Interestingly, there are sealed indictments suddenly coming out of Federal District Court in Pennsylvania and now being released that include Huma, Podesta, Giustra and Hillary charged with illegal uranium transfers and child trafficking. Is this for real?

Ah yes, "sealed indictments." Sounds 100% legit.

Did you see the meteor last night? No doubt it was spectacular sign and/or portent of something or other.

I think I see Meade's picture in the salt crystals on top.

Is it fudge or cake like brownie?

I make delicious fudge like brownie using almond flour, few eggs and lots of melted dark chocolate.

Salted brownie. Salty brownie sounds icky.

tcrosse বলেছেন...

The salt comes from human tears, the ones that our alabaster cities gleam undimmed by.

Tim বলেছেন...

Oh for Cake's sake.
Give it a rest.
Stay frosted.

Salt is an underrated flavoring with chocolate and sweet baked goods. Also caramels.

Here’s today’s good news!


A recount just knocked Virginia’s statehouse out of Republicans’ hands — by a single vote

A key House of Delegates race flipped to a Democratic candidate, setting up a 50-50 chamber.

Seems to be a mainstream media press embargo on talking about how Obama kept the pressure off Hezbollah. I'm surprised the article came from politico

There was an all brownie shop in Beverly Hills, I saw it on a chocolate tour. Unfortunately they closed and supposedly kept their Las Vegas location.

Brownie looks delicious!

Hey, another woman to believe;

"We met this woman over a decade ago while studying together in college, she attempted to break us up back then by plotting for over a year before making contradictory claims and accusations. She attempted to discredit both of our voices and use us against one another by trying to portray Kate to be a continuous abuse victim of T.J. (further efforts to hurt the two of us). She was asked to leave our university comedy group because of worrisome and disturbing behavior, which angered her immensely, she then became fixated on our relationship, and began telling people around campus “I’m going to destroy them” & “I’m going to ruin him.”…

Sadly she is now using the current climate to bandwagon and launch these false accusations again."

Who is TJ Miller?

TJ Miller was (until recently) an actor on the HBO comedy "Silicon Valley"

I have a homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe which calls for a sprinkle of salt on them, before they go into the oven. Really makes it.

Howard বলেছেন...

I don't get the extra salt bump to sweets. Salt is already in the recipe, the extra salt just makes the sweets taste less good. Instead, try a sprinkle of MSG, it really makes the chocolate "pop"

Want killer slightly salty sweets? Use bacon grease + butter for shortening. Be sure to slow cook the bacon so none of the solids at the bottom of the grease are burned

For Inga, from her recently favorite conservative writer:

I do not believe Mueller’s investigation is appropriately conceived. As I’ve been arguing since before Mueller was appointed, our American tradition is that there must first be strong reason to believe a specific crime was committed before a prosecutor should be assigned to investigate. Here, Mueller has been commissioned by Trump’s own appointed deputy attorney general to conduct a fishing expedition in the absence of cause to believe Trump committed a criminal offense. In effect, nothing is off limits, so why should transition files be off limits?

That is a good-looking brownie.

Fhere are my thoughts on M.E.G.

I thought I only thought them and decided to respect the joint but now I am wondering for what why when how where?

It ain't like my music.

"And the Shadow never goes,

further than eye's can see from home.

Velvet serpantine whispers, never lie.

Who how what when where and why,

And the Shadow always knows,

flowers much lovelier than prose,

deep even within the desert grow,

a delightful whiff inside the nose,

proves it more than pose.

If buywaya agrees to write it, Vanderleun sells it, and Althouse despises it, it gives it the Althousian Eschaton label such as this comment is not or indeed is not as non-labeling allows all, I will agree to take all, each and very much so the last, iota, of credit this little ditty of mine deserves.

I've never tried a salted brownie. Erotic asphyxiation is something else I've never tried, nor even heard of until just recently. Apparently that's what TJ Miller tried on his partner. She also was unaware of the practice. That seems like the kind of move that calls for a proper briefing and affirmative consent. So now his career is ruined. I hope all the erotic asphyxiation freaks out there learn something from his example.......I have an open mind on salted brownies, but this erotic asphyxiation thing seems to be way too much trouble.

If a Democrat won by a single vote that must be a mutant Democrat. Lyndon Johnson managed to win by 87 votes in 1948. Even Franken managed to "win" by about 400. Ditto for the Governors race in Washington where King County Dims found an extra 400 votes in the trunk of a car,

Salt is an underrated flavoring with chocolate and sweet baked goods. Also caramels.

Good with vinegar, too.

That's how David Carradine died.

"this erotic asphyxiation thing seems to be way too much trouble."

Especially the garter belt and long black silk stockings,

One of my first days in medical school we got a slide series from the coroner. Opened a lot of eyes.

Chef got all this salty chocolate crap started on South Park. He worked with a different form and it's best not to think about his efforts when eating salty chocolate.

It is a salted caramel brownie.

McCabe's excuse doesn't hold up.

Mr. Strzok wrote, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office—that there’s no way he gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40...”

Make sure the salt wasn't provided by Hez b'Allah because that would make it narcotics. Narcotics the Obama Administration allowed the Army of God to distribute. Because he wanted a deal with Iran, which hates the U.S. he had to allow drugs into the U.S.

Makes total sense for Althouse to pre-miss Obama. Totally.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves বলেছেন...

Politico has the story. You know -that bastion of right winger evilness.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves বলেছেন...

It's salty. Obama's deal with Iran was so important to him, he let Hezbollah's billion dollar criminal enterprise go poof like Harvey Weinstein.

“Kati: Why are you excited to see this victory? Man: Because, we came here all the way from different parts of the country as part of our fellowship, and all of us pitched in to vote and canvas together, and we got our boy elected!”

Merrill said he is trying to find out who the man is, and if he really meant what he said, or if he only misspoke.

“Well, it’s very disconcerting when someone who’s not from Alabama says that they participated in our election, so now it’s incumbent upon us to try to identify this young man, to see what kind of role he played, if it was to simply play a canvassing roll, or if he was part of a process that went out and tried to register voters, or if he himself actually became a registered voter,” said Merrill.


The Democrats do pretty well, as a rule in single events when they can focus national “resources” including fraudulent voting, on a local race. Just as they did in Virginia. When they have to spread themselves nationally, it’s a bit harder to overcome America’s natural right of center majority.
