Willowed:
Two - sometime back on one of the ONTs, you wrote a brief account of hearing your mother calling you and your sibling from the direction of some shrub and brush a good distance from your home....at a time when your mother was definitely in your home and had not called anybody. A very creepy situation and one that more than a few of us wondered about - not my business, of course, but what do you think actually happened? Posted by: Cardinal Biggles at November 13, 2024 09:48 PM (tmPIh) The voice (in her voice) called from all the way in the back of the property, more than 1000' away. Voice was faint but called, in a stilted way using my and my brother's name specifically to "come here right now!". I asked my brother if he heard it, and his face, turning a bit pale said "yes". We knew mom was in the house and ran there instead; she was cooking in the kitchen and said she hadn't. She always told us when we were little to never listen if voices called us back there...all I'll say to what I think it was is that there are more things in heaven and earth than science acknowledges.

Willowed from the last thread and paraphrased:
Jim in Kalifornia, it is awesome to hear that you are back home, and here's hoping for nothing but good news on the horizon. Second, minor and possible none-of-my-business questions, but several of us were intrigued from an ONT entry of yours a short while back. It was something like you and your sibling, as children, heard your mother calling you from a distant point, a brush area near a creek. Yet you and your sibling saw that your mother was in the house and hadn't called anybody. Again, probably none of my business, but that's a fairly singular and creepy occurrence, and I can't help asking if there was more to the story here.

If it's a particularly beautiful day and the flight is running a little ahead of schedule, the pilot will circle Mt Rainier at fairly close range so everyone can have a looksy.

So, the official election forecast of the Establishment Media was that the race was incredibly close, and that it would take weeks and weeks to determine the winner.

I have noticed posts about leftists doing terrible things over Trump winning.
I suspect you can add my brother to the list. He was a loony leftist. He loved Rachel Madcow and apparently Olliver Willis. He was addicted to MSNBC. He referred to Trump as "Adolph Trump" in my presence. He was a member of Huffpo and/or Dem Underground Our neighbor had been gifted a 12"×12" painted picture of Trump by one of her grandchildren and she kept it in her living room near the door and he called it a "Trump shrine". It was slightly an hour after his favorite "news channels" had called the race for Trump that he ended his life. It wasn't the only reason he did it, but I strongly suspect it was the final "push".

I picked up an old toaster at a rummage sale, a Sunbeam AT-W
It is an odd toaster, it does not have an external lever to move the slice of bread and start the toasting, what you do is put the slice in the slot, and it lowers it automatically, and then when done (theoretically) it raises it back up to be removed, automatically It is the freakiest thing in the world, and it was built when Sunbeam was a premier mark. I have to adjust it, it is out of whack and it burns the toast. It is the first toaster I have had that reliably toasts home made bread though.

I was in Durban, South Africa then,in grad school and I would leave the lab around 6:30pm. I heard both the Flack and Nilsson songs around 6:40pm driving home in my first car, a Ford Cortina, and liked them. I saw all those movies too. A very good year.

There are some Gaetz haters here based on the comments from the McCarthty ouster.
Gaetz was a poon hound when he was single but what most of his detractors claim is that he does everything based on the money he can get from his backers. So what on the skirt chasing and I never believed the claims about his political motivations, Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at November 13, 2024 10:48 PM (D6PGr) 201

No. If we're hoping - I'd hope he'd pick people for every position that had such an obvious, fire breathing hatred for each agency that the Senate would blush at the prospect of even discussing their candidacy.

Madonna is from Bay City.
Don't even mention her name there. Seger was in Ann Arbor when he did "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," but he took a break from the business to go to Eastern. He spent a couple of years just standing in with Teegarden and Van Winkle, who'd had a big hit record at the time. The whole Silver Bullet thing was after he "went commercial." During that time, he had a stagehands' card, and used to work his own concerts, saying he made more money humping the gear than he did singing.

Murkowski has already announced that she's a "No." I heard Collins talking about this, and she's a "No," ... although she didn't actually announce her vote the way Murk did.

