Looks like today is going to be another day of climate change! Which actually frees up my evening because that really just means my son’s baseball game was rained out.
So in that event, I am making chili. I like to do it with a pound of pork and a pound of beef tips. I’m leaving that statement with no further context.
Enalces!
There is ample precedent for the US bombing Mexico. Just ask Santa Ana and Pancho Villa.
Perhaps Mexicans might drive electric cars, if they weren’t hiding from the US bombings, and whatever the hell this is.
News from Don Brett’s operation showing they’re producing more cocaine than ever.
MAGA Republicans sent it. I guarantee it.
As Dr. Warty pointed out this morning, a gang beating you senseless in the process of robbing you IS a form of democracy in action.
Was the surprise that he was investigated for graft or that he resigned?
Here’s the last tune I heard before I got home this morning. Have a great Tuesday.
Just re-watched Tombstone for reasons and it … has not worn well for me. YMMV. I loved it when it came out and now, ugh.
Im still your huckleberry.
I rewatched it about a month ago myself for the first time in ages. The first part was still good but the end of movie hunt down and take revenge scenes were silly this go around.
I’m skeert to rewatch Young Guns, but also I have no reason to.
Leave the past in the past.
*Searches Tubi. Makes notes.
I’ve avoided rewatching it due to that concern.
World record for falling out of love with a movie in our family: Stargate. Wife and I saw it and loved it… went to rewatch it (still in the theater and all)… and realized that with the mystery of just what-the-hell-is-going-on gone, it really didn’t work for us. Probably why I never bothered with the 15 years or whatnot of TV spinoffs.
I can’t even with this…
This is why you’re not my telepathic puppeteer.
Stargate always seemed a little silly to me.
Really? You don’t believe that the US doctrine if a new dimension is discovered is to send in some Air Force guys, on foot, with a nuke?
And get brutally raped by woodland critters? Or ManBearPig emerges? I may be crossing the streams here a bit…

One of the series best multi-episodes they have
The line where Sam Elliott tells the townsfolk they can’t carry in town always pisses me off.
That’s still technically in effect.
Is it really? I’m surprised, since AZ is a Constitutional carry state.
There’s a lot of actors there pretending to be cowboys, once you leave the tourist areas its probably cool.
One of them a few years actually forgot to switch his real revolver with the one loaded with blanks and did in fact shoot one of the Clanton’s.
Huh, I watched it again a couple of years ago, and still loved it.
Wut? I have seen it numerous times. Still love it.
My wife is pretty adamant about “chili” only having ground beef as the meat. I’ve done other things before (I’m partial to dicing up some steak… I think of it as chili con carne asada), and she was…. less than pleased and let me know it.
So I’m not going to criticize what or how you do it.
I add three different kinds of peppers and… Beans and onions.
No garlic?
Beans? Then you are not making chili, but spicy bean soup!
Whatever you name it, I call it delicious.
Can we all just admit it, that beans are what poor people eat when they can’t get food.
Isnt that the punchline to an old joke about a Southern Belle?
“Why I don’t know what you call it- but I call it precious!”
Just like BBQ where I like it all, I like Chili with and without beans.
I’ve got a base recipe that as adjustments for most any meat you want to add. I did find a bacon chili recipe that I made once, it was interesting, but the bacon doesn’t really add much after stewing for a while.
I use, as a minimum, three kinds of meat (cubed venison or beef if venison is not available, cubed pork, some kind of sausage, preferably chorizo) three kinds of beans (frijoles pintos, frijoles rojos, frijoles negros) and at least five kinds of peppers, variety dependent on who will be partaking.
For the family, I have to make it blander than I prefer. When it’s just me, as occasionally happens, I make the full-up kind that some who have sampled it call Uncle Animal’s Thermonuclear Bowel-Basher. Besides me, only Loyal Sidekick Rat likes the full-up concoction.
Its all about those peppers and treating them right. Everything else falls into place.
Bowel -basher was my nickname in college.
Must have made it hard to get dates (outside of girls who were into anal, I suppose…)

I make a few adjustments but this is decent:

