Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Monday Overnight Open Thread (4/15/24)Quote I “The Jezebel spirit opened our event, This is a rebuke and a correction of no one. This is an observation. Before the word of God was opened, there was a platform. It was a high place. On it was a pole, an Asherah, the same thing that’s used in a strip club for women who have the Jezebel spirit to seduce men." Pastor Mark Driscoll of Trinity Church Quote I “I don’t think, at this point, that the United States should be engaged in a military action directly at Iran. But I do believe that if this administration fails to step up to the plate and understand that we have an escalating conflict and make it clear to Iran that there are red lines, and that the United States will defend Israel and will not allow Iran to become a weapon state, that we will be in a broader conflict and we will have less options.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) Quote III “When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical,” Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley Everything you know is wrong. Suspected Iranian agent working for Pentagon while U.S. coordinated defense of Israel Frustration is swirling on Capitol Hill following a top Defense Department official’s revelation that a suspected Iranian influence agent remained on the job at the Pentagon last week while U.S. national security officials were coordinating international efforts to defend Israel from a coming Iranian attack. Sparks flew during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week when Assistant Secretary of Defense Christopher Maier told lawmakers that Ariane Tabatabai remained at work in an office overseeing special operations and irregular warfare despite concerns from lawmakers that she has operated at the behest of the Iranian regime. Suspicion among lawmakers about Ms. Tabatabai’s potential participation in a hidden effort directed by the Iranian regime first came to the fore last year when alleged details about her appeared in a trove of emails from Iranian diplomats spanning from 2003 to 2021 that were published by news outlets. It appears that the Norwegian Lutherans are attacking the Swedish Lutherans. A girl aged only six rescued her family after their house caught fire, dashing inside to shout ‘Wake up mum – wake up the babies.’ Olivia Patterson was on the other side of the street with a friend when ‘by absolute chance’ she saw flames pouring from the semi-detached home in North Yorkshire.

Hannah Guttierez-Reed, the head armorer on the set of the Alec Baldwin film Rust, was sentenced on Monday to 18 months in prison for the 2021 fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by Alec Baldwin. Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March. HUNDREDS of H&R Block customers reported issues on Tax Day with the company's website earlier this morning.

BREAKING: Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton warns protesters like the pro-Palestinian ones that blocked the Golden Gate Bridge that if something like that happened on a bridge in Arkansas, “there would be a lot of very wet criminals that would be tossed overboard.” “If something like this happened in Arkansas on a bridge there, let’s just say I think there would be a lot of very wet criminals that would be tossed overboard, not by law enforcement, but by the people whose road they are blocking. If they glued their hands to the car or the pavement, well … probably pretty painful to have their skin ripped off,” Cotton stated. “But I think that is the way we would handle it in Arkansas,” he continued. “I would encourage most people, anywhere, if they get stuck behind criminals like this who are trying to block traffic, to take matters into their own hands. There’s only usually a few of them and a lot of people being inconvenienced. It is time to put an end to this nonsense.” Posted by: andycanuck (vtyCZ) at April 15, 2024 10:13 PM (vtyCZ) 40

The Whitmer administration proposes spending $8 million in the upcoming fiscal year to fund legal services that could be lifesaving for immigrants seeking asylum.
That's nothing, Whitmer will give you 500 dollars a month to take an illegal into your home. Hopefully the person you house won't kill you and dump your body on US 131.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine:
1. The campaign to take the northeast city of Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine, has started. 2. In selected areas, the Russians are dropping "Surrender" leaflets on Ukrainian troops. This is not something you bother to do to for troops with high morale and motivation. 3. The Ukrainians are threatening to continue attacking Russian oil refineries unless NATO sends more Patriot anti-aircraft systems, the theory being that "Biden" would wish to avoid a disruption in the price of oil prior to the election. The possibility that "Biden" might use that as an excuse to pull all American aid, and cause the immediate end to the war, apparently hasn't occurred to them.

“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical,” Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley
Along with the US Helsinki Commission, the Hudson Institute has sponsored a number of seminars advocating the breakup of the Russian Federation into several dozen weak, nominally independent states. Here was one about a year ago: Preparing for the Dissolution of the Russian Federation featuring the so-called "foreign minister" of the "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria". This is an enormous propaganda gift to Putin, of course. If you want to convince the Russian people that the Ukraine War is an extentntial struggle for the very existence of Russia, there's nothing like having US government-sponsored think tanks stating precisely that.

Road-blocking protesters:
Imagine you're driving on that same road and there's a large tree limb blocking passage (ignore provenance). What do you do? You get out and move it. Would the cops object? No, what can they say since they left it there. So treat a blocking person the same way. Now if the tree limb is too big and heavy then you get out the chainsaw and/or axe and start trimming. Are you getting the idea? If the cops object then ask them to help move the trash from the road and tell them not to allow it to happen again.

