So once isis is destroyed, these Syrian militants won’t backfire. 18th try is the charm.
That SOF team needs a Lucy with a football patch.
U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
Sounds legit.
And the troops will all come home, right?
The troops are there to prevent Turkey from wiping out the SDF, whom they consider to be Kurdish terrorists. My guess is we will have a few hundred troops in Syria for the foreseeable future.
Using US troops as a buffer in a local dispute. I’d say the “foreseeable future” is an understatement given how that has turned out in Korea and elsewhere.
Unfortunately, that’s what happens when you tell people you won’t abandon them afterwords if they fight our proxy war.
Someone forgot to tell the Hmong that!
True dat. Now many of them are living the good life as refugees in the U.S of A.
Only because Clint Eastwood has a finger gun.
Many, yes, but there are still plenty hiding in the jungles of Laos. Look up on Youtube the documentary “Hunted Like Dogs” (I think…maybe it’s Hunted Like Animals). The Lao military are still executing, raping, etc. the descendants of Hmong “collaborators”.
At least we had the good sense to drop charges against Vang Pao.
We have that same type of history in the Middle East, which is why there are now several hundred troops remaining in Syria.
Bwuh?
Did someone see Bolton’s stash in that Algeria pic? Look a dissatisfied North African country we haven’t destroyed yet.

