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.

Dems gone crazy

Of course the Democrats have become communists. Most would deny it but if you simply compared the goals and methods to classic communists goals and methods there would be no doubt. But there is another factor at work; for at least the last 60 years and that is the Democrats have demanded absolute loyalty. Every Democrat congressman had to vote straight party line even if it hurt their constituents. This policy set them up for their shift to the far left. There is not a single Democrat in congress with a mind of his own. All of them, 100% are required to toe the line. It is NOT democracy, it is tyranny.

The Dems always vote in lock step and the Republicans are so wishy washy they have feet of sand.
#1.1 JC on 2024-11-04 11:33 (Reply)
The Democrats and secret dark money donors have spent $2.2 billion dollars to stop Trump! They have hired 5,000 lawyers to litigate the election results. Every battleground state is already reporting election "irregularities" and obvious ballot fraud. Do you really believe that no matter who wins that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?


Tree squirrels matter!

In 2-7 days we will probably know the result of the election. There WILL be cheating and it will be obvious. So obvious that all the left wing media will spend countless hours denying it and calling anyone who acknowledges it names. Right now our government is sending bombers, fighter jets, more navy ships and armed forces to the Middle East. It is likely that this will be used as a diversion to add to the chaos and maybe facilitate the big steal. Imagine a government, a political party, so corrupt and so fascist that they would steal an election and go to war to try to hide the steal from their own people.

Yes! I know! Crazy conspiracy theory...

You will understand this better in a week.

Great article. Obama provides many brilliant and prescient insights.

Bwahhahaha! Prescient? I'll say!!!


"...if you politicize law enforcement, the attorney general’s office, U.S. attorneys, FBI, prosecutorial functions, IRS audits, that’s the place that I worry the most about...


If the FBI comes and questions you and says it wants your stuff, and the Justice Department starts investigating you and is investigating you for long periods of time, even if you have nothing to hide, even if you’ve got lawyers, that’s a scary piece of business, and it will linger for long periods of time.”

Matt Taibbi would like a word! So would James Rosen (and his parents)! They're gonna have to stand in line! Obama used the Espionage act more than any president since WWI!!!


I LOVE how he dismissed Lois Lerner's perfidy and abuse of power with a nudge a wink and a convivial snicker!

The fact that this was within days of the Whitehouse meeting where the whole lying crew of election interferers discussed the hose Clinton was dirtying up the Trump people with the Russia scare is delicious.

You never tire of embarrassing yourself, do you?

Weak tea.

SK: Matt Taibbi would like a word!

The Trump administration had years to investigate. The evidence was that the IRS paid an unannounced visit because Taibbi‘s tax return was flagged for identity theft. No political connection was found, but the IRS changed their policy and no longer conducts unannounced visits in most cases.

SK: James Rosen

Journalists are not exempt from laws concerning espionage or government leaks. Rosen asked a State Department employee for sensitive intelligence information. However, simply asking has never been deemed a crime. Nor was Rosen was ever charged with a crime. The source was convicted of a felony, the leak giving North Korea important information about American intelligence capabilities.

It was a reach that occurred on the edge of what is reasonable exertion of government power vs transparency. Most free speech advocates consider it as crossing the line. It’s reasonable to push back against the government, but it hardly represents anything new or an outrageous expansion of government power.

Again, weak tea.

"As I told you many months ago, this presidential election is a face-off between men and women. Donald Trump has an 8% lead with male voters because men believe Trump will restore our tattered economy, and draw us out of endless wars that threaten to expand into a world-wide conflagration. Conversely, Kamala Harris has a 9% lead with female voters because women want to kill their babies and they have no capacity for reason."

Regarding North Koreans in Russia. When they return to NK, will they be executed?
Cannot imagine letting people see what the rest of the world is actually like and then return to tell others about the exotic things, like food, that they have seen.

Assuming they're even there in the first place. This war has been nothing but one big lie from the beginning. Probably true of most wars. Anyway there's nothing that Zelensky or Blinken say that I can believe at this point.
