09:47 – Barbara is off to the gym and supermarket. I just issued a PO for 10,000 15/415 bottle caps, which should hold us for a while. I remember the first time I ordered a carton (1,440) of those caps, and thought that was a lot. Then the first time I ordered a case of 10,000, I thought I had all the caps in the world and would never run out.
We repackaged some macaroni yesterday from the original 5-pound bags into clean, dry 2-liter soft drink bottles. We got 14 bags transferred into 24 2-liter bottles. We still need to label the bottles and add an oxygen absorber to each. Then there are the other 14 bags still sitting on the kitchen counter.
Barbara commented that this was more macaroni than we’d eaten in the 33 years we’ve been married. It isn’t, really. It just looks like a lot, sitting there in one place. Once we get this last batch repackaged, we’ll be up to about 475 pounds of pasta packaged for long-term storage. That’s enough to provide the grain portion of our diet for the five of us, including Colin, for about four months. The rice, white flour, and other grains we have stored extends that to about a year’s worth. And the 24 cans of Campbell Chunky Soup that arrived the other day can turn those grain products into 24 more tasty main meals.
The special session of the North Carolina house and senate that was called to repeal HB2 has failed, so it’s still illegal for perverts to use women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. The progs’ attempts to redefine biology has failed yet again, at least in North Carolina. People here are smart enough to understand that, other than a tiny number of monsters, there are exactly two sexes, male (XY) and female (XX), and two sexual preferences, gay (XX+XX or XY+XY) and straight (XX+XY). XX’s who believe they’re actually XY’s and vice versa are, to use the technical term, delusional, and people here understand that. And we understand that we’re under no obligation to humor their delusions.
You know, between your words today and Ray’s comment on yesterday’s post, I’m just not seeing the love here. That’s why our betters are replacing the American population. The immigrants come here from love, and Americans are just full of hate.
Once again the Hope n’ Change cartoon hits it on the head:

