How to Keep a Hunting Dog Conditioned in the Winter

Study reveals that much still not known about cognitive decline

Duh. I know one thing for sure: various body parts will fail over time.

The EU is drunk with power.

Whoopi Goldberg’s ignorance is showing, and the consequences of her ‘misinformation’ are disastrous

Biden's Claims About Universal Pre-K Are Malarkey. During the State of the Union, Biden claimed that "children who go to preschool are nearly 50 percent more likely to finish high school and go on to earn a two- or four-year degree," but evidence in favor of universal pre-k programs is lacking.

WSJ: Black Students Need Better Schools, Not Lower Standards. The fixation on racial parity at any cost will doom yet another generation to educational failure.

Via Am. Thinker:

This entitled, infantilized, woe-is-me, the-world-is-against-me mindset is tragic and destructive. It is why "Squad" members AOC, Cori Bush, and Rashida Tlaib ranted, raved, whined, and cried after Republicans ousted Ilhan Omar from her seat on the House Intelligence Committee. "Islamophobia," they cried! "Racism!" Misogyny! An attack on women of color! Etc., etc. They did not mention that the other two congresspersons removed from the committee were Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, both white males. Never mind that two thirds of those taken off the committee for security reasons were white (heterosexual) non-Islamic males. "Racism!" "Islamophobia!" "Sexism!"

Even Trump Didn’t Choose Partisan Divisiveness in the Way Joe Biden Did

That is a good article on dog stuff.
Thanks

Agree. If you have a trained dog you will be welcome anywhere and you will be the envy of your hunting partners. Sure it takes time and effort but the result is well worth it.

It's an interesting turn to have the FBI now assuming that religious people are dangerous, and using the Southern Poverty Law Center as the supporting justification. FBI doesn't have the resources to track this stuff down itself, they use the SPLC to provide the 'definitions' of radical groups? I didn't know they outsourced analysis this way.

No mention of the Opus Dei group with the Catholic Church - I wonder if they're on the list too. In my experience, the most devout are often also pillars of the community, doesn't matter what religion. The FBI has really lost its way to allow this idea to progress past the first low-level manager.

They better watch out for the Holy Name Society and the Sisters, especially the older sisters.

"OK, but I will not shoot with drunk or stoned shooters "

Sure, but the ban point on drinkers is "are you currently drunk?" while the ban point on smokers is "have you ever smoked pot?"

#3 bobby b on 2023-02-10 14:08 (Reply)

I don't care personally that someone once smoked pot. Some people outgrow it and some do not. But IMHO you cannot trust a pot smoker to be "sober". That is they drive high, or they operate machinery or supervise children or make important decisions while high. The pot smokers I know cannot control or abstain from pot. They could be high after breakfast or all day or any day. They could cause death or injury because of inattention or slow reflexes. You cannot trust a pot smoker to not be high or to abstain when they are doing something that could be dangerous like driving, boating using power tools and equipment, etc.

My thoughts exactly.

We have legalized cannabis outlets here in Canada and whenever I'm asked about them, I say:

" Once a pothead, always a pothead."

You can gussy up the business with flashy storefronts and slick marketing, but it's all about living life high on weed.

#3.1.1 JJM on 2023-02-10 16:00 (Reply)

I agree with you completely. It is bad enough with alcohol impaired drivers on the roads, but now they will allow drug impaired drivers out there too legally? Have they developed a test to run if they are pulled over other than a blood test. We were hit by a drunk driver a number of years ago and the police seemed to cover up for the family as he had a history of driving drunk. Now so many think pot hasn't changed over time may get out on the roads and not be aware or care they are impaired.

The SPLC is a tool of the left. It is used to destroy reputations and careers of anyone not in step with the left who has or may some day have power. They started out small, just another race grifter but they have graduated and are a paid arm of the far left in their march towards communism for the U.S. They are the shoulder strikers or knee cappers for the far left. The original disinformation bullies.

James O'Keefe coup ... that is in a position to go nowhere. O'Keefe can start a new venue in a very short time or the dissidents can resign and go away. There is no PV without O'Keefe. There is a PV without the entire board.

The FBI is only one institution that went on the dark side but at least it is finally getting attention.

My father told me when I was very young that the government knew about the Pearl Habor attack before it happened. We were talking about the great depression and WW II and since my father was born in 1906 he knew these two subjects well. He said that the U.S. government allowed it to happen because the leadership felt that we, the U.S., needed to be in the war sooner rather than later and the people in the U.S. were anti-war so this would bring them all into the pro-war camp. But he pointed out that when the crash of '29 happened and when the Pearl Harbor attack happened that although the government knew ahead of time they didn't warn the people.

Today, present time, so much has changed there is internet and TV and alternatives to corporate media and Information is available that wasn't available in 1929 or 1941. What if you knew we are on the brink of WW III and it will start (or become obvious to all) with a nuclear strike? What would you do? How would you prepare? Would you prepare? Maybe you would just continue your everyday life. Maybe you would deny it is true. Maybe it is too horrible to acknowledge that it is true. It is true! Some military experts expect war with China before 2025, less than two years away, maybe. Do you believe it? If you knew that the world's billionaires have built bomb shelters and retreats in the far corners of the earth would that help convince you that it is true? What is your plan? Do you have a plan?

Did you know that Russia has underground nuclear shelters capable of protecting their entire army and equipment and they have under ground bunkers built around essential manufacturing facilities so that they can survive and nuclear war and fight and win the ground war to follow? Did you know that China also has these facilities on an even great scale than Russia? Did you know that the U.S. has nothing of the sort? A nuclear bomb and fallout shelter near DC for the president and congress but nothing for you and nothing to make sure that our military survives. Why?

So, what is your plan?

Most voters do not trust our elections anymore. The 2020 election was massively stolen and the 2022 congressional election was stolen in a dozen states. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/02/your_government_wants_to_keep_you_from_seeing_voter_rolls.html

The Republican House needs to create a committee to review those elections. A good start would be to bring the people who created the documentary "2000 Mules" to testify and then to use the evidence they discovered to bring the actual mules in front of congress to testify. It should be done publicly on TV.

Hahaha! The URLs were dickpics of Hunter Biden. So, the story is that the White House asked that dickpics of Hunter Biden be considered for removal per Twitter's moderation policy. That's not illegal. It's not even wrong.

the White House asked . . . Joe Biden's presidential campaign asked . . .

Biden wasn't even in power at the time, and his team flagged the post as being in violation of Twitter's own policy against the non-consensual posting of nudes. Meanwhile, the Trump White House asked that a tweet by Chrissy Teigen be taken down as derogatory for calling him a "pussy ass bitch".

Wakanda, I mean South Africa cannot keep the lights on anymore. Power outages is the new normal. Trains have stopped running, busses are infrequent, they can't grow enough food, that have been the rape capitol of the world for decades,,, What changed ? I can't quite put my finger on it. Since the mid 90's they have been in a downward spiral. Yet they have billions in diamonds and gold mined every year. What is different... Just not sure...

In totally unrelated news:
"Baltimore: not one student at these 23 schools can do math at grade level"
But it isn't all bad; Baltimore schools as a whole did better than those 23 worst-performing schools: a whopping 7% of students in grades 3-8 were proficient at math. So not everything is terrible. Just 93% of everything is terrible.

I wonder what is different between Baltimore and districts that are average or above. It must be something other than the push for equity in teachers and the sea change of teaching "reading, writing and arithmetic" to hate studies. What could it be?
