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. |

John Durham Puts Hillary Clinton On Notice In New Filing: ‘Active, Ongoing Criminal Investigation’
Isn't it fairly obvious by now that the Clintons are political teflon? They won't face the music until they're standing in front of God. Some months from now the conspiracy meme will be 'and Durham didn't kill himself'.
The shoplifting craze is the result of leftist insanity and the delusion of "the noble savage". The pseudo science of sociology looks for cause, "why did Tyrone gun down that family?" "What could we have done to help him find his way in life?" "What can we do now to bring out the good in him" Never mind Tyrone is an amoral monster without a shred of human decency. The bleeding hearts will learn when Tyrone climbs in their window and slits their throats.
Tyrone is a member of the cargo cult...if the cargo doesn't come fast enough or in sufficient quantity then Tyrone goes hunting for those that have it.
Tyrone is a thug. If it wasn't TV's and other products he can resell it would be drugs or armed robbery. Thugs only learn in one way and that is jail. If they fail to learn after going to jail they will never learn and should be kept in jail forever.
This would actually be a very humane practice because other kids/wanna be thugs would see this and make better choices. "What we cannot do is consign Ukraine to Russian domination."
We? Who the hell is we? These necon scum are vermin. This assclown cares so much for a backwater like Ukraine that he doesn't want it "dominated" by Russia. Instead this scumbag wants it dominated by a wildly more corrupt country on the other side of the world...The United States. These evil animals can't die soon enough. Your inability to refrain from vulgar insults makes me think I should consider the POV opposite yours. If all the vile, unthinking shouters are on one side, perhaps I should look more closely. Are you just some liberal turned inside out?
And know that I start from basic agreement with your position on this issue. I found this story, and the maps showing the progression of NATO, to be quite helpful perspective regarding the Ukrainian question.
https://westernrifleshooters.us/2022/01/25/bracken-sends-127/ I didn't know that the Crimean peninsula had been part of Russia since the late 1700's, when it was purchased from the tottering Ottoman Empire. Regarding the rampant and escalating shoplifting waves and creeping wokeism, well.... we all know what will make that stop don't we? There are few other remedies available when avenues of redress within the criminal justice system are stifled from within, and the exchange of ideas in a healthy and civil debate are refused and any protest is met with the cancel culture mob. Nice link.
There is no need for NATO, and most certainly no need for it's expansion. "'hundreds of times' more powerful than Hiroshima atomic bomb"
Yeah, that's how I got my self out of an existential crisis over global thermonuclear war back when in college in the early '80s. After all the news told me Reagan was going to get us all killed. I went into Physics as my major because I wanted to know about nuclear. So one night I woke up all fearful of so many bombs at one time might crack the earth, but then worked through it, realized volcanoes were far more powerful and coming from underground. So the news media was basically, BS. Then went back to sleep. I believe all this war talk is the Biden administration trying to distract the public from their many massive failures. The real scary part is that they might accidentally set off one just because they are so incompetent. We might be in a shooting war before Biden's term is up, and it will probably be with China, not Russia.
Its also steeped in lies. Russia isn't amassed at the border of Ukraine and had made no threats to invade. They will not tolerate a foreign adversary staging there, though. What country would tolerate such an outrage?
The US didn't tolerate Russians in Cuba so I rather thought that the State dept would get a grip on the Ukraine gambit, but they seem as delusional as they were in the Russia, Russia, Russia fiasco.
They "tolerated" it until Kennedy was forced to remove missile installations in Eastern Europe. That whole "the other guy blinked" line was a lie...like everything else about that degenerate queer's presidency.
Debt Up $2 Trillion in 1 Year of Biden

QUOTE: After the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Capitol Police’s intelligence unit quietly started scrutinizing the backgrounds of people who meet with lawmakers, according to three people familiar with the matter. POLITICO also viewed written communications describing the new approach, part of a host of changes that the department implemented after the Capitol attack. Examining the social media feeds of people who aren’t suspected of crimes, however, is a controversial move for law enforcement and intelligence officials given the civil liberties concerns it raises. Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-N.D.) said in an interview that he is unaware of any members who know about the “very, very bad” practice. “Whatever they think that sounds like for security, it sounds dangerously close — if not already over the line — to spying on members of Congress, their staff, their constituents and their supporters,” said Armstrong, a former criminal defense attorney. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/24/capitol-police-social-media-00000948 |
