“Lindsey Graham leaves impeachment crying, even though his guy won.
A day after former President Donald Trump won his second Senate impeachment trial, bipartisan support appeared to be growing for an independent Sept. 11-style commission into the deadly insurrection that took place at the U.S. Capitol.
Investigations into the riot were already planned, with Senate hearings scheduled later this month in the Senate Rules Committee. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has asked retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré to lead an immediate review of the Capitol’s security process.
Lawmakers from both parties, speaking on Sunday’s news shows, signaled that even more inquiries were likely. The Senate verdict Saturday, with its 57-43 majority falling 10 votes short of the two-thirds needed to convict Trump, hardly put to rest the debate about the former president’s culpability for the Jan. 6 assault.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke to reporters about his brief escape to Cancun, Mexico this week as his state suffered a devastating winter freeze and power crisis.
“It was obviously a mistake,” Cruz acknowledged. “In hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it. I was trying to be a Dad.”
“One of the largest makers of voting machines in the U.S. on Monday sued a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, alleging that the businessman had defamed the company with false accusations that it had rigged the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
Dominion Voting Systems sued Mike Lindell, chief executive of Minnesota-based MyPillow Inc., and his company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking more than $1.3 billion in damages.
“The U.S. Capitol Police has suspended six officers with pay for their actions on Jan. 6, when a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of President Biden’s Electoral College victory, according to a department statement.
An additional 29 officers remain under investigation as part of the department’s ongoing probe into the events that unfolded that day.
“This 32 ft traditional canvas yurt is a beautiful one-of-a-kind 4-season yurt inspired by nature. It has been modified for the West Coast climate by adding a shingled roof, wooden siding, and extra insulation. From the outside, it looks like a round cabin but the interior still looks exactly like a yurt with canvas covers, lattice walls, and wooden roof rafters.
The yurt is inspired by Elvin architecture from The Lord of the Rings, with some intricately hand-carved elements including the impressive front door and the spiral staircase. The open concept interior is bright and filled with plants, and it’s also a fully functional living space with a full kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room and a loft bedroom. There’s also an addition with another bedroom, and a small utility room with a washing machine and extra storage space.”
“If you are the proud owner of a cast iron skillet, then you might believe some of the most oft-told tales about what you should and shouldn’t do with cast iron cookware. There’s so many stories out there that reaching for a cast iron skillet, pot, or pan can seem a little intimidating, but don’t worry — the truth isn’t as complicated as you might think.
First, the good news! Cast iron is actually very low-maintenance once you know how to properly care for it, and it’s very durable. If properly cared for, there’s no need to worry about anything going awry.
There’s an idea floating around the cast iron community that the pans are delicate, but there are some that have stuck around through generations. Need proof? Head to an antique store, estate sale, thrift shop, or auction. Chances are pretty good that you’ll see some cast iron cookware that’s been passed down for years, and that doesn’t really make you think “delicate,” right?
The biggest myth around cast iron skillets is that they cannot be washed with dish soap, as it’ll ruin the seasoning. Though dish soap is made to strip oil, it cannot remove the skillet’s seasoning because the seasoning itself is not just a coating of oil.
You build up a skillet’s seasoning by pouring a small amount of oil into the hot pan and smoothing it over the surface with a paper towel. By heating the pan as you smear the oil, the oil cooks onto the pan and chemically attaches itself to the metal. While you definitely shouldn’t soak the skillet in soapy water, using a bit of dish soap and warm water to clean your pan will not do any long-lasting damage.
After your skillet has been cleaned, you should re-season it, too. It’s another falsehood that pre-seasoned pans don’t have to ever be seasoned again. To do so, you can place the skillet on a burner set to the highest heat to let the remaining water evaporate. After the skillet is dry, just add and spread your oil. When it smokes, smear it around again and remove it from the heat to cool.
It’s that easy! Now, there’s no more kitchen confusion… about cleaning your cast iron, at least.
