It’s very unlikely that Shawn Harris wins the runoff, but 40 percent of the Republican voters bucked Trump’s endorsement. Democrats are clearly energized. This is March. If the dynamics don’t change in the next couple of months, November will be a disaster for Trump.
Down in the auto-manufacturing state of Germany, Green Party candidate Cem Özdemir has been elected Premier. That the Green Party has won is not so surprising – the Greens of Germany have had on-off success in elections since they first won Parliamentary representation under the leadership of Petra Kelly back in the 1980s. But Özdemir is a Turkish immigrant, and the first immigrant to ever win such an election. And if you listen to his interview, he is all business and extremely media savvy. People are talking about a run for Chancellor in a couple of years. It is a longshot that a GP candidate would be elected Chancellor, however, if the SDP ever decides to take any kind of principled stand again, the SPD and GP could win a coalition government. The Christian Democrats, a party which was created after World War II made up of allegedly former Nazis, collaborators, and members of the parties which had passed the Enabling Act in 1933, is on the defensive at the moment.
The war is over!
Putin says so.
It’s an ancient food. It’s a perfect protein. You can eat it with meat. So what is the weirdness around the term “soy boy?”
I was introduced to it when I was six years old at the South China Cafe in San Francisco when my parents ordered broccoli with bean cake. I didn’t learn the term “tofu” until the early 1980s when it became a trend food by hippies and the health food movement. I asked a waiter at a Chinese restaurant why they called it “bean cake” when everyone else was saying “tofu.” He responded “It was invented in China and a lot of Chinese don’t like the Japanese (where the word “tofu” comes from). A lot of bad blood in our mutual history.”
Some people didn’t know how to use it. A friend of my parents saw it in his refrigerator for the first time when his wife bought some and he took it, sliced it into 1 inch cubes, and fried it up. He said “it looked great when it was browned, but then I bit into it tasted like – nothing!” My aunt read about the protein value, but put even less thought into it when she sliced it into sheets, and put mustard and mayo onto the bread with some lettuce and didn’t understand why her sons didn’t like it.
I was exposed to a great dish when I was at a base camp for civil disobedience outside of Vandenberg Air Force Base to protest missile testing in 1983. In the food tent they served “liver and onions” with tofu – wonderful sauce served over rice. I haven’t been able to duplicate it.
I’m reminded of the Cracker Barrel customer whining because they put a plant-based meat onto the menu. Sno-flakes screamed about it, threatening to boycott until it was removed from the menu. So obsessed over what someone else might choose to eat!
This woman reviews the history of tofu.
Strongly recommend the mapo tofu at the Szechuan Gardens in Arcata. One of my daughter’s favorites.
Of course, the DOJ refuses to speak with her.
With multiple lawsuits pending, the DOJ quietly posted the documents in which a woman claims that she was servicing Trump orally when she was 13-years-old and he punched her in the head when she bit him. Are these allegations true? Who knows? Are they being investigated? Were they investigated? What were the findings? And why had they been removed from the disclosures in the first place? Generally, you don’t try to cover something up if there’s anything to it.
This is pathetic.
