Today, the girls and I are going to plant a couple Pinus Strobus trees in garden yard. These will be for erosion control to keep the top hillside from eroding. Interesting thing about these trees, they were the inspiration for the Boston Tea Party and hold a very interesting place in the American Revolution.

so i had this grand idea to cut the grass (with my old school human-powered reel mower), plant trees, lay out the garden, prep for planting.
i got the grass cut and two trees planted. it is so effing cold out there that the girls could only help for a little bit then froze.
it is april 28th, the wind chill is 36F. i have been paying attention to the weather prognosticators for a couple months now, not ONE mention of how cold its been or the fact that this is the coldest march/april for 150 years. SILENCE.
fortunately, everyone has tons of data at their fingertips and can question the lies. the local tv station took down their weather blog/comment section last week. they were getting lambasted.

I wonder what the Farmer’s Almanac said. I think I’ve mentioned before that I check the weather before I go out and it will say current temp is something like 42, ‘real feel’ 40. I get out there and have to crack the ice on the bird bath. I KNOW they’ve been lying.

He didn’t do this of his own volition, he was asked to do it by somebody, probably offered some quid pro quo. He’s a front man because he has neither the imagination nor the energy to do it on his own.

I don’t think anyone was “fawning” Benny, I think people were pointing out that he tweeted some pretty on-target stuff, which we as “conservatives” SAY needs to happen all the time regarding African Americans leaving the Dem plantation.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
Ben’s mental attitude is a disease. Its a form of intentionally projected “Otherism”. Essentially what Ben is saying is, “West isn’t a conservative, therefore, he should be shunned as a “Other” by conservatives regardless of what he has to say”.
The thing to bear in mind when reading anything Ben writes is this. Ben’s financial future rests upon constant friction between conservatives and liberals. Bottom line, end of story, Ben Shapiro would be unemployed without that constant friction.
No job, no money, no political clout, no fame, no fortune. Ben would become a nobody without that constant friction. Anyone really think Ben would be ok with that?

John Kasich rips GOP, hints at 2020 run against Trump: ‘I can bring that party back’
Ohio Gov. John Kasich hinted again Sunday at a possible 2020 presidential run by ripping the Republican Party and declaring “I can bring that party back.”
The Republican governor accused the GOP of being “anti-immigrant, anti-trade, in favor of debt,” and implored party members to “come home.”
“We should care about people from top to bottom, not just at those at the top but everybody,” Mr. Kasich told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I can bring that party back, that’s what I’m going to do, in one way or another.”

Actually the Chinese have ALWAYS been a little reticent about Civic society outside their family and close friends.
Chinese fiscal connections are famous for reducing the costs of trade and capital between close confidants. Alas China never broadened those connections to span the wider community through the power of associations backed up by a strong commercial legal framework.
When a society sees commercial advantage gained through lying and subterfuge with weak law that depends on corruption rather than equity the economic power suffers a fatal flaw. Sure when rising economic tides lift all boats it’s easy to turn a blind eye to the systemic corruption. It’s when the tides then that we see which system is strong and which self destructs under the weight of that systemic corruption . China is at a cross roads and having destroyed what little civil society it had is now gambling on enforced civility controlled by a corrupt polity and hi-tec surveillance.
Such societal regimes can’t stand for long and China has a long way to fall. Alas it’s morally blind enough to insist that the rest of the world joins it in its fiscal and societal demise.

