IT’s AN OPEN THREAD>
DITKA, et al.. HAIL TO PITT! I wold have put Tony Dorsett in the backfield too.
0/1 last week, 32/61…1200/1000 thus far, NO ARMY did not BEAT NAVY. $100 each bet:
#17 Memphis v #10 Penn State 12:00 PM…The Nittany Lions are giving 7…They beat this spread. I’m sorry. 7????
#15 Notre Dame v Iowa State 12:00 PM…The Good Catholic Boys versus the farmers. 😉 ND is giving 3.5 in the Camping World Bowl. These two teams are both over 100 years old and have never met. That is hard to believe given their proximity. This would have been a perfect game for a rail road journey back in the day. ND covers.
And now it’s time to decide who gets to play in the Big Game.
#4 Oklahoma v #1 LSU 4:00 PM….The Chic-fil-A Peach bowl and Cfp Semifinal. The LSU offense is lights-out good. They are scary to watch. And they are giving 13.5. Man, that is a lot for a playoff game. My bet is OU covers. If not, they get blown off the field.. LSU covers, i just can’t bet against this offense.
#3 Clemson at #2 Ohio State – Playstation Fiesta Bowl – Cfp Semifinal – Sat, Dec 28, 8:00 PM ET…Clemson is a 2 point dog. Look, if you want to watch one great college football game, a game for the ages, THIS IS IT. these are two complete teams and they match up perfectly because they have no weaknesses! This is going to come down to the odd bounce of the ball, a tipped pass, a long field goal missed….I’m down to looking at the kickers…and they are even! But, Clemson’s has one longer than OSU…Clemson covers.
Well, I just had another ‘friend’ block and delete me on FB…guy is from France. We were talking about sports history. He asked me “Who won the first Tour de France”. Apparently the 5th Panzer Division was not the correct answer.

Biden: I didn’t call him fat. I said facts…or possibly Jack. I don’t remember

In case you’re interested, this is the recipe I used for the turkey breast. It really turned out well.
@ lobo91:
on it. we got a meat slicer that works great to make lunch meat.
THX!
the aussies are in grind-down mode against the kiwis at the MCG.
the aussies have recovered form last year’s unmentionables
@ coldwarrior:
If you check your local Walmart, they probably have leftover frozen turkey breasts for about 98 cents a pound, BTW. That’s where I got mine. I may go back and get a few more.

I know you posted this in a previous thread. Which pellet smoker did you get?
@ AZfederalist:
I got a Camp Chef model that they make special for Sportsman’s Warehouse. It’s similar to the Smoke Pro DLX 24, but it has a window in the lid that let’s you see the food without opening it, and it also has one in the pellet hopper so you can see the pellet level.
I got it on sale for $399 (regular $599).
@ lobo91:
So, it does smoking as well as grilling?
AZfederalist wrote:
Yup. It works best as a smoker, and it doubles as a convection oven. You can even bake bread in it.
You can use it as a grill, but it’s not great for things that need high direct heat (steaks, for example).
They did come up with a solution, though. Camp Chef makes an accessory called the Sidekick Grill, which is a single 30,000 btu propane burner that mounts in place of the side shelf. It uses the standard big propane tanks you can exchange everywhere.
I got mine on Amazon, and it just arrived today. I’m going to install it tomorrow.

snort
The lawsuit stems from a July segment in which Maddow asserted, as fact, that “in this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump right wing news outlet in America is really literally is paid Russian propaganda,”
Maddow’s lawyer Theodore Boutrous Jr. wrote in a defense motion that “…the liberal host was clearly offering up her ‘own unique expression’ of her views to capture what she saw as the ‘ridiculous’ nature of the undisputed facts. Her comment, therefore, is a quintessential statement ‘of rhetorical hyperbole, incapable of being proved true or false.’”

I use the instant pot all the time.

