    About the OC picture, we now live an the era where almost any history/facts can be looked up instantly. All the guys at work, with their fancy phones can stop, punch up the internet and find information on the spot. So, why is the current generation the dumbest yet? They are so easily fooled by all the puppet masters. I guess that they have zero curiosity and seem to be incapable of any logical thought. 🙁

    Morning gang. Bright and sunny here in Big D. I can happily report that all the aholes who are from Dallas are still here, they haven’t left. Armadillos will play in the playoff tonight, so I’ll listen on the internet radio. This internet thing is really something. Listening to hometown football on the hometown radio with a signal wattage about like that of a light bulb is a real piece of Americana that probably can’t survive much longer. There are not real big on specifics and statistics and stuff like that – just look at him run, etc. Have a great day you all.

    Creepy Porn Lawyer, Avenatti, (BIRM) is back in the news again after he is arrested for domestic violence.

    HEADLINE: WATCH: Avenatti Speaks After Arrest For Suspected Felony Domestic Violence
    /snip
    “I wish to thank the hard working men and woman of the LAPD for their professionalism, they were only doing their jobs in light of the completely bogus allegations against me,” Avenatti said. “I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night. Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation. I look forward to being fully exonerated.”

    The ironic irony is really ironic, ain’t it?

    Hey unca Shanny.

    When you watched TJ Hooker in the 80s did you still think of William Shatner as Captain Kirk or did you think of him as TJ Hooker?

    And when you watch reruns of Star Trek do you think of Shatner as Captain Kirk or do you think of him as TJ Hooker?

    And also, when watching Matlock in the 90s did you think of Andy Griffith as Matlock or did you still think of him as Sheriff Andy Taylor?

    And when watching reruns of The Andy Griffith Show do you think of him as Sheriff Andy Taylor or do you now think of him as Matlock?

    My construction project is over budget (there really wasn’t one) and past deadline. Her Highness is freaking out over the drywall dust even though I’ve warned her for years whenever she nagged me about getting this done. The clock is ticking like a timebomb for Thanksgiving. Cooking starts Monday and it will take all weekend to get the dust out of this house.

    Here’s a photo of half the wall I rebuilt (click to enlarge), installed new framing, jacked up the roof, added a 4″x10″x14′ header beam and then trimmed it out in pine.

    We had another 28 this morning, quite crisp even after sunup. Have made it to 57 thus far with a light and variable breeze wafting through the trees. Spouse took advantage of the weather and healthily moist green pasture grass to burn the large pile of tree branches and leaves stacked out in the burn space in the side pasture.

    Can’t pass up good weather days as we haver winter weather patterns lurking and a prediction of a colder than usual winter that’s already moved in with two mornings at 28 degrees. Heaven help us if this winter is wet as well as cold as some previous ones have been. Messy, very messy they were.

    I’m fair at drywall. My helper is much better, but we’re working on a 15 foot vaulted ceiling and having to repair a lot of tape joints that were never done right in the first place.

    I don’t have pix, but I remember 15 cent burgers at Burger Chef in Midland when I was in jr high. They gave you a plate with meat and a bun, and you went to the condiment table to dress your own with mustard, tomato slices, onion slices and lettuce leaves. Also remember that lots of people I knew in Midland were not familiar with the word chef, and called it Burger Chief.

    And a country without borders is not a country.

    Trump is failing on immigration when he lets one federal judge stymie him when said judge has no legal authority to do so.

    Not only are the GooPs stupid and ineffective but they also hire the stupidest lawyers in the country that have no idea how to judge shop like the rEgressivecrats do.

    Here is number eight US Code 1182, inadmissible aliens. This law was written in 1952. It was passed by a Democrat controlled Congress, House and Senate, and signed by a Democrat president.

    Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president. Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

  43. Bonecrusher Avatar
    Bonecrusher

    #45 Phil: Trump should read that out-loud during a press conference and then state emphatically that the judge who said no is completely out of line and that judge should study on what The Constitution actually states. Then Trump could and should state that all immigration into the US is on a case by case basis only.

