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.

Just looks like your garden variety pandering to me.

However it is apparently done with VOA resources. I see no authorship by the Biden campaign or a PAC at the end.

Is it legal for VOA to run a freelance campaign ad for Joe merged with a get out the vote message??

Matthew 15:10-11 Then he called the crowd to Him and said to them, "Listen and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles."

Disgusting! That must be illegal.

In contrast to blackjack, you have the choice of betting on a tie when playing baccarat. Millions of people play at on-line casinos each yr. So, if a player has playing cards 2 and six, then the complete worth is eight.

Funny. Joe makes as much sense in Urdu as he does in English.

VOA is a federal government agency. I guess VOA and Joe Biden have never heard of the Hatch Act. Or have a problem with a federal government agency running a sectarian religious appeal in direct violation of the "separation of church and state." What would be the reaction if VOA called for all Christians to unite and vote for Donald Trump?

Quite different from Joe's approach on Christians. Joe has said on national TV that under his administration, Christians who do not affirm gay rights will be classified as terrorists and put under federal government surveillance. Sort of like the Uighurs in Communist China, but here it would be Christians.

First of all, there is no "Muslim ban". That's a Democrat lie. There was a ban on immigrants from certain terror-sponsoring Muslim countries until one of Obama's pet judges overturned it, and even then it was only temporary. Muslims already in America who are welcoming Grandma and her seventeen dozen cousins to our shores know this, but they'll never admit it, and neither will the Democrats.

The democrats endorse Uyghurs slavery in China. Come on Man!!?!!?

This is no different than Hillary or Gore preaching leftism in black pulpits. A non profit or in this case a quasi government agency openly advocating for a candidate. The deep state is out of the closet

The good news is that the vid was pulled, and those responsible are either gone or paying a price.

Our new VOA leadership is working out quite well.

It is my understanding that Biden is a quote that supports Sharia Law.

This is from Ayaan Hirsi Ali:
"The hadith he cited refers to a widely known principle “Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong,” that is used to keep Muslims in line. Far from revealing humanism or tolerance, the hadith emphasizes the need for social control in defense of orthodoxy.

This mindset is one important reason why many Muslim reformers run into serious problems in Islamic societies. There are other Hadiths that emphasize the same principle.

When Biden repeats, “whomever among you sees wrong, let him change it with the hand,” this has been used in Islam to justify physical force and even acts of violence to stop wrongdoing. But wrongdoing in Islamic doctrine is defined as acts that go against Shariah. Islamic scholars have had long-standing debates about whether this principle can involve weapons such as the sword (or firearms, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), or only fists."