Yup, DST plus traveling across 4 time zones has me all wonky.
I have a sibling who owns his own business but is in the tank with the likes of AOC or Bernie…I wonder if he thinks his business will be favored when they take over and decide who gets to operate in their new economy…
Of course, and when he finds out otherwise, he will cry out in bewilderment “comrade [whoever-the-fucking-boss-is] must be told what a terrible mistake this is”.
He’s a little person, little people don’t get hurt by Bernie or AOC policies.
Depends on what he’s selling? Caskets? Yep. Ammo? Yep. Etc
Architecture. Damn good one too but he is all in on the shared economy
Is he married? I have a friend who I can talk some sense into depending on whether he’s currently separated from his wife or not.
“I wonder if he thinks his business will be favored when they take over and decide who gets to operate in their new economy…”
I’m not an economist and I don’t have a prize. But, I bet I can help him out with that. Does he have millions of dollars to hire lobbyists to send to DC? No? He’s shit out of luck.
He’ll be the one crying “But it wasn’t supposed to be like this!”
Interesting weekend. Did a 2 day course – Intro to Welding 101 at a local place. Been over 22 years since shop class/Power Mechanics. At the time, our school had traditional arc welding (SMAW I think) and acetylene gas welding/cutting. This is the first time I ever touched a MIG system. I guess I saw folks using them in the shipyard, but didn’t put 2 and 2 together. Pretty easy on the whole. Of course, for a short intro course, I basically just worked on fillet welds – flat and vertical. Made a little box to keep. (the masks and other stuff has certainly changed from my old classes too – these digital, automatic goggles rock (switch between grind, cut, weld with a simple button push)! Made to fit ventilators, etc.
Of course, the main thing is that it reinforced my hopes – that this is a possible career choice that I find appealing and interesting – and challenging – and not a complete turn-off.
Now I need to get in contact with some of the shipyard companies back in Puget Sound and start feeling things out with them. I’ve heard some places say they want to do all the training themselves when it comes to ship work – but other places seem like they’d appreciate you already having some certifications. I’m looking out 18+ months which may make some things awkward….but just kinda the way I roll when it comes to planning a voluntary cross-country move, etc. (Worst case scenario if timelines start getting screwy as the end of my lease approaches, I may try for a short term reserve activation/deployment or something).
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN WELDING ONE. THERE ARE SHORT TERM TOURS AVAILABLE IN THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS… ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
P.S. THIS IS THE UNIFORM. OFFICERS BUY THEIR OWN MASKS.
“OFFICERS BUY THEIR OWN MASKS.”
ZARDOZ, is there a Sgt Major of the Brutals who loves to change the uniforms every five years?
I dunno about that, but I bet there’s one that yells at you about your Vortex gloves if it’s cold out.
Bravo!!!
Nice choice. Welding is something that is never going away. Even automated welders in factories still need to be spot-checked and repaired by a human and probably will be for the foreseeable future.
Yeah…I’m sick of desk work. (Even my last active tour as an instructor I spent most of the day on my feet and supervising) — I’m on a decent contract but I’m dying on my butt right now.
After a year plus in dry dock (total between 2 ships) plus months more pierside maintenance availabilities in just 4 years (2010-2014) – I think I’d like to give it a shot from the civilian worker side (even more fun if I wind up in a reserve billet that lets me inspect the ships post-maintenance ;p).
Good luck. Sounds interesting.
I thought Welding was the process of turning the LP into a gun grabbing and Hillary Clinton praising party.
[Opera clap]
Is Pretty Poison Tuesday Welding?
Bravo!
For my entire adult life there has been an ongoing demand for welders. Supposedly the guys who do underwater welding can command huge bucks as well.
I could never weld with gas but managed to do okay with arc (never got to try the MIG).
BTW, those fancy, dancy goggles were invented for the military to protect pilots from the flash of a nuke (I did the EMP test on them). Before that they issued the pilots an eyepatch. Covering one eye gives you something to look with after the other one is burned out.
Yeah, in our school, it was manual goggles or the mask you had to keep raising and lowering – it’s insanely easy (and hands-free) to have a mask do all the work automatically – even lets you adjust levels, timing, etc. One of the other students was showing me his that has a USB charging port – apparently runs for months on a single charge. Innovation!
Learned how to do the head-flip with a manual helmet.
What wasn’t mentioned about the eyepatch: What happens after the second nuke?
That’s awesome! The first training course I was responsible for, in the AF, was how to install and operate the PLZT windows in the Bone.
Their operating speed (in the something microsecond range) is much faster than a blink.
Not really looking to do it as a career but would love taking a class. Useful skill to have.
I would recommend also learning to weld alloys, Aluminum, Ti, etc. Get experience with all the different equipment – MIG, TIG, etc. If I can recommend some school work get some basic metallurgy courses under your belt so you can speak intelligently about what heat is doing to the materials during your work.
Well….the Apprentice School would be a nice option. Buuuuuttttt it’s in Newport News. Almost any other location would be great…but hell no. Not for 5 years.
The one I’m looking at much more closely is this one. But I need to talk to Vigor directly first to see what the actual hire rate is like right now. Based on my “other” experiences and qualifications, I’m guessing I’m still a good match, but always good to feel things out first.
Agreed. I have been asked many times over the course of my business if I know someone who can weld aluminum. That and stainless steel are two materials that are easy to source for practicing that would greatly increase your marketability.
Picked up the collected, restored blu-ray of Private Snafu. More than worth it. Much better quality than the youtube versions. Although truth be told, I am reminded of certain Glibs from time to time.
The burlesque clips and the [literal] Seussian rhyming scripts are just such a great combination. It’s a real pity we didn’t get more of these guys collaborating on a single project post-war.
I’m less enamored of Frank Tashlin as I watch more of his movies. I recently saw Bachelor Flat, which was *terrible*.
Heard mixed things about him. Picked up “Susan Slept Here” after reading Cinesavants review and it’s definitely a lot of fun.
SSH isn’t bad. Reynolds is her usual chippy self, but I don’t think her and Powell have great chemistry.
What makes that Daily Fail article news? That the non story happened near Ronnie Woods’ home or that the couple were lesbians?
Yes.

Shimon bar Kokhba?
Nebuchadnezzar II?
Vespasian
Ptolemy II?
Yuri Andropov ?
T.S. Lawrence?
Publius Belisarius?

I think the LP should nominate Bill Weld’s cousin Tuesday instead.
Nice try but 2019 Tuesday doesn’t quite look like 1960’s Tuesday. If she did… well, I’d turn in my gun IYKWIM.

I find the ease with which you’d resort to violence very problematic.
Hey, at least he’s not talking about lopping off heads with a katana.
Done correctly, a good ol’ tar and feathering may have been worse.
I would definitely say that being coated in hot tar is worse than getting your head chopped off with a razor sharp sword.
We should try them all.
So, tar and feather and then the katana when we get close to cocktail hour?

