Next week we continue our run of great articles contributed by the Glibertariat. In addition to Part 4 of Suthenboy’s reloading series, we’ll have regular features from Not Adahn and Tulip, and–if we’re super good–Web Dominiatrix and SugarFree.
Many quality pieces are on tap from new and used contributors. Wait, that didn’t sound right. New and veteran contributors. New and seasoned. New and not-so-new. Um…new authors and people who have written for us before: WTF; Gadianton; mexican sharpshooter; I.B. McGinty; Waterfall Insurance; SP (oh, that’s me); and Evan from Evansville. Yusef Drives a Kia is on vacation, apparently without his little Army men.
And, of course, you’ll be getting your regularly scheduled Daily Links as well, because we never under promise and sometimes over deliver here at Glib HQ.
OK, that’s all I’ve got. Saturday Night Open Post commencing in 3, 2, 1…!

Changes my mind. Smoked meatloaf with hatch chilies that I roasted earlier. To the smoker and the bottle! First?
After a quick google, Hatch chiles are just anaheim chiles that are grown in Hatch county NM, I know that climate and soil can make a difference but this seems a little like the Vidalia onion scam where the locality maters simply because people say it does. I grow dozens of different chiles some super hot some super tasty and I’m in Ohio for fuqsake.
Yeah so you wanna fight? They are in season right now and THAT is what I am going to make. Now where is my beer?
Vidalias aren’t a scam, because the lack of sulfur in the soil makes a difference.
Walla Walla Sweets the size of a basketball are in season, so I’ll hold off on Vidalia’s Until I can’t get a superior product.
I’m already crying that the season is almost over. I do like the smaller sized ones though.
They are huge this year. The ones I grew turned out the same. The red and white onions were a little more reasonable.
These euphemisms.
Smoked meatloaf, ftw.
Yep. Using mesquite this time around with a sweet glaze. Love summer time and sitting outside letting myself baste in the aroma of smoldering wood.
smoldering wood
Chicks dig it too.
Don’t for get the brine yourself with good beverages.

That’s awesome!
TY Sir!
I think I might write an article on yoga. Jesse insists it would be worthwhile. So I’ve been mulling it over.
Jesse just wants to see you in yoga pants.
I’m sure I’m not his type.
Yes please. Want to start yoga and would like any insight.
Set up in the back of the room.
Trust me.
I get it.
There is a daily yoga session on the bluff, overlooking the ocean here in Long Beach. I jogged by last Friday, and omg there were so many cuties just stretching and getting warmed up.
Yeah. I’m going to start some yoga.

Do it. Beyond the scenery, it’s really good for your strength and flexibility.
Extremely humbling.

How dare people make smart long-term investment decisions that benefit their offspring for generations to come.
That law is going to help myself and siblings when my parents take the eternal nap. Fuck the LA Times and fuck Slate.
It’s almost like the solution writes itself.
CA is only extracting $60 billion a year in property taxes out of its residents?! THIS DESPICABLE INJUSTICE CANNOT STAND!!
/proglodyte
As many as 100% of the people who read that article will believe that statistic to mean 63% of inherited homes were used as rental properties.
Nobody needs more than one residence.
Thinking the way these derps would – I assume that a hefty chunk of those “2nd residences” were counted as such if the heirs took more than a week to move from current residence into their parent’s place. Hell, maybe any overlap was enough.
Fuck you, cut spending.
I need to repost CP’s post from the last thread. It’s just too delicious.