“The rice, white flour, and other grains we have stored extends that to about a year’s worth.”
Hmm. should I mention here the ‘Grain Brain’ book written by David Perlmutter? Probably, you already dismissed that book here..
Anyway, I’ll mention it, along with The Atlantic discussion about the book:
http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/12/this-is-your-brain-on-gluten/282550/
I don’t pay any attention to nutrition nutcases. There’s no science behind their claims.
“You know, between your words today and Ray’s comment on yesterday’s post, I’m just not seeing the love here. That’s why our betters are replacing the American population. The immigrants come here from love, and Americans are just full of hate.”
You may be right. How could I have been so blind? I’m now reconsidering my positions on everything.
Okay, I’ve reconsidered. I’m not changing my mind about anything. Fuck them.
I reserve the use of the word ‘monster’ for people like Bull Conner, Pol Pot, and your local child molester. People born with genetic sexual abnormalities are guilty of no sin for having done so, and are often afflicted with significant mental health problems as a result of their genetic errors. Polydactyly and blue eyes are also genetic mutations.
I was using “monster” in the scientific sense: things like XYY, true hermaphrodites, and so on. There’s no implication that such people are monstrous in the casual sense. I’m not talking about genetic variations, but rather about meiotic errors.
The special session of the North Carolina house and senate that was called to repeal HB2 has failed, so it’s still illegal for perverts to use women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.
What happened in North Carolina over the last couple of decades? The voters putting John Edwards into the Senate seemed to a turning point for the state.
What happened is what’s happening everywhere: the urban populations are growing faster than rural populations. Like nearly every other state, North Carolina is actually two states; a lot of Normals, more or less evenly distributed across urban, suburban, and rural areas, and a large (and increasing) number of progs, who are concentrated in the urban and suburban areas.
That’s why I’m in favor of extending the electoral college system down to the state level. NC has 100 counties, the vast majority of which are heavily to overwhelmingly Normal. The prog vote is concentrated in maybe half a dozen counties. So I’d like to see elections for statewide and national offices go to an EC system. Whoever wins a majority (or plurality) of the 100 NC counties wins the election.
So I guess the Tunisian hadji finally got put down by, allegedly, a rookie Italian cop in Milan, after gallivanting around Europe for four days. Aren’t open borders beautiful? The religion of peace…
Of course their apologists always like to portray these scumbags as aberrations, just maniacal lone wolves among the greater peaceful Islamic world, certainly not representative of that world or the Q’ur’an. And this mythology was retailed to us in the West for decades by our own political “leaders.”
I’m in favor of not only whacking “aberrations” like this guy, but also putting down those political figures who’ve been lying to us all along, for treason. It’s the same as if we all lived in a castle surrounded by a moat with a gate and guards and the king and several princes and princesses and counselors let in, via lying and subterfuge, a bunch of the violent barbarian scum outside.
We need to not only deal with those barbarians, but also the king and his minions.
“The immigrants come here from love, and Americans are just full of hate.”
I suspect the most of the “hate” you’re seeing is really frustration. For years the elites in this country have ignored the citizens and have decided to remake the country into something that it’s not. It seems like every institution has come under attack and our way of life is being destroyed. People are frustrated.
And I’m not sure that the immigrants are here from love. I suspect it’s more the availability of jobs.
The Warren Court destroyed the balance of most state governments with ‘One man- one vote”. It would have applied it to the federal government if it weren’t explicitly in the constitution.
When California had to reset its state senate from 2 per county to population representative districts it moved all the power to Los Angeles. We clearly see the result of that today.
“…it’s still illegal for perverts to use women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.”
What about normal guys using the powder room, and normal wimminz using the gents? I thought you were okay with that. I’ve been in the gents when it’s been invaded by young wimminz who don’t want to wait for a stall in the powder room. I don’t mind, but I’m annoyed that a guy would get 20 years in the slammer for using the ladies room.
“When California had to reset its state senate from 2 per county to population representative districts it moved all the power to Los Angeles. We clearly see the result of that today.”
I’m hoping the prog states will secede.
I’m not particularly concerned personally, but it’s certainly true that adult men are much more likely to molest little girls than adult women are to molest little boys.
This maniacal insistence on increasing the age of consent has had the effect of lumping ephebophiles into the same category of pedophiles, and it’s just stupid. It also grossly skews the sex statistics. Nearly all of the women who have been charged with “sex crimes” are women over 18 years old who are charged with having sex with teenage boys. There was another of those in the morning paper, a 41-year-old female teacher charged with having intercourse with teenage boys. That’s not pedophilia, it’s normal.
Drudge has a red headline, top left column. The Liberals are going to actually become dangerous, mainly to themselves IMHO.

Now let’s get back to FLASHLIGHTS and TOILETS 😉
Local rag had a story today about instructional aide and sixteen yo boy.

both were coerced, right.
Now let’s get back to FLASHLIGHTS and TOILETS
So, I dropped my FLASHLIGHT in a loaded (not as in ammunition) TOILET……….
Anyone want a free flashlight?
“Aren’t open borders beautiful?”
In spite of that, the terrorists are been caught. Open borders have dramatically increase the cooperation between states agencies.
I think that it is a great achievement that 400 millions people in 26 european states have open borders and a common marketplace. It’s the best way to come to know each other, to educate each other. Romania still has work to do to be accepted as member of that (less corruption).
In the same idea of open borders, those 800,000 syrians that are now in Europe, will be the ones who will make Syria great again. I’ve seen the great, positive influence that Romanian diaspora had on Romania’s evolution, during and after the communism regime.
Open borders = education
Open borders = education
I agree. The problem we have in the US with illegal immigration is: no skills, no education, no jobs. These people then become dependent on US Federal and State guaranteed welfare. That has put a great burden on the taxpayers. Libturdians are pushing for socialism. Most people do not want that. The country wasn’t founded on that principle. The only answer is to deny non-citizens welfare benefits, get rid of the ridiculous “anchor baby” law, restrict continued ER care used for “health care”, etc. Then they can stay and pay their own way or go back home.
/soapbox
“Open borders = education”
Germans are being educated that their women, of whatever age, are up for grabs by the vast majority of hadjis who are young males of military age, and that their unarmed and defenseless civilian population is at the mercy of hadji scum, too. Yes, that particular hadji was caught and shot, or so they say, but in the four days he was free as a bird over there, he could have grabbed more trucks to drive through crowds, couldn’t he?
“I’ve seen the great, positive influence that Romanian diaspora had on Romania’s evolution, during and after the communism regime.”
I thought Romania was once again and pretty much the whole time governed by crooks and thieves and the army junta??
“those 800,000 syrians that are now in Europe, will be the ones who will make Syria great again.
When was Syria great?? In ancient times?? It will never be “great.”
And now our wonderful political nabobs and potentates wish to bring the joys of such education and achievements here, and have already started importing countless hadjis from the Middle East and Africa, and amazingly a lot of them are young males of military age and very, very few genuine Christian refugees. Some of them have educated us already, in Orlando, San Bernadino, and NYC. We fail to appreciate this achievement, perhaps.
Open borders>>>unlimited and unvetted immigration>>>education, knowledge and achievement….or this:

