To make the most delicious pork chops, **start with thick-cut chops (at least 1 inch thick)**, season them well, and cook them in a hot skillet for a good sear before finishing in the oven. Let them rest after cooking to keep them juicy and flavorful.
Key Ingredients for Delicious Pork Chops
To create the most flavorful pork chops, focus on the following essential ingredients:
Ingredient
Description
Pork Chops
Choose thick-cut chops (at least 1 inch thick) for juiciness. Bone-in chops can add more flavor.
Seasoning
Use kosher salt, black pepper, and your favorite spice rub (e.g., garlic powder, paprika).
Oil
A neutral oil with a high smoke point, like avocado or vegetable oil, is ideal for searing.
Optional Sauce
Consider making a simple pan sauce with butter, garlic, and herbs for added flavor.
Cooking Method
Preparation Steps
1. Bring to Room Temperature: Remove pork chops from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
2. Season: Generously season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper. You can also rub in your spice mix.
3. Sear: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust.
Finishing in the Oven
1. Transfer to Oven: After searing, move the skillet to a preheated oven (around 400°F or 200°C) to finish cooking. This helps retain moisture.
2. Cooking Time: Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
3. Rest: Let the pork chops rest for at least 3 minutes before serving. This step is crucial for keeping them juicy.
Tips for Perfect Pork Chops
• Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure perfect doneness, use a probe thermometer to check the internal temperature.
• Avoid Brining: Brining can alter the texture of pork chops; proper seasoning and cooking methods are sufficient for moisture.
• Experiment with Sauces: Enhance your dish with a simple pan sauce made from the drippings, adding flavor and richness.
By following these steps and tips, you can create pork chops that are tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor.
Truth be told, I never tried the recipe that got discombobulated. I don't use recipes.

Nick Freitas: " Here Is How The Next Civil War Will Start"
6/6/26:
Rich Lowry in an article at NY Post (link via Powerline) seems to be echoing Freitas here.
Lowry is a bit more subtle and restained. He is, after all, a National Review guy. Lowry could be a Cornyn type: all talk and no action.
6/5/26:
Folks who talk Civil War haven't thought it all out. I'm convinced of that. I have thought so since I first heard of it. If you think there's gonna be a war, you start preparing for it. Even if the idea is not to fight, you'll prepare for it. Where's the war preps?
yesterday:
Well, this is a real bonafide argument right here.
It only describes how it will develop, not how it will go.
My question is this: How much do you want victory? It seems to me that the answer is "Not very much". We can't even get simple things done when we have power. We allow them to stop us, and then we have others that are supposedly with us, who turn around and betray us. It is why nothing gets done.
If it happens the way he envisions, it won't be much of a rebellion. He imagines a love for the conservative way that is hard for me to see how that is so. If the love for the conservative was all that strong, then how did we get to this point in the first place? It does appear to be trending our way in some areas, but it needs to come together fast. Not happening nearly fast enough in my opinion.
We'll see.

Not a smart way to use your head
Ball bounces off outfielder's head, goes over the fence for a home-run.
Sounds like James Carville to me. Carville is endorsing a Nazi on the grounds that it will beat who they claim to be a Nazi---Trump.
My first inclination is to get mad at Carville. But the dude is going to keep the Nazi on the ballot, then let Carville run his crazy mouth.

Off his glove, off his head, and out!

Bongino show 6/5/26; This point is a good one
Better to let him say it, so I jipped in where he starts on the point...
Politics is not about solving problems
6/5/26:
"Nobody really wants to do that." A bit of doomerism there. There's a lot of hyperbole in politics and that "nobody" part was hyperbole. Doomerism is the hyperbole that claims that nothing is getting done. A few things are getting done, but things are not moving as fast as we would like. The system is built that way.
I added this to my reaction posts because of that tendency to hype things a bit. I don't want to hype things. I want to be accurate as possible. Things are getting done, and to say nothing is getting done is doomer stuff. I don't want to go down that road. It IS definitely true that things are being obstructed. That's absolutely true. No question about that one.

Because it seems to me that nobody really wants to do that.
When I say "nobody", all I have to do is look at the experience of this blog. If this blog has been about anything, it is about solving problems. It is also about the political class' total disinterest in doing anything like that.
No, the NFL nonsense is designed to make people mad. That isn't going to solve any problems.
Colin Kaepernick took a knee because he wanted to piss off a lot of people who pay his bills for him. He has the right to disagree. He does not have the right to disrespect the nation while making a spectacle of himself, and then expect no blowback.
John McCain refuses to honor his promise because he just wants to make people mad. He also gets some love from people who don't really give a damn about him or anybody else but themselves. If John McCain really meant it about public service, like he claims he does, he wouldn't cooperate with Democrats to sink a bill that would honor his own promise. He would at least serve his constituents who voted for him. But what does his constituents think? Do they really like what they get from this bozo?
People want red meat because it is fun to bash the other side. They all love it so. Me too. I admit it.
But the problems remain. We are no better off for all this nonsense. Except the politicians seem to continue in their jobs, and the problems mount.
If we really have to divide up into opposing camps, then I might be on the side of those who call themselves "the right". I probably shouldn't though. For to do so is letting them off the hook for not getting anything done. Their time is now, not some unforeseen moment in the future when the time is right.
There are no more excuses. Suck it up, and get it done. My vote is no longer something you can count on, assholes. It is time to stop being assholes, and do your jobs.

Americans want to know how it got so bad in Great Britain
We already know, but this appears to be a Brit, and I think the Brits must all have their heads up their a-holes. So do we in the USA, but not everybody has gone full bonkers. Yet.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Gives Update Following Surgery for Husband Abraham Williams
The Conservative Treehouse
Comment:
Same thing I was diagosed with--sacral chordoma.
He had a surgery, I elected to have proton therapy, which is a type of radiation.
He seems rather young. But I suppose this condition can crop up at any age, but most likely than not, at an older age than what he appears to be.
Chordomas can happen at young ages, but those who get it in younger ages tend to get it closer to the skull according to age. That is to say, a young person gets it in the skull, someone older, perhaps the neck, and someone OLD like me, in the sacrum.
Every case is different, I suspect. I have survived mine by nine years so far. The average lifespan after diagnosis back when I got it was five years. Let us hope Mr. Williams will have a lot of life left.
