EMT 3/18/23

Happy day after St. Pat's.

We brined a brisket for 10 days, then smoked it yesterday.

And 5 lbs of pork chops.

And 10 lbs of polish sausages.

Gainzzz?

My scale is judging me.

25 "This president believes the biggest threat to Social Security are those who want to cut it," she said. "His budget says no."

"There's nobody in this committee that wants to cut it," Romney corrected. "I know of no Republican or Democrat in the House or the Senate who is proposing cutting Social Security benefits, and it's dishonest to keep saying it. It's offensive and dishonest and not realistic."

The question then becomes, according to Romney, is why Biden is not taking steps to "protect" Social Security from its insolvency issues.

30 Morning, all! That's got to be the longest post I've ever seen Krakatoa put up.

Carefully subverting expectations, I did not wear any green yesterday. My bright red button-down shirt looked like Christmas on my Chinese Spy Video staff meeting. But I did smoke a Peterson pipe, an Irish make, yesterday afternoon. The tobacco was Sir Walter Raleigh, though, and Raleigh the man was no fan of the Irish or they of him. Oh, well.

Chilly here this am. And my carpet is shampooed, and Stirling the Great Black Kitten is back home. My plan is to work out, get cleaned up, and head out to breakfast during the last burst of cool morning air before Christmas!

Yeah, they came for the carpet. There is still the hole in the bedroom ceiling, but if it doesn't leak I don't much care. Eventually, though, there will be a new leak somewhere in this dump.

If it weren't for the uncertainties of F. Joe's economy, I'd have retired already and started planning to move Elsewhere.

56 Easter dress shopping with my MiL, niece, and Pookette yesterday afternoon. Pooky proved why I do *not* let him stay home alone for more than two hours, especially when he's gotten permission to drink. He did try to bribe me with pork loin, which was delicious, but I'm not doing that again. (Especially after 45+ min of comparison jewelry shopping in the mall after I thought we were done. Man, my MiL does not understand why I was trying to hurry things along.)

Another one said ,"Thanks for driving me to my hoos" ( spelled that way) "Have a grate (sic) day. In coloring the buses the kids were very creative and some of them put pictures of spouse and kids in the windows of the bus. I bet Salty gets these kinds of things too. It's cute!

That’s exactly what the people who were behind this bill wanted to do in the first place, but Pete’s husband thinks that parents and adherents of traditional morality are protecting their families from the wrong people.

The other Mr. Buttigieg continued: “But the way in which they say they’re showing up for our families, this conversation about giving parents more choice, protecting children, what they’ve really done, and they’ve done a good job, it’s been a very well-coordinated, well-funded effort to attack the LGBTQ community.”

92 When her daughter refused to speak about her sexuality, two students affiliated with the club began to bully her and call her homophobic.

--

What the ever lovin'...the kid was attacked because she didn't want to speak about her sexuality?! Are we now at the point of forcing children to confess their sex secrets and identity to the class? I can only hope the boiling point is nigh, and that parents all across the US start raising unholy hell.

In my entire k-12 education from the very late 60s to the very early 80s, I never spoke one fragment of a word about sexuality in class or with my friends. Even "sex ed" was about as generic and sterile as it gets.

There are a whole lot of people within the school system that need to be strangled.

93 More and more lately, whenever I see Joey Plugs, he's looking like he's been scalded and plucked like a chicken or turkey.

The skin on his temples and forehead have that yellow wrinkly texture you see when you're preparing a flightless bird for dinner. It's alarming because I want to baste him in his own juices, brown and crisp that loose skin, and stick a temperature probe in him to see if he is done.

100 G'morning all from sunny Bethesda.

Monday will be the last radiation treatment, followed by Tue-Wed in Baltimore, and Thursday we should finally be home.

Bitterswet time yesterday as one of the families here at the Fisher House headed home, another saw a huge improvement in their son who was on life support just several days ago, but is now off of it, and upgraded from critical condition.

Last night was a large Irish/Italian dinner that we all cobbled together, realizing that within the next few days we will all be parting ways to resume our lives.