And it worked out so well in the past!
And Schlichter covered it well — still not a good idea.
Biden never met a stupid idea he didn’t like. Says Mr. Double-Negative. Also, it would add grief to Texas. Which he hates. It will happen.
There is a massive fentanyl problem, and in one of the other links, we see cocaine production is the highest ever. But it doesn’t make sense to start bombing Mexico unless the border is first secured. Which of course is never going to happen under Biden.
How can you say that?
Oh, right.
Who the fuck are these NGOs?
Texas, and other states hit hard with the illegal crisis, need to put out arrest warrant’s for the heads of the NGO’s that facilitate this. Blatantly attempting to facilitate the trafficking of minors, to start with. Stop fucking around, and make some peoples heads hurt.
And on the other end there are numerous NGO’s taking care of them when they get here.
That’s what baffles me. There are conspiracies and organizations operating overtly and quite publicly to break US immigration law, and nobody does a fucking thing about them.
Why should they? The U.S. government breaks U.S. immigration law.
Unjust laws should be broken.
Is our immigration law a mess? You bet.
Does that mean we should open the borders to all comers? Ima say, no. Since I don’t believe doing so is remotely in the best interests of American citizens. We have imported the equivalent of 4 – 5 Tucsons in the last few years, very few of them equipped to be successful in the US, and as a group a net drain on the fisc and misc. bits of the infrastructure like education and healthcare. I, for one, am not a fan.
Perhaps Mexicans might drive electric cars,…
Why? When you can still get an old school Beetle?

Our car import laws suck ass.
Our
car importlaws suck ass.But yes. There are many I would happily import. Like a stripped down Hilux with a diesel.
Or Mercedes that will run on regular diesel. They’ll also run on low-sulfur diesel, but they won’t shut down on regular diesel, so they’re illegal.
You dont mean the red-dye diesel that I thought about (*cough*) putting in my Cummins?
Why, that would be wrong.
Also, even though ULSD eats up fuel-pumps, and having some #2 fuel oil on hand (with sulfur) is a great solution, puttin it in your truck is wrong, m’kay
Ha! I got inspected for that recently. They sampled all of my truck fuel tanks.
. . . stripped down Hilux with a diesel.
Tundra gets it.
Land Rover Defenders FTW.
The Best 4x4xFar.
After a year in Afghanistan, I gotta go with the Hilux.
“Mexico makes lots of electric cars, but few Mexicans drive them”
Nobody said Mexicans were stupid. Wouldn’t be the first time they made some coin selling stuff to gringos they don’t bother with themselves.
Be AFRAID
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a public safety alert warning Americans about the widespread threat of fentanyl mixed with xylazine, an animal tranquilizer commonly referred to as “tranq.”
“Xylazine is making the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, fentanyl, even deadlier,” said DEA Administrator Ann Milgram. “DEA has seized xylazine and fentanyl mixtures in 48 of 50 states.”
Maybe, just maybe, you could stop making the country into such an awful, insufferable shithole. Then people might not be so desperate to find a mechanism of escape.
“a gang beating you senseless in the process of robbing you IS a form of democracy in action”
That’s Our Democracy. And Justice.
I was just going with “The dream of the IRS” myself….
I remember that. It makes sense to restrict carry there, I suppose, given that there is actual (pretend) gunplay. Hadn’t thought about it before.
I like to do it with a pound of pork and a pound of beef tips.
I used to do pork plus beef, but I switched to just using pork country style ribs on the bone. Toss ’em in the crockpot and when they fall apart, I add the rest of the ingredients.
For you, P Brooks…

You left off the most important information!
Beans or no beans?
There is one correct answer to that, but to take a side is to upset those who are wrong.
The one correct answer is pineapple.
I would rather have deep dish Hawaiian pizza than chili with beans.
Better than deep dish pizza with beans or chili with pineapple.
This guy gets it!
Would you have banana curry pizza instead of chili with beans?

