One of the stories about Venezuela that is darkly comic, out in the last couple of weeks, is that now thousands of oilfield workers, including almost all at the professional level, are fleeing the country with little more than the clothes on their backs. Reason? Maduro's answer to dropping oil production and problems in that sector was to arrest a lot of the people running it, and to place a General in charge who knew absolutely nothing about the oil industry. The General's answer to failing equipment and declining production was to bring his goon squads and threaten to shoot anyone who didn't make production go back up again. Surprise, surprise, everyone who has even the slightest bit of expertise is running away as fast as they can.

To run some of the refineries that don't have enough workers anymore, the General has sent in 20 year old illiterates with guns, and the only solution they know to something going wrong is to either yell at it or shoot it. Yep, that's a good way to stop that refinery from exploding.

OT from the blog of Jordan Peterseon's daughter Mikhaela:

For those of you who don't know, Dad and I had extremely severe depression/anxiety. We managed to get most of it under control with the extremely strict original diet. No cheating. AT ALL. I would say it worked better for me than for dad mood-wise. It fixed his autoimmune symptoms, he lost 50 pounds, got rid of his snoring and GERD, so it helped, but it wasn't good enough to completely remove the anxiety-ridden mornings. And anxiety-ridden is putting it mildly. He was experiencing a doom-y feeling in the mornings that would slowly fade by the evenings. No way to live really.)

Anyway, he went from eating meat and greens to only eating meat and felt better in TWO days. TWO. DAYS.

International Incidents

I think this strike has to be seen in the bigger picture of what Trump is trying to do in the region. He is trying to reorder the structure that Obama put into place.…

Many of our bombers took off last night from bases in Qatar and flew through Saudi air space to hit Syria. That was a big message to Russia and Iran as well as to our allies. When Trump went to Saudi early in his administration he told them clearly that it was up to them to drive terrorism and bad actors out of the region. We would have their back and provide strategic support but they had to finally get into the game and take the lead. He said it again last night after the attack.

Like it or not the Middle East is a very strategic region and we can't cede it to Russia and Iran which is exactly what Obama did for 8 years.

The storm hit the Oklahoma Panhandle and Northwestern Oklahoma first, and moved south for the remainder of the day. It hit Beaver around 4:00 p.m., Boise City around 5:15 p.m., and Amarillo, Texas, at 7:20 p.m. The conditions were the most severe in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles, but the storm's effects were felt in other surrounding areas.

The storm was harsh due to the high winds that hit the area that day. The combination of drought, erosion, bare soil, and winds caused the dust to fly freely and at high speeds.…

…On this day in 1792 President George Washington exercised his authority to veto a bill. This was the first time this power was used in the United States. The Articles of Confederation had no power of 'the Veto'. The bill he vetoed was a new apportionment of taxes which Washington thought gave unfair advantage to the Northern States and did not meet the requirement in the new Constitution of apportionment by the number of citizens per the census.

…It wasn't about the facts in the case - it was about the fact that the 9th Circuit ruled that the Officer should have known Judicial Precedent was against him, because of a decision that they handed down some months AFTER the shooting. Seriously, that was the 9th Circuit's reasoning.

The Supreme Court, in a surprising 7-2 margin, took this rather insignificant case about a lawsuit just for the chance to once again publicly slap down the 9th Circuit and tell them they are all ignoramuses who wouldn't know a legal precedent if it jumped up on the table and danced and sang a little song saying "I am a Legal Precedent!"

…On this day in 1859 Bryant's Minstrels debuted the song "Dixie" in New York City in the finale of a blackface minstrel show. Somehow it has become known as a 'hate song' now. And if anyone had the audacity to try a blackface minstrel show in NYC now they would be run out of town.
