@ lobo91:
She and Hubby are buds. He says she will kick ass.
I just had to email my senator’s office and tell her to shit or get off the pot . She put some lame msg on X saying she will be ‘evaluating’ all the candidates for Sen maj leader and will vote for whoever best supports Trump. Yet she couldn’t say ‘Rick Scott’.
Not. Good. Enough.

@ eaglesoars:
The amount they spent on celebrities was amazing. They reportedly spent $20 million in the last week of the campaign on celebrity appearances. Oprah was paid $1 million for that “interview” she did. Beyonce, Lizzo and Springsteen each got a couple million for 5 minute appearances.
I seriously doubt that any of the celebrities who appeared at Trump rallies were paid anything, nor were Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Elon Musk, etc. They may have had their travel expenses covered, but that’s it.
@ lobo91:
Other than Oprah, I don’t know that any celebs got paid but the infrastructure for the stages, etc, would still have cost a fortune.
She should have done Rogan

If Tom Homan doesn’t work out, maybe they could try Phil Collins. If nothing else, they’d have a theme song for the administration:
Preliminary results of the egg taste test.
There are no results yet. Walmart grocery order delivered, fresh Italian sausage, 5.09lbs pork loin roast, two cartons of chicken broth, taco seasoning, alfredo sauce, 4 bags frozen cauliflower, 2 bags frozen Brussels sprouts, butter and a 32oz jar of peanuts. All high fat, high protein and low carb foods.
Oh, eggs!
Ordered an 18 pack of regular Walmart eggs and a 12 pack of Eggland eggs. That is where phase one of the taste test failed miserably.
They were out of eggland eggs so the shopper substituted a 12 pack of ordinary Walmart eggs instead. No complaint there, they fulfilled my order and an egg is an egg right!
So, going to have to wait a couple of weeks before I try the experiment again.
( minimum grocery order is $35 )
The Cat Distribution System is hard at work.
Mrs. and I were out setting a few things up on the patio. I went up to the garage to bring our fire pit down. When I got back, Mrs. was holding a Siamese kitten, maybe 3 months or so old, who’d been sleeping on a mop I had drying in the walkout. Poor thing was VERY hungry and dirty.
@ Possum:
Five pounds of pork loin roast!
Yep, it is currently $1.97 per pound and is the cheapest meat available at the moment. Plus as it is marbled with fat then they cannot trim all the fat off it. See my previous rants about cuts of meat being over trimmed. Fat is tasty!
If I lived next to CW I would sneak onto his property and using stealth insert my pork into his smoker for 12 hrs or so.
Alas that will not happen. A chunk will end up in the tiny slow cooker with onions and chicken broth, another chunk will be seasoned with onion powder and sage and wrapped in foil and Mr Airfryer will deal with it.
That leaves a big chunk that some of it will be sliced into 1/4 inch thickness and flash fried in a skillet with coconut oil. Served with bean sprouts and Teriyaki sauce.
The rest of it will be placed in a one gallon ziplock bag with an ample dose of chicken broth and frozen. Hence the chicken broth on the order. It is cheap and prevents freezer burn.
Don’t ask what I am going to do with the Italian sausage…

@ right_wing2:
Only reason I buy lottery tickets is to win and create a cat sanctuary.
@ Possum:
OK I give in. A rissole is an individual sized chunk of what Americans call meatloaf, but it is not cooked as a big loaf it is shaped like a hamburger patty and fried in a skillet or grilled.
Instead of 3 hours at 350F to bake a loaf of meat loaf it is 7 minutes then flipped and another 7 minutes in a skillet.
A hybrid cross between a meat burger and a veggie burger.

They’re not planning to, at least for now: Progressive Democrats push to take over party leadership.
Progressive Democrats are pushing to take over the party leadership as in-fighting breaks out following Kamala Harris’s election defeat.
Left-wingers are hoping to install Ben Wikler, the Wisconsin Democratic chairman, to take over the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and swing it away from the current centrist leadership ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Pramila Jayapal, who leads the Democrats’ progressive faction in Congress, has said she would “love to see somebody” who is “like a Ben Wikler”, Politico reports.
Her intervention may mean Left-wing Democrats swing behind Mr Wikler, who is seen as an effective fundraiser and has been credited with reviving his party’s fortunes in Wisconsin, if he launches a bid for the position.
It comes as Democrats battle over how to rebuild their party following Donald Trump’s election victory on Tuesday night.
Different factions of the party are openly feuding with each other in the aftermath of Ms Harris’s defeat, amid claims that the vice-president failed to appeal to working-class voters.
Bernie Sanders, the veteran Vermont senator, has argued that the next Democratic campaign should be based on a more Left-wing economic message.

