Re: Capt. Bone-spurs, truth and respect

Mr. Liberty, you do NOT remember correctly, Many big names on the right had children who pulled strings to get out of the draft. They were certainly 'outed ' by the left as 'chicken hawks.' Joan Baez was scorned by many on the left for her lack of support for her husband after he went to jail as a w...

Re: Hammurabi cries out in Uvalde, Texas

Andy, I ask you a few simple questions. Is this trial in Texas? Is the incident commander a sworn police officer? Considering these two questions, the answer is clear--whatever the incident command does is perfectly ok. Perfectly. Just like the national C-in-C has declared that anything ICE does is ...

Re: Capt. Bone-spurs, truth and respect

I still am thinking gloom and doom for the bi-election this fall. Reality seems to have no impact on the American voters. Trump has behaved consistently all his life. We know nothing about his wisdom, morality, ethics, goals in life, that was not known about him in 2015, Yet he still gets elected an...

Re: The Worst of the Worst

ICE arrested a person who 'demonstrated' in a church that uses an ICE agent as a volunteer lay-pastor, sort of. I am not very well informed about this. To me it appears that she may actually have been appropriatly taken in by ICE. BUT that is never enough ICE distributed her picture. Then later they...

I predict Rahm Emanuel (former Ambassador to Japan) will announce he is running for President.

Re: You really, really, REALLY couldn't make this shit up

I heard parts of this speech on my car radio as I was running errands this morning. I was not surprised at the various individuals who said to him "Sir I want you to know. . . . " and also the '"not many people know. . . " because these phrases always introduce another unbelievably unbelievable fals...

Re: Books and literature recommendations

Are you fascinated by obscure words? I strongly recommend 'Guilty By Definition' by Suzie Dent. It is an English style who-dun-it centered on the fictional editorial staff of a fictional version of the Oxford English Dictionary. Every chapter is headlined with a word I have never seen before. For ex...

Re: Trump is out to conquer the entire North Atlantic

Now I am slightly puzzled. Only slightly because this is testing my ability to accept that the Leader of the Free World, and the legally elected President of the USofA is really that (stupid? evil? crazy?) I have seen on my computer screen, selected by some algo, not me, that Trump has informed the ...

Re: Trump is out to conquer the entire North Atlantic

Well, let's just think about this. Canada, Greenland, Iceland three more states in these United States. Wouldn't that be six more anti-MAGA senators?
I can't calculate how many that would be in the lower house of congress.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there are some things up with which I will not put. Ladyva will not sell me, (or any other American) her new cd--Steam Train Boogie.

Re: European Culture

Corinthians 5:12 ain't bad. I also like Galatians 3:27-28 . That one is particularly interesting when discussing queer and trans issues.

Those illegals using fake SS cards, are actually paying into accounts of real people who will benefit from that foreign worker in the meat packing plant paying into their account.

Re: Terrorist Blonde Woman Rams ICE Vehicle!!

Joe Guy, thank you for giving us this video connection. I saw similar material on the CBS national news, but here I can stop it and look carefully. This is the first time I have noted the bullet hole in the windshield. That is important. It indicates that shot was fired from the side, not in front o...

Last night I dreamed. . . Perhaps. Joe Hill went on to organize. Very few living today remember the wars fought in the American hills between union mine workers and the mercenaries hired by the coal and copper mine owners.

Re: For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn

Never heard about the connection between measles and epilepsy. Perhaps that's why it seems to me epilepsy was much more common in my childhood than it is now. First aid instruction in Cub Scouts included handling of epileptic fits. I was not in a big grade school, (less than 100 kids in my 8th grade...

Re: For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn

A check of Wiki shows nothing about measles and sterility. Thanks for the information on mumps. However, measles DOES cause blindness.

Re: For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn

It may be my senior senility, but I 'remember' one of the effect of measles among those who do not die is that it can leave the male patient permanently sterile. A prime example of the sins of the parents visited on their sons.
