¡Martes por la tarde, enlaces mexicanos!

I picked up a bunch of those bacon wrapped tenderloins from the local Kroger.  They were on sale so I froze a few but ate one on Sunday.  I typically sous vide steaks and sear them later in the day before serving, this way I don’t overcook since the center is exactly a 118 degrees medium rare.  Slow cooked bacon is weird.  It occurred to me I had fresh bacon on hand, and perhaps next time I’ll re-wrap when I go to sear.  Anyone else try this?

 

Enlaces!

Cue the Doors song.  This is the end…of Title 42.  Here’s why its the worst thing in the world, and we’re ALL GOING TO DIE in a stampede of third world migrants looking to steal everything you are worth.  Here’s why its a good thing.  In the end haven’t they pretty much been here the entire time?

Mexico’s central bank took a slightly more aggressive approach to this “inflation” thing that happened unexpectedly.  Since they don’t count food or fuel in the calculation either, its just as meaningless a measure as it is here.

Why does OnlyFans see Latin America as an emerging market?  Probably because its a reliable region where men still prefer women without a penis?

If they didn’t register their guns, how does Lula know they have them?

Brazil is an enormous country, with vast natural resources available to enrich the lives of their residents—lol.  Fuck that.

White pill, anyone?  The magnitude of the win for Pinochetistas means they could almost vote him back from the dead.

Bolvia mourns the passing of a real hero.  I’m not being cute, this man was a goddamn hero.

This is good day for Megadeth.  I skipped the in video ad.

    They come from the store raw but already wrapped?

    • Count Potato

      I’ve never sous vided anything, but I used to work a broiler for a living.

    • Nephilium

      I’ve seen such items frequently at our local stores.

    • Tonio

      If it’s the same Kroger product I had the other night, yes. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Mine was grilled by a friend on a gas (don’t hate) grill.

      • Sean

        *insert Hank Hill gif*

      • Count Potato

        Nothing against gas. Every steakhouse uses gas.

      • DrOtto

        My dad says butane is a bastard gas – Bobby Hill

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Gas is for godless heathens like me.

      • R.J.

        I both use, and produce gas.

      • KSuellington

        Gas grills are mostly superior to charcoal.

      • Tundra

        Not for jerk chicken, heathen.

      • KSuellington

        Heheh. I did throw a qualifier in there. For steaks I actually think a cast iron (whether on a grill or on a stovetop) is generally a superior method. I like the more uniform crust. Reverse seared if thick with oven starting it out for an hour.

    • R.J.

      Yes. They come wrapped and vacuum sealed so they last longer and freeze better if needed. The are tiny God sends.

  2. Count Potato

    “Probably because its a reliable region where men still prefer women without a penis?”

    There are plenty of MTF on OF.

    • Count Potato

      Also, some people consider Brazil “Latin America” even though they speak porkchop.

      • Gustave Lytton

        It’s not Hispanic, but it is Latin.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        This. My Brazilian wife is very particular about that.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Just had a thought, Pie could identify as Latino if he were to submit his green card app…

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        We’ve been playing the long game.

        We’ve checked “Latino” on every form we’ve ever had to fill out for school. My kids do have Brazilian passports, and Lady Muzzled speaks Portuguese to them exclusively at home. But really to call them anything other than white is a farce. But we know it means they’ll have advantages they’d never get if mom were from Indianapolis and not Sao Paolo.

      • Sensei

        Hell yeah.

        I see nothing wrong with taking advantage of that while opposing it.

      • Count Potato

        I don’t think it includes every romance language.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        Probably not. There are 5.

        Italian
        Spanish
        French
        Portuguese
        Romanian

        You don’t generally hear the frogs being referred to as “Latin.”

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        Considering the complete stupidity of it, I would say that anyone who speaks a language derived from Latin eligible.

        I mean, it isn’t like there are serious qualifiers to it.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        Portugal is in Hispania, also known as Ibernia.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      There are plenty of MTF on OF.

      I am only going to point out you said this authoritatively….to this lot. I will not participate in what comes next.

      • Bobarian LMD

        I read it as CP confirming that he’s only a fan.

