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. |

Rebellion and Unrest in the Global Medieval World
https://reynolds-news.com/2024/01/20/stephen-basdeo-rebellion-unrest-global-medieval-world-thematic-overview/ PETA Comes for Punxsutawney Phil
Show me on this doll where the groundhog touched you. As with most articles found on Reason, the stupid just hurts too much to keep reading. The wishful thinking of libertarianism is on full display. I don’t think they understand the basics of setting goals.
Found at the end of Stuart’s Saturday Miscellany:
QUOTE: Mr. Bragg has a progressive ideological mental block, but the people of New York understand the problem, which isn’t all that complicated. Nope. I don’t think the people of New York actually do understand the problem. Just like their fellow liberals in every blue city around the country, they really do not grasp the problem. They can't admit what the problem is, because they've been conditioned into a blind spot. They can look at it, see it right in front of them, but they can't say that they see it or that something should be done about it.
Really, it's amazing what people can be conditioned into accepting as 'normal', or 'just the way it is'. Scientific alarmism drives DoD climate policy.... No, it is driven by ignorance, stupidity, and political correctness. But then, that is the condition of the current AGW science. Why 2 degrees? What is special about 2 degrees. Why not take it back to global temperatures of 10,000 years ago. Do they know what an ice age is and do they know how long one lasts. Do they know we are still coming out of an ice age.
The IPCC is a globalist baflelgarb institution that employs people who could not get a job anywhere else. That the US military even considers this kind of idiocy is the best reason yet to cut the military budget. They will just piss the money away. QUOTE: Scientific Alarmism Drives DoD Climate Policy . . . Most of the sacrifice will come from the Third World, where 1/3-1/2 of GDP will be required to achieve net zero, but at a further cost of killing millions and plunging more millions into extreme poverty and starvation. In other words, the author didn't read the study or only read it to confirm his biases. The study is actually about moving people from poverty into economic empowerment through innovation and sustainable growth. QUOTE: Since data collection points rarely align with the grid points required by the numerical models, discrepancies of hundred of kilometers exist, which modelers homogenize to allow the data to fit the grid. That statement is completely muddled. While data collection doesn't align with grid points, numerical models are more than capable of analyzing such data. Nor is that homogenization, but interpolation. Satellite have full coverage of the Earth and confirm the warming trend seen in surface stations. What we are actually getting is people in poverty moving across the US border and sucking up US dollars for a better life. And the military sits on their keisters.
Climate data collection is no better than what Michael Mann has collected. It is massaged and meted out to the AGW PR media and then turned into punishment to the producers while the grifters are rewarded. Numerical models? Do remember ALL models are incorrect... some are far more incorrect than others. Guesstimates are not science.
Ain't it great to to have a genius like the Quibble-DickZ to take time out of their busy day to come here and offer us a proper interpretation of what the author really meant? We are truly blessed.
I don't, for the life of me, understand why you guys keep feeding the Zachriel troll.
The climate scam is too good to let go. The various world communities/countries are asking for in excess $100 trillion from Western nations to compensate them for what we did to cause the climate to warm too much. And don't forget that you must also give up your rights. That's right your rights caused the climate to warm, especially your right to own a gun. Well, actually, they want your guns because at some point you are finally going to figure out that they are first robbing you, second enslaving you and third killing you and they are afraid you might be able to defend yourselves.
A lot of people are on to the grift and they don't want to participate. Don't sit back and do nothing, fight back. If you are an employer don't hire people who part of the climate change cult. If you are a consumer don't buy anything from woke companies who are part of that cult. And most importantly don't vote for politicians who are part of the cult or willing to "compromise" with the cult. They, the climate change cultists, intend to take what you have deny you food and comfort and finally to erase you from the earth. Don't stand for it. Be vocal, vote, expose the crazies and the grifters behind the cult. Show up at town halls and ask your representative if they are going to bow down to the climate cultists. Especially judges (if your community is one of those who votes on judges), school boards and local politicians. The one thing ALL politicians fear is the voter and if they see you voting out cultists locally it will get their attention. Time is of the essence, they are already replacing you with illiterate voters who will vote for more welfare without regard to what else they are getting for that vote. The big story today is that experts believe that Biden intentionally worded his warning to the Iran back terrorists to make sure they had time to get themselves and their weapons of war to a safe place. Why would he do that? There is only one answer and that is because he is a traitor, probably told by his CCP handlers to do exactly this. Benidict Biden wants to Make China Great Again not America. Is Benidict Biden a terror threat to the U.S.? More and more it would appear that he is. There will be another attack from Iranian backed terrorists of course and Americans will die and be injured. Connect the dots, Benidict Biden did that!
There's a whole lot that doesn't make sense these days. A president that actively wants to keep the border open - who could close it at any time with legislation that's already been passed, but pretends that new legislation's needed (which coincidentally just happens to have a whole lot of funding for Ukraine pasted into it) - who actively warns the nominal enemy of the US that we're about to do stuff that might inconvenience them...
At a certain point you go "Um... wait a sec, something doesn't quite seem right here." JLawson: A president … who could close it at any time with legislation that's already been passed
Under what specific statutory authority? JLawson: (which coincidentally just happens to have a whole lot of funding for Ukraine pasted into it)
