My local Kroger must have overestimated the number of Irish in my neighborhood, because they are selling those packaged corned beef briskets for $3.50/lbs. Can’t wait until they have to mark them down next week. So Playa Manhattan said to make one into a pastrami, then he said to toss it into tacos!
So I did. Pastrami tacos!
Now for some links.

Here’s a jaunty tune. Enjoy your Martes.
“My local Kroger must have overestimated the number of Irish in my neighborhood, because they are selling those packaged corned beef briskets for $3.50/lbs. ”
$1.99 here.
And here I was happy when I saw it was down to $5/lb here. There’s three sitting in the freezer now.
Prices are insane.
It’s been that way for 40 years
And we’re passing the saving on to YOU!
The best St. Patrick’s Day ad campaign slogan evee was “Irish I had a Schlitz.”
Wow…it would be cheaper to buy a brisket and just make your own at that point.
Not the last time I looked at Costco.
Nevada still has whole chickens and brisket for cheap. Chickens are still $.99 – $1.29/lb and briskets were $4.99/lb last week. Gotta go tomorrow anyway so will see if that has shot up.
Really?? Beef Prices have been awful here in Pahrump for a while now. Stew meat was $7.49 last week at Smith’s!!
Not here it isn’t. Brisket is at $9/lb. I can at least still get cheap pork on the regular.
Flats are like that here, but you can buy a whole brisket for pennies more than what the separated flat would be.
And they cut off the best part.
Yeah it takes some knowhow to break it down properly but you can buy a whole packer for nearly the same prices as one that is already broken down and 1/3rd of the weight of meat.
“Stem” the “flow” of “migrants”
Worldwide financial crash should do the trick. /Biden admin solving problems
We had some back in 2020 go on sale for 1.29/lb. I have 6 frozen in the freezer. One will be turned into pastrami for sure.
I didn’t know you could turn corned beef into pastrami.
Beef —> Corned Beef —> Pastrami
Cold smoked is best, but you can hot smoke it and it comes out great.
Most home recipes are easy to follow and if you have a spice shop around, get their brine blend rather than store bought, or make your own. If you buy the prebrined corned beefs, I suggest desalinating it.
We love cooking articles. Especially ones involving meat. Just sayin’.

Hispanics aren’t very woke. The more the Democrats push identity politics, the more they are going to lose Latin-equis.
some say the party must intensify on-the-ground operations that were largely suspended during the pandemic.
Stopping canvassing was a dumb idea. In NH, the state Democrat Party prohibited any canvassing. Republicans did not operate under any such restriction. I did not do any canvassing for the state rep I helped out, but I met some of the folks that did. They said that many of the people they talked to liked that the canvassers were out because it was a sign of a return to normality.
I doubt the Democrats will make that mistake again.

