And you thought I forgot, right? Never!  Not in a million years would I do that!   I’m going to be embedded with the Marines in Kyrzakistan, so whatever you’re going to do, have some fun with it.  You remember Kyrzakistan, don’t you? Lovely place. I think it was referenced by someone who occupied the seat of Secretary of State a while back.

Anyway, this is the week(end) of the first good movies of 2017!

We’ve got the Lego Batman movie out today which I expect to be quite entertaining, but you know what audience it’s going to be aimed at.

And for those of us with more refined tastes (refined the way the powder in your bullets is) there’s John Wick: Chapter 2 also out today. Should be a good one!

Uniformed services retirement pay will be exempt from state income tax beginning in July.

A Reserve Component first shirt special forces type, Representative Trevor Drown, introduced a Stolen Valor bill that I’ve been working on for three years with input from Jonn and others in the know. It sailed through the House Committee and we don’t foresee any problem with getting it passed in the full House and Senate.

Florida cannot make an announcement like that. There is no State Income Tax here in the Bikini State. Here in my area of the Northwest Florida Panhandle, there are 4 Commissary stores within 100 miles of most of us, and a very dense, active/retired/former military population. The local businesses know this and show it in a positive treatment of us. Having lived in several areas across the country, I feel that this is the best address for those who appreciate the military and who want to feel appreciated.

Frankie Cee, you also have an Air Force Hospital and a Navy Hospital within that same area, not to mention several branch clinics.

WV, that crazy state that elects Dems on the state level and Repubs on the federal, has a new Dem governor. As hard as this is to believe, he campaigned on no new taxes. He took office in January and this week unveiled his budget and a bunch of new taxes, as well as increases to existing ones, such as the gas tax and sales tax. That didn’t take long–about a month.

The phonies need a new rule for their how-to manual. The rule is live only one fantasy at a time.

When I was on jury duty one of my fellows was dressed in old ACU trousers, tan boots, Army sweat shirt, and wool cap. He also said he was surprised to have jury duty because he was new to town and wasn’t sure he could find the place. He said he held a security clearance I’ve never heard of; so I thought if one holds such a clearance should one admit to having it without being asked? He said he was recently discharged after serving 8 years in Army Intelligence. He said he made Corporal before he was commissioned in Army Intelligence. He said he was currently out of work, but, he had worked at IHOP and he had applied at places such as Denny’s and IHOP.

He did not ask me for money so I couldn’t ask the Sheriff’s Deputies to arrest him for felonious stupidity.

So much BS, so little time.

This guy went on and on to the point I couldn’t help but laugh. They should remember, tell one story and stick to it.

Made corporal before he was commissioned? Was his name Lars?

Not Fake News:

“The former senior military aide to then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter will retire as a brigadier general, the Army announced Thursday.”

“The move against Maj. Gen. Ronald Lewis was directed by former Army Secretary Eric Fanning, Army spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said in a statement.”

“The Defense Department inspector general substantiated allegations that Lewis misused his government and travel charge card for personal expenses, made false official statements about that misuse, and engaged in conduct unbecoming an officer on multiple occasions, Smith said in the statement.”

“Lewis also has been reprimanded by Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Dan Allyn, she said.”

“According to the IG investigation, which was released in October, Lewis used his government credit card at strip clubs or gentlemen’s clubs in Rome and Seoul, South Korea, drank in excess and had “improper interactions” with women during business travel with Carter. The 50-page report shows Lewis spent more than $1,000 on champagne and drinks and includes conflicting statements that Lewis made to investigators explaining the outings, and on several occasions quotes his acknowledgement that he was drunk or drank to “more than moderation,” the Associated Press reported….”

Saw a very articulate post in WaPo in which a fella (a doctor at Duke) says that the Obama ban on gun ownership by SS recipients who have a fiduciary to handle their money is unwarranted. Nothing bad has come from that crowd, there has been no tendency to violence or crime, they are being deprived of their rights – all facts that the lefties ignore as they howl about why the ban is golden and absolutely must stay in place!

