    The Trump Card...

    I'll be surprised if Trump fires Rosenstein. They apparently had a lengthy phone conversation today, and they'll talk it out on Thursday. Even if he does fire him, much to the chagrin of NYT and WaPo the White House nor the Justice Department will be in "turmoil" (the latest IT word they are...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump's in NY at the UN, so now Trump and Rosenstein will meet in Thursday to discuss things. Thursday is a good day, because that's probably gonna be a slow news day. :D Rod Rosenstein thinks he's Obi Wan Kenobi. "You can't win, TrumpVader. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful...

    Did McD tell you?

    That's a 2007 document from the New South Wales (Australia) Department of Primary Industries, and applies to Australian beef.

    The Fake News Depot

    You may have heard the rumors that Twitter, Facebook, Google and other tech information entities are biased against conservatives, and that they vigorously and emphatically deny any and all such allegations, despite their actions telling the exact opposite story. There is a new entry into...

    In Persuit Of The PERFECT Van Bed Set Up

    To me, the perfect bed is one that is always available, loaded or unloaded. I learned that hard lesson many moons ago when the van's cargo space was stuffed and I had a run from Chicago, IL to Oakland, CA, with no place to sleep for 3 days. The lesson was further reinforced when I had a load...

    The Deep State Files

    Also not to be completely overlooked is the fact that this was reported by the NYT, which on the surface might look like it's a story favorable of Trump, but the NYT would like nothing more than for Trump to fire somebody, anybody, but especially Sessions or Rosenstein, before the midterm elections.

    The Deep State Files

    I think Rosenstein was exactly as serious about wearing a wire and secretly recording the president, as the president was when he asked Russia to find Hillary's missing emails. Rosenstein didn't shield McCabe, and I think this is McCabe trying to get revenge, wanting Rosenstein to get fired.

    The Deep State Files

    I think it's another case of the NYT working overtime to create a FAKE NEWS narrative. I can see Rosenstein saying that about a wire, sarcastically. But not seriously. Sarcastically makes sense, seriously does not, even if we assume Rosenstein is as wicked and evil as Fox News makes him out to...

    The Trump Card...

    Jack Ma has a history of making big promises and then backing out of them, so I don't know why anyone would have believed him when he promised a million jobs to the US. I certainly didn't. And I certainly didn't credit Trump for bringing 1 million jobs to the US before they showed up. Actions...

    Upcoming Nielsen Survey on SiriusXM

    I have been a Neilson family four times in the past, but never with SXM. As for why I still pay for the crappy programming in 2018, I signed up in 2005 when they started carrying MLB play by play. That's still my main reason for subscribing, but I listen to several music and news channels.

    Cargo Van E Track Instillation

    I use those E-track fittings for a 2x4, but I use a 2x8 plank. A 2x4 in there will certainly stop a pallet from skidding forward, but it won't stop the freight on the pallet from sliding right over it A load bar like that (is it called a stopper now?) is all you need for a lot of cargo van...

    The Fake News Depot

    That's exactly it. Trump's number of less than 100 is a businessman's number, the number of people who died directly by the hurricane. The number of nearly 3000 is a political number designed for blame. It includes people who died in the aftermath, many who died months later, who, potentially...

    Yes it does. With a van, even when you can find good people to put in there, you can't keep them very ling because there's just not enough money in it. It's much more cost effective and profitable to do that with a straight truck.

    Sprinter is like Kleenex. Ram Promaster, Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, they're all Sprinters. :D As for how much you can make with a driver in the van, specifics are hard to come by, but in the abstract, the Rule of Thirds still applies. One Third goes to operating expenses (fuel, oil, the...

    I think it's interesting that we have someone here decrying racism, and being racist to do so.

    The ONE in September

    You have the 6600R (R is for Rain Sensor). The toggle switch by the knob enables or disables the rain sensor. When it's really humid and the dome can't decide whether to close or open, because it doesn't know the difference between humid and rain, you'll know when to disable it. The...

    Yeah, it was funny. Annoying, but funny. THe first sign the multifunction switch is going bad is the wiper delay doesn't work, or works erratically (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). After that it moves to headlights and/or turn signals. If you Google "headlights flash with turn signal"...

    The ONE in September

    I also had a Fantastic Fan Vent adventure. I had the model 6600, with the 14 speeds, rain sensor, all that. I hit the remote to turn on the fan, the dome raised and the fan came on, and as soon as the dome reached fully open it immediately closed right back down and the fan shut off. I finally...
