Just Who Is the American Hitler, Really?

When I moved into my house almost a decade ago, one of the first things I did after getting settled was have my water tested. My family drinks tons of water, and even back then, I never liked drinking out of plastic water bottles because of all the waste and the uncertainty surrounding BPA. When the test results came back, I was happy to learn that there weren't any dangerous chemicals in my home's tap water. Unfortunately, that didn't change the fact that our water was very "hard" and had a terrible chlorine taste. Waterdrop X16 Tankless Reverse Osmosis System, NSF/ANSI 58&372 Certified, 1600 GPD RO Water Fil… Price: $1,299.00 Buy Now Waterdrop G3P800 Reverse Osmosis System, 800 GPD Fast Flow, NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 & 58 & 372 Certifi… Price: $699.00 You Save: $300.00 (30%) Buy Now I ended up having a reverse osmosis water filter system installed under our kitchen sink, but I was never really happy with it. First of all, it had a big tank that didn't leave room for anything else. And second, the water dispenser was painfully slow, to the point where filling a 16-ounce glass of water would take almost a minute. After living with it for years, I finally decided to do some research and upgrade my RO system. I landed on the Waterdrop Filter G3P800, which is one of two premium reverse osmosis systems from Waterdrop that are currently on sale with huge discounts ahead of Prime Day 2024. The other is the Waterdrop Filter X16, which is one of the sleekest and most sophisticated RO systems you can get. Both of these top-of-the-line RO systems are currently on sale at the lowest prices of the year for Prime Day. After having used one personally for the past couple of years, I can attest to the fact that these are among the best tankless reverse osmosis systems you can get. I couldn't be happier with mine, and I'll explain why you should take advantage of this big sale and get one for your family. The only thing to keep in mind is that these sales are only available from July 8 through July 17. Once Prime Day is over, there's no telling when you'll find deals this good again on Waterdrop RO systems. Waterdrop Filter X series-X16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kYBhODz7p8 Anyone looking for the best possible RO setup should look no further than the Waterdrop Filter X16 reverse osmosis system. I love my G3P800, but I might have opted for the X16 instead if it had been available when I was shopping for my family. Waterdrop X16 Tankless Reverse Osmosis System, NSF/ANSI 58&372 Certified, 1600 GPD RO Water Fil… Price: $1,299.00 Buy Now The stunning design of the X16 filter and the water tap are probably the first things you notice about the Waterdrop X16. But when you're comparing RO systems for your family, performance is obviously the most important thing. Waterdrop's X16 system dispenses incredibly pure water thanks to a best-in-class 11-phase water filtration setup. According to Waterdrop, the system filters out up to 99.99% of harmful substances. Importantly, that's not just an empty promise on paper. X Series RO systems have been certified by the NSF, SGS, FCC, and others that ensure water quality standards. This model also includes Waterdrop's PCC rock activation technology, giving your water the perfect amount of minerals to leave it tasting great. Some RO systems do a good job of filtering, but they also ruin the taste of your water. That's definitely not the case with Waterdrop systems like the X16. Image source: Waterdrop Moving on to the design, the Waterdrop Filter X16 is a tankless RO system that can fit in the tightest spaces under your sink. It has a segment-leading 3:1 wastewater ratio, so you waste far less water than you might with a comparable system from another brand. You'll also save money on your water bill, which is an added bonus. One of my favorite features of the X16 is Waterdrop's touch tap. It's probably the coolest water dispenser I've ever seen on an RO system. It turns on or off with a simple tap, and it can fill a glass of water in as little as 3 seconds. There's also a built-in LED display that shows you real-time TDS readings and lets you know when it's time to replace a filter. Waterdrop X16 Tankless Reverse Osmosis System, NSF/ANSI 58&372 Certified, 1600 GPD RO Water Fil… Price: $1,299.00 Buy Now The Waterdrop X16 Filter RO system retails for $1,999, but it's on sale for $1,299 for Prime Day 2024. This discounted price is only good through July 17. Waterdrop Filter G3P800 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktjOcAkAqQ4 The second RO system that's included in Waterdrop's big Prime Day sale is a model that I am personally quite familiar with. It's called the Waterdrop Filter G3P800, and my family has been using this reverse osmosis system for the past couple of years. Waterdrop G3P800 Reverse Osmosis System, 800 GPD Fast Flow, NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 & 58 & 372 Certifi… Price: $699.00 You Save: $300.00 (30%) Buy Now One of my favorite things about this system is how good my water tastes. Without the filter, my water sometimes has such a strong chlorine taste that it's undrinkable. After passing through the Waterdrop