What Shall We Make Today

Food 1 Minute

Today we’re making Savory Potato Skins!

Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes (about 12 ounces each)

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Optional: Sour cream and chives

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place on a greased baking sheet; bake until tender, 1-1-1/4 hours. Cool slightly.

Cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells (save pulp for another use).

Cut each half shell lengthwise into quarters; return to baking sheet. Brush insides with butter. Mix seasonings; sprinkle over butter.

Broil 4-5 inches from heat until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. If desired, mix sour cream and chives and serve with potato skins.

ENJOY!

  1. Morning! Didn’t sleep well, of course – I always hate ANY doctors’ appointments and dread it. Tossed and turned and finally decided to just get up and clear out my e-mail so I’m not totally overwhelmed later when I get back. IDK if you’ll be able to read the NYT article – I’m past my “free” article limit so I can’t read it.

    “The NYT gave Congressman Tom Massie (R-Kentucky) 3 pages in last Sunday’s paper
    And they could not find anything bad to say. Which is why he is my favorite Member of Congress. A Jeffersonian.”

    Meryl Nass

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The self-proclaimed “greenest member” of Congress is a Republican from rural Kentucky. He lives in an off-the-grid home he built himself, using timbers cut and rock quarried from his family cattle farm. He pipes in water from a nearby pond, and powers the home with solar panels and a battery from a wrecked Tesla that he salvaged and retrofitted.

    But while he lives on, and even makes part of his living from, the land, very few people would call him an environmentalist. The car he drives back and forth from Washington has a license plate advertising his support for coal. He likes to lean on his experience as a robotics engineer to argue against precipitously switching over to renewable energy, claiming that rapid changes could crash America’s power grids. And he once mocked John Kerry, who has a degree in political science, in a congressional hearing on climate threats: “I think it’s somewhat appropriate that someone with a pseudoscience degree,” he said, “is here pushing pseudoscience.”

    It is a very long article so I won’t post the rest, but you can see the guy is smart, sharp, and he isn’t afraid of anyone. Note: he is simply honest about the fact that the electricity to fill up his Tesla comes primarily from coal in Kentucky; in your neighborhood it might come from nuclear, natural gas, or oil. Most people think the Tesla is “clean” but that electricity has to come from somewhere.

    Support his PRIME Act that would allow local farmers to sell meat locally without a lot of federal rigmarole that has put many out of business. He also is drafting a similar Act for selling fresh milk locally. And he wants to end the Department of Education. He was a speaker 2 weeks ago at the Attack on Food and Agriculture I hosted.”

  5. ACADEMIA, FREE SPEECH, March 19, 2023, Jonathan Turley

    “True Stories … Could Fuel Hesitancy”: Stanford Project Worked to Censor Even True Stories on Social Media”

    EXCERPT: “While lost in the explosive news about Donald Trump’s expected arrest, journalist Matt Taibbi released new details on previously undisclosed censorship efforts on social media. The latest Twitter Files revealed a breathtaking effort from Stanford’s Virality Project to censor even true stories. After all, the project insisted “true stories … could fuel hesitancy” over taking the vaccine or other measures. The effort included suppressing stories that we now know are legitimate such as natural immunity defenses, the exaggerated value of masks, and questions over vaccine efficacy in preventing second illnesses. The work of the Virality Project to censor even true stories should result in the severance of any connection with Stanford University.

    We have learned of an ever-expanding coalition of groups working with the government and social media to target and censor Americans, including government-funded organizations. However, the new files are chilling in the details allegedly showing how the Virality Project labeled even true stories as “anti-vaccine” and, therefore, subject to censorship. These files would suggest that the Project eagerly worked to limit free speech and suppress alternative scientific viewpoints.

    Taibbi describes the Virality Project as “a sweeping, cross-platform effort to monitor billions of social media posts by Stanford University, federal agencies, and a slew of (often state-funded) NGOs.”

  10. EXCERPT: “Remember the Cornyn-Murphy Compromise that Gun Owners of America and our members warned Congress about? We were loud and clear about how this legislation did nothing to end mass public murders and only infringed on gun owners’ rights. We attempted to warn elected officials. Nevertheless, Congress rushed to sign gun rights away, including 15 Republican Senators who enabled the passage of the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.”

