Good morning before the next front Hamsters. Leaning mugly and breezy and 65 at 6 with clouds moving in from the south. Feels like rain ahead of this next front.
Sorry for the Texans losing in the thin air of Mexico City, though that was just as hard on the Raiders. Also sorry for the Packers losing again on Sunday. Many injuries to their offensive line have taken a toll. -
Yesterday’s report smuggled out of Trump Tower about the media princes and princesses being told precisely how they behave by the President-Elect made lots of folks stand up and cheer. Of course they will lick their wounds and plot how to get even with whatever they have to make up. The more they continue their obsequious mendacious ways propping up the lefties, the more ordinary folks despise them. And the less they buy their wares. All comes down to the pocketbook that depends on readers and viewers. Rainbows and unicorns are not legal tender at the grocery store or anywhere else.

The electoral college was a brilliant idea then as it is now. This forces the POTUS to be a president of all the states not just the 4 in the O/C pic. The problem I have now is the almost certainty of electors being bribed and/or threatened to change their votes. I just heard on the radio of one elector for the state of Texas, a guy named Hickman, stating that he has gotten 9600 emails since this weekend urging him to change his vote to Cankles. We can be assured that this is happening all over the country in the states where Trump won. The vote of the electoral college should never take place in reality; the numbers of elector-votes from each state should stand and be official as soon as the state is declared.

The left wants to get rid of the electoral college, so what better way than to pull off a demonstration that it is corrupt (just like everything else the Clintons touch). If they can turn just one, that sets the precedent and they can then move on to telling others that there is no problem. These electors have only one job, that is to carry the vote of the people to the electoral college. They are not being asked to make any decisions or perform any other duties. As is so often the case in politics, whether it be a position in the HOA or the US government, once the are selected, some of them start thinking they have some sort of power or authority over others. Until there is a penalty imposed on politicians of all stripes for failing to represent the wishes of their constituents, it will continue. Tar, feathers?

#4 EG: My point perzactly. Because the humans can be corrupted, and 535 or whatever it is is a much smaller number than the millions of voters, they are ripe, low hanging fruit for those with the means and propensity to corrupt – like the vile George Soros. Until we can restore the integrity to the population (reversing the trend set (or dramatically accelerated) by Slick Willie) we must take steps to guard the process. Further, the penalty for bribing/threatening an elector should be death by hanging. Unless and until the penalty for corrupting politicians and others outweighs the benefits, it will continue.

HEADLINE: Aliens are everywhere, says Ivy League professor
Alien life is behind the mysteries of the universe, according to a radical new theory.
Ancient non-human lifeforms morphed into the physical world and are the driving force behind mind-boggling quantum physics and phenomena like dark matter, according to a Columbia University astrophysicist.
The expert says our universe is the remains of intelligent alien life which controls all aspects of the physical world — from gravity to the speed of light.Time for the men in the white coats and butterfly nets to come a calling.

How does one fix this problem?
Russia is known for great authors, cold winters and, unfortunately, nuclear disasters. Now, it’s on track to becoming known for radioactive water, and it’s all thanks to Lake Karachay. Located in the Ural Mountains, it’s also not far from the large, leaky Mayak Production Association, which just happened to once produce plutonium. In addition, Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 got dumped in there as well, a radioactive mix made further worse by the Kyshtym nuclear containment disaster in 1957 and the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Because of all this, the lake is said to be more concrete than water, not that anyone can find out for sure. Standing by the lake for about an hour exposes anyone to a lethal dose of radiation, making this probably the deadliest place on the planet. It’s definitely not the best vacation spot.
Note that it did not say in the water but just standing by the shore for an hour will kill you.

This really offs me with urine.
HEADLINE: Trump won’t pursue charges against Clinton
I guess one strategy would be that he could hang this over her and her supporters heads to make them stop the BS. It could also make it easier to negotiate with the Ds by extending this olive branch. That being said, it is still a slap in the face of Justice.
-
#8 Ms. Adee: There are other bodies of “water” that are pretty nasty as well, some with a ph of over 11. That particular one struck me as interesting because just one hour standing near it will give a lethal dose of radiation. I guess that is where Gozirra is going to come from.

