1. PORK, Politico founding editor John F. Harris doesn’t get it. In fact, he is glaringly wrong.
2. Get what, BARREL? How is he wrong?
3. PORK, John Harris is like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Joe Biden, and many other democrats and some republicans and many of the media owners and pundits who likewise don’t get it.
4. How so, BARREL?
5. John argues that Coronavirus COVID-19 marks the “end of Trumpism” and in doing so, John demonstrates his lack of understanding of human nature.
6. Contrary to John’s myopic smoke and mirrors analysis, Trumpism is not the idea of promoting and protecting American sovereignty and singularity exclusively.
7. Trumpism is not about sealing our borders and isolationism.
8. Trumpism is not about disassociating America from the interconnected global economy but rather doing deals that make sense for America.
9. Trumpism is not about beating up on China or Russia but rather doing deals that make sense for America.
10. Trumpism is not about boasting and bluster, or about triumphalism, or about projecting certitude at all costs, but rather it is against fighting back against fake news and fake politicians and fake business deals and fake bureaucrats and fake laws.
11. Trumpism is not about creating reality by proclamation but rather being positive and faith filled instead of tearing down the nation.
12. Trumpism is not about failing to acknowledge imprecision but rather dealing with imprecision by using the best expertise available.
13. Trumpism is not about mockery and castigation of opponents which fails to unite the nation but rather Trumpism is mockery and castigation of opponents who don’t get it – opponents who think it not a criminal felony to bleach bit their emails, hammer their blackberries, lie about and blame Benghazi on a video, take multi-millions in bribes and payoffs from countries and individuals into a personal foundation in return for influence, take up precious government house and senate time with garbage investigations and impeachment hearings, use political office to get a billion from China or launder a billion thru Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, or enrich multi-family members and cronies.
15. OK, BARREL, you have told me what Trumpism is not. You have told me that John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get it. What is it?
16. Trumpism is about helping us Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS while not selling out one’s integrity and dishonoring one’s office.
17. That is why Coronavirus COVID-19 has no bearing whatsoever on Trumpism.
18. That is why POTUS TRUMP will be re-elected.
19. That is why POTUS TRUMP will go down in history as one of the great presidents of all time.
20. Why? Because his focus has not been on enriching himself. Because his focus has been on keeping his more than 300 promises to help us and our children and our unborn be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
21. That is why POTUS TRUMP’s real approval rating is 80% to 95%.
22. We told Chuck and Nancy long ago the secret to winning elections but they wouldn’t listen and so they squandered their opportunity by wasting years of our time and millions of our money. And that secret we told them is simply to pull all stops and focus and work together across the aisle to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as opposed to spending $30 – $100 million plus in wasteful, foolish impeachment hearings and special counsel investigations.
23. What John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get is the fact that we care for POTUS TRUMP because he is helping us more often than not forgotten Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, because he is working as well to help others outside America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
24. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is why we care deeply for him and support him with money and votes.
25. Should POTUS TRUMP turn on us and stop helping us and others be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we would move away from him in a heartbeat. That, my friend PORK, is how the cow eats the cabbage.
26. And last but not least, as is the case of a natural disaster, there is no way we blame him for Coronavirus COVID-19 or the stock market drop.
27. Trumpism has become synonymous with POTUS TRUMP’S indefatigable efforts to help us be Constitutionally FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS first and with POTUS TRUMP’S helping other people and nations be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as well.
28. That is why his rallies are filled to overflowing. That is why he will be re-elected.
29. You are preaching to the choir, BARREL. You are preaching to the choir.
1. PORK, Politico founding editor John F. Harris doesn’t get it. In fact, he is glaringly wrong.

28. That is why his rallies are filled to overflowing. That is why he will be re-elected.
29. You are preaching to the choir, BARREL. You are preaching to the choir.
PORK, I understand there are an overwhelming number of angry PRO-TRUMP democrat and republican and independent voters out there.
Yes, BARREL. those angry PRO-TRUMP voters, republicans and democrats and independents, know that POTUS TRUMP and his family have been abused to an intolerable level by the democrats – Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer and others including some republicans.
In greater detail, BARREL,
1. Angry voters find Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi and their impeachment activities at best Boring.
2. Angry voters find them Repetitive and Tedious.
3. Angry voters find – Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi – to be amateurs — anything but professional.
4. Angry voters are overwhelmingly tired of this one-sided democrat partisan hit job on POTUS TRUMP and his family.
5. Angry voters hold the democrats accountable for spending $40 million plus for worthless investigations and hearings and for wasting the money, time, and energy of the congress and the voters – which money, time, and energy could have been used to improve the infrastructure and build the southern border wall and carry out other measures helpful to our FREEDOM, SAFETY, and PROSPERITY.
6. Angry voters want to be happy and they know the democrats are responsible for making them and the country unhappy.
7. Angry voters know life is going on tomorrow.
8. Angry voters know the sun is going to come up.
9. Angry voters know they are going to take care of what’s important in their lives.
10. Angry voters knew the impeachment outcome was not in doubt but these thoughts provided little consolation.
11. Angry voters know the GOP controls the Senate.
12. Angry voters know the story was already written.
13. Angry voters have their minds made up and an overwhelming majority are for POTUS TRUMP contrary to the effete democrat narrative. Given the media coverage of POTUS TRUMP, his approval rating is 80-95% not 46% as polls suggest.
