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. |

" Tom Seaver will live forever in New Yorkers’ memories
I heard Tom had early dementia, not sure " I read he had Lewy Body disease which has several forms and dementia plus supposedly complications of COVID. Lewy Body is awful as my brother in law died of the disease in June. A type of dementia with some complications of Parkinson's. In the end he was fortunate to go very quickly which was a blessing for him and the family but it had drug on for years getting to the end. I don't know how far Tom Seaver had progressed with the disease. Ha! Anti-Trump Network Snubbed by the Commission on Presidential Debates: The Crap "News" Network crapped upon. I am soooooooooooooooo not bummed.

Another keyboard ruined when I came across the Naval Observatory. re Democrat Mail Fraud Will Take Us to the Brink
The Dems have been telegraphing their plans for some time now. It's the dark inevitability about it that bothers me. Is there no way to stop it? The Coming Coup?
This is a disturbing piece that summarizes the telegraphing and resistance to Trump and the intent to kick Trump out of office by hook or crook. Hard to pull a money quote. Ya have to read it all. https://americanmind.org/essays/the-coming-coup/ Washington Post Threatens: No Biden, No Peace!

At least he didn't say "niggardly." " USC Prof Placed on Temporary Leave for Using Chinese Word That Sounds Like Racial Slur in English." I am skeptical about this. Every native speaker of Mandarin I've heard says *jeige (jayguh), meaning "this", not *neige (nayguh), meaning "that". Neige does not sound like the "nigga" heard in rap music, since, oh, forever.
At least he didn't refer to the Chinese person who was named Won Hong Lo
“Democrats Introduce Legislation To Declare Racism A Public Health Crisis” and I would like to help them.
This is not for every American black because many of them don’t need it. This is for those American blacks who need it. And when they read this, they’ll know it is for them. You are not special. White people were enslaved and sold since forever and often by blacks and/or pisslims. You are not special. Black slaves brought to America were enslaved by other African blacks and sold to African pisslims who sold them to slave traders. You are not special. Slavery was common at that time and many people of all colors and races were being enslaved and sold. You are not special. Blacks brought to America were not treated any worse than many others sold around the world of all races and colors, whites included. You are not special. You are not the only people in history to have had a rough patch or many, in their history. Most people have. You are not special. England abandoned slavery without the need for a civil war. The War of Northern Aggression was fought to eliminate an economic competitor. We could have done what England did. But destroying the South was more fun and more profitable for the northern aggressors. The north needed an excuse for aggression and you were the one handy. You were used. You are not special. Abraham Lincoln was a racist himself and saw blacks as inferior. You are not special. You are once again being used today by leftists who want you as an excuse to enslave all free people, including you. You are not special. You are being used today by peddlers of racism both black and white who make themselves rich while solving none of your problems and, worse yet, keeping you uneducated and poor and self victimized so they can continue to exploit you and you let them. And there are even more white people and all other colors that are being equally exploited by leftists and for he same purpose. You are just one of the colors. You are not special. You are among the most racist of people in America. You are not special. American blacks are privileged over all the rest of the world black people and should be grateful their ancestors were brought here so they now live in the freest and most decent country in the world and in history in more safety and more comfort than all the rest of the black people on the planet. You get special treatment of all kinds and “affirmative actions” that is nothing else than “reverse” discrimination (and so discrimination. period), galore and subsidies and so on and so forth and millions bend over backwards to try and make you special. But you are not special. And the more you are given the more you whine and self victimize because that’s what you have been trained to do and you love it. There is not enough money in the world to make you happy by giving you free stuff. Free stuff will only make you worse. “Reparations”, unjust, unfair and unworkable unless as free stuff at the expense of people who never had a slave won’t make you better. You don’t deserve any “reparations” Want something? Go to work and earn it. Or do without. You are not special. The laws apply to you, too. You are not special. You don’t have any special rights. You are not special. You don’t have any right to an iota of something that belongs to others. You are not special Learn to start solving your own problems. Because you are not special. You are just people. And you are not special. And the fact that you are not special means that you are not less than other people, you are not more than other people and you are not different than other people. The best things you could do for your future happiness would be (a) undertand that you are not special or victims or whatever lefto BS you have been indoctrinated into and (b) go earn an honest living, hard. Make it. On your own. Just like any other honest and decent productive American of any color that, just like you, is not special. You don’t seem to get it. Real racists laugh at you because they see you as useless and you don’t even try to contradict them. The best revenge on racists you can get is having a good life. On your own. Not as the gift from somebody else, because you are “owed” anything that you are not.. Go earn and enjoy good lives as productive Americans and the racists will have the worst time of their lives seeing you. And you will have a good life. And at every step of the way remind yourself that (a) you are just people and (b) you are not special. |
