    WHAT?

    I never said I discounted Pippa Malmgren.

    Then. what is this?

    I think she is a huckster living off her father’s reputation,

    At no point did you address what she said only some long bio of her completely ignoring my point.

    I merely did my research on one single member of the endless conga line of WEF/New World Order/Great Reset toadies, lackeys and sycophants.

    Sigh if you say so.  OUT

    Here is some nasty crap they’re trying to pull…if you’re interested in world class totalitarianism that is…

    Most people have never heard of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). Conveniently, GFANZ has remained absent from the mainstream media climate change dialogue. Yet, the United Nations-backed alliance is the world’s most extensive collaboration of financial institutions aggressively forcing the global economy to transition to “net zero greenhouse gas emissions.” 

    Launched in April 2021 by UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance Mark Carney, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, GFNAZ doesn’t just aim to promote the move to net zero. Instead, as pointed out by Whitney Webb, the powerful career bankers behind GFANZ “have developed a plan to transform the global financial system by fusing with institutions like the World Bank and using them to further erode national sovereignty in the developing world.” 

    The “green” plan pushed by GFANZ—which is part of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (a wistful and sinister blueprint for global peace and prosperity)—is centered around the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) spelled out by the UN.

    I never said I discounted Pippa Malmgren.  She has people’s attention and she has a PR team to promote her name. She is sleazy as far as I am concerned, but that doesn’t mean she won’t land some huge, powerful gig in digital finance somewhere, even if I do think she’s a high-end hustler.

    Other folks in the media constantly mention her father as a big deal because he was Nixon’s finance advisor.  Pippa never fails to mention her father because he was a presidential advisor.  It’s everywhere and she never shuts up about it.  She and others are the ones making a thing about her father – not me.

    Like I said about evil……..  She is one of many.

    I do not discount them just because she is some guys daughter.  Biden tells us all the time what he is going to do and he does it.  His signing that vaccination passport agreement is the ground work.  Just watch and see.  Canada blocks peoples money during the trucker strike was proof of concept that is coming here.  We have no protection because the Constitution has been thrown out the wind and burned.  Need a law?  Set up an OFFICE OF (insert name here) and they will establish a regulation.  Fauci was proof of concept.  It is all incremental.  DUDE the red lights are all over the place and the evil is busy telling us what they are going to do.

    No, I didn’t miss any point at all.  I merely did my research on one single member of the endless conga line of WEF/New World Order/Great Reset toadies, lackeys and sycophants.  I try to chase down the histories on as many as I can just like David Horowitz & Co. does at Discover the Networks.  Some of these people are important, some are unimportant but will be important in the future…some are simply losers and will always be insignificant.

    I’ve been watching plans for controlling the currency since they invented ATMs and then ramped it up by distributing debit cards in the 1980s.  While the public generally thought they were for people who couldn’t or didn’t have a credit card, I could see the real plan was to slowly accustom the bourgeoisie to a non-cash society.  Start them out on convenient plastic and sooner or later, you start slowly withdrawing cash money from the Public Square – who needs it anymore ?  There are retail stores on the West Coast that refuse to deal in cash money now.  There are music and sports venues appearing that only accept debit or credit cards now, even for refreshments – cash not welcome.  When every single transaction down to the personal purchase of a cup of coffee or a hamburger is recorded and analyzed by algorithms designed by the US government, any shred of liberty is only a far distant memory.  It’s already gone and dead.

    The vast, illegal surveillance of American citizens since the late 1990s, after 9/11 with the horrible Patriot Act to the current pervasive domestic spying of Homeland Security is petrifying to anyone paying close attention.  When morons like Thomas Friedman of the New York Times started babbling on during the Obama regime about how wonderful the Chinese citizenship evaluation system is, I got physically ill because no one in the public realm smacked him down.  I knew then the entire Left was all in then.

    No, Squawk, I’ve been watching closely for a long, long time.

    Evening, gang. I have not had a productive day. It was Fall Checkup day for the central AC/heat system at Chez Harp. The downstairs heat had not been doing well during this cold spell we’ve had. I had already made the Fall appointment which was running late this year, as I was still running the AC during most of October, except for a couple of cold days, then back to the AC until this latest cold snap.