14. Angry voters know there is no possibility of removal.
15. Angry voters know the democrats have wasted their time and millions of dollars and have trashed the good feelings in the country and at the same time have done nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS TRUMP was elected and that the fix was in to impeach him from before his inauguration.
16. Angry voters know the democrats have squandered $40 million plus of the nation’s money in these foolish investigations and hearings.
17. Angry voters know the DNC should pay back the country far in excess of $40 million for their impeachment perfidy which has been wrongfully and illegally foisted off on the American people. Keep in mind the videos of Chuck Schumer and Jerry Nadler and other cronies taking just the other tack when the shoe was on the other foot.
18. Angry voters know the democrats have no facts against POTUS TRUMP and that the republican factual arguments have blown the Schiff Nadler democrat emotional arguments out of the water.
19. Angry voters knew the trial would end in acquittal.
20. Angry voters knew that the democrats conducted an illegal partisan impeachment.
21. Angry voters fell asleep during the democrat Schiff Nadler droning arguments and they knew full well that there was no need for added witnesses to prolong the partisan charade.
22. Angry voters know that it is a blatant lie that Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi competently and legally conducted themselves during House impeachment hearings or the Senate trial. They know that Schiff Nadler Pelosi Schumer have done nothing for their constituencies or the nation in general to help them be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS was elected.
23. Angry voters know the media is skewed dramatically against POTUS Trump.
24. Angry voters know Joe Biden and his son and family are corrupt and that Joe and his family wrongfully and illegally took vast sums of money and that Joe failed miserably in his duties as Vice President and cannot show at all during his years as a professional politician where he helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
25. Angry voters know Joe Biden was complicit in all of the ill done by POTUS OBAMA and that “the Obama administration” is a euphemism and that POTUS Obama and Joe were responsible for all the negative produced during the Obama years.
27. Angry voters yelled at Adam Schiff (D-CA), telling him to “move to Venezuela.”
28. Angry voters know Adam Schiff is a liar having lied repeatedly – making up lies about POTUS Trump – lying to the Congress and the American people.
29. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not abuse his power and was well within his rights to ask for an investigation of the corrupt Bidens and the many other politicians who have had their hands in the Ukrainian and China and other foreign and domestic tills stealing money for their personal and their campaign use. Angry voters know that the Sweizer book Profiles in Corruption and Rudy Giuliani disclosures about Biden and other corruption are but the tip of the iceberg.
30. Angry voters are highly incensed that those in high places who have enriched themselves at the expense of the voters have not been indicted and shamed and where law was violated jailed for their perfidy. Angry voters are still waiting for AG BILL BARR to stand up and be counted and indict those who have enriched themselves wrongfully at the nation’s expense.
31. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not withhold aid from Ukraine unless the investigation of the Bidens and others took place.
32. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not obstruct Congress by blocking documents and witnesses unlawfully. They know the minority was denied due process including the legal right to litigate differences of opinion; while at the same time the democrat majority rushed to impeach before Christmas.
33. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been denied due process by Schiff Nadler Pelosi throughout the House impeachment activities.
35. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor and that Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have fallen abjectly short of the standard needed to convict POTUS TRUMP let alone remove POTUS TRUMP from office.
36. Angry voters know that the republican minority has the facts while all Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have is conjecture, generalities, suppositions, thus no impeachable offenses.
37. Angry voters know there has not been a constitutionally authorized bi-partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.
38. Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has done nothing of a criminal nature.
39. Angry voters know the democrats cannot prove abuse of power.
40. Angry voters know the democrats cannot prove obstruction of congress no matter how over the top maudlin Adam Schiff is during his arguments.
41. Angry voters know the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are precisely the arguments the framers of the Constitution rejected because partisan impeachments let the majority exercise tyranny over the minority.
43. Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has shown restraint, deliberateness, and ability to make tough decisions and that POTUS TRUMP has saved the world millions of deaths in the matters of North Korea and Iran and otherwise, while at the same time, despite the coronavirus, giving the nation the best economy and stock market and more jobs for BLACKS, HISPANICS, ASIANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, and WHITES than in the history of our country.
44. Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP made the right call to kill Iranian Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani and that POTUS TRUMP’S decisive approach prevented a major war with Iran.
45. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP consults with his cabinet, asks for intelligence, takes the opinion of his leadership, takes a calculated and measured response.
46. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is methodical and calm and asks lots of questions and gets updates before he jumps to conclusions.
47. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is properly advised and that there is a process to present POTUS TRUMP with options and the risks and ladder of escalation associated with each situation.
48. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is highly involved in the process when it comes to decisions that involve potential loss of American lives and even the loss of lives of adversaries.
49. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP likes differing points of view, wants debate, wants to understand the debate.
50. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP relies on intelligence and relied on intelligence that Soleimani was planning a major attack.
51. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has kept more than 300 campaign promises than any previous POTUS while the democrats have kept but one which was to impeach POTUS TRUMP.
52. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is not like Joe Biden at all. Joe has enriched himself and his family in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere, while making decisions contrary to the good of the country. POTUS TRUMP has done more to help America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than Joe and the democrats hoped of doing.
53. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP was not erratic in responding to Iran.