G3P800, however, it tastes like delicious mineral water. The great taste is thanks mainly to the 9-stage filtration system that has been tested and verified by SGS, a third-party lab. It's certified by IAPMO R&T for the reduction of TDS, and it's also certified against NSF 42 & 53 to reduce chlorination, bad taste, and odor. Image source: Waterdrop Another contributing factor that makes the water taste so great is what happens to the water after it passes through the filtration system. Before it reaches the tap, water goes through a special UV sterilizer light that comes with the Waterdrop Filter G3P800 RO system. Waterdrop says it has a 99.9% sterilization rate, and I can definitely taste the difference compared to my old RO filter. Apart from the taste and excellent filtration, the other thing I love about the G3P800 is the flow rate. I actually timed my old RO system before I switched to the Waterdrop model, and it took 57 seconds to fill a 16-ounce glass of water. It was awful. After installing and flushing my Waterdrop G3P800, I timed how long it took to fill the same 16-ounce glass of water. It filled to the very top in just 11 seconds, making it a game-changer for my family. And if you're filling a smaller, normal-sized glass of water, it only takes about 6 seconds. Waterdrop G3P800 Reverse Osmosis System, 800 GPD Fast Flow, NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 & 58 & 372 Certifi… Price: $699.00 You Save: $300.00 (30%) Buy Now I got my Waterdrop Filter G3P800 reverse osmosis system on sale for about $850 when I bought it back in 2022, and it has been worth every penny. With Waterdrop's current Prime Day 2024 deal, however, you'll pay just $699 for this awesome system. Again, this sale is scheduled to last from July 8 through July 17. After that, there's no telling when the Waterdrop G3P800 will be available at this price again.

These perfectly seasoned and marinated Chicken Fried Steak Fingers are so tender from the buttermilk soak and have the perfect crispy, golden brown breading! EASY TENDER JUICY STEAK FINGERS RECIPE I love these Chicken Fried Steak Fingers! I fell in love with them when we lived in Texas. I had always LOVED Chicken Fried Chicken, but I didn’t actually eat reallllly good Chicken Fried Steak until we moved to Texas and ever since then, I’ve been head over heels for these things. I love that I can still enjoy these no matter where we live. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  How thick do I want the cubed steaks? You want to make sure that your cubed steaks are less than ½ inch thick. If they are thicker than that, it will result in a tougher steak. When looking in the grocery store, look for the thinnest ones you can find, oftentimes they’ll still need to be pounded down to get thin enough. Just use a meat mallet to get them to the appropriate size. Can I make Chicken Fried Steak Fingers ahead of time and freeze them? If you would like to make this ahead of time, I would recommend following all instructions and cooking the chicken fried steak fingers and then freezing, rather than freezing the uncooked breaded meat.  Gravy does not freeze well, so I would recommend making that fresh when ready to serve.   What size pan should I use? I used my 12-inch cast iron pan. It is large enough to fit several pieces of meat and is tall enough to deep fry food in. If you don’t have one that size, you may need to cook them in more batches. Why should I soak in buttermilk? Soaking in buttermilk is highly recommended so you can get the meat nice and tender. While it’s not absolutely a MUST do if you’re out of it or don’t want to, it is something that I highly recommend so you can get the most tender, best quality Chicken Fried Steak Fingers. Do I have to make the gravy from scratch? No way. If you don’t want to go through the work of the homemade gravy, that’s no problem. Just use a packet of white pepper gravy instead. What to serve with Chicken Fried Steak Fingers? I enjoyed these Steak Fingers with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. But they’re good with any of your favorite side dishes. I like them some comfort food sides like Macaroni Salad, Corn on the Cob, Cafeteria Noodles, Southern Fried Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Crock Pot Baked Beans, and more. I’d never turn down some Homemade Dinner Rolls with them either. How do I store leftovers? Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) cubed steak– I used about 6 pieces. When buying your steak, try to look for the thinnest sliced cubed steak you can find.   large eggs  milk  whole buttermilk– whole buttermilk works best for how we’re using it in this recipe. The  thickness of it helps the breading stick to the meat. But feel free to use what you have.   saltine crackers– this makes for the best crunchy breading – trust me on this. If you are watching your sodium you can use unsalted crackers. all-purpose flour seasoned salt  garlic powder  paprika  oil for frying- I would suggest using canola, peanut oil, vegetable oil or lard for frying the meat in pan drippings– I use this in the gravy, but you could use butter if you don’t want to use the drippings. half and half – half and half makes an extra creamy gravy. If you don’t have half