Dude, we are supposed to call them illegals now.
If there are no beans in the chili, you can’t blame it for all the farts. And if you can’t fart, why even bother going on living?
Besides, if you don’t have beans in the chili, you basically have sloppy joes.
Minnesoda Chili:
Ketchup
Ground beef
Beans
Minnesoda Sloppy Joes
Ketchup
Ground beef
So I think you really need to have the beans just so everyone at the potluck knows what they are getting into. Imagine the embarrassment if someone started putting your chili on a bun because they thought it was a sloppy joe.
This guy gets it
“M’sieu, ze fart, she is life!”
Most of my family is in the mo bean category. I however, add kidney beans for myself.
Mo bean, or no bean? They’re kind of opposites.
When I want to go all purist, I go with Abuela Dean’s New Mex recipe (“First take some chili pods off the ristra. . . . “). But I have had chili with all kinds of ingredients. I still think olives are kinda weird in chili, but what matters is, does it taste good?
Typo. The family is no beans, which leaves mo beans for me.
Kidney beans?!
*shudder*
Please, pinto..
Brazilian customs agents found the jewelry in the backpack of a government aide traveling with the country’s then-energy minister in October 2021. The minister and aide were returning from a mining conference in Saudi Arabia.
He failed his bribery skill check.
You’ve got to do it like Pat Robertson did and have your wife wear them when returning.
You’re supposed to stuff valuables like that in your kid’s diapers when going through customs, uh, so I hear. But I guess not too many people take their kid on a business trip to Saudi Arabia.
Tha’ts a dirty trick.
And if customs figures out your dirty trick and seizes your contraband, you will be literally wiped out.
If you don’t wrap it properly, the money does need to be laundered afterward. Again, so I’ve heard.
Sounds like either way, you’ve got a mess on your hands.
Dude, you’re in the government. That’s what diplomatic pouches are for.
Amateurs.
ORLY?
I guess 13x higher is a kind of “par”. 🙄
Yeah, I thought that was a lie, but then for some reason thought: ‘na, they wouldn’t possibly tell such a big lie, I must be mistaken’
Dunno why I still underestimate them after the past 8 years.
Overall, the the report found Europe and North America are the largest markets for cocaine, followed by South and Central America and the Caribbean.
While the report said the markets in Africa and Asia were “still limited”, the UN’s Ghada Waly said the potential for the market to expand there was a dangerous reality.
So expensive recreational pharmaceuticals go where there’s money to buy them. Damn, never would’ve figured out that one by myself.
Of course, once some enterprising soul teaches the sub-Saharans to bake crack, then we should see the market really open up.
#4 PROFIT!!!!
Shpip, I love your bull terrier avatars. Am old enough to remember Spuds McKenzie but have never somehow met one.
Spuds? You mean Chris Sabo
Damn it…..Chris Sabo
Keep damning it.
I fuckin quit. Google him yourselves.
I can’t help wondering how much American bank regulators contributed to the failure of Credit Suisse.
I wonder how much American bank regulators contribute to the cocaine market.
You mean as individuals or in their official capacity?
Why not both?
In the spirit of Mexi’s enlaces:
“Por que no los dos?”
Shouldn’t we take all factors into account when we calculate their cocaine footprint?
Credit Suisse is mostly to blame.
Crazy risk seeking deals over years and revolving door management that couldn’t control the bankers or the risks.
Not to mention, a batshit crazy man in charge of global markets.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

TLDR: If it’s accurate, the Fed just fucked the ECB and Soros in the ass without any lube.
Beef. Beans.
Meh frijoles negro or GTFO
Si.
“Chili” without beans is gravy.
Great. Now I want Skyline. Or Gold Star.
No.
I concur with NO.
As a purist, I only fuck with coneys. I dont mix sketti with chili. Or any of their other horrid menu items.
The salad isnt bad, but I can make that at home.
Just got the final results from the tax accountant. Why do I even bother working?
To do your duty as an American and give your FairShare® to Ukraine and Zelensky.
Oh, and to bail out banks.
So you can pay your taxes?
Both correct answers unfortunately.
At least now you have something to talk to Elon about next time you are having beers.
Because IRS agents and accountants need to eat too?
I found a $80k depreciation mistake on my corporate returns today.
That would have been a pisser if I had submitted it to the IRS and they caught it.
For you, P Brooks…
Thanks, B>p.
Maybe they’ll boo her off the stage.
Also- I’m pretty sure it was her sister who went to CC. With any luck, she’ll get booed off the stage by the militant queers.
That’s some fine proofreading, Brooks.
Got back from a 10 day road trip a couple hours ago. My legs are like rubber, my back has a new creak in it, and there is a fresh 3K miles on my rig. I saw family and friends I haven’t seen in years, hit five states, and was probably within touching distance of a few Glibs, but was moving to fast to stop.
I feel rejuvenated.
Don’t touch Winston’s Mom.
If you passed through Indiana, I hope you at least waved out the window.
They put a gun in his open hand.
Welcome back! I’m glad you had a great time!
Sometimes a good road trip is just the thing.
It was awesome. Drover over two snowy mountain ranges before plowing, relived the California sunshine, stared at the ocean. In short, did what I needed. I do this every spring, gives the wife some time to herself, and we start missing each other. Very important.
Got a great piece of news this afternoon. My neighbor two doors down (semi-retired from the Ornithology Department at Big College) spent a few months in western South America last year, and discovered that the Peruvian Pygmy Owl is a cooperative hunter. Apparently, one owl will spook or flush the prey into revealing it’s camouflaged position in the tree canopy, while the other pounces on it. They join the Harris’s hawk as the only avian species known to exhibit this behavior. His paper on the subject was accepted to one of the better peer-reviewed journals and will be published in May.
“I had always suspected this about the little critters,” he told me today, “but then I confirmed it. Peruvian owls are Inca hoots.”