“I made a shit-ton of money selling top-notch IT books for decades. Was that wrong?”
Christ, what an asshole.
I think many of their books are way-overpriced.
That’s industry-wide. I buy only on sale and only PDFs. And I will never buy O’Reilly again since they went Kindle-only.
Really, they stopped selling treeware?
They’re all about subscriptions and training now. I’m not even sure they’re releasing any books any more – there’s certainly nothing visible on their site.

Might be out of date, so YMMV. They don’t sell book directly and they went to print on demand (and killed their invaluable lay flat binding).

I’d like a Melania body double, if you know what I mean.
Could you imagine if anybody made up shit like this about Michelle Obama?
I mean imagine if they claimed she was actually a man.
I think the way the media, especially the fashion press, has treated Melania has been unfairly mean-spirited. It’s not her fault Hillary lost.
Please tell me this is just brilliant trolling of the Q-tards.
I’m beginning to think Stacy Abrams has a body double.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1U5W5dWkAAjbDd.jpg
Can there be a copy of Miss Abrams? She’s one of a kind but she is double ugly.
No, she just has a double wide body.
If Trump had a (D) after his name we would never hear the end about Melania the immigrant.
I will just leave this here:
https://www.libertarianism.org/podcasts/liberty-chronicles/was-civil-war-libertarian-moment
This is the same website that likes to post pices about how libertarians shouldn’t support secession, because slave owners did that once.
Yeah, that sites entire schtick seems to be yokel trolling.
The author of this piece posted years back on the libertarian bonafides of iconoclasm, intersectionality and call-out culture.
Though to be fair if you RTFA he is a bit more ambivalent about the Civil War. The gist is that can you really blame 1860s proto-libertarians for prioritizing abolitionism over everything else?
And his latest podcast trashes Seward’s action during the Civil War and the draft.
https://www.libertarianism.org/podcasts/liberty-chronicles/ep-96-sewards-little-bell
Anyway I do find it interesting that in reaction to the perceived neo-Confederate bias of a section of libertarians another section seems at times to go too much into “Lincoln and Grant were Real Top Men!” Which raises many questions about modern libertarianism.
I quickly tire of libertarians trading barbs over the Civil War of all things. Part of the benefit of studying a 150 year old.conflict is that the objective observer doesn’t have to take a side and can understand the motivations of both sides without any need to laud or condemn one side or the other.
^^ MeToo, Bob
Part of the problem is that the Civil War involves slavery, federalism and race all of which are still very hot button issues.
I’d say the problem is that the people who get all huffy use the issues you listed as a chance to signal their virtue and villify those that hold a different opinion. It’s the Nick Gillespie of infighting.
I’ll use the example of Posse Comitatus which was passed after the failure of Reconstruction. Do we want to defend legislation passed by racist segregationists in order to oppose military policing? And if military policing is anti-racist then how can it be so terrible? Was it necessary then but not now? And why is not necessary now? Is there another situation where it might be necessary today or in the future?
The only people using slavery and race as “hot button” issues are lying assholes. Slavery and racism are not controversial.
So Juris imprudent is…?
OK, I’ll be the asshole.
What was Lincoln’s Constitutional power in declaring war over the secessionist States?
It seems to me that secession is a power granted to the States under the Ninth Amendment.
No arguments here. My point is that I have no idea why it’s a point to of contention. Slavery was wrong. The South had every right constitutionally to secede. I can believe both simultaneously and it makes me neither a neo-confederate nor an advocate for federal supremacy.
Two things: 1) Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 and 2) Article IV, Sections 3 and 4 – neither of which are touched by Amendment 9 (or 10).
Additionally, in the context of the time (writing of the Constitution), the Articles of Confederation expressly declared the union, perpetual.
Slavery was so important to the political powers of the South, that they were willing to ignore all other considerations to keep it. Whatever legitimate complaints they may have had about other issues, their irredeemable commitment to the peculiar institution more than offset in the negative.
I would add, in the context of secession, it may have been theoretically possible with the consent of Congress. Just declaring we is all sick of yo asses – not so much.
The clauses you reference deal with rights and conditions of States joining the Union, how do they bar secession?
juris,
Thanks for the reply. This is the first time that anyone has made the counter-argument for me.
I’ll have to digest this, as this is a broadside in my States/Federal divide. Pardon me while I curl up into a fetal position.
Jarflax-
Not quite, which is why I mentioned the specific clauses. (Section 1 of Article IV is about new states). The parts I mentioned relate to what is forbidden to States (including forming alliances, i.e. the Confederacy).
The Bill of Rights didn’t modify ANY aspect of the Constitution – it would be later amendments that would address, specifically, ‘defects’ (11th and 12th) or other things that needed to change for the times (like the 13th, 14th and 15th).
Secession with the consent of Congress may have been feasible, but there is no clear language (outside of that bit) on the States retaining a right to peacefully withdraw. The AoC clearly did NOT allow for that, so it would seem a curious omission if the intent had been to preserve such a right under the Constitution.
You fail to understand the purpose of progressive history – to roll all past, current and future transgressions against goodness [as progress is known to be] and used as a cudgel in whatever tempest is roiling your teapot.
I read an transcript of Tim Sandefur bemoaning how the far-left dominate the scholarship about Reconstruction. Pretty obvious why: they want to show that big Government is good and those who oppose it are either racists and possibly hypocrites as well.