The guy in the pretty shirt behind Roy was Sammy Allred and sitting next to him, in black, was Duane "Son" Smith of the world famous Geezinslaw Brothers.
They were friends of my dad and uncle. Duane would stop by their store and tell them the latest on that crazy ass drunk Sammy. A lot of those stories began,"Well, Sammy got drunk and beat the shit out of his wife's car again." Duane's mom and step-dad owned the world famous Broken Spoke on South Lamar. One day Duane stopped by with a copy of Willie's next album (it hadn't been released, it was on a plain yellow 8 track) "Red Headed Stranger", everyone was underwhelmed. So they listened to it again (and drank whiskey) and decided that they liked it. So they listened to it again (more whiskey) and fianlly dawned on them that Willie Nelson was a gd genius.

That's nothing, Whitmer will give you 500 dollars a month to take an illegal into your home. Hopefully the person you house won't kill you and dump your body on US 131. Liberals are so childishly naive that they shouldn't be trusted with driver's licenses, much less with holding public office.

IT probably is in German.
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) While folks occasionally say Eiscreme, old school Krauts (or at least the ones I know and/or related to) usually just say Eis. It's das Eis, interestingly enough - Eis has no gender. Yet the key ingredient in making Eis (oder Eiscreme), Milch (milk) is die Milch. A feminine gender, which makes sense, but why isn't that extended to the dairy product? That's why in German you gotta memorize the gender every time you add a new word to your vocabulary, because German linguistic gender makes little to no sense. (Like Käse is masculine, der Käse, but Pizza, with or without cheese, is feminine, die Pizza.) If you say something about this to your German acquaintances, they will agree with you and laugh in sadistic glee about the difficulties their language causes.

Posted by: pookysgirl, too tired to look it up at April 16, 2024 12:37 AM (dtlDP) Yes. Same goes for Iranians here, both citizens and 'citizens'. They travel back and forth to Iran and sometimes Iran decides to take them into custody; happens with a lot of 'not very friendly to the US' countries which is why I don't know why anybody would go back. But anyway. Quite a few cases of dual-passport Iranians being imprisoned there. (Dual passports is one thing that must end.) Our media doesn't cover these arrests of American citizens by Iran because it serves no assistance to The Narrative. Pisslam is allowed to be a festering boil on humanity because the media is in love with that festering boil (see their love HamAss, those poor suffering innocents), even the gay ones, the stupid 'useful' idiots they be.

The Germans really do seem to experience some glee over your linguistic pitfalls, but you can turn the table on them by asking them to say "squirrel." "Jazz" is good too - the face they make as they spit out "Jassssss" is probably one of the last things the victims of their Teutonic ancestors saw during the heyday of the Dark Ages.

The weird thing (among hosts of other weird things) about The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome is that both featured the same actor (Bruce Spence) apparently playing what were intended to be similar, but not the same roles. In RW he was the Gyro Captain, and in BT he was the pilot of a small experimental aircraft, but we're apparently supposed to believe that these are two different guys.

In the morning, I fixed him up pretty good. He'd make it; he was strong. He ate again. There was plenty left from the night before. I didn't eat. I wasn't hungry. We started off across the blasted wasteland that morning. We'd find another city, and make it. We had to move slow because Blood was still limping.

Condolences, Debby.

It's been a while since I saw the movie, but my recollection is that the end is the same basically. Can't recall whether it was phrased in that language though or with that exact sentiment.

The movie featured a one-liner at the end that made Ellison angry (although when wasn't that guy angry?) where the dog (a telepath) says "Well, I'd say she certainly had marvelous judgement, Albert, if not particularly good taste."

"... and make it clear to Iran that there are red lines" Judging by their attack, they see these lines drawn in red grease paint, and they have banana peels scattered about. 99% failure. I dislike giving the Iranian regime money, but when it's spent for this degree of failure, I'll allow it. I, for one, am still laughing at the mullahs, the IRGC and the Iranian regime in general. Perhaps, for Phase 2, the beard of one of the senior clerics could catch fire during a public event. Posted by: Arbalest at April 16, 2024 02:34 AM (FlRtG) 389

Morning, all you insomaniacals,
Last night was my third using CBD, the non-THC kind, to help me sleep. Maybe it's working. I slept pretty steadily, but no longer than usual; still woke up with not quite six hours. Have you seen the fiftieth anniversary issue of People? Hard to believe it's been around that long -- spring 1974. America was quite a different place then, huh? They have a four-page retrospective of highlights from the Seventies (not many items there, or the Eighties) through to the 2020s. Cool stuff.

Got up and about, went shooting, now at the office waiting for the coffee pot and deciding whether to play 'Russian Doomer Playlist vol. 3' or some soundtrack from a movie.
I've got a bunch of work to do... Posted by: LenNeal at April 16, 2024 03:46 AM (43xH1) 401
I'll try the Dune 2 soundtrack see what that sounds like.

Posted by: Skip at April 16, 2024 03:29 AM Apologies if you know all this; snoring can cause many small " wake-up" per hour -- not usually enough to fully wake you -- but definitely interrupts your sleep. Posted by: JM in Ill -- Behold the Manchurian Candidate at April 16, 2024 04:08 AM (ixSfq) 404