The quest for a tasty egg continues.
Eggland not only sells eggs but also sells feed for backyard chickens! So possibly the enriched eggs as relative to regular eggs is a result of the food the chickens eat and not a genetic selection and breeding of the actual hens that lay the better eggs.
Walmart sells Eggland chicken food in 40lbs bags. A healthy food that produces tasty eggs.
I think I will skip the step of feeding this to a chicken so it can poop out an egg per day, in fact raising chickens in my apartment may cause problems with the other residents in my home.
Why not just eat the chicken food? It seems to have everything in it.
LOL
@ Possum:
Yes, I am bored.
Looked up some of the ingredients of that chicken food. I will not bore you with all my findings as you all have lives.
Anyway, what makes an egg look more appetizing is a nice deep yellow yolk. That is an indicator of goodness and the nutritious and healthy look of a pasture raised and farm fresh egg.
Tagetes (Aztec Marigold) Meal (Color). Now it is important that things are added to food, even chicken food, so that the chicken likes the look of their food and eats it.
Wrong, the Aztec Marigold is bright yellow, and that colouring is passed through the chicken and into the yolk.
So, feed a chicken yellow dye and you get yellow yolks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagetes_erecta
I want a chicken! Going to feed it purple food colouring and see what pops out!

@ lobo91:
Supposedly it applies to eligible / credible candidates of major parties, and the document was due in October prior to the election.Warren says it’s about ethics, yet that word doesn’t appear in the text of the law. It seems to be about verifying a candidate’s campaign financing is in order (so someone may be booted from the ballot before the candidate can address irregularities).
Possum wrote:
Figuring out the percentages and converting the measurements to metric, then weighing out each ingredient to make a bucket of nasty paste sounds like a nightmare.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
If she’s worried about campaign financing “irregularities,” she might want to look into how Kamala Harris managed to spend $1 billion in 103 days.
@ lobo91:
That’s a good example of corruption, not illegal corruption.
Sort of like the difference between rape and rape-rape.

Yep, I have problems doing my spreadsheet thing to work out how much beer I drink.
What is worrying me is although a person may eat an egg what that egg is composed of is dependent on what that chicken ate.
So, free range, live in the wild, eat what they want chicken eggs may not be such a good idea
Well, just got off the phone with my mandated financial advisor. It is a requirement if you have a SIPP in the UK. Self Invested Pension Plan. I have to have a review every three months.
Just authorized a transfer from the UK to the US, an amount of money that will last me six months at my current rate of spending.
Oddly that amount is the same amount my pension plan gained since Trump got elected and we had a good laugh about that!
If I met Trump I would give him a big wet kiss on the lips and I would not mind if he got some tongue action in.
Trump being elected is not just a good thing for the US economy, it is a world wide bonus.
Hope he keeps his promises.

@ Possum:
For anyone slightly interested.
To withdraw money from a UK pension to be deposited into a US bank account is not easy the first time. We did a trial run of 100 GBP a while ago. Just to start the paperwork with UK taxes.
Until a non-UK resident tax code is approved any withdrawal is taxed at 40% before it leaves the UK. Regardless of where it goes. So basically any money I transfer from the UK already is minus 40%. I will get that back in April 2025, end of UK tax year.
Once money arrives in the US I have to declare it as income and will be taxed accordingly. That seems fair, even though I am bringing wealth into the US economy.
The UK tax refund will be regarded as income when I get it in April 2025 and will have to be declared on my 2025 US taxes.
So, basically over 60% of any money I get from my pension is gone in taxes, granted I get a lot of that tax money back.
Which leaves me enough money for rent, cat food and beer. Life is good.

REPORT: Trump has inherited a “turd of an economy,” and when things “roll over,” he’ll be the one blamed for it.
This dire news comes from COVID vaccine data analyst and former BlackRock asset manager Edward Dowd.
Dowd predicts things could “unravel anytime between now and March.” And if the incoming Trump administration doesn’t “get out in front of the narrative,” then they are “going to get blamed for what is coming.”
According to Dowd, America should have already entered a recession by “the second half of 2023.” However, “The government went on a spending spree… which gave the economy a bit more life.”
“The real economy (not the stock market) has been rolling over,” Dowd lamented, “and we’re just waiting for the financial markets to figure this out. They will. And when they do, unfortunately, Trump will inherit turd of a financial market crisis.”
The other big problem, Down warned, is that Trump also needs to get ahead of the COVID “vaccine” disaster.
The death and disability numbers are not looking good. Listen to the full report for more details.

