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. |

I do not understand why either the federal government or the state and local governments give to or spend one cent on illegals. The taxpayers in NY City and Chicago and every city and town in America paying to house or feed illegals should revolt. Give them nothing but a ride to the border or back to their country. I do understand the lawyers, NGOs politicians and other grifters will try to use the courts to force it. Great! If a judge rules that money must be found to house and feed the illegals than take it from their budget.

I recall back in the 80s, a still largely conservative California voted for a proposition to ban all wealth transfer payments to illegals. In very short order, it was declared unconstitutional by an activist judge. Other judges had already determined that foreigners enjoyed all the protections of the Constitution that citizens had, thus denying payments would be discriminatory. I seem to remember that was the point where the exodus from California began. Right but, why do it? Eric Adams has people meet them at the bus and give them stuff and directions to housing or to someplace where someone will help them find housing. Why even do that? Let them figure it out themselves. I know people who have lost housing and no one finds them and hands them a welcome kit and a form to get them into a motel. Why do anything regardless of what a court has said. Let them bring it to a court and if a court decides they get free stuff make it clear as a bell to the voters that you intend to take away serv ices to give the illegals free stuff because judge __ said so. Don't give the courts a pass. And make the first cut in services the court system. Cut their staff, their marshals, their security, even close the building so that when the judge shows up in the morning he can't get in. Where am I going wrong thinking that the mayor runs the city and the budget and he can set priorities. IF they DON'T do this then THEY are complicit. Simple as that. Make the taxpayer/voter know that you are cutting services and make it painful and make sure that everyone knows who mandated it. Show their picture, give out their address, screw them!! I don't want nameless people to take my wealth put their picture and address on the internet.
Essentially this is my problem with all the Republicans too. They say things to make you think they care but then don't do shit. Any city, any city council, stand up and vote to cut the budget of the courts that rule against you. And if it is a higher court, doesn't matter cut the budget of the court you have control over. They will get the message. This weak ass failure to legislate and govern pisses me off. The courts are NOT god they are an equal co-branch of government. Legislate!! Govern!! Let the courts whine and shed tears. But stop fucking over the citizens. Turning Chicago red ... click-bait. I don't think our voting machines even have a Republican lever. Oh, wait ...
Trump is my candidate this year, but I wouldn't have a problem with Ramaswamy winding up in the Oval Office.
It’s Al Sharpton. What other kind of hustle does he know besides race? Remember Tawana Brawley?
The Southern Poverty Law Center exists for no other reason than to rake in donations from the gullible and the Chicken Littles who think the sky is constantly falling.
Re: Study Found No ‘Extremism’ Problem in the Military
Well that depends on your definition of “extremism” (or in this case, Biden’s), doesn’t it? RIGGED: Death of the American Voter | Official Trailer

In The New York Times, "Colonialism" Explains Everything
I get a kick out of the Hamas fans in the US talking to us about the "colonialist" Israelis. All of us are colonialists in this land. The US began life as a former British colony. The Arab/Pali recent immigrants to the US, by imposing on us the "Israeli oppressor" narrative that they learned back in the Middle East, are most certainly colonists in that sense. Of course there are extremists in the military. Consider the Colin Powell Doctrine.
With the release of the Epstein documents you might think the most important part of the story was who visited his island to rape young girls. But in fact the most important part of the story is why? Why was Epstein a billionaire? No one knows where he got his money. SO where did his money come from? And how is that connected to his videos of billionaires and politicians raping young girls? Once you understand that it appears Epstein was extorting money and political favors from these people and he was probably financed by international money probably from our enemies it becomes more clear why Epstein was killed. Whoever owned Epstein knew or believed that Epstein might use all his knowledge to cut himself a better deal. What Epstein knew could never become public and he had to be killed to prevent that. Imagine the power someone would have to have to kill a prisoner in what may have been the most safest prison in the world. Epstein was killed to shut him up and NOT about who visited his island BUT rather about how he used that to force politicians to do his and his handlers will. THAT is the story and not who had sex with minors.
And if you want to know who is complicit in this massive extortion of our government just look at those who in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary still push the suicide theory; Like Bill Barr for example. And what is Bill Barr doing now for his handlers??? Trying to abort Trumps campaign. Are you beginning to understand the scope of this story. So what is the story? Quite simply Epstein was the front of an international effort to lure American politicians into compromising situations so dire that they would then allow themselves to use their power contrary to the best interests of America. This helps explain the many things in the past 30 years or so that our politicians and our government has done to sabotage our country. Do not forget that all of those compromised politicians are still around still doing the bidding of foreign handlers. Epstein may be dead but all of the incriminating videos and documents are still held over the heads of those who got caught in this honey trap. It is even likely that the FBI & CIA themselves are using these videos to force politicians to do their bidding. |
