I was a sophomore in college in'71 and voted for Nixon in '72.

I have lost 40 pounds since August 02, 2023 and feel 30 years younger than I have in decades.  I've stopped all meds.  My BP, cholesterol, blood sugar and A1C are all dead center normal.
But I'm still deaf as a door nail without hearing aids and I'm (almost) blind as a bat in my right eye.
And I'm still old.

That's great Joe. Good  for you, losing that weight.  About three years ago, I just decided one day to change my lifestyle and started a rigorous, daily exercise program and totally changed my diet.

I'm 6' tall, so at 185 lbs looked halfway normal. I've been stable at 150 lbs now for almost two years. No meds, feel great and have lots of energy.

The democrat reply is always the same, though unspoken.  What is the "fair share" that you want millionaires to pay in taxes?  All of it.  How much do you need to send to Ukraine to win the war?  All of it.  And even then it's not enough.

  Ukraine is a giant money laundering scam.  The low information types are duped into believing this money will "help them defeat Russia" which is laughable at best.   Meanwhile the little Ukrainian dictator is lining his pockets and his regime's pockets with borrowed money we give them and the taxpayer has to pay back with interest.

Why don't those who are fighting hardest for a new communist / socialist America realize that they will be the first ones up against the wall when it happens?

Because they don’t know history.

Here we are at the end of April.  Flying as often as the weather permits.  Approaches, procedure turns, holds, frequency changes, and getting used to ATC directions.  Amazing how a CFII can make 1.5 hours seem like 6.  Getting smoother as I get the routine down. It's actually starting to be a lot of fun!

Best part was the end of a VOR approach... Foggles off, get aligned, landing configuration, slow down.  10 knot crosswind.  A King Air waiting for takeoff watching my every move.  Landed a three point squeaker.  Instructor said, "THAT'S how you tailwheel!".   Felt really good.

Note to Kristi Noem:     Giving details on killing your dog is a really bad image.  Say "bye bye" to your hopes of a VP slot.

They show Trump sleeping in the courtroom and say that it's just like FJB nodding off during a meeting with some foreign leader.  But Trump is out there campaigning and holding rallies, then is forced to sit in a courtroom for eight hours for the mind-numbingly boring jury selection.  Who wouldn't fall asleep.

I still don't get why he's required to be in the courtroom.  Defendants are never required to be there.  They have the right to be there, but also the right to be elsewhere.  Power hungry judge in the pocket of the democrats.
It's called election interference. By requiring him to be there, he can't be out campaigning.

I'm so pissed off about all this.

I am extremely angry about what they’re doing to Trump but on the bright side, it only seems to be increasing his popularity.

Sleazebag adam schiff flew to SF yesterday to give a speech.

His luggage was all stolen from his rental car.

Former biden cabinet member and disgusting tranny, sam binton is a renowned, and convicted luggage thief…

Just saying.

Sam only stole ladies clothes.  If Sniff is a closeted cross dresser, then Sam Binton would have targeted him.

Go to a BLM protest and shout "BLM is a hate group!", then find yourself in cuffs being dragged away.

BLM and ANTIFA (democrat hate groups) can burn the US flag and trample it, but if one is caught desecrating a BLM flag, they will promptly be arrested.

 Just imagine a group of people wearing red MAGA hats shutting down a highway or bridge, how long before the paddy wagons show up and these people are incarcerated being charged with multiple crimes?

  We are now under full blown lawfare, in which depending upon your ideology, you will be granted constitutional rights or charged with a series of laws (whether the law applies or not) then bankrupted.

  So yes, you are correct, free speech is no more.   Just look at the "tik tok" law just passed by congress.  It will not affect Tik Tok in how it was sold, but gives the government a huge swath of power to ban outlets it disagrees with.

  Oh, and we were sold down the river with the FISA reauthorization.

Spin Zone / Free speech
« on: April 23, 2024, 06:45:06 AM »
Jim called out my "ambiguous" sounding position on the pro-Hamas protests, as if he wants me to come out in full support of the protestors' right to free speech, and I've been holding back just a bit.  Here's why.

For decades now, the major institutions influencing public opinion (media and education), and more importantly, the development of ideology in our children, have been taken over by neo-Marxist anti-Americans.  These protestors are mostly young people, as usual; brains not fully developed, no adult life experience, think they know everything, but have not been exposed to a wide range of ideas.

For years now, ramping up hard recently, these institutions have censored speech, not from these neo-Marxists (aka the left) but from the right and from anything upholding the ideals of our founding fathers (such as the Constitution).  Conservative speakers are banned from campus. Mainstream media is now openly just a propaganda arm for the Democrats, and social media we now know is infiltrated by federal agencies controlling who is allowed to speak freely.  Political speech is not the only speech censored, we have scientists blacklisted and censored for speaking truthfully about climate change or covid.

There IS NO free speech in America anymore.  So now all of a sudden I'm supposed to defend a bunch of brats siding with terrorists and shouting threats at our very nation?  Where's the call to support all the above, censored everywhere except X and a few alternative platforms? 

The issue is not we need to allow pro-Palestinian speech; that is a subset of speech and openly allowed and supported.  Any countering subsets are suppressed, and that is apparently acceptable. We have destroyed free speech in America. Those protests aren't free speech; they are what is allowed to be said by the puppet masters. 

Free speech must apply to everyone and all points of view or it isn't free speech at all.  What is allowed simply becomes the rantings of a properly brainwashed set of minions.

Agree with the last 2 posts. All Trump can do is try to slow the race to the cliff’s edge but we’re going over regardless. Too much momentum to stop completely.
