#1 I am not surprised Melania is keeping her dress very conservative. If she were to dress like Michelle, she would get blow back from the press and they would start disparaging her modeling career… again!
-
Dang, y’all snuck while I was over yonder.
As I said earlier, it is a nice brisk 50 this morning and today is my last day at work until after Thanksgiving.

I guess ol’ Jim Acosta doesn’t realize the root of his own last name.
ac·cost
/əˈkôst,əˈkäst/Submit
verb
past tense: accosted; past participle: accosted
approach and address (someone) boldly or aggressively.I wonder how often Sanders or Trump will call on him from now on out. I would actually love to see Acosta make an a$$ of himself again. Then instead of waiting to have his credentials taken at the gate, have the Secret Service take them away on live TV and then escorted out.

Melania & Michelle 😀

Democrats won back the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections thanks to strong gains among the rich. What many pundits have described as a Republican rout in the suburbs is nothing less than the party’s sharp decline among the wealthiest American households.
Imagine all 435 House districts lined up from richest to poorest according to their 2017 median household income (the latest available data from the Census Bureau), Silicon Valley (CA-18) at one end and South Bronx (NY-15) at the other. Before the 2018 midterms, the richest 15 percent of districts was fairly evenly split between Democrats (38) and Republicans (28), but no more. Sixteen of the thirty-seven seats (so far) flipped by the Democrats are in this strata. In the new 116th Congress, these wealthiest sixty-six districts will be represented by fifty-four Democrats and just ten Republicans (with two races yet to be decided). Starting January 3, 2019, twenty (twenty-one if Katie Porter’s lead in CA-45 holds) of the twenty-two richest districts will be represented by Democrats.

Texpat, if you see a young girl on crutches accompanied by a young Hispanic man in NYC say hi. That would be my daughter and her boyfriend.
She slipped on the ice several times in MO last week and twisted/sprained something. Unfortunately for her she is visiting the Big Apple this week to meet her boyfriend’s parents. Unfortunate that she is on crutches… I’m sure she is happy to meet his parents.

#4 TexMo, What really bothers me is that the judge who decided to let the jackass back in the White House had no jurisdiction to do so. The White House has the right to eject anyone from the news conference or have none in the future. I just wish that when he made an ass out of himself, the Secret Service would have thrown him out. The President was full within his rights to eject him for being rude and disrespectful to the young lady and the rest of the reporters. ~SPITS~

#6 linky no worky?

Texpat, did you finish the construction job? You must like living on the edge, I gotta’ give you credit for tackling the job and working down to the wire, me, if I think a job will take two weeks, I allow four,….Murphy’s Law, doncha’ know. 😉

This whole legal scam by CNN to get Acosta’s press pass reinstated will blow up in their faces. There have only been traditional norms of behavior and civility in the past at briefings. With a few exceptions, most members of the press were reasonable and behaved like adults. Things could get a little rowdy, but everyone understood that was part of the game.
Now you have a federal judge effectively mandating the White House press office write and publish an entire code of rules and regulations for the behavior of members of the media along with punishments, penalties, lists of infractions, guidelines for due process, avenues for appeal, etc, etc. This episode has handed Sarah Huckabee Sanders and President Trump more power than they ever had.
The other members of the news media will not long forget it was Acosta and CNN that made their lives miserable at the White House as they’re treated like inmates at Juvenile Hall.

Unless they come across the river into Jersey, I won’t see them. NYC has become so miserable to drive in I don’t go as often as I used to.
We went to the Sunday Brunch at the Union League Club Sunday before last for Her Highness’ birthday. Compounding the traffic was the Veterans’ Day parade, which is huge in NYC. Even though it was Sunday, it took us 90 minutes to drive maybe 13 miles.
Good luck to your daughter and beau.

I finished the project Saturday evening. It turned out even nicer than I thought it would. I also replaced all the recessed lighting with LEDs. I was designing everything on the fly because I wasn’t sure what I would find when I started opening the wall and ceiling. There was time to spare when I began, but 5 days of rain and a freak snowstorm screwed everything up.

