This is a Uniparty tyrannical grab for control over social media.  It’s unconstitutional, violates the First.  How did it get this far?

First, the Republicans pushed the idea that it’s nothing but Chinese spyware, sending all our info back to the CCP and turning our young into zombies. They’re not wrong but:

1.  Google, Apple, etc. are already giving our data to anyone willing to pay, Chinese included, and also using algorithms that suppress anything that goes against the “approved” messaging.  The CCP doesn’t need Tik Tok to brainwash our kids or get all of our personal profiles.

2.  Banning any program or “app” as they call them these days, is useless because technology is at a point where we can get around any ban.  There are VPNs, or a company can simply rebrand the thing.  It’s whack a mole, you will never stop the rise of new computer platforms.  Rather than try to control them from the top down, the field needs to remain free and open, allowing the rise and fall of platforms of all types, and allow the market to decide what it wants. Centralized government should not control this just like it should not control what books are published and sold.

And like it or not, east Asia is heavily involved in computer technology. We opened up trade with a communist dictatorship to the point our own manufacturing is largely shut down while we now let them make all our shit and now we’re salty because they made an app that took off in popularity in the west?  Just like all their other shit is shipped over here?  What did we expect?

The Democrat elite were happy to allow this “right -wing” propaganda to sink into Mom and Pop America.  They already had the pro-censorship conservatives on board.  They don’t need the Tik Tok-loving woke kids. But old school Democrats also bought it, because a.) they are fence sitters on the Bill of Rights and b.) older Democrats lived during the Cold War and still have remnants of “The communists are coming! The communists are coming!”  programming from childhood.

Indeed they are coming, but a stupid phone app is not the danger. The danger is that Marxism has soaked into the West by osmosis after the universities and primary schools were taken over by the left and China is literally buying up farmland, inserting spies into the highest levels of government, and outright paying our corrupt current resident in chief to make him their bitch.

This is the Uniparty taking the opportunity to pass a law opening the door to Federal outright, open, “legal” censorship of all social media, as opposed to the Feds covertly censoring Twitter, Facebook, etc.  They were angered when Elon caught them red handed, outed them to us all, and told them to fuck off. (Elon is now a target, just watch.)

Notice the pattern: When the tyranny is defeated in a battle, they learn from the mistake and correct it, smoothing the way for easier wins in the future. They got caught illegally censoring social media and so are now passing a law that will grant them to power to do it openly.  Another example: When they realized Mike Pence had the power to refuse to certify the 2020 election (even though he didn’t exercise it), they were spooked by the close call so preemptively took steps to ensure it can never happen by passing a law turning the certification into an empty rubber stamp.

These people are insidious, evil psychopaths.  They will stop at nothing to stay in power, including dismantling the Bill of Rights piece by piece.

If you’re not a surgeon currently in the OR, or an immunocompromised cancer patient, you have no business wearing a mask.  Well okay maybe if you’re mowing the grass and have allergies.

I have seasonal allergies and I don't even wear a mask mowing the lawn. The beer cancels the allergies out and is more effective than the mask.

Apparently Lara Trump is now co-chair of the RNC. Says election integrity will be their priority.

Republicans have never understood the concept of working together for a common goal.   They constantly form circular firing squads and defeat themselves.   

Elect more republicans?   They still don’t understand the difference between votes and ballots.   Republicans want to focus on 30,000 feet issues that most Americans aren’t concerned with.  And republicans haven’t learned how to take the other sides game book and use it against them.   

What republicans are very good and effective with is writing and giving concession speeches.

Another week has passed.   FJB has yet to be impeached.  The senate has yet to try Mayorkas. The border still remains open.

And the republican led congress just gave out another windfall amount of money for a democrat spending bill with no benefits for decreasing spending, border security or any conservative causes.

Spin Zone / Bird feeder
« on: March 08, 2024, 06:57:28 AM »
I bought a bird feeder. I hung
it on my back porch and filled
it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table
and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table ..
Everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own
pocket.
And others birds were
boisterous and loud. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
and demanded that I fill it
when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even
sit on my own back porch
anymore. So I took down the
bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone. I cleaned
up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
it used to be ..... Quiet, serene....a
and no one demanding their
rights to a free meal.
Now let's see.
our government gives out
free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care and free
education, and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
citizen.
Then the illegal's came by the
tens of thousands. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for
free services; small apartments
are housing 5 families; you
have to wait 6 hours to be seen
by an emergency room doctor;
your child's second grade class is
behind other schools because
over half the class doesn't speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in a
bilingual box; I have to
'press one ' to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and
people waving flags other
than 'Old Glory' are
squawking and screaming
in the streets, demanding
more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe
it's time for the government
to take down the bird feeder.

It's Article 4, Section 4, Clause 2 of the constitution.

FJB has failed, along with congress.  They all need to be removed from office.

They are committing sabotage. They are undermining the safety and sovereignty of the nation. Criminal charges need to be brought.

I think it's a shame they have to, but YES.  I think they should be allowed to.

The Feds should either be in there helping or leave.  They shouldn't be obstructing.

I think it's great that States like Florida and Tennessee are sending in their National Guard troops to help.

It’s one thing for Biden and the feds to ignore the border and fail to defend it.  It is quite another for them to actively obstruct Texas’s efforts to defend the border which is not only the U.S. border, but also Texas’s border which are the property lines of private citizens whose lands are being overrun. 

Biden is suing Texas to stop our efforts, federal agents are cutting the wire we put up; this cannot be seen as anything but outright hostility. The Biden administration is behaving like an enemy of Texas. There is no other way to look at it.

In 1968-69 I worked at an evergreen nursery. Every summer a group of migrants came to the nursery and worked through the summer and then went back to Mexico for the winter. The nursery actually had housing for them.

There is such a thing as temporary work visas. Nothing wrong with that. Other than the competition for wages. Americans demand higher wages and migrants accept less, which is a large part of the problem.  This is due to asymmetry in the two economies.  Minimum wage laws in the U.S., differentials in standard of living, cost of living, and so on.

The American consumer demands low prices, putting pressure on corporations to minimize cost by hiring cheap labor.  The American consumer has also screwed itself in this manner by insisting on cheap Chinese made shit thereby destroying local manufacturing bases around the country. They’re not entirely to blame; government overregulation is also largely responsible.

The American consumer also destroyed mom and pop small businesses on Main Street by transferring all their buying to Walmart, who in turn stopped inventorying American made shit and switched to substandard Chinese crap, thereby ensuring an endless loop of trashing and re-buying the same items instead of investing in a well made piece that lasted a generation.  Of course for that traditional quality American made paradigm to work, you have to have an expanding population, otherwise there’s no market to sell your well made long lasting stuff to and you go out of business. And here we are.  Once again, Americans are screwing themselves by not having babies.
