Thursday Beautiful Open Comments

I just love this song. When I’m having a bad day, when I feel beat down, when I’m sad, when life seems to be frustrating me….I pull up music like this.

We’re all beautiful, we’re all loved.

“You are more than what is hurting you tonight” – there are days that this one phrase makes a huge difference.

I may have shared this with y’all before, but the sentiment hasn’t changed. I see you all as beautiful. And sacred. God bless y’all.

As a bonus, here’s Lauren Daigle. What a voice.

    Schumer Goes Down in Flames on First Day of Impeachment Trial.

    The impeachment of President Donald Trump is underway in the Senate.

    It was a long day that came to an end after 13 hours.

    There were a number of amendments introduced, debated and voted on during that timeframe.

    Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his party were on the losing side when final votes were totaled.

    Four amendments were put forth throughout the day by Democrats that would have altered the rules resolution to require the administration to turn over the documents sought, The Hill reported.
    With the GOP holding the majority in the upper chamber, all four amendments were tabled in a 53-47 party-line vote.
    Overall, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s rules package was adopted by the same margin.

    From #99 last night. I too have a difficult time dealing with high overpasses now days. Back in the good old days, I would drive those things at 70mph with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other and steer with my knee which talking up a storm and paying no attention, but not so these days – it’s the double death grip on the wheel now. I’ve got no idea what changed to cause that. And very limited night driving – oncoming LED lights plus the ever present deer hazard have just about taken me off the road at night. Speaking of which, I’ve got a fluorescent light fixture in my kitchen that is about ready to be converted to LEDs. I converted the other one about a year ago and decided to wait until the bulbs burned out in this one, which I’d down to one lighted bulb out of 4, so it’s time. The ballast comes out and the LEDs use different sockets. The new sockets are direct wired to the power, so no more ballasts, and the bulbs are supposed to last forever, or at least until they become the next owner’s problem. I might be able to get up on the kitchen table to work on this project, but chairs and/or ladders are out of the equation. Dam vertigo.

    OK, you all have a great day. No need to report on the impeachment trial as it will most likely be same song, 98th time around. More later.

    I had the tube on the local station to get the weather and when the national news came on, with the little Greek Midget, I flipped it over to Fox to see whose Legs we had on today. Then I made the mistake of flipping it over to the two Sad Blisters, they were showing a poll with Doomberg @ 9%, heading to double digits after spending a quarter of a billion dollars, and said that this was about where Donald Trump was in 2015 and he was much more well known. Then the pseudo male, the one with the big hair and Librarian Lady Glasses actually said; “Yes he’s another billionaire with business experience, who ran the largest city in the country, but unlike Trump he knows how to get things done”!?!?…..REALLY???

    Let’s see, Trump has instituted polices that lower taxes for everyone, did away with many onerous regulations that stymied production. Pushed the unemployment rate to it’s lowest in 50 years, helping the Blacks and Hispanics the most, and raised wages for the blue collar worker. Brought thousands of manufacturing jobs back to the US, appointed two Supreme Court Judges that believe in the Constitution, not the “How We Feeling Today” Libturd leftist, ideals,….the list goes on, so you and the rest of your Communist, buddies, in your Star Chamber, keep it up and see who’ll be President in 2021…

    This mini-rantis a work in progress, so it may not be entirely coherent but rather a collection of thoughts rattling around in my brain trying to organize themselves into a rational message. The fundamental question is “who is really in charge of the Senate?” The Reps claim to be in charge, but they are all dancing to the Dems tune. The Dem controlled House passes an impeachment resolution, and the Senate is obligated to drop everything it is doing and take up the Dem resolution – I’d say that is the Dems controlling the agenda. Then the Senate leaders feel the need to negotiate some sort of deal wherein the Dems in the Senate can waste a day on amendments to a proposed set of rules. The WH and Presidential counsels are sitting there arguing the rules and the proposed amendments on behalf of the Senators, who are supposedly in charge of such things. Even though the amendments were all eventually voted down, just the fact that the lawyers representing the defendant (the President) are arguing Senate rules tells you that someone other than the Senators (and presumably the Rep Senators) are calling the tunes.

    Then, through some sort of rules coming from somewhere, all Senators are expected to be present, leave their electronic devices (whatever those are) at home, and sit there like deaf mutes for hours on end while some vile, fat azzed, schiff stained, short bag of human excrement stands up there and calls them all names, accuses them of being accomplices to treason, and derides them mercilessly while knowing that they are nothing more than knots on a log and unable (or unwilling) to respond. I voted for my Senators (well at least one of them) to go to the Senate and speak for me, loudly and often, and not be subjected to abuse from political opponents in any form or fashion. Yet there they sit, taking it all in, silent as little lambs, So my question is, who is really in charge of the Senate.