Hubby and I were planning on spending Sunday with my fave cousin, who lives in Huntington (near Lufkin). This girl was able to make me laugh during the worst of the Harpy crisis, and she gave me an open invitation to visit her and her mom any time. I really, really, really enjoy spending time with them. It was through my aunt’s stories that I learned my mother was a happy party girl early in the marriage. That wasn’t the mother I knew; it made me both happy to know that she once had joie de vivre, and sad that she lost it. I’ve always loved East Texas, and I’ve been promised a pontoon boat ride on Lake Sam Rayburn, as long as I give ’em at least one days’ notice.
It looks like I’ll be making a run to Bryan this weekend to look over a tenant situation. Hubby reminded me last night that….I may want to go from Bryan to Huntington, since I’ll be halfway there already. I’m very excited about that prospect, and I need to notify Fave Cousin that if the offer is still open, I’d love to come and spend the night. That’ll give me more time with them. Maybe even a boat ride.

I know that distracting a horse helps in certain situations, but I’ve never seen this. It makes sense though if you’ve ever been around horses.

I wonder if it would work on kids at the barber shop?

Cows in the chute?

I wonder if it works on wives while shoe shopping?

Won’t be seeing y’all again till after thanksgiving. So lemme say Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you all.

#15 TP: This could well make it into the tool box of Speedway Stables.

It is pretty easy to see who the criminals and anti-socials are in this video.
hint: They are wearing masks.

I saw that video yesterday. I was getting more annoyed by her antics, and it was a beautiful thing to see her suddenly grabbed by four or five cops and swallowed up by the crowd as they dragged her away.
It reminded me of some midieval fantasy where the bad guy gets swallowed by a creature and dragged under water to his demise.

‘As a side bar, I won a hand held, VHF radio from the League City store’ I think that store is the happy hunting grounds for local beauties. Would make sense given the clientele. Over the years I have noticed stunning young ladies working there who grow a large ring and disappear.

#15 – wow amazing!

A 9th circuit court Kenyan appointed federal judge just ruled the president can only shake his wanker 3 times after urinating and he can only use his right hand to shake it.

OK.
There’s “cheating” and then there’s cheating.

Simone O’Broin is a notorious, infamous nasty b!tch with a law license from the UK. She devotes her time to hating Jews, hating Israel, enabling Arab terrorists, waging lawfare for the PLO and Hamas and promoting the BDS movement against Israel wherever she can.
On Saturday of last week, O’Broin was on a flight from Mumbai to London, drunk on her a$$ and berating the flight crew. She assaulted a flight attendant because they wouldn’t give her anymore wine. And she was arrested on landing in London. These are the haters of the Left.
Two NSFW videos by other passengers here.
WARNING: This woman has the mouth of a gutter crawling imbecile.

They are killing their own offspring. Because some “women” don’t have vaginas…
YPSILANTI, MI – Eastern Michigan University’s Women’s Resource Center will no longer host productions of “The Vagina Monologues,” noting that the play’s version of feminism excludes some women.
The WRC announced its decision in an email, which came after the center evaluated responses from a survey. Survey respondents opposing the production consistently indicated they were concerned that the play centers on cisgender women, that the play’s version of feminism excludes some women, including trans women, and that overall, “The Vagina Monologue” lacks diversity and inclusion.
Modifying the script to the play written by Eve Ensler is not an option, due to copyright laws, the WRC stated.

Yes can you pass me the dumplings and that bowl of reality.

