The Chelsea was booked up.
Reminds me of when I was an undergrad years ago and I pulled up a piece of grass and put it into an ash tray. It got me laid.
Looks like dinner to a Venezuelan.
Reminds me of the ‘70s for some reason....
Every day there’s a new reveal that shows Obama was up to his neck in the collusion story.
Did we cover this:

Arthouse Hotel...good thing you didn't identify it before you got back.
Lotsa stalkers on the loose in NYC.
As well as a wide variety of other crazies.
The more we get to hear about the F-35, the worse the story gets. I’m losing faith in our military leadership.
The first one was yesterday and this one is today.
USA to Turkey: “No F-35s For You!”
Hey, David Begley!! Were you allowed to question Biden???
"The assumption of tribalism is deeply offensive."
The first one was yesterday and this one is today.
Trust me, the F-35 is the hottest aircraft in the sky, but most of it isn't speed, and aerodynamics.
Joe Biden: “I Think I’m Either Low IQ or Slow — I Don’t Know"
eventually, Herr "Pluggs' Von Sniffengroper will figure it out
“The first rule of politics is to not reinforce your opponent’s attacks by repeating them,” . “Despite being in elective politics for the last 50 years, Joe Biden apparently didn’t get that memo.”
Search for F-35 problems and you get This is just the top of many.
One wonders about those UFOs, though .....
inexplicable ability to tolerate exponentially more Gs than any known aircraft .....
I mean I would love to own an F-35, if they were for sale, but those UFOs .....
They either are obfuscating or they dont know anything

I didn’t drive over. I had to write a brief. I’ll quiz Biden later.
These fighters are designed to operate mostly in thinner atmospheres, not close to the ground. They would have different design requtements
who said they were fighters?
maybe they are just demonstration airframes

They are already into the C-block of avionics? Trust me, the demonstrable bugs are gone......and your AirForce is getting their first!!
Flynn has fired his legal team. His new mouth piece is Former US Attorney Sydney Powell.
All that is left to wrap up the Flynn plea deal, is sentencing. Now why would a person get a different Attorney, just for the sentencing?
Everything Mueller has done, left dangling threads. Those threads are getting tugged and the unraveling is starting. Soon those fine tales woven by Mueller will amount to nothing.
....your American Air Force is getting there first.

I dont know why Lucas chose x wings I cant imagine that would be aerodynamically stable, and you would need then in space, but he pmbDed the major battles out of the Howard Hughes production wings
He was general mcrystal chief Intel officer who set the framework for the counter insurgency strategy.

After 30 years of maintaining a large lawn ( through either checkbook or sweat) , I finally sold out of suburbia last year. That is exactly the size of lawn I’m wiling to attend to going forward.
Wow, what a nice boutique hotel!
The Air Force needs to shut down the F-35 fiasco and order the amazing Swedish Saab JAS-39 Gripen which is 50% cheaper to build and to operate while outperforming the clunky F-35 (when they can keep the American non-fighter jet in the air).
BTW - Gripen is the Swedish word for Griffin – a mythological animal, half eagle and half lion.
the Obamas haven’t even begun to release THEIR content yet.

In a few weeks anyone will be able to launch their own social network built on the open source New Gab code.
You can self-host it, or in the future we can host it on free speech infrastructure.
You can have your own rules and moderation style. It can't be taken down as a whole.
I don't comment very often (because I'm on the West Coast and get home very late after most other commenters have had their say), but I have been reading Althouse almost every night after Instapundit's first links and I must say: I love Althouse! (and you too Meade!)
Trump details his 3 a.m call on page 17 of book on his Comeback. Negotiating to keep 90 banks in agreement unanimous.
He is quite transparent.

It's a pretty amazing system. Very 'buck rogers'. I suspect it is being groomed as a platform to lead pilotless aircraft into combat.
Howrd. We have enough fourth generation fighters.

