Dinner was great last night. A LOT of wine consumption and many empty plates. Crabcakes were a huge hit and veal turned out awesome; used some smoked chicken stock that I'd made and frozen a coupla months ago. One of the B-day guests brought a bottle of '95 ________. Hint: we discussed this particular brand last week. It was...okay. A little dusty on the finish. The Montelena was darn near perfect. No significant raid on the cellar save for a '00 Vieuve Cliquot Rose that was otherworldly.
The media is the problem. They have as many facts at their disposal as we do but only use the ones that advance their agenda. Fox News Sunday may try to be "fair and balanced" but they do nobody any favors by giving a forum to a transparent grifter like Shakedown Jackson.
There was local news coverage of a BLM rally in downtown Cleveland this morning. First of all, there weren't many people there; certainly not enough to merit prominent placement in a news broadcast. Second, the woman they interviewed seemed like a nice and reasonable person. Not sure if that was a camera persona and that she's, underneath it all, a rabble rouser with a roaring case of envy against anybody better off than she is but none of my scam detectors moved off of zero. My point is that since the Hough and Glenville riots this has been an area mostly free of racial strife which forms a lot of the basis, I think, of maryrose's optimism for how the convention will proceed.
That office, who seems relatively young, shows us a sound mind and character. It pleasantly surprises that he would do that sort of research, make all the right decisions about it, and reach such sound, if painful, conclusions.
CH has it right. They know all of this.
None of what the Left does is in in=gnorace, though they may push out in front of them useful idiots in the hopes that we will try to reason with them.
It is never the case that there is a lack of knowledge among the real Left.
They hate us and want to destroy us. Again, it is not a matter of politics, suasion, or morality. It is war. Diversity is a weapon in that war.
The media is hugely responsible for all the turmoil and divisions in this country. Look at how NBC doctored the tapes in the George Zimmerman trial and how they promoted the hands up don't shoot meme. That was one of the biggest propaganda wins for the whole BLM movement. Infuriating!!
henry-want to take me up on a bet that the blm budgeting is tied to an insistence on using Restorative Justice techniques in every classroom?
Just had the oddest coversation at the BH whole foods which is now the only place that carries what my vegetarian who doesn't like veggies wants as her pesto sauce. I wait at the butcher counter but eyeing it there doesn't appear to be any ground chuck. I ask and they say they are out and the lady standing next to me starts to leave too as "that was also what I wanted."
The butcher starts yelling at us that ground round and ground chuck are "the same" and what is important is the fat ratio of 85/15. Now they are in fact not the same and chuck is usually 80/20 and when it is not I don't buy it. Either the butcher normally works in produce or he believes people in BH do not cook. Whatever is going on I believe this tendency to see race when what is actually going on is not having a product or recognizing you are being lied to is going to get worse.
I was very good and just rolled my eyes at the false claims. Hopefully I got enough pesto to last until the diva leaves for college.
The media are only doing what they are told. It misses the point to blame "the media" in an of itself. It is just one more arm of the Left.
It is the Left that is to blame. It is of course true what you say about NBC, but they do not do that out of some business reason. They are controlled by the Left. They were long ago completely infiltrated and turned--long before the USSR collapsed.
The history of TV broadcasting is a textbook case of the New Dealers using licensing to insure that their side has control of media. IT is true that until the 60s more moderate element of the New Dealers had some sway on broadcast media, but that all went away during the Viet Nam war.
If you want clear proof of this just look at the stateside coverage of the Tet offensive.
Again, they are propaganda organs in a larger war.
Could a facial expression look more practiced than DeRay's during his arrest? He's entirely focused on getting the money shot of him calmly looking into the camera lens, obviously aware he has nothing to fear from the police forced to deal with his skinny, insignificant self.
rse, no doubt on the restorative justice... that was the fallback when talk radio and the state assembly caught onto the budget item for #blm counsellors. The end result (election pending) will be a reduction in state aid to MPS of a multiple of the budget amount -- if not ending and dismembering the district into independent schools (with many closed to account for lower population).
...this has been an area mostly free of racial strife which forms a lot of the basis, I think, of maryrose's optimism for how the convention will proceed."
imho Iggy nailed it with "hence the buses." Daddy Soros helped with Ferguson and USA Today reported