This is not enough. Senator Hinojosa needs to pressured to either amend his bill or withdraw it and resubmit a much better version.
AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 18, 2016) – A bill filed for the 2017 legislative session would modestly reform Texas asset forfeiture laws and close a federal loophole that allows law enforcement to avoid state restrictions on the practice.
Sen. Juan Hinojosa (D-Dist. 20) filed Senate Bill 156 (SB156) on Nov. 14. The legislation would make it more difficult for the state to win asset forfeiture cases by raising the burden of proof the state has to meet from “a preponderance of the evidence” to “clear and convincing evidence” that the asset was linked to criminal activity. The new law would still allow police to seize assets without a criminal conviction.
While the reform is somewhat modest, it would represent a step forward and set the stage for more substantive reforms in the future.The federal loophole is closed with this legislation but only for proceeds valued at less than $50,000. Nonsense – private property is private property.

I ran a fever from yesterday afternoon to the wee hours of the morning. I forced myself to take a cup of chicken broth and one of my rolls around 7 last night, but I felt like it just sat in my stomach for the longest time; at least I didn’t puke again. That was all I ate yesterday, along with some ginger ale Hubby brought home for me. I tried to get comfortable all night.
My body is so confused this morning. Eat, or don’t eat? Sleep, or don’t sleep? I feel so foggy. I managed to eat some scrambled eggs this morning but I couldn’t tell if I really wanted to. I’m nibbling on an Atkins bar. I can’t tell if my stomach hurts from no food or from throwing up.
I’m not expecting much of myself today. -

Something must be going around in the teenage and younger crowd about now. When the weather finally turns to fall all sorts of germs dance around as we spend more time indoors in public places. The exposure will get worse with the madness of the Christmas shopping season. And unfortunately lots of it can’t be avoided.
Keep the Pepto handy for the season. -

At least a dozen officials who were part of the negotiating team that conducted talks with the west regarding the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program were arrested by Iranian authorities on espionage charges, Channel 2 citing an Iranian member of parliament reported Friday.
This story is all over the Arab press. Not a peep out of the US media that I’ve seen. I believe this is a ruse by the mullahs to claim the whole agreement was rigged by the CIA and they don’t have to abide by it anymore. -
I’ve got my shopping list ready to head to Randall’s. Hope it’s not a madhouse already!

Adee – I’m not the only one to get a stomach virus recently. A friend of mine got it from her grandson, who got it from another kid at daycare.
Virus du jour.
I laid down for a bit, trying to reboot my system. My dang phone kept ringing… -
The rule of law and the understanding of just how things are seem to be grounds for suspension:
HEADLINE: S.A. judge under fire for telling new citizens they can accept Trump or ‘go to another country’
A federal judge under fire for reportedly telling newly sworn-in U.S. citizens last week that Donald Trump is “your president, and if you don’t like that, you need to go to another country,” was suspended Monday from overseeing further citizenship ceremonies.I applaud what the judge said, too bad it is the lefty moonbats that are raising a stink. This is in San Antonio.

The Strange History of Steve Bannon and the Biosphere 2 Experiment

#20 Shannon from your link:
Two of the original eight researchers staged a mutiny from outside when they heard Bannon was back. “They opened doors and broke glass seals, letting outside air into the dome,” the Chicago Tribune reported in 1994. “In no way was it sabotage,” said Abigail Alling, one of the researchers. “It was my responsibility.”
The whole point of the study was to see if a sealed environment could support human life, breaking the seal ruined the experiment. It was nothing but sabotage from a whiner.