54. Angry voters know Soleimani was taken out because Iran conducted a series of provocative actions against the U.S. and its allies including 11 rocket attacks on installations in Iraq where U.S. forces were present, including attack on oil plants in Saudi Arabia that took out half of the oil output, including seizure of a United Kingdom ship, including attacks on Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers, and shooting down a U.S. drone.
55. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP chose economic sanctions and that POTUS TRUMP’s patience ran out after Iranian-backed forces targeted and killed an American contractor and wounded four American service members.
56. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been patient and that unlike Benghazi Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has consistently told the truth.
57. Angry voters know that when an Iranian Shia militia rocket attack killed the American contractor and wounded U.S. troops in Iraq, POTUS TRUMP was presented a list of options, and only then did POTUS TRUMP authorize airstrikes against Shia militia targets, including weapons storage facilities and command posts used to attack U.S. and coalition forces.
58. Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP said “Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!”
59. Angry voters know that criticism from the left which has been swift and loud was unfounded, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) criticism of POTUS TRUMP was “reckless,” and “impulsive,” with no planning or forethought, and that her response was in fact fiction.
60. Angry voters know that the democrats are politically motivated and that they do not care for us the voters and that the democrat criticisms of POTUS TRUMP are not true or patriotic, keeping in mind that the Iran counterattacks resulted in structural damage, but did not kill any Americans or Iraquis.
61. Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP called for Iran to return to the negotiating table regarding its illicit nuclear program.
62. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is a statesman while Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and Schumer are politically effete, having done nothing for their constituencies and nothing for the country, and that the four should be voted and drummed out of congress for their waste of $40 million dollars on the failed Mueller Report and failed impeachment hearings, including their many failed, unproven “collusion with the Russians” and “obstruction of justice” wild accusations against POTUS TRUMP.
63. Angry voters know former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Obama Adm. (Ret.) Sandy Winnefeld wrote in the Hill: “Whether one agrees with the elimination of General Qassem Soleimani as the correct means of signaling Iran, it was an important statement that a new red line is in effect. … Now Iran (and presumably other self-alienated states) have been served notice that they will be held more directly accountable for the actions of their proxies, particularly when those actions result in the death of an American.”
64. Angry voters know Obama National Security Adviser Marine Gen. (Ret.) Jim Jones said at a recent forum, “What the administration did in the Soeimani case is absolutely correct. I think it’s the right thing to do.”
65. Angry voters know Reuel Marc Gerecht, former C.I.A. specialist on Iran at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is right – “[POTUS TRUMP is] not a strategist. But his tactical game hasn’t been bad. The hit on Soleimani was genius – totally flummoxed his opponent,
66. Angry voters know that democrat and republican opponents who portray POTUS TRUMP as an erratic decision-maker do not know what they are talking about and that the evidence does not support that conclusion.
67. Angry voters know that for eight years POTUS Obama was paralyzed by fear of adverse consequences and therefore did nothing except give the Iranians access to billions of dollars plus a billion plus in cash which the Iranians used to foment terrorism and war.
68. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is more precise and disciplined that either POTUS OBAMA or POTUS George W. Bush hoped to be.
69. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP comes from a rough New York real estate business experience where setbacks, challenges, back stabbing, incomplete information, competition demands clear thinking and excellent decision making.
70. Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP goes to the experts to get information and then he makes the hard choice with a high degree of self-confidence and ANGRY VOTERS know that 4 more years of POTUS TRUMP will be of great benefit to the nation.
71. These same angry voters are going to turn out in the millions and vote for POTUS TRUMP for a second term.
1. BARREL, I watched a couple of videos online about Biological and Medical applications of plasma-activated water, liquid solutions, other substances, and air, and the errant thought crossed my non-medical mind about the value of plasma activated water, air, and other liquids in Coronavirus and Influenza virus and Cancer treatment and cure? So I looked at a few abstracts.
2. What did you find, PORK?
3. The following BARREL: “Abstract. Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma has been proposed as a new tool for various biological and medical applications.
4. “Plasma in close proximity to cell culture media or water creates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species containing solutions known as plasma-activated media (PAM) or plasma-activated water (PAW) – the latter even displays acidification.
5. “These plasma-treated solutions remain stable for several days with respect to the storage temperature.
6. “Recently, PAM and PAW have been widely studied for many biomedical applications.
7. “Here, we reviewed promising reports demonstrating plasma-liquid interaction chemistry and the application of PAM or PAW as
8. an anti-cancer,
9. anti-metastatic,
10. antimicrobial,
11. regenerative medicine
12. for blood coagulation
13. and even as a dental treatment agent.
14.”We also discuss the role of PAM
15. on cancer initiation cells (spheroids or cancer stem cells),
16. on the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT),
17. and when used for metastasis inhibition considering its anticancer effects.
18.”The roles of PAW in controlling plant disease,
19. seed decontamination,
20. seed germination
21. and plant growth
22. are also considered in this review.
23. “Finally, we emphasize the future prospects of PAM,
24. PAW or plasma-activated solutions in biomedical applications
41. PAW is easy to apply replacing the traditional sanitizing solutions.
42. Synergistic effect of acidification of water and reactive species is evident in PAW.
43. Nitrate of PAW absorbed through the roots act as plant growth enhancers.
44. Active species of PAW contribute to seed germination enhancement.
45. PAW has the ability to inhibit the hormones responsible for seed dormancy.
46. “Abstract
47. Background
48. Cold plasma is an emerging non-thermal disinfection and surface modification technology which is chemical free, and eco-friendly.
