Yard mowed, ribs in the smoker

Just did a simple spice mix - salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, cayenne, and then mixed it with maple syrup so it was a paste; rubbed that all over the ribs.  Using applewood to smoke them.

Next up - bottling the three gallon batch of cider I have ready to go.

Busy day today.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, Blunt Truth edition

And this is why liberalism and conservatism cannot co-exist peacefully.

Everything that modern liberalism accomplishes is accomplished at the barrel of a government rifle.

The entire piece is full of wisdom.  Go thee hence and read.

Steven Crowder is James O'Keefe's long-lost brother

He's the funny one.



Hot damn, that was awesome.  And frightening.

Dear Nasty Bastards who work with me

The hole in the toilet bowl is one foot by a foot and a half.  You can stand right up against it if you wish.  There's NO FUCKING EXCUSE for you NOT AIMING WHILE YOU PISS.

You disgusting pigs.  You gross, nasty pieces of crap.  I don't want to have to step around the puddle of piss that you left behind, you absolutely foul barnyard animal!  I've seen pigs with better manners! I've seen cattleyards in better condition than what you leave behind!

I swear to all that's Holy, if my Chaplain hadn't been dragging me back to my office, I would have been marching through the building screaming at the top of my lungs "WHO'S THE BRAIN-DEAD SHITWAD WHO PISSED ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF THE LATRINE?!?!  I GUESS YOU WERE TOO FAT TO SEE YOUR OWN DICK OR WHERE YOU WERE AIMING!"

I'm willing to bet one month's paycheck

That the owner of this now-closed bookstore voted Democrat every single election since he turned 18.  And I'm willing to bet another month's paycheck that he still doesn't understand the cause and effect that forced him to shut his doors.

So, how much have you heard about the Louisiana flooding?

Remember Hurricane Katrina?  Every single news station was blaring that Bush didn't do enough, it was Bush's fault, FEMA was horrible, it was Bush's fault, Bush should have moved the hurricane somewhere else, and it was Bush's fault.

Compare and contrast that to how the media is treating the Stuttering Clusterfuck of Failure Obama's vacation, where he can't even be bothered to make a statement about the flooding that's killed eleven people and forced hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes.  Too busy golfing, don't you know.  And besides, there's no way for the media to demonize the Republicans, so they don't really want to do any actual reporting.  Hey, Trump said something mean!  Let's ignore Hillary's criminal activities!

In Milwaukee, the Black Lies Matter movement fostered by Obama and the Democrats, funded by George Soros, has burned down businesses, shot police officers, all because a black officer shot a black criminal who refused to drop a gun.  In response, CNN selectively edited out the criminal's sister screaming for the crowd to go into the suburbs and "burn their shit down".

The media is all in for Hillary.  The media is all in for their Democrat masters.  The masks are off, and they don't even bother pretending to be objective any more.

Just keep that in mind when you read or hear another breathless report about how horrible Trump is doing.  The media will sell their own families into Islamic slavery in order to get Hillary elected.

Establishment Candidate that GOPe wants to use to siphon votes from Trump is the kind of Establishment asshole you'd expect

That is to say, there's not a damn thing about him that's conservative.

He loves the Seattle Seahawks, John Boehner, and Paul Ryan. In three years of Facebook posts, he never commented on a domestic issue, economic or social. He never said anything on any specific issue that a diehard Democrat couldn’t applaud.
..
After I scoured Evan McMullin’s Facebook page, I went to his website, wherein he says he’s very pro-life, but the only policy he commits to is no taxpayer financing of abortion; he boasts of support for adoption; and he commits to virtually nothing concrete on any issue, much less religious liberty, trying, I suppose, to be a unifier through vagueness, as many consultants would no doubt advise.

As far as I can tell., this guy's main qualification for running is the fact that he's Mormon.  That's about it.  Oh, and his support for Amnesty.  No, really.  Evan McMullin is exactly what you think an Establishment Candidate would be.  He's a fucking parody, only he's being presented as the anti-Trump choice.

Well, he is the anti-Trump choice, but not in the way he thinks he is.  McMullin is a living, breathing example of why Trump won the nomination in the first place.

Things what make me laugh out loud

Just as the half-liter is too small and the liter is too large compared to the drinking perfection of a pint, so too is the 5k evidence in the hubris of trying to make real life fit into the metric system.

From here.

HE WHITE! BEAT HIS SHIT!

You can see the video of feral thugs going tribal here.

I don't think these feral thugs understand just how badly they would lose if they get the race war they so desperately want.  At the end of the video, you can see gangs of ferals surrounding cars and throwing rocks, smashing windows, punching, kicking....

If that were me in that car?  Folks, if my wife and I were being attacked by gangs of feral thugs, and I was sitting in my car?  It's very easy to pop the clutch, turn the wheel, and remove five or ten feral thugs from the gene pool.  At the very least I'm breaking legs or arms as I run them over, and those feral thugs are going to stop assaulting people for a little while.

I'd like to point out that Milwaukee has been run, owned and controlled by either Democrats or Socialists since 1908.  That's almost a century of Marxist control.  And according to the Black Lies Matter movement, Milwaukee is a hotbed of racism and oppression.

Huh.  Go figure.

Dear Rose McGowan

You were a moderately successful, somewhat talented actress.  You haven't made anything worth watching in years.  You are most famous for dating noted Satanist and shock-rocker Marilyn Manson and wearing a dress that allowed your tits and ass to hang out.

So please, tell me just why you think you're qualified to make statements such as "Trump is murder in the making".

Or better yet, don't.  Just shut up, show me your tits, and go back to whatever obscure crap you've been doing these days.  I don't need to be lectured on anything by some amoral Hollywood dumbass who thinks that "Here There Be Dragons" is printed on maps between the I-5 and I-95.

The Rot Goes Deep

When reports from CENTCOM have been doctored to make ISIS seem less....  terrorist-ish, and to paint US efforts as being successful, you have to ask just how far down the rot goes.  And unfortunately, there's no real way of knowing, other than it goes far too far.

In a troubling new report this week, House members concluded what many long suspected: Reports at the US Central Command, which oversees military efforts in the Middle East, were deliberately doctored to present a false and rosy picture of US efforts against ISIS. 

It’s the first official confirmation of whistleblower complaints that intelligence analysts’ assessments were routinely manipulated by top brass. Indeed, the report found 40 percent of the analysts “experienced an attempt to distort or suppress intelligence analysis” during a one-year period.  

All this fits with President Obama’s attempts to paint ISIS as merely a “JV team” and claim the group had been “contained.”

Obama is a worthless fucking liar, and rather than tell the truth about ISIS he had his people change the intel reports to line up closer to his lies.

The fact that he has an approval rating around 50% tells me that this country is fucked.  Because if people are so stupid and blind to still support that lying Marxist anal-wart, after everything that as come out, it means that there's no amount of truth, logic, fact or reasoning that can be used to penetrate those skulls, short of leading with a .30 caliber penetrator.
