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...

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...

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 ...

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.

Did you check her out on YouTube? Can you imagine Lady doing a Bach cadenza?

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. She will perform live for free in shopping malls and train stations in London (see YouTube Ladyva) but she will not ship her CD's to USofA becaus...

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.

Enjoy your boneless chicken thighs from the super market.

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. Yet that led to the 40 hour week, paid holidays, medical insurance paid by th...

Mr. liberty, I see no contradictions among the posters in this thread vs what they have posted in the past (including you) Those you identify as hypocritical libs are not writing here of states rights or federal rights. It is a matter of individual human dignity and the expectation that government w...

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...

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

I do remember the punch line of an old joke about two guys in adjoining stalls in a bathroom, seeing only empty cardboard tubes.. The punch line is: Do you have change for a twenty?

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.

The last time I bought the wood pulp product intended to wipe one's crappy butt, I noticed it was identified on the package in a very large type font "Bath Tissue" I had the wonderful thought experiment of pondering the result of using the stuff after taking a bath. I do remember the California slog...

An ally, not an asset. That is an idea that the entire Trump Administration finds incomprehensible. I am sure the good Senator from Main is sending thoughts and prayers. The Senate proudly calls itself a deliberative body. That does not imply any action.

Not just failing to save them, but failure to DO the very job he agreed to take, did the training, and showed up for work that day. He was not just somebody who happened to have a gun and just happened to be in the area. But this is the real modern American community, not a John Wayne or Clint Eastw...

I am sorry, but you are interfering with my freedom. I am free to do my own research and my research has shown that Plato was a dangerous provocateur, and a follower of Socrates, who was executed for conspiring to pollute the innocent minds of young students with dangerous concepts, contrary to trad...

“No family will lose access,” Dr. Oz said. Yes I remember when I had access to a vaccine against lyme Disease. I only had to pay $350 for each of a series of three shots. But I paid it, gladly. Even though latter research indicated it was a lot less than 90% effective--more like 50%. Still I had fri...