@ doriangrey:
ok, I’ll bite. What’s the rule of 72?
@ eaglesoars:
@ lobo91:
thank you! I gather it’s not specific to the oil/energy industry, then.
@ eaglesoars:
@ lobo91:
Its a asthmatically rule on doubling. Other wise known as ex-potential growth. Think of the old of the wise man who solves a very serious problem, the king asks him what he wants in payment for saving the kingdom. the wise-man points to the kings chessboard, and says, “1 grain of barley, doubled every day for 64 days”.
By the 34th day, the wise-man owns the entire kingdom. By the 64th day, the wise-man owns the entire kingdoms productive output for the next million years.
Some ideas have seemingly desirable outcomes when seen in very short terms. The consequences of which in the long are incredibly destructive.
The entire boom and bust cycle of economics is based on this. Economies grow until the exponential growth of the economy exceeds the carry capacity of the economy and the economy collapses. The higher the expected return on investment in a given economy, the shorter the boom and bust cycle becomes.
This is a factor of the rule of 72. For every percentage point in return on investment there is a set number of years before the return on investment becomes so great that it cannot be paid. The higher the percentage point, the shorter the cyclic duration.
A 3% return on investment will collapse an economy in half the time that a 1.5% return will. The collapse time for a 1.5% is around 600 years, 3% is around 300 years, 7% a mere 150 years. You see where this is going right? Run multiple simultaneous investment return rates and you get cumulative concurrent exponential growth rates which further erode the cyclical duration between collapses.
In other words, the demand for an ever increasing profit is what collapses economies. Mathematically it is inevitable that interest will eventually exceed principal. The rule of 72 is a mathematical table that shows for each percentage rate how long that will take.
There is little (though not non existent) danger of the rule of 72 causing the collapse of any single individual company its economies that the rule of 72 threatens.
One single grain of barley doubled every day, by 64 days weighs more than the entire planet earth. This is why governments try to keep their growth rates between 2 and 3.5%. Because unchecked growth will consume the entire economy.
@ doriangrey:
dorian, that’s fascinating and I’m not being facetious.
1. Are there any examples in history that show this rule?
2. who/how was it figured out?

I have a feeling the WHCD is officially dead.
I remember when Don Imus was taken to task by the media after chiding Bill Clinton with “Hey baby baby” back in the 90’s.
Michelle Wolfe was disgusting. My guess is that Trump will not have anyone from the White House attending next year. Sarah Huckabee Sanders did not and does not deserve that type of treatment. Oh and Kathie Griffin was there. Proudly talking about how she flipped off a Trump advisor.

Let people see how to be funny, sharp and critical without being disgusting and cruel.
Yes, Michelle Wolf killed. Michelle Wolf. It does indeed make people squirm when they hear ‘jokes’ about not knocking abortion until you’ve tried it and when you try it to really knock it cuz you gotta get that baby outta there. That’s really funny.
I remember how people laughed when some comedian during the Obama admin got up there and made jokes about Mooch’s fat ass and Barry not being able to swing 5 lb weights, so at least in this admin, you never had to wonder about who’s on top.
What, you don’t remember that?
@ eaglesoars:
I noted that at the WHCD, Republican Presidents were mercilessly attacked, but Democrats were treated with deference. I don’t recall anyone making snide jokes about Reggie Love, Cocaine use, Obamacare, etc. If I recall correctly, the so-called comedians like Wanda Sykes went after Republicans like Rush Limbaugh, who weren’t even in attendance.
The only time I can recall a funnyman going after a Democrat was the aforementioned Imus doing a quick one-liner on Clinton “You KNOW he’s said that before” and people in the media demanding that he be taken off the air or suspended for it. He was excoriated the following Monday for his “insulting” innuendo about the President (which turned out to be factual).

hey y’all
@ doriangrey:
There is no originator for the rule.
LMAO Ok so which of you jokers did this?
It was either someone on here, or DoD or Facebook or that asshole Bunk.
However…… It was a real email.
So, what to do? Send in my resume?
I checked where the email came from and that person really exists.
Now that Iran’s apparently pulled out of the idiot deal, we should collapse their mountain tonight.
@ Possum:
From what I hear about Tesla production facilities, it’s a position that’s set up to fail.
If you want to steal their money for a while with that reality in mind, go for it! Just prepare for a lot of CYA work, fingers pointed in your direction, and unexpected knives in the back.
Maybe YOU can turn it around!!

I just turned 60. Have done so many different jobs in my life that I am an expert at none, but the only quality I truly believe I have is to stand back, look at a problem then research a solution.
I may not be able to provide the solution myself ( eg, programming, circuit board design, dishwasher repair, veterinarian services ) but I know what NEEDS to be done and know what specialist skills are required to solve the problem.
Last week my cat nearly died. The veterinarians kept him alive, they didn’t really know what was wrong with him. My part to unravel the mystery was scraping off white paint from trees, same white paint he had on him and testing it using pH strips I got from Amazon.
pH 9+ It was calcium Hydroxide.
They kept him alive, I found the reason for the problem. He is repaired.
But I could not have solved the problem ( saved my cat ) myself. I know what needs to be done then bring in experts. I am not an expert.
Does that make sense?

Great job with the cat!
Also the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada is not a car production plant. It is batteries.