This is a fun thread
Twenty utterly random ideas for the next SecDef:
1. Restore the West Point motto to “Duty, Honor, Country.”
2. No women on submarines. Put 19 year olds in close quarters under water and they are making babies in the head.
3. Two PT tests per year. One is just to be in uniform and everyone takes it. The other is MOS-specific. There can be different gender standards for the first one. The other one is gender neutral. Don’t pass the first one? Chaptered. Don’t pass the second one? Reclas.
4. Pledge of allegiance every morning in resident professional development courses.
5. Tabasco back in MREs.
6. Fort Bragg is Fort Bragg.
7. Keep the A-10, but buy a bunch more of AT-802U Sky Wardens too.
8. Create a 25 year program to build back the fast sealift USNS fleet.
9. No more “months” to celebrate driving wedges based on skin color, ethnicity or genitalia. One team, one fight no matter where you came from or what you look like.
10. Create a family readiness group MOS—officer and NCO. Spouses all have jobs and they gotta feed the kids when Dad/Mom is deployed. Have professionals who know how to run a rear det at battalion level and above.
11. Give the Marines back their tanks and artillery.
12. Focus anti-drone tech on killing the drone operators through SIGINT and integrated fires.
13. Creamed chip beef mandatory in every chow hall and ship for breakfast.
14. Any weapon system in development for more than 5 years is cancelled.
15. If a retired flag officer sits on the board of directors or board of advisors of a defense contractor, they permanently forfeit their pension.
16. Acquisition Corps officers have a lifetime ban on working for a defense contractor.
17. Space Force gets to wear their iPhones on their dress uniform belt like tricorders.
18. Black berets again for the 75th Rangers.
19. Ask everyone who comes into your office looking for money “How does this improve warfighting lethality?”
20. Demonstrated combat effectiveness the #1 criteria for all officer and NCO promotions.
I have a lot of ideas and I couldn’t sleep.
Oh and a bonus one: JCS PT tests and weigh-ins run by randomly selected E-7s from tactical units.

“lost” my ass
California Governor Gavin Newsom “Lost” the amount of money it would take to house EVERY HOMELESS PERSON in the state for 67 months (5 1/2 years)
– Approximately 186,000 homeless people
– Gavin Newsom lost $27 billion allocated for the homeless
– $27 billion / 186,000 homeless =$145,161 per person
– Average 1 bedroom rent is $2,153 / 186,000 homeless
= 67 months of rent for each homeless person

Of course, it’s nowhere near that simple. If they were to rent 186,000 apartments (which probably don’t exist in the first place), within 3 months, 185,000 of them would be unlivable.
And we all know that money wasn’t “lost.” They just didn’t keep publicly available records of where it went. It’s probably all in a ledger that’s in a safe in the governor’s mansion.

The entire Hamas leadership has left Qatar and is now in Turkey.
I’ll remind you, Turkey is a member of NATO.
If Israel takes out a Hamas leader on Turkish soil, theoretically, that can be an attack on a NATO country and would require by Article 5 of NATO that the US defend it.
Will Israel not do anything and let the entire Hamas leadership stay in Turkey safely? I don’t see that happening.
So if Israel does attack and eliminate someone on Turkish soil, and Turkey calls on NATO to defend it, what happens next?
This is some apocalyptic stuff. Very end of days vibe.

Yeah, but before they did it by sneaking up on the terrorists and disposing of the targets by clandestine means.
Latest method of eliminating enemies of Israel is to bomb the shit out of buildings they think terrorists are hiding in with not a lot of regard for civilian casualties.