    I want my Senators to have the freedom to speak their mind, and the ability to roam freely about the grounds. Now they probably should be penned up at night, but I do not want them penned up and held hostage to the mercy of the evil Dems all day, but they are allowing themselves to be treated that way. By Gosh, they are elected representatives of we the People and if they can treat our Senators this way, what’s to prevent them from treating us all this way. It’s time for some Senators to stand up to this and bark back. This is no time for decorum. The coup is ongoing, and our side is still just sitting there taking incoming and not responding. Our Rep majority is letting the Dems run roughshod over them, and in their effort to appear to be gentlemen, our guys are just taking it. So who is really in charge of the Senate. Looks to me like the Dems are having their way with our elected majority. My $.02.

    Because…..SCIENCE!

    Two medical researchers, including one who claims to be a “pro-choice” pain expert, assert recent investigations strongly suggest unborn babies who are aborted prior to the 24-week legal limit that exists in Britain could be experiencing pain as they are being terminated.

    “Overall, the evidence, and a balanced reading of that evidence, points towards an immediate and unreflective pain experience mediated by the developing function of the nervous system from as early as 12 weeks,” the authors conclude.

    “And as the authors note, ‘the mere experience of pain…is morally significant,’” Prentice added. “Science again points to the humanity of the unborn.”

    Drag queen calls out “woke” parents.

    Demure talked about how many kids experiment with dressing up in the clothes of the opposite sex when they’re young. “But to actually get them involved in drag is extremely, extremely irresponsible on your part.”

    “I understand you might want to look like you’re ‘with it,’ that you’re ‘cool,’ ‘that you’re ‘woke,’ that you’re ‘not a Nazi,’ that you’re not a ‘homophobe,’” continued Demure.

    “But you can raise your child to be just a normal, regular, everyday child without including them in gay, sexual things,” emphasized Demure.

    “Honestly, you’re not doing the gay community any favors. In fact, you’re hurting us,” noted Demure. “We have already had a reputation of being pedophiles and being perverts and deviants. We don’t need you to bring your children around.”

    “So keep your kids at home, or take them to Disneyland, or Chuck E. Cheese, but if you need your child to be entertained by a big human in a costume or in makeup, take him to the circus or something.”

    Demure explained that the clubs are for adults only, not kids.

    “Don’t ruin your child’s life, and don’t ruin us, because that’s what you’re doing,” he concluded.

    A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph’s Hospital. She timidly asked,
    “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is
    doing?”
    The operator said, “I’ll be glad to help, dear. What’s the name and room
    number of the patient?”
    The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, Norma Findlay, Room
    302.”
    The operator replied, “Let me put you on hold while I check with the
    nurse’s station for that room.”
    After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,
    “I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her
    blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her
    Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.”
    The grandmother said, “Thank you. That’s wonderful. I was so worried.
    God bless you for the good News.”
    The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your
    daughter?”
    The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells
    me shet.”

    Schiffthead opened his session today crowing about holding the Senators at bay under threat of imprisonment. He then brought Nadless up to start bloviating. If I were sitting near the front I would be concerned about that brown drool coming out of each end of his alimentary canal. What a disgusting bag of human fecal matter he is – absolutely disgusting. They seem to have been talking for a month now, but it’s only the second day; third if you count the day they gave for Schumer to waste. Why have the leaders of the Senate, the Rep leaders I might add, turned complete control over to the Dems. If I were a Senator being subjected to this torture, I would be tempted to stand up and demand this be stopped right now, and dare them to toss me into the can. In the founding days, a man would put his honor in front of his life and challenge these scumbags to a duel – these days they would run for cover and hide under their desks like a schoolboy.

    Once upon a time I believed the police, in particular, prosecutors and judges would refuse to abuse innocent members of the law-abiding public.  Not when it really came down to the wire.

    I don’t believe that anymore, the sanctuary sheriffs in Virginia notwithstanding, and the specter of what might happen in an America controlled by a modern Leftist juggernaut led by the Democratic Party is pretty frightening.

