From “West Wing Reads” 11-27-17:
In The Weekly Standard, Shannen Coffin argues that President Trump has the law on his side with his appointment of Mick Mulvaney as Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel “publicly released an opinion supporting the president’s designation,” writes Coffin, and that office “has long taken the position that the president can designate an acting official under the Vacancies Reform Act.”
————
Nine prominent economics experts wrote a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin published in The Wall Street Journal explaining why both the House and the Senate tax reform bills are “pro-growth.” Both bills would spur the investment and economic activity ultimately needed to drive down the cost of reform. A Wall Street Journal editorial citing the letter agrees on that point: “A mere four years of 3 percent growth – the U.S. historical norm – could fill a $1 trillion hole.”
————
Investor’s Business Daily says President Trump’s trip to Asia was a success, especially on the issue of trade. China announced on Thanksgiving that it has decided to “slash import taxes on some 187 consumer goods,” the editorial board explains.
————
Writing in Fox News, Chuck DeVore thinks President Trump’s “most significant contribution to a more prosperous America is also his least understood: his assault on the administrative state.” Only four times since 1960 has the tide of liberty managed to roll back government power. Should the President prevail, writes DeVore, the decade of growth that follows would almost certainly be unprecedented.

My grandmother taught a one room rural schoolhouse in East Texas, and the kids came when they could and as long as they could. Because agriculture was the only money crop for families with no money, and the harvest was mostly summer, that is why school originally had a “summer break” from class….the kids were working the fields with their entire family.

My mother picked tobacco in Canada in the 1930’s.

Eddie Ramirez, 15, outside his mobile home in Snow Hill, N.C. He’s been working in tobacco fields during the summer for several years.
Will Michaels for NPR
Kids under 18 can’t buy cigarettes in the U.S., but they can legally work in tobacco fields when they’re as young as 12.
One of those kids is Eddie Ramirez, 15, who works the fields in the summer.
“It just sticks to my hand,” he says of the plant. “It’s really sticky, you know, and really yellow.” It’s nearly impossible to wash off, he says.
A new report from Human Rights Watch says the practice of children farming tobacco is hazardous and should be stopped. The group interviewed more than 140 kids in 2012 and 2013, including Eddie, who work on tobacco farms in the South.
From the sparse mobile home he shares with his mother in Snow Hill, N.C., Eddie describes feeling lightheaded and queasy after a 12-hour day in the tobacco fields.
In the mornings, tobacco is wet because of the dew and, like, the rows are narrow and the tobacco is really big. You just feel like you’re suffocating or can’t breathe really well.
“In the mornings, tobacco is wet because of the dew and, like, the rows are narrow and the tobacco is really big. You just feel like you’re suffocating or can’t breathe really well,” he says. “You just want to stop and not do it no more.”
Eddie, who’s in the eighth grade, is hired by contractors who provide labor to growers in the area. His family came here from Honduras when he was 7. By the time he was 12, Eddie says, he had started working in the fields alongside his mother to help make ends meet.
“We found that the overwhelming majority of kids we interviewed got sick while they were working in tobacco fields with nausea, headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness,” says Human Rights Watch researcher Margaret Wurth. “And many of the symptoms they reported are consistent with acute nicotine poisoning, which happens when workers absorb nicotine through their skin.”
No one tracks how many kids work on tobacco farms, so there’s no way to know how common or widespread the practice is. But Human Rights Watch argues that it’s too hazardous and should be illegal.
Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, says the report points out a gaping hole in U.S. labor law.
“It’s outrageous that in 2014, children are still working in tobacco farms. It is well-known how dangerous exposure both to nicotine and to the many pesticides used on tobacco is to kids,” Myers says.
Congress has resisted changing farm labor laws, and the Labor Department withdrew proposed stricter standards for kids in 2012 under political pressure. Human Rights Watch is now calling on major tobacco companies to get kids out of the fields.
The report notes that tobacco giant Philip Morris International has the most comprehensive child labor policy — but that it doesn’t go far enough.
Miguel Coleta, director of external labor policies at PMI, says the child labor abuses outlined by Human Rights Watch violate company guidelines.
“If children are doing hazardous work, that has to stop,” Coleta says.
But Coleta says there are roles for kids younger than 18 on farms, under the right conditions. For example, he says, “ensuring that whatever children are doing on the farm is appropriate to their age and is not something that is undermining their health or their future.”
Top U.S. cigarette makers, including Altria and R.J. Reynolds, say they require growers to protect young workers. Altria spokesman Jeff Caldwell says there are some jobs kids can perform safely.
“The Human Rights Watch recommendations to prohibit youth of any age from handling or coming into contact with tobacco is counter to a lot of farming practices that currently take place in the U.S.,” Caldwell says.
In North Carolina, 15-year-old Eddie Ramirez is hopeful the newfound attention to his summer job will bring changes like safety gear and places to use the restroom.

