Plan B Forum

Lib told us:

One thing my Confederate ancestors taught the people of the South (which the North seems to have forgotten) is that wars are won and lost long before the first shot is ever fired.

Then why did your Confederate ancestors fire on Fort Sumter in 1861?

That moving hairline is just weird. Mind you it is very reminiscent of Trump.

I worry about another Kent State. Meade I know you used to live in that area. When it happened I was an ocean away and it was literally two days before my finals. I had several American friends who were doing their best to avoid the draft. 25-ish years ago I was living in Buffalo and had a client in...

. . . at Bedminster NJ just got 32/100 on a sanitary inspection of kitchens etc. Sliced lemons at room temperature. Expired milk still in the refrigerator. Salted butter left on the counter, and a sink without soap. . . . For more than three hours, the inspector tallied enough violations — a faulty ...

I heard that Putin is calling for a ceasefire between Musk and Trump. Apparently if you vote for him next time around, he'll get it done on Day One.

We need a popcorn emoji.

From Huff Post. Musk has had enough. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote on X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” He is, of course, talking about...

Freddie was on fire that day. Difficult to believe he died more than 33 years ago. I've seen Queen's performance a number of times, but I've never seen the 'police' introduction before.

Thanks BSG.

In general, I don't have a problem with threatened minorities having the entry ropes lowered on their behalf. But white South Africans are hardly threatened - currently whites, although they are 7% of the population, control 70 of the country's farmland. Whites in general have salaries which are vas...

Trump has pardoned former Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins, who was convicted on federal bribery charges. Apparently he deputized some wealthy businessmen in exchange for $75,000. If he were to be tried again on state charges for the same offense - I'm sure there is a state statute covering that sort ...

Am I alone in seeing a portrait of Trump in this 'food'?

You have to hand it to them: when you think they can go no lower, they find a way. It's uncanny.

I've done CPR courses a number of times either through work or my time as a SCUBA instructor. What those courses do not teach is how to handle guilt when CPR is ineffective. My friend Mike and I gave CPR to Stan for two hours in the back of a Chevy Suburban while Stan's lover Ian drove us to the hos...

It's so like the book review you gave when you were 14 and you forgot you were supposed to read it. "It's about all the ways you can kill a mockingbird - you can shoot it or poison it or just tell your dog to get it . . . ."

Yes but . . . I'm a supporter of the ACLU. Long ago the ACLU supported the Nazi marchers in Skokie Illinois. ACLU felt that the First Amendment protections extended to all including the vilest among us who wanted to spread their message in a very Jewish (over 50%) town. Had I been ACLU at the time I...

In the feral schoolyard that is America the bullies know they don’t have to beat up every kid, just a couple and word gets around.

This.

Those who actually understand and study war say that lethality is not the issue. The US Military is not short of that, never has been, and Hegseth's focus on that is just idiotic. He dismantled the Office of Net Assessment which thought outside the box as to what the next demands on the US might be....

https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-checkmate-how-canadas-quiet The long and short of this story is that Canada, under their new PM Mark Carney, is the one playing chess while Trump is playing (and losing at) Go Fish. Carney, having on his CV stints as the boss at the Bank of Canada and the ...

Yes, the Ford Escort and the Hillman (Chrysler UK) Hunter were small cars by US standards, mid-size by UK standards. Another reason for smaller cars in Europe, apart from economy because gas (petrol) is much more expensive, is parking. US standard parking lot spaces are 8.5 to 9 feet and the UK is t...
