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. |

QUOTE: Woke Harvard Grad Has Meltdown, Says Lost Dream Job After ‘I’ma Stab You’ Video Went Viral When enough of these cretins feel the sting of rules they've been using as weapons, maybe we can go back to a better set of rules. "Beavers causing global warming"
I don't know about global but I have noticed a local effect. A Harvard grad should be able to say I will stab you! The caucasity we will let slide.
OK, I'll cop to caucasity, but only if Claira Janover fesses up to her obvious dumbassery. CJ impresses me as the sort of person I'd slap silly immediately upon meeting her.
Well, after a few weeks away and such, it's good to see the genial hosts on the job.
Spent some time putting 3K plus miles on the ol' road wagon, and one thing stands out - truck traffic has come back with a vengeance. I 40 and I 81 were, at times, so crowded w/trucks that overall speeds were far below the posted limits (quite a change from early this year)... Back to the volunteer gig at TMC, and the reality has no relationship with the news (surprise?), and yes, I'm rather dismayed that Gov Abbott has decided to agree with the foolish. Ah well. Politicians. When they're not kissing babies, they're stealing their lollipops. So school children should go back to school but adults cannot go to bars or restaurants. My state has now mandated masks but children 12 and under are exempt. What the hell is that all about? So now kids don't get covid-19 and give it to adults? This makes no sense at all. Then there is the social distancing rules; where and how did 6 feet become the perfect distance? Shouldn't it be 9 1/2 feet? Or maybe 15 feet? How about 1/4 mile? Do you get the impression the 'experts' have no idea at all what distance makes you safe. The masks don't work, social distancing is a wild ass guess. I can go to package stores and Walmart but not McDonalds. I can't get my haircut but I can get my teeth cleaned. I can't go to church but I can loot and burn stores. The talking heads on TV tell me to wear a mask to prevent the spread of covid-19 but health care workers wouldn't just wear a cloth mask in an infectious environment. The governors should require everyone wear full PPE.
"As with all such decisions, it was made in the best interest of the university and its students.”
I didn't read past that statement. I saw her picture, and that was all I need to finish the story. And poor Ms. Janover and her karma. She reminds me of that Jeff Dunham character, Achmed the dead terrorist. "Silence !! I keel you !!" I'm sure she's made her parents very proud. QUOTE: I'm sure she's made her parents very proud. Making her parents proud is probably a good fraction of the reason why she's in the mess she's in: https://twitter.com/SaltedLime65/status/1278545796879863808 Pretty damn sad, all of it. But still, until these bastards feel the same pain they gleefully inflict on others ... "Daddy issues" - how politically indefensible and ironically correct.
Beavers: Maybe we need more beaver hats?????????
Climate Change...has been going on since our planet has had an atmosphere. Going to National Parks Is Racist, Declares ABC News: ABC News is raaaaaaaaaaaacist. JOBS JOBS JOBS – Happy 4th of July! US Sets Record for Most New Jobs in a Month Ever! 4.8 Million Jobs Created in June! The HORROR!! The horror...for the Dems/Leftists. I am soooooooooooooooooo noit bummed about this. Parents Everywhere Agree: Reopen Schools -- IMMEDIATELY! But, MOMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. We Have Reached Peak ‘Wokeness’ Now That They Burnt The Elk: Now THAT'S PURE Portland. Not So Tough Talking Now: Woke Harvard Grad Has Meltdown, Says Lost Dream Job After ‘I’ma Stab You’ Video Went Viral: Stupid is as stupid does, and boy, she DID stupid. Reminder: How Progressive "Programs" Keep African Americans Down: The word "progressive" always reminds me of cancer. "Progressives" are a cancer. Nigel and Wing sweat in colonial cane fields until the day they die. Wing, being Asian, gets half the wage of Nigel, a Caucasian man. Wing leave 10 pounds, 2 shillings to his children. Nigel; 20 and 4. None of their descendants, field hands all, leave their kids even tuppence. Nigel and Wing have 256 living descendants, each. How much should Wing's receive for the injustice he suffered from those who didn't descend from Wing? IMO, zero. OTOH, what is the statute of limitations on "wage inequity" or "mental pain and suffering"?
Report: NFL to play Black national anthem before ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ at season-opening games
QUOTE: The NFL will play “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing”, also referred to as the black national anthem before each of its season-opening games, according to ESPN’s Jason Reid. According to Reid, someone will perform the song before “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played. https://www.cbs17.com/sports/report-nfl-to-play-black-national-anthem-before-season-opening-games/ I am so tired of this racist activist crap. I will never again watch football (maybe basketball too) and hope their golden goose dies. Screw them; NASCAR is next. Warning to NASCAR you are being stupid. The women's soccer league is pout too, well I never watched them anyway. Get woke, go broke!
What? No, the government should not require eveyone to wear full PPE..
Bras and panties....even they should be elective. Right there with ya. I don't watch TV anymore and only watch baseball, live. Not really an Eagles fan, but:
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key But me, I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song Woo hoo hoo, woo hoo hoo (Homer Simpson double Woo Hoo fist pump) I quit NFL when the half-white kneeler wasn't fired.
Maybe I'll watch the Super Bowl but nada else. This is going to be interesting. All the players stand for the black national anthem, and then they all kneel for the Star Spangled Banner?
I understand that the NBA will allow players to replace their names with woke phrases. I’m sure the NFL won’t be far behind. They can go broke fast enough. You may be cool with it, but I wouldn't want a co-worker so inclined to stabby talk. The thought (and, in this case, talk) is too often father to the deed.
The house on fire analogy; when one house on fire do all houses matter? Who has the the matches?
I'm seeing a lot of articles claiming that the Texas hospitals are overwhelmed, but when you get to the specifics, it turns out to be people saying they're concerned that the hospitals are maybe going to be overwhelmed later at some point.
What I don't read is accounts of serious COVID symptoms in rising numbers of patients. Nor has the death rate gone up yet, though I suppose it's still early enough to call that a potential lagging indicator. Anyway, it doesn't happen until it happens, no matter what the potential is. More info on masks.
