New executive order has dropped: Rescission of Useless Water Pressure Standards
"Water conservation requirements for faucets, showers, bathtubs, and toilets — promulgated by the Department of Energy pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-486) — make bathroom appliances more expensive and less functional. “Efficiency” standards render other American appliances like clothes washers and dishwashers less useful, more breakable, and more expensive to repair. The Federal Government should not impose or enforce regulations that make taxpayers’ lives worse."

Born 5/6 after my Daughter's typical 40 minute labor, the Boy spent so little time in the birth canal that he wasn't quite caught up with the process when he popped out. Spent 2 days in the NICU, turning blue with lungs not cleared of amniotic fluid yet, and not latching or nursing at all for over 24 hours.
His body finally caught up with the fact that he really had been born, and now he's breathing fine with clear lungs and eating like a tiny horse.
Grandpa babysits him and his two older brothers, Jaxson (4) and Kacey (1.5) on Monday for 3 hours, expecting to spend much of that time keeping the Big Kids from smacking him because he's soaking up attention that properly belongs to them.

Even until last year Mom was talking to Nun friends. Fifty years later. But the nuns were pretty traumatized.

The deceased went full tranny a couple of years before killing himself. The father said he was ok with the silly tranny bag being put on the tombstone but said he wasn't near it and didn't have anything to do with it.
So...I'm guessing he didn't pay for the actual tombstone...

Unless as punishment for a crime for which the person was duly convicted, no. The 13th is essentially phrased as "slavery shall not exist". Slavery was a vile, even if somewhat universal concept over the millennia, and those who participated in it here put a curse on this land we are still dealing with.

Another Judge-King has illegally amended the Constitution.
This time, finding that the Chief Executive can only tinker around the edges staffing the Executive Branch:
Minor staffing level changes only.
That, should the Chief Executive wish to fully run the Executive Branch as he sees fit, he must 1) seek approval from Congress and 2) the plan must be confirmed by a Judge-King.
Further, employee unions, non-profits, state and local governments must also be consulted first.
Naturally, the taxpayer, the voter, the citizen--who expressed their wishes via the election of the President--must be ignored.
Trump, if he does not abide by and respect this illegal Amendment, will foment a Constitutional Crisis.
Not the illegal order of a self-proclaimed Judge-King.

Houthis are zero for 2,000 on F-18s, but we got one! USS Gettysburg - which tried for two, but one evaded.
In any case, given the scale and tempo of operations, my impression is that this operation was very impressive in terms of safety. One loss to friendly fire eff-up, one to landing equipment failure - out of the hundreds/thousands? of sorties, in a combat zone. Not bad at all.

I just visited the Clean Boss website. Seems like a nice product, but there were a couple of things that seem inaccurate to me. First, it says Veggie Wash is tasteless and odorless, but that's the brand I don't use because it leaves an oily, soapy residue that tastes bad. Fit rinses clean. Secondly, they feature a photo of blueberries implying that the natural whiteish bloom is a harmful residue or wax or pesticide when it is actually naturally-occurring and a sign of freshness. The bloom does not need to be washed off.
How am I supposed to have confidence in their claims of quality and efficacy when they make these inaccurate statements?

The officials said the jet failed to come to a proper halt after landing on the carrier. Both members of the crew ejected before the jet plunged into the water and were recovered by a rescue helicopter, one of the officials said."

Its set in the 80s and they have a speech by Reagan early on. I read the director included it because he wanted to contrast Reagan's ideas of foreign enemies with evil in small town America.
And...[Spoilers] the vampire in the movie does come from outside to ravage the town and she succeeds preciously because the police don't have the tools to stop her. The director actually made a movie that makes Reagan's point.

Hell, you can drive all the way to the Arctic Ocean on the Dalton Highway (aka the North Slope Haul Road).
Best have plenty of spare everything and supplies if you're headed up that road, though. What Alaska calls a "highway" often bears little resemblance to what a highway would be in the Lower 48. It's essentially all gravel.
The fam came up in the early '80s, back when the Alaska Highway was still a thousand mile gravel road. That was a fun trip.
Nowadays the Alcan is all paved.

Putin's speech had annoying background chatter which was Xi's translator, and I think Abbas' as well. Gotta fix that next year. Also, the public address narration of events included constant references to the SVO (special military operation = festivities in Ukraine), many more than previous years as I recall.

Yemen's Houthis (Ansarallah) have fired another ballistic missile directly on Israel - and this time it was reportedly intercepted.
Friday's inbound missile was intercepted not by a US-supplied system, but by Israel’s Arrow long-range air defense system.
Israeli media is currently highlighting the failure of the American THAAD system, which missed the intercept.

Any attempt by the director in Let Me In to make a political statement went over my head.
It was a more subtle thing, not "Reagan = Bad" but he was attempting to argue the idea of foreign enemies was too simplistic. But...vampire from out of town qualifies as foreign you know...
I saw that in the original Swedish movie the female vampire was actually supposed to be a gelded boy that everyone just assumes is a girl but was played by an actress. I can't imagine how that would be handle now with all the tranny stuff.

