Happy St. Patrick’s Day on which everybody is Irish, at least in a pub/bar/private club/back yard. Let the green beer flow.

Just from the headlines we can surmise that the firing of Mr. McCabe (with well-deserved prejudice, obviously) is causing great disturbance in the Democrat Force.
Wailing, gnashing of teeth, rending of garments aplenty, much of which is certainly fueled by fear that he’s only the first one of their allies to be booted, never mind indicted.
Pass the popcorn.

Not sure what the weather is up to.

Super Dave
The weather service is rather vague in the forecast, though some areas not all that far to the NE seem to be likely to have T-storms with hail, possibly sliding down toward the Houston area—or not. Meaning keep an eye on things.

I may have said this before, but even I am amazed and the breadth and depth of the corrupt state of affairs in DC, and particularly in the law enforcement agencies. When the Dems start squealing about Trump firing law enforcement officials, you know the corruption is oozing up to the surface. And all of this just for hiliary? There must be more to it than that. Anyway, according to Twitchy, McCabe will be over at the Obamacare booth today filling out forms if you would like to talk with him. Have a good one.

I just read the story about the 13 y.o. boy in Dickinson who rescued people in his apartment complex which was flooded by Hurricane Harvey. He helped people get out of their 1st floor apartments, then floated them on an air mattress to the stairs to a 2nd floor apartment where displaced people were gathering. Considering that several of his rescues were disabled, this kid saved lives that night. Anyway, he got this Citizen Hero award.

We have reported extensively on the violent communist militia group, Red Guards Austin. This far-left extremist group openly praises a dictator who butchered millions of people, openly advocates for armed “revolutionary violence”, and is actively recruiting students via their campus organizing arm, Revolutionary Student Front.

I hope that it’s not too early to go ahead and put fertilizer out on the lawn since that’s what I’ve been doing this morning. Better than spreading fertilizer here on the couch I guess.

A dying society looks like this…
Every aging society faces distinct challenges. But Japan, with the world’s oldest population (27.3 percent of its citizens are 65 or older, almost twice the share in the U.S.), has been dealing with one it didn’t foresee: senior crime. Complaints and arrests involving elderly people, and women in particular, are taking place at rates above those of any other demographic group. Almost 1 in 5 women in Japanese prisons is a senior. Their crimes are usually minor—9 in 10 senior women who’ve been convicted were found guilty of shoplifting.
and,
In 2016, Japan’s parliament passed a law aiming to ensure that recidivist seniors get support from the country’s welfare and social-service systems. Since then, prosecutor’s offices and prisons have worked closely with government agencies to get senior offenders the assistance they need. But the problems that lead these women to seek the relative comfort of jail lie beyond the system’s reach.

Left to people like this woman, this society would die too…
Brigitte Adams caused a sensation four years ago when she appeared on the cover of Bloomberg Businessweek under the headline, “Freeze your eggs, Free your career.” She was single and blond, a Vassar graduate who spoke fluent Italian, and was working in tech marketing for a number of prestigious companies. Her story was one of empowerment, how a new fertility procedure was giving women more choices, as the magazine noted provocatively, “in the quest to have it all.”
Adams remembers feeling a wonderful sense of freedom after she froze her eggs in her late 30s, despite the $19,000 cost. Her plan was to work a few more years, find a great guy to marry and still have a house full of her own children.
Things didn’t turn out the way she hoped.
In early 2017, with her 45th birthday looming and no sign of Mr. Right, she decided to start a family on her own. She excitedly unfroze the 11 eggs she had stored and selected a sperm donor.

And you think our society is not headed to the grave?
Brigitte Adams is but one of an example of the symptoms of self and selfishness that is rotting this country from the inside.
We have already slipped off the slippery slope and are headed headlong to destruction. Our country still sanctions killing babies, we do not have control of our borders, people are no longer just Americans, nope we live in the age of hyphens, we are split politically, the rule of law is split between the elites and the rest of us, the basic family unit has been torn down, good is bad, wrong is right and God? Well he is just some myth found is antique books we do not need to read.
Men are lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
Our best days are long since behind us and I am not looking forward to the future to come.
Have a nice day.

“I questioned, ‘Why me?’ ‘What did I do wrong?’ ”
Is that a rhetorical question or is she just dumb as a rock?
This would be funny if not so very sad, I’d say that she was so selfish that even if she had a million, good frozen eggs, she’d not get pregnant because the good Lord wouldn’t let her. AND, she doesn’t understand this and NEVER will. SPITS~

We can take a bit of comfort in that McAbe got fired and will likely lose his pension. He is also prolly in jeopardy of jail time. There are many others in his position and, hopefully, many more will face his same fate. Others will “man up” and start cooperating and some big fish will go down. This could be the first step to draining the cesspool that is DC.

