there is quiet talk about a lawsuit to recover the dues they were forced to pay. Slim chance of recovery, but the trial and discovery would be buckets of popcorn worthy.
---------------------
Quite a while back, California actually passed a law stating that individual union members could require the union to not use their dues for political purposes. Unsurprisingly, some of the unions (including the state teachers' union) got caught breaking it. They were trying to use some weaselly-worded nonsense to justify what they were doing. The case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, where the unions lost.
That was several years ago.

Saw something the last day or two (likely a leak, so take it with a grain of salt) supposedly from a Trump insider who said that Trump is expecting at least two retirements before his first term end."
A lot of people expect Kennedy to retire. Can't see any of the 4 libs doing that, but RBG ain't no spring chicken. Possible that Thomas could be getting tired of the grind, but I hope he stays on.

Grump, that is the wild card.
But after three separate attacks that sank four carriers and one cruiser while damaging another cruiser, what kind of airpower did Spruance have left?
Torpedo planes? There were maybe five Devastators left between the two ships. During the strike against Mogami and Mikuma they were ordered not to attack unless there was no serious threat.
Dive bombers, both carriers had suffered losses to their four Dauntless squadrons. McClusky's long search cost a few planes going into the drink after running out of fuel. Ring's erratic flight and return also cost planes. Then there was the combat. Both carriers also had orphans from Yorktown that helped fill holes. But cohesion was iffy.
Fighters? IIRC some of Hornet's F4Fs went in the drink trying to reach the Japanese. Plus combat losses.
Supplies? Spruance turned back because he was running low on fuel for his ships after attacking the two Japanese cruisers.
Midway's airpower. What was left? The Marines were pretty much wiped out. VT-8 Detached only had one bullet riddled plane left. OF the four 22d Bomb Grp (Med) B-26s, the two survivors were shot up. And the B-17s had proven they couldn't hit anything from high altitude. The PBYs might have been game for a night torpedo attack.
So it could have been possible for Yamamato to actually succeed. But he wouldn't have gotten the remaining American carriers. So he would have still lost.

Better hope the GOP holds the Senate,then, or those SCOTUS vacancies will never be filled with conservative jurists.
In fact, given the proclivities of a RINO or three to "put country ahead of party" (Jeff Flake), a WORKING GOP majority would probably require more than 50 + Pence.

I never pray for RBG's good health. On the other hand.... Well, better not go there. But she is 85 and looks like a walking corpse, so it could happen any day. Kennedy is 81 and has made noises about retiring in the last couple of years. Thomas has also mentioned the possibility. He is merely 70. Breyer is another old one, at 79. All told, there is a good chance Trump will get a couple more appointments in his first term, and almost a certainty he will get at least three or four by a second term, on top of Gorsuch. Thomas would be a trade-off for a younger Conservative, the rest could be improvements. This could vastly change the direction of the courts for a generation.

I misspoke. I'm pretty sure it was that he would need to replace two justices, not necessarily that they would retire. So it's possible that RBG is one that he's anticipating a replacement for.

But my working hypothesis is that this week is our Battle of Midway - we're still in the middle of it, but I think the outcome of this battle is decided tomorrow morning.
Before the Battle of Midway, the US was always on the defensive in the Pacific. After that battle, the US was always on offense, and Japan retreated from that point forward.
It's coming, just wait for it.

Obviously need to go back and refresh on Midway, but -
* thought that Hornet lost some but not all of her planes, and as they never contacted the Japanese fleet, they didn't really contribute to the outcome (or is it just the dive-bombers that were way off?)
* thought Mogami was savaged by land-based aircraft?
* like junior, would think that the invasion force would be at great risk of aerial attack (I assume Midway would be reinforced with aircraft from Hawaii if possible)
But still on an eastern front jag (starting two more books on that), so Midway will have to wait. On that topic, somewhat amusing - today a Russian couple came in where I volunteer, and the guy was also a history geek. He guessed that my last book was by Glantz when I described the period I just read about - and agreed Glantz wrote reference books, not readable history books. They were from a Urals-area town that still has industry first moved there in 1942 to escape the German invasion (obviously quite different industry now, but that was the start - place was strictly farm country before that).

Do we legalize pot? And crack down on opioids and cocaine? Do we just legalize it all? If we alter this war on drugs we will need to adjust the treatment efforts as well. There is no perfect one size fits all solution to the problems.

I used to tell liberal friends that we could legalize drugs or have national healthcare. Not both. They would argue about fat white men getting weight loss surgery or knee replacement, but I would argue that food eating is programmed into us. Breathing smoke or stabbing ourselves with needles takes an overiding of natural qualms about self injury.

In the best cover versions list, Jimi Hendrix was voted into first place with his version of the Bob Dylan song 'All Along the Watchtower,' The Beatles rendition of 'Twist and Shout', (first recorded by the Top Notes), was in second place, followed by the Guns N' Roses version of the Wings song 'Live and Let Die' via thisdayinmusic.com

Trump needs to do his own thorough background investigation of any potential nominees.
Just checking that they've ruled according to Constitutional principles up to now is not enough.
You also need to check to make sure they don't have ANY blackmail material in their background -- such as whatever the communists managed to dig up on Roberts.

Midway alternative history: Yamamoto may have been able to take Midway after the loss of the four carriers. It may have lengthened the war by six to eight months, IMHO. The Japanese on Midway would have been more unsupportable than those on Guadalcanal turned out to be. The big near-term effect would probably have been delaying the US's Guadalcanal move, to re-take Midway.
That would have been a good short-term thing for the Japanese if everything played out the same as actual history: Had the Japanese been able to complete what became Henderson Field, and put enough aircraft there to deter US carrier ops in support of landings in the southern Solomons, Admiral King would have had to pick another point of attack for the first counter-offensive.
Still, the Japanese lose the war, and lose it big.

Junior, seizure of Midway would have given the Japanese an air base to more directly attack Pearl. Perhaps this time the Japanese would hit the oil tanks Nagumo's caution missed on 7 Dec and thus starve the US Pacific Fleet back to the West Coast.
What did Nimitz have left at Pearl air wise? Odds and ends of Saratoga's air group that did not get absorbed by any of the other three carriers. Plus the 12 brand new TBF-1 Avengers of VT-8 Detached who were still saddled with the same bad torpedo as the TBD.
As for ships. USS Long Island, the first escort carrier in the Pacific, was on the West Coast giving cover to Admiral Pye's surviving battle line. Other destroyers were on convoy duty. So Nimitz would have to rely on Spruance's fragile air groups and submarines like Nautilus to discourage Yamamato from pushing it.
The margin of victory was far far thinner than most realize. But instead of gutting it out to take Midway he adhered to the precepts of naval power as proposed by Mahan; so Yamamato turned around vowing to apologize to the Emperor personally while many of his staff thought of committing suicide.

That's solid counter-factual history there, Gref. Jap-occupied Midway was totally indefensible and unsustainable - esp. given Japan's sudden fleet carrier problem (and it's unimaginable they would risk those two, their last, to try and hold onto Midway), but would still have to be re-taken.
Or ..... not? Why not treat Midway, in the last half of 1942, like a bypassed island in the central or southwest Pacific? Without airpower aboard Midway, it was pretty harmless. And would be subject to relentless attack - a perfect range, for example, for our battleship force (most damaged and refloated) to work on their bombardment skills.
So maybe Guadalcanal could still start in August. And whatever land forces and ships Japan had devoted to Midway would be write-offs, like so much of their resources ended up being later in the war.

@165 thought that Hornet lost some but not all of her planes, and as they never contacted the Japanese fleet, they didn't really contribute to the outcome (or is it just the dive-bombers that were way off?)
---------------------------
Sadly, waaaay off. The torpedo unit that lost 29 of its 30 members (Ensign Gay was the sole survivor, and watched the entire battle while clinging to a floating cushion) was the Hornet's torpedo group. My vague recollection is that the Hornet's dive bomber group only got out slightly less scathed.
Also, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I happen to agree with Anna that Yamamoto likely could have taken Midway if he'd pushed forward. My argument is that doing so wouldn't have served any strategic purpose, and Japan would have been stuck running supply ships out to a remote outpost that would have been largely useless until such time as the Japanese could get a solid edge over the US in carrier strength.

