    Funny, I was watching Fox News last night and the topic was all the idiots jumping into the ring to run against Trump and they showed a couple of folks that had just announced, a white gal and a white guy and I didn’t recognize either one of them. My wife asked why so many were running, especially so many that NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF, and I simply said “delusions of grandeur”. In their little bubble of a world they think that they are special and that everyone in the country just adores them,….well except those evil, knuckle dragging troglodytes that cling to their guns, god and family.

    My #2, Does anyone know how a congress critter becomes a news spokesman on the tube? Does the Democrat party send out a list of approved loudmouths, when they send their weekly talking points? The reason I ask is that before Trump was elected I’d never heard of bug eyed, pencil necked, Adam Schiff or no lips, Eric Swalwell, let alone ever seen them. Then all of a sudden, they became the Trump colluded with RUSSIA, conspiracy theorists and were on all the lame stream media channels all the time.
    With them, I don’t think that they were picked by the party, I think that the talking heads were looking for anyone that would promote that narrative and these two clowns showed up every Sunday and played their record, and their record never changed, facts be damned.

    From yesterday, El Gordo

    Well, it turned out to be potato soup. I found some chunks of ham in the freezer and a bit of cheddar cheese, and via the instant pot, pretty good potato soup happened.

    That’s the time, tater soup with ham N cheddar cheese is some fine eating. My wife loves my tater soup.
    I do have a question though, did you cook it about 20 minutes? I say that because it is so easy to over cook the taters. I dice up the taters and stir-fry them with onions while my white sauce is thickening up, I add them to the soup at the last minute so they’ll be firm, not mushy.

    If you missed it, you need to go back and read Shannon’s #68, yesterday. It is unbelievable and I RTWDT. One thing did grab my attention;

    Since 2015, the Fitz had lacked a quartermaster chief petty officer, a crucial leader who helps safely navigate a warship and trains its sailors — a shortcoming known to both the destroyer’s squadron and Navy officials in the United States, Fort wrote.

    My instant pot tater soup. I had diced a ham into 1″ squares the last time I found one on sale and had several containers in the freezer to be used as necessary. So, I pulled out a container of frozen ham, put it in the pot with about 1/2 cup water, and set it to pressure up for 5 minutes. I then released the steam and added the fairly large chunks of tater, drained off some of the excess water, and pressured it up for 4 minutes. Now those time do not include the time the pot is actually pressuring up, only the time after it has reached full pressure. Meanwhile, I was heating the roux in a sauce pan on the stove while whisking it with a wire whisk the entire time to prevent sticking and scorching.

    Once the taters completed their 4 minutes, I depressurized again, poured in the roux, added milk, and turned the pot to saute. Don’t know exactly how long it took for the mix to thicken, not too long, and I continued to stir it constantly with a wooden spoon. Probably don’t save much time in the pressure pot, but by the time it’s all done, only 1 sauce pan and 1 pot to wash. Soup has been store for future use, but tater soup does not freeze well, so I’ll finish it up fairly quickly.

    Still experimenting with cooking times in the pressure pot, but about 4 minutes under pressure seems about right for diced taters, whether for soup or for smashing up. But don’t let them sit there once the time is up – depressurize immediately.

    While I smoke Cuban Cigars from Cuba you too can smoke a fine “Cuban” cigar legally if you are worried about the feds knocking on your door and harshing your mellow.

    Macanudos, originally a cigar made in Cuba, after the embargo between the US and Cuba, licensed the name and imported Cuban seed first to Jamaica and then the Dominican Republic.

    Likewise, Cohibas are made in Cuba and as a registered brand from General Cigars in the Dominican Republic, The latter cigar is made from Cuban seed stocks and is the one Amricans can purchase.

    So now that you armed with this knowledge take your happy self to your local upscale cigar store and tell them you want a Dominican Republic General Cigar Cohiba. On your next trip to europe you can purchase unbanded Cuban cigars from the Duty Free shops. For a small fee you can purchase the band separately put it on your cigar and astound your friends and neighbors.

    Sorry El Gordo but where you live I think you may be stuck with Swisher Sweets and Moonshine Crooks.