Twenty Two!!!!
Where is everyone?…Oh, out enjoying this fine weather. I repaired the gate hinge on the deck, fixed the latch on the high fence around the banana trees and replaced the valve assemblies in the guest bathroom. Then I got bored and got the Beast out and took Lil’ Bit for a ride through the neighborhood. That reminds me, I really need to change the oil in that thang. I would go ahead and do that but I like to use Kawasaki H/P oil and I don’t want to drive all the way down to get it.
Did I ever tell y’a that life is good? 😀 -
Oh, note to self, iffin’ you turn off the hot water under the sink and remove the valve assembly, don’t,….I mean, don’t turn on the cold water!! 😀
I can’t believe that I did that! -

It’s my lucky day. I decided to spread fertilizer on my lawn this morning. This evening, along came a thunder shower which dropped just enough to soak the soil pretty good but not so much as to create a bunch of runoff. Look out lawnmower, you’re going to have to work overtime this spring to keep up with the grass now. In other news, I discovered no leaks in the new roof that was just installed either. Lastly, I checked Amazon for replacement fertilizer. It’s now $30 something a bag – the stuff I put out today I got last year for $7.50 per bag. I guess EPA has gotten hold of them or something.

Ah, but we are The Remnant, my friend, as Isaiah said,
Isaiah had been very willing to take on the job — in fact, he had asked for it — but the prospect put a new face on the situation. It raised the obvious question: Why, if all that were so — if the enterprise were to be a failure from the start — was there any sense in starting it? “Ah,” the Lord said, “you do not get the point. There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about. They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and meanwhile, your preaching will reassure them and keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant, so be off now and set about it.”

Dan Crenshaw, our Patriot Pirate real conservative candidate to replace the retiring Ted Poe, made it to the runoff May 22 for the Pubbie nomination. He needs help in his campaign for the runoff, financial and/or in kind. No matter where you live, inside or outside District 2 you can support him. I just did again. 🙂 Crenshaw for Congress, P. O.

I keep seeing McCabe claiming that his firing has something to do with Mueller’s investigation. But Rosenstein is running Mueller, so what has McCabe got to do with that? Nothing that I can see. Mueller, Comey, and now McCabe are all running to sleep under the same tent. Every time they let another one in, it dilutes and diminishes Mueller’s profile. How many more of these scalawags can he afford to have riding on his train?

I spent the day getting all hot and sweaty with a man I love.
Handsome Son and I spent several hours clearing out
MIL’shis garage. All that time and sweat, and we only reorganized part of one wall. The woman never threw away a thing. We found what ended up being a whole bin of trash bags and plastic sheeting. It seemed that any time she needed another yard bag, she bought a new box, forgetting that she already had a supply somewhere in the garage. Broom handles, mops with not much of a head left on ’em, multiple floor sweepers and scrubbers. There was an old sharpshooter that had an old-fashioned all-metal handle. Hubby said he couldn’t use it for safety reasons – hit a utility line and whomever was holding the tool would be dead. Tossed into the dumpster. And the fasteners! Boxes of screws, nails, nuts, and bolts!Paint. New paint. Old paint. Aerosol and can paint. Stain. Some of it I’ll have to take to a proper depository. Along with some of the household chemicals that are so old that they’ve separated. And there are multiple milk crates of cleaners that she must’ve bought in bulk to save money…and forgot she had ’em.
It will take us years to work through some of the supplies, even with all of our rental properties.
Handsome Son felt good, though, that we’d taken strides in reorganizing and clearing out some of the stuff.
That was good because the consignment shop decided not to take the items they originally said they’d take. Now I have a houseful of furniture to get rid of. Hubby and I talked about donating it and taking the charitable deduction.
Hubby was beyond wissed.