“Many Colombians say they are fed up with their elected leaders and the way the country has been run in recent years.”
If they elect a former rebel leader who wants to redistribute the wealth (probably mostly into his own pockets) they’ll be getting what they deserve. Have they looked around their neighborhood lately?
For Whom the Horns Honk
Will freedom survive the death of Canada’s Freedom Convoy?
The trucker’s convoy was crushed as soon as the police were unleashed. It took law enforcement only two days to remove every protestor and vehicle from Parliament Hill. They used simple riot control techniques. Friendly and fraternizing police were replaced with tactical units, who had more protective equipment and better weapons, and unencumbered by body cameras and badge numbers. The suspension of usual protocols was likely planned to avoid accountability, since a future investigation would have been considered, especially due to the controversial invocation of the Emergency Act.
The truckers convoys were absolutely dedicated to non-violence. Now everyone can clearly see that non-violence is off the table, as an effective method of change.
This probably wasn’t the lesson that the authorities were trying to teach.
And while I commend that about them, it was also an extremely pragmatic stance to take.
Freedom will survive. Even more importantly, we have all learned what lengths a villainous government will go to in quelling protests that do not suit their needs. Lesson learned. Next time will go differently.
IDK, there is a lot to be said for disruption as opposed to active confrontation.
Now, where’s my copy of the red book?
The type of protests will never resemble big marches in the street again. Think more along the lines of 2,000 people withdrawing their money at once from a vulnerable bank which is known to collaborate with the government. Economic actions can cause profound damage. Reputation damage in a public forum is easy to accomplish as well. The tools of the oppressors are shockingly easy to use.
“Senate PASSES a bill to make daylight savings time permanent – meaning America will never have to change its clocks again if it passes the House”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10616433/Senate-PASSES-bill-make-daylight-savings-time-permanent.html
No, it means those of us in states that do not recognize DST will have to change our clocks once. Unless of course we decide to tell the feds to once again, fuck off.
I think standard time makes more sense, particularly health-wise.
But I don’t really care.
I say split the difference. Just pick a time and stick with it,
Without adjusting clocks by 30 minutes, I propose shifting the US time zones about 1/2 way and going to standard time.
The 6 New England states would be Atlantic Standard.
Every thing else to the Mississippi would be Eastern Standard.
River to Great Divide would be Central Standard.
Rest of 48 states would be Mountain Standard.
No states would have to be split. MT, WY, CO, NM would be the western edge of CST. MN, IA, MO, AR, LA would be eastern edge of CST. NYC and Chicago would be on same time. NYC and LA would be 2 hours apart.
Wow, I had no idea they were working on something useful for a change.
Or at least less of a pain in the ass.
Yeah, it’s still the government making a bad idea permanent.
That was what I noticed.
It wasn’t “Hey this was a stupid idea that we should get rid of.”
It was “It’s so great we’ll make it permanent.”
Though I strongly prefer Standard time, I’d celebrate not having to set my fucking clocks twice a year if Daylight Savings was the choice they made.
Jolting the circadian rhythm of hundreds of millions of people is fucking cruel, and there’s no goddamn good reason for it.
Dammit. Hit POST too soon. To finish my thought:
Of course the morons pick the least preferred of the two, but whatever. I’m in the “pick one and get it done” camp.
Oh, and we have to wait an extra year because of the airlines? Fuck that. This isn’t Y2K. Do it now.
The move is driven by the senators from FL and MA. At least in New England many people prefer having some daylight after 4pm in the winter.
Yes, I’m sure the difference in opinion has a lot to do with difference in latitudes.
But then the mornings in MA are dark as fuck in the winter.
Which is why I could be talked either way. But I think I’d rather have some light in the evening than in the morning.
I never wake up when it’s still dark. Even in December. Definitely not a morning person.
I work 6 to 2:30 so it’s always dark when I wake up.
And I’d prefer year-round DST to year-round standard time.
I hate sunset at 4:30 so I guess I’m in the 32% camp.
Yeah, I guess if I were to pick one, I’d be of the same mind. And Rubio did mention that in his comments. So, maybe they aren’t morons…this time.
However, “my fuck the airlines” opinion still stands.
Over/under on how long before the DST shift is re-introduced against the new standard?

Dave Smith debated Nick Fuentes a while back. He’s definitely got an identarian bent, but you can tell much of what he says is meant to be provocative. He’s still nowhere near as racist, offensive or sincere as your average wokester. If this guy is what you’re worried about, you definitely need to get out of whatever bubble you’re living in.

To stem the flow of migrants Trump should have proposed a giant tampon on the border. It would have been much more equitable, and the Dems would have had to go along.

Petrodollar Cracks: Saudi Arabia Considers Accepting Yuan For Chinese Oil Sales
Posted another link this morning on this. Biggest news of the day.
Easily the most inept foreign policy administration in our history. If demand for the dollar drops while the Fed continues to pump supply…
Yep. This is huge news.
The petrodollar system has underpinned the American Empire for decades. As it unravels, we are in for some not very fun times.
Woo hoo! European pricing…if we’re lucky.
Its worse than that. Without the petrodollar system, I don’t know how much longer the dollar will be the reserve currency (especially given the rate at which we are debasing the dollar). When that happens, all that inflation we have been exporting because we have the reserve currency comes home to roost.
And that may be a reason to expatriate. If the dollar fails and is removed as the reserve currency, then the impact may be worse (a lot worse? who knows?) in the US than in other countries.
Ima have to think about this one.
Any country holding dollars in reserve will see the value of those reserves evaporate overnight. So if they back their currency on the value of their holdings (like many in Latin America) it will hit them as well.
I’m really curious how El Salvador works out.
El Presidente Dudebro may be assassinated before this is over. The dollar underpins the entirety of the DC power base, they’re going to get desperate.
American pesos!
Wouldn’t it be ironic if the Petrodollar finally gives and we bleed out, right as we enter into a conflict we’ve spent decades trying to goad Russia into in order to bleed them out? I would say it’s cosmic justice, except the people that are responsible for all of it have set everything up so they’re the only ones who don’t feel it.
Putin bullied the “oligarchs” into keeping Russia’s physical economy intact. Ours has been offshored and now the oil business is being blocked. Of course we’ll bleed out first.
Hard to believe we were a net oil exporter 14 months ago.
We aren’t that different now.

