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. |

re Cleveland Indians Will Drop "Offensive" Team Nickname Because 20 Lunatics on Twitter Told Them To
It was bound to happen sooner or later, I think Cleveland baseball team should change their name to the Deplorables. At least it would be a way to stick a finger in the eye of the people that advocate this nonsense. No. I don't think the owners have the backbone to do such a thing, but it's kinda cool to think about. re No Facebook or Twitter executives were found to have donated to Trump's campaign
No surprise there. Even if some execs are closet conservatives/Trump sympathizers, I can readily see that a donation might well result in doxxing from the wild-eyed left, and could easily result in the termination of their jobs. Who would want to bring that kind of misery on themselves in exchange for a political donation? 'Masks Are Symbolic,' say Dr Fauci and The New England Journal of Medicine
https://hennessysview.com/masks-are-symbolic-dr-fauci/ That article is based on evidence over six months old. Meanwhile, doctors and nurses continue to wear masks.
Why are you lying? IF you believe that masks work THEN you wear a mask and leave your mandates off my freedom.
By the way Nurses and doctors wear masks because they are mandated not because they work. It doesn't take a rocket scientists to look up on the internet what doctors and nurses actually wear when they are required to deal with dangerous communicable diseases. If you do that and still believe that cloth masks work than there is no hope for you. How is he lying? In the last six months, has the physics of sub-micron filtration changed?
"Meanwhile, doctors and nurses continue to wear masks."
Doctors and nurses typically wear masks Wuhan Flu or not. Coup d’État in America: A Limey Viewpoint
This is an excellent read. It's good to know some people out side the USA see the election for what it is and understand the repercussions. https://gatesofvienna.net/2020/11/coup-detat-in-america-a-limey-viewpoint/ The best I can tell is that there was a proposed resolution at an AMA meeting in October to rescind the chloroquine ban, but it was not passed. People are quoting from the proposed resolution, not an actual rescission.

Re: US intel veterans lied about ‘Russian plot’ — and the media bought it hook, line and sinker
That’s very misleading. It makes it sound like they were fooled into saying Hunter’s laptop story was Russian disinformation. They were hoping someone would give them a reason to suppress the truth and they were not at all interested in whether there was any truth to it. As for the intel veterans, we can be glad they are not currently in intel agencies, but how many like them are still there? Congress is holding hearings on election "irregularities". Not massive a election fraud that stole the election but "election irregularities" as though a laxative could correct it. Senator Peters took the occasion to call out Trump 'followers' for trying to destroy democracy. He hid behind his mask, because you cannot say this with a straight face, and declared this was the most honest election in history and Biden won with a record majority vote. I changed channels so I don't know if after calling us all conspiracy theorists that he then asked that we all come together.
There will be no 'coming together'. This is war. I believe China backed this greatest crime of the century AND I believe that the Democrats are in bed with China and intend to steal our country and serve it up on a platter to China. IF our courts or our politicians do not do the right thing before January 20th I believe this crisis will get worse. The MSM is busily trying to push the story down the memory hole and now it is Covid 24/7. I don't know if Fox talking heads got their orders and don't dare bring up the biggest story in the world or if they are really all in on the coverup. Either way Fox is toast for me. I may just cancel my cable service and spend the money on booze. While I don't disagree with anything that you've said, I think there is a classic way that Conservatives find themselves losing, time and again: They get mad, enraged even, and then expend all of their energy sputtering in futility over trying to correct too many issues. Many times, elected officials are happy to see this; it's much easier to dodge.
I believe simple plans are better. What would happen if all Conservatives got on board with one idea and one idea only: For instance, exerting relentless pressure on their elected officials of all parties to clean up elections. Never mind China, never mind Russia, never mind MSNBC and Facebook, never mind, never mind. A simple coherent unmistakable message so immutable that politicians cannot twist it for other purposes - that's what we need. On this subject, the polling already shows there would be a lot of Democratic voters who would be on board, as long as it's non-partisan. There is a reason the Tea Party got so much negative pressure - because it was working, a simple mass message on spending. The political class did not like that at all. Agreed--I see this in my little community all the time. People get mad and sound off online, but they don't form effective and well-funded groups to do what's needed to fight back. The only useful purpose of sounding off online is to build support for specific, effective action.
The problem with your idea is that there are almost NO conservatives living in the areas where the problems occurred and the liberals who infest those areas don't want anything changed. How are we going to clean up the elections in...say...Detroit or Philly?