I’ve never had chitlins. My dad used to get them from a soul food place in PG county years ago but he never made them at home.

Also – food as politics. GTFO.
I bought some natural sausage casings one time, and you had to rinse them in water. After that smell that filled up my apartment? Nope nope nope nope. I’ll still eat natural casing sausages, but I’ll let the butcher deal with that smell, and I’m never eating just straight intestines.
I use natural casings all the time. It’s the outside layer of the intestines. Casings are turned inside out and all the nasty stuff is scraped off.
FWIW, I follow the directions of a professional sausage maker. Casing spend four days in the fridge in water, with the water being changed twice a day. Silky, supple, zero aroma.

This. Ms. Wu is deranged.
Saw it yesterday with my nieces. It was meh. Not bad, not good, just meh. The story felt slightly disjointed and certain points just dragged, while it seemed most of the action was shot too tight which sometimes lead to confusion with what was happening. The characters were either bland or too wacky, (Sam Jackson’s Fury has always been the straight man, but all of a sudden in the 21st movie he’s the wacky sidekick?) And they didn’t really explain much, all the information we learned could have been a 10 minute scene in the next movie.

Boy would it ever be a shame of G-d decided to give her excruciating, untreatable, severe cluster headaches. I wouldn’t ever wish something like that on someone of course, but it sure would be a shame if fate dealt her that hand. And she was in so much horrifying, unceasing, unbearable pain that she decided lead poisoning was easier. That would be such. a. shame.
I’d be happier to see her return to her prior profession in disgrace when she’s exposed as a corrupt hypocrite who uses her office to enrich herself. Sadly the media will run interference for her and her supports would gladly nod along if she declared “some animals are more equal than others” on late night.