I don’t understand what they’re doing making any kind of comment at this point.
It is my understanding that the foundation investigation is ongoing.
Just shut up already, Donald. -

Rockwell painting on 1944 election fetches $6.5 million.
NEW YORK (AP) — A painting by Norman Rockwell that depicts the undecided voter sentiment during the 1944 presidential election — much like the 2016 race — has sold for $6.5 million at an auction of American art in New York.
“Which One? (Undecided; Man in Voting Booth)” shows a man standing in a voting booth clutching a newspaper while pondering the choice between Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Republican Thomas E. Dewey. -

Ditto. What wonderful introspection so well expressed. -
Another story about the faithless electors. These libs simply will not stop at reason.

This is a series of tables and graphs that measure welfare and crime by race: white, black, hispanic and Asian. The blacks and hispanics are much less well behaved and self sufficient than whites.

Murderous slimebucketSuspect In San Antonio Police Killing Was Angry Over Custody Battles
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) – A 31-year-old man suspected in the ambush killing of a police detective in Texas has apologized to the officer’s family and said he “lashed out” in anger after several custody battles.
Otis McKane was arrested on Monday for the killing of 50-year-old Benjamin Marconi, a 20-year veteran of the San Antonio force who was gunned down as he sat in his squad car outside the department’s headquarters.
As he was escorted by officers outside the building late on Monday, McKane told reporters he had been involved in several custody battles.
“I just want to see my son … The situation I was in, I lashed out at somebody who didn’t deserve it,” he said, without saying directly that he killed Marconi.
Asked by reporters whether he had any message for the slain officer’s relatives, McKane replied: “I’m sorry.”
The detective was shot twice in the head as he wrote a traffic ticket on Sunday morning. Authorities said the assailant stopped his car behind Marconi’s vehicle, walked up and shot the detective through the window, police said.That is a confession, plain and simple. Now the job is to quickly execute this POS and stop his theft of oxygen.

Well, since Donald Trump appears to have done thumbs down on going after Hildebeast for her serious misdeeds that flirted with treason, he has not ruled out Bill nor any of her enablers connected with DOS or the Clinton Foundation for their misdeeds in her behalf.
He might also be aware by now of her true medical situation and the nature and depth of her illness. It would look very bad to go after someone who is genuinely seriously ill. Just the kind of thing Democrats would do and did a few decades ago.
The comments by several respected neurologists regarding Hildebeast likely having advancing Parkinson’s can’t be dismissed easily. That is a fatal disease and a miserable one along the way. -
Y’all remember dowjones25k who changed to 4k after the 2008 crash? Looks like his original nom de plume may have been correct.

Tuesday, comedian Ellen DeGeneres was supposed to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but when she arrived at the White House, they wouldn’t let her in. The reason ? She forgot her photo identification…
DeGeneres Tweeted:

Preteens and teens may have mastered the use of social media — to eerie proficiency — but they reportedly have trouble sorting out reputable news sources. The Wall Street Journal details a Stanford University study, which found that approximately 82 percent of middle-schoolers couldn’t tell the difference between real news and fake news.
The latest study, which polled 7,804 students from middle school through college, shows how teens evaluate their news. The Journal found that students would judge “the credibility of newsy tweets based on how much detail they contained or whether a large photo was attached, rather than on the source.” The findings would be startling if they weren’t true, as it was reported fake news on Facebook actually outperformed real news outlets during the election. Facebook and Google have altered their policies weed out fake news from their sites, but a number of these content producers use loopholes, such as deceptive advertising, to still get the posts published. -

I’ve been doing business online with Penzey’s Spices for 17 years and was one the first customers through the door at their store in the Heights.
Tipped off by Her Highness about something on Facebook, I started doing some research and discovered Bill Penzey is a raving moonbatsh*t crazy asshat who fought Scott Walker and conservatives in Wisconsin and regards anyone who voted for Trump (or supports him) as a racist, humanity hating subhuman. It seems he’s been harassing his customers with his condescending political invective quite steadily.
So Rod Dreher was in the same boat with me and he was contacted by Penzey’s sister who has a competing company.
