08:35 – Work continues on building science kit subassemblies and finished kits. We built two dozen of the biology kit regulated chemical bags yesterday. We had sufficient bottled chemicals to do three dozen, but I like keeping some bottled chemicals in reserve, since many of them are used in different types of kits.
We’ll get biology kit un-regulated chemical bags built today, along with another batch of finished biology kits. I also need to order a couple of items that we’re running short of. And, of course, we need to track down all the individual items that go into finished kits. They’re all up here, somewhere. We’ll work today and tomorrow on getting them organized.
It’s still a bit chilly. The forecast low for tonight is 14F (-10C), with winds of 20 to 30 MPH gusting to 40 MPH (64 KPH). I’m not sure what that makes the official wind chill, but it must be down around -40F/C.
BTW, I like these vitamin C chewables (they are cheaper at Costco):

One guy I got emails from who ran one prepping site has apparently sold that one and started a new one here:
http://1776patriotusa.com/about-me/
There is probably gonna be a lotta useful info and intel and commentary on his new site but then he goes and farts out this:
“I will leave you with this quote from the greatest President that ever lived – Ronald Reagan:”
Ronnie Ray-gunz was just another useful tool for the oligarchy that runs the country and as for being “conservative” he was yet another joke like the other one the neocons and Fox Nooz enthusiasts like to enthuse over: Nixon. Conservative they were not; just two more big-gummint mouthpieces that had decent speechwriters, like Pat Buchanan and Peggy Noonan.
And to put Ray-gunz into the same class as men like Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson, and Cleveland-times-two is ridiculous.
Ronald Reagan’s big claim to fame was that he followed Jimmy Carter. That was a very low hill to cross. Jimmy Carter kept on running down the USA (remind you of anybody???). Reagan did exactly what the country needed and deserved, he was the head cheerleader for the USA. He made me proud to live in the USA again.
Note that the Ronald Reagan did not start any wars. Grenada was an excellent exercise of the USMC. Beirut was not when our supposed allies drove a truck bomb into the Marines camp. Other than that, Reagan did not get us embroiled in any multiple decade nightmares such as Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, etc. Oh yeah, Reagan bombed Gaddafi’s palaces and killed his family in order to stop his support of terrorism. Worked too.
We could do worse than Ronald Reagan. Yup, Obola. He is a horrible President and will be known as such.
No President has made me proud to live in the U.S. None. Not in my lifetime. War criminals and thieving parasitical, lying scum, every one. Obola is merely the worst so far. Of course, that’s without reading any history and recalling the Great Eliminator. Or Professor Wilson, who promised American mothers their boys wouldn’t be sent off to any foreign wars. Then we had Pharaoh Roosevelt II, who eagerly ramped up the Mega-State and got us embroiled in the Good War. You know, that war where our enemies became our best buds, and our pals the Russians became our worst enemies, apparently in perpetuity.
Ronnie? Merely a caretaker, a figurehead, who skated the Good War through his acting ability, such as it was, and ratted out his fellow union brothers and sisters. Just another janitorial placeholder who had a few good lines supplied to him by speechwriters that apparently gave funny tingles up and down neocon legs for a while.
Our last decent Prez was Grover Cleveland; O for his like again! As we get rid of the worthless Senate and set up term limits for the House and ban lawyers from it. While replacing the majority of SCOTUS with justices who do what they’re supposed to, not engineer commie social policy. Term limits also for the gummint bureaucracy.
Last justifiable war this country fought? None. Zero. None of them. All could or should have been avoided. Every last one. Otherwise what’s the point of diplomacy, state departments and ambassadors? Pretty useless, seems to me.

