Here’s something hopeful for 2024…Klannie Oakley hopefully getting the boot from Colorado voters!
Lauren Boebert’s Dem rival raises ‘jaw-dropping’ campaign cash: reports
I will confess I sent him some $$$$ to get that crank yanker out of Congress.
In the wake of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) vape-and-grope scandal at the “Beetlejuice” musical, the Democrat candidate coming for her congressional Colorado seat has raked in a “jaw-dropping” amount of campaign cash, according to new reports.
Adam Frisch, a former Aspen City Council member, has raised more than $7.7 million to run against Boebert in the race for Colorado’s 3rd district, according to Business Insider and Time. Frisch doesn’t expect the cash tap to turn off soon, he told Time.
“I’m confident we’re going to report very strong fundraising numbers yet again,” Frisch reportedly said.
Boebert — a MAGA firebrand who struggled to win the historically conservative seat in 2020 — has seen a rocky term in office that Business Insider reports is reflected in her own campaign coffers.
Boebert raised just $2.4 million this cycle and only $854,000 between July and September, a quarter that saw Frisch bring in $3.4 million, according to the Business Insider report.
Former President Donald Trump is planning an aggressive expansion of his first-term efforts to upend America’s trade policies if he returns to power in 2025 — including imposing a new tax on ‘most imported goods’ that would risk alienating allies and igniting a global trade war,” the New York Times reports.

The tribes bring their claims under Washington’s Products Liability Act for failure to warn, misrepresentation and intentional concealment. The complaints request jury trials, and ask the court to order the companies to create a fund to be managed by the tribes to remediate and adapt reservation lands, natural resources and infrastructure to climate change.
The lawsuits follow the path of more than 20 local and state governments that have sued fossil fuel companies over their role in climate change since 2017, according to E&E News.

Guess who is getting roasted for defending Fat Q*bert’s Christmas rants?
If you guessed Jonathan TURDLEY…BINGO!!!!!
Jonathan Turley ripped for defending Trump’s ‘rot in hell’ rant: ‘Rationalize the irrational’
The following day, law professor Jonathan Turley went to X, formerly Twitter, and said of the diatribe, “Trump’s message of ‘May They Rot in Hell…Merry Christmas’ is to holiday greetings what Die Hard is to Christmas movies: a matter of considerable interpretation for those of us stuck in the Peace-on-Earth or even just Ho-Ho-Ho mindset.”
Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann tweeted, “My god Jon, what is he blackmailing you WITH? It’s clearly a doozy.”
Chris Cillizza told Turley, “Uh, what?”
Pundit Adam Goldberg tweeted, “For brief moments (there aren’t many) when I don’t feel embarrassed to have sought out @JonathanTurley’s class when I was in school, he goes out of his way to shame an institution I hold dear, @gwlaw, at every possible turn even on a holiday. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.”
Self-described “recovering lawyer” @Nats2024 said of Turley, “How does @gwlaw still employ this clown?”
Pundit Bruce Goldberg tweeted, “The gospel according to @JonathanTurley : 1. Rationalize the irrational 2. Comprehend the incomprehensible 3. Defend the indefensible.”
Activist @colmant_ told Turley, “You embarrass yourself on a regular basis.”

There are about a hundred varieties. A deli style mustard and, as said above, a good cheese. Sharp for me. A beer of your choice also pairs well.
Could be harder or softer depending. See how much garlic they used because I ate some that turned me into a garlic furnace once or 8 times.

In my youth, summer sausage was taken, along with extra sharp longhorn cheddar and saltines, on every fishing trip.

Eat it. A summer sausage is a sausage that doesn’t need to be refrigerated (will keep in warm weather).

From Wiki:
Summer sausage is an American term for a sausage that can be kept without refrigeration until opened. Summer sausage is made of beef, pork, or sometimes venison. Summer sausage is fermented, and can be dried or smoked, and while curing ingredients vary significantly, curing salt is almost always used.