49. Plasma treatment of water, termed as plasma activated water (PAW), creates an acidic environment which results in changes of the redox potential, conductivity and in the formation of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS).
50. As a result, PAW has different chemical composition than water and can serve as an alternative method for microbial disinfection.
51. Scope and approach
52. This paper reviews the different plasma sources employed for PAW generation, its physico-chemical properties and potential areas of PAW applications.
53. More specifically, the physical and chemical properties of PAW are outlined in relation to the acidity, conductivity, redox potential, and concentration of ROS, RNS in the treated water.
54. All these effects are in microbial nature, so the applications of PAW for microbial disinfection are also summarized in this review.
55. Finally, the role of PAW in improving the agricultural practices, for example, promoting seed germination and plant growth, is also presented.
56. Key findings and conclusions
57. PAW appears to have a synergistic effect on the disinfection of food while it can also promote seedling growth of seeds.
58. The increase in the nitrate and nitrite ions in the PAW could be the main reason for the increase in plant growth.
59. Soaking seeds in PAW not only serves as an anti-bacterial but also enhances the seed germination and plant growth.
60. PAW could potentially be used to increase crop yield and to fight against the drought stress environmental conditions.
72. “Plasma activated water (PAW) is a versatile medium for both biomedical and agricultural applications.
73. “Currently under investigation and promising are its applications e.g plant disease control, plant nutrition, surface disinfection, surgical equipment sterilization, skin disinfection, wound treatment, dental bleaching and root disinfection, bladder infection and cancer treatment [1,2,3,4,5,6].
74. PAW active ingredients comprise transient reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS, combined abbreviation RONS).
3. POTUS Trump has had and continues to have 80 – 90% of all political media coverage [which equates to multi-millions if not billions of dollars in free advertising].
4. All other politicians or celebrities or parties are eclipsed.
5. POTUS TRUMP has always been on top despite the
impeachment nonsense.
6. He has always
been going in the right direction.
7. His actions show he has done
and he is doing all he can to help us be FREE, SAFE, AND
PROSPEROUS.
8. At the same time the do nothing dog in the manger
democrats Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff
and Jerry Nadler have done nothing to help us be
FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since
POTUS Trump was elected.
9. At one point back in September of 2017, there appeared to be a
“turning point” when
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi feigned working with
POTUS Trump regarding a natural disaster.
10. Such working together may have been true for a couple of
days, but the fact is
Chuck and Nancy haven’t continued to work with him as they
promised.
11. Their actions for the moment looked cooperative.
12. In hindsight, now that we all have suffered through their
impeachment debacle, it is clear to the whole world that their then
few days cooperation was grand standing and a sham.
13. And this applies to the other do nothing democrats.
14. So I withdraw any compliments for Chuck and Nancy.
15. The democrats continued
and still continue their do nothing Russia collusion
and Ukraine fault-finding and their impeach Trump narrative and
their “open “unvetted borders” and “abolish ice” narratives and
“late term abortion” narratives.
16. There is now no hope Chuck or Nancy will rise to the level of
statesman and stateswoman.
17. I quote Michael Goodwin of the New York Post who wrote back in
September 2017
18. “Yet beyond the professional activists, ideologues and consultants, much [I add 80%-90%] of America yearns for more government cooperation and less combat.
19. “Like children watching their parents fight, most voters [democrat or republican or independent] just want a productive peace, not an endless battle for total victory that yields nothing of common value.
20. “Above all, they want a government that works for them, not one fixated on partisan score keeping and ideological litmus tests.
21. My conclusion, and notwithstanding the left and mainstream
media meltdown over impeachment, and notwithstanding any
COVID-19 criticism of the democrats about POTUS TRUMP, the
POTUS Trump brand is still at 80% to 90% POSITIVE approval
not 48% or 46%.
22. POTUS Trump has delivered on more than 300 campaign
promises all designed to help us be FREE, SAFE, and
PROSPEROUS and POTUS Trump continues to deliver on his
campaign promises, one after another.
23. Addendum:
For a patriotic American, patriotism is to champion our Constitutional rights of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and the freedoms promised to ALL – BLACKS, HISPANICS, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, WHITES, ETC., ALL, including BOTH the right of women to choose and the right to life of the unborn.
24. Our needs and wants aren’t hard to figure out.
25. We all simply want for ourselves and our unborn to
be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
26. SO to congress — the simple request is rise to the level of statesmen and stateswomen and stop this impeachment and beat up on POTUS TRUMP nonsense and help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS or resign and get out of the way.
27. We simply want FREEDOM. *Freedom of Religion; *Freedom of Speech; *Freedom of Assembly; *Right to bear arms; *Eliminate political correctness. *Cut government bureaucracy and regulations! *Regarding Freedom of Religion, let Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist worship how, where, or what they may so long as they respect the rights of others. *Work together across the aisle. This is what a POTUS and the congress should do and stand for.
