SWEAT
Where we running, y’all?
We running to the sun!
Mornin’ run…
Get up!
Here we go!

It’s 6 A.M.
Monday morning
No time for sleeping
No time for yawning

There’s no day off
And no vacation
Just hard work, dedication,
And perspiration
(You know it’s time to)

SWEAT! (I need to)
SWEAT! (I got to)
SWEAT!
‘Cause every time I sweat
I’m hot as I can get
(Listen)

They say the early bird
Catches the worm
Sometimes you win, and
Sometimes you learn

There’s nothing wrong with striving
To be the best
Hard work and dedication
Put to the test
(Every single night I got to)

SWEAT! (I need to)
SWEAT! (I got to)
SWEAT!
‘Cause every time I sweat
I’m hot as I can get
(Brother, Regi…)

(Teacha!)

SWEAT in the mornin’
Sweating in the night
SWEAT in the evenin’
Make everything alright
Sweating when I’m running
Never gonna stop
‘Cause keep working
“Til I reach the top
(I got to…)

Sweat is Funky
I’m not bon’ lie
But sweat will sting you
When it get’s in your eyes
Sweat is water
Sweat is salt
If you can’t feel the groove
It’s not my fault!
Got to

SWEAT in the mornin’
Sweating in the night
SWEAT in the evenin’
Make everything alright
I’m sweating when I’m lovin’
When I’m with you
‘Cause everything I do
Been workin’ for you
(I need to…)

(I got to) WORK!

(I want to) DANCE!

(I have to) JAM!

Every single night I got to
SWEAT!

Sigh. Needed some eggs and bread. Went to Kwik Trip. Came home. There’s a car in my alley. I pulled in and was waiting for it to move. It did. BACKWARDS. I hit the horn. She hit me. Now a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a brush guard is a sturdy beast, I didn’t even notice the impact but her little Ford’s rear lift door got munged. She gets out says she looked but didn’t see me (how?) gets back in her car and starts pulling ahead, I pull into my spot and figure I’m going to need to talk to cops but nope, she’s zooming off. Oh kay… my truck isn’t even scratched, she can fight with her insurance without a police report.

I was on a job in Marion NC. I had gone up to the old hardware store in the downtown, and was at the counter paying for a chisel and a handful of screws. There was about a 13” black and white tv behind the counter, and I watched it all in slightly confused silence, with 4 or 5 people I didn’t know. Surreal.

The Abyss.

That was real.

The rat demonstration scene in The Abyss was unsimulated and used real-life oxygenated breathing fluid. Ed Harris, however, was tasked with pretending to breathe in his water-filled helmet. This was especially challenging during underwater shots, of which there were many.

filmschoolrejects.com

I was watching the Abyss in a movie theater and not really getting the movie (good acting & SF special effects were very well done) until the scene in which the white rat breathed oxygenated Fluorinert. That scene was an epiphany and hooked me into the movie until the last scene.

As a SF buff, the rat scene made me believe, and was well worth the price of admission.

‘An evil smile’: Trump supporter charged with attempted murder

A Trump supporter who shot an activist at a prayer vigil in Española yesterday has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault, according to court documents.

Video shows Ryan Martinez, 23, was chased out of the prayer vigil at the site of a proposed statue of racist war criminal Juan de Oñate. After escaping over a short wall, Martinez turned around and drew a pistol, firing one shot before fleeing the scene.

The shot hit 42-year-old Jacob Johns (Hopi and Akimel O’odham), according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant for Martinez. A Gofundme page for Johns’ medical bills shared by organizers of the prayer vigil said Johns “dedicated his life to Indigenous and climate justice [and] is a skilled muralist and speaker, and specializes in non-violent, peaceful ‘artivism.’”

Martinez is the third Trump supporter in New Mexico to be charged with a politically-motivated shooting in as many years, following a 2020 shooting at an Oñate statue in Albuquerque (charges related to the shooting were dropped in that case) and a series of shootings at Democrat officials’ homes allegedly carried out by failed Republican candidate Solomon Peña.

