The wife bought a new batch of Columbian, which isn't my thang, but there remains the old batch, because she drinks way too slowly.

Good Saturday morning, horde.
Prayers for all, so many spoken requests this morning. And for all unspoken, which I know are a multitude. Busy day ahead; I appreciate this time of prayer and reflection before I get into it.

7/19 Update - Lauren has Bell's Palsy. She still needs prayers. … sends her appreciation for those who have already prayed, or even just sent vibes if that's your thing.
Good vibes sent. I learned first hand about Bell's Palsy as I had it happen to me back on January 11th of this year. Freaked me out at the time and thankfully I came on here asking for advice and people told me to get my ass to the ER. Almost 7 months later and I have about 80% function back of my right eye and mouth. No more drooping and I can closed mouth smile. Open mouth smile not there yet as right side lower lip still will not work properly. And right eye, eyelid and eyebrow still not functioning 100% but it's slowly getting better. So here's a speedy, full recovery for Lauren. On a personal note, my hospital stay also diagnosed me Type 2 diabetic and high blood pressure. Over past 7 months, my blood glucose is now completely under control, blood pressure down to safe levels and have dropped from 350lbs to 295lbs with 2000 calorie diet. Goal is to continue the ~10lb/month pace and be back to 200lbs by this time next year. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at July 30, 2022 08:52 AM (Do5/p) 31

Ya, they would shorten some songs to play them on AM radio. I remember I had a few 8-tracs that would have 1 long song on 2 tracs. The song would play for a bit, then the volume would go down and then change trac, and then the volume would come back up and finish the song. That was bogus, man.

Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 30, 2022 08:51 AM (F5r4x) Wait a minute, I thought Ukraine was a bastion of liberty and goodness. And if anyone doesn't realize it yet, yeah, the end result of all our "money" being sent over there is more death. On both sides. And it isn't going to change the outcome, it's just going to prolong the inevitable. By the way, we still don't have enough baby formula in this country to feed all the babies.

Continued from tech thread.
The revelations that the Feds are behind all the insurrections, is also important because it means that the next time will be for real. I'm sure a lot of folks are looking at the J6 martyrs and thinking that if you're going to jail anyway, you may as well have some fun in the process. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at July 30, 2022 08:39 AM (llXky) I'm coming around to the idea that, far from being surprised and outraged by any such fedsurrection/coup shenanigans, Congress/uniparty is integral to the process. They are hand in glove. Schumer telegraphed it. They act all outraged for the cameras. They write sternly worded letters. They conduct investigations, promising to get to the bottom of it all, when all the investigations and hearings are are propaganda circuses and cover ups. If you are a made man, you can lie to Congress with impunity. See Brennan and Comey. If you threaten to upend the table, no tool is spared in your destruction.

Tell me I am wrong that the DoJ/FBI/Any Federal Agency is just an enforcement arm of Congress in their desire to obtain, retain, and maintain power over you. That the reason nothing is ever done - feigned outrage and sternly worded letters notwithstanding - is because it is by design. Sure, they need you to believe in the facade of representative government. But that is really all it is, at this point. And perhaps that has been that way longer than I have realized it.

Posted by: grammie winger at July 30, 2022 08:56 AM Thanks, grammie winger. Sorry that you went through it as well. It has not been fun, as you know from experience with it. From biting my lip constantly while trying to eat, to my eye watering all the time, to superficial things like not wanting to smile in public, because my mouth does not work properly. Plus my right eye seems more sensitive to sunlight than my eyes already had been. Vision has gotten worse in right eye as well, which had been my good eye. It's about 2 weeks shy of 7 months for me. All the research I did in the beginning said that 75% of people get full function back within a year. Most people see good improvement within 4-6 months. That is where I am now.

The Huber timepiece, which sold to an anonymous bidder, shows a swastika and has the initials AH engraved on it.

Sadly, you're wrong insofar that things are much worse than that - the DOJ/FBI are now just the Secret Police of the Democrat Party, a true Political Gestapo in every since of the word.