@BehizyTweets • 3h John Bolton just said Matt Gaetz is the "worst nomination for a cabinet position in American history." This confirms that Gaetz is indeed the best and most qualified person to lead the DOJ. President Trump made a revolutionary pick. Inverse Bolton. JD Vance @JDVance The main issue with Matt Gaetz is that he used his office to prosecute his political opponents and authorized federal agents to harass parents who were peacefully protesting at school board meetings. Oh wait, that's actually Merrick Garland, the current attorney general. Gaetz isn't perfect, but man he'll be better than what's slithering around in that role now. And the right people hate him.

I’m a big Speed Queen fan. Have a top-loader from about a decade ago. Bulletproof. Got a second one for a rental property about three years ago. Top of the line top-loader. They got rid of the agitator due to EPA bullcrap. Doesn’t clean as well. Has broken down multiple times. Despite multiple Speed Queen authorized repair visits it still overflows and dumps water everywhere, making it useless. Wait until they rollback EPA regs and go back to agitators, at the very least. And get the simple knob kind. The fancy digital ones have circuit board issues, as has the dryer I got at the same time. Posted by: Lifelong Republican! at November 13, 2024 11:20 PM (K4KCe) 329
One thing is for sure... we are entering totally uncharted waters here. This is the real first term of the outsider President. He's intent on cleaning house.
We've never seen anything like what's about to happen. Quite frankly, anything is on the table. The American people may flip overnight against trump and his audacious moves (they are, mostly, dumb). They may give him a chance and then reward us with a shocking midterm win. We might get some rogue generals try to stage a coup. A real one. Literally nothing would surprise me.

Erebus,
So sorry for your loss. The 5th anniversary of my son's suicide is coming up in a couple of weeks. I know the pain that inflicts on one's family. Not to make it political, but leftism is ultimately anti-human and nihilistic. I think most leftists hate themselves in addition to their fellow man. That's what I hate most about leftism or progressivism or whatever you want to call it--what it does to one's soul. My prayers are with you.

I was watching the ShoeOnHead video again and one thing really struck me.
She pointed in most of the video that the Democrats have demonized men and are out to get them which is what has drawn them to voting GOPe. She then notes that this is a mistake because the GOPe isn't going to help men either. And...here is where she misses the re-alignment that Trump brought in. Mitt Romney's policies wouldn't have done much to help young men...but that's because his policies would have been barely different from Obama. But Trump? Presuming he is successful you are going to see something very different from old school uniparty corporatism in a social-left storm trooper uniform as we've been facing for now for most of this millennium.

>>Obama made everyone a czar to get around the senate confirmation process. Make Hegseth the Military Czar. Gaetz is the DOJ Czar. Sure, Trump would have to fill the position with a warm body and appoint the Czar's, they would have no real authority and the moment they tried to tell anyone what to do or direct action the Donks would go to court so fast your head would spin. This sort of thing was always going to be the stick wicket. The Senate is not going to confirm anyone that is going to upset the status quo.

Obama has degrees from Columbia and Harvard, George W. Bush has degrees from Yale and Harvard. Ninety percent of the country considers at least one of these two people to be intellectually inadequate.

[Heartland Institute: "Fracking Boom Masks Obama’s Horrifying Economic Numbers"] By Isaac Orr (2016) https://is.gd/O2pzB5 [Washington Times: "How Fracking Has Saved Obama"] By Richard W. Rahn (2014) https://is.gd/T8Ay89 [Pull Quote:] "Without fracking of oil and gas deposits, there would have been no economic growth in the U.S. over the past five years." 2nd paragraph: "During the first five years of the Obama administration, economic growth averaged a dismal 1.2 percent, and only 2.2 percent in the four years since the recovery from the Great Recession began ... [and] the contribution to GDP from the development of [FRACKING] is now running at more than 2.5 percent of GDP per year and rapidly growing. This addition to GDP is expected to peak in 2016 at about 3.2 of GDP, and thereafter reach a permanently higher, steady state, which would not have occurred without [FRACKING] production." BOTTOM LINE: Through DogEater's first 5 years, FRACKING contributed more to GDP than the overall economy's GDP (would have been NEGATIVE otherwise), and the FRACKING component was expected to rise during his final 2 years (those #s obviously N/A at that time).