I love the OC pic. I want it hanging on my wall.
Even on a phone, if you zoom in just a little bit, you’re there. -
BTW – If y’all know of anyone looking for some furniture, here are some items on my list of “get rid of”:
*4 different armoires: varying sizes. One is matched to a full size bed frame; matching carvings.
*Living room set: medium dark green, 3 seat couch, loveseat, overstuffed lounge chair with ottoman. Barely used. Great condition and very comfortable.
*Table made from a very large tree stump, on casters, thank goodness
*Glass top dining table: 4′ circle of glass sitting on an iron base
*Four dining chairs with handcrafted needlework seats
*Serving table, rolling, with removable tray insert
*Another rolling serving table
*Wall table, about 6′ long
*Another table, about 4′ long, about 2′ wide
* A “swing shelf” side table. Two layers of shelves, the top is split in half and one half will swing down just over the bottom shelf and the top slides over, reducing the width to half of the original size. Pretty cool.
* A drop leaf table, with an insertable leaf. It used to be MIL’s dining room table
* an art deco type of floor lampWell, that’ll get things started anyway.

The nation’s moviegoers look to be turning out in bigger numbers for a Christian-themed independent film than for the first mainstream teen movie with a gay main character. Roadside Attractions-Lionsgate’s “I Can Only Imagine,” based on the story of the biggest-selling Christian song of all time, is looking at an estimated $15 million for the weekend from 1,629 locations, far outdoing earlier estimates of $2 million-$8 million.
Meanwhile, Fox’s “Love, Simon” is garnering attention for featuring a love story centering on a teenage boy coming out, and is looking at a $12 million-plus weekend on 800 more screens than the faith-based opener.

Good morning Hamsters. Presume any St. Patrick’s Day hangovers that lingered into today will dissolve quickly, including of course a corned beef and cabbage overload.
Sadly, U of H lost by one point last night. At least they won the first game. Yea for the Texas teams that advanced to the next round. The Badgers’ basketball season was so dismal they didn’t rate an invitation to the tournament.

Microaggression #ME TOO Alert !
All albums, music by and references to legendary blues artist, John Lee Hooker, are now banned from public view !
Here’s a twist on the debate over public monuments to problematic figures like Confederate leaders: A Massachusetts state lawmaker wants to censor references to a man who scored Civil War era wins against the Confederacy. Her reasoning? That man’s name is Joseph Hooker.
As we’re all aware, General Hooker’s last name became slang for “someone who has sex for money.” Today, “hooker” is widely considered a slur by folks in the sex-work community. Yet as far as I’m aware, there have’t been any sex worker campaigns to remove references to Joseph Hooker from public view—presumably because most well-adjusted people realize that words have different meanings in different contexts.

Women’s March collapses on itself in entirely predictable episode of gimcrackery and bigotry.
The Women’s March — a civil-rights group at the center of protests against the Trump presidency — is losing top staffers and supporters over its leadership’s refusal to denounce a racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic rant by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
The latest to jump ship is high-profile staffer Alyssa Klein, who quit last week as the group’s social-media director.
Klein called Farrakhan “a dangerous troll,” and tweeted on March 5 that Women’s March leaders are “turning a blind eye to the hate spoken about a group of people.”

One source of the windfall, according to a new book from Peter Schweizer, was a 2008 gift from Chao’s father, James Chao, for somewhere between $5 million and $25 million. But this gift could be seen as more than just a gift.
and,
As Schweizer tells it, the Chao family fortune derives from the Foremost Group, a shipping company that Chinese native James Chao, a classmate of former Chinese president Jiang Zemin at Jiao Tong University, founded in New York in 1964. Chao remains Foremost’s chairman today, and his daughters Angela and Christine are the company’s deputy chairwoman and general counsel, respectively. Elaine Chao worked there in the 1970s, and has been quoted as saying, “Shipping is our family tradition.”
and,
When Senator McConnell — who took hardline positions against China prior to his marriage — met with high-ranking Chinese officials in 1994, it was not in his capacity as senator, but via a personal invitation from the CSSC arranged by James Chao. McConnell met with Zemin, then the country’s president, and vice-premiere Li Lanqing. After this meeting, McConnell “would increasingly avoid public criticism of China.” More meetings like it would follow in the years to come.
“As the Chaos and the Chinese government went into business together, the Chaos-McConnells tied their economic fate to the good fortunes of Beijing,” Schweizer writes. “Were McConnell to critique Beijing aggressively or support policies damaging to Chinese interests, Beijing could severely damage the family’s economic fortunes.”

If my back wasn’t in such bad shape, I’d go to this Monday night.
“There is a rape culture on college campuses that creates an unsafe environment for female students.”
That’s the resolution that will be debated at the next Reason-Soho Forum debate, which takes place in New York City on Monday, March 19.
Co-founded and moderated by Gene Epstein, the Soho Forum is “a monthly debate series that features topics of special interest to libertarians, and the series aims to enhance social and professional ties within the NYC libertarian community.”