Now listen to their arguments on why the travel ban should be lifted: Nothing bad has come from that crowd, there has been no tendency to violence or crime, they are being deprived of their rights, so the travel ban must go away immediately with no (90 day) delay. I doubt I am the only one seeing the cognitive dissonance. What do we call it, Larsspeak?

Figured our precious little lefties might be impressed by my pretentious dropping of the old international cuisine lingo. Sometimes you can suck them into thinking you are one of them by going on a bit about that sort of thing. After they express some fellow traveler good vibes at you, then you drop the hammer. Always entertaining. Sometimes they even learn something. Like just how hypocritical they are.

OWB

Yep, there’s some heat in it. I prefer the kinda mild kind usually. Gall bladder ain’t what it used to be.

AnotherPat

Please post that recipe when you get the chance.

OWB

OK.

You find the Heat & Eat Kohinoor boxes at the grocery, Big Lots, or whoever sells them in your neighborhood. Make a selection from among the many choices. Take it home, fix some rice, heat the paneer makhani in the microwave. Hope you didn’t forget to buy some naan at Aldi’s, an international food store, or wherever you can get it because you need to throw that into the toaster oven for a few minutes.

Put it all on a platter and enjoy. Might be enough for two, depending.

Now, the sad part about all this. Knew it was good stuff because it was recommended by someone whose food tastes I trust, so I got a nice variety of the different types. Didn’t notice that all of it was kosher, which is fine – the rabbis who declare such things do it for nothing, but they were also halal certified, which is not a free thing and may actually end up supporting terrorism. Since I already owned the stuff, I have been eating it. But, as good as it is, I will be buying no more of it.

So there ya go.

OWB

Here’s a link: http://www.kohinoorfoods.com/

Or you can visit the same site as “.in” if you prefer. They really do make it in India. No preservatives, shelf stable, all wholesome stuff.

Hondo

The “halal” cert likely derives from the kosher cert (the two are virtually the same). It’s almost certainly used a marketing point by the manufacturer vice indicative of any ties to radical Islam. I’m pretty sure the firm that manufactures the Kohinoor line of curries is both Indian- and Hindu-owned.

I’m personally not particularly fond of any of the paneer curries; I don’t much care for paneer cheese. But IMO most of the lentil, bean, and chickpea varieties are quite tasty – particularly if you add some chicken and serve them over rice. In particular, the Peshewar Dal Makhani is excellent that way.

Hondo

Update: the company’s website says the firm was founded by 3 brothers from Amritsar – which is the Sikh Faith’s holy city. So the firm may well be Sikh owned vice Hindu.

http://kohinoorfoods.in/Company/History

OWB

I have no problem with the company. They will do what they need to do to stay in business. It is not a negative reflection upon them from my perspective. Especially if they are Sikh. Have known some terrific Sikhs. Got nothing against Hindus either, though, just have known more Sikhs.

OWB

Don’t remember where I read it some time ago, but the halal certification was said to definitely be something that must be paid for. Don’t remember enough details to speak to it cogently. Something about the particular imams who controlled the process or some such.

Fjardeson

“Doll based on transgender teen to debut at New York Toy Fair”

“A spokesman for the company said the 18-inch doll, which has a “genderless” plastic mold typical of most dolls, is being tested for kids aged 8 years and older and is expected to retail for $89.99.”

They want $89.95 for this doll? Heck, one can go on Ebay, Collection Shows or even Garage Sales and find Vintage Ken/Barbie/Midge/GI Joe cheaper than that.

BTW, when checking out Ebay, was surprised to see the pictures posted for those dolls. Guess they heard that they now have competition with the “new” Genderless Doll.

And being “tested” for kids 8 years or older? Huh?

Thomas Sowell, IIRC.

2/17 Air Cav

This is wild stuff. The decision regarding the travel ban was rendered by a three-judge panel, each nutty as hell. Anyway, get this. The decision was so harebrained that other members of the court said, ‘Huh? They wrote what?’ or words to that effect. It is now underway that the 9th’s full circus review the Triad’s zany decision. In other words, the most reversed court in the land is trying to save its own ass from itself. Too funny…and sick.