    I was trying to keep the cats warm with a portable electric heater. I think the last time it had been used was Feb 2016 when I was fostering Gypsy and her 3 kittens. I don’t know how old that unit actually was, but after a few hours use last week, it fritzed out and I found several switches were off in the fuse box. I was able to get several of those back on but am not knowledgeable enough to know what the others are even for. I need to do some reading and/or get an electrician to look at it.

    College Dropouts Mark Zuckerberg, Friend-of-Jeffrey-Epstein Funding Effort to Toxify Public Education and Push Woke Indoctrination on Impressionable Children, Parents Group Says

    —Ace

    Some of the largest philanthropic organizations in the world are funneling millions of dollars into schools to push left-wing education initiatives at the expense of students academics, one parent activist group says.

    Parents Defending Education, a grassroots organization helping parents with resources devoted to fighting “indoctrination in the classroom,” investigated where five prominent foundations were awarding grants.

    Their study called “Cracked Foundations,” found these organizations gave over $200 million to 70 school districts across the nation from 2017-2021. The parents group said that students in some of these districts were failing at math and reading, yet grants were being awarded to advance initiatives promoting equitable grading, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Critical Race Theory instead of academics.

    and

    I don’t think Bill Gates should be allowed to have anything to do with children until the Epstein books are all opened and we can see he didn’t visit Pedo Island.

    YOU MISSED THE POINT.  The powers that be or will be are telling what they are going to do.  I have read so much of the WEF site that has been in the making for years it is easy to see their plan.  It is a plan and when I look at the whole of the picture they are pushing their agenda and the governments are falling in lockstep.  And they are telling us what they are going to do and they are doing it.  You and me are just fodder.

    Pippa Malmgren

    One thing I do know after an hour of research, Pippa Malmgren is an extraordinary self-promoter.  She has speakers’ bureaus selling her services all over the world and book publishers hawking her books.  Malmgren sells herself as some genius futurist and seems to be trying to compete with that Klaus creep over at the WEF.  The woman is clearly pushing the digital currency theme because she sees herself playing a big role in its formation and figures there will be a way to siphon a bunch for herself.

    People have reposted the video of her that Squawk posted in #42 I don’t how many times.  Malmgren clearly believes in hiring and paying PR firms and publicists to keep her name being repeated out there on the internet.  I think she’s angling to have some kind of big time government appointment in Europe over digital currency if it actually ever happens by promoting herself as some kind international expert on the subject.  Malmgren is clever, very smart and playing a big, serious game.  I also don’t think she knows much more than the next guy about how digital money will actually work, but that doesn’t really matter because she can hire techogeeks to deploy the system once she’s in charge.

    This woman is skilled in the art of promotion.  Pippa has mastered all the vernacular and phraseology of the elite, globalist crowd and knows how to punch their buttons.

    She widely claims to have founded this robotics company in the UK, but the guy who put up the money and actually owns the company says she is full of BS and is lying about her role.  Her last book is ranked #19,331 on Amazon’s Business Book List.

    I think she is a huckster living off her father’s reputation, but that’s just me.

    We’ll see…history will tell.

    Back from eye doc.  We’re not satisfied with the progress and improvement in the left eye yet, so we’re going to continue the prescription eye drops for another month and then see if we can do some glasses.  The left eye has been a problem for a long time, but he looked down in there, took pictures, measurements, and the like and said there is nothing that should prevent pretty good vision.  And I did tell him that it was getting better every day, so we hope that continues.  So still will have some double vision for another month or so and just need to slow down to prevent eye strain.  Sounds good to me, so there is the report.  I think it’s about nap time now.

    Freemason motto ‘Ordo Ab Chao’ -order out of chaos. 

    On the arms of Baphomet have the inscriptions “solve” and “coagula” – which means “dissolve” and “bring together” (in a different way, we suppose – their way).  It corresponds to your “Ordo Ab Chao”. 

