Some satire on the leaked Supreme Court info. Overall between OK to good with some funny points.
People love to throw around the term “constitutional crisis”. Well, we’ve got one now.

Getting old sucks. Niki has a bloodclot and the best meds will push our overall monthly medicine bill from about $60/month to over $700/month. God is good though. Can’t tell you how many times He’s pulled us through financial hardships. We’ll see what happens.
I just found out my daughter, and Shannon’s niece, in Oregon received her exam scores back and is now officially today a licensed Registered Nurse. She spent two years taking night classes to fulfill science requirements lacking from her original BA and then two years non-stop in nursing school.

One of my favorite meals is rice and beans.
Rice and beans was my food staple for two years in Brazil. Great overall nutrition for cheap. Add a little noodles and meat and you have a meal that’ll keep your tummy full for hours.

I see you all heard the Supreme Court news. Yes, abortion belongs to the states.
#79 – One of the few times I agree with Roberts. It should be a State matter. Other than the moral issue, the other big deal might be to do away with federal funding for abortions, namely getting rid of PP.
Big time news there. I heard Justice Roberts say that he believed that abortion should never have been heard and that the issue would best be left to the states. I think that is why several states are getting their laws in gear including some states declaring they will be abortion safe zones.
I have MY coffee cup that I had back in the service and my favorite all purpose glass. the only deviation is my tea glass (no sugar. plenty of cut lemon).
I don’t have a dishwasher. Well I do but it is full of canning jars. Jars stored there after use. I stopped using the dishwasher years ago before my Mom moved in. We would eat, rinse of the plates put em in the dishwasher and three days later wash the dishes when the thing got full. Forget that. It is… Read more »

I know you hillbillys will find this shocking, but we break out the real china and sterling silverware twice a year, at Pesach and at Thanksgiving. Plus tablecloths with cloth napkins and crystal stemware.
Yeah, I’ve had more than my fill of paper plates. I don’t mind washing a few more real dishes one bit. We even have one of those new-fangled machines that’ll wash the dishes for ya. Jed Clampett had one but Granny refused to use it.
Ya gotta have a steak to eat it.
We’re talking apocalypse here, Bubba.
Mad Max.
All the meat will be gone from the shelves within 48 hours.
All the cows on hoof will be gone in a month. Unless your favorite neighborhood cowboy sleeps with the cattle and has plenty of ammo for his automatic weapon.
I refuse to put my beans on the side. Since I am the head cook and dish washer round here i am not going to contribute to a larger workload. Even it is just one more dish.
Bed got made up. Snacking now on a couple of left over ribs, and they are still pretty good. Food shortage – yeah, where do they think fertilizer comes from.

Embedded within the Hot Air article is a tweet correctly calling the leak a “scumbag move”. Good take on that as well.

I would much rather wash the plate than eat off of paper. To each his own.

Since Mom passed away BSue and I eat a whole bunch of meals off heavy duty paper plates. I cannot bring myself to use plastic knives and forks.
Brutha, I can definitely identify with that.
ADD BEANS MORE PROTEIN
Harrruummmph argue that.

There you have it. A real fine, native Texas woman with all the social graces who even clandestinely smoked fine cigars. She knows her chili.
Genuine straight, pure, beef chili has approximately 22.4 grams of protein per serving and only about 12 grams of carbs.
Ya gotta have a steak to eat it.
We’re talking apocalypse here, Bubba.
Mad Max.
All the meat will be gone from the shelves within 48 hours.
All the cows on hoof will be gone in a month. Unless your favorite neighborhood cowboy sleeps with the cattle and has plenty of ammo for his automatic weapon.

Nothing wrong with beans ON THE SIDE.
That’s how Fay eats chili.
Don’t get me wrong – I love rice. Unfortunately I fell for a potato woman.
Potatoes are only 2grams protein per serving.
But high in Vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and B6.
That’s kinda unfair.
I could gnaw on a steak that gives more than that, plus you still need the raw calories from the fat.
And not commit a crime against nature.

Homemade Chili w/pintos
Chili with beans and meat, homemade (1 cup) contains 23.5g total carbs, 16.3g net carbs, 9.1g fat,, and 242 calories.
18.2g protein
So there.
Rice only supplies 4 to 4.5grams of protein per serving.
Pintos – 7.2grams per serving.
Great Northern Beans (a favorite of mine) a whopping 9.7grams.
The story on various beans and their protein:

There was a very, very spooky lack of traffic out here on my afternoon rounds.
Did the apocalypse happen while I wasn’t looking?
No One Has Ever Successfully Underestimated the Knowledge Level of the Average Lawmaker When the Subject is Guns.
Headline of the day.
One of my favorite meals is rice and beans. Unfortunately, I can’t indulge any more with my diabetes threat. Dangit.
Love my rice. Love my beans.