OWB

Good news.

2/17 Air Cav

The notion that a court–any court–could substitute its own judgment for that of the chief executive in a matter of national security is patently absurd. Couple that with the finding by this gang of three that the immediate and irreparable harm caused by the executive order’s temporary halt to foreign nationals coming here from certain countries is that foreign students can’t attend classes here and foreign researchers can’t perform research and you have a first-rate example of an activist court that is out of control. It is a ridiculous position. I am sick and tired of these agenda-driven jurists who disregard existing law and create their own. Life terms need to end. Yesterday.

jarhead

Agree 2/17….Life terms are every bit short on need and purpose, and simply condoned as “traditional”. That as well as multiple terms in office both should be looked at by folks with common sense. I can think of more than one senile old fart who sat as one of the Supremes waaaaaayyyy too long.

26Limabeans

Kinda like the lifetime achievement awards. How can you get a lifetime award if you are still alive?

Reminds me of an old joke:

So, have you lived here all your life?
“not yet”

gitarcarver

You do realize that there is case law from the Supreme Court that backs the 9th’s stance on the economic harm, right? So the economic harm of the decision was not out of the blue. The ban was overbroad. That’s all there is to it. The law says that the President cannot ban people based on their nationalities and that is what the ban did. Where the 9th jumped the shark was on several fronts. First, they made it appear that they have the authority to review the evidence for placing a country on the DHS security list and then approving that placement. They do not. The second problem is the issue of the extension of Constitutional rights and privileges to people who have not come to the US or even applied to come here. That means the judges wanted to say that US law applies world wide and that’s not the case. I do agree that if the US has issued a visa and it is suddenly revoked for no reason and you are a legal permanent resident, there should be a hearing if your visa is going to be revoked. That’s a due process claim to everyone in the country. But to extend that protection to other countries is wrong. The bottom line is that the government had to prove that in a trial, they would win on the merits and so the TRO should be removed now. The problem is that with banning of nations being against the law, the administration most likely would not win. The 9th got the decision right on the whole ban, but wrong on many of the underlying arguments. It should also be noted that while the 9th is overturned the most, that’s because it hears more cases and covers more people and states than any other circuit. (40% of the population and 8 states.) However, as a percentage of decisions overturned, they aren’t the worst. Last time I looked that 4th and the 10th had that distinction. Trump has an easy out here.

I read this morning that Tucker Carlson had an interesting interview last eveing with a fellow named Kouross Emaneli. He is a student (an old student, he looks to be) at NYU and he wrote an op-ed piece in which he advocates the eradication of the Republican Club at NYU for inviting a certain speaker to the school. He doesn’t think that free speech includes certain speech with which one disagrees. Quashing certain speech for that reason renders the 1st Amendment superfluous, wholly unnecessary. But that’s the way the Nazi-like lefties roll. They truly are a vile lot. As for Kouross Esmaeli, I have no idea whether he is an American citizen, Iranian, as his name suggests, or something else. He is a PhD candidate at NYU and his profile says that he “is an independent journalist and documentary filmmaker and living in New York. He is currently on the Board of the Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association and a member of the Big Noise Film collective with whom he was covered topics as varied as Iran’s 2008 Parliamentary elections and the case of Louisiana’s Jena 6. Kouross’ work have appeared on MTV, Current TV, Aljazeerah English and Press TV covering Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and the United States. His documentary for MTV on the lives of American soldiers and young Iraqis after the American invasion won the Edward Murrow Prize for best Television documentary in 2005.” Great. Just great.

Very fitting description of today’s moonbats and TARDOs.

Pineywoods NCO

Weekly shout out to some worthless former State Guard member who is too chicken-shit to come out to the Pineywoods and claim his legendary status of being in Desert Storm and instead sits back, eats cheese by the block and lies to women and anyone who thinks he has a Ph.D., while his papers continue to dry more than four years after some non-existent flood in the DFW Metroplex.

Raise your hand if your name is Dennis Chevalier because you are that chicken shit.

We’re still waiting, asshole.