28. We simply want SAFETY. *Support Law and Order [Indict the leakers and FBI disaffected leadership and the Clintons and any others if they deserve it and hold them accountable if they are guilty]; *Support police officers and our military and border patrol; *Uphold our Right to bear arms; *Protect our borders; *Build the wall NOW [HURRICANE AND THE LIKE DISASTERS ARE NO EXCUSE NOT TO BUILD THE WALL NOW]; *Vet immigrants and visitors stringently; *Eliminate ISIS/al Qaeda; *Get rid of MS 13 and other gangs; identify and prosecute criminal syndicates; *Ensure no North Korea/Iran nukes; *TEAR DOWN THE KOREAN DMZ; *Care for our Vets; *Strengthen our military; *Work with Russia and China where in our best interests, and with Great Britain, the EU, and Canada and Central and South America. *Stop the murders in Chicago and Baltimore and other cities; *Get rid of sanctuary cities and support ICE. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for and do.
3. We simply want PROSPERITY. *Several hundred million new jobs; *Enhance U.S. manufacturing; *Establish Energy independence; *Foster Technology advances; *Push Space exploration; *Work with other countries so long as the deal is fair; *Eliminate the national debt if it has the possibility of bringing American down; Ensure clean air and water and care for our environment. *Take the lead in Artificial Intelligence. Help solve the COVID-19 problem by preventing spread and developing a vaccine; and regarding the Influenza problem, “Get your flu shot” is not good enough CDC response given so many flu deaths. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for and do.
4. We simply want you to STOP DUMPING OUR TREASURE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. *Better roads; *Better pipe system; *Better airports; *Better ports; *Better bridges; *Better secure free enhanced internet. Including the INFRASTRUCTURE in our Inner Cities. Stop sending out military and treasure to the Middle East. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for and do.
SO to congress – Chuck and Nancy in particular — the simple request is rise to the level of statesmen and stateswomen and stop this impeachment and beat up on POTUS TRUMP nonsense and help us be free, safe, and prosperous or resign and get out of the way.
5. We simply want you to STOP THE ABORTION INSANITY. Long before today, the tipping point has been reached. STOP THE ABORTION INSANITY NOW.

2. My daughter visited me and while she was with me she taught me how to make sourdough bread; and she gave me some starter she was given at a Bausch mixer cooking class.
3. Since that day, and acknowledging her kindness, I’ve taken up sourdough bread making; and to-date, I’ve found a great deal of enjoyment baking and giving away my bread. By now I have given away many more loaves than I have eaten. I’ve also learned a few things about bread making and have thrown away a couple of beginner loaves as well simply because they were not up to my standards.
4. With these checklists, sourdough bread is not hard to make. It is tasty, healthy, filling, and the loaves make great gifts. With this little intro, keep in mind that well made artisan sourdough bread is to cry for if not to die for. Sourdough bread when well made can be the best.
5. I hope you find these checklists not only interesting, but also sufficiently motivating so you think seriously about taking up your own Artisan Sourdough Bread making avocation or for that matter vocation.
6. And while you are at it, think about giving away some if not much of your bread to your family, neighbors, and friends.
7. I don’t like the traditional recipe format. For ease of use, for avoiding cooking mistakes, I like my recipe checklists better. So here goes.
11. Large non-metal mixing bowl, spatula (I use a rubber one), heavy ceramic* pot with lid, cooking parchment paper, cutting board, plastic wrap or dish towel.
12. *Purists say do not use metal. Purists say do not use stainless steel. Purists say the acids make sourdough sour and acids react to any metals.
13. I use a large metal mixing bowl and a rubber spatula and to-date have not noticed any problem with quality.
HOW TO Make Sourdough Bread:
14. To the large mixing bowl:
15. Add 3 and ½ cups FLOUR.
16. Add 2 tsp SALT.

20. STIR UNTIL MIXED.
21. COVER FOR 12 to 24 HOURS.
22. SPREAD FLOUR on cutting board.
23. DUMP DOUGH ON cutting board.
24. KNEAD DOUGH 15 to 20 times by hand or with spatula.
SPRAY INSIDE OF POT WITH NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY.
25. PLACE PARCHMENT PAPER IN POT.
26. PLACE KNEADED DOUGH IN POT.
27. COVER WITH LID OR PLASTIC WRAP OR DISH TOWEL
28. LET DOUGH RISE 2 to 3 HOURS UNTIL DOUBLE IN SIZE.
29. I set my pot in the cold oven while my dough rises.
30. TURN OVEN ON AT 425 DEGREES AND BAKE FOR 30 MINUTES.
31. TAKE LID OFF.
32. BASTE TOP OF BREAD WITH BUTTER OR OLIVE OIL.

40. SOURDOUGH BREAD – BENEFITS – SAID BY SOME TO BE THE HEALTHIEST BREAD.
41. SOURDOUGH BREAD – BENEFITS – TAKING UP BAKING HELPED ONE PERSON I KNOW OF STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL
42. SOURDOUGH BREAD — HISTORY
43. An oldest form of leavened bread, dating back to Egypt.
44. Sourdough was carried in back packs and covered wagons by explorers and pioneers – was used by California and Klondike gold rush miners, and was used to leaven bread before commercial baking yeast was available.