    Witness what happened in Wisconsin after Scott Walker’s recall failed as told by Wisconsin state Senator Tom Tiffany:

    After Wisconsin Democrats failed to recall Gov. Scott Walker over his historic collective bargaining reforms, partisan bureaucrats at the state Government Accountability Board — the agency tasked with enforcing ethics and elections law —joined forces with Milwaukee County’s Democrat district attorney and four others to launch a secret investigation of Walker’s campaign and dozens of conservative organizations and activists who supported his policies.

    and this,

    Much like the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act Court, Wisconsin’s unusual John Doe law gave prosecutors exceptional powers to conduct secret investigations on the thinnest showing of suspicion, with a judge as a one-sided partner. There is no adversarial process to determine probable cause, and the retired judges who presided over the court had no immediate accountability.

    No one was ever charged with any crime, but lives were turned upside down and reputations were destroyed as prosecutors illegally leaked private documents to the press. Fortunes were spent on lawyers to defend conduct that, in the beginning and in the end, was legal.

    Virginia goes down hard Left after the rally on Monday:

    Now that the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates are controlled by Democrats for the first time in a generation, the legislature has the votes to move the state to the left, and gun control is at the top of their agenda. One bill mandates background checks for private sales of firearms, another prohibits the purchase of more than one handgun per month, and a third allows municipalities to ban firearms from public spaces and events. On Tuesday, a day after a large, peaceful crowd gathered outside the capitol building in Richmond, Va. to protest the bills, the state Senate took up “red-flag” legislation that would allow any attorney or law-enforcement official to apply for an emergency judicial order to “prohibit a person who poses a substantial risk of injury to himself or others from purchasing, possessing, or transporting a firearm.”

    and,

    To do the same for its social policy, they’ve introduced a bill that would repeal conscience protections for Catholic and other religious adoption agencies, effectively shutting those agencies down, and a bill that would require all public elementary and secondary schools to allow students who identify as transgender to participate on the sports teams and use the locker-rooms and showers of their preference.

    On abortion, one bill would remove parental–consent requirements, 24-hour waiting periods, and ultrasound requirements. Another bill would declare that a “pregnant person has a fundamental right to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, give birth to a child, or terminate a pregnancy.” Yet another proposes a constitutional amendment enshrining a right to abortion: “an individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy is central to the enjoyment of life and liberty and shall not be denied or infringed upon unless justified by a compelling interest of the Commonwealth and achieved by the least restrictive means.” When the budget comes up for debate, Democrats will have the opportunity to provide taxpayer funding of elective abortions.

    This will not end well.

    Dang. I’m 17 again. Just got delivery of a 1970 vintage Kelty Mountaineer external frame backpack.

    I was po folks when these were new so couldn’t afford one at the time, and it was ten years before I finally got to where I could afford a good external frame pack. By that time, Kelty had changed hands and bean counters had gotten involved in the design process.
    Need to do a non destructive upgrade to it before I can use it though. I don’t know what the foam padding on the shoulder straps were made of 50 years ago, but it turns rock hard with the passage of time.

    Reading about the airport screenings for the coronavirus reminded me of my friend, Jack.  He was leaving for a one day turnaround business trip a few weeks ago.  As he was going through the TSA inspection area, there were guys with Geiger counters scanning each passenger.

    They stopped the 73 year old Jack and took him aside to check him again and he kept setting off the sensors.  They took his overnight bag and him into a room and strip searched him.  TSA went through everything in his bags.  Finally, geniuses that they are, the agents asked what he had been doing the last few days.

    Jack said he spent the day before at his cardiologist’s clinic going through scans during which he was shot up with dye.  Voila !  Radioactive isotope injection in nuclear imaging is supposed to be out of your system in 60 hours so don’t go from the imaging center to the airport right away.

    Arab Countries Say ‘We Miss the Jews’

    It is no coincidence that Cairo has decided to invest tens of millions of dollars in the restoration of synagogues throughout Egypt. The most recent is the renovation of the once magnificent Eliyahu Hanavi (Elijah the Prophet) Synagogue, in which $6 million is being invested.

    And it is not only the Egyptians who want to coax back the prosperity that accompanied the Jewish presence. A few months ago, new Sudanese Minister of Religion Nasser Aladin called on Sudanese Jews whose families were forced to emigrate in the wake of the establishment of the State of Israel to return. In Lebanon, over a million dollars has been invested in the restoration of the Magen Avraham synagogue in the Wadi Abu Jamil neighborhood in West Beirut, near the Lebanese parliament.

    • We’ve also had the first report of a death outside Hubei province, where Wuhan is located

    My #44, this time last year. I’d never heard of Barnvelder Hens, but the wife has a pair of them. They are beautiful, the iridescent colors of their plumage reminds me of the Rio Grande Turkey, by far the prettiest of the big four.
    From Star Milling Company’s page:

    Barnvelders are named after the Dutch town of Barnveld. They are a medium sized, dual-purpose bird. They are hardy and make good foragers. They lay a fair number of brown eggs, are good winter layers, and have a calm disposition.