Threats against Democrats in New Mexico, some encouraged by Republican elected officials, have proliferated in recent weeks following governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s controversial emergency order banning public carrying of firearms in Bernalillo County.

The affidavit describes the shooting and subsequent arrest and interview of Martinez. According to a witness interviewed by New Mexico State Police, Martinez and a group of protesters in support of the statue arrived at the prayer vigil Thursday morning and began agitating the peaceful prayer group.

Martinez, wearing a Make America Great Again hat, was “walking around and trying to provoke negative reactions with various people,” according to the witness. The witness told state police she “noticed something out of the ordinary about Ryan” and had children present at the vigil congregate around a shrine that had been set up outside the county building where the statue’s installation was planned.

According to the witness, Martinez tried to reach the area where the children were gathered, but a group of peacekeepers blocked his way. After hopping the small wall surrounding the plaza, Martinez shot Johns and then pointed his gun at the witness, the affidavit says. The witness said Martinez “had an evil smile.”

Another witness interviewed by state police said Martinez and other men in MAGA hats were “walking around and acting as if they wanted to start something,” according to the affidavit. That witness said Martinez was “making racist comments to children” prior to the shooting.

Martinez fled the scene in a white Tesla and was pursued by an attendee of the prayer vigil before police pulled him over, according to the affidavit. He was taken to the Española Police Department interview room, where he was questioned by state police.

“@Cernovich

When we lose in 2024, I’ll be hunted down and murdered by the regime.”

That’s a really weird fantasy to have - even more so - if you’re looking for some justification to pre-engage in a terroristic act.

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a “Hollywood elite.”

“Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!”

- George Clooney

actor, philanthropist, humanitarian & activist

I’ve known George and his family for a long time (my father worked with Rosemary and George’s dad, Nick). Auntie Rosemary was a star, but she was always and will remain the girl next door. His dad was a well-known journalist in the region and was our US Rep for one term. Nick and Nina still live down the road a ways.
The Clooneys are just regular people; something tfg will never be.

Don’t think this has gotten reported:

Japan government plans to seek court order to dissolve Unification Church

The Japanese government plans to seek a court order to disband the Unification Church, a government source said Saturday, a move that comes after a months-long probe into the religious group over allegations of soliciting financially ruinous donations from members and other questionable practices.

Scrutiny of the group intensified after former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was fatally shot during an election campaign speech last year over his perceived links to the entity, an incident which also brought to light its connections with many ruling party lawmakers.

According to the source, the Cultural Affairs Agency is currently considering convening a meeting of an advisory body on religious institutions — possibly on Oct. 12 — to report its plan, and then asking the Tokyo District Court to issue an order to dissolve the group, the source said.

The agency has judged through documents submitted from the Unification Church and statements of victims who were pressured into making massive donations that the group’s practices amounted to violations of the Religious Corporations Act, according to the source.

The law allows Japanese courts to order the dissolution of a religious group that has committed an act which is “clearly found to harm public welfare substantially.”

If dissolved, the Unification Church, founded in South Korea in 1954 and formally known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, would lose its status as a religious corporation in Japan and be deprived of tax benefits, although it could still operate as an entity.

So far, only two religious organizations have received a dissolution order from a Japanese court because of legal violations. One was the AUM Shinrikyo cult, which carried out the deadly 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system.

More at the link: english.kyodonews.net

I’m thinking that if Kyodo News is reporting it, it’s likely going to happen. And it’s truly remarkable that the assassin of Abe Shinzo actually got something he wanted out of his act.

I was going through a service school at NAS Cecil Field in Jacksonville.

The school let out to watch the launch from Cape Canaveral. All of standing outside watching were stunned and silent when large cloud appeared and the booster rockets went off in separate directions, because we knew what had happened without a television announcer telling us.

The Navy school was cancelled right after that for the day and the next, and we went home.

Subsequently read the after action reporting (the Miami Herald did some really good reporting on the dialogue between engineers (No Go) and NASA admin (Go) prior to the launch).