It seems a lot of people think oil and gas come flying out of the ground and magically arrive at homes and gas stations unassisted. It doesn’t help when your prime minister thinks he’s a unicorn.
Oil is worth nothing if you can’t get it to a refinery and consumption point. If the oil has to be transported via train (see Warren Buffet’s portfolio) it costs as much as $20 a barrel versus pipeline fees of well less than $5.
The price of Western Canadian Select closed at $13.46 US a barrel on Thursday. Meanwhile, the American benchmark price, West Texas Intermediate, closed at $56.49 US.
“We need to work very, very quickly to address it,” Notley said. “We’re going to have conversations and discussions with all the players about the most effective way to move forward.”
Notley suggested there would be some answers “within weeks and perhaps sooner.”
Canadian oilsands player calls for government to mandate production cuts
The province has been pushing Ottawa to support more crude-by-rail shipments. Last week, the province sent a written business case to the federal government on a proposed strategy. -
The new rEgressive mantra.
That’s your truth not my truth.
Your rights end where my rights begin.The Hell?
Nice knowing you America.

So lemme say Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you all.
And to you and yours!

Make America the 80s again.

Squawk, enjoy those hot dogs and fries. Happy Thanksgiving.

#30 I think the markets will correct themselves soon enough. If a refiner can process the heavy stuff, the market is going to dictate that they buy the cheapest supply available, if they can, in order to gain an additional $40 on their crack spread.
-
$40 on their crack spread.
There’s a foul joke in there somewhere.

Good morning, everyone.
Now this is pathetic. I typed in the above sentence at about 10 a.m., but didn’t post it or get back to this screen until just now.
So I’ll say good afternoon, everyone.

Heavy crude refineries in Canada are running at capacity or are down for repairs or maintenance. Huge quantities of oil are stranded in the fields up there because they don’t have a way to get it out of there. Trudeau and the all the Leftists in Canada have blocked new pipeline construction. They need to expand the Trans-Mountain pipeline from 300,000 BPD to 900,000 BPD, but local governments and courts may block it forever.
I don’t know how a market can equalize under those conditions.

#35, 39: There are times when free market Capitalism fails, that is when Governmental entitites get in the way.

I’ve thought for a while now that the US would eventually break up into 2 countries, that unfortunately cannot be contiguous. So there might be more than 2. -
Hi, lonely little #42.

Ya… y’know train transportation is SO much safer that pipeline transportation.

Well, I have finished watching Teh Moobie trilogy. Here’s my biased review:
I – Nothing fantastic, but ok.
II – Pretty good.
III – Not bad enough to be good with the MST3K treatment, just bad enough to be just plain bad. Irredeemably cheesy.The most annoying thing was the complete cast replacement in every movie. What the heck?
Note: this moobie review is not Sarge authorized 😉
-
I would say the only time free market capitalism fails is when it really isn’t free market capitalism.
-
I wish I had Paulie K’s number. I’d like to get his take on the markets reaction since election night 2018, when Klantifa took over the House, compared to his election night 2016 prediction that the markets would tank and never recover.

Government pulling all the Romaine again.
Bummer. -
Time for the tailgate rant, again.
I’m really getting tired of these stupid women tailgaters.
That is all.

Well the speed limit is 50 not 25 grandpa.

Got his nose glasses on trying to read his phone..

One of my coworkers was out that way last week and the dude in front of him was poking along and swerving all over. When he finally got around him the guy had breakfast sitting on his console and was eating and driving.

Well just got the travel trailer set up our neighbor friends are so gracious to lend us while our old home is moved out and new one put in. I have to rig up electric to it and still not completely decided on how to handle septic. We have until Sunday to be out of this one then our six week to two month journey living in an RV begins, oh boy. I can endure anything but the other half, we will see. 😀
Never moved out of a house but not go anywhere, very strange.

He said he noticed there were no grits on the styrofoam box/plate.

It’s a keeper. Better than the original.

I drive over 2500 miles a month. You think I drive slow?
-
Slower than a girl, apparently. 😛 😛
-
Ha!

I’m watching game wardens in action on a reality show on Animal Planet.
Dang, they’re more bada$$ than I thought. They run down druggers, handle guys with guns and bad attitudes….
-
I’d really be interested to know what the “The Moobie” might be because I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
-
For the record, Shannon drives just like our father – between 25 and 35 all day long.

Atlas Shrugged. It was all the rage here about seven or eight years ago. I’m glad I never paid to see them.
