Cooking, with LSP

You can't cook with LSP! I hear you say in that half-dismissive, half-indignant way of yours. But you can! And here's how.

Get some 80/20 Chuck, separate it out and add seasoning, salt and pepper, not Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco or some other thing. You're making hamburgers, not Bloody Marys. Wash your hands in cold water and shape that meat into balls, then press them into 3/4" patties. Put those patties in the refrigerator as you fire up the Weber. I prefer two chimneys of charcoal.

Why? Because you want the grill to be hot. Then have a glass or two of ice-cold beer, why not? There's no law against it, and when the charcoal's ready, spread it out and cover the grill to preheat it for around 5 minutes. Uncover and get the patties; put them on the hot grill. It should sizzle.

Cover the grill and let the meat cook for 4 minutes. Uncover and flip the burgers. Cover again and cook for another 4 minutes. Take the burgers off the grill, and cover in tinfoil. Then toast some buns; be careful, they don't take long, and use Sesame Seed buns, not some weird "artisanal" high-stepping tomfoolery. 

Dallas

Lay out sliced onion, tomatoes and iceberg lettuce, English mustard, ketchup, and Duke's Mayonnaise. Say grace, and eat those burgers like a chieftain.

And that's cooking, with...

The Watcher

I like my dog for his ears and sometimes wild eyes. He's a fierce little thing and has a visceral hatred of mail trucks. Though he likes gunfire well enough. In fact he likes that a lot.

He likes to set up on the porch, too. So do I. You meet a lot of the congregation that way and it's better than being cooped up inside. That's what I think and I'm sticking to it.

Just Some Crazy Person

Good luck finding Hillary's emails.

Redder Than Russia? #3

Do you remember the old days? Back when America was fighting a Cold War for freedom and democracy against the godless Reds? Back then, Russia went to the Communist Manifesto for guidance, and we were against that.

The Communist Manifesto is famously against the "bourgeois claptrap of the family," and so were the Reds, who encouraged abortion, no-fault divorce and "free love." 

Modern America stands for gay marriage, and it's fast becoming a hate crime to be against it. In Russia, "gay propaganda" is illegal.

So who's more Red these days, America, or Russia?

You be the judge,

Stations & Benediction

So what's up, LSP? You ask, in that questioning way. Well I'll tell you. I drove to Dallas in ferocious highway rain to give a Lenten sermon in that space between Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Get a Haircut

It was good to get out and I like the church and its people. My theme (set by the Rector) was, "Give us this day our daily bread." I was pleased to talk about that, and they're a good crew at St. Matthias, Dallas.

O Salutaris

Somehow, "deadly assault rifle" got into my sermon. Unlike "fire and movement." Must work on that.

Homiletic skills,

Civil Rights Hero, Lesley McSpadden

This is Michael Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden. She was invited to speak to a UN Committee Against Torture last year. After testifying, the UN panel recommended the immediate arrest of Officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, after Brown rushed him on the same day that he robbed a store.

Lesley McSpadden

Darren Wilson was acquitted, though he had to leave Ferguson PD. Lesley McSpadden is facing a felony armed robbery indictment. Why? Because this civil rights heroine decided to trash Pearlie Gordon's Michael Brown T Shirt stand, in the parking lot of a BBQ joint in Ferguson.

Civil Rights

Pearlie is the mother-in-law of Michael Brown's father, who is divorced from McSpadden, and she wasn't too pleased to see someone else making a bit of unauthorized tin on the Gentle Giant Franchise.

McSpadden, and her crew of 20 or 30 people, attacked the rival vendors. According to a police report, Gordon said that McSpadden approached her tent and told her she couldn't sell the merchandise. When Pearlie refused, McSpadden's mother, Desuria Harris, began pulling down t-shirts that were hanging on a line, and then other attackers started tearing apart her booth and beating the Brown memorabilia sellers.

Hero

Gordon claims that McSpadden repeatedly punched her in the head during the assault, which left one person hospitalized. Pearlie alleges that Brown's stepfather, ex-con, Louis Head, was also involved in the fighting.

Louis And Lesley, Cashing In

Reflect on this. Louis Head and Leslie McSpadden were invited to testify before the United Nations.

Michael Brown

Two policemen were shot, early today, during a demonstration against police brutality in Ferguson. Some say that Eric Holder and President Obama have blood on their hands.

Pink Panto Pogrom?

As you're busy contemplating the artistic genius of Sting, perhaps you're thinking that the Pink Revolution, which has swept our great nation, is all about the rich rainbow hues of tolerant diversity. This is what Rod Dreher thinks:

"It never was going to be enough for progressives to get gay marriage and discrimination against LGBTs outlawed except for within religious organizations. Now the push from progressive elites will be to tear down the wall protecting religious liberty to punish the wrongthinkers. If you don’t think this is coming, you are a fool. The Law of Merited Impossibility is vindicated more and more each day."

If you don’t think this is coming, you are a fool. The end goal is to outlaw traditional Christianity, i.e. Christianity itself.

