Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Buy stainless steel straws.

Now a veteran policeman is losing his job over that little twerp.
https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/05/28/cop-faces-discipline-after-facebook-post-directed-at-david-hoggs-die-in-protests-at-publix People need to stop being intimidated and push back against the Left and their paid agents provacateurs. "Check My Privilege"
The Check My Privilege meme is really about "give me privilege". These are people who want privilege. Most if not all don't really think whites or males have more privilege but know that they themselves are "inadequate" and "need" privilege to succeed. (Seriously, have you noticed this demand always comes from the welfare bums and the women's/black studies people and not from people with real careers?) It is the classic left wing/socialist ploy; lower everyone else to your level is their path to "equality". Reboot your router this morning
Was concerned with this UNTIL I read the sentence about the DNC server being "hacked". There is absolutely NO FBI-secured evidence of that. So, it renders this whole NYT article as just another false flag, #FAKENEWS article, to further the Deep State narrative!! If the FBI really wanted to determine whether the Russians hacked the DNC server, the FBI would have seized that server as they seized whatever they wanted from Manafort's home and Cohen's office! Instead, they took the word of some sketchy third-party that the server was hacked and NEVER followed up on evidence the hacking was actually an inside job! Seth Rich was unavailable for comment. Sorry the FBI's credibility is ZERO these days! It's sad to think that with all the lies from the surveillance state about the very existence of the surveillance state, my first reaction on hearing the FBI is urging everybody to reboot their routers was to think that yeah, and there's a Nigerian prince urging me to send him my bank account info, too. It's a good day to reflect that suspicion, distrust and fear of the government is pretty darn patriotic, though.
We're too late. The article is dated yesterday. O my goodness! We're all gonna die!
I saw the story about the Publix protest. We don't have one here in Central Texas, but we did stop at one in Florida a couple of summers ago. They are decent stores, but nothing like our HEBs here.
If I were there when Hogg was trying to block me from getting my shopping done, I would accidentally trip and step on his face. I am clumsy that way. I'm tired of BS. I wouldn't step over them. Being hit by a fast moving shopping cart a few times ought encourage them to stop impeding lawful commerce.
From the UK:
Butchers 'living in fear' as vegan attacks on the rise, says Countryside Alliance https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/27/butchers-living-fear-vegan-attacks-rise-says-countryside-alliance/ And . . . How's this for the stupid suggestion of the day? Knives are too sharp and filing them down is solution to soaring violent crime, judge says QUOTE: "Accordingly, it is very easy for any youth who wants to obtain a knife to take it from the kitchen drawer in his home or in the home of one of his friends.” As a result - said the judge - the most common knife a youth will take out is eight to ten inches, long and pointed, from his mother's cutlery tray. He asked: “But why we do need eight-inch or ten-inch kitchen knives with points? “Butchers and fishmongers do, but how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an eight-inch or ten-inch knife? Rarely, if at all." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/27/knives-sharp-filing-solution-soaring-violent-crime-judge-says/?li_source=LI&li_medium=li-recommendation-widget "But why we do need eight-inch or ten-inch kitchen knives with points?"
This is why you don't let the right to bear arms get dragged into a debate over what someone imagines you "need." Why do we "need" judges? Why does this judge "need" a house? The reason we "need" a rifle with 30 rounds or so is that you need one to kill the deer and the rest to fight off the democrats trying to steal it from you.
Yup. And the only time I'm inclined to pay attention to what other think I need is when they're for some reason in charge of supplying my needs. For now, lacking either a mommy or a guardian, I'm in charge in that area, so they can pee up a rope.
I like that, mary!
Speaking more seriously, during the Rodney King riots, several shop owners protected their shops with high capacity AR-15s and many others wished they could. California may offer free medical care to illegals
That's very nice. You can bet it will be an order of magnitude better than what veterans get at the VA, since the illegals will be getting it through the private system. And you can bet that we will be called on to bail out California when it's deficit balloons again. Please secede, California. PLEASE.