Actually it’s still perfectly legal for the “transgendered” to use the bathroom that they want to use in North Carolina. They just have to get their sex on their birth certificate changed to match the sex they “feel” that they are.

I just figured out what Weiner’s phone ringtone is:

The best version ever, gotta admit. The Grateful Dead’s first several albums were great, right up through “Workingman’s Dead” and the New Riders of the Purple Sage phase, but after that they sucked. I blame it on the death of Ron “Pigpen” McKernan:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_%22Pigpen%22_McKernan
Who had “a substantial rifle collection.”
“Open borders = education”
It won’t happen over night, it won’t be only positive. But it’s the least painful process for everybody. Europe is the best example. But who can now assert how many wars have been avoided?
Closed societies leads to wars. Earth is too small to avoid conflicts between them. That’s way, interaction is needed, so they get to know each other. It’s a very bad thing that a state like North Korea exists.
“I thought Romania was once again and pretty much the whole time governed by crooks and thieves and the army junta??”
Without diaspora and occident influence, Romania could had been another North Korea.
Today, the crooks are less powerful, because Ro is a state of law. The crooks will deteriorate some things, change some laws, destabilize the economy, but we’ll still keep our state of law. No army junta exists today, and no danger from it.
FIFY.
I can’t find it now, but a couple months ago I saw a report showing that under a quarter of the working-age “refugees” were working within IIRC two years of getting to the US. IIRC, in getting that under-a-quarter, those who’d been here under three months were excluded.
Other reports have shown a higher rate of violent crime among the “refugees” than is the norm for US citizens.
So, you take a group of “refugees” with no marketable skills and you bring them to The Land of the EBT Card, and they sit around, don’t work, and commit more than their share of crimes. Who ever would have guessed such a thing?
To be clear, I didn’t mean any of what I wrote up top. I was just joking around. Can’t even consider it to be a troll because for it to be trolling I’d have had to had some expectation or hope that someone would take it seriously, and in order for someone to take that nonsense about “come here out of love” seriously he’d have to be really dum—
Ohhhhh…
“When was Syria great?? In ancient times?? It will never be “great.”
Ok, I paraphrased Trump here. Syria will go through hard times under Russians and Iranians control, but it will have a great diaspora that will care for their country. It may take dozens of years, but they’ll make it.
“…I’d have had to had some expectation or hope that someone would take it seriously…”
Hey, I took it seriously and have gone about mending my ways accordingly. No more hate from me. Can’t we all just…get along??
RIP Rodney King.
And I note that Prince Vlad has sent sort of Xmas greetings to us and would like to visit. I say, hooray. No nukular war with the Russians. Now all we gotta worry about is the Chicoms and Norks. Which is plenty. I hope Vlad and Don can get together and work something out about eradicating and obliterating all the hadjis ASAP, though.
Oh crap, there I go again with the hate and bigotry…
“Germans are being educated that their women, of whatever age, are up for grabs …”
And that won’t happen again, not at that level anyway…
“And that won’t happen again, not at that level anyway…”
Has there been some new crackdown by German police and armed forces at the behest of a suddenly changed government dictate that we are unaware of over here? Are German men rising up to defend their women and their country?
No, it’s just a result of past experience: both sides became aware of each other; educated… One part will restrain themselves, the other will be more preventive.. Yes, it’s just my judgement. I guess we’ll find out soon: there only a few days til New Year’s Eve..
The other side won’t restrain themselves, they’ll have less oportunities because women will be more cautious and German males more protective.
“No nukular war with the Russians.”

