  1. I'll always remember learning about Juneteenth as a non-Texan. I was 13 years old in the mid-90's, and visiting my Aunt and Uncle near Giddings, and we got brisket out of a shed that a guy my uncle worked with had made to celebrate it. It was the first brisket I had as that particular piece of barbecue culture had not made it north to the beef state yet in significant amounts. The experience left quite an impression on me.
  2. An adopted teenage boy that he never mentioned before today as well.
  3. Just so I'm clear, Gaetz is definitively fucking his page, right?
  4. Besides the fact that they were obvious racist caricatures, how many people even registered what the selling points of those stereotypes are for the non-old demographic?
  5. Say what you want about the flag, but the Dukes were right about cops.
  6. My experience has been that those types only know who to scream pro-life as shibboleth to avoid grappling with anything outside the cult they've adhered themselves too.
  7. Livestock continues to calm down. Packers are at 98% on cattle, and 93% on hogs now. Fresh pork and beef are back into normal ranges, biggest residual issue currently is processed meats are tighter because of the production hole last month.
  8. I saw a lifted early 2000’s Chevy 2500 with farm plates and justice for George Floyd soaped on to the back window the other day. I was pleasantly surprised
  9. In general, James Ellroy nails the fucked upness of American law enforcement better than anybody if we are going by the source material
  10. I'll note that gasoline demand has pretty well plateaued for now at about 72% of normal, and American was celebrating that they had they best day in months at 20% of a year ago.
  11. Even now, the brazenness of some of the lies still shocks the hell out of me.
  12. It’s from the baseball team named after the American Royal, but I’ve been to the American Royal a time or two.
  13. On the livestock front, fresh beef prices continue to slide, and now are only about 30% ahead of normal, while packers are about back to 97% of normal capacity. Fresh pork is back to near normal seasonally, with about 93% capacity running now. I had one of my pork clients tell me he is finally shipping iso weans that were backed up three weeks, and that he wouldn't need to put any future hogs down.
  14. Good thing Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier wasn't political at all, or Jack Johnson becoming heavyweight champion of the world, then being hounded for it. If you want to bring up the Olympics, what do you the motives of Baron de Courbertin were with the attempts to restart the games? You don't think politics played a major part in that?
  15. Tell me why exactly politics and sports don't mix, when they've been mixing as long as both have existed.
  16. I'm glad he could bounce back to being a civility scold so quickly after embarrassing himself with a high school graduation speech a couple weeks ago.
  17. On the livestock front, select boxed beef broke below 300 for the first time since Mid-April, and is on pace to be at normal values by the end of next week as well. Fresh pork is now below the initial surge as well, even with a slow start to the week on packing numbers.
  18. So apparently the Omaha police and protesters stuck a deal to disperse at curfew time, so we will find out shortly if it sticks. The bar owner/shooter has had his lease terminated and is being evicted. Also as a side note the Omaha World Herald report on site has been doing a great job with pictures and video coverage, and in normal times he’s the high school sports/recruiting guy for the paper.
  19. Generally speaking riot shotgun are Mossberg pump actions. I've got riot rounds for mine, and they're pretty easy to get.
  20. Remember in all of that, it was still the black guy that got shot by law enforcement.
  21. If it jumps off at 72nd and Dodge, I hope they move away from the Children's Hospital.
  22. It sounds like they've more or less ordered an evacuation of downtown Omaha ahead of the press conference on the non-charges at 1:30. It seems to me if you have to evacuate everyone before your press conference, you know you are about to fuck up big time.
  23. Don't think they'll wait until tonight if that's the case.
  24. Just think about how many people our dumbshit war on drugs/use of traffic infractions to provide local revenue drag into the system for no good fucking reason.
  25. I tried, but I'm not sure if I was effective at all.