Slice it up, dip it in honey mustard / spicey mustard / dijon mustard, and as you progress get creative in blending your mustards, and add some horseradish.

I was wondering if anyone else remembered. Magnus Robot Fighter.
Mad magazine had a parody called “Mag-nut, Robot-Biter” including his faithful robot wonder-dog, RinTinCan.
That train left the station on it’s deeper trajectory into right wing politics.
‘Incumbent’ on Christians to condemn ‘extremism in the church’ for democracy’s sake: evangelical
This Christmas, a journalist raised in the evangelical tradition called on his fellow believers to confront the rise of Christian nationalism before it tears apart the fabric of society.
In a recent essay for The Atlantic, journalist Tim Alberta — the son of a megachurch pastor who has identified as an evangelical since childhood — warned of the creeping threat that Christian nationalism poses to society as a whole.
“The crisis at hand is not simply that Christ’s message has been corroded, but that his Church has been radicalized,” Alberta wrote, adding that “culture-war flash points have accelerated notions of imminent Armageddon inside American Christendom.”
“A community that has always felt misunderstood now feels marginalized, ostracized, even persecuted. This feeling is not relegated to the fringes of evangelicalism,” he continued. “In fact, this fear — that Christianity is in the crosshairs of the government, that an evil plot to topple America’s Judeo-Christian heritage hinges on silencing believers and subjugating the Church — now animates the religious right in ways that threaten the very foundations of our democracy.”
What Alberta fails to note is that it’s too late to apply the brakes on a movement that is all in with turning America into a fascist dictatorship.

re: #48 Joe Bacon ✅
We are beginning to deal with the loss-of-god problem, here in the US.
The role of religious belief in a person’s life is different than a role in the life of a society.
That writer in The Atlantic is dealing by defending what he no-doubt believes is the true meaning of Christianity.
As in, No True Christian would be wanting a Christian Nationalist movement.
This is not a new dance. It’s an old dance.
American churches are being caught up in an global surge in nationalism.
That said churches wrap Christianity around their nationalism is also an old dance.

Trump’s apparent insurance solution is Socialism.
Not with a small “s” like Obamacare, but according to his rhetoric appears much more like European Socialism. This is good for most people in America.
This is bad for corporations that have encouraged and funded Frankenstein’s monster for decades and now that monster is threatening, turning on them by “forcing” them to alter their business practices and calling for price controls.
Populism can be quick to turn on a dime in order for Dear Leader to be popular. These fucking corporations deserve a big stick up their ass. But this country does not deserve a Nazi like Trump doing it while also building concentration camps for his lesser “vermin” subhumans.
I wish some Democrat somewhere would call out Trump for his specific calls for Socialism and double down on it all the while promising equality and the end of bigotry at the same time.

re: #59 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
Because Christianity is, in this culture, sort of absorbed without learning history, all too often people just presume that the TV-version of the Protestant-version of the story of the Church is true.
Very much like the ideal family from 1950s TV.
Here is the reality: Christianity was born from nationalism.
Roman Judea was not a happy place. The religious of that day really did not like their Roman overlords.
Rome carried on an extensive, multi-decade war against their Judea province, to put an end to religious zealots fighting the Roman rule.
The Jewish zealots were nationalists. They were into nationalism. They did not want their nation ruled by Rome.
No one really knows the death toll, but after Masada, the century long struggle is estimated to have cost the lives of millions.
Christianity is explicitly apocalyptic. It’s the wharf and woof of the NT.
Because the people at that time were indeed experiencing an apocalypse.
It was an apocalypse over nationalism.
The canonical gospels are apocalyptic.
Paul was expecting the end, any day now.
The Book of Revelation is about Jesus destroying nations to institute his own rule. That’s because said book is a redaction masterpiece, taking Jewish writings (mostly the various versions of the Book of Daniel) and inserting Paul’s Jesus.
In no sense is nationalism foreign to Christianity.
Constantine embraced the idea that his empire needed a religion, and Christianity fit quite nicely, since Paul taught submission to the authority (which just happened to be Constantine.)
So I reject any idea that the nationalism found in today’s American churches is somehow foreign to Christianity.
Time to call it a day. Have a good one, Lizards and stay healthy.
re: #63 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
I should have written “but after the Bar Kokhba Revolt”.
The process of the destruction of Judea goes like this:
- Herod and his descendants are a disaster;
- continued zealotry and extremism up to 70CE;
- the siege and destruction of Jerusalem and the temple;
- continued fighting until the end of the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
All of that is the womb in which Christianity was formed.
If one had a time machine one could go back and make sure Antiochus IV Epiphanes never lived to rise to power. The world would be quite a bit different today.