That is really sad.
But the ensuing history lesson is epic.
It is but they left out the concept of self-ownership and private property rights. And then there is that little matter of outlawing and ending slavery, something that continues to this day in much of Africa and Asia.
As far as I know, the San never had anything to do with slavery. And their notion of property was whatever most benefited their continuation through the survival of their children.
Mostly sad because she isnt african or asian. I assume she was born and raised right here in America, a native American just like me. Her heritage is western European/ Enlightenment no matter how much she wishes otherwise.
“Thank God my grandaddy was on that boat” – Muhammed Ali on being asked what he thought of Africa after his pilgrimage to Mecca.
Someone has screwed that girl’s head up.
Welcome to the age of Post Modernism.
And if you look at Antifa and all those fighting against “white supremacy”, the majority of them are white and college “educated”.
Indeed. I believe that Ali said that though after he returned from his fight with Foreman in Zaire.
Oversimplified history: Asians invented a large number of things. Bantu never invented shit.
In fact, I’d argue the San, while technologically primitive, were culturally more advanced the Bantu in that they were much more peaceful, self-sufficient, and resistant to adversity.
One of the best cooks I have known was a black fellow in Natchitoches, La. His cuisine was a work of art. Best Duck l’orange ever, hands down and a plum sauce that would bring tears to your eyes.
English speaking black guy cooking french and cajun food. Born and raised right here in ‘merica, my American countryman.
I dont know of any African restaurants in Louisiana.
This poor girl has a cartoon in her head.
Not to be overly pedantic. I would say he was cooking Creole, not Cajun food. Acadians are white folk.
Although, there are African restaurants. I ate at a very good one in NYC. My date was Filipina.
Ethiopian food is great.
I grew up being told they didn’t have food in Ethiopia.
My soon-to-be-beaten smart ass always told them, “Send them *this*!”
Doro Wat FTW.
He was cooking classic French. He was a trained chef. Classic french in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in a awful little house converted to a restaurant in a bad part of town.
It was fantastic. Unfortunately he passed away sometime in the mid-nineties.
Natchitoches has a lot of Creoles but this guy was not a local. He was from New Orleans.
I blame public school.
Tales of Swiss Neutrality
Bloke on the Range on Swiss neutrality and factors into it.
Crap. Cartoon Network changed their Saturday nigh scheduling. No more Rick & Morty. And they moved My Hero Academia.
So, I just came here after spending a little time on TOS. Holy batshit, the comments! I had to run back here to my safe space. So, from what I can gather, Hihn got banned. WTF does it even take to get banned over there? I can’t remember anyone getting banned. So now, it seems like Hihn is just trashing the place with multiple socks. The only thing interesting I have to report is that I did laugh when some of the posters were saying they’ve turned Shikha into ICE.
I couldn’t make it past whoever the asshole is that’s currently operating Tulpa.
I didn’t even stick around long enough to spot Tulpa, Hihn is off his meds again, big time.
I was looking at this morning’s thread. Hihn usually operates after midnight IIRC?
The one of them, apparently Hihn sock, it almost has to be him, no one else is that insane.
Hihns that crazy medicated? At least he makes me look kinda normal.
John?
No, John has a very identifiable style. And he isn’t an asshole just for the sake of being an asshole. Usually.
What’s wrong with you Rhywun? I used to think you were one of the smart ones posting here. I bet you’re into body armor and skinny chicks.
/john
OK he does go off out of nowhere sometimes, you fucking half-wit.
So, Trulmpa?
For the first time, I jumped in the comment section of The Hill. As bad TOS has become, The Hill is ten times worse. I’ll never make that mistake again. The people supposedly coming to your defense are worse than the people attacking you. God bless, Glibs. If we have to be conscious of the fact that this place can become echo chambery, that’s a small price to pay to avoid the utter shit show public comment sections have become.
The Hill has a bunch of leftist trolls. I think mostly the same ones who show up at WaPo.
Hihn has been mucking up the threading with his ghost comments for a while now.
It’s really too bad what happened over there. I do believe that our gamboling Injun was also banned. It takes quite a lot.
I got whacked twice. “Ooops, sorry.” Once I would’ve understood. Twice seemed a little fishy.
You did?! What were the comments about?
Guess my account looked like spam to their filter.
It is. That’s why I don’t go there much and don’t stay long. What has happened to the commentariat is just too depressing.
It’s not half-bad on weekdays and if you use a plugin to block the dozen or so worst trolls.
BULLY!
An older presentation by Jonathan Haidt, but a good one. Care (empathy) vs Fairness and liberty.
Finally someone makes money off Tesla besides Musk.
I can’t believe I’m starting to feel sorry for the fuckhead.
SP,
My daughter and her pals, all cool, accomplished chicks, are out on the patio having laughs, food and a bonfire.
There is pineapple pizza.
I had nothing to do with it, and neither did Spawn 2.
Just sayin’.
Do tell. I just got got a new book in the mail, looking to test it.
Lol. None of them are trashy though…
Are they wearing athletic shorts?
Are you sure you want to know?
Not if their acting is as bad as the girls in that video, I have standards.
Huh reminds me of early today when a young coed in a short frilly sun dress crossed the street in front of me. Did I mention it was windy?
Sun dresses are where it’s at.
This. Possibly better than yoga pants.
The perv in me says yoga pants. The gentleman in me says sun dress.
There’s a war inside my head.
You’re really lighting the CPRM signal.
Beat you to it.
Like I said.
SMDH
You and your innuendos.
Dear Penthouse,
I never thought this would happen to me.
Uh-huh. Sure. Whatever you say, Tundra.
*rolling eyes*
So I shouldn’t save you a slice? 🙂
Gee, thanks, but I already ate dinner. Fabulous homemade pizza the way God intended it to be.
What do you do for the crust?
We make a thin, yet chewy center, crust.
We go back and forth a bit on recipe. OMWC made it tonight since I had already made bread. I’m sure he’ll pop in and talk about it tomorrow.
I often use Peter Reinhart’s Neo Neopolitan Dough recipe from his “American Pie” book. We also have a very slack dough we sometimes use, that is really more by feel.
We like “00” tipo fino flour.
Just finished my wine. Off to bed to read. See you tomorrow!
About a month ago I accepted a position with a charter school, K through 8. It’s been interesting. Also bank account draining since it pays once a month and it hasn’t been a month yet. The pay is not as good as I could get in the private sector but the Benny’s are good. Also, gives me a chance to interact with little ones. I have been teaching random kindergarten and first graders this classic:
When you’re kissing on your honey
And your nose is kinda runny
You may think it’s funny
But it’s snot
I’ve been told Charter schools are the free market raping children for profit, you monster!