    The original and most well-known variety of this breed is the Double-laced pattern. They have beautiful plumage, with each feather having copper, black, and metallic green coloring. They make an excellent addition to a backyard flock, and are quite the conversation piece

    Just left Hubby, we were at the shop, talking. He was freaking out last night about money, especially since we have several vacancies right now and the “no more meters” date is closing in. He does this every now and then…concerns over money make him a little nuts since we’re closing off the other source of income.

    This afternoon, he said, smiling, “I can’t tell you how happy I am to be getting away from doing the meters!” (He’d just finished doing one of our last meters today.) “You were concerned about money last night, but we’ll make it work,” I said, “We’ll do our best and let God do the rest.” He agreed with me.

    One more crisis averted, I suppose. Until the next time he sees himself suspended on a tightrope without a safety net….

    These are deep thoughts from the leading contender for the nomination of the Democratic Party:

    “The idea that we have a serious problem facing us now that’s different, and it’s dealing with the whole idea of cyber war, underground cables that go across the Atlantic that allow us to control everything from satellites to shipping,” Biden told the audience. “We have to be prepared to modernize those, keep ourselves way ahead of the game to make sure that they are not able to be screwed with.”

    Biden continued, “So, the idea we’re gonna cut the defense budget significantly, we can cut it some, but we don’t need standing armies, we need to be smarter than we’re dealing now into how we handle this.”

I suspect that the Reps and the Trump attorneys will present about a one hour defense at most and waive 23 or their 24 hours. And as an elected Senator, to sit there and take the abuse and ridicule being dished out by Shiffthead and Nadless et al would be most galling. And all at the same time having to listen to the Dems telling us how unfair the process is, and what an innocent little prince Hunter is. Amazing that the Senate would cede its power like this. They should be passing out axe handles.

    They love being kicked in the head with an iron boot over and over again as long as they can still collect their blood money from endless wars and the CoC.

    They wanted it.
    Could of dismissed it but wanted the a$$ beating badly because most of them hate Trump too.
    If they knew they could vote to impeach and still get reelected they would.
    Their blood money, power and riding the gravy train is all that matters to these blood sucking Vampyres.

    Ed Morrissey today:

    The first rule of jury tampering is — well, it’s don’t, but the second rule is to tamper to make them sympathetic to your case. Yesterday, Jerrold Nadler accused Senate Republicans of taking part in a “cover up” in remarks that eventually drew a rebuke from presiding Chief Justice John Roberts. Rather than inspire moderates within the caucus, however, Nadler’s comments drew fire from one of the votes Democrats think might be within their reach — Lisa Murkowski, who was still steaming over Nadler’s insult hours later

    and,

    Democrats also worried publicly about it, with Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) trying to play it off as both sides overstepping decorum. Only one side needs votes from the other party, however, and that fact did not escape their notice. Perhaps this was just a coincidence, but after the session yesterday, Adam Schiff refused to allow reporters to ask any questions of Nadler. CNN’s Manu Raju tried to ask Nadler about his eruption as Nadler was present at the presser, but Schiff shut him down.

    The Senate did not cede any power.  They are merely abiding by long established rules for impeachment proceedings in the Senate prohibiting any commentary from the members.  The same rules applied in the Clinton impeachment.

    Senate Impeachment Rules

    March 2, 1868

    II. When the managers of an impeachment shall be introduced at the bar of the Senate, and shall signify that they are ready to exhibit articles of impeachment against any person, the presiding officer of the Senate shall direct the Sergeant-at-arms to make proclamation, who shall, after making proclamation, repeat the following words, viz: “All persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment, while the House of Representatives is exhibiting to the Senate of the United States articles of impeachment against ;” ____” after which the articles shall be exhibited, and then the presiding officer of the Senate shall inform the managers that the Senate will take proper order on the subject of the impeachment, of which due notice shall be given to the House of Representatives.

    #3, When I convert one I use lamps that fit the existing sockets and are end to end line voltage. Cut everything lose, all the wires to the sockets at one end go to the neutral and all the wires at the other end go to line. I don’t take the ballasts out, no reason to spend the time as they are not doing anything. I don’t know if any standards are out there for these yet. There are led lamps that only use the socket at one end, one side line the other neutral. Put the wrong lamp in those and they go off like a camera flash. But leave the fixture clearly marked as so modified.