While my work on the 2nd Amendment has not had direct visible impact - I believe that it has had real impact nevertheless.
1. None of the Newspapers I have sent my editorial to have joined in on the usual left wing anti 2nd amendment stuff after getting the editorial. The one exception is the NY Times which published former Justice Stevens editorial calling for repeal of the second amendment instead of my editorial. I take that as a panic response on their part - which was criticized by the rest of the leftists.
2. The last time Shaved Guevara was interviewed she didn't want to talk about gun control - but steered the topic to generic "women's issues". This was after I sent her a copy of the felony complaint I filed with the FBI about her activity. Since Camera Hogg was also in the complaint I note he has been pretty quiet about the subject since he graduated from high school also.
I think I am going to try getting the NRA to publish my editorial in American Rifleman magazine.

Do we legalize pot? And crack down on opioids and cocaine? Do we just legalize it all? If we alter this war on drugs…
Okay, not to get too heavy on a lovely ONT night, I hope: Note the words, war on DRUGS. War on CRIME. War on TERROR. Just to start with, ain' no sech thang.
I call it the war on some users of some substances.
Dang! I just gooshed a fly on my monitor with my thumb. (Does victory dance while washing up.)
All prohibition, all blue laws, are practically religious imposition. What goes on with individual consumption and the production and sale and acquisition of substances (or sex) ain' nobody's biznizz if I do. That is, IN AND OF ITSELF, they are not transgressions.
Beyond self-harm and self-destruction, the SYMPTOMS of sin which affect others are, for examples, child neglect or abuse, promulgation of contagion, general endangerment and reckless accidents. Doesn't matter in result if it's because you're stoned, shopaholic, or texting while driving, those are ALL transgressions, threat or harm. That is when Social intervention becomes required.
Damn. This is too long. You get the idea. I'll reserve the conclusions. I've been hammering the same thing for years (see mindfulwebworks.com/radical-incline). Short form: Prohibition per se is wrong; so is failing to enforce the protection against transgression.
If I've softened in anything since my libertarian origins on this, it might be that use of some substances in and of themselves represent threat. Never did 'em, but I deem that meth immediately voids judgment and those FloridaMan bath salts make meth seem mild, yet are there actually folks who can "handle it," not do so much they transgress and only lose their teeth? I don't know. But declaring a substance used as making one criminal on the worst drugs is a slippery slope - one that goes back through booze prohib and on down to anything moral warriors don't like today.
Mostly, only spiritual peace can prevent forest fires.

The tax code punishes married people."
There's a lot of truth to that. I can imagine a scenario where what that couple did would make perfect sense. Suppose the husband had some reason to know that his health was at risk - not unlikely. If they stayed married and all property was community property, they would have to sell their house and be stripped of all of their assets before he would get full Medicaid help. (this does vary some from State to State) BUT if they got divorced, and he granted her complete ownership of the house and all other assets in the settlement, then he can get FULL Medicaid support when he gets sick and needs it, and the wife gets to keep the house and all of their assets.
When the support in question adds up to a couple hundred thousands of dollars worth of elder care, that's a Big Deal.

Jeopardy today had the returning champion pull a Cliff Clavin (or nearly so). She wasn't so far ahead that nobody could catch her, but she bet much more than she had to to guarantee a win. So when everyone missed the final question, she ended up in second place.
More amazing still, the guy who won played terribly throughout. He was only in contention because he got the last answer in Double Jeopardy, which was a Daily Double. He risked everything but $1, and got the answer correct.

It is aiding and abetting the enemy. They are making cucks out of all the people buying into this civil war shit. Yes, let's ramp up the hysterics more than even the press does.
This whole thing infuriates me. How many times do we have to play into the left's hands. It also depresses me...which is worse.
So put a pin in it.

@215 What did Nimitz have left at Pearl air wise? Odds and ends of Saratoga's air group that did not get absorbed by any of the other three carriers. Plus the 12 brand new TBF-1 Avengers of VT-8 Detached who were still saddled with the same bad torpedo as the TBD.
------------------
And what did the Japanese have air-wise?
Four of their best six air groups were effectively lost at Midway. While Shukaku and Zuikaku both survived Coral Sea in relatively good shape, iirc they both lost their air groups there. The Japanese could have easily replaced the planes (and did). But their core of trained and experienced naval pilots was gone (particularly since, unlike the US, they didn't rotate experienced pilots out to train new pilots).

Tami, there might be something wrong with the cat.
When Ra, he was born tailless, was a kitten he did not get the hang of wiping himself. So he had a stinky matted mess of a butt. Which meant I had to wash him. He did not like the experience at all, then again neither did I. But in the years since I have never had to wipe his butt again.

As a doc in a "legal marijuana state" I'd like to put my 2 cents in:
Syncope (fainting) and dizziness - way up particularly in female partakers.
Hyperemesis meaning intractable nausea and vomiting with the severe dehydration that would entail- way up in partakers of both sexes and now a common cause of ER visits.
Toxicity to toddlers and young children who have accidentally eaten a "pot brownie" or somesuch - up something like 50%.
I'm under the impression that accidents and seeking "disability" are also up from my own experience.
Ok - we'll legalize your favorite drug. Will you pay for all the consequences? Because I already work a boat load and pay for as many free loaders as I want to right now.
PS - if you can't do pot and keep your job and support the kids you decided to make, then you can't do pot.

2. They're not completely wrong. A sound mind in a sound body is very old-fashioned. It would't hurt if we gave a liittle more of a shit in this area.

OK, junior, well like I said, need to refresh my Midway factoids! Guess it was the fighter group from Hornet that got lost - or at least searched the wrong area and lost many to fuel/ditchings afterwards?
But as you noted Midway was means to an end (finishing off US carrier force), not an end in itself. And I see no way Japan sustains or defends that conquest, in any case. And I think my "bypass" idea would have probably worked. Use Midway as, literally, a training range for new squadrons/ships deploying to the Pacific, as we did with some bypassed islands in the central Pacific. Otherwise, it rots on the vine.

to rhomboid at 240:
Good point about "bypassing" Midway for a while, and proceeding with the Guadalcanal move. Knowing what we know today, that's the right strategic move. The Japanese could have managed some bomber attacks on Pearl Harbor from Midway, but would have taken losses as bad or worse than they did on missions to Guadalcanal from Rabaul, and would not have been able to sustain a long, seriously damaging campaign. Also, transporting aircraft fuel and bombs to Midway would have proven costly in sunken ships due to US submarine attacks.
The wild card is whether cooler heads would have prevailed, and resisted the overwhelming pressure from the public and perhaps many high-raking military officers to re-take Midway ASAP for both pride and revenge reasons.

Shokaku's bow was bombed out but her air group was mostly intact. Zuikaku had little damage but almost no air group. If the Japanese had simply plopped the intact air group on the intact carrier, Nagumo could have had a fifth carrier at Midway.
The Aleutian force had two light carriers. Yamamato had the grand old lady of all Japanese carriers Hosho with him. Memory also tells me the invasion force had a light carrier with it. So he would have had limited air cover if he would have ordered his vastly larger force to actually concentrate in one spot..

It happened too quickly and all over the country.

The Food industry may know but don't dare say a thing.
Think of the lawsuits. And it's so ingrained into the recipes that they can't get rid of it.

Actually junior I think only one of the two (Zuikaku and Shokaku) had a heavily damaged air wing - the other ship sustained damage at Coral Sea, thus both carriers were out of action under Japanese practice, which kept air wings with their own carriers. Can never remember which carrier had which issue.

About that marijuana medication. ..
A bit over 20 yrs ago, my first husband was dying of a rare form of lung cancer. The chemo made him very ill (nausea, vomiting, no appetite ). Docs prescribed Marinol which was derived from marijuana. Calmed the nausea, improved the appetite and helped with pain to some small extent. It was extremely expensive at $70 per pill.
So why do they say this new stuff is the first ever?

THAT is what far too people on our side realize! Not even many of the ground level democrats know that, the leadership tries to hide it.
Driving a stake through the heart of the Democrat controlled unions drives a stake through the heart of the Democrat Party itself. After that, they become totally beholden to freakish west coast millionaires, who despise the rest of this country and who have not a clue how to gain a political following. (see Tom Steyer, example #1)

I suspect that this will only affect Federal workers. My guess is that state laws that require such things will be allowed to stand. For that, you're going to need people like Gov. Walker in Wisconsin.

I seem to recall reading that animals are getting fatter as well. Wild, paranoid theory is that the Earth is about to go through another climactic shift, not for the better, and our bodies are adjusting.
Saner theory? People are a lot more sedentary, cleaner hygiene, and less starvation. We sit around, burning fewer calories, have less muscle tone, which makes us look fatter and burns fewer calories. We have fewer parasites than a couple generations ago, and fewer diseases, which means our bodies don't face the same stresses that previous generations endured which kept them lean. Finally, people have more food than previous generations. Our bodies developed in an environment where we take in more food than we actually need, because we may at any point face a lack of meals, a parasite, or a need to burn a lot of calories (such as moving the tribe or pursuing prey over a vast distance).

