I don’t understand this whole thing with Trump declaring he’s going to be arrested next Tuesday. And telling people to ‘protest peacefully’.
more dots I can’t connect.

Does he think protests are going to stop it? I would think a more ‘sophisticated’ approach would come from his legal team. I don’t know what it would be but the optics would be better.

I think it’s unwise to go protest unless Trump is standing at the door directing the protest.
IMO this is Trump shining a light on the corruption in NY and embarrassing them with publicity ahead of time. People can get their support in order. The DA should just drop it if we lived in a country that wants to be a Republic.
I’d prefer that Trump go to jail so that he can assume a Mandela role. The rest of the world can make fun of Biden. And the GoP has to put up or shut up about the viability of Trump.

Good stuff for kids. They form their lives around some people like that.
Interesting fact. If you are in a desert at night with no compass and the sky is cloudy and you walk in what you think is a straight line to find water then you will actually walk in circles.
One leg is dominant, you take slightly longer strides with one leg over the other.
Something to consider next time you are in the desert, at night and it is cloudy.

In the latest Harry and Meghan rumors (just rumors at this point), H&M have contacted the Duke of Norfolk to demand places on the balcony at Charles’ coronation.
Context: The Duke of Norfolk has traditionally ‘organized’ coronations since George VI, investiture of the Price Charles as the Prince of Wales, funeral of Winston Churchill, etc.
Basically, the Party Planner from Hell.
I will wait to see if the rumor is confirmed, but if so, this should be the best comedy gold ever.
@ eaglesoars:
No. Not just to find water.
If you try to walk in a straight line with no external reference you will actually walk in a circle.
The diameter of the circle depends on the dominance of the dominant leg.
The military persons here may clarify it.
@ Possum:
Is that true for the blind?
@ eaglesoars:
Probably so. In high school they blindfolded us.
With no external reference you cant walk in a straight line.
@ Possum:
LOL now in high school they teach you about butt plugs and chest binding and tucking up your junk and hormone therapy.
@ Possum:
It’s true. It’s actually because one leg is longer than the other.

Still perusing my hobby of watching the UK version of silent witness. Watching for blinking dead bodies.
There was one about three episodes ago.
Currently watching for the slightest twitch.
I’ve been watching a new Amazon Prime series the past few nights: Daisy Jones & the Six. It’s a 10 part limited series about a fictional band in the ’70s. Loosely based on Fleetwood Mac.
Riley Keough (Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter) plays Daisy Jones, the Stevie Nicks-type character of the piece. For those who watched The Terminal List, she played Reece’s wife, mostly in flashbacks. I think this is going to be her breakout role.
The cast members did their own singing throughout the series. They even recorded the fictional hit album (think Rumors), which is available from Amazon.
Eight episodes have been released so far, with the last two due this Friday. Definitely worth a watch if you’re into the classic rock era.
Does anyone else think this sounds a bit too convenient?

Bragg knows this as does everyone else. This is just for entertainment value. Bragg to parade his ‘woke chops’ to his acolytes, and Trump to short term energise his team and keep his name in lights! Trump knows that the MSM are addicted to trying to bring him low and this latest side-show is just more of the same.

From Wiki:
@ Bunk Five Hawks X
When Layla hit the world every female wanted to know who it was written for and it didn’t take long to figure out it was Patti. Long before social media. Music like that doesn’t come out of nowhere. Her autobiography is brutal. George Harrison was a son of a bitch and Clapton was totally captured by addiction. Both of them treated her like garbage, love songs notwithstanding. In an interview that I watched, Clapton said he didn’t really know if he ever loved her, all he knew is that he was obsessed with her.
Patti is happily/successfully married now. Clapton is also, I believe. Altho he lost one child in a horrific accident in NYC, when his son fell out a window of the apartment. “Tears in Heaven” is the song about that.

To be fair, LZ wasn’t the only band to do it. For example, the J. Geils Band’s Whammerjammer was a slightly modified cover of James Cotton’s The Creeper.

