Enjoy the 4th: My “World Famous Patriot Ribs” Recipe

These ribs really are world famous.

Since I originally posted this recipe in 2009, I’ve received positive feedback from people all over the planet (including from American states that are known for their own awesome ribs).

Well-meaning BBQ aficionados tell me my ribs should have a little more “bite,” but I’ve found the average guy and gal loves having that meat simply fall off the bone.

So, the Patriot Rib recipe is what it is—a delicious crowd pleaser!

By the way, I’ve updated the recipe a bit over the years, with the help of my professional chef son, so this is the latest and greatest version!

Here’s the recipe:

Remove the ribs from the wrapping. DO NOT rinse the ribs. Place the ribs bone-side down in a ceramic, or glass, baking pan. Cover both sides of the ribs with BBQ rib rub of choice (I prefer Kirkland’s Sweet Mesquite BBQ Rub from Costco, but if you have a favorite use it!).  By the way, St. Louis pork ribs work just as well as the baby backs (I cannot guarantee this recipe for beef ribs).

Next, give your hands a good wash  and then pour a nice stout beer (I prefer Guinness Stout)) into the pan, a little less than an inch deep.  Do not try this with anything other than a dark stout beer or the ribs will be ruined.

Cover with aluminum foil and let the ribs sit for an hour on the kitchen counter.

Preheat your oven to 320.  Bake the ribs (in the pan, with the beer, covered with foil) for two hours.

Next, turn off the oven. Let the ribs remain in the closed oven for another 45-minutes.

While the ribs are sitting in the oven,  fire up your BBQ/grill and get the cooking grate nice and hot.

Now we’re ready for “show time.”  Take the ribs out of the oven, and out of the pan, and place directly onto the grate, meat side down. Slather a nice thin layer of sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is a big winner in my household) onto the bone side. Let them cook for 5-minutes.

Next, flip the ribs so the bone side is now down (you may have a rib or two fall away from the meat, but it’s going to be oh, so sweet to eat!).

Slather that sauce onto the meat side. Let them cook for a good 5-minutes  This will allow the sauce to caramelize.

Finally, get those ribs off the grill and onto a big serving plate!  Once served, the meat will literally fall off the bone. If your guests want additional sauce on their ribs make it available—and don’t forget a roll of paper towels in the middle of the table.

God bless you, your family, and America!

Enjoy the ribs!

 

And they skipped over Roe…

For the past 50 years some of us have been praying that Roe v Wade would be, somehow, overturned.

It’s happened.

Amazing how many Christian churches purposefully decided not to talk about it on this Sunday following the monumental decision.

Fear of offending certain members or people attending their congregation? Fear of losing attendees? Fear of reduced tithes and offerings?

Maybe I’m missing something or being too judgmental.

God have mercy.

Why Does The Left Hate America?

The Left insists, “The American flag stands for hatred, warmongering, and imperialism.”

They teach that, “Our free-market system is responsible for killing and oppressing millions of people.”

They shout, “This country breeds racists and sexists.”

Really?

It is if you accept the lies and propaganda from the anti-American Left in our own country. This dismal, distorted view of the greatest, freest nation in history comes from a Left who would rather idolize Marx than Madison,  and Castro more than Jefferson.  These are the people who burn down businesses and destroy property to protest free markets and who fight alongside radical terrorists rather than against them. They trample the Constitution while hiding behind the First Amendment.  Their idea of displaying the American flag is setting it on fire and parading it through the streets.

Yes, this is a Left comprised of people who truly hate their country, and they will stop at nothing to tear her down—smashing our liberty in the process.

Kevin Hart is a popular comedian, and seems to be a nice enough guy, but he wasn’t joking when he told The New York Times that, “You’re witnessing white power and white privilege at an all-time high.”

Again, really? If that were true, why would so many Black people come to America from Africa and the Caribbean? Don’t they know what Hart and white progressive elites keep telling us: that America suffers from systemic racism and white supremacy?

But how bad can a country really be, these leftists might want to ask themselves, if it allows its citizens to publicly denounce it, with no fear of being sent to an American gulag? Try that in China and, you’ll be lucky if you don’t wind up dead or behind bars. At the least you’ll find yourself in a “reeducation camp.”

According the Gallup, America is one of the least racist countries in the world, far behind Egypt (ranked No. 1), Russia (No. 4), Japan (No. 9).

In wealth, America is in the top few if you leave out the fortuitous wealth of small oil countries like Qatar and Kuwait. Wealth does not make a country good, but poverty can certainly make it bad.

In economic freedom, America ranks fourth out of 162 countries. Socialist paradise Venezuela ranks dead last. Huh, go figure.