Sir, this is a nice establishment.
Fishing with my dad ten years ago, we would watch an osprey catch a fish only to then be harassed by an eagle until it let go of the fish. The eagle would then pounce on the fish and the osprey would have to catch another one.
I submit to you that that is more highly evolved joint cooperative effort than your pygmy owls. Your cooperative effort is like a primitive hunter/gatherer group. The cooperation we witnessed was more like our modern Democracy and therefore far better.
Are you Italian? ‘Cause that is a Guinea Fowl!
Now you are just parroting the line of bullshit that society fed you.
Once capon a time we were free to gambol about the country. Now you are creating fake laws.

“America’s deadly fungus hotspots revealed: Interactive map shows how New York, Illinois and California have highest cases of Candida auris that kills up to 60% of patients – so where does YOUR state rank?”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11886069/Interactive-map-reveals-Americas-Candida-auris-hotspots.html
No.
Looks like we’re in good shape up here.
“Healthy people do not usually get sick, but among the frail and vulnerable, it kills up to 60 percent.”
Hmmm…..seems Ive recently heard that about another pathogen.
It only makes sense that we take 2 weeks to flatten the fungal curve.
Does it feed on high state income taxes?
lol
Most articles that point out that New York, Illinois and California are the worst in the country at something don’t usually go with “fungal infections”. Unless that’s some kind of code or euphemism.
High tax, high regulation, Blue dominated shitholes also have bad health outcomes?

Has to be the same person. Other wise all the brain damaged teachers have weak chins, emaciated bodies and giant round glasses.
Chilli is supposed to be a dish made with only peppers, meat water and seasonings. I’m not good at following rules, so I add what I have to make a chilli styled stew.
My favorite is to make a chilli out of leftover BBQ meats and possibly beans. So pork, beef and chicken.
My only real traditional must have is using real chillies or good chilli powders as the base, not tomato’s.
Meat, water not meat water.
I will now refer to broth as meat water.
We are Meat Water and we are here to confuse you!
So a new keto friendly drink.
“ Meat water, for the very first time””
Yes!
Does beer count as water or seasonings?
It comes across as life.
So, yes.
I will accept the removal of all tomato products from chili, as that seems wise and profitable.
Wow!
A ray of sunshine!
Nice job, AZ!
Wow, didn’t think that’d pass.
“Fuck you,

Darke County man accused of starting barn fire, responding to scene as firefighter
Relevant.
Fuck that guy. My best friend lost his entire workshop with all of his vehicles and equipment last night. Not arson, but fires can ruin people.
Arsonists are complete pieces of shit.
According to what I read in James Clavell’s novels, arson was to be punished with not only his death but that of all his generations.
Is his middle name “Bending”?
Of all the weird things I have come across in my life, one of the most odd was having witnessed a fire that Joseph Wambaugh wrote a book about the arsonist, a fireman in California. Didn’t know it for years, and then, only found out when watching some daytime TV when hung over.
This was the book he wrote about it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21493.Fire_Lover

Not a single dem voted for it.
Veto bait for Gov. Hobbs. We’ll see if the AZ Repubs grow a brain and a spine and roast her for it – “Gov. Hobbs thinks your sons and daughters should go overseas to shot at and blown up in countries we aren’t even at war with.”
That’s our plan of attack, however small the megaphone may be.
Were you expecting something different?
The Democrats are wholly in on federalization of everything and subordination of federal laws to international treaties. There is no way they’ll vote for anything remotely resembling states’ rights.
Nope