People of the Sky
The wife and I (mostly the missus) have planted 25 trees in our yard so far this weekend; 22 different species. We have 4 more to go tomorrow. I was quite proud of this until I realized I have to mow around the fucking things. Not to mention I’ll be elderly (or dead) before the majority of them are really getting into their own.
Yeah, my sister planted an apple tree in my yard like 15 years ago, it’s still only 5 feet tall, can’t mow under it.
That’s why I don’t buy anything under 12’ tall.
We’d rather go for quantity/variety than $ize.
But I definitely understand the appeal. Believe me I do.
That’s gotta be hard when looking for women
I’ve personally planted about 4000 trees at this point. On my old hilltop property off a dirt track in extremely rural NY, I planted 2000 in a week. The NYS DEC has (or had at the time) a program wherein a landowner could acquire seedling trees for ridiculously low prices. I think the total was $286. Granted, the trees were between 1-3 feet tall.
I did a four row “wind break” (read “privacy and wind screen”) around 3 sides of 5 acres (one side was against a state forest): aspen on the outermost ring; two rows of Norway spruce offset; a final offset row of aspen in the innermost ring. Idea being, of course, that the aspen would grow really fast and provide more screening, and the spruce would fill in by the time some of the aspen needed to be taken down. Added a 6-foot-tall 2″x4″ wire mesh fence (with 4″x4″ posts – that was a bitch in clay) halfway between the outermost row of aspens and the first row of spruce. Had a dirt driveway at an angle off the “road” in the middle of the gently sloping property, curving up with the house on the downside below a bend. Added a gate 15 feet in from the road, and aspen along both sides of the top of the drive.
Worked brilliantly. I was past that property a year or two ago and you can’t tell there is a house in there. Looks like a forest.
I also scored some fantastic red oak saplings from the same program a year later.
I just didn’t bother mowing close to the trees. I mowed between the rows and sort of in-between of the short intervals between the trees in each row, but didn’t really worry about it much.
There was a 100 year old apple orchard on that land that I started tending and adding trees to. It produced so many apples, my sibs would all bring their pickups over and we’d have the kids climb up into the trees and shake the apples down into the truck beds and take the apples off to the cider mill. A great day each autumn. One of my brothers made some kickass hard cider every year.
Also didn’t really mow the orchard completely, but would mow meandering 4 foot wide paths through the orchard and clear circles around the trees. I put a stand-alone wooden swing under a really old tree down in the middle of the orchard. Sitting there with a book on a summer day was like being the only person on the planet.
*sigh* I miss that property.
so some Congress critter is going to put an amendment up to block the revocation of security clearances…WTF.
I swear either top men have lost their minds or indicative of the populace they serve.
et.Brennan et. al are no longer officers of the United States.
Other than military plans, I wonder where this idea of Top Secret information even came from in this country.
I get state secrets, our military movements, projects, etc. Other than that, it has no place in a free and open society.
The notion that a removed official, no matter how high in chain can retain security clearance (Not just the grace period) is beyond me.
It keeps getting repeated but security clearances are no access in themselves.
1) who is passing classified info to these people, and what is the purported justification for passing info to some one who doesn’t requiere it? That the receiver has a clearance is not enough.
2) what position are they holding that grants them a security clearance? When you leave a cleared position and you don’t transition to a new one, your clearance is supposed to be automatically administratively suspended.
2b) what organization is sponsoring these people’s clearance?
Agree to all that and that’s why I think the handwringing is funny. Sure it was a political move but one that the government holds in its right to remove.
The other kicker is hearing it is silencing the presidents foes…sure…okay
A friend recommended this ditty to me the other day. It’s truly a love song for our modern times. I hope you enjoy it.
De gustibus non est disputandum.
That being said, that’s shit.
We laugh, but the sad thing is there are people out there that are all “Aw yeah, girl! You know what it is! Why my man always out at da club wit dem hos while I’m here wit his kid and my kids!? He’s a dog, but damn his friend is fine, he about to be my new baby daddy!”
Poetry.