I know this will come as a huge shock to El Gordo.
In 2014, the GAO released a report that was highly critical of how DOT handled the TIGER V grants, which included money for the FIU pedestrian bridge project. The report said DOT advanced projects with lower technical ratings in lieu of those with higher technical ratings and upgraded the technical rating of 19 projects from acceptable or recommended to highly recommended without documenting a justification. It is unclear from the GAO report whether the FIU bridge project was advanced over more qualified projects or if its technical rating was subsequently upgraded, since the report does not give project-by-project detail.
TIGER, which Reason has covered here, here and here, was created as an economic stimulus measure under President Barack Obama and morphed into a permanent program. It has awarded $5.6 billion in nine rounds of grants since 2009.
A 2012 report from the Reason Foundation, which publishes this website, found that 40 percent of the grants in the first two TIGER rounds went to districts represented by Republicans on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The four highest-ranking Democrats on the same committee each received at least one TIGER grant.

Here’s the ridiculousness of New York City. I live about 7 miles west of Manhattan. If I want to go to something in the city….
Reason/Soho Forum Debate – $12
Toll for George Washington Bridge – $12
Parking in Manhattan – $40*So it costs, more or less, $52 to go to a $12 event.
*In the evening, I’ve paid anywhere from $15 to $65 to park in Manhattan. It’s the luck of the draw.

It looks like Texpat has loaded us up with required reading. 😀 -
#57 – I read the Reason article, and the first thing that comes to mind is that this TIGER scam is merely a replacement for the old earmarks programs. Appears that the funds greased skids on both sides of the aisle without any serious adult supervision. First thing that came to my mind is why that bridge was needed in the first place since all the snowflakes have to do to cross is go to the light and wait for it to change color, but that may be asking a little too much from today’s snowflake. Aesthetics seemed to be the priority, since it was to be a very pretty bridge. It was wind proof, self-cleaning, graffiti resistant, had mood lighting, space age engineering and construction techniques, and everything else imaginable, except for calculations concerning gravity. It’s sad yet comical when reading the dignitaries comments about it – they are all true except not in the sense they were uttered. So will they put up a new bridge, or will they accept the premise that God does not want that bridge. Was its true intent to export crime from the town to the school or vice versa. We will never know I guess. But the Dems don’t care, just keep sending money their way.
-
I’ve not had time to look into the bridge collapse but so far, I’d say that what the construction company did is down right criminal. Any High school kid good at math could have told them if it was structurally sound, let alone a Jr Engineer.
-
Perhaps the fallout from the bridge tragedy will shut down that giveaway program.
-
#62 – You obviously don’t understand government logic. Government logic says that no matter how ridiculous, poorly conceived, poorly executed, unnecessary, unsafe, unsound, and overall worthless the program may be, it’s eventual failure will be the result of simply not having enough money. Voila, funding will be increased, the program will continue unabated wreaking havoc throughout the land, and when it fails again, it will be blamed on lack of funds. That’s how it works unfortunately.
#61 – But it was going to be pretty, a landmark. No body ever said anything about it being structurally sound – that wasn’t in the bid package.

Maywood to Manhattan roundtrip with Uber is about $90.
The cheapest way if I feel like walking 16 blocks and the weather is halfway decent:
I can drive down to Weehauken on the Hudson and take the ferry to 34th street terminal and then take one of their free buses downtown. It would get me within about 8 long blocks from Bleecker Street.
Ferry RT ticket: $21
Ferry Parking: $12
Total w/ $12 event ticket: $45 -

Looking too much like rain today, so I decided against starting a mow that could be interrupted. Raked up some old dirty leaves from the driveway and patio, got them crammed into big plastic birdseed bags, for disposal in the trash roller bin. Pulled some weeds front and back yards, then trimmed dead leaves off my banana crop. The biggest stalk from last year had frozen through to the center and had to be removed. Another stalk from the same underground corm looks like it may be alive way inside. And a new sprout from the edge of the corm has unfurled its first leaf. So, 2 hours of good wholesome exercise and fresh air, that’s my idea of a good use of my time.

My yard work kilt tha’ blog???

