I worked the grocers list this morning while doing errands and noticed that the price of eggs have dropped. Belle and I normally buy the Grade A Large eggs and that's what I looked at today.
$3.93 is a lot better that the ~$5.00 they were earlier when I checked. We don't eat a lot of eggs, but I needed them for lunch. I fried some nice pork steaks and used an egg wash to help the breading stick to the pork.
When I get ready to cook chicken fried steak, or chicken fried pork, I season the meat with salt, pepper and garlic powder, then run it through some all-purpose flour, then an egg/milk wash, then into crushed saltine crackers. Hot oil at 350F, fry till golden brown. It helps if you have the butcher run those little pork steaks through the tenderizer.
I don't fry chicken. Popeye's is just down the road, and I can't seem to get the motivation to fry chicken anymore. So, today's lunch was chicken fried pork, with mashed potatoes and a cream gravy.

Less than one third of guns and ammunition taken by the federal government are done through criminal forfeitures. During the Biden administration, criminal forfeitures of guns and ammunition nearly doubled, while administrative forfeitures and civil forfeitures were essentially level. The chart shown was obtained from the Department of Justice (DOJ). It lists the three types of forfeitures by for the last five fiscal years. The federal fiscal year is the time period used for budget purposes, running from October 1 to September 30 each year. The five years covered span most of the four years of the Biden administration.
Here is a short description of the three types of forfeiture listed. They are derived form longer definitions posted at the DOJ.
Judicial Criminal Forfeiture - the procedure by which property is forfeited by a person as part of a criminal conviction. The connection between the crime and the property must be established by a preponderance of the evidence. This type of forfeiture occurs when a claimant contests the forfeiture. This type of forfeiture accounts for 31% of the federal forfeitures of guns and ammunition.
Civil Judicial Forfeiture - the procedure by which property alleged to be derived from or used to commit an offense is forfeited to the government. No criminal conviction is required, but a court has to find a preponderance of the evidence, presented by the government, links the property to criminal activity. This type of forfeiture amounts to about two percent of the forfeitures of guns and ammunition.
Administrative Forfeiture - the procedure by which property is forfeited without a case being filed in federal court. This occurs when no one contests the forfeiture of the assets. The seizure of the property is required to be based on probable cause. This type of forfeiture is the most common at about two thirds of the federal forfeitures of guns and ammunition.
It is likely the judicial-criminal and administrative forfeiture of firearms and ammunition will be reduced during the President Trump administration. FY21 ran from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021. The first four months were during the first Trump administration. Much of the last eight months happened as the Biden administration found its footing and changed the direction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, (ATF). The FY21 number of Judicial-criminal firearms and guns were 8,482. The number increased for the next three years to 16,858, very close to double. There was very little change in the other two types of forfeiture.
Analysis:
The doubling of judicial-criminal forfeitures during the Biden administration likely occurred because of the "zero-tolerance" anti-Second Amendment policy of the Biden administration. Acts which would not have been considered criminal, or would not have been prosecuted before the Biden administration, were vigorously prosecuted during the Biden administration. The Trump administration has already put plans into effect to transfer or cut 1000 ATF agents. The ATF has about 2,600 agents. Removing a thousand ATF agents from the ATF means the ability of the ATF to infringe on Second Amendment rights will be greatly reduced. The change in focus of the ATF, away from paperwork errors and toward violent criminals will probably mean a smaller number of more important cases.

LOS BANOS, Calif. (FOX26) — Two people were shot by a homeowner during a home invasion early Friday morning in Los Banos.
The Los Banos Police Department says dispatch fist received calls around 2:00 a.m. for reports of gunshots in the 2000 block of Edward Street.
When officers arrived, they learned that several people forced their way into a home.
APD officers responded Friday at around 1:10 a.m. to reports of shots fired at an apartment complex, just south of San Mateo Boulevard and Osuna Road. They arrived and found a man dead with gunshot wounds.
Detectives investigated and say the man tried forcing his way into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment after a dispute. Her friend then stepped in and shot him.
After consulting with the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office, however, APD stated no charges will be filed at this time.

A Maryland man who was in the United States legally was deported to El Salvador and imprisoned there because of an “administrative error,” Trump administration officials said in a court filing on Monday, adding that American courts lacked the jurisdiction to have him released.If only we had a thing called to prevent this sort of fuckup. Maybe we could call it something like, oh, I dunno, "Due Process of Law" or something like that.
The man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, had lived in the United States under protected legal status since October 2019. His wife and 5-year-old child are both U.S. citizens.

The sports world is abuzz about the Yankees winning a ball game with something called a "torpedo bat". It's actually nothing new. Every kid who ever played sandlot ball knows that some bats work for you and some don't.
Evidently, the batting coach did some analytics and found that each hitter is different and had some bats made that match the hitter. Good analytics, because it worked for him. But every kid who ever played baseball knows that a bat has a sweet spot, and when you connect that spot with the ball, magic happens. That same kid knows that if you can get to West Main Street in Louisville, the factory will make a bat designed just for you.
Baseball will survive the torpedo bat, just as surely as it survived lights on the field. Every good pitcher knows his hitter, and if he's hitting low and away, then give him high and inside. Work the corners and keep him guessing.

