Hot off the presses: I just received the transcript from Nov 1 classified docs hearing before Judge Cannon.

Here's the passage where Trump's lawyer discusses discovery of "extensive" collaboration btw Biden White House, DOJ, NARA, and intel agencies prior to indictment

Basically the special counsel coordinated with intel to choose which documents to charge trump on. Also, the Dept of Energy revoked Trumps security clearance with that dept AFTER the indictment, while claiming trump held onto documents from that agency without clearance.

You’ve just described Denver. Possibly the entire state of Colorado. Beautiful, but major suckage to drive across, particularly in winter. I always tried to time it by going through in the middle of the night.

For years, decades even, Denver had this weird permanent construction zone, there was a “zig zag” deal with the I-80 interstate.

Wasn't it him holding up a piece of paper, claiming it referred to the Pentagon's plan for invading Iran?

If so, his "crime" was revealing the military industrial complex was planning to invade Iran. Which is kinda like when a therapist has a client who says he's going go kill some people.

Your conversation is no longer "classified" when these insane murderers are planning to murder more people.

I'm sure that's true. Point being though, the guy who was President, the one who makes the call as to whether the military goes to war or doesn't, was basically saying "these evil pricks were planning to go to war without my say-so."

So all along, this question about what was or wasn't classified, about what Trump had a right to have or didn't, is damn near entirely beside the point.

It's that we have a military that starts wars, or tries to, because it can.

US 287 between Fort Collins & Laramie is a gorgeous drive... if the road is clear... Every so often a car or van full of UW kids gets killed on 287.

ATL is the worst place I've ever driven by far, and I have driven a few times in southern Cal. Oddly enough, sometimes it's better to go through town on 20 or 85/75 than going around on 285.

The more interesting thing for me is that this week Comer said that in the limited emails they have received from NARA, just a reminder that Joe had nearly 3 times as many secret emails as Hillary, he claims at least one email that was also found on Hunter's laptop appears to contain classified information about Ukraine that was in the documents Joe stole.

141 About 50 miles from where I I’ve there was a 2 lane bridge built over the freeway. No exits or on-ramps, just a bridge. The freeway is your basic 4 lane interstate, 2 lanes going each way. And the bridge connected to existing streets on either side of the interstate. About as simple as it gets.

It took almost 2 years to build it. Lol. I can only imagine how many now show no work contractors they had on the payroll, all courtesy of tax payers.

Multiply this by thousands of similar projects all over the country. And it’s why it seems like construction is never ending. And still the left talks about how we need more “infrastructure” spending.

>>Thomas, I once hit a pothole so big on the Cross Bronx Expwy it knocked the tire off the rim.

I believe it.

The worst thing that ever happened while driving in NYC was I turned a corner and landed in a massive deep pothole that I had to be towed out of.

Bent the lower control arm and rim on an RX7.

Not fun to repair.

But unlike today, The South Bronx was full of parts dealers and you could get stolen parts galore.

189 Construction crews purposely make it as inconvenient as possible for drivers. Partly because they are union thugs who like to inflict pain on others.

But mainly because then politicians can sell the idea of more construction. Hey there tax payer driver, doesn’t it sick how bad traffic is? Well,
vote for his $1b bond and we’ll build more roads. Which then funnels more money to the union thugs who happen to work for companies owned by the brothers in law of said politicians. It’s all an op and a grift.

They eat meat in the Med area. Try lamb - prolly the best omega 3 - 6 ratio among land flesh. Chicken's actually high in omega6. Also, avoid rice. I love rice, esp unhulled (not white), but it's super starchy and has arsenic.

The Magyars acquitted themselves far, far better than the Western Europeans other than the Danes. Their alliance with Germany was more geopolitical convenience than ideological conviction. There was a native Hungarian Nazi government but the Germans had to grab the Hungarian Jews themselves after that government fell and the Germans occupied the country.

the Mediterranean diet was established by Ancel Keyes who came to the conclusion by studying Greek Orthodox faithful during their fast periods that peasants in a country in a full post war recession during times when they were forbidden to eat meat represented their whole-life diet and that was why they didn't suffer as many heart attacks as a population that ate a lot of refined sugar and smoked multiple packs of cigarettes a day.

Because science.

227 I do a variant of the Mediterranean diet, not as some weight loss regimen, but because that is how I like to eat. Most Americans are not going to spend a fortune trying to exactly replicate Italy, Crete, and Tunisia, when was the last time you bought Scampi?

I don’t get how people could say the Mediterranean diet is awful, it has wine, Olive oil, and lots of fresh foods. The diet bans virtually nothing, it just emphasizes fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. wine and olive oil aside, the real key is fresh vegetables cooked in an interesting way. This is where the old school American diet let us down, most people don’t like vegetables because they’re cooked so non-creatively almost like they are destined to taste like crap.

The biggest flaw with a Mediterranean diet is, it is an attempt to boil down the longevity of people from Crete, Sardinia, etc. to only the foods they eat, there’s more to it than that.

F that. Eat what you like. Eat what you are used to. Get a scale, and weigh out your calories. Eat one meal a day.

If you need to lose 50 or 100 pounds ya gotta cut the calories. A lot. If you exceed a 1000 or so, if sedentary, fat loss will be glacial.