That open source Chinese strategic realignment doc you got the other day in your e-Mail…. The US has been down that particular ‘rabbit hole’ decades ago and is well past that idealised modelling strategic thinking.
Had a response from a US general, and another from an active War College instructor who opined ….. never interrupt an enemy who’s in the middle of making a major mistake!
🙂
The general opined…. about ones enemy that should be remembered when refusing to question foggy intel….
“Gee, General Custer, there seem to be a hell of a lot of Indians around here!”.

Relax Eagles . It’s under control!

CIA emails to journalists don’t have to be released to public, judge rules
WASHINGTON
The CIA can selectively divulge classified information to selected reporters in emails yet withhold that information from other journalists or members of the public when they seek the same information under the Freedom of Information Act, a federal judge in New York has ruled.
The decision appeared in the court record on Friday but became more widely disseminated Monday.
The ruling comes amid vigorous national debate over leaks to the media and the use of anonymous sources in covering national security news, including an ongoing FBI investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Judge Colleen McMahon of the Southern District of New York ruled that the CIA does not have to release parts of five emails senior CIA officials sent to journalists from the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and The Washington Post in 2012. At the time, the CIA was facing pressure over links it may have had to a Pakistani doctor who helped American forces hunt down Osama bin Laden.
The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by Adam Johnson, a freelance reporter, who was represented by a first amendment lawyer in New York City, Daniel Novack.
“The Director of Central Intelligence is free to disclose classified information about CIA sources and methods selectively, if he concludes that it is necessary to do so in order to protect those intelligence sources and methods, and no court can second guess his decision,” McMahon ruled.
McMahon ruled that such communication is not part of the public domain, and that the CIA was within its rights to discuss protected information in emails to reporters of certain media outlets, just as the media outlets are protected by law when sued to divulge anonymous sources.

Unfortunately. What I don’t get is the fact that they have to realize that this could bite them in the ass when one of theirs is President. Just like when they kept trying to give Obama unconstitutional powers. Or the Republicans support for the Patriot act or the Dem support for the “Nuclear option”. Eventually, the other party is in charge and everything you used against them is in place for them to use against you. It’s just common sense, you don’t leave weapons behind for the enemy to use.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
I don’t believe for one second they haven’t considered that.
They’ll just dummy up a case and change the ruling based on a “new interpretation.”
They will NEVER hold themselves to the same standard.
Now you are all going to laugh.
Calo and I see each other about once a week. Just to catch up on things that would take too long to text or email.
Face to face is good.
Last Saturday we met up at 1pm. Drove for a while and chatted, stopped at a gas station, got a coffee then found a place that sells plants that had big shade trees in the parking lot and talked more in the shade while drinking our coffee then parted.
I was back home by 3pm
I like Saturdays!

Well, when the R’s used the Nuclear option they just said “You can’t do that”. They foolishly never got rid of it, so they don’t always clean up after themselves. They get so arrogant they think that no one else is smart enough to think like they do.

@ Deplorable Bumr50:
They thought Obama’s reelection sealed the deal. Permanent victory.
Trumps election was IMPOSSIBLE. As are his holding approval numbers.
They feel cornered, and impotent. Dangerously insane. Both parties, all of DC, and much of the I-95 corridor.
As much a perfectly suited weapon Donald Trump is, this isn’t about him.

Hers was a purely partisan attack, and a vile attack at that. Yeah, fine, do what you want, just don’t expect any more victims to show up at future events. Sure, one can be insulting and funny — Don Rickles perfected that schtick. But it has to be either subtle, or equally abusive to both sides. Her “humor” was neither.

Pretty good ad. I think a country that can maturely handle gun ownership outperforms a country that can’t.

The grind starts up again monday.
People on one of my local news facebook pages defending Jon Tester. FML. Luckily they seem to be the minority. Tester may be finished. Crossing my fingers. Looks like his re-election is going to be an uphill climb. Luckily for him he has corrupt friends and donors. There were some campaign “irregularities” last election in his favor. Only mentioned once then quickly hushed up.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
Did you see that they’ve tracked the smears against Jackson against the doc that serves Pence? A woman who has quite the reputation as a vindictive barracuda bitch. last name is Pena, first name may be Jennifer. I’m in a rush, can’t do links. Sara Carter broke it last nite on Hannity (altho CNN claims to have ‘the exclusive’)
gotta run