324 About that marijuana medication. ..
A bit over 20 yrs ago, my first husband was dying of a rare form of lung cancer. The chemo made him very ill (nausea, vomiting, no appetite ). Docs prescribed Marinol which was derived from marijuana. Calmed the nausea, improved the appetite and helped with pain to some small extent. It was extremely expensive at $70 per pill.
So why do they say this new stuff is the first ever?

Too many ppl overfeeding their animals.
they are genetically geared to be always hunting. Cats and dogs are opportunistic feeders.
If it's there they'll eat it. If they know where to get it they will dig until they get to it.
just their nature. You as the more intelligent of the partnership (I assume) are responsible to say NO!
If you absolutely cannot bear to ignore them feed them small bits. It's a feeding ritual also and small bits will satisfy that need.
Imagine they don't eat much more than a mouse sized object for cats and a rat sized object for medium size dogs. Adjust the amount to the size of their mouth.
a teaspoon or so is good. for cats a bit less.
Then distract them by leaving the feeding area. And stop eating your self you will encourage them to beg and you are getting fat too!

One of the benefits of legalization is that the increased availability of edibles like gummies and candies means that people who want to get high at concerts don't have to stink up the place to do so.

Fight and call the cops. Fine. Then what? Because the Berkeley case zombie shared earlier, to say nothing of the general stand-down of law enforcement in blue areas, means it's open season on non-communists. The 'authorities' are with the enemy in most urban areas. Fight back and get curb-stomped and prosecuted for your trouble. The enemy are acting collectively; individual acts have no chance.

The being fat could do it. If she can't reach it she can't clean it.
If wipes aren't good for her. go to vet. They'll have much more suggestions specific for her.

From a peer reviewed article: "Medical emergencies related to cannabis use increased by 29% from 2009 to 2011"
Aaand I know this because I see the people with it as well as with the other issues fairly frequently now.
So no - I'm not a "doc" with the disrespect that implies. I'm a doctor and know what's going on - no italics needed.
I did not say it was better than alcohol. Every choice you make comes with costs/risks. Marijuana is not somehow magically excluded from that.
I can't help but notice how many of the recreational users come to clinic trying to put forward some BS concept of disability they want. These requests have multiplied exponentially since the legalization in our state. They want to sit at home and do pot while the workers pay their way. Nope - not interested.

I know. Tinfoil hat time. But I just can't figure why it happened so quickly all over the country. Least it seemed to me sudden.
There is pretty good evidence from research done in India that there is a virus that causes obesity. One of the telltale signs of infection with the virus is that the patient is obese but has low cholesterol numbers.

They seem to have mistakenly hired both a creative video director and a script writer with at least one ball each.
When the Left begins calling them racists, sexist and mysogonist for simply showing video of actual Libtard activity, I hope that this time they do not fold.

I think this. I had to go on a medication when I was in college and one of the side affects was weight gain. So I decided to be proactive and go to a nutrtionist. I started gaining weight, and then was on one program after another.
I chalked it up to my metabolic problems until my niece who has a severe insulin problem went to a doctor who told her to get ofv the high carb/lowfat diets. I just about died of anger, every damn program I tried and the nutrtionist, too, had me on high carb/lowfat.
On the flip side, I live in a town with almost no obese children. They play video games, but they also ride bikes or walk everywhere. And their parents think that growing children need more fish and meat!

Thankfully the tax base is small. They risked so much for so little money. It's amazing.
And no body gave them a second look.
Here's a business tip: never have anybody doing your books and paying your bills that is the only one doing all that. it is a recipe for embezzlement.
There should always be someone else necessary to sign the checks and knows how the books are kept. Preferably an outside professional paid to find trouble.

Before the Battle of Midway, the US was always on the defensive in the Pacific. After that battle, the US was always on offense, and Japan retreated from that point forward.------
-------
Midway was in 1942. To say that the US was always on the defensive doesn't quite state it correctly. Seven months after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Uncle Sam was able to turn around the war in the Pacific.

Crap that's me. I don't have optimum cholesterol but it's low enough the doctors don't argue with me when i tell them I'm not taking any statins.
No point. they only help those that are younger with way higher cholesterol. And they only statistically raise your longevity by like 30%.
i told this one doc: at my age it would mean like 4 months extra living. Pfft. Come get me death. I'm already bored and my other med problems aren't bad but they vex the hell out of me and make my life tedious. I don't need no maybe extra 4 months.
I've been considering acquiring a heroin addiction cause of the crappy legal pain meds they give me.
I wouldn't take enough to nod off. Just enough to get mellow and feel comfy.

I dropped off my GOP primary ballot today. I decided I agree with BTH that Doug Lopez seems like the best candidate for Governor, so that's who got my vote there.
A big chunk of my thinking was tactical. Walker Stapleton is another candidate, and I'd prefer not to have to hold my nose and vote for another member of the Bush clan.
But, Victor Mitchell has pretty much based his campaign on, "Don't vote for Stapleton. He's a Bush! Vote for me instead."
This is true, and I agree with the basic sentiment, but... our local GOP is very pro-Bush. The Bushes have a lot of pull around here, and I kind of didn't want a candidate who's alienated their supporters to such an extent that they have a plausible excuse to oppose the Republican. Trump did not win Colorado's electoral votes, and I don't think Mitchell would stand any sort of chance of doing better than that.
Also, we have a lot of Hispanics around here, and that's a voting bloc with a high degree of own-group preference. A GOP candidate named Lopez might just be able to peel off enough of those voters to have a shot at winning.
Lopez seems good enough on the issues for those tactical considerations to make him look like the best candidate overall, IMO. I'll probably still vote for whoever wins the GOP primary here, but I'll feel a lot better about my vote if it isn't for a Bush.

(One of my favorite things in all of music is that Pete Townsend is a genius who can't sing his own songs and Roger Daltrey is an idiot who doesn't even know what they mean but is the only one who can sing them.)

Otherwise America is gonna be destroyed.
Which is what the globalists want, of course. I don't want to help them. We need the wall. Now.

...the difference now between Venezuela and Cuba and the United States is this. Venezuela and Cuba are the countries without internment camps for babies and toddlers.
That's because neither of those other countries are worth crossing deserts, fording rivers, braving drug gang death squads, and risking arrest to break into, much less bringing their children along to enjoy the experience.

My great grandparents, on both sides, were farmers. Quite naturally, they consumed enormous quantities of eggs, pork products, and potatoes for breakfast, and switched it up to home made and ground bread and beef products combined with pork and chicken for a huge lunch. My grandparents were the same. All meals had a large variety of veggies fresh picked from their own separate garden.
They also physically worked their ever loving ass off from sunup to 11:00 lunch, and then from about 11:45 to sundown, going in to a small dinner.
This was the agrarian diet, and the were skinny and sinewy as hell, but tough as nails.

The link is there in the comment I left - to a dozen peer reviewed scientific journal articles.
If you do pot and work and pay your bills and have not had to use the ER - bully for you.
Just saying that there have been high new costs to society that people (apparently like yourself) refuse to acknowledge. Or is it now forbidden to discuss the real costs of something new?
Again - it's not superior to be someone who sucks off society due to alcoholism than due to other drug abuse. Both are failing to contribute and failing to grow as people.
Just pointing out, the pro-cannabis crowd have not been honest (or maybe are ignorant) about the effects - we are seeing them and they are real.
Again - I'm pretty libertarian in my leanings but it is fact that I'm seeing more 25 year-olds seeking disability than at any time in my long career, and when we get down to it, marijuana often seems to be playing a major role. Things massively accelerated after the legalization. There was an extension from occasional illicit activity to daily can't-live-without-it habit that for some (not every one obviously) has been a problem.

When she went on The Late Late Show soon after, she told host James Corden that her six year-old son, Luca, is interested in helping name his new sibling.
"We're up for any kind of suggestions, but Luca thinks Cofant Croissant is like, the coolest name," she said.
"When I just refer to it as Cofant and I'm like, 'That would be so cool, no one at school's going to be named Cofant! he's like Croissant. Cofant Croissant. It goes together. There's no separating the two."

Isn't the weed being sold these days more powerful than previously? Like using additives for it too?
this may be a case of the growers pumping up the levels so ppl get high quicker and for less intake cause the stuff these days costs a fortune.
They should go back to just plain ol mexican weed.
Took half a joint to get a buzz. (or so they tell me)
That may be part of the problem.
The other is over ingestion. You really can't overdose on weed but you can get so mind f**ked you go to the ER just for company. Or something to do.

