Can you feel the outrage? His Democrats are being unfair! How dare they? And they keep minorities out! (Incidentally, they had already quit the race so they had no chance to be in the debate anyway, but don’t let the facts get in the way.)

Now, I looked for Fat Boy’s video where he is equally or even mildly outraged about ho the House Democrats change the rules for the Impeachment investigation of Donald Trump and found bupkis.  Why?

Cry me a river, Michael.

So how do the Danish do actual classic? Damned good too.

Against Miguel’s suggestion, I watched the new Fox show Deputy on Hulu.

What they did at the beginning of one episode was so bad and dangerous I couldn’t let it go.

One young black male deputy is playing basketball with his buddy on a public court when two LAPD officers show up.  The buddy is a suspect in the murder of a drug dealer.

The buddy takes off on foot.  One LAPD officer chases him, the other stays with the deputy.

The deputy says “I’m a sheriff’s deputy, let me show you my badge” and then goes towards his gym bag.  The LAPD officer draws his gun and makes the deputy go down with his hands on his head.

The whole thing is played off as racism and the young black deputy later launches into a speech about standing up to racism and blah, blah, blah.

What utter horseshit.

Let’s take a look at this from the cop’s point of view.

They are there to execute a warrant against a suspected murderer with a record of drug dealing, and the suspect takes off on foot.

The guy he’s playing ball with then wants to go rummaging around in his gym bag.

Sure he says he a sheriff’s deputy, but that might just be a cock and bull story, and the entire time, he’s advancing towards his gym bag.

Making the guy go face down with his hands on his head until the contents of the bag are secured and his identity is verified isn’t just not racist, it’s proper police procedure.

What would have happened if the deputy unzipped his bag and the first thing the cop saw was his gun?

I’m not sure why the deputy didn’t get that.

His response should have been:  “I’m a sheriff’s deputy.  My badge and service weapon are in my gym bag.  You can go in it and see for yourself.”

This is the kind of bullshit that happens when you are desperate to shoehorn “the police are racist” into your story whenever possible.

I’m not a cop, but this is sort of thing that you are forced to think about when you conceal carry.  What do you do if you are forced to interact with police when armed.

The procedure I was taught was to say:

“Officer, I have a concealed carry permit.  My firearm is [location, e.g., on my hip, ankle, in my glove], My ID and permit are [location, e.g., in my wallet in my right hip pocket].  How would you like me to proceed?”

Always start with the announcement of the permit, to let them know you are law-abiding.  Then make it clear they are the ones in charge of the situation.

I actually had a cop who taught one my CCW courses say “police are like wild animals, they will get aggressive if they are startled.”

I’ve only had to do this once.  I was pulled over, it was for expired tags if I remember correctly.  But my gun was IWB strong side and my wallet was in my right hip pocket.

The cop had me get out of the truck with my hands on my head, he took my gun and held onto it while I got out my wallet and showed him my ID and permit.  When it was all over, he handed me back my unloaded gun and it was done.

I didn’t feel like this was an assault on my honor and I lived, which is the important thing.

Rightly or wrongly, a cop will never put your dignity over the chance that he will get shot.

It’s getting ridiculous how these shows are pushing the narrative that any minor affront to the black character’s dignity is far worse than the black character doing something that the cop could interpret as a threat.

I will admit this is the first time I do it from “scratch.”  Dry beans (Red, Black & Pinto, half pack of each*) soaking overnight and then cooked over sauteed onions & peppers. Added about a glass of water, half a glass of white wine, salt and granulated garlic to taste. I also added a piece of smoked pork for flavoring. Pressure cooker on high till the bell starts rocking and then bring it to #6 for 10 minutes. Take out of the stove, cool off in the sink and check for tenderness and flavor. More than likely they will need more time to cook.

Before you close the cooker down again, add parsley, basil and culantro (not cilantro although it is not bad) again as much as you want (1/3 of a cup each if you worry), lock the cooker and repeat the above cooking procedure only 5 minutes this time.

The meats were about 2 pounds of pork and beef. Mix with salt, garlic and whatever other combination of spices you want.  On a covered pot, small to medium heat, add about 3 spoons of oil,  let it brown slowly and separate clumps as needed. Keep stirring and tasting till is barely cooked.

Next for the extra seasoning, I use  Carrol Shelby’s Chili Kit. Before anything else, drain the beef and once “dry”, drop it back in the pot, adding one jar of tomato sauce (The imported Italian stuff is good!), stir good.

Next: You have three bags: one spices, one chili powder and one masa flour. I throw away the masa as my chili does not need to be thickened with cheating means. I add the big bag of spices  to the meat & sauce and stir gently till everything is nice and mixed.  I would recommend to add the chili powder at a later date. leave the meat simmering and go check the beans before you burn them.

If the beans are ready (A little firm but collapsing at the presence of pressure, in Italian, Al Dente), go ahead and add the beef to the beans. Mix thoroughly and check seasoning. At this time and before you do anything else, you should make the decision of adding the Chili powder. I do half the bag and then add two spoonfuls of good black pepper. We like the combination as we are not psychopaths that need to burn the digestive system (says the wife). You add what you want as much as you want.

Cover again and simmer for 10-15 and turn off the eye. It should finish cooking with its internal temperature and you don’t need burned beans in the bottom of the pot.

And enjoy!

(*half a pack each because the suckers expand while soaking and you’d need one of them canning pressure cookers to do the chili)

PS: If you were to burn the beans to the bottom of the pot, remove the good ones, scrape the bad ones and fill about 1/4 of the pot with water and add a good squirt of CLR. Leave it soaking for 6-8 hours. It will come off like panties at an orgy. Wash the pot very damn well, you don’t want to get a taste of that thing in a future meal.

It seems I have not been paying attention to the Honey-Do list and it has grown to the point of “You better fix this **** now!” list.

I have been given 10 minutes, so I came over here to say hi and drop this:

If you need more proof of why Great Britain was right to leave the EU, just watch these two EU bureaucrats take down the British Flag.

With all the respect of handling a fucking bed sheet.

Back in October, I covered how the CNN LGBT town hall catered heavily to transgender activism.  Elizabeth Warren, in particular, with her fawning praise of a trans child who asked her a question.

There is apparently a sequel to this story.

Warren stated that she will have her security of eduction vetted by a trans child.

Warren says that she will have a "young trans person" interview her future Secretary of Education and only hire this future secretary if the young trans person approves.

I have a child in school.  I worry about things like an over-reliance on standardized testing and teaching to the test, a lack of PE and playtime for younger kids, the lack of shop and other hands-on programs, the abomination that is Common Core math.

None of these things matter to Warren when a 9-year-old child with gender confusion issues as an opinion on locker room use.

Honestly, I don’t know which is a more frightening prospect, that Elizabeth Warren really believes this or that she thinks that this sort of extreme niche pandering is something Democrat primary voters need to hear to support her?

Either way, this is a party of extreme unseriousness.