    The goal of the globabists is to destroy existing economic, political, and social structures, then recreate them in such a way that a global order is established.   The attacks on the natural family structure is but one effort.  Our Pope is working to make all religions equal with the Catholic Church, of which he is Vicar.  He’s actually on video telling teenagers who visited him that proseletyzing was “venom” coming out of their mouths.  Ummmm….isn’t that what Jesus demands of us?  To spread the Gospel?  His “synod on synodality” is an attempt to destroy the established nature of the Church, to make it secularly democratic. If that happens, then Catholic beliefs will be matched to the latest political or socially acceptable whims.  No house built on rock, the Church will be sitting on shifting sand, standing for nothing and meaning even less.   

    And his efforts on ecumenism are anathema. If all religions are equal, then why be Catholic? Baptist? Muslim? Hindu?  Let’s dump it all into a bucket, mix it up, and compromise on a religion based on everything.  And compliance will probably not be optional.

    Think ProPublica, Axios, etc.

    A fictional, for-profit media company, Flaming News, that owns 5 big newspapers needs to raise more money and pay more reporters DNC stenographers for content.  It looks bad for them to take money from woke corporations, tech billionaires and hedge-funders.

    Members of the Flaming News board of directors form a tax-exempt, non-profit foundation “devoted to high-powered investigative news projects to inform and educate the American public.”  It’s called the Flaming Democracy Foundation.  They take in all kinds of corporate donations and Democrat dark money funneled through blind laundering operations like the Tides Foundation.  The Flaming News Foundation reporters hired generate all kinds of smear stories on conservatives and Republicans which are then published in the for-profit Flaming News corp. newspapers.

    That is the way it works.

    It is coming.  It is not Biden that I worry about, it is the people (deep state if you will) behind Biden.  The one world government people are real and out of the closet.  The one worlders have a plan and their moves are incremental and we are being setup.

    Create the problem, encourage the reaction “something must be done”, and then offer the solution. It is summed up by the Freemason motto ‘Ordo Ab Chao’ -order out of chaos. Create the chaos and then offer the way to restore order. Your order. The masses are herded and directed by many and varios forms of emotional and mental control. It is the only way it coud be done.”

    Round 2 of what we have seen with Covid is on the way.  Every problem from supply chain, to diesel shortages, to food shortages, to the economy can be fixed.  What do we see happening?  NOTHING but blaming climate change and Covid 19.  ‘Their” answer is to move us into the EveryReady way of life that will not, cannot work not to mention it is more harmful to Mama Earth than any petro solution will ever be.  And a vocal minority is calling for the changes. We have been set up.  Hegel was right.

    Dang it is a fine day! 65 and bright sunshine, short sleeve weather and that’s a good ting since I have maybe 4 or 5 long sleeve shirts. I’m working on the trim for my bench in the Pole Barn and it’s warm a sunny enough for the varnish to dry on the pieces before I nail them up. FWIW; They are about 80% finished but I had to get some more trim for the small shelf I added after the fact.

    Do they make one in 12 gauge?

    No only a .410 since anything bigger would fit the lever rifle platform. .410, 44 Mag and 45 LC will all work in a lever action that size.  It may seem like a goofy to chamber a short range .410 in a lever rifle but it would make a home good self defense weapon. BTW; The also make  a Mare’s Leg version of it and that would be a great home self defense weapon.

    Tedtam (and anyone else to whom this applies) I don’t know if you have a cabinet/shelf (where you store lightbulbs in cardboard sleeves) above your laundry area – but IF YOU DO, do yourself a favor and always check before you put items in the washer – double CHECK to make SURE that nothing (especially a cardboard sleeve of lightbulbs) has fallen into the washer before you start a load to wash.  No – none of the bulbs broke (it was actually a load I had on “gentle” so I’m not sure whether the spin cycle was involved, but it’s taken a lot of time to attempt to remove every shred/glob of disintegrated cardboard out of the washing machine and (fingers crossed that it would work) do a load of towels that would hopefully capture any remaining shreds of paper mache’/cardboard…. So… I was tempted to close the lid to the washer when not in use but it doesn’t seem to like being closed up all the time and gets musty smelling… However, I do believe the experience has seared into my memory to double check that nothing has fallen in before I put any laundry in to wash…

    Let me tell ya, I am glad this woman is on our side because she has multi-faceted brilliance – brains and yes, sirree, beauty.

