It has a great price point... I'm in deep with coffee.. doing individual pour overs now (chemeXmas gift). It's all over for me...
Coffee tales, or coffee tails as the situation warrants... When I worked in the 'Bu, trading commodities, my then-employer-honcho-billionaire-big-boss used to do iced coffee enemas to cleanse his colon & supercharge his energy levels. Then he'd make the Mexican housekeeping staff clean the shpeckle off the shower walls, sometimes it was 4' high on the tiles. The Mex guys would be telling me this stuff, and more, whilst we shot hoops in the driveway of the palacio. 27622 PCH SoCal.....nutso de facto land of fruits & nuts....
These socialists insist they don’t support repressive states like the Soviet Union or North Korea. But Sanders and the rest refuse to say a critical word about Venezuela, which is on the brink of social and economic collapse due to socialism. Instead, they point to Scandinavian-style socialism in nations like Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden as “true socialism.” One problem: Those countries aren’t socialist. As Danish Prime Minister Lars-Lokke Rasmussen has said: “Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.” These “socialist” states have no mandated minimum wage or guaranteed jobs. Taxes are higher than US rates, but largely by making the middle and working classes pay big via the Value Added Tax — which hits consumption, not income or wealth. True socialism, in fact, is reflected in Venezuela, Cuba and the Soviet Union. All are or were economic disasters and brutally repressive states. Young people might be forgiven for their ignorance. Their elders should be leading — not meekly parroting them in fear. NYP
Democrats and liberals have been suffering serious Justin-envy. Justin Trudeau, that is, Canada’s young prime minister: progressive, pro-globalist and “woke,” he’s everything President Trump is not. So imagine the precious irony if Trudeau is forced from office for illegal political pressure and interference. That’s the week’s big news up north: Former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould testified that Trudeau and top aides tried to pressure her into stopping the prosecution of a large engineering company. Montreal-based SNC-Lavalin is accused of paying the late Libyan strongman Muammar Khadafy’s family $48 million in bribes between 2001 and 2011 to secure contracts. The firm had been pressing for an agreement in which it would pay a fine rather than be prosecuted. But the AG’s office decided to move ahead and Wilson-Rayboud backed it up. That’s when Trudeau and his team made “consistent and sustained” efforts, including “veiled threats,” to change her mind, she told Parliament. This, even after she warned them they were crossing the line.
Darnell Byrd McPherson, the mayor of Lamar, South Carolina, believed she was victimized by a racist hate crime earlier this month when she found her and her husband's cars covered in a “yellow, sticky substance.” However, local authorities and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) have since confirmed that there was no crime committed, determining the “yellow, sticky substance” to be pollen. Nonetheless, McPherson feels she was victimized for the color of her skin. Perhaps by flowers and bees. “My husband went out to the car to get some things out of the garage,” the volunteer mayor recalled to Newsweek. “He says, ‘Somebody’s painted your car!’” “They started rubbing it,” McPherson continued, “and it was this yellow, sticky substance. So it was like, What is this? … It looked like little pebbles.” To McPherson, this was a clear hate crime due to the history of the town: “I likened it as a hate crime because No. 1, there’s a history in our town of Lamar,” she said. “It ignited some fear in my spirit. My God, who would do that?” she asked, adding: “It was something; it was just unnerving to me.” As noted by Newsweek, McPherson clarified “that there were no words or symbols drawn on the cars. The cars were parked in the street near the end of the couple's driveway, a block and a half from Lamar’s downtown.”
Timpf ruthlessly mocked the New York socialist for recently branding herself as "the boss" for merely coming up with the flawed plan, which would reportedly cost some $650,000 per U.S. household to finance. “I just think AOC has just completely lost her marbles. I think she’s living in banana land. Earlier this week, she called herself ‘the boss’ for coming up with the Green New Deal,” started in Timpf. “How are you the boss for coming up with a plan that doesn’t work? Are you sure that the Green New Deal is not what you’re putting in your pipe and smoking everyday?” “I don’t understand. I can come up with plenty of plans that don’t work,” offered Timpf. “How about we fly around on unicorns instead of airplanes? How about instead of gasoline we use fairy dust we get from Tinker Bell? How about we get Harry Potter to come over and wizard-away all the emissions from the cow farts she’s so worried about?” “See, I just came up with three plans that don’t work. Does that make me the triple boss?” she mockingly asked. Timpf went on to tell host Greg Gutfeld that she’s uninterested in living like Laura Ingalls Wilder's “Little House” and will not “eat like some little f***ing bunny.” Earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez dismissed criticisms of her Green New Deal because at least she is “trying” and that makes her “the boss.” Daily Wire
On Saturday, a CNN national security analyst and senior adviser at the Biden Institute said that part of Trump’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) made her feel “sick,” as though she were listening to something Hitler had said. Samantha Vinograd, who is listed as a senior adviser at the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware (named after former Vice President Joe Biden), took to CNN to claim that Trump’s “heritage” line was insulting. “His statement makes me sick, on a personal level, preserving your heritage, reclaiming our heritage, that sounds a lot like a certain leader that killed members of my family and about six million other Jews in the 1940s,” Vinograd said. Vinograd’s father is a Holocaust survivor. But if “reclaiming our … heritage” is problematic and reminiscent of Hitler, then Vinograd should also be upset with someone else: Joe Biden. In 2011, while speaking at the Florida Democratic Party Convention, Biden said, “It’s time to fight back. It’s time to reclaim our heritage!” The former vice president made these remarks while stumping for then-President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.