I think the worst cover ever is Bootsy Collins singing Steve Miller's The Joker. You've heard it if you've watched the movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
The thing that makes it so terrible is, a lot of The Steve Miller Band's early songs were basically cover-proof, because Miller really liked to reference other songs that he'd made.
You really should not even bother covering The Joker unless you've already covered Space Cowboy, Gangster Of Love, Maurice, and Pompetus Of Love.
Oh, and you shouldn't cover Space Cowboy unless you've already covered Living In The USA and Gangster Of Love.
Just like how you should never cover any song about your guitar unless you actually play a guitar. If you don't play a guitar, do not cover George Harrison's My Guitar Gently Weeps or Ana Gabriel's Guitarra Mia. And don't do a cover of Aerosmith's Dream On if you're 19! There are no "lines in my face getting clearer" at that age.
Bootsy, I do not believe that anyone has ever called you the Space Cowboy or Maurice. You've never covered either of those songs, and... you're a girl!

Isaac Newton died a virgin.
"No kidding? What colour?"
Oddly enough, I got on the wrong side of a Newton fan with that one, on another site that purports to be all friendly and shit, and he sent me a little missive about how unimportant my life and children are compared to him.
He never did get the joke. I've been noticing, the Internet is like that.

Washed up Actress Hilary Duff, 30, recently announced that she and her boyfriend Matthew Koma, 31, are having a baby.
When, in a futile attempt to revive her non-career, the slut went on The Late Late Show soon after, she told host James Corden [who?] that her six year-old son, Luca, is interested in helping name his new sibling.
"We're up for any kind of suggestions, but Luca thinks 'Cofant Croissant' is like, the coolest name," she said.
"When I just refer to it as 'Cofant' — and I'm like, 'That would be so cool, no one at school's going to be named 'Cofant'!' — he's like 'Croissant. Cofant Croissant.' It goes together. There's no separating the two."
And I'm like, why wasn't this retarded bitch spayed?
How about naming him "Spot?" Or "Fido?" Or, perhaps more appropriately, "Burst Condom?"
And if you're "up" for any suggestions, how about keeping your legs together henceforth?
Just a thought.

speaking of pot, someone needs to tell colorado that abandoned fields do not really qualify as open spaces. well, they qualify as open spaces but there is no need to mark them with fancy signs and celebrate them.
Also, dry creeks would be in the same category. Further, dry creeks that are set aside as open spaces, especially the big dry creek open space and the little dry creek open space, would be better labeled "gulch", sounds cooler.

It occurs to me that we need some shithole country to come to a sticky end, just to serve as an example to others. Looks like Mexico is volunteering for that role. OK, go all social justicey lefty. We build the wall, close the border, impose huge tariffs on all products coming out of Mexico, impose a 30% withholding tax on all remittances to Mexico, and summarily deport any and every illegal alien we catch.
Then we watch the Mexican economy collapse, and Obrador stood against a wall and shot by insurrectionists.

Thank you mindful webworker, a thoughtful discussion you present. As someone who has done waaaay more then my fair share of bad stuff, it certainly seems to me that alcohol and weed are more alike than not in the context of other, harder drugs and it stands to reason that they have the same legal status. People talk about meth, but meth is mostly a self harming drug. It should certainly stay illegal. I think cocaine is actually much more harmful to society in general, because it encourages both self harm and harm to others depending on the situation and manner of its usage.

The literature club game is not made by a japanese guy, at least from his name: Dan Salvato. The game seems to be primarily him trying to work through his love hate relationship with anime.
This reminds me of a couple of things. One, a guy I worked with once told me about a Japanese movie called 'Suicide Club' or something similar. There is something odd in the culture there.
Two, I am always fascinated by how many artists are actually using art to work out and even express their personal issues and demons.

Anyhoo, bout a year ago sat in a room where peeps were just vaping real pot oil, not the stripled down legal stuff.
I got a contact buzz, laughed, had of Doritos and about 8 Twix bars, and went to bed.
All of this because of the exhalations of pot vapors.
I would not even take one hit of current pot now, plsnt form or vaper.

@545 There is some NetFlix show that glorifies suicide. I only heard about it because an actress was complaining her daughters have watched it (at a friends I think), and how it has put dangerous thoughts in their heads. Unusual to hear an actress blast a TV show, but she did, and said it should not be on the airwaves.

I haven't watched it myself, but I'd thought it was supposed to be more of a "stop mistreating fellow students so they don't kill themselves" sort of a series. Guess I was wrong?
Also, over at Sarah Hoyt's blog they mentioned some troubling bits about it that I can't recall at the moment.

Francisco Solano Lopez was more of a Louis Napoleon III than any sort of Socialist.
And he was, by the way, he was spending his loans on infrastructure and modernizing his country the best he could, but he wanted to also be important and negotiate, and later come to the rescue of the Uruguayan government, much the way ol Louis Napoleon III got involved in Piedmont Sardinia and Rome.
His bad luck was to be on the wrong side of the Argentinos, their puppet government in Uruguay and have something the Brazilians wanted.
The general slaughter came about because there was no way the Paraguayans would have surrendered to those three armies

Teh Drugz - legalize all the drugs, regulate the market. Treat addiction like a medical condition on a par with, say, diabetes. Remember - the only problem an addict really has is supply, and that's where the problem comes in.

The addicts' problem is raising the money to buy the dope. My problem is the crime they commit in order to raise the money.
You cannot ever control drug use by only interdicting the supply side. All that does is make it ever more profitable for the smart dealers who don't get caught.

I'll give Axl Rose credit and say that Guns and Roses did a decent cover of Live And Let Die. It was not the third best cover of all time.
As evidence, I present some vastly superior covers of Guns and Roses songs!

Posted by: Bandersnatch at June 26, 2018 11:05 PM (fuK7c)
Agreed. One of my favorite things within that is that, and this is a guess, that Roger Daltrey drew the line at singing one part of a song, so Pete had do do it.

Interesting, but irrelevant. Venezuelan elections are subject to fraud that would make a Democrat blush. Besides which, in a dictatorship, power holds the only vote. The question is, "who has that vote?"

I read the book and discussed it with kids who had. It is a revenge fantasy about killing oneself and having all the meanies regret it. The girl who killed herself gets a cute classmate to deliver audiotapes to the people she blames for making her commit suicide.
The series is more graphic than the book.

-------------------
What I've heard with Ceaucescu was that one day (in December of 1989) he held a public rally... and no one cheered. This was literally unheard of. It had never happened before. There was *always* cheering at his rallies. So it simultaneously rattled him badly (which was obvious as it happened in the middle of his big televised speech), and made the entire country realize that they could give him the figurative middle finger and everyone else in the country would support them.
Dictators can't afford to have a personal crisis of confidence on national television.

When I recently found out Netflix made a series about it, it horrified me.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."

You have provided me with hours and hours of highly entertaining content, clogged my browser with unusual-to-me youtube videos, and have a heartening picture on the ONT every night you post. Google must have quite a file on me by now.
Plus your pet thread published my pictures of the baby Eastern Phoebes.

Another interesting band, that does Bossa Nova covers, is Nouvelle Vague.
Their cover of "Dance With Me"

For comparison, the original video for the original song (and yes, that one shows why the lyrics are so disturbing).

@687 When I recently found out Netflix made a series about it, it horrified me.
----------------
There's something very very wrong going on over at Netflix right now. And it's not just their decision to let Obama get involved with their shows (though that's almost certainly connected).

What I've heard with Ceaucescu was that one day (in December of 1989) he held a public rally... and no one cheered. This was literally unheard of. It had never happened before. There was *always* cheering at his rallies. So it simultaneously rattled him badly (which was obvious as it happened in the middle of his big televised speech), and made the entire country realize that they could give him the figurative middle finger and everyone else in the country would support them.

That's exactly my point. What happened yesterday is not necessarily a guide to what will happen tomorrow. I've pounded this into my sons: eschew the fallacy of the linear extrapolation. History occurs at the discontinuities. Everything will continue as it has, until it doesn't, when something, perhaps some little thing, sets long-building events off in a new direction.
I call it the "avalanche effect."

I will say that you have not thought this through.
However, this is because , I suspect, that you are an honorable and decent person, and the idea of person crimes for the sake of committing crimes does not occur to you.
Something will have to be done for those crimes that Tweekrs like to commit, or at least deal with the broken and abused lives they leave in their wake.
And perhaps find some way to cope with the time to time psychotic break that makes a user to use a brick to beat middle-aged man to death while he was walking his dog at 5 am on a residential street.