45. Sourdough starter may have been discovered by accident when wild yeast found its way into dough.
46. Alaskan miners allegedly slept with their starter to keep it from freezing.
51. There are artisan bread making jobs available. Check Google.
52. SOURDOUGH BREAD VARIATIONS
53. ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS DURING KNEADING OR
54. ADD A PACKAGE OF TRAIL MIX OR
55. ADD A CUP OF RAISONS OR
56. THE BEST MOST TASTY VARIATION I’VE FOUND TO-DATE?
57. ADD A CUP OF CRANBERRY CRAZENS
58. I don’t recommend adding chocolate chips. The chips melt and the chocolate taste is lost in the sourdough taste.
59. Trail mix is ok.
60. Again, if you are going to try adding components, the cranberry crazens work best for me.
61. There are a number of Artisan Bread making recipe variations.
SOURDOUGH BREAD AND STARTER TIPS
62. Again, some say don’t use metal or stainless steel.
63. Use ceramic bowls and wooden spoons
64. Take good care of your starter, some say out of respect for its long history, out of respect for the many individuals and families fed over the years because of sourdough starter.
65. There are stories of starter kept alive for ten years or more.
66. So keep your starter alive.
67. Add equal parts of warm water and flour to your starter every few weeks.
68. Store your starter in your refrigerator.
69. It can last for a long, long time.
70. It will improve with age.
71. Stir it periodically.
72. If you have a sourdough junkie in your family, your sourdough starter may be one of the very best legacies you can pass on from generation to generation.
73. Again, toss the starter if it shows any pink or orange or other odd color or carries a strange odor.

117. HOW TO MAKE ARTISAN SOURDOUGH BREAD. CHECK OUT THESE VIDEOS:
194. All-purpose white flour, 1 package of active dry yeast (.24 ounce), sugar, salt, warm water (NOT HOT. IT WILL KILL YOUR YEAST).
195. Glass jar with lid or you can cover it with a plastic sandwich bag, wood or plastic spoon, plastic mixing bowl.
196. HOW TO MAKE STARTER:
197. Mix –
198. 2 cups flour
199. 2 cups warm water
200. 3 tablespoons sugar
201. 1 teaspoon salt
202. 1 package active dry yeast (.24 ounce)
203. Place mixed starter in glass quart jar.
204. Place lid on jar LOOSLY.
205. Let it sit in your kitchen or pantry for 2-4 days so it ferments.
206. You may want to place a rubber band at top of starter so you can track increase.
207. Stir your starter at least once each week.
208. Watch it periodically to see it doesn’t overflow.
209. Place it in a bowl or on a cookie sheet or cutting board to catch any overflow.
210. Refrigerate your starter after it ferments – bubbles and has sour smell.
211. When you use starter, add equal amounts of flour and water to maintain your starter.
212. Take your starter out of your refrigerator 12-24 hours before you bake.
213. Stir it and see if it bubbles.
214. Where liquid is clear or light brown, that’s ok.
215. Starters improve with age and as I said can be passed down to family or friends.
216. If your starter has any odd color, throw it out and try again.
217. Note that a little sugar helps because wild yeasts add to the mix and augment the fermentation.
218. One approach to adding to your starter: Day before using your starter, take a cup of starter and mix it in a bowl with equal parts flour and water.
219. Next day, take half cup of the new mixed starter and return it to your glass jar in your refrigerator and use the rest for cooking.

BARREL, here are FIFTY REASONS I will not be voting for Joe Biden – reasons based on media, Sweizer’s book Profiles in Corruption, and my conclusion that Joe is corrupt, incompetent, and senile.
10. Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned Hillary Clinton’s bleach bitting her emails and hammering her blackberries and illegally using a private server and taking millions pay to play into the Clinton Foundation and personal accounts for her personal use as well her “fake video” lies about Benghazi to help Obama at Romney’s expense.
11. Joe is corrupt because while he was Obama’s VP he knew about and condoned the FISA surveillance of POTUS TRUMP and his campaign.
12. Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned and supported Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and Schumer, in their fake partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.
13. Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned the fake Mueller investigation.
14. Joe is corrupt because he supports open borders which would have left us with hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 cases and thousands of deaths.
15. Joe is corrupt because he voted for and supports democrat driven abortion which to date since primarily democrat Roe v Wade has caused more than 300,000,000 unborn babies to be killed surgically and chemically since 1973 – 50,000,000+ Black babies, 50,000,000+ Hispanic babies, 200,000,000+ Native American, Asian American, Caucasian babies.
16. Joe is corrupt having worked with Obama to facilitate the transfer payment building of other nations all the while destroying American values and the American middle class.
17. My second conclusion is that Joe is incompetent.
18. He is incompetent because he is a quintessential career politician, part of the gravy train establishment, who has never met a payroll and doesn’t understand how the real world works.
19. Joe is incompetent because he cost us multi-millions of dollars in exorbitant health care costs.
20. Joe is incompetent because he was and still is responsible for all of Obama’s incompetent policies that were designed to and in fact did curtail our freedom, safety, and prosperity.
21. Joe is incompetent as a career politician because he cannot point to one promise he has kept in all his years as a government bureaucrat that helps us be free, safe, or prosperous while POTUS TRUMP has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises all focused on helping us be free, safe, and prosperous.