    Well, President Biden just announced that he’ll be using his “regulatory authority” to implement Universal Background Checks thanks to that bill. When we told the anti-gunners in Congress how this bill was poison and would just add fuel to the fire for President Biden to go beyond what was written, compromise-hungry swamp monsters didn’t believe us.

    Well, we hate to say, “I told you so,” but that’s exactly what happened. The Biden Administration, by their own admission, is going around Congress to infringe on your rights.

    President Biden wants to use the expanded definition of “engaged in the business” to force you to file a background check for every single time you purchase a firearm. According to the White House, the President is directing the Attorney General to move the U.S. as close to universal background checks as possible without additional legislation by supposedly clarifying the statutory definition of who is “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms, as updated by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

    It seems that Biden would rather harass law-abiding gun owners who sell as few as just one firearm per year than lock up the criminals who are responsible for gun violence. For those who are unfamiliar with this fight, President Obama attempted a similar executive order towards the end of his term in 2016. Obama attempted to expand the definition of gun “dealer” to:

    – Restrict private transfers of firearms under the guise of the so-called loopholes “online and at gun shows.”
    – Prosecute those who sell even as many as one firearm unless they obtain a Federal Firearms License.
    – Punishing this otherwise lawful behavior with “up to five years in prison and fines up to $250,000.”

    While Biden has just announced his executive order, we currently have no specifics on what that will entail. Obama’s executive order gives us a look into the future of what this rulemaking could potentially look like. While the Biden administration may think this move is popular, the support for Universal Background Checks is fake.”

  13. “Quiet Part, Out Loud – Polish Ambassador Warns If Ukraine Not Successful NATO Will Join War Against Russia”

    March 19, 2023 | Sundance | 145 Comments

    EXCERPT: “Stunningly, the Polish Ambassador to France Jan Emeryk Rościszewski said yesterday: “Either Ukraine will defend its independence today, or we will be forced to enter into this conflict,” sending a clear message that NATO will enter the war against Russia if Ukraine loses ground.

    Rościszewski essentially said the quiet part out loud, and that public statement immediately caused the NATO allies to recoil. The EU NATO allies were not recoiling due to the substance of what he said, but rather because he said it publicly. Keep in mind, Jan Emeryk Rościszewski has been Poland’s Ambassador to France for about a year, and before that he was the Chairman of the Board of PKO Bank Polski, Poland’s largest bank (WEF linkage).

    The exact quote: “either Ukraine will defend its independence today, or we will have to enter this conflict. Because our main values, which were the basis of our civilization, and our culture will be threatened. Therefore, we will have no choice but to enter the conflict.”

    The immediately triggered retreat by the EU IS HERE. However, this statement happened on the same day Politico reported: “NATO is racing to arm its Russian borders. Can it find the weapons?”

    1. Good Morning!☀️
      How did Poland become such a tool of the cabal in such short order?!
      It wasn’t so long ago that their dominant value (that enabled them to stand up to the Soviets) was that of a Christian country. They even fielded a “Polish Pope.”
      Now, they’ve surrendered their fate to the stooges at NATO; a sad state of affairs.

    1. “The Pre-Trial Chamber of the UN-backed International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Friday, in connection with alleged war crimes concerning the deportation and “illegal transfer” of children from occupied Ukraine, the head of the ICC said.”

      “The contents of the warrants are secret to protect the victims,” said ICC President Piotr Hofmański. “Nevertheless, the judges decided to make the existence of the warrants public, in the interest of justice and to prevent future crimes.”

      The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber II also issued a warrant for the arrest of Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. The orders state that each are “allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation” of children from occupied territories in Ukraine to Russia, the UN-backed court said in announcing the warrants.”

  23. killer bees are back!
    entire article
    Two dogs in McAllen, Texas died last week after getting attacked by the Africanized Bee, also known as killer bees, according to reports.

    NBC station KVEO in Brownsville, Texas reported that the dogs died at a McAllen home after getting attacked by bees.
    A million aggressive bees were found in a home that is threatening an El Paso neighborhood.

    The city received a call about a bee attack on N. 7th Court on Thursday morning, which code enforcement responded to after obtaining a warrant to enter the vacated home where the hive was located.

