May his time in Hell be tempered by the good he did after he was no longer in office.
In my opinion, this man started the decline of respect for the United States. His policies were so bad that we still have not recovered from them.
The Middle East is a cesspool of tribes. All of which hate each other, except maybe the Jewish people.
Middle Eastern tribes respect only one thing, power. If you have power, you are respected. If you do not have power, you are less than the dirt beneath their sandals.
The Peanut farmer let the US embassy in Iran be taken multiple times by “students”.
He was so afraid of “offending” the Iranians, that he ordered the Guards at the US Embassy to be disarmed. AFTER they were over run.
When the “students” took over and took hostages, he sat with his thumb up his arse playing footsy with Mrs. Peanut Farmer for 100s of days.
I know, personally, that there were troops in the air within hours of the hostages being taken. I know, personally, that there was a plan to retake the embassy within a few hours of it being taken.
That weakness led to the fall of Iran. Which turned it into the terrorist state of Iran.
The World Trade Center bombings? Jimmy’s fault.
The bombing of the U.S.S. Cole? Jimmy’s fault.
9/11? Jimmy’s fault.
The slight tinge of regret I have is for his Wife. I don’t think she is in Hell with him.
Last week I cooked up a turkey breast that had been lurking in the freezer for a while. It was a lovely treat, and we really enjoyed it. However, with just a few of us here at the house these days, even cooking up just a breast is a bit much. I decided I would make turkey pot pies out of the leftovers, some of which we’d eat right away, and some that could go in the freezer. The grocery store was sadly lacking in pie crusts, and I’m just not great at making them. So I decided to try Turkey a la King, because it was sort of an inside out turkey pie. The end result was incredibly delicious, and we really enjoyed it! I hope you do, too.
Ingredients
4 tbsp butter or margarine
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
5 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups milk (oatmilk also works)
salt and pepper to taste
1-1/2 lbs cooked turkey breast, cut into 1″ chunks
1 cup frozen peas or mixed vegetables
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Warm biscuits or puff pastry shells for serving
In a large skillet or cast iron pot, melt the butter over medium high heat. When the butter is bubbling slightly and is completely melted, add in the carrot, onion, and celery. Cook for about ten minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add in the flour, and quickly stir to coat all the vegetables as evenly as you can. Immediately whisk in the broth, milk, and salt and pepper. Add the liquid slowly while whisking rapidly throughout, to achieve a silky smooth finish. This part should take about five minutes to complete. Add in the turkey, potato, and peas, and stir occasionally until the dish is warmed through, about ten more minutes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms, onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve the turkey mixture over top of the biscuits or puff pastry shells, and sprinkle with a bit of fresh minced parsley for color and flavor.
Notes:
So traditionally, this would be made with 8 oz or so of sliced mushrooms. I didn’t have any on hand, so this is my version of the more traditional recipe. I used an old fashioned biscuit recipe for this, but you could do any biscuits, including the “quick” ones on a box of Bisquick.
If you find that your finished product isn’t thick enough, you can fix it in one of three ways. First, you can use the traditional route, which is to make a roux in another pan and then add the roux to the boiling turkey mixture. Stir well, and it should thicken. Second, you can make a slurry (a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch with just enough cold water to make a thin paste) and add that to the boiling turkey mixture. Stir, and it should thicken up. The third, and inarguably the easiest method, is to add a teaspoon or so of potato flakes to the mixture. Simply sprinkle potato flakes on top of the boiling turkey mixture, and then stir. Continue to add more potato flakes a little at a time until the desired thickness is achieved.
The suspicion of an attack on Route 4 is growing: a fatally wounded person at one scene and a moderately wounded person at a second scene Amit Segal on Telegram, Google AI translation

Ben Gvir: The person who killed the terrorists was a citizen who received a weapon thanks to my reform. Amit Segal
Ben-Gvir has advocated for increased private gun ownership, significantly relaxing the country’s traditionally stringent gun control laws and easing the rules of engagement for police officers. Last August, Ben-Gvir publicly commended an Israeli settler for fatally shooting a Palestinian teenager during a clash near the West Bank town of Burqa. After Oct. 7, Ben-Gvir called for a national campaign to give weapons to Israelis. His former cover photo on X, formerly Twitter, said in Hebrew, “Israel is arming!”

The title on the web page is now “Israeli Civilians Are Taking Up Arms”.
The article is another anti-gun screed by the normal people, decrying the number of deaths “caused” by guns.
One of the things that Ben-Gvir’s new regulations have accomplished is that Israeli citizens are no longer disarmed after a self-defense shooting.
While we in the US have backup guns for our backup guns, many people that own firearms in foreign countries consider themselves to be lucky to have just one. … the practice of requiring citizens involved in an attack to hand over their personal weapons for extended examination and investigation.—id.
It seems like they are starting to come around to “it is a good idea for people to be armed”.
To put this in some sort of perspective, Israel is smaller in area than New Hampshire. It is a little longer north-south and about the same east-west. There isn’t a place in New Hampshire that you can’t reach from the border within an hour of driving.
The enemies of Israel surround it. There is no place more than an hour from the border with hostiles.
Three steps forward, 2 steps back, we should be stable.
Nerd stuff: We upgraded our infrastructure, again. We moved from a copper to a fiber backbone. Server links are now up to 25Gbit/second. Everything went smoothly until we started our final tests. It appears that the new switch defaulted ports in the wrong direction.
This default blocked traffic from our distributed network file system. The switch has been beaten into submission, and is now performing its duties correctly.
In two days it will be July 4th. The 4th of July holds a special place in my heart.
It is one of 365 days of the year when I give thanks for being privileged to have been born in these United States.
I live in a country where there is more freedom than in any other country. I have the freedom to travel, to speak, to defend myself. I have the freedom to grow, to learn, to sing (badly), to laugh and to love.
The amount of freedom I have is unrivaled.
I do not have the talent to put my love of country into song or verse. I can only say, I am proud to be an American.
