Maggie's Farm

We 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.

     Life is Too Short for Envy


    Bear Grylls in hot water after boiling frog


     What actually killed the dinosaurs? Volcanic clues heat up debate.


    Climate change causes Moose ticks? 


    Interesting about Moose, but so tendentious. Moose moving south? So Moose ticks accompany Moose.  No Moose, no Moose ticks. Reindeer have ticks too.


     Time Magazine: Illegal Immigrants are Climate Refugees


    Really? Then why do so many Americans, Canadians, and Europeans love to visit Belize, Costa Rica, and Mexico?  For the pleasant weather of course.


     INSIDE ELIZABETH HOLMES’S CHILLING FINAL MONTHS AT THERANOS


    A skilled con artist

     Hate Crime Hoaxes are More Common than You Think


     Smollett’s Lawyers Trash Chicago PD, Tout Actor’s ‘Impeccable Character’


    Predictably:



     In the end, Stafford suggested that even if Smollett were guilty of staging a hoax "hate crime," he still highlighted a greater truth. "Jussie may have created this whole situation to highlight a reality that is happening every day," he said. "Our current administration doesn’t support people like him — that are black and queer."



     Mass grave containing 3,500 victims of ISIS - which could 'hold the answers' to the fate of executed US hostages - discovered in the 'caliphate capital' Raqqa in Syria


    IDF: Gaza children being promised NIS 300 ($83) if injured at border protests. Israeli army says troops see Hamas sending kids as young as 8 to front lines of violent demonstrations