… and come back with the defense that basically says, “You are too ignorant to understand we were engaging in hyperbole”.
Yet let someone like Rush or Trump make a statement with real hyperbole and watch them go high order.
On another blog (Brit) I visit, a poster who goes by ‘DJM’ just described a conversation he had with his (soon-to-be ex) wife
Me : Bathroom is cleaned…….
LaDJM : Thank you.
Me : Why do we keep the toilet brush in the shower ?
LaDJM : What ?
Me : Why is the toilet brush in the shower ?
LaDJM : What the hell are you talking about ?
Me : The puffy thing with the handle
La DJM : MY LOOFAH ???????
Me : You named the toilet brush ?
Well, I got the side burner installed on the pellet grill. Boy, does that thing get hot fast!
It got up to 600 degrees in about 5 minutes.

Two reasons….

That not only makes no geographic sense, Biden makes no political sense either.
Ask yourself, why would anyone leaving Venezuela go to Bolivia who suffered decades of socialist repression under Morales the recently sacked el Presidente for Life?
That would be out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Biden has lost what little is left of his mind.
Aussie Infidel wrote:
That, and he was claiming that while he was serving in the Obama administration, they were working the problem — that is a bald-faced lie. They were letting their bolshevik brethren, Chavez and Morales run the country into the ground.
Cold, love you bro but you always underestimated my team.
Looking forward playing LSU.
@ Aussie Infidel:
Watch it, Biden will challenge you to push ups. The guy is certifiable.

LSU V Clemson in the final
4/4 36/65 1600/1000
morning y’all
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, “I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.” The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a “thank you” card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a “thank you” card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door.
Then, a Member of Congress went in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The Member of Congress was very happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up his shop, there were a dozen Members of Congress lined up, waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it!

The going nowhere Bears are playing the playoff bound Vikings. The Vikes are at home and are playing a lot of reserves.
On the Bears opening drive they drive it to the Vikings 8 and it is 4th and 2.
So if you have nothing to lose you go for it, right? Wrong! This is the Bears, they kick the field goal.
Oh, WTF?

It sounds like the presser Texas law enforcement are giving on the church shooting is being held at a firing range.
@ eaglesoars:
Have you seen the video of the shooting?
lobo91 wrote:
about 10 times. Several versions. The shooter talked to those people along the wall before he pulled his weapon. I don’t know how he could not have seen the guy (in uniform?) with THE HOLSTER ON HIS HIP!
That’s was really good shooting, too. one head shot at – what, maybe 15 yrds?
eaglesoars wrote:
… as well as about 5 other people drawing arms as the shooting was going down.

Mrs RW still thinks Andrew Yang’s $1000/mo to every adult is a great idea. And yeah, like I said before we could use $2000/month more.

Joe Biden has adopted the far left’s position that fossil fuels are responsible for climate change. Activism seeks to jail deniers and executives of oil and gas companies.
Wonder what Biden’s son Hunter thinks about this since he sits on the company board of a fossil fuel company that greatly enriched him?

So, here’s an idiots advice on how to handle things when Virginia officials start the confiscation
——————
So, gun owners, do let them take your guns when they come to your door..yes you do.. you are being caught on camera. I know this is a horrible situation, but you are fighting a MEDIA war, not a shooting war right now .
Don’t fight on the enemies battlefield, with the enemies rules, it’s a totally rigged game. BUT there is an effective way to fight back without losing the propaganda wars.
Gun owners must life untenable, uncomfortable, and personally difficult for the law makers and expensive for the state. How do you do this with out taking a life or putting lives in danger?
State owned cars, trucks, busses, anything that has 4 wheels, BUT IS NOT A FIRE TRUCK OR AMBULANCE OR ANY FIRST RESPONDER vehicle are fair game. It is absolutely vital to ensure that no one get hurt, and that the cars and vehicles are empty of people . and not just one or two vehicles , HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS. Let the VA lawmakers know they cannot avoid responsibility for their actions. Buildings are off-limits because you cannot see if the buildings are un-occupied.

There’s more but it’s just as pathetic.

the dems in VA are praying for armed insurrection. they desire it more than life itself.
i have no faith that the police won’t go around and confiscate. they value their pensions more than the constitution of the united states that they are sworn to uphold
“On my honor,
I will never betray my badge,
my integrity, my character,
or the public trust.
I will always have the courage
to hold myself and others
accountable for our actions.
I will always uphold the Constitution,
the community,
and the agency I serve,
so help me God.”
