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. |

re Ireland Is Rising Up and About to Explode
There was this tweet the other day. Several credible commentators are saying a number of Irish army officers are refusing to use force against their own citizens. Interesting times in Ireland.... https://x.com/PWestoff/status/2042240222323208436 Re VDH: Democrat-leftists' view of the world is only skin deep. They see the symbols of success but not the achievements underneath. So they see participation trophies as real winners. A diploma as being educated. Titles as having real expertise. Skin color as tribal membership. They mistake symbols for the reality.
"Should 80-Year-Olds Take Statins? A Study Shows Big Benefits" I don't care what articles say about me having to take statins, I'm not doing it. Tried to take them due to advice of cardiologist and my side effects stopped me. They had me take something "not a statin but like a statin" and had the same side effects. I have friends that have had crazy side effects too such as muddling their minds and will not take them either.
Looking at the actual study (Statin Therapy for Primary Prevention and Clinical Outcomes in Adults Aged 80 and Older: A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study), there is this line in the Discussion section:
QUOTE: Cardiovascular mortality outcomes could not be validated and were not included. So while overall mortality was reduced, they don't know how many deaths in either cohort were related to CVD. Which I found kind of odd, as I thought that one of the main reasons for taking statins was to reduce CVD mortality rates. Dementia cases were increased in the statin-taking cohort, but not significantly (11.4% versus 9.3% in non-statin cohort), but who knows how many cases of 'muddled minds' there were? "judging Americans by their skin color."
African Americans commit 42 times more violent crimes than white Americans. Hispanic Americans commit 8 times more violent crimes than white Americans. Jessie Jackson was quoted as saying that if he saw black men walking towards him on the sidewalk that he would cross the street to avoid them. Then there is the "teens" epidemic of crime where the media choose to use the term teen to avoid telling us that they are black youths. In most big cities and blue states you cannot go to a 7-11 or a gas station after dark without noticing 1-10 African American "teens" hanging around waiting for a victim or selling drugs. It is widely known that if a violent crime is committed and your TV news doesn't show you the picture of the criminal or give you their name that they are hiding the fact that they are African American or Hispanic. Ironically, most recently they have begun telling you that the criminal is white when in fact they are Hispanic. Are the MSM judging Americans by their skin color and doing exactly that with the intent of hiding the truth? re China Produces "Baby Shahed" Kamikaze Drones For $500
With drones this cheap, targets are only limited by one's imagination, and ability to procure explosives for the warhead. re Nearly sixty years after MLK’s assassination, though, we’re right back to judging Americans by their skin color.
Judging people by their skin color never went away. It has always been so. Mamdani got the job because nobody qualified wanted it. The budget mess was created ten or more years ago, and the fuse got lit in 2020, when the city assumed that all of the Covid money was going to be permanent.
They fell victim to the increasingly believed false assumption that people will not change behavior when incentives change, and the idea that democracy means 90% of the people voting to take away the property of the 10% who are paying 90% of the taxes. Andrew Cuomo would have been a good mayor. But he was politically assassinated by the "me to" assassin team. I assume he pissed off the wrong people in his party so they sent in the squeal team 6 to remove him from office. What was that line from that poem, For the want of a nail a war was lost. Well they took out Cuomo so a female could be governor and she has been a disaster, and in an unforeseen side effect someone who could have been a good mayor for NY City was sidelined and the city got Imam Mamdani who will now do for NYC what Sadiq Khan has done for London. Don't get me wrong, I didn't "love" Cuomo. The point is that his experience, administrative ability and work ethic would have saved NYC. Now, like a drug addict, NYC will have to hit bottom before it figures out how to straighten itself out.
Note to the NY Stock Exchange; I happen to know of a city with a "Wall" St. You could move there, escape from New York City and not even have to change your logo. Fortress America... Susan Kokinda on Trumps gambit: civilization expansion or nihilistic western decline.
