Trump’s message was a message of unity, of America, of optimism, and he delivered it without a hint of intersectional politics, race baiting, or grievance mongering. He also spoke for two hours straight without a teleprompter, mumbling, trailing off with “but never mind, I probably shouldn’t say that”, claiming he was Vice President during covid, or invoking cannibals.

Anybody would be insane to vote for Biden over Trump.

As Stossel points out, those hurt the most are the world’s poor. The climate change grifters don’t care if people starve. The media happily promotes their psychopathic murderous agenda.

Thank you, John Stossel, for exposing this lie. Today’s media is nothing but garbage.

They look at Dictator Zelenskyy and marvel at martial law and how the elections are suspended, as well as how he has gotten rid of opposition parties either by jailing them or eviction.   

 

As they are attempting to do with Trump.  AOC came out and said the truth out loud: that they are using the trials to deliberately prevent Trump from campaigning, thereby interfering in the election.

  Russia has always used mercenaries, as do most militaries.  There's nothing new here.

  Ukraine is running low on troops.  This is why Dictator Zelenskyy wants to become (one of the reasons) a member of NATO so he can get a pipeline of troops to fight his war, as well as more money and equipment.

  No one sees just how ridiculous this clusterfuck has become.   We watch Israel get attacked and the FJB Regime keeps demanding Israel ceasefire and enter into peace talks (with a terrorist group no less) yet that same regime has impeded peace talks and negotiations on the Ukraine war.

  The FJB regime has held back munitions from Israel while demanding more money that has almost unaccountability for a country being run by a dictator.

  Anyone with just a few functioning brain cells can see what the Ukraine war is really about, and why the people behind it want it to continue indefinitely.

  The final irony in all of this:  Conservatives have always been painted as "war mongers" while the leftist have cried "If you elect that republican he'll get us into a war!", yet now look at where we are.    Unreal.

Same with the first amendment. It used to be the liberals that were for free speech, now they are the most pro-censorship bunch we’ve ever had. 

Bill Maher openly admits this now.  He’s a lifelong Democrat and has become sick of the far left takeover.  He was on the View recently speaking out against “woke”.  He regularly bemoans how the educational system has been taken over by Marxists, that the kids haven’t been taught history, that they don’t know we’ve tried communism and it hasn’t worked, ever, not even once.  Capitalism has its problems but there is no better system and it is why this country is so prosperous.

In fact, I agree with Maher on nearly everything with two exceptions:  He has bad TDS, so bad he will vote for Biden, in which case he is voting for all the bad policies he complains about, and he buys into the climate change hoax.

In the first case he seems to have drunk the Kool-Aid that Trump is a fascist dictator and in the second he simply hasn’t researched climate change beyond CNN.  These two things indicate he gets all his news from the leftist mainstream.  When he talked with Roseanne Barr it was revealed he had never even heard of the WEF or Klaus Schwab.  But for existing in this lefty bubble kudos to him for being as anti-woke as he is.

Excuse me for veering off the subject but free speech and all, on this forum.

Mercenary fighting for the Russians has a different view:


Assuming we can believe what’s posted on Chinese social media; in this case I think we can.

Russia is running low on men, if hiring myriad of mercenaries is any indication. He paints a clear picture of the disadvantages (language barriers, no “brothers in arms” cohesion). 

But these are not necessarily indicative of Russia losing the war. China has millions it can send to help and Russia has closed the borders to stop its own young men from fleeing.

Someone not me who has been in actual combat tell me if this is true:  Drones are a game changer.  I’ve seen camera footage from drones as they detect men or tanks, target and kill.  Death from a soulless robot from above.   Small and agile, unlike manned aircraft, harder to target with anti-aircraft weapons before it drops its load or suicides into you?  And cheap as hell compared to other means of aerial attack.  The technology will probably rapidly get better to make them even more deadly.

Russia isn’t going to be defeated. Nor will she just stop. As long as the U.S. pumps resources into Ukraine this will go on indefinitely.  Yes Russia has a manpower problem but so does Ukraine. Both sides will send men to die until none are left, then they’ll keep paying ever more mercenaries or worse, get their allies directly involved: Russia-China vs Ukraine-USA/NATO. Great.

We need Trump in office to tell these two to knock it off.

But still, a complete Russian victory over there will be far worse than us supporting Ukraine.

Why?

You mean like written words on paper in cursive?

Do they even know what to do with them?

😜

No, I typed them in large font in Word.  I know, pathetic.  Kids can’t read cursive anymore. 

Times change.  It’s hard enough for me to read the kind of cursive my grandfather wrote just 100 years ago.  And it’s not that different from what I was taught.  I imagine our descendants 100 years in the future will be completely unable to decipher an ordinary cursive letter we wrote.

anyway, with some the scammers grabbing mail out of mailboxes (home and even the USPS boxes), it's probably better to not rely on the mailman to take the mail out of your mailbox.

I agree, we don’t put sensitive stuff in there anymore. We drive it to the post office.  These were just letters to the grandchildren.

Geez, I have to resort to Google.  I'm deeply disappointed that Duckduckgo is basically a skin of MS Bing.

I have outgoing mail.  I put the flag up.  The mail person comes and puts incoming mail in the box and drives off without taking the outgoing.

This NEVER used to happen.  What the fucking fuck is wrong with people anymore?

My wife and I have two small plastic containers with the letters we wrote each other when she was back in Florida and I was in Illinois.  We sat down one night to read through some and didn't get far.

I have a plastic box containing all the letters my grandfather wrote to my grandmother from France during WWI.  This was the same set of grandparents that got married in 1916.

I agree with so much of what you said that I am about to embark on an old cable-ectomy of my office.
I have dozens of VGA cables, 30 pin apple cables, RCA and Composite cables, scores of USB and Micro USB cables, computer power cords, RS232 cables, parallel printer cables, tons of cat 5 jumper cables, stereo audio cables and cables I don't even recognize any more.  Even if I were to find a use for two or three of them, I don't need hundreds of them cluttering up my drawers and shelves and boxes.

But one thing I'm not allowed to throw away.  My wife has an odd attachment to her '50s era Encyclopedia Britannica.  I counted it up and we have moved them 11 times, unless I forgot a move.

Last week I went through my file cabinets and cleaned out enough old paid bills, credit card statements, bank statements and tons of old health insurance, car insurance, house insurance, flood insurance policies along with hundreds of old warranty cards and more.  I filled up 4 old copy paper boxes and took them to the business I sold where they have a commercial shredding contract.

Several times I went to the garage to thin it out, but I can't identify more than a few pounds of stuff.  It never fails that if I throw anything out, the next week I will need it, even if I hadn't needed it in the past 20 years.  But perhaps I'll give that another try too.

All that paper stuff you’re talking about, I went through mom’s and came up with about 60 pounds of paper to take to be shredded.  Came across some wild stuff there too.  She won a class action suit about 20 years ago that would have paid $900 to her estate if she died within 12 months of the date of the settlement. WTF?  She didn’t of course.  Useless.