“The next man I was involved with lived in Boston. He taught me to cook mushrooms. He taught me that if you heat the butter very hot and put just a very few mushrooms into the frying pan, they come out nice and brown and crispy, whereas if the butter is only moderately hot and you crowd the mushrooms, they get all mushy and wet. Every time I make mushrooms I think of him. There was another man in my life when I was younger who taught me to put sour cream into scrambled eggs, and since I never ever put sour cream into scrambled eggs I never really think of him at all.” ~ Nora Ephron, Heartburn

Czar I went back and read yesterday’s thread. Thanks for sharing about your Mom and her family.
When I started researching my writing project, I learned pretty quickly that history is not a simple black and white question of which group is right and which is (which I should have known already but I hadn’t really paid attention to in the past. There is a difference between reading history and researching history.) During my research I had begun to wonder if WWII would have been avoidable if the ending of the Great War had been different. If Germany hadn’t been struggling so much with inflation and other problems following the treaty that ended WWI, maybe Hitler would not have been able to rise to power. But who knows? Historical hindsight is always 20/20.

IMO, the “war reparations” were very vindictive by the Allied countries of Europe that had been competitors and enemies of Germany for hundreds of years anyway. They were impossible to actually pay, expecially when the German nation was not only broke from the war, but without many available men to work jobs of any kind. The USA has always tried to help put the civilian infrastructures back in place after a devastation from a war, when possible, in recognition that impoverished hopeless people will have kids that will grow up resentful and indoctrinated against those that defeated them. Not out of generosity as many think, but as a practical manner…..This is impossible in the Middle East, unfortunately, as the tribal nature of groups is not like a homogenous population of a nation/state. They also are managed by a religion, not by a free society committed to JudeoChristian principles of compassion and empathy for others not like themselves.
Too harsh penalties and controls following “winning a war” is what happened to the Southern population during the Northern imposed “reconstructions”, which was punative only and designed to shame and humiliate a proud group of people. Sec of War Stanton was behind using the military to govern them, and they sent predominantly black Northern educated black administrators to the South to “run and govern” everything…..essentially rubbing salt into wounds and by people totally unclear on the mores and values of the landowners who were totally disenfranchised from freedom or individual liberty.
Many Southerners today carry those resentments against Northern liberals and that is not improved with the militant black liberal behaviors.

Those punishing reparations actually worked in Hitler’s favor as the doddering post WW I German governments never really knew how to deal with them to Germany’s favor. Once Hitler got in and took the reins he managed to use them to mobilize the state and the people using their hatred of those reparations and the damages they caused. The German state not only paid the reparations but went far beyond that, rebuilding Germany to a state that surpassed the postwar reconstruction of many allied countries.
Germany was still a new country, it had been formed out of a group of separate states that were ruled by non-democratically appointed heads and in their ‘German’ form ruled by a duke who went from being the prime minister of Prussia to ruler of the united German Empire. The allies trying to impose a foreign democracy just made the postwar mess messier. Hitler, like Mussolini, brought back a comfortable centralized authority and made their countries work…as much as one could make Italy work.

His ascent, if you look at it, was most improbable.