Oil companies have come under increasing legal scrutiny and face allegations of defrauding investors, racketeering, and a wave of other lawsuits. But a new paper argues there’s another way to hold big oil accountable for climate damage: trying companies for homicide.
The striking and seemingly radical legal theory is laid out in a paper accepted for publication in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. In it, the authors argue fossil fuel companies “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”.

Ford Loses $3 Billion on EV Business Unit, Don’t Fret Yet
Though Ford is apparently burning through money when it comes to its EV business unit, it expects to be on the positive side of the ledger eventually.

Black Lives Matter Activists Executed A Shocking $83 Billion Shakedown Of American Corporations
We are surprised at some of the incredulity in our calculations. So too is BLM, which suggests that objections to wealth transfers of this scale are rooted in “white supremacy,” and “a pathology that Black organizations don’t deserve to be funded.”
BLM called for reparations. In a sense, they succeeded, as these reparations were paid out to BLM itself (approximately $122 million) and to its vast NGO archipelago and other racialized causes and schemes under various names.

@ eaglesoars:
For me, salad is lettuce, dressing, crutons, bacon bits and cheese. Maybe ham or turkey. 🙂
I can do scrambled eggs easy enough.
Mrs will NOT eat any kind of seafood.
For broth, I just buy it. I’ve got a slow cooker, instant pot and air fryer.
We haven’t bought the roasted chickens, but I could either get one of those or use my pellet grill to smoke something. I found a great dry rub and might start trying my own mixes later on.
HEY CALO. YOU LURKING?
As difficult as it may be, just a word occasionally would be great.
@ right_wing2:
Salads: First step. replace the lettuce with baby spinach. Choose a fruit you like. Blueberries. Strawberries. Whatever you like. Just one fruit for now. Now you need animal protein. Hard boiled eggs are fine. Ham steak. Whatever. Now veg. Carrots are important. Raw. Buy them shredded or whole, I don’t care. Chop them they way you like. Next, Peppers. Red, yellow, green, whatever you like. The basic idea is using raw veggies that you like. zuchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, cucumber. Just load up on those things. Also cabbage, VERY good. But lose the iceberg lettuce. Stay with one fruit per salad because they have sugar which you don’t need right now.
Dressing: Make your own. Very easy. 3 parts oil to one part acid is the basic formula. If you’re going to reach into your cabinet and grab something like corn oil, just walk out into traffic and be done with it. Olive oil. The acid can be whatever you like. Rice vinegar, sherry vinegar. You might like an emulsifier such as prepared mustard. 2 minutes to make, dump everything in a jar and shake it.
Look into avocado oil. A very mild taste (and if you want to cook with it, it has the highest smoke point I know of – 500F I believe) and quite healthy.
If you like Asain dressing, I have a great recipe for that but it might be a bit expensive. Soy, oyster sauce, etc. But let me know.
Have you tried tofu?
@ eaglesoars:
I should also say: DO NOT forget salt. I don’t know exactly what that stuff does but it is magic. Not a lot, just a chef’s kiss
Oh, and olives. Pitted kalamata.
oh. cheese. Yes. People I’ve talked to tell me this: mozzarella is the go to when weight is an issue. I love it. But if you don’t eat the stuff you love, cheese is good stuff. Also, for some people, it seems to offset the carb cravings.
Everybody’s metabolism is different. If I don’t get my carbs, I become a screaming harpy [SHUT. UP.], so if you want bread/noodles do what you need to do.
And don’t forget the BUTTER!!
Just load up on the veggies
@ Possum:
Speaking of cheese, how’s the leg doing Mr. Possum?
@ eaglesoars:
I love the iceberg lettuce, but I know it’s basically water. I’ve learned to like spinach (fresh). Broccoli in a pinch and only the tops, tomatoes & peppers, no thanks. Corn, green beans, carrots, 100% yes. Pickles only if they’re sweet. Zucchini or cukes? Nope.
I’ll see about a home made dressing. We do use olive oil to cook.
Dollar General has small packages of dried fruit for $1 that makes a great snack and it’s at least reasonably healthy. There’s a great place downtown called the Nifty Nut House that has all kinds of dried fruit, nuts, candy etc. Very expensive though, and they’ve been out of stock of a lot of stuff lately. I enjoy fruit, just don’t do anywhere near as well as I should at eating it.
@ right_wing2:
ok. go back to carrots. do you like them?