    Mark Steyn with GBNews says it’s obvious from the world leaders’ remarks that they’ve “taken this virus and the world they built in response to it to make it permanent.” After a Pfizer executive admitted the company “hadn’t tested its vaccine to stop transmission of the virus,” Dutch legal philosopher Eva Vlaardingerbroek told Steyn, “everything is out in the open now. Everyone knows it doesn’t work. … It’s become so obvious that they’ve thrown logic out the window.”

    She also points out that what is being stated is disingenuous. When world leaders say, “We will facilitate movement,” she says, they really mean, “we will restrict movement if you don’t do what we say.”

    “The fundamental question” to be addressed, she said is, “People have forgotten what the state is for, and the state serves the citizens, not the other way around. You have an entire population that apparently seems to forget that they pay up to half of their income in taxes. … You do that so that the state – supposedly – does things in your interest. Instead, the state treats us as criminals … every citizen is proven guilty until proven innocent.”

    Oh, and let’s not forget this bald-faced lie…

    Biden signed the declaration 19 months after Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 Response Team leader, vowed no such policy would ever be implemented in the U.S.

    In April 2021, he said, “Let me be clear that the government is not now, nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential. There’ll be no federal vaccination database, no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential.”

    Lets also be clear that Biden running around the world signing this declaration and that resolution doesn’t translate into black-letter American law just because he wants it.  Not only do we have a majority in the House, there are several Democratic senators I believe would oppose any vaccine passport plan.

    I don’t know what unconstitutional scheme Biden might try to execute to get this done, but it would not be easy for the White House to unilaterally implement a credential bureaucracy for 330+ million people.  However, given the outrageously extralegal conduct of this administration, anything is possible.

    It was the early baptism practices that caught my eye.

    Traditionally, every person who was baptized in the Catholic Church was solemnly and repeatedly exorcized before being baptized. Infants, children, adults, and converts from other religions were all exorcized, and even ­Protestants whose baptisms the Church recognized as valid were administered “supplemental rites” that included the same exorcisms prayed over everyone else. In fact, in the early years of ­Christianity, individuals preparing for baptism were exorcized every day for the forty days of Lent, “sending the demons fleeing.”

    Childers has a lot more to say about FTX – how it got money, illegally funded money, bought support, etc. – it is breathtaking in its scope.

    Then, on to “news grants”.  I’d never heard of those before, but it seems to be a great way of buying good news coverage.  Bribes for “journalists” it seems.

    /big clip- go read!

    That we know of so far, none of the “completely objective” news companies who got FTX money ever disclosed that fact before now.

    It might have shocked you to find out that not only is there a market for big companies to give large “grants” to news companies — without even buying advertising— but also the practice is apparently so widespread and so well-accepted that nobody’s blown the whistle on it so far.

    Here’s what they want us to believe: Sam Bankman-Fried was an altruistic genius with a personal passion — like Bill Gates! — for pandemic preparedness and biosafety. So he quietly slipped a bunch of oversized financial grants to news agencies, “grants” that were so large they might have doubled the firms’ annual budgets. We don’t know if there were any strings attached, or requirements, or restrictions, or anything else.

    Well, this ‘splains a lot.  If PACS or “charities” can funnel thousands of dollars in grants to news agencies, I’m sure there is a Biden-like non-quid-pro-quo thing going on. /sarc off

    Next up, more reasons to fear breathing and living:

    There’s a new study that finds a link between particulates (i.e., pollution) and cardiac arrest.  I’m thinking there’s some confusion between causation and correlation here, but correlation works for the purposes of The Agenda.  And Childers makes this observation:

    Still, it’s brilliant! The study is a two-fer. It helps obscure all the studies that might give people the wrong idea that SADS is related to the jabs somehow. Instead, people searching for cardiac event studies will find heart attacks might be caused by an invisible enemy — microparticulates. The study also provides a rationale for more masking, to keep those evil, SADS-causing particles out.

    You have to hand it to Science. Scientists have heroically pushed back the frontier of knowledge about things that cause cardiac problems. Why, just in the last year, we’ve discovered dozens and dozens of new things that can make your heart stop.