Republicans demanded that Biden’s request for Ukraine aid be tied to border security measures. Biden agreed, but now Republicans are reneging. A lie by omission: "Republicans demanded that Biden’s request for Ukraine aid be tied to border security measures."
A handful of Republicans are in favor of tying these two things together and 100% of Democrats are. That truth is very different from what you stated. The citizens are trying to get rid of these Rino Republicans. They were bought/bribed by the Democrat cabal to vote against the interests of this country. They belong in jail along with all their traitorous Democrat co-conspirators. Anon: A lie by omission
The suggestion was that the linkage was engineered by Democrats, when it was actually demanded by Republicans. It was adopted in order to overcome a Republican filibuster of Ukraine funding, which some Republicans also support. Anon: A handful of Republicans are in favor of tying these two things together and 100% of Democrats are. The Senate should vote this week, but the bill has bipartisan support. While saying the border is in crisis, Trump has come out against the bill, pointing to partisan politics, “A border deal now would be another gift to the radical left democrats." Well, game on. The Biden administration (Obama and his thugs) has asked NSA to capture facial recognition of any and all Americans who go to the Southern Border. The administration is planning a false flag attack on migrants and/or border patrol by "radical conservatives". They are sending people from left wing NGOs dressed as MAGA conservatives to cause trouble and they are going to frame this as another J6. The facial recognition will be used for a dragnet to round up and prosecute any conservatives who happen to show up on the cameras and tie them to the fake terrorists acts committed by the Biden/Obama administration.
Insiders in the NSA, the military, the Texas law enforcement have leaked the plans and the attempted illegal acts by Biden/Obama. This real and now that it has whistle blowers coming forward I expect that Biden/Obama will double down and execute a fake attack on either the Border Patrol or some illegals or both as a pretext to arrest and prosecute any Americans who visited the border. Don't go down there. It is a trap set up by your government. You've seen this before and they like putting innocent people in jail if it keeps them in power. If you do choose to go to the border to document what is going on be careful what you bring with you. Many of the J6 hostages were persecuted for having anything that could in any way be construed as suspicious. Live stream your video. Get pictures/video of license plates especially of people wearing masks/black bloc AND anyone that looks like an FBI plant. Have more than one camera in case you are attacked and your camera stolen. Have a friend stand off videoing you and to track/video anyone who is attacking you or acting up. This is gonna go down quickly unless the Obama thugs see so many cameras and get so much attention that they back down. But don't assume that Obama's DOJ won't still come after you. Take lots of videos and have someone watching your back taking lots of videos Anon: Many of the J6 hostages were persecuted
They aren't hostages. The vast majority were released pretrial. Those who were prosecuted for actions on J6 had the benefit of due process. Anon: You've seen this before and they like putting innocent people in jail if it keeps them in power. Please cite a specific case for discussion. "Those who were prosecuted for actions on J6 had the benefit of due process."
Thank you for pointing out our corrupt two tier justice system I almost forgot that point. They were convicted in DC courts. Now put your thinking cap on and figure out who the jurors are... I'll wait. If they had been tried in Iowa or Ohio almost anywhere in the heart of America none of would have been convicted of these trumped up charges. But they were tried in the swamp by the swamp creatures. Anon: They were convicted in DC courts.
You forgot to provide even a single specific case of the jailing of an innocent person related to J6. Anon: Now put your thinking cap on and figure out who the jurors are... I'll wait. A jury of peers in the jurisdiction where the offense occurred per the U.S. Constitution. "A jury of peers in the jurisdiction where the offense occurred"
A jury of biased people most of whom can barely read or write. Our justice system has been corrupted and weaponized and the fact that you take glee in that says so much about you and your agenda. The communist fascist left are taking over. They have been occupying our political, public and private institutions for decades now and now they have complete control. Literally the only thing in their way from a complete communist takeover is Donald Trump. I would bet good money (while it's still good) with anyone that between now and November they will take out Trump. They want to do it with the corrupt justice system but time may not be on their side so I expect something big, perhaps the CIA will JFK him. It wouldn't surprise me if they are grooming some poor schmuck right now to do it. They have probably already had him buy a rifle and take a picture of himself holding it. In fact they probably have already lined up someone to suicide him in custody when the cameras strangely quit in the most secure prison in the U.S. Anon: A jury of biased people most of whom can barely read or write.
In fact, the people of the District of Columbia have a very high rate of education, including college and advanced degrees. The process of jury selection, or voir dire, has a number of safeguards against bias. On the other hand, you have provided no evidence to support your claim about bias. You have yet to provide even a single case of an innocent person being jailed related to J6. "You have yet to provide even a single case of an innocent person being jailed related to J6"
We will never know because the justice system was weaponized against them and now their name will never be cleared. The justice system is a powerful tool for civilization but once weaponized by the fascist Democrats it is an even more powerful tool for fascism. That is a shame and a personal crime against each of the J6 hostages but it is a far bigger crime against Democracy and our constitution and one that America may not survive. The Democrats zeal to steal an election may well destroy our country. No honest person can now believe that our justice system is honest.

Anon: We will never know
The arrest, charging, and court records for the J6 defendants are public. They each had the opportunity to have their cases tried by a jury of their peers. We even have extensive video of the crimes. You make a broad generalization, but can’t provide any specific information to back up it up.

Maybe Olds or Pontiac, but I believe that plow is a Buick.
Could get a good price for it in China, they like Buicks. |