The Governor of Georgia is a psuedo-Republican. The Secretary of State, ditto. Do you really think that if 10,000 mad-as-hell Republican voters made it their business to camp out on the steps of the Capitol every day for a month that they would simply ignore it? And if the message got out to Republicans across the country and they were giving their own elected RINOs a ration of the same sh*t, that they wouldn't feel the pressure.
Pressure is what it is all about. But you have to have the collective will to keep it up until you get your result. NONE of that happened in Georgia. NONE. That's why Stacy Abrams was able to get phony votes in all across the state, ESPECIALLY in Republican districts, using mail drops, and why they were able to exert tiny pressures on these two clowns to get them to back away from their own damn ballot counting procedures. Don't kid yourself. Angry organized mobs with simple messages are highly effective. The problem is conservatives work jobs and have normal families. They are busy, many struggling, to take care of their families and their jobs/businesses. When you see Antifa, BLM or other leftists organizing and acting out those are the people who do not work, do not have families, live off the rest of us. They have the time and the incentive to rally around the single issue important to them all; "free stuff". The Democrats/left/socialist/communist are promising "free stuff". It is that simple.
Most Americans are conservative. I don't mean that they are "proud boys" (whatever that is) or Militia (again whatever that is). They believe in hard work honesty and Christian principles. They have the work ethic of their Northern European ancestors and this is reflected in their life and actions. They teach their children to be honest not to game the system. That and more is what conservatism is about. We hired/elected people to maintain civil order and uphold the constitution. While we weren't paying attention our two party system was taken over by dishonest and nefarious people. At first they didn't blatantly defy the constitution and their constituents they 'merely' used their power to enrich themselves while 'mostly' maintaining civil order and the constitution. But in the last 40, 50, 60 years or so one of those parties has gone full Mafia/KKK/Nazi and lately they have become the handmaidens of China too. THAT is the problem and I see no peaceful way to fix it. They will steal every election and soon they will steal everything you have and they will do it under the cloak of the law. I believed that SCOTUS would jump at this opportunity to set this horrible situation right. That would have been the correct thing to do the only constitutional remedy that would both work and not result in major violence. SCOTUS backed away like scared children and now the few and unlikely constitutional remedies are both unappealing and unlikely (because they require our congress and/or our legislators to have guts). So that leaves the last resort left in the constitution and that is the 2nd amendment. But I fear that this takeover of the Democrat party by foreign influence has gone too far AND that the resolve of law abiding, god fearing Americans is simply not sufficient to do what must be done. So we are doomed to endure the alternative: A slow and then sudden revolution where the forces of evil/the left takes us into full communism followed by a necessary purge of all dissenters, past present and future. The blueprint for this is clear. we know how it will go down. And yet we dither... While Restaurants Die Left And Right, NYC Wants To Make It Even HARDER To Terminate Workers…: NYC WANTS to kill itself. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not bummed.
Where Is The Criticism Of China From Environmentalists? Why, they ain't EVER gonna go THERE! US intel veterans lied about ‘Russian plot’ — and the media bought it hook, line and sinker: As we all know, the media hate, Hates, HATES us. The Joe Biden model is a winner for all Democrats: And a loser for all the rest of us. No Facebook or Twitter executives were found to have donated to Trump's campaign: Well, OF COURSE NOT. They're "media" people. They'd be fired for doing that. The Corporate Media Ponders a Post-Trump Era and They Are Worried: As well they should! They LIE to us, and we KNOW it. I do not (WILL NOT) listen to or read "the media". There is another reason for 60's and 70's era performers to sell their music collections. Their fab base is aging and dying. Most people younger do not listen to music prior to the 80's except for the big arena rock such as Aerosmith and the like, now referred to as classic rock. The softer more generic stuff from the 70's such as Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) and the like does not get much airplay these days. People don't listen to this stuff through the internet either. Thus the value of their music and memorabilia is set to decline in the near future. The time to cash out is now.
BTW, 25% of boomers have already passed on. At least 50% will be gone by 2030. Anything other than big arena rock (and possibly disco) will be forgotten by then. It is all about the money. They want to get the 20% capital gains rate. Biden wants to increase that to regular income rate. Given the penchant of the dems to make tax hikes retroactive to the beginning of the year, they gotta sell it now.
Re: American Medical Association Rescinds Hydroxychloroquine Prevention Order—How Many People Died Because These Soulless Hacks Wanted to Hurt Trump?
The original article has an update. The vote to rescind was NOT passed. Re: The Cleveland Indians
It's possible that the Indians are responding to complaints from the public. But it's also possible that ESPN told them to change the name, or ESPN won't broadcast the games. Nowadays, a sports team is only as good as its media. Wait a minute! What did he say?