Lester Lanin had a society orchestra that played big events in DC. There was nothing exciting about Lanin's charts, but they were good for social conversation while dancing in formal wear. They played the White House when Nixon was in office, and had a version of "Satisfaction."
There has to be some kind of special rating for that, wouldn't you think?

I have a bleg to make to the horde.
There's a parody Twitter account of Justin's Minister of the Environment (or Climate Change etc.) that was banned by Twitter but is now returned.
So if any horde members on Twitter (I'm not BTW) would follow the parody account to pump up its numbers, it would be a nice eff-you to Justin, the Canadian MFM, and Twitter.
Here it is:

The real one and not the parody one is also known as "Climate Barbie" if you want to net search that phrase for some background information.
Come on. You'd do it if the same happened to Sean Spicier!

They didn't decide that until one day when they were facing demonstrators. That morning, they were on board with Nick. That evening, they were on the other side.

One item that just struck me about the idiots confronting McConnell and his wife-
The idiots' professed reason for harassing McConnell was the family separation thing. What they don't realize is that McConnell is the *only* person so far who's taking actual useful steps to try and end that. Trump issued his EO, but has to overcome a previous court ruling to keep the EO going for more than a few weeks (and I'm not sanguine about the chances of that happening; it's not Trump's fault, mind you). Schumer has actively come out in opposition to the Senate doing anything about it. I haven't heard a peep from either Ryan or Pelosi about the House passing anything to put a stop to it. So McConnell is being harassed because of a policy that he - and only he - is actively trying to bring to an end.

Just saying that there have been high new costs to society that people (apparently like yourself) refuse to acknowledge. Or is it now forbidden to discuss the real costs of something new?
Again - it's not superior to be someone who sucks off society due to alcoholism than due to other drug abuse. Both are failing to contribute and failing to grow as people.
Just pointing out, the pro-cannabis crowd have not been honest (or maybe are ignorant) about the effects - we are seeing them and they are real.
Again - I'm pretty libertarian in my leanings but it is fact that I'm seeing more 25 year-olds seeking disability than at any time in my long career, and when we get down to it, marijuana often seems to be playing a major role. Things massively accelerated after the legalization. There was an extension from occasional illicit activity to daily can't-live-without-it habit that for some (not every one obviously) has been a problem.

One of the great C&W tunes
She's mighty tall and handsome
And loved by one and all
She's the combination
Called the Wabash Cannonball
Oh listen to the jingle
The rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of her engine
Hear that lonesome hobo's call
We're travelling through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball

The rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of her engine
Hear that lonesome hobo's call
We're travelling through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball

Saw Jupiter at 0 deg relative, Venus at 090 relative and the Moon at 340 relative as I was walking south after dusk. Jupiter was high and bright. They were all just above a super-cell moving east. A stunning cloud formation, lit from within by cloud to cloud stuff.

Again - I'm pretty libertarian in my leanings but it is fact that I'm seeing more 25 year-olds seeking disability than at any time in my long career, and when we get down to it, marijuana often seems to be playing a major role. Things massively accelerated after the legalization. There was an extension from occasional illicit activity to daily can't-live-without-it habit that for some (not every one obviously) has been a problem.

Mom update...
She's moving her right side a bit better, but speech is still difficult. She is able to swallow after the stroke, so she can (thank God) have coffee after nearly a week. (She really craved coffee.)
She's eating pureed food but still having a tough time with it. It has to be administered carefully.
She'll be transferred closer to home in a few days, but she is out of the I.C.U.
Her physical therapy begins soon and I want to be there for it, but I have to work. My Dad will be no help at all, as he is eating me out of House and Home and doesn't remember yesterday.
He fed my dog the wrong pills and I'll have to tell him again tomorrow not to give the dogs any pills.
I'm just fucking stressed to my wits' end. Thank God my Brother is there to help. I'd be fucked without him.
Your prayers are not only appreciated, but needed.

A 25 year old seeking, or worse, being granted disability payments because he'd rather spend his days lounging and stoned is a hideous sight.
But so is a 50 year old Marin County resident with family money, a grey ponytail, and a permanent anger problem from decades of pot smoking.
One of the most useful rules of thumb for drugs is that long term use produces the opposite effect from short term use.

And the main Andorian who called us "Pink Skins" (not as good as "Spoon-heads" but pretty good!) was also the same actor who played the cloned guys who doled out the "white" to the Jem'Hadar warriors from the Gamma Quadrant.

Janus - it's not a big sexy topic, it's technical,
and it's hard to explain to people that this is going to be the greatest
change to US Labor Law since the Taft Hartley Act of 1947 authorized
Right to Work states. It is not going to be an immediate change, but
it is going to be a massive, system wide change that is going to change
forever how the Democrat Party is funded, and which I believe is going
to permanently seal the fate of the Democrat Party as a bi-coastal
boutique party with no political bases in the center of the country at
all.

Second, the effects of a decision for Janus will be more immediate than you might think. The taps will be immediately shut off as "union members" who never agreed to be such inundate their HR departments with opt-out forms. Also, several law suits are queued up in federal court demanding the return of monies forcibly taken in the past.

Pat Boone is indeed still alive! I don't think he's singing anymore, though.
He did that Paradise City cover, like, 20 years ago, and you can already hear that his voice wasn't what it had been in the past. But he made a smart decision with that album to let the stronger Doc Severinson-style instrumentals carry each song, and Pat Boone In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy was just a straight-up amazing album as a result.

All without the hope of recovering ever... ever. Now imagine this happened at 40 smack in the middle of life after you have started a family. All this through no fault of yourself. Imagine.

And everything that I've been hearing about fund-raising suggests that the Dems at the national level are doing pretty poorly.
So they *really* need that union money.

Don Q. - without entangling ourselves in too much legal complexity - is it "federal law" that actually governs the details like how illegal crossers charged with a crime are detained (families together/families apart), or is that just policy detail?
Isn't the only legal issue on that, at the moment, the Flores consent decree, limiting detention of minors to 20 days (and I don't think Flores even addresses family separation, just time for minors in detention)?
The new EO had more about the DOD than any other subject - which gives me faint hope that they're thinking of solving this problem by overwhelming it with logistics - that is be able to house families, together, while the adults are prosecuted for illegal crossing crimes.

Current law says that Trump CAN'T do that. That's the current interpretation of the Flores decision. It's not that Trump doesn't want to. He literally CANNOT because he's not allowed to detain the kids with the parents. His EO directing it be done is actually in violation of the Flores decision, which is why Trump filed a suit to get the Flores decision reviewed at the same time that he issued the EO.

Actually, redbanzai, I don't think so - that is, that simple fast deportation is an option.
Absurd beyond belief, obviously, but I don't think so.
I used to know things backwards/forwards, but there have been a lot of changes - all bad - and now all deportations require some "process". It doesn't have to be lengthy or involved, usually isn't, but it's still more than "pack your s**t, bus leaves in 10 minutes".
This is what Trump has been whining about - the need to hire more judges, to speed processing. Dunno if he was just planting the common sense idea (which most Americans would already assume to be the case) of no-nonsense immediate deportations of illegal crossers bereft of any special circumstances prominently in the public discussion. Not a bad idea, if that was the plan.
90% of those surveyed would respond with "what? huh?" when told that someone flagrantly and illegally crossing the border cannot, generally, just be summarily returned to Mexico. In this case, NOT an indicator of low-information among the populace - but the gap between common sense and current reality.

778 Janus - it's not a big sexy topic, it's technical,
and it's hard to explain to people that this is going to be the greatest
change to US Labor Law since the Taft Hartley Act of 1947 authorized
Right to Work states. It is not going to be an immediate change, but
it is going to be a massive, system wide change that is going to change
forever how the Democrat Party is funded, and which I believe is going
to permanently seal the fate of the Democrat Party as a bi-coastal
boutique party with no political bases in the center of the country at
all.

junior, thought Flores was just the 20-day limit on detention of minors (regardless of family unity/separation)?
The Catch-22 was that prosecuting illegal crossers can take more than 20 days, thus the kids have to be released even if the adults aren't. Or - as the previous administration did - release them all, with a notice to appear (ha).

