Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a beautiful man with a very big Heart & Brain who did tremendous work for me at the White House, has just written an excellent book, "Why We Fight: Defeating America's Enemies - With NO Apologies." ZERO apologies, folks. Sebastian has nothing to apologize for. And neither do I. I have this Country running LIKE A TOP. And Dr. Sebastian was a big help with that. He’s a big man. He’s all man. I won’t talk about the weight. I don't know what the weight is. And very frankly, I don't want to know. Maybe it's a problem and maybe it isn't. I won’t go there. But he’s a big man and he’s a great man. So get his Book now. Very good read! barnesandnoble.com/w/why-we-fight-sebastian-gorka-phd/1129292280

Update -- there's a lot of unfairness when it comes to the Books. Amazon is just not on an even playing field. They have a tremendous lobbying effort, in addition to having the Washington Post. What they have is a very uneven playing field. With many Divots for somebody that says, "oh, I'll open a beautiful new Bookstore." I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U. S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business. But, you want to save a little money, right? Maybe you want to save some money. Amazon, very proudly, has Dr. Sebastian's Book for a little less money. And they have what they call Audiobook. For the people that have Modern Cyber. You buy Audiobook, there's a cyber person reading his Book out loud to you. You can be reading Documents. You can be watching TV. Playing Golf (hello Obama). Or having "sex." While you listen to Dr. Sebastian's Audiobook. Amazing! amazon.com/Why-We-Fight-Defeating-Apologies/dp/162157640X

Previously: 4 Gallon Kimchi Ferment

I took it out on the 26th, so about 15 days of fermentation.

This version of the recipe had just 25% of the crushed red pepper I normally use. The resulting taste was much milder, but still satisfying, and still tasted like kimchi rather than sauerkraut or something. You get a more noticeable ginger taste this way.

The biggest disappointment may have been the radishes. By becoming soggy, they lost the crisp crunchiness they had at the start. This should have been obvious but I wasn't thinking about it. They became less spicy, which may be a plus for some. There have been kimchis made primarily of radishes for centuries, so it's not coming out of left field as an ingredient. I cut my red (Cherry Belle?) radishes into thin circular slices rather than cube chunks as seen in the linked recipe.

Rather than the 4 gallons I was expecting, I made just over 3 gallons, filling about 12.5-13 quart jars. I used a slotted spoon to get the veggies in the jars, and then put each jar in the sink so I could pour liquid from the bucket into it. Some minor gas buildup was already evident when I sealed and opened some of the jars. I'd like for it to develop that tangy carbonation I got in the old storebought kimchi, so some of these will be sitting around in the fridge for a long while.

I didn't see any signs of bubbling in the airlock, maybe because the bucket was only just over half full, or because the lactobacillus fermentation process is much slower than say, yeast + beer. I think the airlock may have helped in getting a consistent flavor with less "funk". It also prevented the smell from escaping into the room, until I opened the bucket.

I didn't write down the cost of materials but it was probably in the neighborhood of $15, or $30 counting reusable supplies, to make the equivalent of maybe $150-300 worth of kimchi. It should be able to stay good in the fridge for up to 6 months, possibly longer. I'll agree with the AC that says it's a waste of time to make bread. You are competing with impeccably baked artisan loaves in the $1-3 range (less for clearance bread). Kimchi or sauerkraut? You can easily beat it on price. Time spent making it isn't too bad (worse for kimchi than sauerkraut since I had to cut up a lot of stuff and soaked cabbage for a while). Simplify the steps for saeurkraut and you can start some in under half an hour. And you can put it on your meat and potatoes.

If any of you decided to make some, or buy some, I'd like to hear how it turned out.

Very honored to have done an incredible job Monday. When I held 2 amazing MAGA rallies in Mississippi. For TRUMP 2020 and for @cindyhydesmith. Huge huge crowd! So many folks waiting in line. You don't mind waiting. Because you love me. And you love Cindy. Cindy has voted with me 100% of the time. 100%. She's always had my back. She's always had your back. Vote for Cindy and send a very special message to the Radical Dems! If we win today, we go 53-47, and nobody can believe it! #RedTide

Someone apparently hacked Drake’s Fortnite account and used racial slurs on a charity live-stream

Ninja plays Fortnite with fake Drake after Drake's account is hacked - hacker gets racist on stream

The account 'Duddus647' randomly joined Ninja's game while he was doing a charity livestream to raise money for the Ellen Fund, in collaboration with the Ellen show.

Believing that it was in fact Drake, Ninja attempted to text the rapper, saying "I'm not sure if Drake meant to invite me?" - before jumping into a game.

With the Drake account completely silent at first, Ninja began to play as normal, assuming that the star was maybe just setting up his microphone and audio.