Wrapping up a home made broth operation. 5 quarts of broth made from vegetable trimmings, chicken trimmings, and the centerpiece is a giant roasted beef rib leftover from dinner on Friday night. Mucho sabroso. It is so delicious as the bade for sauces, gravy, soups, etc.
The wife is in charge of dinner. Looks like giant pork chops and a radicchio salad. Yea!
I now take bones and such and reduce into broth/base, then freeze it into ice cube trays. What an easy and delicious add-on to meals!
When I make broth, I like to take the bones and roast them in the oven at very high heat so that the bits of leftover meat get all brown and crispy. I also save the tops and bottoms of onions and toss them in there as well (that’s actually where most of the flavor compounds are located in the onion).
Looks like it was make a tasty liquid day. I braised beef short ribs and chuck roast. Kept the brazing liquid and frozen.
That’s the way to do it.
egould: thx for the DKFM link. I was unaware.
I have that link on my Desktop; really need to check that out some more.
…
Just checked in – yum! The website is baffling the hell out of me but I luv the music.
I’m in this weird area – The Primitves, Still Corners, Mazzy Star, I at least heard of MS, even if I didn’t hear their music. How did I not hear of the other bands when they were big? I was playing in bands then.
Does that site play older stuff, I wonder?
Every time I’ve been, I’ve only seen a mix of new-ish bands and bands I don’t recognize which I assume are recent.
No idea – I only found out about it from egould 45 minutes ago. Currently listening toThe Church on YouTube. Now – The Cure
To be honest, shoegaze / ethereal stuff doesn’t always click for me, but the Still Corners song does. I’m hoping the DKFM link works out well – gonna send it to my brother, he’s a big Pink Floyd fan.
I lean more towards the jangly/wall-of-sound side of shoegaze myself. “Ethereal”, not so much. But there’s always a touch of that in there.
Yeah, you couldn’t remove it without killing the music.
Agreed, although I have a shameful predilection for hippie music. i.e., I’m currently listening to Can’t Find My Home. I’ve rooted out the worst of it, but the better hippie songs remain in my memory. Blind Faith is, IMO, one of the best ones. Let me get rid of Clapton – including Cream – and I’ll be fine. I have to keep Pink Floyd.
I have a genetic aversion to anything hippie.
I can’t blame you, but I took too much LSD in my youth to rid myself entirely. Psychedelic bands – or those who employ their memes get me to at least listen.
One of the reasons I listen to Monster Magnet.
Also, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Dandy Warhols.
Monster Magnet is far more metal.
All 3 of those bands have obvious psychedelic influences, though. I haven’t tripped in a couple decades, at least. Wondering if I should.
My go-to on acid was They Might Be Giants.
Yeah, couple decades for me too. No particular desire to go there again, actually.
Gotta admit, Ana Ng would be a cool song to hear on acid.
Not sure it’d be worth the other 6 hours.
I’m thinking no. In general, and specifically. Not due to TMBG, though, just in general.
Oh, there are so many. This was probably my favorite. There’s no other explanation for the existence of this song.
I don’t recall which of you Glib miscreants posted the link to a sauerbraten recipe, but that’s what’s cooking now at the Splosives household.
I made the marinade and stashed the meat in it last Sunday, worked at Dugway Proving Ground for a week, and now am back in town to reap the benefits.
It smells great; stay tuned for a review of the finished product.
That would be me. I look forward to your review. It was the first time I’ve made it and it was very tasty and really interesting.
Look forward to a review. And re-post the recipe.
I don’t think I have enough room in my kitchen for all those ingredients. Still considering it for a future project, though.
Marinading in a ziplock bag saves a lot of room in the fridge.
I marinated it right in the Lodge ceramic pot it’s cooking in now. But yeah, a baggie would be fine for the marinading phase.

Julio Payes worked 80 hours a week just to make ends meet. He missed out on time with his close-knit family, with whom he shared a singled room. “I want to buy one hour of your time. How much for one hour to play with me?” his younger brother asked.

Phrasing.
I’d pit the kid and the boss against each other. “I got another offer, he’s willing to pay me $3 more an hour. He’s a real up and comer with a bright future, and he sees the value of my time.”
“I want to buy one hour of your time. How much for one hour to play with me?” his younger brother asked.
Isn’t the answer $15 ?
SPLC promoting child prostitution?
Same as downtown?
20 bucks is 20 bucks.
From a hate group that has over $400M stashed in offshore acccounts. Rusty chainsaws and wood chippers aren’t nearly enough.
These little anecdotes are always bullshit.
Don’t you dare doubt the woke elementary schooler!
That’s really who they want to put front and center? A non-citizen agitating to fuck over others, including citizens?
I bet if the story gets scratched, it would be very interesting. On a work visa from Guatemala? Yet living with him mom and other siblings? That doesn’t sound like a work visa. Nor does working at low skilled minimum wage jobs. He’s working 80 hours a week (which is essentially double the take home pay of someone on minimum working 40 hours or less) but no mention of how many hours his mother is working. I’m sure she’s working just as hard, no? Where’s the father? And does this household receive any government benefits? (My suspicions: mother doesn’t work, collects welfare benefits for the other kids- the lack of mention in the article is the tell).
Poor guy felt like a slave here. Well, he’s the one on the work permit. He’s free to return to Guatamala anytime. I’m sure the minimum wage is better there.