      • Brochettaward

        No matter what anyone’s kinks may or may not be, you are all still seconders to me at the end of the day so nothing changes.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        Last week Potato asserted that there are a lot of hot transwomen.

      • Compelled Speechless

        I’m man enough to admit that Blair White at least makes me feel very conflicted.

      • KSuellington

        One night in Bangkok…

      • slumbrew

        Dammit, earworm.

        *shakes fist at KSuell*

      • KSuellington

        Heheh. I once spent a night going around the bars of Patpong with a friend who really wanted to see sex in a Tuk Tuk. She dragged me (although I was pretty pliable) to about 6 or 7 places where we saw all sorts of things besides sex in a Tuk Tuk. Some of the MtFs were very convincing. We noticed that the labia majora was cut higher on them than the naturals. Don’t know if that’s typical or just a Thai sex change thing.

      • Brochettaward

        GAY!

      • KSuellington

        Pretty sure it’s not gay if she has tits dude.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        So, Schumer is cool?

      • Shirley Knott

        Not even on I e

      • Brochettaward

        Being attracted to Chuck Schumer isn’t gay or straight. It just makes you a vile human being.

      • Shirley Knott

        ice, dammit, ice. I only notice typos after I hit sned ;-(

      • KSuellington

        Of all the places you could’ve gone with that you had to go there.

      • Count Potato

        “ice, dammit, ice”

        I read it as “Not even on e”. If Chuck Schumer starts looking good to you, that must be some roll.

  3. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    I guess Chile’s back on the expat list.

    • juris imprudent

      The part I loved was when Boric commended they avoid repeating the mistakes the progressives made – and to please do what is right for Chile and not be vindictive. I’m not sure he meant to reveal as much as he did.

  4. Rebel Scum

    If they didn’t register their guns, how does Lula know they have them?

    Commies go after the guns anyway. I’m just glad Brazilians defeated that far-right fascist Balsonaro…

  5. Count Potato

    Does this mean shemale hookers in Sao Paulo will have to do land acknowledgements?

    sous vide steaks

    Nope. I am not a hipster.

    • Count Potato

      This guy gets it.

      • R C Dean

        Your loss. Mexi has it right – sous vide for steak is da bomb. Mrs. Dean does it the way he describes.

      • Count Potato

        I don’t see the point. If you want it more rare, just cook it for less time on higher heat.

      • R C Dean

        The margin of error is much bigger with sous vide, and the results much more reliable.

        For cuts that aren’t as tender as a filet, extra time in the sous vide doesn’t overcook them at all, but can make them more tender.

      • Count Potato

        “The margin of error is much bigger with sous vide, and the results much more reliable.”

        I never tried it, but that does sound plausible. Otoh, if you cook enough steaks, you can tell how cooked they are by tapping them.

      • Nephilium

        Sous vide is also nice if you have different sizes of steaks. Put them in the bath, and they’ll all be done the same amount when you’re done.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        This. It makes it very easy to make a shitty cut better.

      • juris imprudent

        If you have a really nice thick steak, a reverse-sear gives you a consistent temp/color from crust to crust. The traditional cook means you get pink-to-red-to-pink.

      • KSuellington

        Yup, reverse sear is the bomb for thicker steaks. I’ve never cooked sous vide, but you can’t go wrong with a fat ribeye on 200 for an hour or so and then dropped into a smoking hot cast iron for 60 seconds a side. Finish with some melted butter, garlic and a sprig of rosemary on top.

    • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

      Sous Vide is the Prius of cooking. It looks like cooking, but it’s boiling.

      Fight me!

      • Tundra

        No fight from me. I call my neighbor’s pellet grill an Easy Bake Oven.

      • Nephilium

        If the water is boiling, your sous vide stick is set to way too high of a temperature. Now, there are fully electric brew rigs out there that will get 10 gallons of wort to a roiling boil, but that’s a different beast entirely.

      • slumbrew

        The water is just a heat transfer medium, like the air in your oven (but far more consistent). It doesn’t make contact with the food. It’s not boiling.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        If you put steaks in the oven, I really don’t know what to say at that point.

      • R C Dean

        Reverse sear haz a sad.