Get her eyes swolled up.
Got a loan offer in the mail. $1800 at a mere 44% interest!
I’d hold out for 38%
Your FICO score just topped 600, amirite?
You are like the worst bot evar.
But was it for a Black card? Cause that means it’s exclusive! Jump at that!
A while back there was this commercial I’d see late nights. It was some bank located on an indian reservation in the southwest, IIRC. They were offering loans to help get out of debt. Anyway, at the end they had a paragraph of small print at the bottom of the screen for like 2 seconds. I paused the DVR once to read it. I can’t remember the exact interest rate, but I remember it was over 100%.
In their defense, the spokesman did say something along the lines of “this loan isn’t for everyone, but if you have no other option, we are here for you.”
At least the loan sharks are up front.
Yeah, but Morrie didn’t agree to three points above the vig.
Great avatar. Where have you been?
I left [drink] before it was cool.
That, and working after hours tends to mean that posting comments is practically necrophilia. Fortunately, I am back to a livable shift.
Welcome back!
And, You ARE the Father!
It may have been a tribe out of the north west, not south. Years ago I took out a short term loan from an online bank that turned out to be a tribe in that area. I’m not being coy; I simply can’t remember who they are or where. Nor do I have any knowledge of how their sovereign status jives with federal loan laws, but the rate seemed equal to the rate being offered at other short term places.
Yeah, it could have been. I wish I could remember the name. Maybe google can help…
OK. Wow. Apparently the short term loan market is very popular on reservations. I assume because they get to avoid a bunch of shitty FedGov banking laws?
They have sovereign immunity, often in states where payday lending is illegal.

Still funny.
Watched it last week. Pretty funny. Still b