    I always heard that the secret ingredient in hand rolled Cuban cigars is that the native female cigar leaf rollers used their thighs to roll them. Is this true? As to what kind of cigars might be available out here in the sticks, let me just say that you might be surprised at what sort of imports might show up at the local unattended airport some nights. Back in my day we were pretty hip if we could import Coors beers – nodays, it’s no holds barred.

    BTW, I used to like the Moonshine Crooks in between plugs of W. N. Tinsley chewing tobacco.

    Not sure about the rolling techniques of Cuban ladies but that is an intriguing thought. I did my high school days in Abilene. Abilene was “dry” back then yet outside of town was Impact Texas. 12 acres of the richest land in all of Texas that had 2 liquor warehouses one of which doubled as a store and a convenience store. Amazing what could be bought in that place . It was much like your unattended airport. Talk about your hidden in plain sight debauchery. Abilene had more churches than gas stations in the day and Impact was Sodom. I never developed a taste ofr chewing tobacco. I tried once, man I got so dizzy I could fell my eyes turning green. Probably good thing I had not been drinking. One try was enough for me.

    Recently, we’ve only turned on the floor for 3-5 hours, in the evening. Not even every night. I turn it on late afternoon, and turn it off before I go to sleep. It throws off enough heat to keep us comfortable well into the next day, and the house is insulated well enough that the heat from the floor and our appliances really doesn’t require us to run the boiler much.

    I have a feeling that boiler is gonna run all weekend. Hubby will be here while I’m in Dallas, and he isn’t as tuned into the turn on/off cycles as I am; and it will be pretty darn cold. I guess I should leave him a note, reminding him to turn it off at least once over the weekend…

    Irony is officially dead. It was murdered today by Bobby Rush.

    Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois was the sole lawmaker to oppose the measure, saying the House should take the more serious step of censuring King for his “repugnant and racist behavior.”

    Any measure short of censure is “shallow,” Rush said. “Steve King has made a career of making racist statements. That is the only thing he is known for and this pattern of rabid racism must be confronted head on by the House of Representatives.”

    I think the rEgressive supremacy of the Newspeak Media of the Mobs, Hollyweird and the rEgresisvecrat party is the biggest threat to freedom and the pursuit of liberty and happiness.

    rEgressiveism is also the biggest promoter of violence towards their fellow man.

    In one of my early lives I worked in the nursery business which is rife with queers and lesbos. At one point I worked at Cornelius’ high end retail outlet on Dairy Ashford near I-10. I managed the nursery stock department with a middle aged woman who enjoyed the high end scenery as much as I did.

    Fighting with her over who helped out certain customers probably strained the bounds of dignity.

    I presume you were a young man when you worked for Cornelius Nurseries. That middle aged woman must of been trying to rob the cradle.

    BTW, Back in 2002 I purchased two drake elm trees from Cornelius and planted them in my back yard. One survived and the other blew over in a storm a few years later. The one that survived eventually had a little baby seedling that popped up in almost the original location of the tree that blew over. I now have two drake elm trees once again.

He said Sterling was ready to mount machine guns at intersections and start mowing down the old people to save the national budget.

    I told him I had enough knowledge about Cornelius to doubt he would do that and he admitted Sterling might only take out half the old folks.

    Aaaannnndddd…Crenshaw for the win!

    Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) asked Monday to have his congressional salary withheld during the partial government shutdown. When one of his Democratic colleagues criticized the gesture, he used her own words to point out the hypocrisy of her position.

    Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) called Crenshaw out on Twitter:

    “We aren’t paid until Feb 1st, so no pay to withhold now,” Omar wrote. “Vote to reopen the government like we did & give hardworking Fed employees their paychecks. That’s caring! Stop this virtue signaling Congressman, the American people need this to end now, not Feb. 1st.”

    Crenshaw responded by redirecting Omar’s message toward her fellow Democrats who had also asked for their pay to be withheld. [emphasis mine]

    “To my Democrat colleagues who are also (rightfully) withholding your pay during the shutdown—your colleague @IlhanMN would prefer you stop virtue signaling and end the shutdown,” Crenshaw wrote. “Can we have a serious discussion about border security now? That’d be great.”