  7. Brochettaward

    A commie government going after personal gun ownership. What could possibly go wrong after that?

  8. Count Potato

    Who would win a primary between Trump and Reagan?

    • Rat on a train

      The dead vote so why not run for office?

      • Count Potato

        Ignoring term limits, I’m thinking Reagan could beat Biden in the general.

      • Rat on a train

        Zombie Reagan will not be stopped by term limits.

    • Pat

      Reagan. The party bosses decided he was a god after they kept him from the nomination the first time and after he turned out to be a typical capitulating asshat. He’d get all of the party money and support. Trump’s delegates would get the Ron Paul treatment if necessary.

    • Fatty Bolger

      Reagan would trounce him.

      • SDF-7

        Reagan late second term maybe not — but first term / late ’70s Reagan? He’d clean his clock by keeping up with him in debates but still having clear policies and plans unlike “I want to avenge myself on anyone who butthurt me and let everyone who kisses my ass do whatever they want” as current Trump is.

      • Urthona

        this

      • R C Dean

        Well, CA would pass a law waiving the statute of limitations, and washed up actresses would be lined up around the block to accuse the Gipper of raping them, so he’d have to deal with that.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Not to mention his SAG presidency during HUAC.

  9. Bobarian LMD

    Need to sear extra hot if you leave the bacon on the steak in the bath. But leaving it on the steak infuses more of the bacon to the steak.

    One thing I thought about doing would be using a torch (creme brulee style) to finish the bacon.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Hmm

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      These euphemisms.

    • Tonio

      They come vacuum packed. Did you sous vide them in the package?

      • Bobarian LMD

        I take them out so I can pre-season, but have done some steaks directly in the packaging. Did not work all that great.

        I think they package them in a brine solution.

      • Lackadaisical

        Do you sous vide people ever get concerned about plastic leaching into your food? I know the temps aren’t that high, but it still feels weird to me.

      • Bobarian LMD

        You could cook a rare steak using the hottest setting on your tap if your water heater was big enough, so no.

      • Tundra

        Yes. That’s why I don’t use it all the time. For salmon – always. For steak – rarely.

      • Gustave Lytton

        For steak – rarely

        Gonna need a ruling from the judges on this one.

      • juris imprudent

        Given the medium he is using, I’m gonna give it a pass.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        Oh, well done, sir. Well done!

      • R C Dean

        We don’t sous vide in the store packaging – we’ve thought about it, but yeah, that plastic may be different than the ziploc bags we use.

        I don’t worry about it. If plastic is going to leach into your food at 130 degrees, it’s going to leach into it room temp.

      • Shirley Knott

        As I understand it, it’s much less about the plastic itself and more about the sealant/glue and the integrity of the package under heat. E.g., superglue is rated at max 135-149; I routinely cook at 155.

  10. The Other Kevin

    Bacon wrapped anything is good. I never had much luck getting the bacon wrapped around a steak to cook right. I have had good luck roasting or smoking a bacon wrapped pork loin, as long as it’s either on a rack or it’s rotated so the bacon on the bottom isn’t soggy.

    • Count Potato

      I gave up eating pork a long time ago, but soggy bacon defeats the purpose.

    • Nephilium

      The rack is an important thing to get crisp bacon on the bottom. Do you do a normal wrap, or a bacon weave?

      • The Other Kevin

        For a loin I do the weave. It looks great and keeps the bacon from falling off, especially if you flip it.

      • Nephilium

        I generally stick with the weave just for extra bacon, and ease of wrapping.

        For another treat, you can do something along these lines.

      • Bobarian LMD

        A link back to this page is very meta.

      • Pat

        If you check the dead thread, I answered your question about where that bit you mentioned about new presidents being shown alternate footage of the JFK assassination came from.

      • Nephilium

        Thank you. Once I’m done with the training class of the day, I’ll need to listen to see how close I got it from memory.

      • Pat

        The original is a bit more verbose, but you got it pretty much dead on.

      • Nephilium

        I’ll accept my misses from memory. I could hear it in his voice too, which is what was really driving me mad.

    • Pat

      I like bacon and I like steak, but I like each one so much that I prefer to enjoy them separately.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        This is correct.