Things seemed perfectly normal (if one of the most famous people in the world randomly joining your game of Fortnite can ever be considered 'normal'), and Ninja quickly got to taking out opponents.

Suddenly however, "Drake" broke his silence, except of course it wasn't Drake at all, but rather a hacker who had gained access to the account - and began saying the N-word repeatedly.

Drake (musician)

Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) known mononymously as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur. His rapping ability has been noted as "polarizing", and has contributed to him being named one of the most divisive rappers of his generation by multiple critics and media publications. Drake initially gained recognition as an actor on the teen drama television series Degrassi: The Next Generation in the early 2000s.

[...] Drake holds several Billboard chart records. He has the most charted songs (186) among solo artists in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, the most simultaneously charted Hot 100 songs in a single week (27), the most time on the Hot 100 (431 weeks) and the most Hot 100 debuts in a week (22). He also has the most number one singles on the Hot Rap Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Charts. Drake has also won three Juno Awards, six American Music Awards, and fifteen Billboard Music Awards. He is the RIAA's top certified digital singles artist and one of the world's best-selling music artists, with more than 95 million records sold globally.

Hillary Clinton calls on Europe to curb migration to halt populists

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling on European leaders to enact stricter immigration policies in order to counter the growing threat of right-wing populism on the continent.

“I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton told The Guardian in an interview published Thursday, referring to the rise of anti-immigrant politicians across Europe.

“I admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel," she said, "but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message — ‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’ — because if we don’t deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic.”

#HillaryGraduatedFromBeingAnNPCBoss :^)

I will be allowing, as President, ALL the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened. Other than the ones w/National Security, Law Enforcement & Foreign Affairs Concerns. I agree with the Archivist’s recommendation that the continued with holdings are necessary to protect against identifiable harm to national security, law enforcement, or foreign affairs that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE. And I've set a very strict deadline for the release. October 26, 2021.

So incredible what they did to JFK. He was one of the most powerful guys. Him and Nikita. And they did a total number on him. One minute he's a smart guy. The next, so many of his Brains are flying everywhere. And now the rest of his Brain is missing. Or is it? So many people wondering where the President's Brain is. Big mystery there, right?

And by the way, we still have Snipers. Obama sent his Polish Snipers to Kiev, the Ukraine has never been the same since he did that. And I have some terrific Snipers in my beautiful military. My great, and very gun-adept guys. And my brave, and very sexy Lady Snipers. I never forget my Snipers. Something that certain Judges & Chief Justices can keep in mind. I'll tell you, one Chief Justice isn't exactly my favorite. You know who you are!!!!

One more thing, I hear bye proclaim today THANKSGIVING. Beautiful weather here in sunny Florida. Very nice, as usual at my Winter White House. Otherwise known as Mar-a-Lago. New York City, not so nice. It's in the 20s, right? They used to say, "oh, Global Warming!" You don't hear that one anymore. Because of days like this. Too many places getting VERY COLD. So they changed that one, now they say Climate Change. And a little of that good old Global Warming would be great right now. For New York it would be great. So why not shovel some beautiful Clean Coal into your boiler today? The Miners will thank you. And you can thank them. I thank them every day -- I never ever forget our fabulous Coal Miners!

And another thing we're VERY THANKFUL for is our allies, our STEADFAST partners. Israel and Saudi Arabia. Who we love. Because they always, always put America First. Just like I do. We get so much money from the Saudi, they love our equipment. Our military equipment -- the best in the entire world. They're investing so much money. They're truly spectacular investors. You want to sell a yacht, you want to sell a condo -- Saudi. You can count on them. 100%. And we spend a lot of money on terrific Israel. It's our very special colony on the other side of the world. Our Jamestown. We love Israel because it's bringing "democracy." A lot of people in Middle East are looking at Israel, believe me. And possibly they'll have "democracy" in Middle East too. In the Saudi, in Yemen, in many places. Possibly even Iran -- remember the Snipers (I remember). Just like they have in Israel. You never know. And nobody really knows. They say "oh, death to America." Not for long. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! Something Obama never said. He'll say it. And you're going to be hearing that one more and more. Because I ended the Bush/Obama War on Thanksgiving. I'm the only guy that could end it. And I'm very honored. USA!

American Is Killed by Bow and Arrow on Remote Indian Island

John Allen Chau had dreamed of returning to the Andaman Islands.

Mr. Chau, an American thought to be in his 20s, was fulfilling that dream last week when he set off by kayak for a remote island inhabited by a tribe whose members have killed outsiders for simply stepping on their shore.

Fishermen warned him not to go. Few outsiders had ever been there. And Indian government regulations clearly prohibited any interaction with people on the island, called North Sentinel.

But Mr. Chau pushed ahead in his kayak, which he had packed with a Bible. After that, it is a bit of a mystery what happened.

But the police say one thing is clear: Mr. Chau did not survive.