    #72 Yes, I did it’s twin fixture a couple of years ago, and in fact I’ve got all the parts to do this one, except for ordering the bulbs. But I can’t stand up on that table now for fear of my vertigo kicking in.

    #68 – Not to be too argumentative, but if the parties were reversed, do you not think that those Senate Rules would have been modified; and in fact, I suspect that they could be modified at any time right now. I’ve heard that between 15 and 20 of the Rep members have skipped out anyway and are gone from the chamber. Just my thoughts.

    Had about 6 does grazing out back just about dusk, so I’m assuming they are a part of the big buck’s harem. Didn’t see him though. I imagine they are all properly fertilized now, so there’s no risk of letting them out a little on their own. No other bucks would be interested now.

    OK, you all keep your chins up and have a good one.

    Those reviews are priceless!

    “Can’t tell if it’s [woke] garbage or genius.”

    Now, THAT is a bad show. Most shows cross over the genius line – it’s a real thin one. Just from the description of the characters, it sounds like a never ending virtue signaling event from beginning to end.

    Oh, and check your brains at the door.

    But Schiff did not explain why he would treat an opinion article as “fact.” Editorials are not typically reliable sources of original reporting.

    The most logical explanation is that Schiff considered the article “factual” because he himself was the source.

    O’Reilly said he was bitten on his arm and chest during a struggle with the coyote he killed near the Kensington-Exeter line. He was taken to Exeter Hospital to be administered rabies shots, Kensington Police Chief Scott Cain said.

    O’Reilly’s son was not bitten.

    On Tuesday, attorneys for Michael Flynn filed a sentencing memorandum and letters of support for the former Army lieutenant general in federal court. The sentencing memorandum reveals for the first time concrete evidence that the FBI created multiple 302 interview summaries of Flynn’s questioning by now-former FBI agent Peter Strzok and a second unnamed agent, reported to be FBI Special Agent Joe Pientka.

    Well, after I took care of the chores and fed the girls, I went to Burger King,…Yes Burger King, and got some Broasted Chicken fer supper and Dayaam, it was good. ‘Bout the time, I finished up, the Boy called me from Kalifornia, telling me all sorts of mayhem that only happens in that enlightened state. I just said; “well you are earning your keep”. He is excited about heading to Houston next week, to honor the new Manager of the year and visit with all his old buddies….The wife is in Clear Lake today, and spent most of the day propping up the new Neighborhood Nazi, that took her place. Wife is working on legal documents to send to the lawyer about Sluggs that will not pay their dues. Me,..I’m living, large! Life is Good in south Alabama.

    I hope that Flynn’s attorneys sue the ever-lovin’ heckfahr out of each and every miscreant. Ruin whatever careers they have left. Bankrupt them as he was bankrupted.

    They deserve no less.

    Then he gets to go on speaking tours and/or hold a position as some kind of oversight officer so this crap never happens again.

    The FISA court is in the news again too. When the fraud blew up in the FISA court, the head judge tucked her tail and ran. Rosemary Collyer I believe was her name. Now the new guy is following protocol, admits the court was duped, blames prior management, and promises to do better. Same song, 98th verse. https://thefederalist.com/2020/01/23/breaking-spy-court-admits-fisa-warrants-against-carter-page-were-not-valid/ That secret spy court needs to be abolished.

    No new news on the impeachment front. Pathetic bunch of lies and propaganda being put out with no opposition or objection. Maybe the theory is that just let them go at it for so long, repeating over and over the same story, that people will finally give up. Well, I did give up, but there must still be some people watching somewhere.

    Now, I did my share to try to reach that magic triple digit number, so it’s someone else’s turn.

    Judge James Boasberg is an Obama appointee to the DC District Court and was appointed to FISA by John Roberts.  He is the first Democrat presiding judge over FISA in 25 years.  I don’t trust him because…

    Judge James E. Boasberg, head of the FISA court, appointed ex-Department of Justice official David Kris as an adviser to help review the FBI’s handling of the Carter Page FISA warrants, which were exposed as deeply flawed by Inspector General Michael Horowitz last year.

    Kris, a frequent contributor to the left-leaning Lawfare blog and a former assistant attorney general in the Obama DOJ’s national security division, has been an outspoken critic of President Trump’s claims that a “deep-state coup” was orchestrated to undermine his 2016 election. He has also had extensive experience with the FISA Court, having served as an amicus curiae, or special adviser, since March 2016.

    Kris has also extensively defended the use of FISA applications to surveil Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page, telling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in July 2018 that “it seems to me very likely that if we get below the tip of the iceberg into the submerged parts and more is revealed, it will get worse, not better” for Page, who was accused of being a Russian agent.