  11. Count Potato

    “The Bolivian officer who shot and killed Che Guevara was Mario Terán, who died last year.”

    R.I.P.

    • Count Potato

      “Che Guevara was executed in the Bolivian village of La Higuera, 830km (516 miles) south of La Paz, and his body was buried in a secret location. In 1997 his remains were discovered, exhumed and returned to Cuba, where he was reburied.”

      After communism falls, the line to take a piss is going to be huge.

      • Gustave Lytton

        And yet Lenin is still in his mausoleum in Red Square.

      • Rat on a train

        They’re not Spaniards.

      • Compelled Speechless

        If lefties can’t admit that communism has failed yet, I doubt they ever will. If Cuba becomes a failed state, give them 6 months before they’re proposing it again like it’s a brand new idea. The promise of free everything will always appeal to simpletons.

    • Fatty Bolger

      Based. RIP.

  12. Brochettaward

    Bolvia mourns the passing of a real hero. I’m not being cute, this man was a goddamn hero.

    The BBC, of course, leads with a headline naming Che Guevara first.

    • Muzzled Woodchipper

      When I first got on Facebook about 10 years ago, I very briefly used my wife’s account to see what it was all about. She had a friend from HS who was so happy about her 4-6 year old daughter wearing a Che shirt.

      Having several Cuban friends, and having heard countless stories from abuelita about the horrors of the Castro regime, I put in my 2 cents about him being a murderer. As an Argentinian who already leans left a good ways, she defended Che as a hero and blasted me.

      Fast forward to when “Cuba Libre” came out on Netflix, and all of a sudden my wife tells me that, after having watched that series, her friend wanted to offer an apology to me. That she finally had learned the truth about the piece of shit, and not the communist tale.

      It gave me hope that people can learn.

  13. Fatty Bolger

    White pill, anyone? The magnitude of the win for Pinochetistas means they could almost vote him back from the dead.

    I’m very tempted to post “Suck it, commies!” on that twitter feed, but in the name of decorum, I shall refrain.

    • Compelled Speechless

      From the Twitter replies:

      “How did it happen? How did Chile go from a very progressive proposed constitution to this?”

      I wonder if an endless cycle of lefty politicians promising bountiful utopia and delivering limitless corruption, poverty and oppression instead has anything to do with it?

      No, that can’t be it. Socialism works in theory…..

  14. robc

    “I want to invite the Republican Party, that’s won an unquestionable majority, to not make the same mistakes we made,” Boric said. “This process can’t be about vendettas, but putting Chile first.”

    So he is admitting that his party’s attempt was a vendetta?

    • Fatty Bolger

      Sure sounds like it. But ultimately, he’s right.

      • robc

        Yes, he is. But he is making it clear that that is not what they were trying for.

      • R C Dean

        “Look, we don’t get up in the morning and say ‘let’s have vendetta’. They just happen. Natural causes.”

    • Lackadaisical

      ‘please don’t weaponize the government and constitution against us like we were doing to you’

      I have mixed feelings.

  15. Gustave Lytton

    Here’s why its a good thing.

    “If we just quit deporting people, eventually no one will be left to enter”

    • R C Dean

      Well, we’ve stopped deporting the vast majority of illegals under the pretext that they are “refugees”. So I guess we’re halfway there.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Refugee = anyone that would get a frowny face if asked to leave.

  16. KK the Porcine Pearl-Eater

    My neighbor is offering to trade my Taurus Judge for a Glock 43. He would give me $250 in addition to the Glock, plus conceal holster and 3 mags. Good trade? I love the feel of the Glock in my hand, and it’s great for conceal. I would shoot the Glock before purchase, of course.

    • Bobarian LMD

      Great trade. I’d do it in a heartbeat. The Judge is a nifty conversation piece, but it ain’t really all that great of a gun. I keep mine in the drawer next to the bed and hardly ever take it out anymore.

      The 43 is a lot easier to carry, as well.

    • Sean

      Sounds like it’s slanted in your favor.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        Are you saying she should Grock this deal?

        I’ll show myself out.

    • The Other Kevin

      That reads like a story problem from the Glibs homeschool curriculum.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      I’d take that trade, but make sure you like how the Glock shoots.