    So, it it covers COVID a$$, gives yet one more reason for authoritarian controlled masking mandates, AND it makes the scientists sound more smarter.

    It doesn’t get any better than that.  For the left.

    Next up, pandemic accountability:

    … Team Reality member and data guru Ethical Skeptic confirmed that he has spoken to lawmakers about his vaccine injury research, and maybe more importantly, spoken with analysts working for the lawmakers, which at least shows that some lawmakers are taking pandemic accountability seriously and are trying to get their ducks in a row.

    /snip

    Ethical Skeptic said he can’t disclose who he’s spoken with — which makes sense. I take his post as great news. We might be closer than we think.

    Once this story breaks — and it will — it’s going to be the most devastating political weapon in history.

    We can only hope.  But there’s a lot of power for the folks who are invested in their financial and political gain, so I’m not holding my breath.  There may be a few under-bus candidates, because window dressing is important to the low information voter base.

    First up, the Pelosi lie (not shocked):

    After it muscled into the otherwise local case, the United States Department of Justice contradicted earlier reports from officers on the scene, and began insisting that the two San Fransisco police officers opened the door — not Pelosi. That contradicted the earlier version from the District Attorney’s office, which had reported “Mr. Pelosi opened the door with his left hand.”

    MR. PELOSI opened the door. Not the cops.

    But now, according to a source who’s seen the body cam footage, the District Attorney’s version has been proven correct, and the DOJ’s version is false. The video reportedly shows police knocking on the door, backing away, and then Paul Pelosi clearly opening the door from the inside.

    Almaguer, a reporter that published a story that matches the body cam videos had his story scrubbed and then was suspended.  As Childers said, he just might have grounds for a lawsuit.

    The reason for the coverup is as strange as the coverup itself.  This whole story is whack.

    But, why tell the truth when a lie is available?  It’s the Democrat way.

    Great article.  So true, that we have lost so much since the VatII.  I’ve listened to exorcists who prefer to use the older rite, because the prayers are stronger.  I’ve also heard them say that confessions are more powerful sacraments than exorcisms.  Well, exorcisms aren’t officially sacraments, but you know what I mean.

    I also remember reading a book about exorcisms that the people involved in assisting the exorcism were required to go to confession beforehand, because Satan couldn’t see the sins confessed and forgiven, and so couldn’t use those against the participants.  I hadn’t realized that before.

    After attending the Latin mass for so long now, attending a novus ordo mass is like drinking weak Kool-Aid.  And learning Latin and spending more time on the left side of the missal is even better.  I’ve also heard exorcists say that prayers in Latin tend to more efficacious than in common languages.  Latin is considered a “holy language,” being one of the 3 languages used by the early Church, along with Hebrew and Aramaic.

    So, yeah, I agree with a lot that’s in that article.  I missed the Epiphany Water blessing last year, but I want to take my container this year. Our church also hands out blessed chalk to mark our doors with an Epiphany blessing, which I’ve done for the last two years.  Never had that in the NO church I used to attend.

    RE: Covid Vaccines

    The world and our gubment is not finished with Covid Vaccines.  It is all about population control.  Don’t be fooled with the so called relaxing of Covid restrictions.

    Biden, world leaders sign declaration to adopt vaccine passports for international travel

    (The Center Square) – President Joe Biden signed a G20 Bali Leaders’ Declaration agreeing to adopt vaccine passports to “facilitate” all international travel.

    Paragraph 23 of the declaration pertains to “facilitating seamless international travel” by pledging to commit to international dialogue and collaboration to establish a “trusted global digital health networks that should capitalize and build on the success of the existing standard and digital COVID-19 certificates.”

    Read the declaration and see how all our woes are based on climate change and covid.

    Oh wait never mind.  I am just an apocalyptic tin foil hat doom and gloomer.  Our government and the world will never do the things I have been warning about.

    It must be awful for Target employees who try to work amidst an ongoing crime scene, but as for the impact on Target Corporation, this is sweet karma.

    Decriminalization of crime is part of the woke agenda. Even if Target hadn’t been contributing to pro-crime and anti-police organizations, they would still deserve this because of all the woke crud they’re trying to inflict on everyone else.