Congrats on the weight loss as well. I've noticed that I've got a 'red line' for my weight - once I cross it, my sleep quality declines, less energy, etc. I'd gotten a little lax and now I'm pushing myself to lose 10 pounds simply out of a desire for more physical comfort.
I had the same issues with not sleeping well a few years back. I am not sure if it was weight related, but I was waking up regularly every 2 hours needing to use the bathroom. This went on for months. I thought I had kidney or gall bladder issues or something. I kept fiddling with my pillows to try to get into a comfortable position to sleep and eventually I found one. But likely there was a weight aspect to it, as my weight gain was probably causing internal problems with pressure on my bladder or something. I stupidly used to think that I was a "healthy" fat person. I was still playing softball and walleyball well even when at 275lbs. But I ballooned up to 325 and then eventually 350 over the past 5-6 years or so. Losing weight has improved lots of aspects of my life quality. Here's to you getting to your weight loss goal as well!

Yeah, my right eye went to pot too. Vision got all messed up and the watering is the worst. But I look on the bright side, at least it wasn't a stroke (which is what I originally thought). I just look goofy. I hope you have a 110 percent recovery!
Posted by: grammie winger at July 30, 2022 09:06 AM Yep, that is what I was worried about as well. And why people here that night were telling me to get my butt to the ER to confirm that it is only Bell's Palsy and not a stroke. Given my high blood glucose and seriously high blood pressure (200/something) at the time, everyone in the ER was worried it could be a stroke. But I was having no other signs of it other than the Bell's Palsy. All tests the next day showed I was otherwise healthy. The Bell's Palsy ended up being a weird blessing in disguise. Because I don't get on this long-term meal plan to lose weight like this without that wake-up call. Another wake-up call was seeing an actual stroke patient wheeled into the ER in the bed next to me that night. Heartbreaking to hear and see what he went through. Made me realize I had nothing to complain about and better get my health back on track. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at July 30, 2022 09:21 AM (Do5/p) 117

Posted by: mustbequantum at July 30, 2022 09:17 AM (MIKMs) The good news is though, only about 3-4 of the 28 inmates were likely to have been framed by corrupt cops, and railroaded by unethical prosecutors.

And now all but 1 or 2 (maybe) of those 10 will be gone. So that's 50 fake "Republicans" eliminated from the House over 6 years. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 30, 2022 09:29 AM (q3gwH) 146

Funny story, to me, anyway, about later in life marriage: A few years ago, Valentines day, I took my wife to Red Lobster, as it was where I took her on our first date. (don't judge me!) We're sitting there, very obviously of the 29 year old crowd, and, this gal looked at my wife and I, and asked, "Oh, and how long have you two been married?" The look on her face when I looked at her and said, "6 years" was priceless, as it was obvious she thought we had a few more years under our belt.

That's not inconsistent with my theory, though. The Russians may be building up for an offensive and simply wearing down the Ukrainians in anticipation of it. That's what I would do. Also, time the offensive for when the weather is starting to turn so Europe's in a panic about heating gas and so that the gains will be preserved by the fall rains.

A good place to follow the developments of the Ukraine war is Military Summary Channel on youtube. He does as good a job as can be expected, using both Western and Russian sourced maps and collaborating sources as much as possible. In a way it's dull to follow, because day-to-day the events aren't that exciting. Progress for the Russians is constant but generally slow, they come up to a Ukrainian defensive line, shell the sh*t out of it for a few days then send in infantry once it's softened up enough. Then it's on to the next Ukrainian defensive line.
I like the channel because I feel like I get a much better handle on what's going on, since Western media is so unreliable. Posted by: Rian at July 30, 2022 09:45 AM (SUzf/) 194

It's largely a siege war, as near as I can tell. Russia is staying on the outskirts of large areas rather than attack with meat-grinding tactics. Instead they shell and shell and shell and maintain fire-control over roadways and rail lines until Ukraine withdraws from areas or surrenders. In this way, Russia limits casualties and limits the destruction of infrastructure.
Probably the most disconcerting thing about the Ukraine conflict isn't actually the war. What concerns me is the financial war. The proposed BRICS reserve currency is gonna have permanent effects on us going forward, IMO. This is easily overcome by repatriating manufacturing, but there are too many multi-national corporations in the pockets of our politicians to convince me they will abandon their cheap Chinese slave labor addiction easily.

The subversion of America is no longer a subtle affair, a quiet but steady march through the institutions. It's now a full-on trashing, with both hands, wild eyes and barbaric howls. And not a single politician is close to facing the truth.
Maybe instead of sending me five fundraising/merch emails a day, Trump should start laying out his plan for 2024. Get specific: revamp DOJ and FBI, decentralize DC across the country, fire X number of people, kill CRT, etc. Force a conversation, engage, debate, put the enemy on the defense.