    About stainless steel, as a general rule a magnet will not stick to it. @ work we use grade 8 bolts for the shaker expander heads and stainless steel washers. On the large expanders the holes that the bolts go in might be a foot deep so we use magnetic pick-up sticks to get the bolts out but not the washers. Well, it used to be that way, but with our new Snap On, magnetic sticks, with the rare earth magnets, we can pick up the washers. Apparently they have trace amounts of ferrous material that is just enough to pick them up.

    Hillary Must Answer Key Email Questions, Federal Judge Orders
    Democrat needs to come clean with the American people about secrets she’s hidden for years
    By Mark Tapscott | Thursday, November 15, 2018

    A federal judge ordered former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to answer five questions she has avoided for years about her use of a private email server to conduct official U.S. diplomatic business.

    U.S. District Court Judge Emmett Sullivan on Wednesday gave Clinton 30 days to respond under oath to five questions.

    These questions were all put to her nearly four years ago in a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit government watchdog Judicial Watch.

    The five questions are:

    1.) Who decided to create the clintonemail.com system?

    2.) When was it created?

    3.) Why was it created?

    4.) Who set it up?

    5.) When did it become operational?

    The Democratic nominee who lost the 2016 election to Republican President Donald Trump — and who has begun to tease a possible new run for the presidency — has steadfastly refused to answer those and many more questions about why she used a secret email server, instead of the legally required government system during her tenure as the chief U.S. diplomat.

    Clinton could be subject to contempt of court charges if she refuses to comply with Sullivan’s order or felony charges if she answers the questions but then provides false information on those matters.

    Izzit actually possible that Hillary! will finally be held to account for her criminal deeds?
    Will it be like a Holloween redux with all the skeletons coming out of the closet?
    Will there be a rash of suicides of prominent, pertinent witnesses?
    Will she suddenly become “too ill” to answer the questions?

    This is like a really bad soap opera.

    Can you explain why if there is SOME kind of legitimate count allowing the gubernatorial race to be called, why not so in the other two races???

    If the vote counts are within 0.5% a machine recount is mandatory. If it’s within 0.25% a manual recount is mandatory. DeSantis was ahead of Black Bernie by 0.41% so they did a machine recount. It changed by one vote so no manual recount for that race.

    Scott started out ahead of Nelson by 0.15% and it didn’t change enough to get him above 0.25% so now they will manually recount the votes where there were discrepancies to try and determine “voter intent”, basically the ones that did not record a vote for that race when run through the machine. I heard there were about 55,000 of those statewide.

  77. Hamous Avatar

    The feckless Broward County missed the deadline to submit their recount numbers by 2 minutes so their original count gets used. Why do you reckon they missed the deadline by two minutes? Scott actually gained about 800 votes in the recount.

    You won’t think about Andy Griffith again the same way. Of course, if you know anything about Griffith’s hard left politics that may also influence your opinion.

    84 footnote

    Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg, both Jews, testified before Joe McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee about the American Communist Party activities and affiliations of their Hollywood colleagues and were basically banned for the rest of their lives from the film industry.

    March, 1999:

    Hollywood still isn’t sure whether it’s ready to forgive Elia Kazan. In an appearance that was considerably less dramatic than the controversy leading up to Sunday’s Academy Awards, the 89-year film titan received a mixed reaction as he took the stage to receive his honorary Oscar at the 71st annual Academy Awards ceremony.

    Demonstrators had noisily protested the acclaimed director’s lifetime achievement award outside the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion earlier in the day, urging Oscar-goers to sit on their hands during Kazan’s appearance. According to eyewitnesses at the ceremony, many in the audience stood and applauded, but an almost equal number stayed seated and did not applaud.

    Television cameras caught Warren Beatty, Helen Hunt and Meryl Streep standing and applauding. Steven Spielberg remained seated, although he applauded; actors Nick Nolte, Ed Harris and Amy Madigan made a point of staying in their seats and not applauding.

    These nauseating, pompous jackasses. Remember these…

    Yes. Yes Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy was most prescient and most reviled by the lefties for being so and not retreating before their vile slanders during and after his Senate hearings. And as it turned out some years later, he was right on about it and vindicated. Despite the lefties and media trying to bury that vindication to this day, I might add. A patriot indeed.