Jean, that is yet *another* separate issue (asylum).
I am astounded that asylum can be sought at a port of entry, as opposed to a US mission abroad. The actual intent and practice of asylum meant, for most of its history, that as a practical matter it took place only overseas - not at our borders.
In terms of the current typhoon of slander and lies, the asylum-seeking frauds (all of them - I am further astonished that up to 20% of these cases are found to have merit, according to DHS) are *not* separated, as families. Only those facing prosecution for crossing illegally are separated.
I'll say it again. The current DHS public affairs operation is Dubya, 2.0 (from the worst days of Iraq or Katrina hysteria). They should be attacking, explaining, refuting, and educating, 24/7.

@816 junior, thought Flores was just the 20-day limit on detention of minors (regardless of family unity/separation)?
--------------------
You're probably right. But the important thing is that it basically means that they can't be detained with their parents. And some random Federal judge ordering Trump to put the kids with their parents doesn't change that.

799 781 Disability is a nightmare for someone who truly wants to work, Imagine having the will, no the need to be productive and to support yourself and your family but being unable due to physical limitations. All without the hope of recovering ever... ever. Now imagine this happened at 40 smack in the middle of life after you have started a family. All this through no fault of yourself. Imagine.

Aside from service related tinnitus, all of my impediments were earned in the civilian world.
So yes, I can imagine.
But I still have to work, and do.
And will have to do so, till the day I go for the extended dirt nap.
Regarding the disabilities?
I'll just simply adjust the ladder downward, from heavy lifting, to rough carpentry skills, to cabinetry, to artistic fitments, etc.
Same in the metalworking arena.
Skills I'll never lose. Marksmanship. Perishable Skill? Perhaps, but....
I went once five years without firing a single round.
Entered a match, and recorded the range record in the Mozambique Drill.
Some things get engraved in your very soul, it seems. So as far as Life Skills go, my self investment in every skill I could ever lay hands on, has paid off, more often then not.

33 Again - I'm pretty libertarian in my leanings but it is fact that I'm seeing more 25 year-olds seeking disability than at any time in my long career, and when we get down to it, marijuana often seems to be playing a major role. Things massively accelerated after the legalization. There was an extension from occasional illicit activity to daily can't-live-without-it habit that for some (not every one obviously) has been a problem.

If you were fleeing a Communist hell hole (and auto-correct just "helpfully" tried to change "hell hole" to "help hole"), then applying for asylum at your country of origin might be a bit difficult. But otherwise, yeah. Apply at the nearest embassy, consulate, or other US government building on foreign soil.

And kids these days will never know what it's like to sort out seed and stems inside a double album.
But all the studies have shown that people smoke to a specific point of intoxication, which nowadays means two hits and not two spliffs.

Or, we could get lucky, and he might vote as he's told, shut up, and be invisible, in which case it would be much better.

Actually, it was Obama who looted it, and never paid back what he took, which is what you are supposed to do. So HRC had to fund it and that is how she obtained control of it and got Bernie outta the way. I don't know if Obama has been giving them money from his speeches now or not. Either way, yes, it is a mess. Not much money, if any.

I beat this dead horse because it's local. The cost of the 2012 Dem Convention was paid by a loan arranged by Charlotte mayor Anthony Foxx, who was convention chairman. Ten million dollars. After the convention, they just walked away from the loan, defaulted.
Had the state AG not been a Dem, there would have been a fraud investigation, but, no.
Anthony Foxx was rewarded with the Sec. of Transportation position by Obama.

Asylum, helpfully and very narrowly defined as based on a "well-founded fear of persecution", has never been a border thing. I wonder what the grand total # of such cases were, processed at a port of entry, since the concept existed.
And in authoritarian states it has always been the case of 1) get famous and on the US's radar, or 2) get to a neighboring country's US embassy. Just the way it's been.
The Mexican border case is definitionally absurd. Anyone with an asylum case to be made who is from Honduras, or Guatemala, or ..... anywhere on earth, can apply at a US mission in Mexico.
This leaves only Mexican nationals with even a theoretical case. Apart from informants with a US tie, there should be ZERO credible cases - unless one basically distorts the asylum concept to cover everyone fearing violence in a f***ing failing state that is partly a narco-terror state.

Two exceptions that I can think of -
A lot of the South Vietnamese refugees were, iirc, basically approved at the airport or shipping port where they arrived (though plenty likely went to places like the Philippines first).
Also, the Mariel Boat Lift (which wasn't purely composed of criminals...).
Both were very unusual circumstances, though.

Mike H., I don't think the massive blatant corruption tale you frequently recount about the DNC convention $$$ is the least bit local or small in import.
It's actually one of the more brazen, outrageous bits of Third World corruption that now stains everything the Dems do, or touch.
And yes, I think there's a universe of difference between the "corruption" of being too craven for one's (legal) donors - "K Street corruption" - and the sort of outright fraud in that case.
Voters and voters alone put up with "K Street corruption" (or, don't) - the NC DNC convention case was brazenly lawless fraud, straight up.

838 Gnu, you're telling me that insufferable asshat Romney won his primary, and will now damage the country from the Senate?
Been trying to tell you this was a dead solid lock for months now. You're on the east coast, right? Too far away to realize what goes on out west.
Romney is NOT just running to be Senator - Romney is running to be the official representative of the Mormon Church Leadership in Washington. (I like to call the position Nunzio, just like the Vatican has) They gave him their official blessing months ago. That's why no one in Utah objects to somebody from Massachusetts moving there and becoming Senator - because the Mormon Church Leadership said it was ok, and anyone in Utah who has the official backing of the Mormon Leadership has a guaranteed 75% of the vote in Utah. That's how Utah works, always has, probably always will. The Mormon Church calls every shot on the important issues, especially on things like Who the next Senator is going to be.
Luckily for us, Mormons are mostly conservative, except for the love affair they have with Open Borders. And that explains Romney's position on the matter completely.
On the good side, Romney is NOT going to be like McCain - he is not going to start trouble on his own volition, or to grandstand. He's a true team player, and he won't do anything unless he's given the go-ahead by the men in the Salt Lake City Temple who picked him for this position. And they don't like to make waves unless they think they have to.

That's how Utah works, always has, probably always will. The Mormon Church calls every shot on the important issues, especially on things like Who the next Senator is going to be.
Luckily for us, Mormons are mostly conservative, except for the love affair they have with Open Borders. And that explains Romney's position on the matter completely.
On the good side, Romney is NOT going to be like McCain - he is not going to start trouble on his own volition, or to grandstand. He's a true team player, and he won't do anything unless he's given the go-ahead by the men in the Salt Lake City Temple who picked him for this position. And they don't like to make waves unless they think they have to.

junior, don't think Vietnamese were processed at a port of entry, per se - the arrangement was made, indeed, while they were still in the PI or elsewhere. Plus, pretty sure they had refugee status, very different. Same would apply to the V'mese and Cambodians in camps in Thailand.
And Cubans are unique, per statute - they get "one foot dry" asylum, automatically, on US soil.
Asylum was created for the politically persecuted to seek refuge at US missions abroad, and thereby get access to the US (with immigration status).
The refugee program (entirely different) was established to accommodate large numbers of people dislocated by conflict. And it's pretty formalized, under UNHCR management, with countries agreeing on a case/case basis to receive X number of refugees from particular areas.

Tom I'm as far west as you can get, and not be wet or on an island (well, OK, I *could* be about 8 miles further west, and still not wet). And the "lock" was initially the state convention, which didn't work out for Mitt, thus the primary, right? I didn't follow it and never had specific hope he wouldn't make it.
During this primary run he said he would speak out whenever Trump said/did things that were racist, dishonest, divisive, or destructive of democracy. Seriously, he said this. You know, the Steve Schmidt-level of vile passive aggressive slander and idiocy so beloved of the parasitic "elites" these days.
And if he is irresponsibly stupid about immigration, legal and illegal, then he is a net loss to the country, regardless of his votes on less important matters.

Romney and McCain are totally different personality types. McCain truly is a self aggrandizing bitter, vicious, mostly stupid little man, who's made a career out of his lack of any real ability.
Romney is the Company Man through and through, far more intelligent than McCain, and also far more "conservative" in the personal sense. All you have to figure out is who he is actually working for, and when you know that you know exactly what he will do in any situation - he is one of the most predictable men in politics today. And I've told you above who he's going to be working for now. Ask yourself what they want, and that is what he is very faithfully going to do.

Tom let's call you an optimist, and me a guarded pessimist, on Romney.
As I noted up front, he's very intelligent (unlike McCain) - and indeed is a very different sort of person. Up until the last prez cycle I respected him quite a bit (notwithstanding his craven performance as MA gov), and his personal integrity and standards are far above the norm in politics.
But his 2016 stunts and his despicable posturing on Trump's imaginary evils in the primary reduced my assessment by 90%.
Whatever - not my circus, not my monkey. He doesn't f**k up anything important, fine, he doesn't exist for me. I expect nothing positive beyond that.