“One part will restrain themselves…”
And that part will be the country’s government and populace. The hadjis have zero incentive or desire to restrain themselves, over there or over here. Why should they? They assault, rape and murder with impunity until they are stopped here and there individually by being shot, eventually, and that’s OK with them, too. It’s a win-win for them.
That’s what crucifixion is for. Blowing yourself up to kill infidels? Martyrdom, and drawing more recruits to the glory of the cause. Getting shot while waging war on infidels? Martyrdom, and drawing more recruits to the glory of the cause. Being crucified and left there until you die? “Hey, Mohammed?” “Yes, Mohammad?” “That looks like it really sucks.” “I think so, too. I’m starting to have second thoughts about what the imam’s been telling us.”
Oh, but wait until they get a load of my proposed retribution for raping the native women. It’ll make crucifixion look not really all that bad.
The wife made two 12 inch deep dish pumpkin pies this morning for the family Christmas dinner at our house tonight. And she made a 12 inch deep dish pecan pie last night. This morning, I ventured that a piece of pumpkin pie and a piece of pecan pie would be a great breakfast. She ventured that I don’t need all of my anatomy.
“” This morning, I ventured that a piece of pumpkin pie and a piece of pecan pie would be a great breakfast. She ventured that I don’t need all of my anatomy.

I didn’t touch no pie. I know better than that. I’ve gotta sleep sometime. And according to her, I sleep too much.

Look how women are treated in their culture. SJW and Libturdians here turn a blind eye to women being chattel in the Arab culture.
Went to see Rogue One in 3D on Wednesday. Today I went to see Passengers in 3D. Both excellent movies. It is amazing what can be done with computer generated images. The 3D was exceptional in both movies. Never got in the way with stuff appearing to come out to the audience, just became part of the movie.
I recommend both movies, in 3D.

For those of you who do not get the NRA ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) emails, this one, as most, has more disturbing information on the destruction of our Second Amendment Rights (these dip wads do not understand what the phrase “… shall not be infringed” means).

There is no doubt in my mind that Obuttwad and his entire dis-administration are guilty of treason, mutiny and sedition, high crimes and misdemeanors, and crimes against humanity. Too bad there are so few of us left who actually had a basic education that included history and The Constitution.
The snowflakes who continue to support the Obuttwad dis-Administration and lament the fact that Hitllary lost to a protection built into The Constitution are also guilty of all the above and deserve a place against the wall with all the others.

“SJW and Libturdians here turn a blind eye to women being chattel in the Arab culture.
Indeed, as I have said here and elsewhere countless times. Woman of whatever age being treated worse than they treat their livestock; women taken in open carts or in vans to soccer stadiums in Kabul and shot or stoned to death before jeering mobs; girls raped and then murdered for dishonoring the family while the rapists go off scot-free, etc., etc. What do we hear from all the fembats in the West? Crickets.
Or the homosexuals they routinely murder; what do we hear from the “LGBTXYZ community” in the West? Crickets.
“safely home.”
And praise be to G, F, S. and HG, or if one prefers, the FSM.
“and deserve a place against the wall with all the others.”
OFD sees eye-to-eye on everything Mr. DadCooks says in his latest post above, and then some. And yup, I get all the NRA commo as I am a voting Patron Life Member and have been for many years now. The NRA had a significant hand in the recent National Administrator election, and many millions of our dollars. Thanks be to G, F, S. and HG again.
Semper Paratus
OFD may be offline or intermittent over the Xmas weekend due to multiple amusing family commitments here at home and then 32 miles south of here, and won’t be back until late Xmas night or the day after, Monday.
So for those who participate, a very Merry Christmas and for those who do not, a very happy Solstice or just a happy fucking weekend, how’s that?