    • EvilSheldon

      Very very good trade, assuming you shoot the Glock okay (I personally dont.)

    • Not Adahn

      Dooo eeeeet.

  17. Rebel Scum

    In God we trust. All others we trans.

    Retired U.S. Navy Commander Julianna Vida slammed one Republican Party lawmaker’s criticism of the Navy officially using a drag queen to boost recruitment for the military branch.

    In a statement provided to Fox News Digital this week, Vida said that Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s assessment that the Navy has become “preoccupied with identity politics” is “destructive” and “undermines” the Navy’s methods of recruiting new members.

    Vida, who was in the Navy for over 30 years and currently servers on the Naval Academy Alumni Association Board of Trustees, defended the Navy’s use of drag queen recruiting ads as a “critical” method of welcoming “traditionally excluded segments of our population.”

    • The Other Kevin

      I say go for it. Let’s see what this does to that deficit in recruiting numbers.

      • Brochettaward

        The Navy has always quiet marketed itself to gays, anyway. It’s just out in the open now with this.

      • Fatty Bolger

        That’s not marketing to gay people. From what I’ve seen, most gay dudes who are actually the types to join up aren’t big fans of this stuff.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Exactly. The often contradictory preferences of the gay and trans community are finally really starting make cracks in the coalition. The idea that all QUILTBAGS want the same thing is as laughable as the idea that Ethiopian immigrants and Jamaican immigrants want the same things or Irish decedents and Russian decedents should be grouped together as Caucasians and be polled together because of skin color. Identity politics and and forcing people into coalitions without asking anyone their preferences has been a hallmark of progressivism since it’s inception.

    • SDF-7

      Have fun meeting enlistment quotas with that 1% of the population then while you’re pissing off and demonizing at least 40% of the country (especially your traditional military families) then.

      • Ownbestenemy

        My guess? They feel they have enough of the ‘go along’ crowd to carry out the social media screeching against those who are against it to carry this forward.

    • R C Dean

      Do the math, you knob. The “traditionally excluded” transers are a fraction of a percent. The normies who will be put off by the Navy actively recruiting transers is a much larger group. You will be net negative on recruitment. Which you tacitly admit by whining about somebody pointing out the obvious.

    • Pat

      Vida said that Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s assessment that the Navy has become “preoccupied with identity politics” is “destructive” and “undermines” the Navy’s methods of recruiting new members.

      Which explains why recruitment numbers were so good before Tuberville’s remarks.

      Also, Tommy Tuberville sounds like a made up name. He’s the Art Vandelay of senators.

      • robc

        Tommy Tuberville is a former football coach. Did he manage to coach 3 different SEC teams?

      • robc

        Nope, just 2. For some reason I thought he coached Arkansas.

        1995-1998 Ole Miss
        1999-2008 Auburn
        2010-2012 Texas Tech
        2013-2016 Cincinnati

    • Bobarian LMD

      Given how bad all the services recruiting efforts are going to end up this year, maybe the Navy is trying to find something to place the blame on.

    • Count Potato

      He could have at least lip synced that Village People song.

      • Bobarian LMD

        “We don’t smoke, and we don’t chew, and we don’t play with the boys that do…”

  18. Tundra

    I reverse sear in bacon grease. But I’m pretty basic.

  19. JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

    But Che was so dreamy.

  20. The Late P Brooks

    I picked up a bunch of those bacon wrapped tenderloins from the local Kroger.

    I was looking at those at Fred Meyer the other day, but more likely than not I’d fuck it up and end up with something nearly inedible. Eating has become more of a task than a pleasure. I’m definitely not interested in turning cooking into a big deal.

    • Brochettaward

      The only jury pool that would be more tainted than NYC’s would be in DC. Maybe LA or SF.

    • Brochettaward

      It’s also curious that you could find that he’s not guilty of raping her, but find him guilty of lesser accusations. She’s either credible or not.

      • Urthona

        I suppose you could argue the “victim” doesn’t really know the distinction between rape and sexual assault.