His positions on immigration aren't so much "his", as they are the positions of the Mormon Church. Consider the other recent Mormon Senators - Hatch, Harry Reid, Jeff Flake. There's a reason they don't want harsh restrictions on immigrants, and those ideas flow directly from Church positions on the topic. I try to be respectful since there are some Mormon members who post here from time to time, so I will just say that I disagree with their teaching on this topic and leave it at that.
Romney is who he is and holds the positions that he does because he is now going to be the representative of a fairly large and cohesive group, to far more of an extent than most Senators or Congressmen ever are. For that reason he is going to need to be taken seriously, even when we don't agree with him. He's going to be one of those rare Senators who has his own loyal base, a distinct but separate group existing inside the Republican Coalition.
Every kingdom always has a few barons who have their own power base and who have to be treated with kid gloves. Looks like Romney is going to be one of ours.

Time to go to bed - but I just had to look at the moon as well, wonderful! Very clear night here. Venus was in the west, but it should have set about 3 hours ago or so. The planet you can still see to the southwest should be Jupiter. And it's clear enough that the one I can see rising to the southeast has a brilliant, very noticeable orange-red glow. I think that's gotta be Mars!
So I'm gonna wave goodnight to John Carter and take myself to bed. And g'night to the rest of you as well!

Tom, I get that anybody elected in UT has the LDS check-off. Of course.
And if that church or that state's residents want to damage the country for their own purposes, dressed up in whatever rationale, then they are a threat and need to be shamed, isolated, weakened, and defeated - not "treated with kid gloves". If the Mormon leadership is working - de facto - with Tom Steyer, La Raza, the drug cartels, and the worst racist authoritarians of the Dem party - why should they be treated any differently?
And - this is not directed at you, but more at the commonplace mythology you reference - WTF is "harsh treatment of immigrants"? Aside from Israel receiving those making aliyah, the US - besides literally inventing the idea of mass immigration in the modern world - has always had and still has the best treatment of IMMIGRANTS on the planet. Jeebus. What is this crap?
Bit of info: those illegally crossing the southern border, or lying at ports of entry about ridiculous "asylum" requests, are in many, many cases extorted, beaten, raped, and otherwise mistreated during their journey, all with the connivance of the Mexican and other "governments" - and then are rescued, treated, fed, protected, and cared for WHEN THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH U.S. OFFICERS.
Just to wrap up - Romney's vile slander of "racist" in his campaign comments is an ominous sign. Al Sharpton only has 4 certain murders on his moral rap-sheet (Freddie's Fashion Mart) - if they don't contribute to fixing, as opposed to greatly worsening, the situation, Romney and his co-religionists will have thousands of murders and excess deaths on theirs.

Second, the effects of a decision for Janus will be more immediate than you might think.

And then what?
The purpose of the invasion was to draw the American carriers into a trap. It's possible (even likely, I'll grant you) that the invasion still could have proceeded. But so far as I can tell, Midway's primary strategic value was that it was closer to Hawaii than Yokosuke was (you might say that it was midway between the two locations /rimshot). And without Carrier Divisions 1 and 2, Japan's offensive strength was pretty much shot until and unless they managed to sink the remaining US carriers. The IJN only had two fleet carriers left at that point - Shokaku and Zuikaku. So long as the US had its carriers, the IJN wasn't going to launch a successful invasion of Hawaii without more carrier strength than it had on hand at that time.

Late to the party, but Midway itself had no real value to the Japanese, other than its ability to draw the remnants of our pacific fleet out for the show. With the 4 carriers of Nagumo's force on the bottom of the ocean, any other move than withdrawal would be counterproductive. A Hawaiian invasion was always a conceptual pipedream, rightfully left on the planning table and never realistically considered. The IJN didn't have the logistic capabilities or the manpower to be able to see that successfully undertaken with any degree of confidence. Hell, they barely got the army to give them 3/4 of what they needed for the operations they already conducted. Everything they did up to that point was, as far as boots on the ground were concerned, done by the skin of their logistic teeth.

Luckily, I saved a previous comment I made about it:
Back in the 2012 primaries, Newt Gingrich gave a speech about space policy. He is a longtime space enthusiast and is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. We can quibble with his specific policies, but not about his passion for the topic.
A couple of days later, Romney gave a speech on space policy. He basically said that he would put "top men" to work on it, and concluded with a tearjerking story about a Massachusetts Boy Scout troop sending an American flag to fly on the ill-fated Challenger mission. Which has precisely fuck-all to do with present-day space policy.
It was obvious that he had zero knowledge, interest, or passion about the subject. He was just pandering to Florida voters.
But he didn't stop there. At the very next debate just a few days later, he used Newt's moonbase proposal for a cheap laugh line. I had flames shooting out of my ears at that point.

Lonebadger, all true.
The Midway thing started waaaay back when Anna Puma threw out the interesting counter-historical of "what if Yamamoto/Nagumo had continued on with the seizure of Midway, despite the catastrophic losses of June 4" (my phrasing).
A few of us basically agreed with you, that there would be no point. I stressed that it would have been an unsustainable thing, given (as you note) exiguous Jap logistics, and the relative ease with which the US could have isolated and pounded any force on Midway.
So anyway, an interesting "what if" from one of the HQ's premier military history commenters.
And a reminder to me to refresh on Midway, as I got a lot of the details wrong about which US squadrons did what.

And you guys come out with counterfactuals, unit designations, ship ID numbers, and all sorts of shit I couldn't keep up with.

Thanks, rickl.
I vaguely recall all that, now that you recount it.
I admire your knowledge and passion for space, and it's actually sort of cool that space policy would be an area where a public figure could let you down.
Which, to pull a whip-lash turn, reminds me of perhaps the key "lesson" (at this point) of the Trump phenomenon - don't pander, say what you think, and what you mean, and then act on it. This "process" virtue alone - let's call it political integrity - is incredibly powerful in a time when it is so RARE.
It's fundamental. Stupid policy ideas will be pushed - always. Some will even be popular, to some extent, or occasionally, to a disastrously wide extent.
But in a representative govt. system, if there is no political integrity, the voters are disenfranchised, the system becomes a farce, nobody knows what they're voting for.
And with that, I'll leave Bander to monitor the derailed train, and plow through another few pages of VDH's WWII book.

Well one more thing. Today, as I mentioned earlier, a Russian couple came in where I volunteer, they're from a Urals town that was one of the places to which Soviet industry was evacuated, in a hurry, in 1941/42.
The guy was a history geek, and so we geeked out a bit (with my rusty Russian frustrating me to exasperation) on WWII history. I mentioned how much I wish I'd made it to a Victory Day parade in Moscow a few years ago, when many veterans were still alive and active. He said they still had small ceremonies in his area, but sadly it was mostly photos of deceased vets (the "immortal battalion" as they are now called), not many actual ones, there.
We both lamented the ignorance of WWII history in our respective societies, but it was clear (and it's logical) that it's quite a bit better in Russia than here. He was thrilled to visit and hear about things connected to US WWII history in the Pacific.

Again, I seem to recall that Trump endorsed Romney. So, maybe Trump knows something, or is already taking Romney's potential future comments into account and is still confident that he'll come out ahead. Or maybe he just wants another businessman in the Senate. For non-border items, that could be useful.

To my glee, when first reading the comments, I noticed a real good Midway conversation brewing, and without looking too hard, I wanted to throw my 2 cents out there. The Pacific War has been an area of particular interest to me since the age of 7, and the one thing that always fascinated me was how much the Japanese DID ACCOMPLISH. Other than hard combat assets, they were always operating under the pressure of severe supply and time constraints, and usually with very little in the way of actual usable reserves. The fact that they were able to put to sea what amounted to the bulk of their surface fleet at Midway still astounds me, considering their steel and fuel shortages.
Your second comment really interests me. To get an opportunity to talk to a veteran of the Red Army from WW2 would really be something special. The celebrations and remembrances they hold for those veterans, as I understand it, are considered very meaningful and personal. Even considering the brutality of their own government, the burden carried and the horrors experienced by the citizens and soldiers of the Soviet Union make WW2 something they have a much different perspective about than anyone else. I believe that how Russia relates today with the world is still more affected by the war years than any other single factor. Our leaders should well keep that in mind when dealing with today's Russia. It makes what they do make more sense.