Kroger and a pet shop have opened near-the-store parking spots for people who call in and order stuff. They phone the store when they get there and a clerk brings the order out.
Sort of free delivery but you deliver it yourself.
Anyway my question is not why would anybody want to do that (nobody does apparently) but why are the parking spots near the store. It's the store employee that does the walking. It takes close spots from regular shoppers.
The Labour Party is discussing plans to bring in a 10-hour working week and slash pay by 75 per cent to tackle climate change. The radical report titled The Ecological Limits of Work by the Autonomy Group states unless current carbon emissions are cut there would be an ‘unprecedented decrease in the economic activity’.
It says the sustainable work week would likely be ‘well below 10 hours per week’.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, who has previously backed a four-day working week, said: ‘This is a vital contribution to the growing debate around free time and reducing the working week.’ Leo Murray, adviser to Shadow Treasury minister Clive Lewis, said: ‘I like this take a lot.’ - H/T Wattsupwiththat.com
You guys pretend to work and we will pretend to pay you. Sounds familiar but at least they are up front about the economic collapse socialism produeces and now they have moved from denial to bargaining. “It’s not a bug! It’s a feature!"
I saw a story recently where women are far more likely than men to believe in socialism. Nobody is going to do a poll that discovers that women are also far more likely to believe in faeries and guardian angels.
Did they account for the fact people will burn lots more shit just to keep warm?
Did they account for the fact people will burn lots more shit just to keep warm?
That’s a good point. If you only let a man work 10 hrs a week but don’t give him enough to get by the way he thinks he should, he is going to spend the rest of his hours supplementing his meager official income, you know, chopping down trees, creating black markets, etc, etc. We have seen how this plays out in the Soviet Union.
One of the points that warmies like to make is that there is a “hot spot” over Siberia where it used to be far colder. Well, in the Soviet Union, goods were handed out scientifically, so if somebody wrote on a sheet of paper that it was -60C, the government will send more heating oil than if he wrote down on the paper that it was -40. But Soviet man would never cheat! No true Soviet would take the extra heating oil and put it on the black market!

"I’m losing faith in our military leadership."

People who live in "The City" think the rest of us give a shit about their neighborhoods.
It's obnoxious.
Aren't members of the military obliged to refuse unlawful orders? When ordered to illegally intervene in other countries--absent any self-defense necessity or approval by the UN Security Council, and, therefore, illegal--why don't they refuse? I'm sure some in the military leadership disagree with our disastrous and illegal geopolitical gamesmanship, but others, ambitious and eager to aggrandize their own careers, are certainly happy collaborators.
"People who live in "The City" think the rest of us give a shit about their neighborhoods.
It's obnoxious."
Don't be silly, (or so self-absorbed): People who live in the city don't give a shit what the rest of you think about our neighborhoods.
And that's why you explained which neighborhood that picture is from.
Because you don't care.
It's not what we think about those neighborhoods.
It's that we don't think about them.
We don't care.
You were wrong at least twice (I got bored and only counted two.) in one sentence.
Often wrong.
Never in doubt.
Aren't members of the military obliged to refuse unlawful orders?
Yes, they are obliged to refuse orders that are unlawful under US law. I know you have this fantasyland idea of international law, but the only ones that remotely count as US law are treaties approved by the US Senate. Otherwise we get into one more rathole like “free trade” where we are expected to behave in some sort of ideal manner while our enemies use tactics for which we have no realistic answer. “Put out a warrant for bin Laden on Interpol!"

You should have put "illegal" in scare quotes because the security council does not make things illegal under US law.
Nobody covers it well enough, I just want to take as moment to laugh at your citation of the UN as an authority on anything. The UN is nothing more than a welfare program established to pay for 3rd world kleptocrats to come to New York and park illegally. It's not an organization that needs to exist. In most cases, it is worse than useless. It could do more to improve the world by disbanding.
Arthouse used to be the Nylo. Looks like they've toned down that Scandinavian Modern look. The upstairs floor corridors were like a maze of prison halls.
Yes the Libyans put out a interpol bulletin on bin laden that was the same year mi 5 recruited al queda to hit him.

In a word, throughput. A typical shopper may tie up the parking space for 30 minutes, while an online order only takes 5 minutes to load. So you get 6 times as many customers who get the good parking space.
Assuming you have enough demand for the online ordering.