Good PR was deemed more important than risk assessment of launching the most complicated assembly of machinery ever devised by mankind under conditions outside design parameters.

GOPers ready to give impeachment lead to Jim Jordan after failed James Comer hearing

Republicans are ready to take away the impeachment inquiry from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and hand it over to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) after the first hearing flopped.

GOP lawmakers, including Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL), are complaining that Comer’s witnesses testified that they hadn’t seen any evidence that President Joe Biden had committed any crimes, and they’re confused why the Kentucky Republican invited outside experts instead of fact witnesses, reported Politico Playbook.

“I wasn’t thrilled with the witnesses,” Boebert said, but added that she thinks the Oversight Committee will improve.

However, some Republicans believe Jordan is more experienced and that the Judiciary Committee he leads was the more natural home for impeachment inquiries.

“People are just not happy,” said senior GOP aide. “[Jordan has] been tested on this stuff.”

Comer’s critics worried that he set the bar too high for impeaching Biden by suggesting they must prove the president personally benefitted from his family’s foreign business, saying that evidence might not actually exist, and Republicans have been pressing him to lower the threshold to show that he engaged in “abuse of power” by taking no action to stop his family from trading on his name.

“People’s perception is that Comer doesn’t really take counsel,” said a second senior GOP aide, according to the report.

Republicans have also questioned his media strategy, saying Comer had been feeding conservative media instead of making his case to a skeptical public through mainstream media appearances.

“The conservative press will write whatever you want them to write — why would you go there first?” said the second GOP aide. “Mainstream media reporting gives credibility to the narrative.”

How each member voted on House stopgap bill to avoid shutdown WaPo Gift Link

Has a complete breakdonw of the numbers. 209 D and 126 R voted for. 1 D and 90 R voted against. 7 present but did not vote.

Pelosi appears not to have been present as she has norecirded vote. This only passed becasue of Dems. It is missing the $6 billion in aid for Ukraine in the Senate bill. But does have disaster aid.

First, $6 billion is a rounding error that I would not be surprised to see the Pentagon at least loan Ukraine. But this does demonstrate a real split in the GOP and I expect the chaos that will occur is one reason Jeffries eventually asked the Dems to pass the bill. The Freedom Caucus is in a corner now - if they do not remove the Speaker they show they have no power. But the Speaker could make a deal with the Dems and maybe keep his job with their support (“As Speaker of the House, I have decided to bring a vote on the impeachment inquiry to the floor to decide if we should proceed further.” We know how that owuld turn out.)

If it plays out this way, the Freedom Caucus and Trump are now isolated with reducing power. And the Main Street/ Wall Street Republicans begin to work more and more with Third way Democrats to lead the way to a new political party. (I can dream ;-)

It is up to the Senate now. I expect they will pass it. They could also add an amendment for the Ukraine money, sending to to a conference committee to hassle the differing versions out.

But I expect they will pass it and send to Biden. If not, it will only cause more chaos for the GOP (who are the only ones who could shut it down), which is good.

I thought I saw some really short (4 to 6 inch), light purple day lilies, until I asked someone who had them in her yard. Autumn Crocuses. Since then, I’ve seen some that look more like crocuses (smaller flower, same color), now I see all shapes and sizes. All the same color. It is not an autumn color. Or was not.

The decision to launch given the strong opposition by the Thiokol engineers is one of the most bone-headed decisions ever. It truly was one made for political reasons (President Ronny Raygun was pushing NASA hard to launch because he wanted to mention it in his state of the union address) at the cost of good engineering and plain, old common sense. NASA and Thiokol were pussies in the face of the pressure and 7 people died a horrible death as a result incuding Christa McAuliffe (who, frankly, should never have been there at all).

One of the more disgusting affairs this country has produced among many.

If the GOP loses big in 2024 (and that should be the case unless things suddenly turn around in their favor) there will be violence and even bloodshed.