Americans have won the most Nobel Prizes. In fact, we’ve won nearly triple the number of the second-highest country, and about the same number as countries second through sixth combined.

But never mind all that.

Elon Musk sparked a firestorm in April by tweeting a meme that calls out the radical drift of left-wing politics in America, showing how the rise of the ultra-left has made people like him suddenly seem right-of-center though their views haven’t changed.

Why the uproar? Because the meme is spot on. As Musk explained in a follow-up, “I strongly supported Obama for president, but today’s Democratic Party has been hijacked by extremists.”

The American left has, over the past decade and a half, gone insane. I believe it’s actually spiritually motivated.

I talk about this in my current podcast, #142 Why The Left Hates America.

Friends, we can’t remain on the sideline. Faith, family, and freedom are under attack. Truly the real ache in the hearts of leaders on the Left is a hole in their hearts that can only be filled with the Love of Jesus.

The Left Unleashed: Special Podcast

Pro-Abortion radicals have been unleashed to attack the sacred institutions designed by God for a civil society: the traditional family, our constitutional republic, and the Bible believing people who compose His church.

Think about it, our children are being taught men can have babies; our brilliant constitutional republic is being dismissed as outdated and in dire need of a makeover that would please Marx, not Madison; and the Christian men and women who compose the church are labeled intolerant haters.

These are perilous times, and the persecution of  Christians in America is beginning to unfurl.

In this special edition of The Brian Sussman Show Podcast I detail the role of these institutions, and discuss why the left is so outraged by the recent Supreme Court leak which could signal the end of Roe v Wade, thus finally putting an end to federal abortion laws in the United States of America.

 

When Lawmakers and Media Collude: CA Infanticide Bill 2223

I was one of the first to break the news about California Assembly Bill 2223, which WOULD legalize infanticide. My article was first published by World Net Daily, and then on my website.

After having spent 40-years in broadcast media, which includes my very first job out of college running a television newsroom for the ABC-TV affiliate in Columbia, Missouri, I know how slick-tongued journalists operate: they cleverly understand which facts to conveniently leave out. I’ll walk you through the process in a moment.

Note, AB 2223 never uses the terms infanticide or post-birth abortion. Instead it relies on the word “perinatal” to fulfill its evil deeds. Before I get to the bill’s language, here’s how the State of California defines perinatal:

California Department of Health Title 22 CPSP Regulations § 51179:

Comprehensive Perinatal Services “Comprehensive perinatal services” means obstetric, psychosocial, nutrition, and health education services, and related case coordination provided by or under the personal supervision of a physician during pregnancy and 60 days following delivery.

Thus, perinatal includes the first 60-days of a child’s life.

Here’s the text from the portion in question (colored highlights, italicization and cross-outs are in the text):

SEC. 7.

 Section 123467 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

123467.

 (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise deprived of their rights, rights under this article, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death. death due to a pregnancy-related cause.
(b) A person who aids or assists a pregnant person in exercising their rights under this article shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise be deprived of their rights, based solely on their actions to aid or assist a pregnant person in exercising their rights under this article with the pregnant person’s voluntary consent.

But there’s more. AB 2223 would also amend existing state law to change the scope of coroners’ inquiries to exclude “deaths related to or following known or suspected self-induced or criminal abortion.” It redefines an unauthorized abortion to exclude any self-abortions committed by the woman herself.

AB 2223 also exempts from prosecution those who assist in committing an abortion or perinatal death.  It adds a private cause of action against the state for violations of the proposed law, plus a provision for recovering attorneys’ fees. In other words, by adding in the attorneys’ fees provision, slimy lawyers would be incentivized to sue any police officer or coroner who investigates an infant’s death.

So, here’s how the public is deceived:

Today, a huge protest is going to take place in Sacramento just before the Assembly Health Committee meets to vote on moving AB 2223 forward. Democrats are worried by the bad publicity this could bring to their bill. So, they rally their allies in the media to write, “fact checks” meant to debunk critics of 2223. All the fact checks say the same thing: “the bill does not legalize infanticide.”

This morning the Sacramento Bee newspaper put out its fact-check, quoting the author of the bill, Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks:

 “Anti-abortion activists are peddling an absurd and disingenuous argument that this bill is about killing newborns, when ironically, the part of the bill they’re pointing to is about protecting and supporting parents experiencing the grief of pregnancy loss,” Wicks said in a statement. “No person should face prison time for a tragic pregnancy outcome, and this bill will ensure that prosecutions and investigations have no place in reproductive health care.”

Yeah, right.  Excellent rhetoric from the school of How to Deceive Eve.

Even if the perinatal clause is dropped, the democrats will have won a big one, because abortion in California will be legal for up to 9-months.