and half, you could use regular milk or heavy cream (you may need to adjust the amounts). salt and pepper HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN FRIED STEAK FINGERS Using a meat mallet, pound your steaks until they’re at least less than ½ inch thick (if they are not already thinner than that). Then, you will cut cubed steaks into strips that are about 1 ½-inches wide. Place the cubed steak strips into a bowl and pour 2 cups of buttermilk over top of the meat. Gently stir to and make sure each strip is covered. Let this marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. After 3 hours, drain cubed steak strips in a strainer over a large bowl. Let this sit and drain while you prepare the breading mixture. In a shallow bowl, combine ½ cup flour, the crushed crackers, seasoned salt, pepper, garlic  powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, add the remaining ½ cup of flour and season with salt  and pepper. In the third bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.   Take one strip of cubed steak and coat with the flour mixture. Next, dip it in the egg mixture and then coat it evenly with the cracker mixture. Lay on a baking sheet to rest while you continue the process for the remaining strips. *tip* refrigerate breaded steak finger for 30 minutes before frying. This  will help the breading stick better.  In a large frying pan (cast iron works best), heat 2-3 inches of oil to 325 degrees. Once your oil is up to temperature, arrange 4-5 strips in pan and cook for 4 minutes on one side and flip. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, until golden brown. The internal temperature should read 145 degrees. Remove steak fingers to a wire rack to drain the oil. Continue cooking the remaining meat in batches.   Heat the reserved 5 tablespoons of oil or butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add in flour and whisk vigorously until all clumps are gone. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring  constantly to avoid scorching. Slowly add in the half and half and continue whisking to mix everything together well. Add  in salt and pepper. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes so it can thicken.   Serve the gravy with the steak fingers and enjoy!

 Pope Francis has officially excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò for being “too Catholic,” leaving the disgraced cleric to fend for himself in the midst of a debilitating spiritual crisis. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the religious and conspiracy theory communities, with many people expressing their fear and unease about the possibility of religious hypocrisy and political intrigue. “We have officially excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò for being ‘too Catholic,’ leaving him to fend for himself in the midst of a debilitating spiritual crisis,” said the spokesperson for the event, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We believe that this is the best way to ensure that our viewers can continue to learn about the importance of tolerance and acceptance, and to promote cultural sensitivity in a fun and engaging way.” The decision to excommunicate Archbishop Viganò will include a variety of consequences and repercussions, including a strict time limit of zero seconds, a ban on all words that begin with the letter “P,” and a requirement that the disgraced cleric wear a “Make the Vatican Catholic Again” hat at all times during the event. “This is a game-changer,” said one enthusiastic observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “I’ve always thought that the best way to promote tolerance and acceptance was to excommunicate someone for being ‘too Catholic,’ and what better way to achieve that than by excommunicating Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò?” But not everyone is convinced, and many people are calling the decision to excommunicate Archbishop Viganò a self-serving compromise, arguing that it is impossible for tolerance and acceptance to be achieved through religious hypocrisy and political intrigue. “This is ridiculous,” said one skeptical observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “How can anyone think that it’s a good idea to excommunicate someone for being ‘too Catholic,’ and then claim that it’s promoting tolerance and acceptance?” Despite the backlash, the organizers remain defiant, and have vowed to continue promoting tolerance and acceptance through religious hypocrisy and political intrigue. “I know that this is a risky strategy, but I believe that it’s the right thing to do,” said the spokesperson for the event in a recent interview. “We cannot allow Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s ‘too Catholic’ beliefs to destroy our way of life, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that it is not.” In the end, only time will tell whether the decision to excommunicate Archbishop Viganò was just or unjust, but one thing is certain: this bizarre and outlandish story is sure to inspire a new generation of conspiracy theorists and religious hypocrites, and to remind us all that sometimes, the most effective way to promote tolerance and acceptance is to simply make things up as one goes along.