I'm not worried about Trump endorsing Romney. I'm sure he has his reasons. It could be a case of "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" or "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". He probably figures that a Romney victory is a foregone conclusion and an endorsement is a chip he might be able to play at some time in the future.
I trust Trump's instincts. He certainly can deal with people much better than I can.

953 Midway.
Who knew you could drop a torpedo from a B-26?
Who knew that it was futile to use defective American torpedos?
Bet both the engines were racing at war emergency and the torpedo dropped disintegrated on impact with the water.

American torps were really bad. The British and Japanese had torps that were excellent, particularly the Japanese. But, like you said, you fight with what you got until you get something better. The fact that both Japan and Britain were on a war footing and had been in conflicts for several years by that point is probably the bulk of the reason for the disparity, from my perspective.

The various squadrons losing contact eith wach other and attacking piecemeal was a gigantic clusterfuck that could have ended disastrously.
Suppose the dive bombers had arrived first. They would have scored some hits, but some of them would have been shot down by the Japanese fighters.
Then the torpedo bombers arrive with their defective torpedoes, and the fighters at high altitude diving on them.

Problems with the carrier designs hindered the Japanese as well. Carriers were something new, and ideas that looked good on paper were catastrophic in combat. For instance, as I mentioned in the previous ONT, Kaga had a unique fuel storage system. And vibrations from the American bombs caused cracks to develop in that system. Fuel vapor was able to escape from those cracks, until *BOOM!*
It all looked good on paper. And no one had anyway of knowing that it would happen, right up until it did. It's kind of a shame, really. The Japanese taught everyone a lot of lessons in carrier design, but weren't able to take advantage of those lessons due to the post-war disarmament.

We taught the Japanese alot about damage control and ship design that day, that's for sure. I think a lot of the reason for their failures in those regards was a real overemphasis on OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES. An even bigger mistake, as mentioned previously, was an almost disdainful approach to logistics in favor of that same focus on offensive power.

American Torpedoes were bad because the Navy brass that were in charge of their development and testing refused to admit they might be wrong about their pride and joy.
AIUI, when rumors started that subs on patrol were overhauling and modifying torpedoes on their way to their patrol stations, steps were taken.
not to retrofit the defective shit being issued, but to catch those dastardly scumbags screwing with perfection.

And of course, it turned out to have a dash of the same scientism that's infected the modern Left wrapped up in it. The torpedoes apparently performed well in lab conditions, so the "experts" all agreed that it had to be the sailors misusing the torpedoes, not a problem with the weapons.

I live in this district. The analogy is somewhat true. Crowley, the incumbent and the 4th top-ranking House Democrat, took a page from Hillary's failed campaign and did not run ads or even bother to campaign, he was that cocky. Also, my neighborhood in the district (which comprises parts of the South Bronx and northern Queens, two completely different worlds) has radically shifted when it comes to demographics. What was a German/Irish/Jewish neighborhood when I moved here 30 years ago is now a Central/South American United Nations. That a young radical lefty Hispanic woman, running on guaranteed jobs, universal health care and the end of ICE, beat an older white guy Party hack is no surprise. Maybe to the media talking airheads it's a surprise, hence the Brat/Cantor comparison, but not to someone actually living in the district.
What makes the comparison true is Brat is MAGA before MAGA, a TEA Party takeover of the Republican Party, so to speak. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' win exemplifies the radical left taking over the Democrat Party.

I think Mormon leadership has been bought out or infiltrated to the point where they support open borders. They then instruct the lay people on this point, who then vote for a shitstain like Romney.

About 2 to 3 inches of rain last night. The people at the low end of the area are having sewer troubles again.
The good news is it's about 95 percent humidity.

I know not many here are on FB, but I see that comments/replies on say NBC News has this: "Most Relevant is selected, so some replies may have been filtered out." So the flow of replies do not make sense ....interesting...do not recall seeing that before.

Oh wow! Better prep the credit card...you're gonna spend some coin on ammo. ON another note, maybe she can put a cloth with a little Hoppes No. 9 on it in her purse when she goes to her next book club meeting.

Ali the reporter reminded me of Zoe Barnes in House if Cards.
Weird how so many news articles remind me of characters or plots in that tv show.

I hope the rain lets up long enough to mow, I somewhat detest telling folks to get off an unkempt lawn. Morning horde.

We got it mowed on Saturday. I would mow today, but it's going to be too wet. Tomorrow, I'll be able to mow and bale.

Legalized marijuana in the USA = less revenue for drug cartels.
Whether that would lead to a spike in other crimes like kidnapping for ransom or kidnapping for sex slavery, who can say. Pretty awful result if so.
But we cannot be extorted by a hypothetical problem. We should pass it to find out what is in it.

Im out of the gentleman farmer game, but to me, not much looks better than a well cut, raked and baled pasture. One of the best things about penciltucky.

Mine is just a suburban lawn, but with all of the rain we have had, you almost need to mow every 4 days to keep up with it. If I could run a baler behind my Toro, I would.
I agree about a fresh cut field. I've always loved the smell too, reminds me of helping my uncle on his farm

They want a carve out for non-economic, sponsored resident visas. Basically, they convert them and bring them in.
If they would acknowledge that they are bringing them in to support the 10% Mormon tithe farm and have a high probability of being economically productive - we could use the current framework. But, no, they don't want to admit their gnostic pyramid scheme needs new blood at the bottom.

Been living on 26 acres for nearly 20 years, mostly pasture. Best piece of lawn care equipment I ever bought was the cheapest lawn sweeper at tractor supply. Thought they were just dumb for years. Works very well on leafs and dead grass. Moar easier than a rake for sure.

Ya, fine, the light is nice.
But what kind of lighthouse is that? There are little slits for the beacons and they only point one way?
This is not a traditional lighthouse. The image says Cape Lighthouse, but I assure you it's not from Cape Cod, whence all the best lighthouses spring.
Here, it's not technically Cape Cod, but the Scituate Lighthouse is the epitome of the species:

Getting to this late but oh well.
This is the lighthouse thats about 50' from where I'm typing this. It was part of the Two lights tower system build in the 1840's to help ships get into Casco bay without running directly into Cape Elizabeth. The other lighthouse is "Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse". Note that neither of these is the Portland Headlight, which is also in Cape Elizabeth and which was pictured in this thread last week.
This particular lighthouse had its Fresnel lens removed in WW2 and was converted into a Uboat lookout tower. Combined with another fire control tower about a quarter mile down the coast, these towers would relay bearings to sighted Uboats off the coast who were hunting freedom ships coming out of Portland. In Two Lights state park you can climb up on top of the bunker's ammo magazine. The guns were never installed on the coast but the towers are still there.
This lighthouse was owned by Bette Davis at one point. Gary Merrill would get drunk and go to the top and holler down at people around the neighborhood that he was having a party and everyone should come up to the top of the lighthouse with him.
Today the lighthouse is owned by my neighbors. A family who is awesome and amazing and who I am blessed to know.

Got about three acres to mow, but it just started raining. An old Skag has been the best purchase my father ever made. So many trees and rocks and other 'features' to go around. Zero-turn radius for the win.

Like the PR chick who beat Crowley. She wants to abolish ICE, have Medicare and free college for all, and everybody should also get a guaranteed job from the federal government!
And how is she going to pay for all this "free" shit in her new open borders society? Eh, who cares about the details? Everybody should have whatever they want, and U.S. taxpayers should pay for it!
It would be satisfying to watch all the dumb-ass pandering leftists like Crowley getting booted out of office by the third-world Free Shit Army foot soldiers they've been importing for the last few decades, if not for the fact that they're destroying the country for the rest of us too.

The word you are looking for is "locusts". They have come here like locusts to feed on the largess of America. It was cute and heartwarming when it was just thousands, just like those cute Somalis. (facepalm).
But now it's millions, and it's not going to stop. They want to bring in Uncle Fidel and Auntie Ramirez and all the rest. And no, they are not natural Republicans or Conservatives.

Midway. A testament to set bravery of the Navy.
41
Obsolete TBD torpedo bombers started the battle. 34 were shot down, six ditched into the sea and three survived. Cdr Walden stood up, out of the cockpit to see over the smoke of his burning plane trying to get a hit.
Wade McClusky commanded Scouting 6 and Bombing 6 and over the target ordered Scouting 6 to attack the Kaga and Bombing 6 to attack the Akagi. Not everyone got the word. 27 planes from both squadrons attacked the kaga. Lt. Best commander of Bombing 6 frantically tried to stop his squadron but was only able to reach his wingman. So with three planes he lead the attack on the Akagi. Best scored a direct hit and sank the Akagi.
Where do we find such Men?