22. My third conclusion is that Joe is senile, showing the weaknesses or diseases of dementia, of old age, the loss of his mental facilities including decreased memory and mental faculties.
23. I believe Joe is senile because he can’t remember the facts.
24. Joe is senile because he can’t debate with reason so he has to resort to profanity, calling out the “deplorables” who challenge him for his corruption.
26. Joe is senior moment senile because he can’t remember who others are.
27. Joe is senior moment senile because he can’t remember where he is.
28. Joe is senile because he can’t remember who he is.
29. Joe is senile because he can’t remember what he is.
30. Joe is senile because he can’t remember the difference between flu and COVID-19.
31. Joe is described in the media as a senile creepy sniffing hands on old man without the stamina to campaign let alone carry out the heavy duties of POTUS – skipping major party events, hiding from the press, holding only a quarter and half as many public events as other candidates..
49. The New Republic concludes that Joe is Collapsing.
50. In my judgment, Joe has already collapsed and Joe’s electability is a myth with fatal implications for the country. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-myth-of-joe-bidens-electability/ At the same time POTUS TRUMP is working over time to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
3. Although, what is needed is common sense wisdom that derives from perspective and experience.
4. Notwithstanding the comparatively very few infected and dead from COVID-19, or from SARS and MERS in the past, the CDC and POTUS TRUMP and others need to take aggressive action including the several billion in funding and do what they can to prevent its spread –
5. while the media needs to shut up about coronavirus COVID-19 and
6. the investors need to chill out simply because nobody needs to go out and buy a mask.
7. The real pandemic, though, is Influenza which from a symptom view can hardly be distinguished from a Coronavirus.
8. Just look at the vast number ill, hospitalized, and dead from Influenza.
9. At the same time we need several billion dollars focused on wiping out influenza.
10. Historically, Influenza has caused millions of deaths world-wide while SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 will have caused a few thousand.
1. Hey, BARREL, do you think Elizabeth Warren will endorse POTUS TRUMP?
2. You are making a joke, right, PORK?
3. Stranger things have happened, BARREL.
4. POTUS TRUMP has kept his campaign promises.
5. He has helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.
6. He and VP Pence have managed COVID-19 matter with dignity.
7. He has taken out ISIS and he is bringing home our troops and extricating us from war and cutting off the trillions of dollars poured down the middle east rathole.
8. He has generated the best U.S. economy ever despite the stock market correction which has been stoked in largest measure by media and politician driven unwarranted “coronavirus fear.” Keep in mind that with SARS there were no deaths in the U.S. With MERS there were no deaths in the U.S. With COVID-19 there have been only 16 last count. All the while there have been pandemic million infected, short of half million hospitalized, thousands of Influenza deaths – said by CDC to be 14,000 to 46,000 with projections of 60,000 annual deaths.
9. He has gotten rid of onerous regulations and political correctness. He is championing the right to life of the unborn. 300,000,000+ unborn babies have been unceremoniously killed since democrat Biden Schumer Roe v Wade in 1973 which is 50,000,000+ BLACK BABIES, 50,000,000+ HISPANIC BABIES, 200,000,000+ NATIVE AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN, ASIAN AMERICAN BABIES KILLED.
10. He has made major progress building the wall and stopping illegal immigration making sure people are vetted who come to America and in the process preventing terrorist activities.
11. He has stood up to North Korea and Iran.
12. He came out of the Pelosi Schumer impeachment unscathed and stronger.
13. He is rooting out corruption including Biden’s corrupt billion dollar Quid Pro Quo in Ukraine, and the Biden Obama money laundering to fund a proxy war with Russia according to Glenn Beck, and Biden’s corrupt billion dollar China to his son’s hedge fund connection and Biden’s corrupt billions paid to Iran shortly before Biden left office – money used to fund terrorism and adverse military activities.
14. Elizabeth would be smart to shift gears and support POTUS TRUMP.
15. Right, BARREL,
16. I am making a joke, though.
17. Elizabeth crossing over to endorse POTUS TRUMP is not going to happen.
18. Although, I wouldn’t put it past POTUS TRUMP asking her to do so. Like I said, stranger things have happened in politics.
19. A brokered democrat convention will be interesting if that happens.
20. In any case, I have a hard time seeing Joe with the nomination.
21. He looks like he is shriveled up and going to self-destruct any minute physically despite the fact that his campaign is running photos of him from past years. He hasn’t got the stamina to function as POTUS.
22. Joe appears to be senile unstable as he self-destructs and gaffes mentally on a regular basis not to mention the sniffing.
23. Most importantly, whereas POTUS TRUMP was exonerated completely and came out of the Mueller and impeachment debacles bloodied but unscathed politically, Joe cannot handle and survive the truth about his corruption charges.
1. BARREL, I know 300,000,000 reasons never to vote for Joe Biden or for Chuck Schumer who just threatened our Supreme Court Justices with harm.
2. What are they, PORK?
3. BARREL, according to the Planned Parenthood online abortion counter and footnote, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since democrat sponsored Roe v. Wade in 1973.
4. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies.
5. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies.
6. 200,000,000+ were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies.
7. That’s the equivalent in numbers of a holocaust of 6,000,000+ babies killed each year.
8. Yes, PORK, and Joe and Chuck are responsible for all of them.
2. PORK, we ought to save them. We ought to adopt them.
And while we are at it we ought to save the unborn as well.