We have made some lifelong friends here, and our time at Fisher House has truly been a blessing in our lives in so many ways.

That's 'cause perhaps a female thing. But we males of that same era knew all about 'fags' as we called them then. It was not considered a good thing to be labeled as such. Believe me we would have pushed back against any school effort to normalize them or even applaud their being 'out'.

In addition to the top-7 platforms, VP soon gained "visibility" to “alternative platforms such as Gab, Parler, Telegram, and Gettr” – near-total surveillance of the social media landscape.

191 Got robbed. Again. @jasonkCNN & I were at city hall in San Francisco to do an interview for @CNN. We had security to watch our rental car + crew car. Thieves did this in under 4 seconds. Security stopped the jerks from stealing other bags. But seriously -- this is ridiculous

Same problem in ZA. Learned instantly. Was picked up in front of a hotel in Capetown to get some coffee before heading to the office, was instantly scolded about leaving my computer bag in view on the backseat even though we were going to be fewer than a couple dozen steps from the car.

Criminals can do anything they want, but the intended victims can't retaliate or defend themselves. One must always be proactive in your security (eg. "Don't be there")

||Sam Bankman-Fried’s defunct crypto exchange FTX owes Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville resort nearly $600,000 — more than 10 times what was previously thought — and meanwhile racked up a $400,000 DoorDash tab ahead of its bankruptcy, court papers revealed this week.

In November, FTX’s investment affiliate Alameda Research was reportedly sought after by Margaritaville resort in the Bahamas over a $55,319 bar tab.||

Here’s what you need to know about the possible Trump indictment:

The goal isn’t the political fallout. They know he isn’t going to exit the race, nor is he constitutionally required to. The goal to keep him from being able to raise enough money for a serious campaign. It’s the same thing they did with Mueller and the Russia Hoax—drained the war chest. But he had the advantage then of being the incumbent, so the RNC was (mostly) helpful. The 2020 campaign still spent over $1B.

The question is whether donors will stand by him or look to an alternative. (The RNC doesn’t have to support any one candidate because it’s an open primary.)

All of this should matter because whether or not you support a Trump 2024, tactics like this shouldn’t influence your ability to choose a candidate for the GOP nomination. He should win or lose fair and square.

This is how radical the insane Leftists are in their TDS. Because of their perpetual witch hunts to GET TRUMP, no one is even pretending this is a remotely justified indictment; everyone knows it’s politically motivated.

Posted by: andycanuck (Vwz3I) at March 18, 2023 08:51 AM (Vwz3I)

198 [con't.] Prior to 2016, if a candidate had a pending or actual indictment, it would be a huge blow to their credibility and almost certainly the end of their candidacy, because we assumed it was legitimate. Now, because of the Democrats, no reasonable American trusts the legitimacy of federal law enforcement. Nor should they.

But the Democrats don’t care about protecting our institutions or systems. They just want to GET TRUMP.

I hope they utterly, miserably fail. If Democrats are supposedly so concerned about “protecting democracy,” then just LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

210 Skip - we've had some really bright ISS passes here in southern Oregon lately. There's another one coming up this evening around 8:00 PM local time. I use the ISS Detector app. I track the ISS, the Tiangong station, and Starlink. I've yet to see a Starlink "train" pass over; there are two street lights close to my house which tend to wash out smaller objects.

My job is so physically easy that going the extra mile is like a normal workday. I get left alone as my job is very mentally challenging but after a few years it is habit now so I do all kinds of extra shit not in my description. Currently learning robot coding so as to be able to go all John Connor when our robot overlords try and take over.

Just got a $2/hr raise for my efforts.
Just don't let your extra efforts go unnoticed or worse yet claimed by another employee.

"So 6 months ago this dolt you have working here for 5 years suddenly started coming up with really good ideas and you think it is him? Watch this. I quit. Now see how many new ideas he comes up with."

2 weeks later... "Hello,... Maybe. I want $3.00 more per hour and back pay... Okay. see you Monday."

I have been there several times.

223 The term “woke” was originally used in black communities in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s.

It referred to being awake to bigotry and prejudice, and the coming revolution and racial reckoning.