I seem to recall a story that surfaced some number of years ago about a newly elected representative who was shocked to find out his primary responsibility was fundraising for the party. Not legislation. He'd be told how to vote when the time came. And paid accordingly. He served out his term and did not run again.

This is easily overcome by repatriating manufacturing, but there are too many multi-national corporations in the pockets of our politicians to convince me they will abandon their cheap Chinese slave labor addiction easily.
Posted by: Bitter Clinger I hear through analyst channels that a lot of American companies are repatriating their manufacturing. Or at least moving it out of China. The cheap Chinese labor was cheap until it wasn't. Whether it lasts remains to be seen, but the flow has reversed for now. Posted by: quantum mechanic at July 30, 2022 10:01 AM (vcv8B) 217

Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 30, 2022 09:47 AM (F5r4x) --- I'm all for it. The US dollar was at its most stable, strongest when it had to compete with rival currencies for value. Once it became the default currency, we could start debasing it without consequences. I'd love to see the return of "bond vigilantes" turning the screws to the Fed.

I seem to recall a story that surfaced some number of years ago about a newly elected representative who was shocked to find out his primary responsibility was fundraising for the party.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at July 30, 2022 10:00 AM (BFigT) The only part of that story that surprises me is that someone made it all the way into that office without knowing that beforehand. Congress abdicated all of its authority to the bureaucracy and judiciary years (decades) ago. That's why none of them actually read the bills they pass; that's why it doesn't matter if they pass unconstitutional stuff. Who care? The Courts will clean it up if there's a problem, the bureaucrats will continue to do what they do no matter what. Pelosi's only real power is that she's the focus for the money flow from the Silicon Valley oligarchs, and she doles it out to those who vote the way she tells them to. And she in turn only does what the Oligarchs tell her to do. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 30, 2022 10:07 AM (q3gwH) 233

The rep being told to raise money and vote with leadership is credible, particularly on the state level.

Over past 7 months, my blood glucose is now completely under control, blood pressure down to safe levels and have dropped from 350lbs to 295lbs with 2000 calorie diet. Goal is to continue the ~10lb/month pace and be back to 200lbs by this time next year.

Posted by: four seasons at July 30, 2022 10:18 AM (PisyI) --- When the lease came up for an abortion mill in Lansing, one of the parishes approached the property owner and asked to buy it outright. The price was right, and so the parish bought the property and then declined to renew the lease, and the abortionists were evicted. The building was then ritually purified with an exorcism and converted into a crisis pregnancy support clinic. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

One further note on Whitmer in Michigan. She line-item vetoed $20 million for aid to crisis pregnancy centers, you know the things Liz Warren hates.
Whitmer and her staff thought this was a sick burn, but in fact it is monumentally tone-deaf and she's going to get endless blowback on it. I don't care how pro-choice you are, cutting aid to pregnant poor women is the epitome of being hard-hearted. When Dems had actual political instincts, they accused Republicans of doing this. If Dixon wins the nom, she's going to constantly talk about the cruelty of Whitmer telling poor women to go kill their babies. That's going to crush the liberal soccer mom vote.

Biden doing great getting legislation passed. Republicans aren't going to win the number of house seats predicted and 55% chance of losing the Senate!!! I'm thinking what the hell.

I doubt that's the plan. From what I understand, it's extremely difficult to transport and reinstall that equipment in the best of circumstances, much less in a shooting war.

Ya, they would shorten some songs to play them on AM radio. I remember I had a few 8-tracs that would have 1 long song on 2 tracs. The song would play for a bit, then the volume would go down and then change trac, and then the volume would come back up and finish the song. That was bogus, man.
Posted by: Tinfoilbaby at July 30, 2022 08:54 AM (sRUs0) That was done to enable mass duping of the tapes.

From that article about LPD ships.
What Is A Well Deck Vessel? Having a ‘Well Deck’ refers to a sturdy bulwark that protects and protects the area occupied by the sides of the vessel, or an exposed recess extending at least one third (15mm) further than where the vessel stood before. Ships with well decks are required to have explicit drainage requirements. ---- Did Kamala write this? Also why does the article intermingle Document Printing protocols with Navy ships?