I went to a yard sale farther from home than usual, mostly because I wanted to see the neighborhood. They sold me a Bridgestone MB 6 for $5. I could not even pause to think how far I had to walk two bikes home before handing her my money. I managed not to think about it until I got home. 2.8 miles. Felt like 5. I think. I haven’t walked 5 miles lately. But I rode a bike 2.8, and walked 2.8 with 2 bikes.

I hate to sound all pessimistic about it but there are too many weapons and too many crazies and zealots, and there are too many people who should no better egging them all on.

I don’t think it’s a pessimistic outlook. More pragmatic. I expect more violence and prison either way. My best hope is the bad people do most of the bleeding and prison.

First polls after the “debate” shows Trump with a jump upwards, pretty much everyone else deflating.

And the betting odds for Trump winning the nomination jumped up too.

The shoe that needs to drop has to come from a judge’s foot.

Who would bet against Trump winning the nomination unless he dies?

Any time I start thinking those kinds of thoughts, and they don’t occur often because I am an optimist, I think about all the groups that have had to deal with violence to eat out tiny victories and put myself in perspective. I don’t allow the possibility that it might occur cloud over the need for change to happen.

It’s only a pessimistic scenario if the right wing nut jobs win when they go violent. If they lose, every dead right wing nut job will be a step toward recovery.

Wait for the end…

A now-deceased Republican donor was reportedly involved in a fraudulent scheme to trade Taylor Swift tickets for sex acts and nude photos before he died.

Kent Stermon, who was found dead in December 2022 after purportedly committing suicide, had been facing charges of false imprisonment and solicitation for prostitution, according to News4JAX. He killed himself before he could be charged in the case.

The outlet reported that it “started with a series of social media messages and telephone calls between an unidentified young woman and Stermon in which Stermon claimed that he could get tickets and VIP access for her to a Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour concert in Tampa.”

“Investigators said Stermon set up a fake email account and pretended to be a backstage security staffer who was a gatekeeper for VIP access to the concert. Stermon, pretending to be the staffer, then coerced the woman, who he knew, into sending provocative photos of herself and answering a series of personal questions, according to the SAO,” News4JAX reported on Saturday. “While this was going on, Stermon was also talking to the young woman through his personal cell phone. He later told the woman to buy the concert tickets and said he would reimburse her, the investigation found, and then told her to come by his office to get the money for the tickets.”

When the woman showed up at Stermon’s office, he would not let her leave the room until she showed him her breasts, according to the woman.

“The woman said she eventually told her father what happened and he confronted Stermon before the two reported the incident to police on Nov. 29,” the outlet wrote. “Because investigators found Stermon used a fake Yahoo account to contact the woman, he also faced potential charges of unlawful use of a two-way communication device.”

Stermon is also identified in the news report as a “long-time friend to Gov. Ron DeSantis.”

According to the Miami Herald reporting, Thiokol booster engineers questioned the ability of the booster seals to function properly due to the overnight freezing temperatures and recommended postponing the launch until the seals reached a higher ambient temperature.

Due to turnaround time, this decision would have delayed the launch for a period past Reagan’s desired PR window.  . .

Reprogramming Funds: Understanding the Appropriators’ Perspective

On paper, the appropriations process isn’t complicated; in actual practice, complications seem to increase each year. In the days of doing more with less, it is a highly competitive process. Appropriators are charged with divvying up a little over $1.0 trillion in scarce taxpayer dollars - and they take the job seriously. $1.0 trillion is a lot of money, but when you start splitting it among 12 subcommittees, it goes fast.

We make money every time we get someone to fire an obsolescent weapon for us.

The current demil stockpile is estimated at almost 480,000 short tons of conventional ammunition and more than 300,000 missiles and missile components. At an approximate cost of 1,800 per ton to demil this stockpile with future additions or generations, the demil liability to DOD is almost 2 billion through the current budget and program years. At the current funding level, the stockpile, instead of getting smaller, continues to grow.

They are very hardy. The easiest thoing to do is check the local Daylily club (there are ones in each region) to get an idea. The ones to look for are the dormant varieties. I thinkmost of these make it through almost any winter, especially with a little compost on top.
