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. |

" St. Louis Homeowner Speaks Out After Confronting BLM Militants with Firearm, ‘The Only Thing That Stopped the Mob Was my Rifle’" Kim Gardner the STL circuit attorney is very corrupt. She will get that couple if she can as she has no interest in following the law, only getting even with
white people. She refuses to take on cases brought in by the police and has freed almost all of the rioters without charges. She should have lost her job when she did illegal things to bring down former governor Eric Greitens. As typical nothing has been done to stop her as she is a black Democrat. The St. Louis Homeowner incident answered those two questions that the anti-gun crowd likes to throw out:
1. Who needs a semi-automatic rifle? 2. Who needs 30 round magazine? The proof is there for all to see. Did anyone actually notice that his wife was holding a gun too until it was pointed out in the story? Her gun was too small to look threatening, too small to be accurate and not scary at all. The crowd intent on mayhem stayed back for one reason only; that black scary looking AR-15 with a 30 round clip. They knew, even if only instinctively, that the black scary rifle could if necessary shoot 30 of them dead within 5-10 seconds. AND if he had a second magazine in his pocket it would be almost instantly ready to protect him from an additional 30 attackers. This is what the 2nd amendment is all about! Not hunting but the ability for law abiding people to protect their lives. The wife really made me cringe, she was pointing that thing all around, including at her husband's body and head. With her finger on the trigger. This is how people get accidentally killed. Needs to take a gun safety course. About her weapon, I couldn't really tell what it was, it almost looked like one of those old .25 caliber purse pistols they used to sell. She was holding it like an afternoon cocktail drink. Even a gun that small has some recoil which would have totally freaked her out if he had fired it.
Yes she didn't seem to be holding it safely, but you can she was scared to death they were going to be attacked and maybe worse. Gun safety class is in her/their future if Kim Gardner doesn't manage to take their weapons away from them and put them in jail.
Dementia Politics? Joe's leading in all the polls, doncha know?
And President Hillary Clinton approves all those polls. The hardest job in America right now is being the sign language interpreter on stage at a Joe Biden speech.

Putting aside for the moment whether the media's job is to topple re-election campaigns or bravely cover actual hard news ("Hong Kong is calling again") this sounds awfully much like someone is trying on a cape for themselves. Super powers huh? Sure, kid. Us mortals will never figure that one out. And pay no attention to those reader/viewership numbers QUOTE: De Blasio Announces Proposal To Slash NYPD Budget By $1 Billion, Divert Cash To ‘Young People’ Midnight basketball? When's the last time you heard anyone touting that as a panacea? Someone should follow this closely and publicly release the information of where very dollar goes. This isn't about defunding the police it is about distributing those funds to friends and fellow comrades. This is a fraud and a outright taking of tax monies.
Apparently, opportunities to squeeze money out of police unions and police bureaucrats are about played out. Instapundit's "opportunities for graft and corruption" will manifest when the connected complete the founding of innumerable NGO "youth agencies", a la Revs Jackson's and Sharpton's. I'm starting "Keep Individual Delinquents Satisfied" or KIDS. When may I expect my millions from Mayor Warren Wilhelm, Jr.?
Genetic clusters: Somewhere there is probably a large enough and clear enough picture of that map. One where you could actually read what it says. But not at the links.
Click on the link to the paper. You can expand the maps. I couldn't get the blog link to open but I like that the paper was linked. Paper looks like a fun read. Interestingly they seem to be defining generation I'm not sure how - with 9th starting in 1649 and the 0 gen having a toe in 1962. By my family tree that's more like 13 generations.
Interesting statistical grouping maps of genetics to the "9th" generation and a timely snap shot. It is all changing. Use to be that you were not really an insider and considered "new" in a New England town until you were married in and at least 3rd generation. A lot more immigration in the last 20 years and a lot of kids moving where the jobs are.

--------------------------- So does this mean Chinese and Japanese can't own property in California again? ---------------------------------------- India Bans TikTok, Other Chinese Apps Over Security Concerns ---------------------------------------- Chinese controlled app TikTok was behind trying to screw up Trump's rally the other week. Not a peep about China interfering in the American elections. The management of the facility did a pretty good job of cluster-f*cking the rally too - sending the temperature screeners off shift early, putting stickers on every other seat, so forth. They were gloating about it on facebook the next day, how they had torpedoed the rally in spite of all the people they had turned away.
