For the information of Facebook users:
There is a Facebook group called Conservative Treehouse, and they don’t outright claim to be affiliated with CTH, but they don’t correct anyone who makes that assumption, and until an hour or so ago, they were linking to the CTH website, as if they are affiliated.
My guess is that they are monetizing the site, or will. I contacted them by messenger, and they are real smart asses.

I watched the movie on a console TV, with full ear-covering headphones, in my teens, a decade before I read the series. I didn’t understand the film at the time, but it actually made the books make more sense. I can’t say that for any work of fiction before or since that has been made into film. Most film adaptations don’t do justice to the books I had read.
It was too ambitious a film, and it should have been made a trilogy, at the least. Yet we get fifty Transformers movies and Alien/Predator movies instead.

But I had a sous-chef working in our kitchen a few years back who would recall a woman chef teaching them when they were in their just post-high school years who would use the word “Melange” a lot to describe the combination of flavors in a dish. That’s why the snark about culinary.
Look, when I nap, I’m in a kitchen in my dreams. I hate that, but it’s where I’m at. Then I wake up and bike to a kitchen and feed customers good food. and make a kitchen look new by 11 PM.
I wake up, and I look up, and pray, and smile, and get up. It’s all I can do.
Today’s my day off. I’m going in anyway. 30-top, limited menu, coming in at 5. And all because I’m sure the guy they have in my place won’t be able to handle it.
I know this because yesterday, after I had had a day off, three servers told me how much they missed me, and my work. My current boss told my former boss, as they sat at the bar, as they are wont to do from time to time, to shut up. That Wooly is actually quite an incredible employee and a bonus to the whole enterprise. Chef told me this today. Current owner shut up former bossman with truth.
Former bossman made me a double cheeseburger yesterday, just for the heck of it I guess. I donno.

Two of my kids work in a restaurant…you know it’s been too many days in a row when they dream of work. My daughter, Clarissa, who works as a Kitchen Prep in the back of the house, recently dreamed of a super picky customer that demanded a bowl of chili with Exactly 211 beans in it…so she was literally counting beans in her dream…& this customer got mad that it took so long & stormed out of the restaurant. Of course “bean counting” isn’t a real part of her job.
Since both these kids are on break from college they often go in on their day off (there’s always decent staff turn over there) so they are both glad to rack up the Overtime while they can.
Hope your 30-top event went well. Dreaming of being in the kitchen rarely happens to me, but then I’m not in the real kitchen very often either–’cause I can’t take the heat!

The smell of that buttered toast simply talked to Toad, and with no uncertain voice; talked of warm kitchens, of breakfasts on bright frosty mornings, of cosy parlour firesides on winter evenings, when one’s ramble was over and slippered feet were propped on the fender, of the purring of contented cats, and the twitter of sleepy canaries.”

Under pressure from President Donald Trump to cut the cost of the next Air Force Ones, the U.S. Air Force is finalizing a deal with Boeing to purchase two undelivered 747s in storage in the Mojave desert.
As Defense One first reported yesterday:
The 747s that will be transformed for Presidential transport were originally ordered in 2013 by Transaero, which was Russia’s second-largest airline until it went bankrupt in 2015. Boeing built two of the four jets in the order, but the airline never took ownership of them.
Typically, an airline makes a 1 percent down payment when it orders a plane, then pays the balance in installments. Transaero did not fulfill its scheduled payments, according to an industry source.
“Aeroflot absorbed most of Transaero’s existing fleet, but declined to pick up Transaero’s 747-8I orders worth $1.5 billion at list prices,” FlightGlobal reported last month.

Environmental rules waived to expedite Border Wall construction
http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/08/environmental-rules-waived-to-expedite-border-wall-construction/
The Department of Homeland Security trumped the Environmental Protection Agency, waiving numerous rules that could have delayed the construction of the border wall between the United States and Mexico with lawsuits or studies.
Laws intended to protect endangered species and habitat at the border by requiring environmental impact reports can be circumvented by a wavier issued by the department, it said. The announcement was only tied to the San Diego area.
“This waiver is pursuant to authority granted to the Secretary of Homeland Security by Congress and covers a variety of environmental, natural resource, and land management laws,” the department said in a press release.
Border wall prototypes and a physical wall in San Diego could begin in November at the earliest. The waiver opens the door for drilling work by the Army Corps of Engineers and road construction to begin sooner, although a timeline has yet to be provided by the Trump administration.

Ridding the desert of the paper trash including food wrappings of all kinds, dirty diapers, clothing, bedding, pots/pans/utensils,etc. the illegal aliens leave behind PLUS ridding America of the destructive drug trade will more than offset whatever environmental problems are brought about by the security wall. Protecting American citizens living on the border is of much greater importance than worrying whether various animals will have their migration patterns changed. The flora and fauna will survive as has been happening for thousands of years.

“Boston Globe: Coming Solar Eclipse Unfair, It’s Only Visible in ‘Trump Country’”
In case you were needing another example of why everyone distrusts the media and why Donald Trump became president, we give you The Boston Globe and writer Matt Rocheleau who wants to know, “Is the eclipse throwing shade at Clinton supporters?” Yes, The Globe actually politicized the upcoming solar eclipse.
Later this month, August 21st, there will be a rare total solar eclipse that will be visible in the United States from coast to coast. However, if you don’t happen to live in the middle of the transit — a thin path of totality — you will only see a partial eclipse. And that’s where Rocheleau believes Hillary supporters are being discriminated against:

I don’t know what “season” he’s up to by now, but I like all his albums bigly.
Does he contradict himself with his criticism in this song of shows with “seasons”? I ask even though I don’t watch TV shows. Musicians are my “seasons”. I can’t wait for Adele’s next album. Or Walk Off The Earth’s. Especially Bobby McFerrin’s. Are those my distractions from reality?
He talks about cognitive dissonance, too, in this song. Holding two opposing views at the same time. It leads to insanity, except in the Left. Jack has a lot of wisdom and love in his music. I’m kinda sure he’s far-Prog, but I could be wrong, and he could be changing, like everyone does.

Emailed Tesla as there’s an appeal to that new model 3 they’re putting out and it’s right in that new car price range.
Seems that price is for the base model – operant word is ‘base’. Certain things that make it really concenient, such as a color other than black (shades of Henry Ford) and a charging system that recharges the battery in less time than it takes to raise a goat…are extra.
Three issues that caught me were: (1) the closest electrician they recommend who could install the the specisl charging outlet I’d need for the bigger battery is 80 miles away (think of that bill), (2) what would one do in a hurricane-rich area with that car stuck in evacuation gridlock and no widespread charging stations available, (3) what about liability for the autopilot equipped version were one in an accident?
Those hi-mileage cars that use gas are still looking to be the best bet…looking into seeing which small farm engines could be converted to burn alcohol.

Even the southern third of our continent never invented boats. No… boats came to them, courtesy of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. So they hate us and want to take us over and erroneously call it a re-conquest, as if we (English and Scots) did it and not Spain.
They are just starting to realize that working in restaurant kitchens is better than working in the fields, in Michigan. Now all the farmers are suffering from a lack of employees, because all the people from the southern part of our continent are now working in kitchens.
Are they going to leave the landscaping industry next?
Looks like an opportunity to me.

Local news is showing noticeably Latino activists assembling to pressure politicians to stop using public funds to enforce illegal immigrant laws and instead use it to improve public transportation and infrastructure. Sure, why not make it easier for them to reach the welfare offices and associated taxpayer funded services?
As far as public transport goes they could use some money to put metal detectors on busses that serve heavily thug-infested areas and free hazmat suits for riders who sit on the seats would be
appreciated.

My GGS, steeped in the lore of Hollyork BS, came to me to tell me that revolvers sucked and semiautos ruled. In defense of my ‘it ain’t the gun it’s the shooter’ credo I too kind a minute and showed him a segment of my favorite gunner proving ‘it’s the shooter’ .

I saw a video a few years ago, for the Kennedy consipracy folks, a shooter with Lee Harvey’s model, repeating his shots, just to prove it actually can be done. He did it, and accurately.

Early on, when he says into the mic, “Turn the bass down, a**hole!”, he was right.
This is a guitar artist, and this is a guitar show. Someone on the mixing board did what he asked, no matter how politely he asked.

One more comment on this amazing concert:
Who here has heard the name Popa Chubby, or heard his Jimi covers, let alone his entire other collection? Nobody?
Me, neither. He’s a black belt than never participated in competitions.
Like Joe Bonamassa. Only the git-fiddlers ever hear of these guys.
Everyone knows Steve Vai’s name. And Stevie Ray’s. And Satriani’s. And Eddie Van Halen’s. And so many others’ names. These two are better than all the well-known, and are revered by the well-known for their superior skill. Chubby and Bonamassa are more respected by the the guitarists and performers we respect. That’s how good they are.
Billy Gibbons wants to shine Chubby’s shoes.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen

Miracle At Dunkirk
http://www.hoover.org/research/miracle-dunkirk
… Finally, the miracle at Dunkirk reminds us of the underappreciated but pivotal British role in World War II. We often reduce the Allied victory to the blood of Russian manpower and the treasure of American supply. And there is much truth to both those generalizations. But spiritually, we should remind ourselves that Britain was the only major power on either side to both begin the global war on its first day and continue to fight it until its last, six years later. It was also the only major power to fight the Third Reich alone, which it did courageously between June 25, 1940 and June 22, 1941. It was the only Allied nation to declare war on the Axis for the principled promise to an ally, Poland, rather than because it was either surprise-attacked or had war declared on it first. British genius gave the Allies everything from sonar to Firefly Sherman tanks to the Ultra intercepts to the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine in the superb American P-51 Mustang.
In sum, Dunkirk is an impressive postmodern glimpse of a premodern nightmare, but a view nonetheless that is without a strategic or political—or much of any—context. Such a landmark event is diminished to a story about any war, rather than the singular British existential struggle to stop Nazi Germany.

There’s one woman at work I hug almost every time I see her.
Can’t help it. Her older, military son committed suicide a few years ago. I can empathize, because my brother, and also she hugs me back just as tight.
Her younger son is Miles. I remember when he was bussing tables at my last restaurant, when he was 10. No, that was not allowed by state law. Now he’s nearly 15 and bussing tables at my current place.
I hadn’t seen or heard from this wonderful lady for a few years, but when I saw her being interviewed, while I was working, dirty apron and all, she saw me and got up and hugged me. I need to let this woman know how much that means to me. How good that feels. How rare that is. Like I said, I hug her on sight. And she hugs me back, bigly.
Miles is a good kid, too. He loves to work, and to learn.
