Maggie's Farm

Some readers objected to those Sopranos clips yesterday. That show was a dark comedy, that's all. Not everybody gets the humor.

Just like Washington DC. Same deal. Both cesspools. Here is Washington DC:

Peterson is calmly interviewed by a skeptic.  "It's not political. It's psychological."

Season 6. Crude and violent.

That's what England's Daniel Hannan is wondering.

What Hannan is missing, I think, is that it is just the MSM that is troubled - and the Dems, of course. 

Rosenstein Suggested He Secretly Record Trump and Discussed 25th Amendment

"If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog."  Trump has no friends there. And where is Sessions?

It's like a digital Old Testament God. And, it seems, the Chinese don't mind much.

Cultural differences are interesting. Euroland is halfway there, but US citizens (other than those dependent on it) mostly retain an attitude of rebellion against government power. Still, I bet somebody at the NSA would love those Chinese systems.

The bureaucrats vs the elected reps of the people: FBI, DOJ To Defy Trump Order; Redactions Planned As Top 'Deep State' Dems Demand Insubordination

They can not do that. Trump was elected because he was an outsider with big balls.

It's a set-up

" Sorry, I’m a simple man. What’s happening here is pure BS."

Democrats’ smash and smear agenda reaches new heights

Is any part of American society filthier than Washington DC?

Condell on the Brexit morons

If you have no idea of how to deal with the occasional hurricane and the frequent nor'easter, you have no business living on the Atlantic coast and less so in flood zones. Never live in a flood zone or, God knows, below sea level. Common sense.

I am not heartless, but please. These are normal weather events in these areas and everybody knows it. No reason to be stupid about it, or surprised. Why are 100s of people "awaiting rescuing"? They were told there would be no rescues. A week's warning ought to be sufficient.

Dramatic weather, raw Nature, is certainly exciting despite being predictable. Hence Weather Porn. 

Trump colluded with the Weather Gods: Trump is 'complicit' for dangerous storm

Senior Official To Axios: There Are “Dozens And Dozens Of Us” On The Inside Working Against Trump Like The NYT Op-Ed Writer

I have been using Nike crossfit sneakers (Metcons) for my workouts. I have 2 pairs, so one is always dry. No heel, minimal cushioning, so perfect for all  mixed workouts. Why would they want to engage me in political bullshit?

Commenter at Ace:  "NIKE is going where the bucks are - single parent black teenage males. Who else buys $300 sneakers?"

Apparently I am not their customer.  $300?  I would never spend $100 on exercise shoes. Just go online and get last year's model for $25-50. Problem is, now I know they do not welcome my patronage. Idiots not to want me to buy their darn sneakers because I wear mine out with an approximation of the Maggie's program. They last one year.

Exercise tip:  Running shoes are the worst unless you are a foolish road-runner. They are not gym shoes, but fine walking sneakers for the elderly. They have too much of everything so there is no floor-feel. Fact is, barefoot would probably be best for everybody but gyms do not allow that. 

Reebok Nanos and Reebok Crossfit are good fitness cross-training sneakers. New Balance makes a Minimus trainer. Try it. For calisthenics, weights, cardio machines, etc you want minimal shoe. Big cushioning is supposedly for running on cement, which we do not advise. If you need thick pillows on your feet, you are doing something wrong.

Political nonsense aside, what do our readers like for cross-training footwear? 

Commenter at ZH:

"Steele was likely working for Putin-linked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska at the exact same time he was telling Hillary and the press that Trump’s alleged ties to Russia were treason. "

Mueller?

Mueller??

MUELLER????!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is “My Way” The Most Masculine Song Ever Created?