According to the online abortion counter, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since democrat sponsored Roe v. Wade. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies. 200,000,000 were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies. That’s the equivalent in numbers of a holocaust each year.
So how can we save the unborn, PORK, despite Chuck Schumer threatening Supreme Court Justices with harm? We can get rid of Roe v Wade and adopt instead of kill a baby. That is how.
3. How about the mustangs, BARREL?
4. Adopt a Mustang, PORK. Adopt a Mustang from the BLM.
5.”Mustangs live in the grassland areas of the western United States. The Bureau of Land Management manages the U.S. mustang population and allows the horses run free on 34 million acres of public land. About 271,000 mustangs have been removed from private land by the government since 1971, according to the American Wild Horse Preservation Organization. Most of the mustang populations are found in the Western states of Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, California, Arizona, North Dakota and New Mexico. Some also live on the Atlantic coast and on islands such as the Sable, Shackleford, Assateague and Cumberland Islands.
“Mustangs live in large herds. The herd consists of one stallion, around eight females and their young, though separate herds have been known to blend when they are in danger. The herd is led by a female horse, or mare, and a stallion that is over 6 years of age. In dangerous situations, the head mare will lead her heard to safety, and the stallion will stay and fight.
“Herds spend most of their time grazing on grasses, though it is not unusual to see them playing or snuggling together for a nap. Often, when it looks like they are fighting, young mustangs are actually playing a game, much like when human children wrestle.
“The mustang is not on any endangered list at this time, though there are people petitioning to change that. About 100 years ago, about 2 million mustangs roamed the North American terrain. Now, there are fewer than 25,000 mustangs left in the wild, according to the Humane Society.
“In the wild, Mustangs can live up to 40 years. Hurt or disabled horses are protected by the herd and can live remarkably long lives when compared with other animal species that live in the wild.
“In the Wild West, cowboys would catch, tame and sell mustangs. These cowboys were called “mustang runners.” Mustangs were also hunted for their meat in the early 20th century. Sometimes their meat was used for pet food.
“As of July 2018, there were 43,886 wild horses and 1,434 burros in government holding facilities (8,827 in short-term holding corrals, 35,850 in long-term holding pastures in the Midwest and 643 in eco-sanctuaries).”
7. Yes, BARREL, and again, while we are at it we ought to save the unborn as well. According to the online abortion counter, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies. 200,000,000 were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies.
8. So how can we save the unborn, PORK. Despite Chuck Schumer threatening Supreme Court Justices with harm, get rid of Roe v Wade and adopt a baby. That is how.
1. BARREL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 VIRUS vs INFLUENZA VIRUS.
2. PORK, I know a few things. I know that it sure looks like the media panic cart is before the politicians’ panic horse. Consider these facts. In this coronavirus panic, we have @ 100 cases of “COVID-19” virus with 9 deaths in the U.S.
3. In the Coronavirus MERS panic we had 2 cases and 0 deaths in the U.S. in the year 2012. No deaths then and no deaths since.
4. In the Coronavirus SARS panic we had 27 cases and 0 deaths in the U.S. in the year 2017. No deaths then and no deaths since.
5. Now let’s stop and at the same time take a hard look at INFLUENZA virus in the U.S. CDC says there have been 18,000 to 46,000 deaths from influenza virus in the U.S. so far this influenza virus year.
6. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 1,000,000+ sick with influenza virus in the U.S. this year.
7. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 400,000+ hospitalized with influenza virus in the U.S. this year. A hospital administrator friend of mine says the hospitals are stressed because of the great number of influenza virus cases.
8. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 60,000 deaths are expected from influenza virus in the U.S. this year.
9. Perhaps more precisely, the CDC estimates that since 2010 influenza virus has resulted in
10. between 9 million – 45 million illnesses,
11. between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and
12. between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.
13. Hey, folks, and especially you politicians and those who run the CDC, that means between 120,000 to 600,000 will have died from INFLUENZA VIRUS SINCE 2010.
14. BARREL, it sure does looks like we have the media panic cart before the politicians’ panic horse.
15. My friend’s granddaughter has INFLUENZA B so I checked this out and I’m pretty sure the numbers are in the ballpark.
16. PORK, it sure looks like INFLUENZA has been and still is the “hidden” pandemic in the U.S., a pandemic not addressed on Obama’s watch or Bush’s watch. Why the reticence is a question that deserves research.
17. Sounds like those in charge of the CDC either a) need to be removed from office and someone appointed who will focus not just on media politician panic COVID-19 coronavirus but also on this “hidden pandemic” INFLUENZA VIRUS issue or b) those currently in charge at CDC need to be tasked with gathering real numbers and reporting to POTUS TRUMP and the nation and c) more importantly take serious steps to cut INFLUENZA deaths – beyond simply saying “get your flu shot.”
18. Yes, PORK, I talked to one local health official and she said they do not count deaths of adults from influenza which sounds bazaar to me.
19. You are right, BARREL. If you don’t have the precise numbers it makes it difficult to work on solving the problem.
20. And while we are at it, BARREL, it certainly looks like the stock market has been manipulated with this media politician driven coronavirus panic. Someone needs to take a hard look at that one for sure.