Well-said. Identifying what the motives of a nation or leader are does NOT equate to endorsing them.
In the Art of War Sun Tzu says we should know our enemy and know ourselves. For some reason some people find this controversial.
In a nutshell, that is why the leftist project of fundamentally transforming America is anti-American (and by “American”, I mean “American citizens”).
That word, preserve, runs counter to the belief that all things that happened before are bad and only our beautiful imaginations can deliver us a glorious future. You can’t progress if you are concerned with preserving.

I said a few days ago that we will see Strawberry drunk at the podium within a month. I changed my mind.
Two weeks and she’s slurring worse than Sunset.
Ah, the old “right side of history” argument. India is going to look out for India.
I don’t know if Jen is drunk, but her lilting “up-voice” on her statements betrays a lack of confidence.
They know they’re fucked. The only question is how stupidly desperate are they going to get before they deal with reality.
Speaking of our descent into the shitter, I saw an American flag being flown upside down yesterday. Beneath it on the same flagpole: what appeared to be a Trump 24 flag.
House progressives are planning to call on President Joe Biden this week to use his executive power to declare climate change a national emergency and to ban fossil fuel drilling on public lands.
Good thinking.
I saw another article, I forget where, in a long line of “High gas prices will hasten our transition to golf carts and save the world,” from one more yahoo blissfully ignorant of what is actually behind the curtain.
Expensive gas drives demand for EVs. Automakers pull EVs from the magic hat. More EVs on the road means more demand from magical clean electricity. Utilities pull magical clean electricity from the magic hat. And they all lived happily ever after.
When do we pull magic nuclear power plants from magic hat? Those truly serious about “saving the planet” and converting to all EVs will have to embrace nuclear power.
It only takes about a decade to get one built if you can get it built at all.
Yes, and it will still take ten years to build if we wait ten years more to start building it.
I know little about nuclear power plants, but I suspect today’s versions are a far sight more safe than those at Chernobyl or TMI. Maybe a pro-nuclear p.r. grassroots campaign should be ginned up before a Greenie wave takes out our standard of living?
The anti-nuclear energy lobby has always confounded and astounded me. It’s the cleanest, most consistent source of power available.
I get the opposition to nuclear weapons, but the hatred for nuke plants is just stupid.
That’s current/past technology. There are companies out there with modular designs which should* greatly speed build time. Decentralizing the power generation would be another benefit. I’m sure there are bugs to be worked out, but it’s pretty cool stuff.
*I know, the regulatory process is a large percentage of the time and won’t go away, at least short term. But one would hope/think that as this technology is proved out, at least some of the hoops could be removed.
the regulatory process
Could be drastically reduced in time with just a few well placed bullets.
We need lamppost and woodchipper deregulation!
We built the first one in 2 years and didn’t know how to build one since it had never been done.
I was listening to ÖRF’s (Austria) “Morgenjournal” program ththis morning, and one of the reports was greenie propaganda about how driving slower on the autobahn would save some ridiculous amount of gas — I think they claimed 10%.
No mention of the extra time spent on the road. Taxes on time are the worst of all. In theory, you can make extra marginal dollars, but you can’t make extra time.
So, when you get off the plane in Austria, do they say “Welcome to ORF”?

Those that think socialist isn’t a winning term call themselves “social democrats” because they are compaaaaaassionate to the downtrodden and better than you are at spending your money on the less fortunate. For equity.
