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. |

President Trump sure has a lot of irons in the fire. Democrats in blue cities are in open rebellion. Demanding war on the federal government. All because the federal government is enforcing laws that democrats helped pass in congress. All the while claiming, their favorite claim, when they don’t get their way, Our Democracy is under attack! When will the shooting war break out?
God bless the Iranians that are marching against the same type of totalitarianism that is alive and well in every blue city. I pray they are successful in getting their long overdue freedom. And then there is Mexico. A thorn in the side of America since the early nineteenth century. I feel bad for the average Mexican. They are good, peaceful people, that have had constant bad governance since their inception. ¡Viva Cristo rey! It's interesting watching what's going on. Trump's multitasking like I've never seen a President do. The country, the world will look different in a year.
Some will think it worse, some will think it better. But you can't please everyone, especially those determined to not be pleased by anything... Marco Rubio has played a huge part in the foreign policy success. Hugh Hewitt was pointing out yesterday, that Rubio is the best Secretary of State of his lifetime. Little Marco, no more.

Because one man having the unilateral power to remake not just the country but the world is exactly what is meant by a republic. What is really going on with the shooting in Minneapolis? There is a globalist group that is behind this unified effort to destroy the West. The targets are Europe, Canada, Australia and of course America. The goal is to take out the ability of these countries to resist the worldwide movement to a communist style worldwide regime. Most of this movement is funded by China, Russia, multinational billionaires and diverse groups of hateful and deranged people. Ever since ICE began nationwide deportations the left has increased the level of violence ad rhetoric with a single goal in mind; ICE shooting a “protester” so that could be used as a rally point to bring in more useful idiots and more violent protests and more deaths because that is what fuels a communist revolution. This is a fight for our country, a fight for the Western Democratic countries and a fight for the future of the entire world. That may seem like exaggeration or hyperbole but it is the entire purpose behind every riot, every mass demonstration, every over reach of government and politicians that you have seen in the last 30 plus years. That is the war we have been fighting without our even knowing it. The odds are that they will win. They will create sympathetic or patriotic events that will lure and lull the general population of Western countries into openly or inadvertently cooperating with the very forces that intends to conquer and kill you. Scratch a far left; activist, professor, politician, common man or woman and they will bleed open socialism and hidden communism. Trump is a pain in their ass but in the end merely a speed bump slowing them by maybe four years or so. The fight is here! Ignore it at your peril. They are gonna win and when they do you must be eliminated or enslaved.
You'll need to update the Hamas piece. The memo has gone out, apparently based on real polling numbers, and suddenly Progressive Democrats are 'all in' on condemning Hamas and antisemitism. Mamdani, Schumer, Nadler, AOC, Pritzker, Hochol, Gillibrand all have posted prominently on social media that Hamas is a terrorist organization, antisemitism is wrong, 'We Stand Behind !' etc. etc. etc. Turning on a dime, they all are. Speculation that indictments are coming down, so distancing is required.
That and their Iranian paymasters are in deep trouble right now.
But their Soros and Sanders paymasters have not been touched!
Trump does have a lot of irons in the fire, as the Congress and
Senate do nothing. The Dems will pull another shut down and nothing will get done. The Dems are punting till the mid terms that they will win as the Republicans sit on the side lines as usual. Forget about out side global factions, our own self serving politicians will finish the down fall. The average American is still financially hurting. Show were any products have declined in cost. In NY we just got higher electric rates, health insurance rates, and food is through the roof. Trump can not solve everything. The American people can if they ever got engaged. I am OK with the new food pyramid. After all it is just a suggestion. I was OK with the old one too because I don't pay that much attention to suggestions and haven't since I was about 14. They now suggest 6 oz of grain. I'm cool with that but I love bread and butter and can eat an entire loaf of French bread in one sitting.
I love cereals and my favorite is a good granola. I can eat 2000 calories worth of mac & cheese at one sitting. I love pasta and rice and I'm pretty sure about half my calories come from grains. I love meat too, nice fatty meat like bacon or any beef, pork etc. I like most vegetables and if it's on my plate I eat them. I love fruit and I do eat a lot of fruit. mostly in pies but I eat them all and love them. Beans, eggs, nuts! Yep I love them too and eat a lot. But when I go to a potlach or a buffet I typically first get a plate of food much like anyone would. A couple of different meat choices, baked beans if it an option, a paste, preferably mac & cheese, a veggie. Then I get desserts, whatever they have. Then I go to the dessert line again and another plate of desserts, more choosey this time. Then if I'm still hungry I go for ice cream if they have it. maybe some fruit. I can't remember... we were talking about some suggestions from some government entity or something but I gotta go because we have chocolate... |
