Robert T. Ure aka Chip Ahoy, RIP 😢

 

Chip Ahoy

I saw his post back in April that he was in the hospital, not realizing he had already passed. Chip Ahoy, as we bloggers knew him (Bo as his family knew him), was an interesting guy fascinated by pop up cards, Egyptian hierographic, gardening, and cooking. He posted about that and more. I will greatly miss him. My condolences to his family. RIP.

Chip's heart was certainly lighter than a feather...

Lem's Levity: Chip off the Old Chip and RIP

Lem's Levity and Political Clown Parade, RIP

Sad news from Lem's Place. Too bad, although I missed Chip being there. 

We lost Political Clown Parade too. 

I hope it is more of a temporary break  or sabatical, than a permanent retirement. I don't like how things are going, but I understand the frustration for Lem and his need to stay employed.

Lem's Place had a post with Lynda Kay Parker (in honor of the passing of Kirk Douglas).  

It is a great cover of a Town Without Pity so I am doing this post too.

Plain Sawn, Quarter Sawn, and Rift Sawn

Better furniture is usually either quarter sawn or rift sawn (or a mix of the two). Correspondingly, higher grade and more expensive hardwoods are typically quarter sawn or rift sawn. There is more waste from the log in doing it that say, but the quality of the boards produced is far better due to the alingment of the grain (the grain is tigher and the boards will be more dimentially stable).  

What is the difference between plain sawn, quarter sawn, and rift sawn lumber? 

Lem's Place: Thank You, Sixty Grit and Germination

Former ICE Director Thomas Homan responds to accusations of racism (Bravo Director Homan)

Lem's Place has this posted.  But it is so important and powerful as a rebuttal I am posting it too.  

Thomas Homan is spot on. There needs to be far more push back from the GOP on demagogues Democrats like Chuy Garcia and AOC. We are supposed to be a nation of laws and Democrats encouraging families to cross the border illegally (such as swimming the Rio Grande or crossing deserts without adequate water) results in deaths of children. It also results in families being preyed upon by criminals involved in border crossings.

Is Trump Already A Lame Duck?

Lem's Levity: A few of the commentators over at Lem's seems overly concerned...

They need to grow a set. Seriously, do they just listen to the mainstream media all day and get frothed into a lather?  Or maybe a few of them really are covert lefties who are pretending to be 'principled conservatives'?  Or maybe a couple of them have personality conflicts with a few other folks over there and just want to say "I told you so" more out of saying "I told you so" than anything else?  

Sorry, but some of you folks need to cowboy up and stop acting like you should be bloated water retaining moderators over at RedState.  Maybe some of these folks want to be staffers or supporters for Evan McMullin? Trump has a great speech earlier this month in front of Congress, and a few weeks later everything is a crap sandwich.  Amartel gives a great response to these nattering naysayers.  

The Gorsuch nomination is Yuge (in a very good way).  Of course there are no guarantees with any of this. I doubt Gorsuch when he gets on the bench is going to be the next Clarence Thomas, but I suspect he will be way better than John Roberts. Given the alternatives, I consider that a very big win. Now in the remote chance somehow Schumer manages to block this next Friday or Senate GOPe turn around and stab Trump in the back, fair enough.  

But don't limit it to Gorsuch, Trump did something else that helps make America great again.  Trump's roll back of Obama's unconstitutional climate change rules is also a huge win for the economy and Midwest States. Win!  As Don Surber noted, Trump realizes CO2 is a nutrient. 

We have a full on frontal assault by the media on Trump.  Why not call them out on it?  Ted Koppel's hair is worse than the Donald's.  

The Democrats, while potentially dangerous, are weak and losers. The DNC is in shambles.  Schumer screaming at a Trump supporter at a restaurant is not the behavior of a strong leader, it shows what a weak shrill little bitch he actually is.  And if he filibusters Gorsuch...oh well!

Now granted there is risk out there to Trump. The GOPe could screw this all up.  The GOPe is blocking wall funding. The health care thing was messed up, but it is hardly over yet. So while things might not turn out exactly as we like, I still know what could have been.

Wombat: American Power: Ford Investing $1.2 Billion In U.S. Plants As Trump Touts Jobs – #MAGA!, Don Surber: Trump Realizes CO2 Is A Nutrient, The Jawa Report: Three Refugees Arrested, Lied On Visa Applications, and Twitchy: Did Former Obama Appointee Evelyn Farkas Just Admit Trump’s Staff Was Spied On?

Legal Insurrection: You go to war with the President you got,  Dem base not even woke to coming tsunami of Trump lower court nominations Or as you might like to say: Boom!

Rush Limbaugh: Wrong target Mr. President: It was not the Freedom Caucus who is to blame, The failure of the Obamacare repeal gives the GOP the opportunity to do it better and HBO's Big Little Lies puts miserable liberal lives on display

Instapundit: Maybe the problem is Ryan, The big fail is the media, How Obama weaponized the media against Trump, Folks, this is fun. I am having the time of my life..., If he has to leverage, why the Freedom Caucus? Why not the GOPe?

Don Surber: The Art of the Health Deal and We will still Trump Obamacare

Powerline: Will Democrats Die on Mount Gorsuch?

Roger Simon: Democrat Anger Management

Small Dead Animals: Winning

Daily Caller: Of course, you realize, this means war!

AoSHQ: 2020 Race for the White House

Doug Ross: Mr. President, don't make us choose

Don Surber: Media completely miss the real story behind the Trump Administration

Daily Mail:  President Trump calls Chuck Todd "Sleepy-Eyed" in response to his claims Trump is Lame Duck

Can Trump Do This?

Instapundit: Can we see Trump consistently pivot for the general?  

We know for sure he can act presidential and go on the attack with Hillary, we have seen him do it. The issue is whether Trump can stay disciplined and consistent through the election in November? His biggest weakness is rising for the bait when other people try to set him up. Michael Walsh's advice is spot on. 

Don't kid yourself, if the election were today Trump would probably lose. But Trump can definitely win this thing. But it is going to take work to do it. Trump has to win over enough voters to defeat Hillary. Bombast alone will not do it--his attacks need to be smart and targeted.  

So he lost George Will? Sorry, not voting for Trump or opting out is one thing (I may not vote for Trump myself), but #NeverTrumpers actively trying to defeat him for the benefit of Hillary Clinton is another thing all to gether.  

Lem's Levity: Hillary and Obama have shown unexcused incompetence (Trump should focus on this).  

Instapundit: Trump slightly behind in battlerground states, the forgotten voters, and Democrat Hypocrisy
