Happy Thanksgiving All!

How about that turkey!?!

HEALTH WARNING: Too much turkey can cause brain damage. Hillary advising Europe to retrain immigration to placate the populists? Just what is her message to Democrats in the United States?

And Hillary's psychoanalysis of right-wingers sounds like a classic case of projection, since she is clearly describing contemporary college campuses:

Clinton said rightwing populists in the west met “a psychological as much as political yearning to be told what to do, and where to go, and how to live and have their press basically stifled and so be given one version of reality.

“The whole American system was designed so that you would eliminate the threat from a strong, authoritarian king or other leader and maybe people are just tired of it. They don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.

“I don’t know why at this moment that is so attractive to people, but it’s a serious threat to our freedom and our democratic institutions, and it goes very deep and very far and we’ve got to do a better job of shining a light on it and trying to combat it.”

SO triggering! But one more thing for which to be thankful - with an anti-immigrant message like this, she won't be running.

Happy Thanksgiving to JOM.

I thank Mr. Maguire for this place where we’ve made friends and expanded families.

[Old Geezer]

I read this codswallop from Hillary Clinton and my ears start to tingle. Has this silly woman talked to a real average American in the last 40 years. I mean some auto mechanic in Ft. Collins Colorado or a cable repairman in Boise Idaho? If she had done so, she would be ashamed of herself for spouting this garbage. If you shined a light on Hillary's cranium, you'd see nothing but a vacuum and some chardonnay fumes.

[Another Bob]

I’m dead convinced she’s mentally defective. Senile dementia? Altzheimers? Just drunk all the time?

[Buford Gooch]

Thank you, TM, for hosting this site. It has been wonderful making new friends here. I am quite thankful for the host and the commenters. They brighten my life.

[Another Bob]

OG, same deal with the national “journalists”. Few really know anything about anything, and none would be caught dead actually socializing with “regular” people.

[Pinandpuller]

In a public speech on immigration, Hillary Clinton said: “I believe that when we have millions of hardworking immigrants contributing to our economy, it would be self-defeating and inhumane to try to kick them out.” In a leaked private speech delivered to Latin American bankers, she went further: “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it” (though she later claimed that she only meant borders open to energy). These statements, of course, drove the anti-immigration, pro-Trump Right crazy. Perhaps more revealing, however, is the convergence between the open-borders Left and the “respectable” pro-business Right that Clinton’s remarks epitomized. In a recent National Review article responding to Trump’s “nationalism,” Jay Cost wrote, “To put matters bluntly, we do not have to like one another, so long as we continue to make money off one another. That is what will keep us together.” In this monstrous sub-Thatcherism, the Buckleyites sound exactly like the liberal “cosmopolitans”—but without the glamour or flair for moral self-delusion.

According to an audio of the 911 call, Cruz, who was not in the store that day, received a phone call from his employees who were concerned about Ragland’s presence. “There is one guy who is sitting in the corner, hasn’t bought anything, he’s been sitting there for over 30 minutes,” Cruz told the dispatcher. “They’re kinda scared because he looks suspicious. He just keeps looking at the phone and looking at them.”

Cruz said that his all-female staff is “very cautious” due to past incidents involving robberies and homeless people shooting drugs in the restroom, and requested that police tell Ragland to “move along.” He also stated that Ragland was alone in the store.

Working as I do in the left-wing, trump-loathing environment of higher ed, I am ever grateful to everyone at JOM.

Thank you JOM💕

[Catsmeat]

Many Thanksgiving blessings to us all (every one)--

Jimnj, much appreciated the link to Bulgarian resistance to public Stalinist art--and just this afternoon I finally started Furst's Night Soldiers, which begins in 1943 in Bulgaria, with the Nazis horning in and the Communists making hay in their own way--a harrowing tale.

It was posted sometime this morning, but I much appreciated the video of Trump landing at Mar e Lago--he did not have to go and greet all those enthusiastic people, but he did anyway, and Melania and Barron came too--he must have signed two dozen MAGA hats for at least six minutes--what I found most interesting was the dead pained and anxious look of the SS guy to his immediate right--a not fully secure situation which obviously made him on the highest of high alerts--and Trump just does his thing. They must adore him but wish he wouldn't.

The host and hostess' daughter is a Canterbury Alumnus.

catsmeat,

jimnj, 10:12. I grew up with those skies, then we were gone for over 20 years, and then back again for about 20. Sometimes driving, sometimes just checking the southwest (because most of those storms come at us from that direction) you just have to shake your head and hope a tornado doesn't drop out of one of them. Really interesting Thanksgiving interlude.