You can read the whole thing here, if you like.

The Genius of Sting

Is Sting a genius, a musical genius? Or is he just another rich NWO, Illuminati pop star, who crawled out of the council flat and into the Hollywood big time, with Dune, and Brimstone and Treacle and the smash hit band, The Police?

Do you remember his great songs, like Message in a Bottle? Here's some of the lyrics:

Just a castaway

An island lost at sea

Another lonely day

With no one here but me

More loneliness

Than any man could bear

Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world

I'll send an SOS to the world

I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle [x2]

What do the critics say? "Sting's songwriting ability is astonishing. His simple, clever lyrics tell complicated stories in less than four minutes, also infusing them with humor, politics, love and despair."

That's about his "musical."

Sting is a millionaire socialist.

Go On, Shoot Your Upgraded AR15

Keen-eyed readers of this family oriented info blog, will know that I decided to take my AR15 apart and install a new gas block and a Yankee Hill free-float tube. Why? Just for fun and because I wanted to learn more about the rifle, with a view to building one myself. Neat project.

Must Get Front Sight...

I reckon the reassembled gun looked good, in a deadly black assault rifle kind of way, but I took it to a friend who knows about these things before I shot it. He gave it the green light, so off I went to the range with some boxes of cheap steel cased Tulammo and a value pack of Remington .223.

That'll Do

How did it shoot? Just fine, and I had fun setting myself various drills from 30, 50, 75 and 100 yards. Were the groups any better with the free-float thing? Maybe a bit, given no magnification, eyesight that could be better and a dog who enjoyed leaping up in sheer joy and excitement at the sound of the gun.

I Love The Range!

I had to put him on a leash in the end. But I'm pleased with my first foray into the world of under-the-hood ARishness. The gun worked and worked well. Next step? Keep this carbine to shoot cheap steel cased ammo and build a 7.62/.308 on the same platform. I've decided against a "6", you see, but that's a whole new story.

Shoot straight,

Cooking With LSP

So how do you cook with LSP? I hear you ask, in that incredulous way. Well, I'll tell you. Get a couple of thick pork chops with plenty of fat on them; rub salt, pepper and olive oil onto the chops, and let them sit while you preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Enjoy a glass of wine while you're at it, why not? 

Then heat up an iron skillet with some oil in it until the thing's smoking hot, and put the chops in the skillet. It'll smoke. Don't freak out, it's supposed to. Watch those chops fry, a minute a side, and enjoy the aroma of cooking pork as you test out the wine. Frying done, put the chops in the oven, in the skillet. I like to add a good slice of butter on them at this point, but that's just me.

Typical Street Scene in LSPland

Let the meat cook for 4 minutes max, 2 minutes a side, then remove the skillet from the oven. Place the chops aside, under tinfoil, and get that skillet on a hot burner. Add chicken broth, some crushed garlic, and a bit of rosemary to the pork drippings. Maybe tip some wine in, just for kicks, and thicken with flour as you whisk away like a PR spin. Cut the sauce with lemon juice, if you like, to taste.

A Wrench, A Crush Washer, And A Flash Hider

Put the chops on a plate. Add mashed potatoes and some other vegetable, like yellow squash, or carrots, and pour the gravy. Behold the glory of the chops, say grace, and eat your food like a champion.

And that's cooking, with...

LSP.

The New Millennium of Satan

Imagine, for a moment, that everything's fine. You have lots of money, and so does your "creative" partner. There's a neat house, with an immaculate garden, of course, in a toney part of town. You're even married, life is good! 

But there's a problem, a dark cloud on the not-so-distant horizon, perhaps it's even directly overhead. Despite everything, the house, the money, the great neighborhood, you can't have children. At least not ones that are genetically related to you. Why? Because you and your "spouse" are two dudes. But that's about to change.

Thanks to the University of Cambridge and the Weizman Institute in Israel, it's now possible to make human egg and sperm cells from two adults of the same gender, using stem cells. 

Think about that for a moment and ask yourself where stem cells come from. As you reflect, here's what a friend had to say, "You can crush up some babies and mix your blood with the slurry, and a child emerges in your image and likeness? How normal, just living the American Dream."

American Dream, normal? In the New Millennium of Satan, maybe it is.

I've been to the Weizman Institute and found an old 7.62 bullet there, lying on the ground by an orange grove. That was before it became an alchemical, satanic, NWO golem factory.

God bless,

Redder Than Russia? #2

Do you remember the old days, when we were in a Cold War with Russia? One of the things we didn't like about the godless Reds was their intolerance of Christianity. The Communists didn't like Christianity at all, and did their best to get rid of it.

These days, Russia encourages the church and it's active in schools, the armed forces, and throughout civil society. The Russian State actively promotes the Orthodox Church, and some see a return of symphonia between the temporal and spiritual powers. 

In America, by contrast, Christian prayer is banned in Public Schools, while our President promotes Islam -- and I'll leave it at that. 

So who's redder now, America, or Russia? 

You decide.
