The Cadre of Pedophiles

We have 4 (F) outside.  No wind chill, but that's still a bitterly cold temp.  Our afternoon temps are expected to clime in to the mid-20s with on and off again sunshine.  We've just begun a warm-up.  By Monday our afternoon high will get us just above freezing.  Forecasts are for temps to get a little warmer, but we are, after all, in the dead of winter, and our highs will once again be in the upper teens by the end of this coming week.

Yesterday turned out to be fairly good.  I did get in a decent workout, burning off over 220 calories.  That's a good thing.  

An new bread machine was ordered from Wayfair.  I don't use Amazon anymore.  Not surprisingly, it's a Cuisinart, the same model I used for years, though updated.  Because I'm letting Wayfair send me texts, I got 10% off.  After a bit of time passes, though not much, or if the texts are too frequent I will block them.

I also signed up for a new deal on Mubi.  $1 for thee months.  This streamer is not for everyone.  They focus on Art House films, and those indelible classics that we've all heard about, but have never had a chance to watch.  I saw Plainclothes on Mubi, as well as The History of Sound.  

More Epstein files dropped yesterday.  Within 20 minutes after they had been made public, the DOJ began deleting some of them.  Over a million pages were dropped.  Luckily for the world the minute the drop happened resourceful people began downloading.  One of the things most surprising was not the sexually graphic content, people expected that from our pedophile in the White House.  Nope.  What stunned a lot of people was that the names of the victims were not redacted.  In one instance they included a victim's driver's license.  I did grab a sample for those interested.

Some are thinking this drop may have been done by a leaker who had enough of Orangie's shit show.  Last evening I saw something that might be more than a little relevant.  Whispers in the FBI are saying the drop was either done by Israel, or someone loyal to Israel, in order to compromise Orangie.  We all know he's not very popular, so perhaps this is true.  Of course, that would mean they'd rather deal with Vance, and he's in way over his head with the simple job he now has.

Another thing that surprised people is that Elonia Musk is mentioned quite frequently.  He definitely wanted to be one of the "in crowd."  There are many, many emails between Elonia and Epstein.  It seems that the Ketamine Kid has a penchant for raunchy sex with girls.

And Nutlick Lutnick gets his share of mentions, as does Alan Dershowitz, and Stevie Bannon.  In fact, Bannon seems to have been in constant communication with Epstein.  And while Clinton does get an honorable mention, this whole cadre of pedophiles is overwhelmingly Republican.

  

Not Christmas Eve... yet

When I got up this morning, the temp was a balmy 47 (F) outside.  That, unfortunately is going to be our daily high.  The thermometer has already dropped by 5 degrees.  We are supposed to warm up on Christmas day, but then temps are going to drop.  Friday is predicted to be a sleeting, freezing mess, at least for the afternoon.  That is just what the retail industry needs, bad whether to keep shoppers away.  Those people getting gift cards are going to want to spend them as soon as possible.  

As I'm typing this, I'm listening to my bread machine die.  Sadly, the paddle stopped turning just seconds before the 2nd knead was finished.  After this loaf is baked, the machine will go into the trash and I'll have to think about buying another one.  Though not right away.  As I said, they've cut my hours back to twelve.  That money will cover my living expenses, my movies, the occasional pricy bottle of wine, and nothing else.  

This also means I'm going to put a pause on my personal trainer for a month or two.  While I like the routine, and my trainer is really nice, I would rather sacrifice that for a few weeks than cancel my subscription to Mubi, Dekko, France Channel, and In Film... and skip that occasional pricy bottle of wine.  I'm making a list of all the exercises he has me do and on which days, so I'll still be doing the workouts, I just won't be reporting them to him.

And today is the day before Christmas.  For those who don't know, this is pre-Christmas Eve.  Eve stands for evening, not morning or afternoon.  This is just a short public service announcement from me to you.

And Orangie was up all night hate posting on Truth Social.  He hosted the Kennedy Center Honors last evening  I did a check on the overnight ratings to see how well or poorly the show did.  First thing I saw was that the ratings were the best they've been in years; the top show on TV last night.  Remember, however, The Kennedy Center Honors aired on CBS and CBS is in Orangie's pocket, and we all know how bad he is with numbers.  Other assessments are coming in and it doesn't appear that the show was everything CBS was hoping for.  Initial reports are that viewer ship was down 9% from last year.  The real barometer, I suspect, for last night's ratings is Orangie's hate postings.  He was pure hate and venom.  He shit posts a lot, but when he gets bad news he hate posts, and he was angrily hate posting last night.  There was one about wishing Colbert would die.  Yikes!  I'm betting Orangie's getting a lot of coal in his stocking this Christmas.

Tools

 Yesterday was very physical.  I lifted.  I carried.  I pushed and pulled.  Oh, and yeah, sometimes I was a little high... up in the air.  Yesterday I unpacked a pallet of freight... by myself.  Well, I will admit to using a tool.  We call it a Ballymore.  Think of it as a small freight elevator on wheels.  This piece of equipment is used to put heavy product in the overhead, since using a ladder can be dangerous.  This is a good tool.

Right now I have a loaf of French bread preparing to bake in my new bread machine.  I was a little off in gauging the time.  i was an hour off, so instead of my popping it out of the pan at around 0730, I'll be doing that around 0830.  Since I don't leave for work until 1000, there's still time for a slice... or two.  Looking in through the little window in the top, I can tell you the loaf looks great.

And then, of course, there are the Tools who do everything they can to try and bury they nation.  The Covidiots, who believe their fallen leader with his big lie.  He is leading his supporters to their death.  This is how it was supposed to be.  Honestly, how many tools are in this group.   Of course, anytime you see the name of Marjorie Taylor Greene involved, you know it's about white supremacy.  Here the call in Anglo-Saxon political tradition.  Evidently that stupid woman is attempting to redefine just who the Anglo-Saxons were.  They were white, but their political traditions were anything but Democratic, and I can't help but wonder if this is her way of telling the world she wants the United States to feudal, with thousands of city / states?  She is an extraordinarily broken tool.
