Blue-Dress Proof
What it takes to get the media to believe something bad about a Democrat.
The Deplorables
It’s time for them to become the unconquerables.
[Saturday-morning update]
Roger Simon: The deplorables must cement control over the Republican Party.
Jill Biden’s “Doctorate”
It’s garbage because her dissertation is garbage.
Other than Michael Mann, I don’t know any PhD physicists who insist on being called “Dr.” That vanity is reserved for less secure people with lesser degrees.
[Update a while later]
Hans Bader isn’t impressed, either.
[Update early afternoon]
[Saturday-afternoon update]
Jill Biden: “I worked really hard on this.”
She doesn’t realize that makes it even worse.
The New Mad Left
Where did it come from?
“Social Justice”
I’m hoping that the coming crime wave won’t extend to the beach cities. I suspect it won’t, because the criminals will want to stay in the jurisdiction in which they’ll be coddled.
[Update a while later]
Well, this sucks. It’s the LA County DA, so it will affect us as well.
Chuck Yeager
Homer Hickam remembers him.
Ellen Page
These are worse than Heinlein’s Crazy Years.
The UFO Phenomenon
Is it about to get real?
McDonald’s Fries
A history, and a recipe. I disagree with this, though:
His cholesterol was over 300, comfortably in the danger zone for heart attacks. Lack of self-control aside, it was fatty foods that nearly killed him. Thus, when he emerged from the hospital, he did so on a one-man mission to fight Big Fat.
It was not the fat that nearly killed him. We now have abundant evidence that the problem with McDonald’s fries was not the tallow, but the potatoes themselves. I’ve long advocated that, given that the company is the largest cattle rancher in the world, it should go back to tallow, and get rid of the unhealthy seed oils.
What I don’t understand about the recipe is why it uses Crisco, with just a little tallow added, presumably for flavor. It would probably be much better, and certainly healthier, to simply fry them in pure tallow.