    Devon Johnson of R9 Hive & Honey told the news station the bees were Africanized honey bees, which are oftentimes misclassified as aggressive, though like regular honey bees, they only get aggressive when threatened.

    She also said the bees have a three-day memory span, so if they get triggered by a lawn mower, they could get aggressive toward something else later.

    Johnson told KVEO the attack was odd because these types of bees do not normally go out of their way to attack, and the dogs that took the stings were in a fence patio on the other side of a duplex.

    The homeowner reportedly refused to allow the bee specialist and code enforcement staff to enter the home, so a warrant was obtained.

    Once inside, an active hive was discovered that appeared to be covered up with fresh foam.

    The Africanized honey bee is also known as the killer bee, which is a cross-breed between the European honey bee and the African honey bee.

    The so-called killer bee is the result of experiments in Brazil decades ago, and the insects migrated to the U.S.

    Although weather is a factor, a normal bee season runs from mid-March through October.

    They are also on guard constantly for possible threats to their hive, and even find the color of a shirt or scent of cologne as threatening.

    Health officials also advise people who disrupt a beehive to cover their heads, run away and take shelter and not to flail their arms.

  32. so the voter fraud using voter rolls (ERIC) is being exposed for allowing not only voter fraud, but FINANCIAL fraud as well. the voter fraud revealed vacant lots, hotels, banks, etc being used for “voter” addresses–not possible. BUT it also helped reveal those addresses were used to scam cv $$ and campaign donation scams.
    FTA
    There’s more.

    Three county sheriff’s departments contacted our team because they were interested in this kind of voter fraud — registered voters in vacant lots. They each, separately, performed other analyses and found that vacant lots had accumulated fraud.

    Many of those addresses harbored clearly fake voters — or real voters who were not there. When they ran those addresses against the PPP (Payroll Protection Program), where Biden gave out free dough — guess what! You got it! Those address might not be able to get mail, but somehow, they got the dough!

    An intrepid team in Florida, working with law enforcement, found some of those scammy addresses harbored “contribution mules.” The contribution mule is the guy who has no discernible wealth but makes 4,000 donations a year, to candidates all over the country, in $50 increments. So where does that guy get his dough?

    ERIC protected voter rolls from scrutiny for years. The Gateway Pundit guys busted the gig with their reporting. The Fractal team started showing voter teams how inaccurate ERIC really is.

    Now the game is up. ERIC is bleeding clients. It’s just a matter of time until they are running lefty states with zero credibility.

    So next time you get depressed because the good guys never seem to win, check in on ERIC and smile as you see it bleed into obscurity.

    The surprise witness today in Mahattan court is on POTUS side
    according to article in daily mail..

    Earlier, Trump predicted that the testimony from his former lawyer
    Michael Cohen, who has turned against him, would be shredded
    by a witness his lawyers had convinced to speak to the grand jury.

    Trump did not name the person who would be attacking Cohen,
    but The New York Times reported it was Robert Costello, who once
    gave Cohen legal advice but then turned against him. Costello has
    been asked to testify by Trump’s lawyers, the paper reported.
    Trump said Costello would be ‘the most important witness’
    before the grand jury.

    Under New York law, a person who is expected to be indicted
    can request that a witness appear on his or her behalf.
    Trump’s lawyers have asked that Costello testify.

    teacher’s union in LA in going to strike next week to implement green deal crap–but hidden in their agenda? a 20% PAY RAISE from their ALREADY $115,000 A YEAR PAY!
    FTA
    The United Teachers of Los Angeles is planning to strike for three days next week in an effort to transform city schools into a “green” social services hub. The Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has identified the teachers’ plan as part of its “Green New Deal for L.A. Public Schools” and said it is the group’s priority agenda item for the year. But buried beneath the teachers’ sundry progressive demands is a 20 percent salary hike over two years for Los Angeles teachers, whose average salaries and benefits run about $115,000.

    The socialist-backed strike is the latest example of teachers’ unions harnessing allegedly high-minded progressive causes to wrest professional wins. As students languished under union-backed school closures during the pandemic, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten pushed to ditch standardized testing in the name of equity. Last summer, the president of the National Education Association said the union would lobby on transgender issues, abortion, and gun control alongside its fight against charter schools. The California teachers’ union is lobbying on gun control, flavored tobacco bans, and LGBT issues to shore up support from other powerful political groups.
