" Real Women Don't Cook" One of our sons has always loved to cook but the other not at all. The second son learned to cook probably out of self preservation and for the kids. Now he enjoys cooking and shares when he get quite creative. Feeding the family has never been important to his wife so if he wanted to eat at home he began to cook. I would think they would have gotten tired of eating out so much not to mention the credit card bills. I should mention that I cook and love to do so and come from a line of men and women that were able and enjoyed cooking. Glad the second son finally found his ability to cook too. I find a lot of women quite lazy about cooking healthy and enjoyable meals for their families.

Would the UK even notice if Maduro moved in with them to run the country? The group in there now isn't killing people (yet) but the way they are treating the citizens compared to the invaders is unbelievable and unforgivable.

GB is "Jan 6'ing" the protestors. They set them up. The protestors were far less violent than English soccer fans are in fact if you look at the videos they were just regular people in tee shirts and flip flops who thought they were simply telling their government to stop the murders and knifings. But the police were videoing the crowd who were so naive that they never thought to cover their faces like the far left does. And when there wasn't sufficient contact between the crown and the police the police jumped in and grabbed grandmas. Yes literally they grabbed little old ladies who were doing nothing more than shouting. They threw them to the ground with 5 or 6 men on top of her and wrestled her around to make sure she was bloodied because they wanted to anger the men in the crowd. But most of the men were old too and didn't fight so the police brought in the dogs to add bites to the beatings. Immediately the next day the police went door to door arresting anyone who had shown up even if they did nothing wrong and England's "strange" legal system had them tried, convicted, sentenced and in jail the same day!!! Now watch as GB continues to round up anyone who showed up on videos and jail them. What is different from what Russia and China has done to their citizens?

Great Britian has fallen. The far left Marist/communist have taken over. The citizens are too polite to fight for their country. So it's over. Muslim illegal immigration will accelerate and government repression of their citizens will get worse. In ten years English citizens will be emigrating to Canada, Australia and the US claiming asylum.

'Who are the folks who show up at a Kamala Harris rally?'

One of them's an octopus, apparently:

QUOTE:

Who are the folks who show up at a Kamala Harris rally? So now, suddenly manufactured crowds appear at her rallies this past week and display what seems to be a hypnotized mob.

Maniac: One of them's an octopus, apparently

Note the community note: the image was generated by a parody account.

QUOTE:

hey are not above using fake crowd shots throughout the media.

Also misinformation.

QUOTE:

Naturally, because the left is chronically dishonest, her “campaign” has her flipping on many of her previous, inconvenient statements including the fact that she originally self-identified as Indian-American.

More misinformation. Harris has always identified as biracial. From 2017: Mixed Chicks: Black History Month Person of Distinction – Kamala Harris. From 2006: State of the Black Union 2006: Emerging Leaders.

QUOTE:

They now deny she was ever the “border czar’ despite the voluminous examples in all forms of the media.

Harris never had authority over border security, which the administration repeatedly made clear. From 2021, Republicans try to crown Harris the ‘border czar.’ She rejects the title. Homeland Security was charged with addressing border issues.

QUOTE:

They {Harris and Walz} are both comfortable with infanticide

That's simply false.

QUOTE:

As governor of Minnesota, he has mandated tampon machines in all boys’ bathrooms throughout the state’s schools.

That is incorrect. The Minnesota law directs school districts to make female hygiene products available in restrooms for those who need them. School districts make the decision about placement. For instance, the state's largest school district, Anoka-Hennepin, does not provide the products in boys' bathrooms, but provides them in girls' bathrooms and nongendered bathrooms.

QUOTE:

He let his city burn during the George Floyd riots; for five days he refused to call in the National Guard.

The Minneapolis Police requested the National Guard at 8:13 PM on May 27. The Guard was activated the next afternoon, at 2:30 PM. The worst was over by May 30.

QUOTE:

Walz says socialism is “neighborliness.”

What he said was "One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness." As the author falsely claims Harris and Walz are "communists", the Walz's comment is apt. The most successful modern economies are mixed systems with robust markets and social safety nets, the latter often being called socialism, or social democracy.

The communists call it socialism or social democracy. Everyone else calls it a centrally planned welfare state.

Also known as communism. And also note the Somali 'neighborly needs' programming.

Oh, according to the Quibble-DickZ gish gallop, all the "misinformation" in this "campaign" is coming from Republicans.
Hmmm... about that.

Kamala Harris — who recently copied President Trump’s “no tax on tips” campaign promise — cast the tie-breaking vote in 2022 to pass legislation (The Inflation Reduction Act) that allowed the IRS to track down workers’ tips so that they could be taxed.

"[A]ll the 'misinformation' in this 'campaign' is coming from Republicans."

Which is quite true - if you're a Democrat.

Because the only meaningful definition of misinformation is: any information you disagree with.

JJM: Because the only meaningful definition of misinformation is: any information you disagree with.

No. Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information—without regard to source. Notably, we provided evidence that the information provided in the article was incorrect and misleading. For instance, this is the person who for some reason Trump said “happened to turn” Black recently.

Weak. Real weak.

Huh? The topic was the article, “Who are the folks who show up at a Kamala Harris rally?” by Patricia McCarthy, and the multitude of false claims the author made. See our original comment #3.2 above.

Regarding the fake shot of the crowd around the plane -

1. Nobody in that crowd has yet posted their own candid shots. There should be hundreds of corroborating photos.... nada.

2. Security does not let people onto the tarmac - certainly not for presidential planes.

It takes attention to detail and reality to make a good fake... neither of which are the Left's strong suits.

BenDavid: 1. Nobody in that crowd has yet posted their own candid shots. There should be hundreds of corroborating photos.... nada.

There's all sorts of videos of the event.

BenDavid: 2. Security does not let people onto the tarmac - certainly not for presidential planes.

The video evidence shows the crowd was held back from the plane.

This is pretty standard when new technologies are introduced, whether the printing press, radio, television, email, social media, and now AI. Many people are initially taken in by misinformation until they develop the ability to filter the new media.

I suspect they feel that censoring will keep matters from getting worse. It also may be a case where they just want people to STFU that disagree with The Narrative.

re Climate Fear-Mongering Fail: Great Barrier Reef Sees Third Record Year Of Coral Growth

Probably not a lot of media coverage on this topic as it runs counter to The Narrative.

As was this from last week:

Dozens of night time low temp records have been broken the last 2 mornings. Many folks waking up to temps in the upper 40s and lower 50s this morning. Typical of early October weather for most

re A dispatch from London on the brink of chaos

white British population of London has declined from 60 percent to 37 percent.

That's likely how the United States will look in another 30 years.

I continue to be amazed by the suicide of Western Civilization. It is unbelievable, and yet it is true.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Europe and North America look very much like South Africa's political/economic situation by the turn of the century.

But such a cataclysmic outcome can be dismissed as we are too busy "saving the planet."

Some countries will 'fall' to the invaders but surprisingly I recently read that Sweden now has a net emigration movement of the invaders as a result of tightening rules and enforcing their laws on social welfare and work requirements.
With the US national debt, I suspect that 'free shit' will dwindle and states will begin opting out of federal programs and, instead, are run by their state rules and laws rather than federal 'blackmail and extortion' rules that are no longer affordable. Depressions have consequences, especially for debtor rather than creditor nations.

Whether the Englishmen learn or not is questionable.

https://voxday.net/2024/08/12/educating-the-englishmen/

The wizards of the Democratic party, academia and the MSM are adrift from the real world.