Amazon, Tacoma Screw, McMaster-Carr, no luck. Tacoma Screw did have Taiwaneae made.
When he got to the garage, he noticed the door had been opened. That's when he found a man inside his wife's car in the driveway.
The man got out of the wife's car and started moving down the driveway. Houston police said the homeowner told him to stop. According to HPD, it was dark outside and the man made a quick movement, prompting the homeowner to open fire twice, hitting the man once in the arm and once in the leg.
The homeowner yelled at his wife to call 911 and get help as he stayed with the man.
The Houston Fire Department quickly arrived to the scene and brought the man to an area hospital where he is expected to survive. He is expected to face burglary charges.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office will investigate this incident to determine whether any charges will be filed on the homeowner.
In an interview with NBC10, Philadelphia Police Department Captain Shaun Butts said that police were initially unclear on the circumstances that led to the shooting.
However, in a noon update, law enforcement officials said the 70-year-old homeowner was cooperating with the investigation and investigators believe the man who died was killed during an attempted burglary.
An investigation into this incident is ongoing, officials said.
A preliminary investigation determined that the father was in the process of moving out of the home, Stephens said, and the son and his friend were assisting him. He said the mother, who had been estranged from the husband and has been living in a different town, had arrived to help.
Stephens said an argument ensued between the mother and father, and the son and friend tried to intervene. The father, who was armed, shot both the mother and son.
Then, Stephens said, the son's friend, who has a legal firearms permit, took out his registered weapon and shot the father. He said the man then called 911.
"It appears he was defending himself when he shot and killed (the husband). He was fearing for his life," Stephens said of the son's friend, adding that he was "very distraught" when called 911.
State Supreme Court races are normally as interesting as planning commission meetings, but somehow, this race in Wisconsin is being hyped as the harbinger of doom for the Republic.
I don't get it. Democrats, after their ignominious defeat in November, are searching for their muse, their path from the wilderness, and Republicans are having a good time watching them try. But, this race has garnered a bunch of attention and a whole lot of money. It seems that this race, like all races, will be based on turnout and whoever gets more voters to the poll will win. That is all political races.
I would think that there are far more important races, like the congressional special elections in Florida. Those might flip the House to the Democrats, or make it harder to sustain a majority later. Maybe I'm not looking at it in the right vein, but a SUpreme COurt seat in Wisconsin? I really don't get it.

I hope so, because that’s why we posed it that way. Nostalgia is a thing. The efficient use of the double-action, swing-out cylinder revolver seems […]Paris and Marseilles are crowded and noisy. Bern and Basel in Switzerland was also crowded and noisy. Our hotel in the suburbs of Bern was quiet.
Food
The food was often surprising. Not bad or good, just different. We were desperate for something fast in Marseilles, so we ordered at a kiosk in a McDonald's on the corner from our hotel. The fries were awful. Ther Big Mac was different in some way that I cannot articulate. It was okay, just not home. By comparison, the Burger King fries in Basel, Switzerland were indistinguishable from home.
There were a number of meals that were only okay. My daughter and wife were ga-ga over how good everything was. I did not feel their amazement. I wonder if our ten mile days might have contributed to how much they enjoyed their meals. The French onion soup around the corner from Nortre Dame was completely typical of what I get here. The croissants were wonderful, but not immediately superior to what I get in any supermarket here.
Safety
I felt safe in all of these cities. French police in the Paris train station, the Louvre, and Eiffel Tower, were all carrying M4s. Even in the subways, I felt reasonably safe. The streets were clean. Public rerestrooms were generally clean. Beggars were less common in Paris than San Francisco (admitedly, a low bar to beat, but simlar to Boise). I saw one beggar in Switzerland. There were few obviously homeless people in any city we visited.
Diverse
One of the consequences of imperial France's insistence that all their colonial possession citizens were little Frenchmen, regardless of skin color, is that France is very diverse. While some Muslim women were wearing hijabs, most were not. My interactions with Muslims in customer-facing roles seemed friendly and appropriate. Admittedly, I did not go into any of the bad sections of Paris.
Curiously, an East Indian woman told my daughter that the crime problem only became an issue with Africans arriving. Whether this perception reflects reality, I do not know.
Friendliness
Everyone but one person in a tourist-facing role was friendly and kind, contrary to the stereotpe of difficult Frenchmen.
Language
The conquest of the Middle East by Alexander the Great created a single dominant culture with a common secondary language, Greek. The Internet and American dominance in culture has done the same for English. While the customer-facing people all spoke and understood English, they were grateful when my wife and daughter attempted French. At least no one served us a chocolate-covered tractor.

Milwaukee —
A 23-year-old was fatally shot Wednesday morning after pointing a fake gun at another person, prompting them to open fire, Milwaukee police said.
The shooting occurred around 8:45 a.m. on Hope Avenue, near 81st Street, in the Arlington Gardens neighborhood. A WISN 12 News photojournalist saw police gathered in the parking lot of the Covenant Lutheran Church.
According to police, the 23-year-old pointed what was later determined to be a replica firearm at a 24-year-old man.
While detectives were on the scene, FPD said that a person involved in the incident came to the department.
“During the investigation, it was learned that the deceased juvenile and another juvenile planned to rob the other party involved,” FPD said. “Florence Police Department Detectives worked into the early morning hours, serving search warrants in Franklin County and Colbert County with the assistance of the Florence/Lauderdale SWAT Team.”
A 57-year-old man at the scene said he was getting into his vehicle when
a white car pulled up with two young men in it, the affidavit said. One
of the men in the car said they were there “to serve a hit.” After
saying something to them, the man went back to the house to tell the man
who lived there what had happened.
The 59-year-old resident armed himself with a .40-caliber pistol and went outside as the white car turned around, turned off its lights and sped toward the house, the affidavit said. When someone in the car fired at his house, the resident shot back.
Deputies found several 9-millimeter shell casings in the street, as well as four bullet holes in the man’s house, the affidavit said.
While deputies were at the scene, they were told that two men had just arrived at Astria Toppenish Hospital, one of them with a gunshot wound to his right thigh. At the hospital, deputies saw a white Nisan Altima that had a bullet hole in the center of the passenger door, two 9 mm shell casings by the base of the windshield and one shell casing at the base of the rear window.
