The greatest injustices are done under color of Law.

M
Great quote here on why this trial matters so much…and reveals so much about where we are at now as a nation:

“The conviction of the former president in a Manhattan courtroom was preordained. With the inexorable verdict, the ideals of a fair trial and an impartial jury faded into a figment of our Founders’ imaginations. They knew that the worst oppression is done by the color of law. They feared it and tried to prevent it. So, they, too, have lost.”

The Founders greatest fear was not that criminals would break the law, but rather that the law would become the facile tool of criminals and tyrants.

It took 236 years, but that fear has now come to fruition. A sad day and I’m not sure this is a Rubicon we can ever uncross.

Another Yuge Dem lie bites the dust...even Snopes now refutes it.

M
When far Left Wing "fact checker" Snopes flips on you, you know you've been telling a whopper:


Critics of Trump have claimed for years that he equated neo-Nazis with counterprotesters following the event. President Biden was chief among those critics, citing the supposed incident as a main reason for launching his 2020 campaign.

"While Trump did say that there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’ he also specifically noted that he was not talking about neo-Nazis and White supremacists and said they should be 'condemned totally.' Therefore, we have rated this claim 'False,'" Snopes wrote.

The Snopes fact check now aligns with years of arguments from Trump's camp, who long stated, backed by transcript and video, that his comments were taken out of context. The fact-checker notes that the false claim about Trump's comments "spread like wildfire" on the left, eventually being cited as a cornerstone of Biden's election campaign.

ISU @ Olympic Trials

F
I know there are a few of us that closely follow our Track and Field teams. Cyclones.com has an article that 7 of our athletes are at the Olympic trials. That's remarkable. If a college can get one or two in that's good. (OK, I'm going to brag a little here. Two of my kids went to the trials in '04 and '08 and I know how difficult it is to make it there. One generally must be in the top 20 in their event(s) in all of the US. Most of those that go onto the Olympics are pros and not collegiate.

SCOTUS and the Bump Stock ruling.

C
The SCOTUS ruled that bump stock restrictions are not legal. They actually overturned a bump stock act that was put in place by Trump. Bump stocks can make if easier for a rifle to fire faster, still requiring each shot to have a finger pull, so not a machine gun. Personally, this is one of those laws that are put in place to make people feel better, while actually not doing a darn thing. Bump stocks can be made at home. You can print them with a 3D printer, you could probably make one from wood or metal at home, or easily make a bump stock using the belt on your pants. Are we going to outlaw all of these things as well? So the original restriction was meaningless.

But what is more important from the ruling, is that it rules that government agencies can not create law, or expand the intent of a law, it must come from congress, thus this was actually a huge attack on the deep state. And the 2nd most important thing taken from the ruling is that the DEMS blew it, Sotomeyer in the dissenting opinion, screwed up big time, she admitted that the so called "Assault Rifles" are common use weapons. She just destroyed her own parties desire to ban assault rifles, she just admitted they are common use, so all arguments for banning them are now worthless. Her words.

Trying out old recipe again

A
I made a pan of chipotle tamale pie yesterday and it's exceptional. I was first introduced to this dish at a company potluck when one of the single guys brought it. I thought it was so good, yet really spicy because he makes it a lot spicier than I do, that I asked him for the recipe. I thought I'd share the recipe with you folks. Careful, it's spicy, but you can make it less so by eliminating the jalapeños, but it will still have a kick to it because of the chipotles. The guy from work also added cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to his (I forget which), but that made it too spicy for me.

Chipotle Tamale Pie

1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound hamburger
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 small can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Cut peppers into smaller pieces
1 small can jalapeños or you can use fresh jalapeños, but I'm lazy
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cornbread mix

Sauté onion in frying pan, add hamburger to brown, add other ingredients, withholding the cheese. Also add a couple of tbsp of the adobo sauce to the skillet. Cook thoroughly. Transfer contents of skillet into a square cornbread pan. (I'm not exactly sure how big that pan is, but it looks like a small cake pan only it's square, not rectangular.) Add the cheese and mix it in. Make the cornbread mix according to directions on package and pour over the top of the mixture. Bake in oven according to the directions on the cornbread package (about 20 minutes at 425 degrees)