    So long as Target’s woke executives think it’s swell to have men walk in on girls who are using the bathroom, and so long as Target is pushing transgenderism on the children of its customers, those executives deserve to see the street crime division of Woke, Inc. ravage Target’s income statement.

    Dang man I would love to get that for ya but ya see I am retired now and live on limited income.  Now if you and I were making obscene profits together in the Super Dave Bistro Cafe and Tractor Repair Museum where fine country cooking and tractors come together, that rifle would be yours.

    You won’t believe this but: there was a “noose” found at the construction site of the Obama unPresidential Libary and House of Ill repuke.

    This little gem made me laugh:

    “Hate has no place in Illinois. The noose is more than a symbol of racism,” fumed morbidly obese billionaire Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.  Mayor Lori Lightfoot claimed that the rope was “disturbing” and “repulsive”: two words that have often been used to describe her face.

    Enjoy this cold, clammy day.

    Cooking the Brined Turkey

    Once I’ve followed all the steps I describe in my brining recipe, I set the bird into a disposable roasting pan on a bed of onions and carrots.  I make a paste of melted butter and paprika and smear it over the whole bird.  I put a bunch of onions and garlic cloves inside the turkey and sprinkle the outside with cracked black pepper.  Then I cook it in the oven in the traditional way.  The only way I get to have leftover turkey for sandwiches is to stick a couple of turkey breasts into the oven also.  The whole turkeys always disappear.

    This is where I buy our turkeys. 

    It’s a big family operation in Hawthorne, NJ, about 20 minutes from here. They have their own turkey farm over in Amish country in Pennsylvania.  They truck fresh turkeys and chickens from PA every night and package them here.

    I took the weekend off because…Crockett (found Santa there) and then Sunday was an oh-crap arm day.  I’m going to make another appointment for the doc because even when the arm feels good and I think it’s okay – I reach for something and the oh-crap starts again.  Hubby has also promised that I’d make lasagna for Dec. 10th car club party here at the Dome.  I need to find out if/when I’m getting back surgery (and possible arm treatment) so I’ll know which holiday events I’m going to have to sit out.

    Saturday’s C&C was one of Childers’ best.  I highly recommend going to read it.  All of the millions dumped into the FDA for basically….nothing.  Even Britain’s medical journal is laughing at the farce.  More updates on FTX and other important news.

    Waiting on today’s news.  Here’s hoping El G’s drive time and appointments  go well today. Cold, wet, and gray is a miserable way to drive.  I had to do that on the way back from Crockett, and I hated it.  I remember one trip to see the grandkids and it was like that all the way from Houston to Dallas.  The lack of contrast, where everything is gray, is quite wearing on a driver.  Struggling to read the road signs through the rain covered windshield.  I remember reading an article, too, about how the operations for contrast and speed are in the same part of the brain.  That’s why some people have accidents in the fog – they feel like they are driving slowly and go too fast, if they aren’t constantly checking their gauges.  I was doing that all they way to Dallas that day, and checking my rearview and side mirrors constantly for other drivers.

    I was so glad to get there and turn off the engine.

    Once you’ve brined a bird for 18-24 hours, it’s heavy with moisture and doesn’t need a bag at all.

    If you’re cooking an un-brined turkey, you would put it in a bag to preserve the natural juices.

    Thanks Texpat I did read and understand the directions in your Block Quotes I just wondered if you actually cooked the bird in the bag, a different bag.

    Well, the rain finally moved in here in the woods… at a whopping 45 degrees… Even the birds seem cowed by the weather. I saw one chickadee – hopping around in a tree as he was trying to figure out which leaf would keep the drips off of him the best.

    DO NOT confuse my brining/marinading recipe with Bonecrusher’s cooking recipe !

    These are two very different things.

    I only use the bags to hold the bird in the brining liquid.  I do not cook my turkeys in any kind of bag because after brining, cooking in any bag is unnecessary.

    You gotta read the destructions.

    Put one oven bag inside the other and put it into the roasting pan.  Fold the opening back to make a collar and place your turkey in the bag.  Pour the brine mixture into the bag slowly, twist the bag shut carefully forcing out as much air as possible and secure with 2 zip ties.  Turn the bird so the breast side is down and place into the refrigerator for 18 – 24 hours.