Not quite kilt it. Just catching up on the latest posts after spending a few hours putting out Easter/Spring decorations in the house.
Spouse had a Eureka moment late this morning in at last tracking down his paternal grandmother’s grandmother born in Norway in 1821. Her name is carved on the outside of a painted and decorated humpback trunk with the destination being “Edgerton Wisconsin North America”. It bears several important dates, as when it was made in 1763 noted in the highly decorative iron bindings just below the huge lock and padlock, and several later dates of her ancestors who owned the trunk before her.
It is made of solid oak planks and weighs roughly 100 lbs empty. We presume it made the voyage with her to America and the trip to Wisconsin. It was in spouse’s paternal grandmother’s farmhouse attic near Edgerton where he and his brother discovered it as the family was emptying the house after the grandmother died and the farm was sold. We brought it to our home in Texas almost 30 years ago.
It needs to go to the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison. Accomplishing that is my next big project.

Fascinating, interesting article. I think it’s strange that anyone is shocked or surprised that these go on. The OMG, can you believe this tone of the article is a little silly and presumptuous about their sinister discoveries.
Billions of people go online and freely divulge all kinds of personal information about themselves, their professions, skills, tastes in food, political opinions, preferences about clothes, vehicles, etc. and then expect no one is going to collect that information and use it for their purposes.
Really ?
Frankly, I’d be seriously shocked if it didn’t happen. All the hand wringing about manipulating public opinions in elections has always happened. It’s just on steroids now. The US and Russia have been at it since Stalin. China joined the game in the 60s and the oil state Islamic sheikhs are doing it with mosques and media machinations.
Ben Franklin wrote and had printed up fake American newspapers in France and distributed them to all the key power brokers in Paris and the French government in the 1770s. The false stories were about the British troops torturing and murdering women and children in The Colonies. Fake news and opinion manipulation colonial style.
This Guardian article focused on the projects of Bannon, Mercer and others. I’d love to see what the Left is up to these days. It was the Obama campaigns that were the real pioneers in the electoral data game.

I wrote this in my #10 comment Friday.
Now that public schools are turning out graduates who can’t begin to perform at college levels and the higher education industry has reduced the humanities to re-education camps for authoritarian trainees a la the Red Guard, there’s no reason to pretend anymore our universities aren’t being reduced to overpriced vocational schools. Antonio Gramsci preached the “cultural hegemony” of turning our institutions into brainwashing institutes for the Marxist working classes and that’s what they’ve done.
And Steve Hayward posts this yesterday on Powerline in The Higher Education Crackup Begins,
I’ve been predicting, most recently in a lecture last month at Arizona State University that I’ll post up as a podcast at some point soon, that universities would soon begin to divide into two entities—the STEM fields and related practical subjects (i.e., business and economics), and the social sciences and humanities, which would start to shrivel under the weight of the degradations the left has inflicted over the last 40 years. The number of students majoring in the humanities has declined by two-thirds since around 1980.
plus,
I think we’re already seeing the beginnings of a de facto divorce of universities, in which the STEM fields and other “practical” disciplines essentially split off from the humanities and social sciences, not to mention the more politicized departments.
At this rate eventually many of our leading research universities will bifurcate into marginal fever swamps of radicalism whose majors will be unfit for employment at Starbucks, and a larger campus dedicated to science and technology education.

Whereas Fusion GPS was created by three former Wall Street Journal reporters with links to the U.S. intelligence community, Hakluyt — with offices in London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney — was founded by an enterprising trio of former British intelligence operatives with deep connections throughout the world’s official and corporate corridors of power and influence.
Hakluyt is described by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s Henry Williams as “one of the more secretive firms within the corporate investigations world” and as “a retirement home for ex-MI6 [British foreign intelligence] officers, but it now also recruits from the worlds of management consultancy and banking … ”

4 basic setups for the AR-15 from Shooting Illustrated.
In my more than 20 years of teaching MSR users and consulting with police departments and SWAT teams on the selection of their equipment, I have developed a set of recommendations for basic configurations. These serve as a good starting point for defensive MSRs, while allowing for adding capabilities to the carbine as your resources or needs expand. I have labeled these four basic configurations by “type” simply to keep them straight in my head. Please keep in mind I come at this from a “working gun” perspective, and all of these types are built around that view.

Spouse says he’s already taken pictures of it in anticipation of sending them to the Wisconsin Historical Society to whet their enthusiasm to accept it. Will have him send them to my computer so I can forward them to Hamster headquarters.
Presuming the powers that be do want it, and they are nuts if they don’t, spouse will have to build a crate for it to travel in. He has practice in crate building for my antique carousel horse that traveled to New Mexico to a restorer and carousel horse authority and back home. Said horse was built between 1902 and 1905 according to the expert. I got him for Christmas when I was 8 years old. That is a tale for another time.