“Hygiene Poverty”: The Brutal Reality of Life in Net Zero Britain
———
In some ways it is worse today than it was in the late 1800s during Queen Victoria’s reign. At least the Victorian poor were allowed to burn scrap wood for warmth. Most homes in Victorian times had some kind of fireplace or hearth where people could burn wood or whatever else they could get their hands on to stay warm.
In today’s Britain, even if you have a fireplace, only expensive low sulphur smokeless fuel is permitted since a 2020 crackdown on burning firewood in urban areas. In any case, people who can barely afford electricity are unlikely to be living in a home with a safe fireplace. Lightning a fire in a hovel with a cracked and crumbling fireplace and chimney is unlikely to end well for anyone concerned.
Blackpool, which was quoted in the article above, has a thriving prostitution industry. While Blackpool tries to portray itself as a family friendly holiday destination, and a lot of families do visit and enjoy the seaside amenities of Blackpool, if you leave your hotel at night, you may find the streets filled with a very different crowd. It is not difficult to understand why people in impossible circumstances sell themselves to try to give their kids at least some of the necessities of life, or stop borderline criminal debt collectors from battering their door, trying to collect on the desperate high interest payday loans which have consumed their income. But with family home heating bills exceeding £3000 / year (US $3700 / year) for a one bedroom flat in some of the poorest quality properties, and all the competition from other desperate Britons, along with economic refugees from Germany’s train wreck economy and other financially stricken parts of Europe, that occasional Saturday night some mums and dads spend turning tricks to boost the family income likely just covers the heating bills and other basic necessities.
The saddest part of this for me is it is all so unnecessary. Blackpool is in Lancashire, which has one of Britain’s largest reserves of frackable gas. Test wells have been drilled which prove the viability of the reserve. But nobody is allowed to extract the gas, because Britain is committed to Nut Zero.

Tonight supper may very end up been fed to Mr Toilet but if you don’t try and fail many times then you never great a masterpiece.
Pasta with alfredo sauce, even Mac and cheese. Awesome! but high in carbs…
Onions have a surprisingly relatively high carbohydrate an an onion is a food store for the following year’s growth, much like a potato.
So, tonight experiment is something that looks like spaghetti or linguini or fettuccini bathed in an alfredo and Italian sausage sauce but is not pasta but onions.
Take a medium size onion, cut it in half then slice it into 3-4mm slices ( just under 1/4 inch for you non-metric people )
Add the onions to a hot skillet with 28g coconut oil ( one ounce ) and keep stirring to brown the onions but not cook them into a mush.
Reduce heat to low and cover. To cook onions and also not turn them into French onion soup.
When it is time to eat, serve the fake spaghetti AKA onions, on a plate and top with Alfredo and Italian sausage.
Or just throw them away and have a cheese sandwich and a can of Campbells chicken soup…

Before FEMA instructed its staff to deny hurricane relief to Trump supporters, the agency bribed a grieving father to shut up about his son’s COVID vaccine death.
Seven months after Ernesto Ramirez Jr. died from vaccine-induced myocarditis, FEMA shamelessly offered his father financial support if he changed the official cause of his son’s death to COVID.
Ernest Sr. firmly responded, “I would never do that. I would definitely never disrespect my son in that way.”
Despite his clear refusal, FEMA persisted in trying to bribe him a second time.
Once again, Ernest Sr. stood his ground, saying, “No, I won’t do that. I’m not gonna lie on a government document for blood money.”
Ernesto Ramirez Jr., described as “the best son a father could ask for,” was just 16 years old when he tragically died within five days after receiving the Pfizer shot in April 2021.
His father, Ernest Sr. (

I posted in here a while ago how my phone was showing the correct time but insisted it was Monday, when the other electronics said Wednesday.
I have a really boring story about a NICU nurse who I no longer have contact with who told me about an incident a ventilator that was saying every thing was fine and baby turning blue.
Moral of story, do not trust the electronical things totally.

Yeah, I think it is funny too. But I was also thinking about how much we rely on electronic devices to give us accurate information.
To make the big clock on the home screen tell me what day it really was I had to disable, uninstall and re-install the widget.
Imagine an automated IV drug injection thingy programmed to deliver a measured dose of a drug at a pre determined time and it ain’t even got a clue as to what day it is?
@ Possum:
And a boring post.
Climate control computers in pig and chicken and turkey raising places are quite complicated to program.
Baby piggies need warmth when they are babies but as they grow older they need less supplemental heat. You program a growth curve into the controller that gradually on a day to day basis reduces the heating.
Same with chickens and turkeys, as day old chicks you need about 98F in there, as they grow that temp is reduced as they grow more feathers…
Control computer takes a shit and you have to know how old the piggies or chickens are to re-calibrate new controller.
However, if a controller does not take a fatal shit but forgets what day it is on the curve then there is serious loss of life.

