ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR
WITH CERTAIN INALIENABLE RIGHTS
Minuteman
I'm always amazed that people think that repealing the second amendment repeals the right to keep and bear arms.

The amendments in the Bill of Rights are *guarantees *, not *grants.* Repealing those amendments does no more than de-legitimize the the government that has the temerity to do so.

Shocking Pfizer Study Data Reveals 82% of Jabbed Pregnant Women Had Miscarriages, So They Stopped Counting
JD Rucker, May 28, 2022

When the data is so bad that it betrays the desired narrative, honest companies will adjust to the numbers. Dishonest companies like Pfizer will simply manipulate the numbers to match the goal.

Joe Biden Again Falsely Claims Trump Supporters Killed Police Officers on January 6
Charlie Spiering, Breitbart, May 28, 2022

The president spoke about the January 6th protests during his commencement speech at the University of Delaware.

He said:

A mob of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, the very citadel of democracy. Imagine what you’d be thinking today if you had heard this morning before you got here that a group of a thousand people broke down the doors of the parliament of Great Britain, killed two police officers, smashed and ransacked the office of members of the British Parliament or any other, what would you think? What would you think?


Nancy Pelosi has to be be wondering WTF her husband was doing drunk in Napa at midnight. Need more popcorn.
The man is 82 years old, drunk after midnight and has money and cruising Napa Valley.

I know what he was doing.

From the A♠ Food Thread 🍔
Best burgers:

Get some ground chuck, 80/20, that is NOT SMUSHED TOGETHER. I have found non-smushed ground chuck at a Kroger-affiliated meat counter and also at Braum's.

Delicately separate the strands and form patties by criss-crossing the strands and pressing just enough to keep them from falling apart. Make the perimeter a bit thicker than the middle.

Plop the patties over a hot fire on the grill and salt and pepper the tops. As soon as the bottoms brown, turn the patties, salt and pepper them, and top with Monterrey Jack or Muenster cheese. The cheese will melt in the time it takes to finish cooking the other side.

I can't tell you what is the best thing to do next because at this point, Grillmaster Bassman and I devour a couple of patties each, sometimes with ketchup, mustard, or A-1 and a side of grilled veggies.

Crispy burger in a pan, or The Fire Alarm Burger

Iron Skillet, max heat. Let it get super hot. Solid, stiff metal spatula. Bigger is better.

A small handful of 85/15 ground beef. Don't pat it out, just drop it in the hot pan, and Hulk Smash. Really, smash it flat, flat, super flat.

Cover until it starts to cook all the way through to the top.
Flip it. Add cheese. Quickly. (I usually melt the cheese on these in the microwave).

Delicious and very thin and crispy hamburger. My favorite.