“And by the end of the short article you will see the future with Trump winning over 65% of the vote in the general election.”
Wow, that is a bold prediction. Lots of people want Mrs. Santa Claus for Pres.
OFD is writing in Guy Fawkes.
I am writing in OFD. With his positive attitude what could go wrong?
Thanks, Mr. Ray; Once I get in, I will kick off the plans I summarized above, shortly after which, I’ll most likely be assassinated by multiple hit squads of commie hadjis sent out by the contributions of everyone to the left of me and Patrick J. Buchanan.
Actually, I won’t get in at all, because the ruling junta won’t allow it; I seriously doubt they subscribe to my views or me to theirs.
But yo, thanks anyway; you alright, bro; I don’t care what they say.
Watching the SOTU for the first time in 15 years. Odooshnozzle raving about our great economy and biggest job creation in history because of him. He wants more jobs, for his MooSlim imports I guess. Also how great NCLB is. lol Pre-K for all on his list. Head Start’s massive failure shows how good the gummint is at education. Now its innovation. Using the tired old “we walked on the Moon” canard. lol Making it sound like Biden will cure cancer! HFS putting Biden in charge of curing cancer! What a joke. How many billions will be spent before a dime goes to research. Wind and solar are saving us millions. Climate Ejaculation! Get away from dirty fossil fuels! Better transportation system. And on and on with the lies.
“Watching the SOTU for the first time in 15 years.”
Better you than me, I guess; dunno how you stand it. Spewing nothing but lies and bullshit, and I’m guessing fewer millions are on their knees genuflecting nowadays since they’ve had a chance to see their boy in action for seven years. Hey, assholes, how you like that hopey-changey thang now? As for Biden, he needs to find a friggin’ cure for bipolar disorder ASAP.
OFD is watching “Bridge of Spies,” to see how we hunted commies in the bad old days, you know, when Tailgunner Joe was all drunk and making up phony lists of commies infesting the gummint? Except, funny thing; Joe was absolutely fucking right. I see the same old commie sons of bitches are now flogging the “Breaking Bad” star on a bullshit biopic of well-known commie piece of shit, Dalton Trumbo.
Here’s the thing, OFD’s historical POV: the commies beat our pants off when they ran their Long March through our major cultural institutions in the West since the 1930s. This has left us with our pants down around our ankles now as we face the same old hadji scum we’ve been fighting since the Crusades. Ordinarily I’d put it down to a mix of incompetence and malevolence aforethought, but to paraphrase the late Pope John XXIII, I’m getting a whiff of the smoke of Satan just outside the gates…actually just inside the gates, too…
lol I was looking at a list of Obuttwads previous promises. Every year was cure cancer. Now, with Biden in charge, it’ll get done in a year! He has a sad cause partisanship is worse now than he was coronated. Gee, I wonder why.

…ban lawyers from it
This. Lawyers should be advisers to Congress / Parliament, but should not actually hold the seats. Here, we have two professions that are massively overrepresented in our Parliament: lawyers and farmers. Out of principle, the first thing I do in any election is strike the names of anyone in either of these professions.
SOTU? Brief interval while I go see what the Swiss press has to say… According to the most respected political rag here, his main theme was the distrust between the two major parties, which is the reason he wasn’t able to achieve more during his time as President. Without naming him explicitly, apparently Obama campaigned against Trump. All problems are opportunities, the tired old Sputnik analogy, America is great, rah, rah. Sounds like a speech to have missed, which I did…
The cluelessnes, it burns…
‘She is diverse, that is the way she is written’: New Nancy Drew will not be white, CBS executive says
A Nancy Drew television show is being developed by CBS
Glenn Geller, the president of CBS Entertainment, has revealed: ‘[She will] not [be] Caucasian. I’d be open to any ethnicity’ <<<—except WHITE apparently
“‘We’re not casting color blind, we’re casting color conscious.’ ” if that’s not racist, I don’t know what is.

F these pandering, deluded fools.