Merging one thread theme with another, people revealing the relative distance of their age to 29 and discussion of the mysteries of the female of the species, when did the whole "chicks dig scars" trope emerge? Scars as a sign of social prestige has a definite history in limited contexts, the best example being the Heidelberg alumni, especially the Prussians, who seemed to have treasured the scars they received in student dueling societies. So we've got a late nineteenth/early twentieth century example of scars, especially facial scars, visually denoting the elite of the day in one particular country, but I'm not sure whether that tracks with attractiveness.
Disclaimer: Not being a woman, I have no idea if the trope itself holds any truth, and I'm far enough from 29 to suggest that those aspects of masculinity women find attractive are universal. Posted by: Cardinal Biggles at November 14, 2024 12:27 AM (tmPIh) 499

I would like everybody who says Hegseth is unqualified to please present a list of qualifications for the job.
I think he is probably better suited to VA, but it is important to get somebody who believes that having forces able to defend the US, protect the sea lanes, and project force wherever the people of the US deem necessary is the only reason we have a military, and all the SJW pandering is detrimental to the cause. Hegseth seems to be all there for that. Remember all the hoopla about Mattis in 2017? How did thst really work out for Trump? He had the credentials, but he didn't have the mindset for a Trump administration, preferring business as usual. Trump has learned from that.

There IS a vacancy appointment for a Senate seat, such as Rubio's. The appointed Senator serves until 2026. However, House vacancies (Gaetz) are filled by special election, not by appointment. DeSantis has some latitude as to when he wants to schedule the special elections to replace Gaetz and Waltz. I'm pretty sure both special elections will be on the same date-- to avoid the expense of having 2 separate election days. Posted by: mnw at November 14, 2024 01:05 AM (NLIak) 540

However, House vacancies (Gaetz) are filled by special election, not by appointment. DeSantis has some latitude as to when he wants to schedule the special elections to replace Gaetz and Waltz. I'm pretty sure both special elections will be on the same date-- to avoid the expense of having 2 separate election days.
Posted by: mnw at November 14, 2024 01:05 AM (NLIak) Gaetz has already resigned, in order to allow for a special.election before the new Congress sits on Jan 3, (though really to short circuit the release of the ethics committee report, which is almost guaranteed to leak anyway if there is so much as a single Democrat on the committee.) Since the elections for Waltz and Gaetz replacements will be in two different jurisdictions anyway, there probably won't be an unreasonable amount of added expense if they are held on different days.

I agree about "the real driver of events," as far as Gaetz' motive for his sudden resignation goes. But I can't see why Trump would want to be involved in such a mess. I've read that Gaetz' popularity with his House colleagues was somewhere between anthrax and syphilis. How about this? Trump appointed Gaetz so that his NEXT AG appointment will be greeted with relief and open arms. "We just LOVE him, Mr. President!" Posted by: mnw at November 14, 2024 01:20 AM (NLIak) 556

It seems to me, that all US ambassadors either resign or are fired with every incoming Administration, that-
All Ambassadors to the US must be sent home, pending Senate confirmation of new US ambassadors. Certain countries will not be prioritized for nomination of US ambassadors to those countries. This would put pressure on the Senate, and on certain countries (Hallo UK) to remain without an ambassador to the US. Posted by: Miklos "Tommy" Robinson at November 14, 2024 01:36 AM (+w4kg) 562

Speaking of 72, that's the temp outside. Not much better than yesterday, as the humidity is still high, but 4-5 degrees makes a difference in a workout. In theory it's supposed to be 70 as a high tomorrow. Y'know, the sort of temp it *should* have been in Sept., and is in civilized climes. The cats are tearing around chasing each other in fun, or fighting, I don't know which. I broke it up just in case it was the latter. Thursday. Yay?