    Remove the turkey from the bag, rinse off all the debris, pat dry and let sit uncovered in the pan for 6 hours in the refrigerator to dry out the skin.  Remove from the refrigerator and prep the turkey for roasting in whatever way you like.

    Marinating the turkey in the brine after removing the air and then sealing it tight creates more hydrostatic pressure into the bird.  After the listed time span, REMOVE the bird from the double bags and throw them away.  DO NOT COOK THE TURKEY IN THE BAGS.  It is also critical that you double bag the turkey for for the brining process.  One bag is not strong enough.

    #10 SD:  We have used the bag for at least 15 years running and it is the best way to cook a turkey.  After the bird is done and still in the bag, let it rest and cool about 15 minutes, then remove the bag.  Debone the bird (no slicing at the table, because most will just fall off the bone) and let all the meat just soak in the plentiful amount of juice left behind.  All the meat, including the breast, will be juicy and tender.

    Some women are just plain crazy.

    Headline:
    Julia Fox Says Men ‘Shouldn’t Even Be Allowed To Have Penises’, Describes How She Would Kill Them
    /snip

    “Maybe my ex-boyfriends weren’t wrong when they were calling me a lesbian and complaining that I never wanted to have sex with them,” Fox said, adding, “I can find love in all places and all races.”

    Fox said she would contemplate dating women because of the negative feelings she seems to have toward men. “They all, like, are equally horrible, to be honest. All men,” Fox said in the interview.

    Let’s see here; the only common thread between all the men she has dated and her is . . . . . her.  Perhaps she is/has the problem.  The real terrifying thing about this is that her vote counts just as much as yours.

    (cue Lost in Space robot voice):  DANGER! CRAZY! DANGER! CRAZY!

    Texpat, thanks for the Turkey Brining recipe, I’m going to try it. You said to put the bird in a Reynolds Oven Bag and I’m sure that was done to use less liquid and save space than a big pot but do you also cook the turkey in a bag? I’ve not done that but bags were popular about about 30 years ago and I know folks that did.

    Read about the shenanigans in Maricopa County from eyewitness attorneys.

    Katie Hobbs was involved in all of this and potentially stands to benefit from her own chicanery.

    Gee, if only we had some federal agency to be sure that justice is administered fairly and elections are not rife with fraud and rampant voter disenfranchisement. . . . . .

    If you look at the “Text” version of a typical tweet of 4 or 5 sentences, it is buried in a hundred lines of code.  Way too complicated for me. It’s almost easier to retype the quote than to try and clean up Twitter code.

    What Elon is doing is a revolt by entrepreneurial capital against the professional-managerial class regime that otherwise everywhere dominates (including and especially large tech companies), and that same PMC (which includes the media) is treating it as an act of lèse-majesté.

    Great picture, I miss wagonburner’s Friday “Audrey” pixs. It’s a cold 31 here this morning but we’ll make mid 60’s later I hope so, our high yesterday was 48 too damn cold for me. El Gordo be careful out there, lots of nuts on the road and no there’s sense in driving at night unless you have to.

    Mornin’ El Gordo, Gang

    Morning gang.  Up early this morning due to turning in early last night.  Got to get cleaned up and go to Marble Falls for eye follow up.  Don’t want to leave until after daylight though.  Even after getting new lenses in the eyeballs I still don’t like driving at night.  And there is the ever present deer hazard.  The rut is on, and the bucks pay no attention to anything except what they are chasing.  They will run right in to the side of your car and not even see it coming.  Good rule of thumb – if you see one deer running across the road, just wait because there will be another one behind it.

    Plan to make a Walmart stop as well to load up on staples.  Before Mary’s passing in February, I would go visit her in Dallas every few weeks and make my regular Walmart visits as well.  Now I don’t have reason to go to Dallas, so I tend to run out of stuff before making a run to a “local” store – the nearest one being about 50 miles away.

    Looks like the low for the evening is about 37, and while the roads are wet, there is not icing to deal with, so I’ve got that going for me.  Anyway, you all have a great day.  More later as it develops.  Should be able to get back by noon or so without rushing.