Another boring post. Living alone is OK. Nobody to piss off and nobody pisses me off.
The food thing is difficult, cooking for one without leaving a mountain of left overs is a challenge.
Sharing a bed, living alone then nobody steals the blankies. Well a couple of felines try.
Being sick, and this is not the kind of really serious medical issues other people here may be going through or have gone through.
Scratchy throat Sunday, scratchy throat Monday and a continuous waterfall of snot. Monday night disturbed sleep due to chest pains.
Woke up this morning coughing up slugs. Yeah, I got a common cold. Where I got it from is a mystery, I don’t have much contact with humans.
Point is, living alone is OK. But when sickness strikes it would be nice if someone made me eat a bowl of chicken soup.
@ eaglesoars:
It is the administrative overhead that is stupid.
Send everyone over 65 a 300 GBP check for heating. Simples…
Look into every one over 65 finances and then decide how much of the 300 they deserve?
How much does the administration of that cost?

Is a max range for a missile of 190 miles considered ‘long range’?
@ eaglesoars:
Depends on your perspective.
Havana ( Cuba ) to Miami is 200 miles.
Dover, coast of England to Paris is 163 miles.
Sometimes a long range missile of only 190 miles is long enough.

here we go
Guido pointed out last week that the plethora of reports calling for Agricultural Property Relief annd other “loopholes” on farms to be scrapped were actually written by one man. Arun Advani, director of CenTax, is aided by co-director Andy Summers in pushing for higher taxes across the board. The Treasury admitted to Guido last week that Advani’s research was the intellectual basis of the farm tax…
Last month, in a definitive report on Inheritance Tax for his think tank, Advani states that the cap for Agricultural and Business relief for farms should be set at a miniscule combined £500,000. Half of the measly sum the government has set it at…
In order to prevent excessive fragmentation of farms as a result of that cap, which would reduce productivity, Advani advocates for “the state taking part-ownership of land and becoming the landlord to tenant farmers.” That farmland which went above the cap would presumably be expropriated and rented back to the previous farm owner. Perhaps they could be formed into some kind of large ‘collective’ farms?
To counter-act risks to food security from these extreme measures the farm tax’s architect says state subsidies should be directed towards “specific activities desired e.g. farming particular produce” as a “more appropriate way to ensure that the desired goals were being delivered.” Meanwhile, other gobsmacking proposals include removing IHT relief for funeral expenses and relief on bequests to charities, because that “effectively redirects tax revenues towards the charitable preferences of a very small number of people.” Pure planned-economy thinking…
The Treasury has already admitted Advani’s research has guided it on the farm tax as it currently exists. These proposals could give a taste of things to come, especially if farmers put up too much of a fuss. Things can always get worse…

Instead, I’m just a NORMAL conspiracy theorist, so I think this is just the deep state trying to start WWIII in order to pressure congress into denying Trump the chance to curtail the excesses of the war machine.”

For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,
If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.
Yes..

Mrs. AI tried to drive her car today after 4 weeks away from it. Still on crutches but she is just glad to be mostly pain free… finally……

Per the New York Times, democracy forward is planning the Trump resistance. They have 800 lawyers at 280 organizations, 600 priority legal threats identified and dozens of lawsuits already prepared.
This project to stop Trump is called Democracy 2025. They have spent the last two years working on this.
They have been preparing legislation to challenge every single regulation Donald Trump put forward and they are currently currently in the process of interviewing plaintiffs that will have legal standing.
Prominent members involved in this little project are Marc Elias and Ron Klein, former Chief of Staff to Biden.

That’s happened in a number of cities. Jackson Hole, Wyoming bought a bunch of them that turned out to be basically useless in cold weather (which means about 9 months out of the year there. Then the manufacturer went out of business. The things are basically now worthless.

A boring health post.
Sunday I started to feel unwell. Sore throat and a cough and head full of snot, Monday and Tuesday I felt like shit. It is Wednesday now and I am felling a bit better, I think red wine alcohol kills infections.
Coincidentally, Sunday Natasha developed a cough. Monday and Tuesday she did not eat much and was first into the bed and last out.
Today in the last couple of hours Natasha is active again, eating and going outside to hunt mice.
Was she reflecting what I was doing? Cats are strange. Look on social media for videos of cats limping when their friends have a broken leg. Or cats brought up with dressage horses.
I do not know, did she give me cat flu or did I give her human flu?
Or is Natasha faking it, in sympathy?
@ Possum:
Kitty Covid?
@ poteen:
I actually did one of those 15 minute home covid tests they sent to everyone for free but it was years old and I could not find an expiration date on it.
That came up negative.
However, I have some tests left. Should I test Natasha? It involves sticking a swab up her nose, rotating it five times then sticking it up her other nostril and doing the same to get a sample.
I know what the result will be. When the 911 people arrive then tell them I am A+
Well supper was 4oz sharp cheddar and four eggs seasoned with black pepper and salt cooked in a skillet with half an ounce of coconut oil.
