Maggie's Farm

We 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.

Professor Suspended After Calling For Male Trump Supporters To Be "Lined Up And Shot"

Here is the embedded link: Professor Suspended After Calling For Male Trump Supporters To Be "Lined Up And Shot"

QUOTE:
Athletics lecturer Phillip Lowcock can be seen in the clip telling students: "(If you think) guys are smarter than girls, you’ve got some serious problems," adding "That’s what frustrates me. There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president. We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don’t understand the way the world works.

"Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don’t want the deans hearing that I said that," Lowcock continued.

What the esteemed academic ignores is that the overwhelming majority of those who will not vote for Kamala Harris will do so because of her political stances-including her recently shifting away from previous radical statements to make her more electable- her word salads, etc. Her being female doesn't enter into the above reasons.

At the same time, a Democrat narrative for both Hillary in 2016 and Kamala in 2024 stated that one should vote for them because they were women. (Though more for Hillary than for Kamala.)

Those Germans. They should follow the American democrats lead: release all the criminals! Of course the American democrats have different purposes for the resulting chaos. However, as the great political philosopher Rahm Emanuel once said, never let a crisis go to waste.

Millions of Christians, religious people say they are not voting in November

Is this true or is Catholic Vote a far left organization out to suppress the conservative vote?

I've never heard of them, but they appear to favor conservatives. They're certainly pro life. I think they're Catholic before anything. Catholics really have no business voting for Democrats at all, but millions still do.

The article doesn't surprise me. A majority of Americans do not like Trump. But that doesn't mean they would vote for Harris.

Unfortunately, that's how I see my choices when I vote; either vote Republican or don't vote. I wish there were Democrats I could consider when the Republican is a poor candidate. But when they won't take the position of a strong America I can't vote for them.

Bill Nye is no Professor Proton. That's a scientific fact!

60 minutes has always been a cut/splice/delete program that practiced deception from day one. The best defense I saw taken many years ago was that the interviewee hired a film crew to film the 60 minutes crew to insure rather unethical treatment would not occur in the final production. 60 minutes refused to do the interview and left 'suddenly'.

I'm old enough to remember the 'F-16 is a piece of crap' because of one tragic incident episode. They also did a hit job on the Rockwell B-1 Lancer which is still in service to this day. 68 aircrew died over 36 years of F-14 Tomcats operations. It's dangerous work. Once we were 'the sons of the pioneers'. What the hell happened? Did our balls just suddenly drop off?

The major difference between Ta-Nehisi Coates and Hitler is that Hitler was able to raise an army and control a country. Hitler may have been more intelligent. Both were/are racist bigots. Why would CBS even interview him except to expose him for what he is.