Flynn is going to ask out of the deal on the basis of prosecutorial misconduct. You might read Sydney Powell's book, Licensed to LIe.
This true legal thriller debunks everything the media and the government told us about the Department of Justice’s destruction and prosecution of the venerable accounting firm Arthur Andersen, Merrill Lynch executives who did one business transaction with Enron, Alaska Senator Ted Steven’s, and more. The common thread through it all is a cabal of narcissistic federal prosecutors who broke all the rules and rose to great power. Still in the news today―Robert Mueller s “pitbull" Andrew Weissmann and other members of Obama's inner circle―are wreaking havoc on our Republic. This is the book that began exposing “the Deep State.”
Round #1 of the counterpunch.
"And that's why you explained which neighborhood that picture is from.
Because you don't care."
Well, I live here; I care about our neighborhoods. More to the point, I was responding to someone else's misconception that this was a "hipster" neighborhood. Which is to say, my response was pertinent to an existing comment. It's not always, (in fact, rarely) about you.
"Yes, they are obliged to refuse orders that are unlawful under US law. I know you have this fantasyland idea of international law, but the only ones that remotely count as US law are treaties approved by the US Senate."
We signed the UN Charter, which forbids initiating war (or even threatening war) against other countries, absent a self-defense necessity or approval by the UN Security Council. By our signing the charter, a treaty agreement, that becomes the law of the land, as per the Constitution. If we invade another country simply on our own initiative, absent a self-defense necessity, we have committed a crime, just as would any other country that would invade us.

Take your complaints to the U.S. government, which was instrumental in founding the UN.
The US created the UN for strategic reasons. To begin with it was an instrument of US policy as most of the members were dependent on the US. This was pre-decolonization. Things changed.
The UN was created by the big, responsible countries (self-defined) to keep the small, irresponsible countries in line.
Unless things have changed a lot in the last decades, there is simply no UN major initiative, especially peace-keeping, that is not dependent on US logistical support.
The UN has done some good stuff, but as a body is dedicated mostly to biting the hand that feeds it.

Good ol’ Cookie. Always has his reasons why we should blame America first.
You be you, Cookie.
Yeah, Robert Cook.
It's about me mocking you.
That's not about me.
You were wrong again.
But never in doubt.
"The US created the UN for strategic reasons. To begin with it was an instrument of US policy as most of the members were dependent on the US. This was pre-decolonization. Things changed."
The USA is not the king of the world, and tools it helped create for its own reasons will be used by other participating nations for their own reasons. The UN's primary purpose was to prevent future cataclysmic wars on the scale of WWII from occurring again. So far, whether because of the UN or not, there hasn't been a WWIII. When it happens, it may truly be the war to end all wars.
"The UN was created by the big, responsible countries (self-defined) to keep the small, irresponsible countries in line."
Heh! The USA has shown itself repeatedly to be grossly irresponsible, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, deceiving, and, to repeat, violent. As Martin Luther King said a half century ago, the US is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. True then; still true today.
the US is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. True then; still true today.
Cookie, I'm sure you would be happier in another country that is much more virtuous than ours. I am sure there is a long list you have.
Why not move? Your government job can't be that good to keep you here,
Why should I have to move because criminals in power are acting criminally? They should move...into prison cells!
"The USA is not the king of the world"
The USA was the king of the world. Its difficult to see this from inside the US often enough, and over the last 50 years its overall position has deteriorated.
But back in 1945-60? You bet. The US was the biggest thing on earth, in every dimension.
"Why should I have to move because criminals in power are acting criminally? "
Because it is not a question of "criminals in power". Everything is about systems, and cultures, not persons. If you have criminals in power it is because the system as a whole is criminal. That is, the entire tip of the politico-cultural-economic-intellectual hierarchy.
Or if not, not.
" The UN's primary purpose was to prevent future cataclysmic wars on the scale of WWII from occurring again."
Yes. And the mechanism for that was to be the patching-up of the League of Nations perceived primary weakness, the failure to act in the cases of international aggression. Like what happened to Ethiopia, Spain, Austria, Czechoslovakia, etc. The League had been appealed to by a member, Ethiopia, failed to act, and thereby failed entirely, to the point that by the next year nobody even bothered to appeal to it.
People forget that the original purpose of the UN was to make it easier for the world as a whole to GO TO WAR, to stop wars of aggression.
That's why the UN as a whole intervened in Korea. People forget about just how international that was. You even had the Turks and the Greeks on the same side for the first time. The Ethiopians fought superbly well in the snows of the 38th parallel.
The last time this all actually worked, sort of, was in 1960-64-ish, in Katanga. You had the Indians, Swedes and Irish trying to suppress Katangan secession. But after that the stomach for all this went out of the UN, and its primary purpose, that of 1945, was gone.

In a word, throughput. A typical shopper may tie up the parking space for 30 minutes, while an online order only takes 5 minutes to load. So you get 6 times as many customers who get the good parking space.
Doesn't make sense. The employees do the walking so put it way out there. Otherwise every customer has to walk 4 cars further to get into the store. That is to say, every open spot would be 4 cars closer to the store without this feature there, whether only a few customers got the closest spots or not.