Still fucking painful and I preferred my diagnosis of a broken leg.
Then someone here made me think. DVT due to a traumatic injury.
Anyway I now have a shiny new driver licence so Amazon and Grubhub and Ubereats now deliver beer!
No requirement for legs that work anymore.
Life is good…..

I’m not a big fan of coffee. I drink it in the morning just to get me going. I add a bit of salt to the grinds when I brew it to smooth in out and that’s good. But I read something about adding just a tad of cinnamon with the sugar and OMG! Fabulous. I also add some mocha powder mix. Heaven.

These experimental jabs are seeming to have intended consequences by attacking internal organs. Too bad the Pentagon’s experiment in a fail safe solution to bio-warfare was a total cock-up. Handing off research to a low tech set of a funded Chinese screw-up lab was also a failure in the Pentagon’s assessment capability.
Like arrogant hubristic children playing with matches in a powder store.

Next will be the erasing of official histories. Funny how all of the linkages to Confederate and Democrat historical people get erased. Next all of the Democrats who were members of the KKK and Jin Crow will be erased from history. Give the Democrats another 50 years of public ‘education’ and there will be no history of Democrat linkages to official history. Then they can program students with ‘official history that will link Republicans with racism. Pot Kettle Black historical switcharoo.

These people are truly evil and worship at the feet of their ‘father of lies.’

There was a solid hatred of Irish in Oz as well, especially in Victoria. South Australia too where ‘free British settlers’ flocked in during the 1870s. The Irish were hated in Victoria with a vengeance. It almost came to revolution in the 1850-60s at Eureka and in Melbourne when 10,000 Irish gold miners threatened to kill all of Victoria Police in Collins Street and burn down the Victorian Parliament …. with the representatives locked inside. This was after the Eureka Stockade and the still born revolution, but when the leaders of the rebellion were locked up in Pentridge Jail. The Victoria Government blinked first the police dispersed and the revolutionaries were released without charge. The outlaw Ned Kelly and his gang were in fact thugs but they played on Irish injustice and milked sympathy from the Irish. They had a certain bravado however and curried favour locally with stunts like robbing the Glenroan pub and then throwing the cash onto the bar and inviting the Irish ‘diggers’ on the gold fields to drink the pub dry. My great Grandmother Granny Jones was best mates with Kate Kelly Ned’s younger sister and Kate admitted in 1930 before she died, to Granny Jones that Ned was indeed a thug and deserved being hanged at Pentridge for his crimes.

You guys may be interested in the linkage between the late 1890s German occultists, the 1930s NAZIs, the establishment of the German Greens in the 1970s, the Euro Green Parties and the current Davos and WEF Agenda 30 Schwab fanatics. The same occult BS runs through the lot of them.

When I arrived in NZ to get married to my bride, I faced a wall of born again fanatics not one had even spoken to a Catholic… ever!
AND I brought my own ‘private’ tame Catholic priest with me. Fr. Dennis Madigan who checked me out on my aircraft type before he launched me into the jungles of New Guinea a few years earlier. He was a ‘late vocation’ to the Church and had been a weapons fitter in the Air Force and then an accountant. He hosted a radio show in Sydney, was the Procurator for the Passionist Missions and a VERY well known guy in Sydney. He owned shares in race horses and was endured by the Bishop of Sydney. He was also a pretty good pilot as well.
While I was sweating in New Guinea trying to survive the flying he went to London and dragooned the Aussie Opera diva Joan Sutherland into singing for free at the Royal Albert Hall in London to raise $$$$to keep my airplane flying in Vanimo TPNG. He arranged for my future bride a front seat with the VIPs as she was working on Harley Street as a Bacteriologist. Dennis had the ‘born agains’ haters, eating out of his hands at the wedding with his Irish blarney!
🙂
Great Priest. He could talk his way past St. Peter!