That would be like casting someone of any race but white in the title role of Huckleberry Finn. Or the idea that the role of Injun Joe should be of any race but black. Wait, switching the racial background of Injun Joe and Huck Finn has a higher chance of actually working. This reminds me of those morons who think Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer are racist works by a racist author just because they contain the six letter word that starts with the 14th letter of the alphabet. I thought they were authored by an Abolitionist.
I’m just wondering how long it will be before someone forms a new organization called NAACP, National Association for the Advancement of Caucasian People.
Or WET (White Entertainment Television)
Or a White Congressional Caucus
Or a Miss White America pageant
Or a Society of White Engineers
Oh wait, those would be racist. But substitute black for white in each of those and you have very real organizations.
@RBT – don’t you know that us white folk cannot organize, that would be considered anti-diversity and a terrorist act. Also the IRS would not like it. Like IGAS. Go for it.
I like Sovereign Man’s take on Obuttwads SOTU.

And the final outrage, the seizure of our 2 Naval Boats and 10 Sailors by Iran. The tales of that event stink to high heaven and make no sense. Iran State Media is showing video of our Sailors happily eating a meal (the one Lady Sailor has her head covered of course). Obuttwad has handed Iran a nice piece of propaganda.
I am staying home today, after the two above events my trigger is hair. 😉
Or a country radio station with bumper stickers saying White Power.

But a site for straight whites? VERBOTTEN!! BADTHINK!! They’ll breed!

As I’ve been saying for decades, discrimination (racial or otherwise) by individuals and private companies is not only acceptable, but Constitutionally protected. Discrimination in any form by any government entity is completely unacceptable.
That’s why, for example, I support gay marriage. The government created laws and regulations that discriminate against single people, whence the need for gay people to be able to marry. If the government just got out of the business of discriminating for or against married people, there’d be no need for any laws to allow gay marriage.
If we’re going to tax people, tax them as individuals, not based on their marital status. If we’re going to have HIPPA, gay couples need to be able to marry. Get the government out our lives entirely, and all these contentious issues pretty much go away.
One shouldn’t need a government license to marry, start a business, drive a vehicle, etc. Or, for that matter, to practice law or medicine. Let the customer beware.
If a gay couple want to marry, as an ordained minister I’ll be happy to marry them. I don’t care what the government or anyone else thinks or has to say about it.

That’s exactly what it feels like most days that I bother to pay any attention to the nooz. Or Mirror World. Bizarro World. Everything the opposite of what it should be.

So he’s homosexual himself and “married” to another one and there’s that funny surname again out in Hollyweird. This is a surprise? Sure, they’ll make Huck Finn into an opera with the main character a gay Chinese girl and Jim will be a dumb and crazy white guy. The Hardy Boys: gay black midgets. Nancy Drew a hadji paraplegic tranny.
See, if they bombard us constantly with the mythology that almost everyone in the West is some kind of minority or grievance whore, peeps who suck up the MSM for hours every day will gradually come to believe that it’s just the way things are and nothing to get upset about. So with homosexuals they peddled the notion that they comprise at least ten percent of the population, and this is still the accepted CW despite some of their own publishing an academic study that showed it was more like between one and three percent. You watch the tee-vee shows and movies and all the smart and brave and funny main characters are black, Hispanic, Asian, or gay, and ABW, anything but white; whites are dumbasses and crackers and goofy.
After decades of this, Mr. and Mrs. Boobus Americanus here in the U.S. of Amnesia come to believe, like the air they breathe, that the Hollyweird and NYT version is the Truth and everything else is False. Is this supposed to be some kind of equalizing, some kind of payback? If so, they will rue the day.
But the government’s intentions are always pure, and that excuses anything!
Very current example here: Most parts of Switzerland de-regulated restaurants a while back. Used to be, you had to take courses and pass a pretty serious exam before opening up your Kebap place, which meant that not many new places opened up. Anyhow, they got rid of this requirement in most places, and – surprise – lots and lots of new restaurants opened. Of course, many of them also failed. That’s life, people gave it a try, then went back to doing other things.
Well, our well-meaning bureaucrats can’t take it any more. All those poor people going bankrupt – how horrible. Let’s protect them from themselves, play “mommy”. More than half of Switzerland is again requiring courses and exams, before you can start up.
Idiots…