      • Compelled Speechless

        That distinction has become the ultimate moving goal post. Remember a few years ago when D politicians were going around claiming that 20% of college girls have been sexually assaulted? Biden was one of them. Turns out that that claim was based off a single poll taken at a liberal arts college and that the poll explicitly included verbal harassment or exposure to unwanted comments as sexual assaults? To say the line is being intentionally blurred would be 100x more generous than the people doing this actually deserve.

    • The Other Kevin

      He was found guilty of being Trump. Up next, the important trial accusing Trump of being Trump, and after that, the blockbuster trial in which Trump gets the chance to prove he’s innocent of being Trump.

      • Urthona

        He should now sue her for defamation. Even a New York jury just ruled she was wrong to call him a rapist.

      • Fatty Bolger

        Duper’s delight.

      • Urthona

        The most ridiculous argument that Trump has caused her any damages.

        Clearly she is more in the spotlight now than ever.

      • R C Dean

        Well, I’m a bad person, so I hope Trump appeals and she dies before she sees a dime.

        She still has her claim that Les Moonves raped her. Although, the lefty billionaire that funded her Trump fight isn’t funding that suit as there is no political payoff in doing so.

    The magnitude of the win for Pinochetistas means they could almost vote him back from the dead.

    When I saw the stories about the “right wing” victory, I just assumed they were garden variety democratic socialists rather than disciples of Pol Pot.

    This cunte is still talking and lying.

    Cheney’s PAC, The Great Task, paid for the ad “Risk,” which first aired Tuesday morning, as NBC News reported. Cheney does not appear in the effort but narrates as footage from the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots plays throughout the majority of the ad.

    “Donald Trump is the only president in American history who has refused to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power,” Cheney, who co-chaired the now-defunct January 6 Select Committee, says. “He lost the election, and he knew it. He betrayed millions of Americans by telling them the election was stolen. He ignored the ruling of dozens of courts.”

    Never trust a politician who can’t say what a woman is

    Politicians used to be formidable characters. A citizen would really need to know his stuff if he wanted to pin down any of the big dogs of politics. Not anymore. Now it takes a measly four words to reduce a politician to a mumbling wreck. Try it next time one of them crosses your path. Say these four words: ‘What is a woman?’

    The latest politician to be stumped by this simplest of queries was Naomi Long, leader of Northern Ireland’s Alliance Party. She got into a Twitterspat last week during which someone hurled that bizarrely incendiary question her way. ‘What is a woman, Naomi?’, the tweeter asked. Cue terror in the Long camp. ‘You don’t know?’, Long replied, clearly buying time. ‘It’s a simple question, Naomi… what’s a woman?’, her tormentor continued. Long repeated herself: ‘Simple answer: why are you asking? Do you not know?’

    Back and forth it went, with sarcasm aplenty from Long, but no effort to answer the question. It hit the headlines in Northern Ireland. ‘Naomi Long has declined to answer the question “What is a woman?” during an extended argument on Twitter’, reported the News Letter, in understandably bewildered tones. Its intrepid reporters pursued this curious tale of a woman who can’t say what a woman is, but with no luck: ‘The News Letter today asked the Alliance Party if Mrs Long can, for the record, say what a woman is. No response had been received at time of writing.’

    It used to take a tough question about a major economic screw-up or some personal indiscretion to send a politician scurrying into hiding. Now you just have to ask a question about biological sex that most human beings over the age of five could answer. The awesome power contained in this simple question, its ability to turn clever politicians into wide-eyed buffoons who wish the ground would swallow them up, is intriguing. Yes, it confirms that gender ideology has its hands around the throat of the political mainstream, but it also suggests that reason and truth-seeking, the most basic intellectual interrogation, is enough to expose this ideology’s fallacies, and the political class’s cowardice. ‘What is a woman?’ is the most essential political question of our times.

    • Count Potato

      “‘What is a woman?’ is the most essential political question of our times.”

      Honestly, I think it’s a stupid gotcha question, like “Black lives matter, or all lives matter?”

      • Certified Public Asshat

        How? If you use a word you should be able to define it, especially when it is used in law.

        From “their” perspective anyway, it’s someone who identifies as an adult human female. Still an absurd definition, but it is at least slightly less circular.

