I have little free time anymore, sorry for the late response. Currently helping plan the IKE PIA. You still working Civil Service/Consulting, or whatever is was you were doing before?

Trump has a majority of the Labor vote in the Rust belt. THAT is why he won the election. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, you know the rest. As long as he keeps that vote by providing jobs he will win again. If not he will go down in spectacular fashion. All this other jibber jabber means very little.

Trudeau is on board with this, his citizens need to get with the program.

I think you are going find out that Trump has policies that will win him over in many different voting sectors. I was a Union worker for most of my working life and most of my Union friends are now supporting Trump. It is the biggest reason why he won the election because their vote turned blue states Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin red. There is no reason to believe that will change because his policies address their problems. Immigration issues play well in most states, his pharmaceutical policies play well with practically all Americans. The left has been left behind. God help Democrats if the economy takes off before the mid-terms, can you say super majority?

Not a fan of some of the bait he puts out. That said, he does this to create diversions. The latest example is the threat to send in the Feds to clean up Chicago. Watch how much of the Media`s energy this will expend.

What is amazing is that we have seen Trump`s strategy for 2 years now and we continue to be amazed by it. The ADD media can`t focus for more than a day on any issue and it`s "down the rabbit hole" they go. I saw MSNBC a few minutes ago and they were asking Washington lawmakers "can`t we slow down a little bit"? This is lawmaking on an unprecedented level. It`s like a centerfielder trying to deal with a dozen fly balls at the same time.

For me it is all about policy. I have to live with Trump`s antics because in the end he gets us where we need to go. I`m no different than most other partisans.

Trump has mounted a full out blitzkrieg while at the same time has the media chasing rabbits down a hole. The left cannot mount a solid front on any area because when they do he pushes a hot button issue that scatters them like roaches. It`s as if the left are hungry lions chasing a pack of zebras and end up exhausted and hungry. I don`t care who you are, this strategy is brilliant.

I`m already getting sick of winning.

I`m still at NNSY. I went from a knuckle draggin pipe fitter to a Nuc Zone Manager on the Carriers that come in the yard. It`s hard to re-invent yourself in your 50`s but I have them all fooled. I am now stressed to the max and never get a moments peace but the GS pay is good. After I get my high three I`m taking an early retirement in 4 years (if I`m not dead first). Other than that life is great!

Well you were wrong.

Regular Guy, you definitely have a passion for cooking that may even surpass mine. You ever looked into starting your own eatery? My guess is you would be extremely happy, wealthy, and exhausted.

Next time try the bacon and liquid smoke. It woiks wonduffwy.

I forgot to mention, the bacon that came off was unbelievable.

Cooked 2 Turkeys. The one that stole the show was the one I marinated overnight in a mixture of chicken broth, dark brown sugar, onions, garlic, and about a half cup of liquid smoke (nothing on the grill this time). After marinating, I used a bout 2 cups of poultry rub ( a mixture of chili powder, sugar, kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper). I then put the turkey in the rotisserie oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour I took the turkey out and put a bacon blanket on the breast portion of the turkey. This protects the breast from drying while the dark meat is reaching 170 degrees. It also adds another wonderful taste profile for the entire turkey *** the bacon juice ends up all over the turkey from the rotating rotisserie. This may have been my best turkey ever.
