Spiked White Chocolate Mousse

Dairy / Serves 8-10

By Naomi Nachman

My friend Naomi Levi from Switzerland gave me this recipe. I started playing around with it and decided to add some Irish whiskey for an extra kick. I make this in advance as it freezes really well.

Ingredients

◦ 3 bars good-quality white chocolate (about 10½ oz or 300 g)

◦ 2 eggs, lightly beaten

◦ 2 cups heavy cream

◦ ¼ cup Irish cream whiskey

Preparation

1. Place chocolate in a glass bowl over a simmering pot. Allow to melt, stirring continuously until it’s very smooth. Allow to cool slightly and mix in the eggs.

2. Combine the heavy cream and Irish whiskey and beat to soft peaks. Fold the chocolate and eggs into the whipped cream.

3. Refrigerate for 2 hours until it sets.

“Say What?!”

The New York Times buried this [story about a man who was arrested outside of Justice Kavanaugh’s home with a gun and zip ties and who confessed that he planned on killing the Supreme Court justice]. If this had been a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, it would have been on the front page. And that’s what’s so disappointing about a paper like The New York Times, because they just wear their bias on their sleeves and they — “if it’s not part of something that feeds our narrative, [forget] it. We bury it.”

- Bill Maher, HBO

I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.

- Sen Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) threatening the conservative Supreme Court justices during a rally in 2020, in comments that some speculate may have led to the assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh last week

- Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on Fox News

And in the middle of all of this murk and mayhem here comes Vice President Harris. She told us she has had an epiphany. She has discovered the root cause of illegal immigration and what we should do about it. She wants American companies to invest $3 billion, not in America, but in Central American countries.

– Ibid.

She really said that. If the vice president were here right now, I would say respectfully, Madam Vice President, there is no force in history, none, more powerful than self-delusion. The root cause of illegal immigration is that people are coming into our country illegally, and people are coming into our country illegally because you and President Biden are letting them in. Enforce the law. Do what we were doing the day before you took office. And the American people understand that. And that’s why President Biden is about as popular right now as a sinkhole.

- Ibid.

I loved it. We drove around and people were out at the curb, and they all waved and it was just like some parades… They made quite a fuss over me

- Fidalia “Dale” Breunig, of Wisconsin, who celebrated her 100th birthday in style by riding on a fire truck

Keep busy and keep moving.

- Ibid., giving advice on staying healthy during old age

I got it and drove it from Michigan to here this last weekend and went by every single gas station, and it didn’t matter how high it was.

— Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) laughing that gas prices don’t matter because she has an electric vehicle

People often ask me why my Telegram posts are so harsh. The answer is that I hate them. They are [idiots] and [garbage]. They want death for us, for Russia. And as long as I’m alive, I’ll do anything I can to make them disappear.

- Telegram post by Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia and close Putin ally

Apparently, dogs are better at detecting Covid than rapid tests, which explains now when you take an at-home test, the instructions look a little different. Yeah, now the steps are: “One, open package. Two, remove at-home Covid test. Three, walk and feed at-home Covid test.”

— Jimmy Fallon

WHAT IS THE REPUBLICAN PLAN TO COMBAT INFLATION?

The same folks who say we should carry a gun in the classroom they are the ones who are saying they don’t trust us to pick out the appropriate books and curriculum for our nation’s kids. So I ask these politicians this: If we have the judgement to shoot a bad guy why don’t we have the judgement to plan our lessons?

- Randi Weingarten, president of the leftwing American Federation of Teachers union, at a rally in Washington, once again inserting politics into issues about children’s safety

In the 18 months since January 6, gas prices have doubled. Drug ODs have reached their highest point ever. The U.S. economy is now careening toward a devastating recession at best and scariest and least noted of all, this country has never in its history been closer to a nuclear war.

Yet the other networks can’t be bothered to cover any of that tonight. Instead, they’ve interrupted their regularly scheduled programing to bring you yet another extended primetime harangue from Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney about Donald Trump and QAnon. The whole thing is insulting.

In fact, it’s deranged, and we’re not playing along. This is the only hour on an American news channel that will not be carrying their propaganda live. They are lying, and we are not going to help them do it.

We hated seeing vandalism at the U.S. Capitol a year and a half ago, and we said so at the time, but we did not think it was an insurrection because it was not an insurrection. It was not even close to an insurrection. Not a single person in the crowd that day was found to be carrying a firearm – some insurrection. In fact, the only person who wound up shot to death was a protester.

She was a 36-year-old military veteran called Ashli Babbitt. Babbitt was just over 5 feet tall. She was unarmed. She posed no conceivable threat to anyone, but Capitol Hill Police shot her in the neck and never explained why that was justified. Those are the facts of January 6, but since the very first hours, they have been distorted beyond recognition, relentlessly culminating with last night.

Last night, CBS Nightly News told its viewers that insurrectionists at the Capitol on January 6 “caused the deaths of five police officers.” That is a pure lie. There is nothing true about it, and they know that perfectly well.

- Tucker Carlson, Fox News, explaining why his network did not air the Jan. 6th hearings, unlike CNN, NBC, etc., who interrupted their regular programming to show the hearing live in its totality I am disgusted and outraged at the outright lie by Jason Miller and Bill Steppien. I was upset that they were not prepared for the massive cheating (as well as other lawyers around the President) I REFUSED all alcohol that evening. My favorite drink...Diet Pepsi.

- Tweet by Rudy Giuliani, responding to some in the Trump camp who claim that Giuliani was drunk on election night and gave Pres. Trump bad advice

We believe she was an unwilling participant during the incident, nor do we believe she was ever in control of the vehicle.

- Michigan police after a vehicle they were chasing crashed, the driver fled, and the police noticed a small alligator in the front passenger seat
