Second attempt on Trump's life in two months. On Sunday September the 15th the former president was playing golf at his Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach FL. A Mr. Ryan Routh age 58 stuck the barrel of his rifle through the fence at the edge of the course. The weapon was an AK-style assault rifle with a multi-round magazine and a long--range scope. Trump was only 300-500 yards away. The Secret Service saw this opened fire and Routh was later arrested in a black Nissan on I-95. A fierce supporter of Ukraine with a history of business problems and being in court. Most recently lived in Hawaii but was a long-time voter in NC as a registered Democrat. A long social media trail and many media interviews.
We didn't lower the temperature the first time around it only went up. Will we cool the fierce and sometimes deranged anti-Trump rhetoric in the wake of the second assassination attempt? Probably not. Left-wingers gotta hunker down and double down. No pause for reflection. It will be put on the back shelf the news cycle goes so fast these days. Is this the new normal?
New normal? Apparently. Psychos running around with guns. I feel sorry for the Secret Service. Waiting for more details on the creep.
ReplyDeleteBig on recruiting people to fight in Ukraine. That much we know. Registered Dem in NC. Had a backpack on him, a box of ceramic tiles and a GoPro camera.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with a box of ceramic tiles? Flooring job? He was definitely bonkers over Ukraine, apparently voted for Trump in 2016-
ReplyDeletething is, he was all over the net and had been arrested several times on
nutty things. You may be right, weird might be the new normal.
In other weird news RFK Jr. once cut the head off a whale.
ReplyDeleteMy friend said once the media is weird. There could be ten assassination attempts on Trump and the media still won't blame left-wing rhetoric even though we're practically swimming in it. My point the two failed assassination attempts didn't happen in a vacuum. If things were reversed and there were two assassination attempts against Biden and or Harris I would bet dollars to doughnuts the media would be blaming right-wing rhetoric and the GOP. My grievance with the media is they're full of shit.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Although I wouldn't say the media is full of shit. They tend to run with whatever news is hot.
DeleteBut what's weird about the news media is they all say the same thing. Get 10 or 20 random strangers in a room and they'll have varied opinions about varied subjrcts. Get 10 or 20 journalists in a room and they all say the same thing about everything with the lone exception say of a Brit Hume. I mean what are the odds? The media is owned by what 6 major corporations? It's like a script goes out and they all follow it. Stepford journalists.
DeleteYou would be bored with a room full of explosives chemists.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the rhetoric war will go on, even though most have become disgusted. It is worse in the Holy Land these days. I was curious about the exploding cellphones among the Hezbalah operatives. The phones are quite small and full of electronics. Where do they stick the expl, how much, and what triggers the bang? Makes the Unibomber look like a rookie. Most of these EOD type
ReplyDeletebombs are triggered by lead styphnate (google if you like) which is
extremely sensitive to static. It is an ingredient in small arms primers, which is probably the source of the people doing it.
Question - Does the Apple Warranty cover the damage? Thankfully for the most part, we just holler at each other.
Now that you brought up the topic of the Middle East Netanyahu really really wants Trump to win again. I don't know how polling among Jewish people breaks down though.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, Netanyahu's popularity has gone up since he ordered the drafting of orthodox Jews. Trends here are pretty much the same, with Trump getting 25% of the US Jewish vote. But he is doing better with that demographic in some swing states like NY and PA. How's the head count at work?
ReplyDeleteShort-staffed and problems in Seafood.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering why Democrats are celebrating Dick Cheney Halliburton Warhawk's endorsement of Kamala Harris. Didn't they used to consider Cheney an evil guy the Darth Vader of American politics?
ReplyDeleteThey sure did. Probably thinking she can draw across the wide
Deletedivide? Like Trump and RFKjr - some sort of weird trophy.
Well said. Architect of the Iraq War. Dems used to be against that kind of stuff.
DeleteLooks like the Swiftian endorsement hasn't moved the needle very much except to keep her in the news. Swift that is.
ReplyDeleteHard to say. Bet Trump would have liked her to endorse him?
ReplyDeleteI myself didn't know Swift was so liberal. She started out with a country background and they ain't liberal by any stretch. Yes the coveted Swift endorsement.
DeleteWe need a quantum cubit computer. You got $10.000,000?
ReplyDeleteGeorgie Rose's D-Wave only goes for about 15 mil but can it figure out Yonkers taxes?
DeleteWeird polling out there. Saw a survey on my phone the other day do you blame Trump for his own assassination attempt? Some kind of causal link in some people's minds. Blame the victim? Thought we didn't do that.
ReplyDeleteSeems illogical. But back in the day, the Rebs blamed Lincoln. It's like if you get robbed, it's your fault for having so much stuff, right?
ReplyDeleteOr if you're driving and hit a tree who planted the tree there.
DeleteCurious about the chef job. Very confusing. For example -
ReplyDeletehttps://www.webstaurantstore.com/article/359/types-of-chefs.html?srsltid=AfmBOopEk9YVhOTXhSskQFeKNbQ9xjFvDvMIRg01Ue2rIHnX85xPjR7K there can be a complex hierarchy. Here, there are only one or two working as far as I can tell. Are cooks different from Chefs?
Gordon Ramsay said executive chefs do nothing. Then you have your head chef and your sous chef. Chef I worked with (only food markets for me) went to the prestigious CIA near Poughkeepsie. Cooking er culinary school they don't assassinate anyone. He said the teachers all said mise en place or everything in place is the most important thing. That might sound odd but imagine a surgeon who can't find his scalpel. I incorporate that in my own job makes a hard job easier. I think I annoy people but I insist on organization from my end.
ReplyDeleteMore - -
ReplyDeleteThe Culinary Institute of America. If an instructor there called a student a shoemaker it was considered the most derogatory term. With apologies to cobblers a shoemaker simply follows a recipe and nothing more. The CIA wants you to enhance the recipe. A recipe is only a guide. You're supposed to add your own touch a twist on the recipe. Embellish something. You shoemaker you!
So if a garnish my Cup-o-Soup with a sprig of parsley, the instructor would say what?
DeleteMy chef friend graduated there and one day took us on a tour of the place. Nice bakery where you can buy stuff that the students make. You see 'em mostly young working in the back. The school overlooks the Hudson with a nice spice and herb garden outside. Chef says the instructors can be tough and says one day an instructor yelled at a student to "lose the 'tude!". It's like a boot camp for aspiring chefs. You pull that crap up there they just might refund your tuition.
DeleteLike when Gordon Ramsay meets the Swedish chef?

I enjoyed that.
DeleteYes lol.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever search for Tiny Tim on YouTube delete it from your history right after you're done otherwise YouTube will send you the entire Tiny Tim song collection. It'll infect your whole feed.
Tiptoe Thru the through the Intel chip?
DeletePlace in town called Zany Graze - eclectic with all sort of odd things,
ReplyDeletea hanging bi-plane with Snoopy hanging on the wing. A ten foot tennis shoe, stuffed hammerhead shark, working traffic signal and a train running around overhead- you name it. This time the creative chef doctored the coleslaw with tiny cheese bits, raisins and some green veggie I could not identify. Pretty good. Is that the good old
chef school way?
I think chefs are bored. Ever since Rachel Ray put cinnamon in her beef stew I stopped watching her.
ReplyDeleteA bored chef sounds kind of dangerous. I'm not big on cinnamon, but I like beef stew. Especially the kind that Mrs. puts in a pot all day long, with onions, carrots, potatoes and no cinnamon. Some call that a New England dinner, probably other names as well. Alaskan visitors had Mexican while here. Apparently rare in Alaska. Too much of any fare and you get bored with it, I think.