One thing, sometimes the thunder or sound coming out of the storms sounds like a beast, that growls as it searches for you. Makes you sit up and listen. :)

I'm going to go watch "Silk" on amazon prime videos. I've gone thru season one, now in the middle of season two. Really enjoy the show. The main character has an accent so sharp and diamond bright, it cuts through opposing counsel and leaves them gasping. Really good BBC series.

Also, all of this chatter about just now watching Titus Welliver in Bosch. I recommended this show to y'all two years ago or more when Series One started and commented on how the character and stories came from Michael Connelly's series on Bosch. Can't believe you're just now discovering and talking about watching the videos. We even discussed which books to begin reading when I mentioned the video series. (Sometimes it seems like I'm talking to myself on here -- and, yes, I know it happens to everyone, so I don't need a lecture :) about this.)

But most CULT DUDES, off themselves. Jerry Brown, will die a millionaire, with several pensions. Jerry Brown has no conscience, and does not have the rational ability to look himself in the mirror.

[jim nj]

Narciso,

Re: Macron, agreed. Not popular at home, so he appeals to French nationalism to castigate American nationalism.

I don't see the usefulness of a European army since NATO already has one that is not up to snuff anyway.

If Macron is saying that he doesn't want the US involved in backing up Europe I'm OK with that. I would caution him that WWI and WWII, both show that to be an unwise position.

Hell, France wasn't even a NATO member from 1966 to 2009. Maintaining a separate command structure for all that time isn't much to recommend France to a European army. If they can't lead the damn thing, they'll probably quit on it, just like they did with NATO.

With Merkel wounded and retiring, is he trying to show leadership. I doubt that Poland, the Baltic nations, or anyone else in Eastern Europe is looking to him for leadership.

[GUS]

Macron, is a clown. He is a childish FOOL. He is seriously no different than OBAMA, who has believed that HE IS SMART and ABLE.

https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2018/11/22/thanksgiving-surprise-iran-warns-u-s-bases-aircraft-carriers-within-our-reach/

"Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards’ airspace division, said Thursday Iranian missiles stand ready to respond if America uses military force against Tehran."

Only Tehran? I assume he means all of Iran. Why say that today? And he is a more minor official. Bragging, meant for internal consumption, or putting us on notice. And his comments seem to imply a reactive response, not a first strike.

So what kind of missiles are we talking about?

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/irans-military-armed-the-teeth-missiles-21294

Ooh. Lots of road-mobile systems, but the missiles and carriers must need periodic maintenance.

So I assume we spend a lot of time tracking those suckers. Update the target map daily for both the ballistic and anti-ship missiles.

I also assume that Saudi Arabia and our bases have anti-missile systems in place.

I further assume that Iran's offensive abilities are these missiles, swarm fast boat attacks, and Quds Forces, or Shia Militias. I discount their air force.

While we might suffer some losses, I assume we have a plan to take of all this out as quickly as possible.

My question then, is if we take out Iran's offensive weapons, Quds Forces, militias, etc. Is Hezzbollah high on the secondary attack phase? Or is it on the first strike plan?

[jim nj]

Maybe I'm assuming too much about Iran and our plan to deal with them, but I don't see a need for boots on the ground in Iran. Maybe some special forces, but certainly not a large-scale invasion.

And I do think if we go after Iran, we go after Hezzbollah at the same time.

Internet technology is wonderful, but we all know that it can bite us on the ass though.

You don't have to do anything wrong to come under attack from hackers. Their are system vulnerabilities. All kinds of attacks that can take command of our computers.

The IOT, the internet of things, seems to be particularly vulnerable.

I want the underlying system to be as secure as possible. Having a Chinese company controlling that technology makes me cringe.

Not that I think they would come after me, I'm not important enough, but more economic espionage, the chance to control the cloud, or military communications is scary.

Women's event down to final 2 players. They drew 4 regular games and currently (literally, right now, this minute in Siberia) playing a set of tie breaks. The winner will be crowned Champion later today. A Chinese lady is the reigning champ and one of the finalists. A Russian lady is the other finalist.

The Men's event is in London. An American challenger is playing the Norwegian defending champ. Today is a rest day, all tied after 10 games with 2 to go. If still tied, they will play a tie break sequence for the title.