The ring style is smaller and made to be finger food.
What I find is thinly sliced Lebanon bologna layered, folded, on a good bread with a horseradish type deli mustard is a treat.
And you can change the texture and flavor, in my taste buds, with the thickness of the slice.
Try Seltzers sliced very thin, almost chopped.

From da Wiki: “Summer sausage is an American term for a sausage that can be kept without refrigeration until opened. Summer sausage is made of beef, pork, or sometimes venison.[1] Summer sausage is fermented, and can be dried or smoked, and while curing ingredients vary significantly, curing salt is almost always used. Seasonings may include mustard seeds, black pepper, garlic salt, or sugar.[2][3] Fermentation of summer sausage lowers pH to slow bacterial growth and give a longer shelf life, causing a tangy taste. Sam Sifton, writing in the New York Times wrote, “It is gas-station salami, essentially, mail-order homespun funk.”[4] Summer sausages are often included in gift baskets sold by American online and mail order retailers like Harry & David, Wisconsin Cheeseman and Hickory Farms. [5] Armour has produced summer sausage for over 100 years.[6]
Historically, summer sausage predated refrigeration and referred to meats that could be consumed “in the summer months” when high temperatures would cause fresh meats to spoil. For this reason, they became popular gifts during the winter holidays, especially in German-American settler communities”
Cut it in thin slices (take the outer casing off) and eat it with good cheese (I like havarti or swiss or white cheddar) and a good cracker. A nice adult beverage is generally good with it. Some fruit pairs well with it too - grapes, berries, melon and the like. I’d love some right now.

Michigan Republican Party co-chair Malinda Pego has joined an effort to unseat her former running mate, co-chair Kristina Karamo.
The move comes as the state party faces financial troubles and internal division, the Detroit Newsreported.
In a 400-word email on Friday, Pego revealed she would sign a petition “to support a meeting for discussions of removal of our chair of the Michigan Republican state committee.”
Pego’s email did not mention Karamo by name.
“Due to a series of decisions and actions, there is a growing consensus among party members that a thorough review of the chair’s position is both necessary and appropriate,” she wrote in the email. “We need to make decisions that resonate with the sentiments of our delegates and every Republican voter in Michigan.”

With regard to the link downstairs about respiratory illnesses and immune debt.
Much of the rebound comes from people no longer taking precautions, like wearing masks. But COVID may also be having an effect.
The SARS-CoV2 virus, and actually ANY coronavirus, is very complex, being one of the largest RNA viruses around. It has many genes involved in more than just viral replication. These genes are designed to modulate and tampen down the immune system to allow viral replication. For example, interferon I levels, a major communicator of the innate immune system, are greatly reduced. Other genes may also activate immune regulators rendering them incapable of properly responding. This can lead to a cytokine cascade that is found in severe disease. Some viral genes also appear to impact the production of memory immune cells, making it likelier to get re-infected.
No other virus does all this to this degree. And we simply do not know how long those extra-viral effects last.
They may create a new immune system regime in the individual that remains present for years or may never go away. And the impact on immature immune systems adds another level of complexity. We simply do not know for sure because there has been no way to replicate this outside of a pandemic.
This may be one reason for long COVID. But my worry has been on the immune systems of young people, immune systems that are still developing and that can be more easily damaged. Immune dysregulation in the young is something we are just now getting at..
