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.

"Virginia bill would mandate teaching of Jan. 6, 2021 as an ‘insurrection’"

Of course the Democrats would do that. Straight out of Lenin's play book. Just more proof that your Democrat party has turned communist. For what it's worth it is no different from the effort to rewrite and twist America's part in the African slave trade. The purpose is to divide Americans and create havoc. This what the left does, they thrive on division and violence.

I look forward to reading the chapter about the 30 year old pipe bomber who lived with his mommy and apparently avoided detection for 4 years even though they had his cell phone data, his license plate, and he bought the materials with his credit card.

Re: Noem. When did Democratic Party operatives take over National Review? Holy Hell, the article was bad but the comments were unbelievable. I though I was at Daily Kos for a while.

To the ruling class in Britain, dissent = hate.

The Democrats here have a similar strategy.

OTOH Kuwait air defense (supplied by who??) apparently had no
problem shooting down 3 US F15s. Kuwait has several EU air defense missiles and PAC2 & 3 US missiles. One source said the shootdown was by a Kuwait F18, others say ground based missiles were used: fog of war.....