      • Brochettaward

        I think it’s a very revealing question when posed to the party is launching a full on assault on how the term is used, and in which they will ruin you if you use it in a way they deem inappropriate. These are the self-anointed experts on the matter who would deign to dictate to the rest of us how to use these words.

        Asking them to define the term is hardly a gotcha. It exposes them for the frauds that they are. Most of them can’t even come up with a word salad answer to the question to try and justify their beliefs let alone something coherent that the rest of us would believe and understand.

      • R C Dean

      I haven’t watched Tucker Carlson since he was a bowtie-wearing loudmouth on Crossfire, but I would have liked to see him launch his own platform a-la Glenn Beck with his Blaze media properties, to be honest. He’s got a large enough following to have made a bit of a dent in the centralized media landscape. The fact that even a name brand political celebrity like him is going to piggyback off Twitter, especially after what’s happened there in the past, is kind of depressing.

      • slumbrew

        Eh, it’s not a lifetime commitment – Twitter can handle the traffic and it’s ready to go, right now.

        He may still spin up his own thing further down the road.

      • Brochettaward

        Tucker already cashed out of one media site he helped create, did he not? Who says he wants the headaches of running another right wing news site when he can just do his own thing and cash checks?

        I’m surprised he picked Twitter, but it makes sense. There’s going to be a lot of howling as the lefties are forced to be exposed to him on a nightly basis.

    • R C Dean

      Nice tie in to the previous post, no?

      Musk has hinted that he wants to grow Twitter into a bigger platform with video. Tucker with his built in audience was a godsend for that, if Musk wants to make his move now. Sounds like does.

    Fort Hood drops Confederate name, becomes Fort Cavazos

    May 9 (UPI) — The Texas Army installation previously known as Fort Hood was officially renamed Fort Cavazos as part of a Defense Department effort to rename sites named after Confederate figures.

    The facility, where the Army’s III Armored Corps is stationed, took on the name of Gen. Richard Cavazos, a decorated Mexican-American general in the U.S. military who was known for his heroics in the Korean and Vietnam wars including an instance where he refused orders to abandon his troops in combat.

    “We are proud to be renaming Fort Hood as Fort Cavazos in recognition of an outstanding American hero, a veteran of the Korea and Vietnam wars and the first Hispanic to reach the rank of four-star general in our Army,” Lt. Gen Sean Bernabe III, Armored Corps commanding general said. “General Cavazos’ combat-proven leadership, his moral character and his loyalty to his soldiers and their families made him the fearless yet respected and influential leader that he was during the time he served and beyond.”

    Should have called it Fort Hasan.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      I chuckled

    • Brochettaward

      You know when they rename all these installations, they are going to pick as many non-white guys as they can.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Yeah, sure, why not? Transsexuals being hired to try to boost recruitment, renaming forts, and we haven’t really won a war since WWII. Good to know they have their priorities in order although Cavazos does sound like he was a good general.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        Being that he stood out in a time well before being not-white was a decided advantage for military recognition, I’d say he was probably an excellent general.

      • R C Dean

        I can’t imagine his contract has much limiting what he can do on the socials. Hell, they want their talent to have big social media presences. Sounds like he’s going to be just another guy on Twitter (still) – Musk said there was no deal, he’d be, well, just another guy on Twitter. Regardless, he’s already fired a warning shot at Fox with a nastygram from his lawyers.

        Fox was probably betting on YouTube deplatforming him if he tried to do it there. I’m thinking this is a very nifty end-run by Carlson. Who knows? He may even make bank with the revenue-sharing Musk mentioned.

    Fictional Biography of John Rambo

    He was born in 1946 and was inspired to join the Army from JFK’s speech about: ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
    After about 2 years of training, Rambo became an 18B, special forces weapons sergeant, and was sent to Vietnam. In 1968 during the Tet Offensive, he and the Hmong soldiers he trained fought with incredible bravery during the battle of Cho Ben Thanh. They fought to the last man and Rambo was captured. Rambo was brutally tortured, but somehow managed to escape. The experience left him with psychic wounds which made him unsuitable for military service. He got a Section 8 discharge and struggled to find a good civilian job. He became a drifter while trying to track down his old Army friends.
