The January 6 "Insurrection" That Wasn't

Reader James from Columbus sent in an article that I thought was worth passing along. It makes several good points and establishes several solid reasons this was not an insurrection, but an event that was encouraged by the left to take place and then exploited by the commies to thwart investigations into the obvious inconsistencies and voter fraud of the most recent election.

I had a few ask. 
Yes, I made that skillet of biscuits day before yesterday morning and took that picture in my kitchen. This is how I do it. I use about 2 C of White Lily self-rising flour, 1/4 cup of Lard, and about 3/4 C of buttermilk. I play this by ear and prefer a wetter dough, but that is me. I rarely measure anything. Cut the Lard into the flour with a fork. Then mix it all up. Next, lightly flour a work surface, and roll dough till it is about 3/4 thick. My mother pats her biscuits out by hand pinching off just enough and with flour on her hands she quickly shapes the dough into a biscuit, but I use a 2.5" cutter. While doing all of this, preheat the oven to 450F. I use an iron skillet lightly greased with Lard (a baking pan will work). After the oven has reached 450F and with the oven rack placed in the top notch. I check them after nine minutes. Sometimes it is necessary to crank the oven up to broil if they are slow browning on top. I'd rather have a nice soft biscuit with a lightly browned bottom and pale top than an overcooked/burned biscuit. Might have to play with the recipe a few times. A lot of factors come into play that might result in variations (differences of ovens, pans, altitude, etc.). My mother is the best biscuit makers in seven counties. I learned to make biscuits watching her. Mine are fairly close in appearance, texture, and taste, but most of all we like them. LOL. It is a funny thing about biscuits. Almost everyone uses the same ingredients, but hardly ever does anyone make biscuits that are even close to be alike. My grandmothers were prime examples. Both used the same exact ingredients making biscuits as my mother and all three made different variations. Good luck if you decide to try a batch. Let me know how it goes.

I am not sure if it is instinctive or some sort of facilitated response caused by the local media and their attempts to panic the local populace, sell bread & milk, increase their ratings with the current bombardment about the coming flurries and artic temps, but I woke up hungry. I normally something lighter most days but will cook something heavier on the weekends from time to time. I was craving some "stick to the ribs food". When I decided to cook biscuits, my Sorghum Syrup light came on and I had to quell the craving. Once a staple for families of the rural south, it is still around, but not near as popular. I try to keep some on hand. I don't know many who eat it regularly. It was on the table at my house practically all my life and I loved then and still do. For those unfamiliar, this is how you do it.

News of my demise is greatly exaggerated

 Welcome to 2025.  

I’ve been down and out with the sickness du jour and associated symptoms.  Just feeling a little more alive today so I made my way to work.  I know my inbox for the blog is full so if I haven’t replied don’t take it personal.  

Not much else to report on other than this has been going on too long.  Was sick the beginning of December, felt better. Had my year end physical and got high marks with blood work and overall health   Then got sick again last Thursday the 26th. The days are melted together and it seems like Christmas was a month ago. It’s strange as others are reporting a warped sense of time and days.  

Happy New Year to all.   

When I finally get back to some semblance of normal I’ll be around.

Charlie Foxtrot New Orleans

 

                                                        15 Dead / 35+ injured  

We are currently being told that there was a terrorist attack and then there was not and now there was a terrorist attack in New Orleans where a person apparently intentionally flanked the police barricades crashing a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers. Then, the person runs toward and starts shooting cops. The media is reporting two NOPD officers are dead. The Eff Bee Eye's first response was to deny that this was deliberate terrorist attack ( Lying ). I am not sure if I am angrier about the commies for fostering this "mass migration"/lawless movement or the effbeeeye clown denying the obvious from the get go. If the person who made this ridiculous statement, knowing it was lie when they told it, just happened to show up on Bourbon Street publicly whipped, tarred, feathered, and made to wear a sign saying "I am a known liar" for  few days the next talking head would think twice before making such a statement to the American public.

                                     As usual, I am sure the media is telling a Nugene Ledbetter story.

Happy New Year To All!

                                                  

                                                 

                                                          and I hope you have a goodun'