Replying to @splcenter @pattmlatimes
$15 IS NOT A LIVABLE WAGE. In most large cities and suburbs, where about 80% of Americans live, $15 is not subsistence level.”
Sounds like Frank thinks it’s time to push for a higher LW.
Their moto is ‘Rage against change’?
I don’t get it.
And why do leftists always use fiery/violent language?
Never mind.
It’s because they CARE oh damn much. /sighs
They’ve gone down the road where emotions and passion trump logic and reason. Same as much of the Islamic world, which may be part of why they show some level of support for them.
God damn you. I just burned another couple million brain cells reading those comments.
If only someone, say moi, had predicted something like this happening.

Hate to give Goolag the revenue but whaddyagonnado?
Nope. Same thing.
Thanks for the effort tho.
Oh bollocks.
Tit for tat. Thanks to all the sheriffs out there who are going against these unconstitutional measures.
meant to say “Thank you to all the sheriffs”
Hearing those words, bro. Colorado sheriffs took a stand a few years ago. Really showed a difference between the rural, take care of yourself kind of cop and the city cops.
When you look at the different situations that rural vs. city cops face, the rural cop very often has no immediate back up available – they literally have to take care of themselves. No wonder they have little interest in enforcing petty, BS “king’s laws” which only pit them against their citizens.
You mean they actually have to “protect and serve” not “dominate and repress”?
Sheriffs are also elected. Incentives are groovy things.
Got to watch my first AAF football game today. I hope it lasts past this year and gets easier to watch (as far as I know only one game so far has been on a channel I have and that was on before I realized the season had started. Got to watch today because someone was streaming it on youtube.)
I subscribe to FuBo (through Roku) and get almost all the AAF games.
I too hope it lasts. I’m digging it.
Bolt-ons.

Nope.

Yesterday’s(?) tan girl with the bolt-ons looked better. I think they made them just a teensy bit too big/obvious this time.
Yikes. No thanks.
I know…her face is “double bagger territory.
/the tits are aces.
Jesus… it looks like she’s hefting a couple shopping bags of groceries.
Better.

Right. The world needs to be paying more attention to pre-schoolers’ crotches.

Y’know, maybe the death of Western Civilization isn’t so bad.

Finnish government collapses due to cost of universal healthcare. Not as cool as it sounds – just some politicians quit.
My cats didn’t seem to get the message about DST. They’re demanding food based on the sun, the rubes.
My dog already adjusted her Mickey Mouse watch. Not even one day and she’s prompting for her meals at the new times.

Yeah, I’m sure those cops wanted to be there. But the hospital personnel and doctors who called them are totes okay.

‘Ambitious!’ ‘Ground breaking!’ ‘Amazing!’ these are quotes I just made up for the cartoon I’m working on.
‘Not meant as a comment!’
From the comments “She’s the hero our world needs.” Exactly. Love the mom.

Show the full video. Mom comes back later when the daughters are gone and swallows a cucumber on livestream.
I was hoping she used the daughter’s sybian. I am always disappoint.
You can be a Tom Cruise and make a big sceneOr be like Mcgyver and cut it cleanEither way there’s gonna be blood on the floorWhen you tell her that you don’t dig girls anymore

And if Mueller, after two years, comes back and says, ‘I don’t have the evidence to support that charge,’
Right…. Even if he doesn’t have anything, I’ll bet he coats it with enough innuendo and waffling so that no one has to swallow their Russian collusion. Maybe add an extra helping of unrelated things like the Stormy Daniels stuff to show that Trump is guilty of something, even if it’s not criminal.

Okay – no, I shouldn’t advocate psychedelic drug use, and I won’t be using any. And I mean that. (I couldn’t find any if I wanted to, anyway)
Note: For any watching government agency, I’m only using government approved drugs: e.g.; liquor. So I’m going to go throw up now. Yay!