I tend to agree with you. Trump really doesn't want a war with the Courts (but the courts seem to want a war with him). Should he have the stones to defy such a ridiculous judicial decree, I would hope he would book prime-time tv minutes to speak about why he is doing what he is doing. Have the Constitution explained, with large imaqes of text as needed. Have the whole thing laid out. Throw the gauntlet down at Roberts' feet.

Roberts is the one forcing the Constitutional crisis. Roberts has now publicly repudiated Trump at least twice. It was Roberts who put the corrupt Judge Boasberg on the FISA court, and Boasberg happily overlooked the FBI's criminal actions in falsifying evidence against Trump administration officials.
It is also John Roberts who felt it necessary to fly all the way to the Czech Republic and spend a week in a secure diplomatic compound privately discussing "legal strategy" with the Trump-hating Lawfare architect Norm Eisen.
What were Roberts and Eisen discussing, and why did they need such secrecy? Was this an illegal ex parte communication?

Trump is doing what he is Consitutionally allowed to do as The Executive. The Courts are getting way out of their 'balls and strikes' co-equal branch of government lane. Roberts knows this but he is a coward, and that was proven with 404Care's 'it's a TAX!' wimpout. Therein lies the 'Constitutional crisis', a very weak and/or compromised Chief Justice Roberts.

What direction is this possible Axis of Evil in the universe? Get your start chart and look at constellation dubbed Coma Berenices (Bernice's hair, I call it). There's a star there, which is, among other names is called Polaris Galactus Borealis, which is Latin for Pole, Galaxy, North.
That's the direction of the Milky Way's north pole, perpendicular to the galactic plane. And that's where the possible axis of Evil is, meaning the Milky Way's disc spin axis is aligned with it.
Now, some large survey of galactic spin axes seems to indicate a non-random distribution aligned with that direction. They've wondered if that's some artifact, some error in measurement, but it seems to persist.

I think the legal collusion goes much deeper. When you take a closer look at John Roberts, you find not just Norm Eisen, but James Boasberg, Mary McCord, Beryl Howell, and on and on and on.
Not one legal centrist or conservative among them. All close Roberts buddies. I wouldn't be surprised if Roberts moved to Connecticut to open a B&B with Cass Sunstein.

315 I feel great sympathy for both the Russian and Chinese peoples. The suffering they have both endured is almost unspeakable.

Yes.
But working with many mainland Chinese over the years, has made me somewhat less sympathetic to them than I would otherwise be.

Which gives some insight into why Roberts is so insistent that there are no politics in the judiciary - like all leftist totalitarian scum, projection is all they know, and everything is about politics for them, so nothing is.

I wasn’t shrieking, man. Meds, dude.
Yeah, it may be a losing hand. Oh well. Gotta fight with what we got.
Sure as hell ain’t joining the other side. So this is it.

Why do we have stereotypes ? Because, as a group, people act as a group.
Was talking about this with my wife tonight. You want to know the "super-power" of Americans ? Its not economics. Its not religion.
We are able - at least the best of us - to free think. We can walk into a technical situation and just make it work Doesn't take an advanced degree. We just do it.
Nobody else in the world has that.

Agreed. We’re crazy good at exploring. We can blaze trails like nobody else. Probably that whole frontier thing.
Hopefully we can get back to being a decent nation again.

Look up the "Death Probe" Six Million Dollar man episodes. That was entertainment to my 10 yr old self.
An indestructible Russian Venus probe crashed in the US, and thinks its on Venus. Steve Austin has to stop its rampage.

I have heard they are self-absorbed, greedy, amoral and beyond ruthless. Having a totalitarian government watching your every move and stamping out any trace of belief in the divine probably does a lot to get that result.
I would still like to hear from you. No, I haven't dealt with mainland Chinese. That's why I'm asking.

I had the Dr, Venkmann sock on.
I certainly don't claim that they are all like this, just enough recurrence that I am wary. Briefly:
Arrogance
Believe themselves to be a superior life form
Unwillingness to hear something from an American
Tribalism with other Chinese
Clearly believe that China is essentially at war with us and they must remember their duty
Sneakiness
I knew a guy (American) who was in graduate school for anthropology, specialty was China. He quoted an expert in that field; "The arrogance of Chinese intellectuals has to be seen to be believed." He said that was his experience in China, and I'd have to say it has been mine to some extent.
And their business practices -- mein gott.
I've known many who were not like this, were fine, but I've learned to be aware of the possibility.

Useless TV trivia-
Susan Saint James was one of 2 famous actresses from my hometown Rockford, IL. The other was Barbara Hale of Perry Mason fame. And she was the mother of actor William Katt.
Anyone remember his best known role?