Fixed for 'em.
Who else enables commie agitators to be in Dallas one day and the next in NYC before moving on to another planned protest?
Nominally independent. A new acronym popped out of this morning's reading--PDM. Political Discipline Mechanism is the real reason why -evidence-based', poorly understood performance measures are called for in the documents governing that 'independent' school. It's how policy gets invisibly specified. No compliance, no renewal.
It's why I so often found abhorent language whenever I actually read the charters.
I just love a good acronym used by insiders. Also GCG--government checking government is how the central authority forces compliance while still allowing some adaptation to local circumstances.
If it's the brand I'm thinking of..a few years ago they hired a guy that had wine rated in the 100% area. Haven't heard too much on that front. Hope his palette is still in the mix.
Chiming in on the media - and when they get caught lying (Brian Williams), plagiarizing (Jayson Blair), doctoring documentaries (Katie Couric)....what happens?
Brian Williams - back on the air (MSNBC)
Jayson Blair - Life Coach (For the past two years, he has been quietly working as a certified life coach for one of the most respected mental health practices in northern Virginia.)
Katie Couric - zip
Is it any wonder they have no fear of being caught and can spew lies and their twisted ideas with impunity?
I've mentioned "the buses" in the context of the Sierra Club chartering buses to transport proponents of the National Monument in Maine to meetings in northern Maine.

Just turned on FOX News Sunday to see Jesse Jackson on with Shannon Bream, following video of Trump's remarks on the cop killings, saying:
"I submit to you that when you do the "Birther Movement" on the President which is a (unintelligible) version of Anti-Black, the Anti-Mexican, the deportation of 15 Million people, of families, the disruption, the Anti-Muslim, that kind of rhetoric has set to seed these clouds..."
So here you go. Trump is the reason for the Racial violence in this country.
In a mere 11 days, arrogant, selfish actions by the Clintons contaminated three of the purest brands in Washington β Barack Obama, James Comey and Loretta Lynch β and jeopardized the futures of Hillaryβs most loyal aides.
Shocking that these are coming out now when there's a Presidential candidate with huge unfavorables who doesn't need her perv husband's past to be an issue:
We are getting the exact same coordinated blame shifting regarding Dallas as we did Orlando.
Again, note that in almost all cases the people getting shoot by the Polices are hardly innocents, and had they not been pushed by the Left they would just be local cases of policing.
Both are planned: the selection of incident used to incite the black communities, and the bizarre blame shifting.
Here the GOP as a group need to stand p and point out what is going on.
Again, what has Trump said that is "anti black"? This is the real tell: he has not said any such thing, but substantial portions of the black community are out labeling him as "anti black" They do not get this merely from the media, but local operative embedded in these organization or in their funding organizations.
It is not about "black lives" at all, but is a political operation.
Captain's 3:49 - "Callahan, 73, told Sherman that shortly before Ailes became Richard Nixonβs media adviser, the then-producer called her to ask her about coming down to the βMike Douglas Showβ and βto make sure I wore a garter belt and stockings.β"
A garter belt & stockings??? Exactly how long ago are we talkin' here?
It is kinda weird to see the generation that LOVED Hugh Hefner & Playboy & the sexual revolution...all whining about being sexually harassed.
"It is not about "black lives" at all, but is a political operation."
Importantly at pre-election time: In previous cycles, it was high gas because of evil conservative-backed corporations. Another time it's the evil money of Mellon Scaife now Koch Bros. Then came the perfectly timed WS financial collapse. In Sep 2011, the Occupoopers appeared to point out social and economic inequality worldwide awakening the SJW. One by one the strange legs of the Democrat party have had a day to rant and rage.
BLM seems to have drawn the gold ring on the Fleecing America Carousel. A new generation of race hustlers is supported by liberal enablers.
Headline at Drudge: All-Female 'GHOSTBUSTERS' Movie Panned: 'Unfunny Mess'...
What some wise and funny comics ought to do is quickly come out with a comedy about the morons trying to develop an "All Female GHOSTBUSTERS" Movie, and show how at every decision making point in the screenwriting, casting, and production, they decided on the Politicaly Correct choice, which ultimately dooms the unfunny mess.
As Dzul told us way back when: "Choose The Form Of The Destructor of the franchise!"
I guess it's asking too much for someone in the GOP to put on their big boy's pants and tell Zippy that going to Dallas is a bad idea, both from security reasons and for the families of the deceased to have the killer's enabler in their midst. Cruz? Cornyn? Step up boys or does Trump have to do all the heavy lifting?
Another #blm victim. Truly sad situation, bipolar football star (Affton High, SEMO) off his meds arguing with an off duty cop (who he knew from church), shot when he went to cop's home. They were arguing about #blm, the deceased may have been off his meds.
It is really outrageous, him going down there. Just pure egomania and narcissism.
If here were capable of doing anything to turn this around, he would publicly admit to some degree of culpability in this. That of course would open the door to what this is really about.
This man is a complete disaster. It is embarrassing and degrading to have him as POTUS.
Glad you agree, squaredance; when I first heard about it I was incredulous that nobody would try and talk that petulant jackass out of it. There are officially no adults in the White House.
Dana Perino and Kimberly Guilfoyle thought Obana should give
the eulogies for the slain Dallas police. Both stated how great
he was in Charleston. I thought at the time these two are insane.
Well, I still think there insane.
Of course he will make matters worse with his usual okiedoke false moral equivalence, blaming guns, stoking up the anger at police while pretending to decry the violence.
It's a two-fer for BHO. He can feign support for the police and at the same time emphasize HRC's command for white Americans to do some hard listening to the pain of the entire black so-called community. His going and performing a presidential "Barry Does Dallas" costs nothing but a few hours in AF1. The reward: he gets to hear his voice over the loudspeakers--the ultimate sweetest sound in the world.
"He walked over there and into a gunfight," Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. "When he got there he was met with a gun and the guy killed him."
I hope Mr. Brogan reads the article and gets the facts he apparently failed to receive before providing that quote. It seems ridiculous imo that this officer was put on administrative leave if the description of the deadly encounter are true.
Stephanie - at the end of your 90-hour work week, I bet your multiple sewing machines will be busy with grandmotherly NeNe-esque things to delight Savannah Grace. What fun!
I stayed with easy things like quilts, wall hangings and pillow cases for our gr-daughters.
Knitting was more fun for me. My husband built a simple rocking oak horse which I decorated.
Keep us posted.
MarD - I studied BHO early on and figured he had a pocket full of "get out of jail" cards. I did not know the full meaning of The Chicago Way, however.
I don't fault Obama for going to Dallas. I doubt that he wants to do it. But imagine the optics if he DOESN'T go. It will not look respectful. It will look like he does not think white lives or white cop lives matter. He does not want it to look like that.
Well, Obama does not think white lives matter or white cops' lives matter! He doesn't want to go but has decided to go for the optics. Don't remember his going to Orlando--he just sent Lynch to give some love.
ugh, kimberly is hawt as all out, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer, obama's one of the many parties who provided a pretext for the shooter,
if there were any news outlets worthy of the name, they would be tracking bpo members, who likely tipped off the shooter, pursuing the details about any foreign ties to him, which charles johnson might have overreached, but at least he's looking,
Eric Holder in 2015 in Cleveland re the 2-year DOJ investigation of the police there. A report released Thursday details a nearly two-year Justice Department investigation which found that Cleveland police use guns, Tasers, pepper spray and their fists excessively, unnecessarily or in retaliation. Officers also have used excessive force on those "who are mentally ill or in crisis," the Justice Department said.
No wonder there's a shortage of police. Imagine having to calibrate your level of "force" when dealing with a crazed behemoth going for your gun and then charging you like Michael Brown?
right. Well they use psychobabble like "Mentally ill or in crisis" because they are so imprecise and have such unclear legal meaning that they can twist it any way they want.
And shame on an "AG" who brings up a notion of "in crisis" that has little legal definition at all.
It is just another attempt to bully people. What an irresponsible idiot.
Shame on the GOP for allowing this to happen.
In fact, the federal government should not even be involved.
john schindler, who doesn't like general flynn, reminds in passing that inspector dreyfus's 'unshowy conservative' was one who blamed poland for the death camps, last year if memory serves,
I think slm is "SyrianLustsMatter" and the regional chapter head is the Charity the grouper of 13 yo girls is sponsored / funded by. CAIR is the Muslim brotherhood front organization that supplies Obama Admin workers from the "Religion of Peace [of jailbait ass]"

We are getting the exact same coordinated blame shifting regarding Dallas as we did Orlando.
Again, note that in almost all cases the people getting shoot by the Polices are hardly innocents, and had they not been pushed by the Left they would just be local cases of policing.
Both are planned: the selection of incident used to incite the black communities, and the bizarre blame shifting.
Here the GOP as a group need to stand p and point out what is going on.
Again, what has Trump said that is "anti black"? This is the real tell: he has not said any such thing, but substantial portions of the black community are out labeling him as "anti black" They do not get this merely from the media, but local operative embedded in these organization or in their funding organizations.
It is not about "black lives" at all, but is a political operation.

Captain's 3:49 - "Callahan, 73, told Sherman that shortly before Ailes became Richard Nixonβs media adviser, the then-producer called her to ask her about coming down to the βMike Douglas Showβ and βto make sure I wore a garter belt and stockings.β"
A garter belt & stockings??? Exactly how long ago are we talkin' here?

Superb old video of The Marty Stuart Show from the mid nineties with Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash [Marty Stuart's one time father-in-law] and Junior Brown.
Junior Brown is not only a guitar virtuoso, his style is utterly unique.
Excellent Sunday entertainment.

"It is not about "black lives" at all, but is a political operation."
Importantly at pre-election time: In previous cycles, it was high gas because of evil conservative-backed corporations. Another time it's the evil money of Mellon Scaife now Koch Bros. Then came the perfectly timed WS financial collapse. In Sep 2011, the Occupoopers appeared to point out social and economic inequality worldwide awakening the SJW. One by one the strange legs of the Democrat party have had a day to rant and rage.
BLM seems to have drawn the gold ring on the Fleecing America Carousel. A new generation of race hustlers is supported by liberal enablers.

Headline at Drudge: All-Female 'GHOSTBUSTERS' Movie Panned: 'Unfunny Mess'...
What some wise and funny comics ought to do is quickly come out with a comedy about the morons trying to develop an "All Female GHOSTBUSTERS" Movie, and show how at every decision making point in the screenwriting, casting, and production, they decided on the Politicaly Correct choice, which ultimately dooms the unfunny mess.
As Dzul told us way back when: "Choose The Form Of The Destructor of the franchise!"

I guess it's asking too much for someone in the GOP to put on their big boy's pants and tell Zippy that going to Dallas is a bad idea, both from security reasons and for the families of the deceased to have the killer's enabler in their midst. Cruz? Cornyn? Step up boys or does Trump have to do all the heavy lifting?

Another #blm victim. Truly sad situation, bipolar football star (Affton High, SEMO) off his meds arguing with an off duty cop (who he knew from church), shot when he went to cop's home. They were arguing about #blm, the deceased may have been off his meds.
Tragedy, about to become political event.

It is really outrageous, him going down there. Just pure egomania and narcissism.
If here were capable of doing anything to turn this around, he would publicly admit to some degree of culpability in this. That of course would open the door to what this is really about.
This man is a complete disaster. It is embarrassing and degrading to have him as POTUS.

It's a two-fer for BHO. He can feign support for the police and at the same time emphasize HRC's command for white Americans to do some hard listening to the pain of the entire black so-called community. His going and performing a presidential "Barry Does Dallas" costs nothing but a few hours in AF1. The reward: he gets to hear his voice over the loudspeakers--the ultimate sweetest sound in the world.

"He walked over there and into a gunfight," Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. "When he got there he was met with a gun and the guy killed him."
I hope Mr. Brogan reads the article and gets the facts he apparently failed to receive before providing that quote. It seems ridiculous imo that this officer was put on administrative leave if the description of the deadly encounter are true.

I don't fault Obama for going to Dallas. I doubt that he wants to do it. But imagine the optics if he DOESN'T go. It will not look respectful. It will look like he does not think white lives or white cop lives matter. He does not want it to look like that.
Posted by: Theo | July 10, 2016 at 06:05 PM
Well, Obama does not think white lives matter or white cops' lives matter! He doesn't want to go but has decided to go for the optics. Don't remember his going to Orlando--he just sent Lynch to give some love.

Eric Holder in 2015 in Cleveland re the 2-year DOJ investigation of the police there.
A report released Thursday details a nearly two-year Justice Department investigation which found that Cleveland police use guns, Tasers, pepper spray and their fists excessively, unnecessarily or in retaliation. Officers also have used excessive force on those "who are mentally ill or in crisis," the Justice Department said.
No wonder there's a shortage of police. Imagine having to calibrate your level of "force" when dealing with a crazed behemoth going for your gun and then charging you like Michael Brown?

right. Well they use psychobabble like "Mentally ill or in crisis" because they are so imprecise and have such unclear legal meaning that they can twist it any way they want.
And shame on an "AG" who brings up a notion of "in crisis" that has little legal definition at all.
It is just another attempt to bully people. What an irresponsible idiot.
Shame on the GOP for allowing this to happen.
In fact, the federal government should not even be involved.