read this fascinating history of Thanksgiving as we know it
Thanksgiving as we know it today — at least on the scale we know it — is largely the creation of Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, one of the first women’s magazines. Mrs. Hale spent 36 years browbeating public officials high and low before finally getting Thanksgiving declared a national holiday in 1863.
But first a little history. What we now think of as the original Thanksgiving took place in the fall of 1621 at the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts, with the Pilgrims and some 90 Wampanoag Indians on hand to chow down, play volleyball, and exchange native diseases. (No joke — an earlier tribe of Indians had been wiped out by European-imported smallpox.) The occasion came to be a semiofficial holiday among New Englanders, one of many such celebrations held throughout the colonies at various times of the year. The idea of holding a national Thanksgiving, however, was slow to catch on. The Continental Congress scheduled the first one for Thursday, December 18, 1777, to celebrate the defeat of General Burgoyne at Saratoga. In 1789 George Washington proclaimed a one-time-only day of thanksgiving for Thursday, November 26, to celebrate the new Constitution. But his successors let the idea drop. Thomas Jefferson, for one, considered proclaiming holidays “a monarchical practice” and paid no attention to Thanksgiving during his term of office.
Enter Mrs. Hale. A native of New Hampshire, she became obsessed with the idea that “Thanksgiving like the Fourth of July should be considered a national festival by all our people.” Her opening salvo was her first novel, Northwood, published in 1827. An entire chapter was devoted to a detailed description of a Thanksgiving dinner complete with stuffed turkey and pumpkin pie. In 1846, nine years after she became the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she launched a crusade to make Thanksgiving an official holiday. Every fall the magazine would editorialize on the subject, meanwhile running high-cholesterol but probably pretty darn tasty recipes for such things as “Indian Pudding with Frumenty sauce” and “ham soaked in cider three weeks, stuffed with sweet potatoes, and baked in maple syrup.” Mrs. Hale also wrote hundreds of letters to influential people urging them to support her cause.
Her efforts continued up through the Civil War. In 1861 she asked both sides to “lay aside our enmities on this one day and join in a Thanksgiving Day of Peace.” The appeal failed, but eventually, some believe, she was able to pitch President Lincoln in person. Whatever the case, Abe finally issued a National Thanksgiving Proclamation on October 3, 1863, setting aside the last Thursday of November as the official day.
Thanksgiving continued to be proclaimed annually by the president this way until 1939, when Franklin Roosevelt blithely declared that Thanksgiving that year was going to take place on the third Thursday of November. Crass commercialism was the chief consideration — FDR hoped to woo retailers, who complained that they needed more time to “make proper provision for the Christmas rush” and incidentally cram in a few more shopping days. FDR’s move outraged Republicans and quite a few football coaches throughout the country, who claimed that not only was FDR trampling on sacred national traditions, he was screwing up the bowl game schedule. For two years, people celebrated Thanksgiving on one of two different days, depending on their political inclinations. In 1941, however, Congress got into the act by officially declaring that Thanksgiving would thenceforward fall on the fourth Thursday of November.

I’m presuming that the indian pudding recipe is updated as even in Ye Olde Pilgrim Dayes the A&Ps were closed on Thanksgiving so they didn’t have access to ice cream. Frumenty recipe’s interesting…guess if the stuff just doesn’t turn out the goats will eat it.

Texas School Destroys ADHD With This OLD SCHOOL Remedy
While most school districts across the country are cutting back on recess time and ramping up the Ritalin, one Texas school has kindergartners and first graders sitting still and “incredibly attentive.”
What’s their secret? Their recess time has tripled.
Instead of 20 minutes of recess per day, Eagle Mountain Elementary kindergartners and first graders now get an hour, broken up into four 15-minute breaks, in addition to lunchtime.
Their teachers say it’s totally transformed them.
The kids are less fidgety, less distracted, more engaged in learning and make more eye contact.
Eagle Mountain is one of dozens of schools in Texas, Oklahoma and California testing out extra recess time as part of a three-year trial. The pilot program is modeled after the Finnish school system, whose students get some of the best scores in the world in reading, math and science.

True dat, increase recess for all kids as they are naturally energy-charged at that age. Then again, there are real physical conditions relating to ADHD: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/health/adhd-brain-scans-study/index.html
also: https://www.kennedykrieger.org/overview/news/study-shows-boys-adhd-have-smaller-volume-frontal-lobes-brain
We have to find better ways of dealing with ADHD kids in the school systems, this ‘drug ’em till they drop’ stuff is counterproductive in a number of ways. The Feds have to start making the schools treat ADHD as a physical versus psychological condition as so many of these kids end up dropping out and thinking that some form of drug is the answer to their problems. Maybe if we peel back some of the social engineering teaching and go back to teaching-teaching.

My mother taught kindergarten for over 40 years & frequently explained that children need time off every couple of hours, especially to run around. She had some “hyperactive” ones who had to be excused to go run around the playground fence every 30 minutes so they could regain concentration. Every child who went through her schools read at at least the second grade level upon graduating kindergarten.

The 727 was designed for smaller airports, so independence from ground facilities was an important requirement.
This led to one of the 727’s most distinctive features: the built-in airstair that opens from the rear underbelly of the fuselage, which initially could be opened in flight.[13] Hijacker D. B. Cooper parachuted from the back of a 727 as it was flying over the Pacific Northwest. Boeing subsequently modified the design with the Cooper vane so that the airstair could not be lowered in flight.
Another innovation was the auxiliary power unit (APU), which allowed electrical and air-conditioning systems to run independently of a ground-based power supply, and without having to start one of the main engines. An unusual design feature is that the APU is mounted in a hole in the keel beam web, in the main landing gear bay.
The 727 is equipped with a retractable tail skid that is designed to protect the aircraft in the event of an over-rotation on takeoff. The 727’s fuselage has an outer diameter of 148 inches (3.8 m). This allows six-abreast seating (three per side) and a single aisle when 18-inch (46 cm) wide coach-class seats are installed.
An unusual feature of the fuselage is the 10-inch (25 cm) difference between the lower lobe forward and aft of the wing as the higher fuselage height of the center section was simply retained towards the rear.

If anything can transport you instantly back to a specific time, it’s encountering a certain scent, especially unexpectedly.
Today I was at Big Lots (what a fun store!) and I saw a jar of Noxzema–the original in the cobalt blue jar. I opened it and took a good whiff. I was immediately back in 1958, age 10, sitting on the sofa, slathering the very smelly, mysteriously cooling cream on my brand new sunburn. Noxzema was the go-to remedy during my tanning/burning years.

Hence the term ‘the can’. Back in the 80s two of us were sent on a Reforger exercise to Germany. We were supposed to meet a unit at Charleston AFB and we’d all board a C-141 for a non-stop to Frankfort.
Long story short – they for some reason bobbled the plane setup and the 141 set down at Charleston without a ‘comfort pallet’ that provided amenities such as a toilet. Luckily the other guy I was going with was a full colonel and I educated him on how the AF operates. A call to the command center where he said that if a comfort pallet wasn’t on that plane within an hour he wanted to be patched thru to the base commander’s home phone made sure that one was there for the long flight out.

Second only to the time we had a Reforger flight we had to catch out of an ANG/AFRes site (can’t remember which) in Memphis. There were two companies there we were supposed to fly with and we all were supposed to eat a hearty catered lunch provided by the site before boarding and leaving. Time dragged on and no lunch…finally about an hour and a half an hour late the catering service pulls up and frantically starts setting up the buffet for 150. About the same time the C-141 lands and we’re told to get on, no lollygagging. We boarded and taxied by the buffet, all ready to feed us, staff with surprised looks on their faces. It was a long, hungry flight.

Seems the folks at Louisiana State University, best known as a premier boozing party school and having a sometimes winning football team, has decided to do away with a street on its campus named after Confederate Admiral Semmes. No official word on if the act were done to placate the PC crowd but Semmes was not only an admiral but also, after the war, a professor at LSU – something the LSU spokesperson minimized.
Semmes was the captain of the CSS Alabama: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS_Alabama a ship with a stellar record and whose WW II namesake battleship is an attraction moored in Biloxi. Since a military hero is out due to his service being offensive then why not offer up a replacement such as John Conyers whose exploits are the subject of so many rap songs so widely applauded by that so easily offended segment of the perpetually aggrieved?

Had a musical week-end.
Saturday afternoon was the final practice for the Handel’s Messiah performance; we ran through it twice.
Saturday night went to see a karaoke friend’s band play at a declasse biker bar back in a canyon. I was impressed – one high energy song after another with no filler talking in between. Wife finally got, um, comfortable enough that we did swing dance to my friend’s cover of Jimmy Eat World’s, “The Middle”, and was amazed that he and his co-guitarist totally nailed the lead solo.
Sunday sang in the bass section of the choir for two performances at the 14th Annual Handel’s Messiah Sing-a-Long at the Nixon Library at 10 a.m. and noon.
Sunday night cooked a steak dinner for a friend visiting from England, then got calls from two separate karaoke friends each saying they had friends in town who wanted to hear our karaoke harmonies, so after bidding my UK friend adieu at about 10, I hustled over to the karaoke place to help wow said friends of friends.
Good times; wildly disparate venues in four different cities. 🙂
Dinner required flexibility – my wife had bought three T-bones for the three of us, but then at the last minute, my 22 year old son decided he was going to be there, too. Hmm, how to split 3 steaks 4 ways. My son cooked up a pan full of sauteed mushrooms and onions with rosemary and red wine, then when the steaks were done we cut the main big hunk off each T-bone, sliced it into 3/4 inch strips onto a serving platter, and smothered them with the mushroom onion mix. It looked beautiful, tasted great, and was just enough. Last night I carefully removed the rest of the meat from the bones, boiled the bones for a couple hours, strained the broth, and cooked some egg noodles in it, serving the broth and noodles on top the cold meat and some sauteed veggies in two big Asian soup bowls for my wife and I. Yum!
