Politics & Religion / Re: Immigration issues
« on: April 22, 2024, 10:04:13 AM »
I don't need to hear that "we are a nation of immigrants"
that "my ancestors came" here on and on.....

First they came here legally
Second most were proud to be here
    (A few brought their European socialism with them but they were drowned out.)
    (The socialist party was always minority not a major party like the Democrats now)
Third they received no free tax payer funded benefits from existing citizens

"Our diversity is our strength ".   
Well not without assimilation.

"All the [illegal] undocumented people are a net benefit ."
Prove it.
I see the opposite.


I could go on.

"Park warns against socialism
The UVU event was sponsored by the Young America’s Foundation, and Park compared the ideology she observed as a student at Columbia with the ideology she learned in North Korea. Park told the UVU audience, “The professors were telling us the only solution was us destroying America and the American Constitution and then rebuilding this country in the name of equity, which meant socialism.”

“These professors learned about socialism in their textbooks, in their comfortable rooms with their air conditioning, on their nice computers with internet,” she said

“They were saying amazing things about socialism and how it would save all of us and take us to a paradise,” she continued. “Instead of a theory, I lived it because I was born in North Korea, a so-called socialist paradise.”

Socialism “promises equality of outcomes,” Park said, comparing it with North Korea’s 51 different social classes. Park explained how the North Korean government divided up social classes after the Korean War, saying landowners and individuals who were anti-communism were put at the bottom. Anyone related to people at the bottom were also placed there.

Living in New York City, Park described conversations she’s had with her friends who “want socialism so bad.” They told her, “Look outside, there are billionaires, and there are homeless people. Capitalism creates inequality, therefore it’s evil.”

“What do you mean that you can be a billionaire?” Park asked. “If you work hard like Steve Jobs, create an iPhone, like Elon Musk creating rockets, you mean that I can be a billionaire? What a concept,” she said.

She continued, “What a thing to celebrate, that you can rise up, that you don’t all need to be equally poor and starving together. Inequality is not a sign of oppression, it’s a sign of progress.”

Politics & Religion / Clinton: Trump will murder opponents
« on: April 22, 2024, 07:05:38 AM »
Does anyone recall I posted a few times yrs ago that if HRC was a queen who lived in the past she has the ruthlessness of a leader that would put to death any political opponent or otherwise persons she does not like.

She is inherently evil.
Funny how she projects her innermost desires on to someone else:

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2024/04/22/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-comments-n2638096

It is SHE who yearns to be able to do that.

She will not be missed when her bell tolls.

I post in this thread because I think this is a VERY EFFECTIVE COUNTER TO THE LEFT'S CLAIM THEY ARE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS ETC.

WE SHOULD BE SCREAMING THE LOUD AND CLEAR THIS LEFT WING ASSAULT ON WOMEN'S AND ALL PARENTS RIGHTS EVERY CHANCE WE GET.

https://okmagazine.com/p/megyn-kelly-no-way-vote-joe-biden-stance-transgender-issues/

In a recent podcast she was cursing up the wazoo at her outrage of Biden forcing woke ideology down parents and children's throats.

She even admitted she voted for a man that includes these letters in his name in '20 for the first time she was so mad.  Hint :  J, B, N , O .   :-D

« on: April 19, 2024, 09:43:30 AM »
"Impeachment had no effect.  We didn't even get a trial."

off the top of my head I cannot think of any Cabinet member more derelict of duty, subverting existing law purposely to harm the country and its' citizens.

yet the Dems voted in lock step to allow this to continue.

and so did Murkowski in the first of two votes
or I think she did not vote or something like that.

Politics & Religion / tax the rich Joe
« on: April 16, 2024, 08:31:15 PM »
"President Joe Biden made a nostalgic return to the house where he grew up in working-class Scranton on Tuesday, kicking off three days of campaigning across Pennsylvania by calling for higher taxes on the rich and casting Donald Trump as an out-of-touch elitist"

I (me) would vote for such legislation in a second with one stipulation:

The rich must be rich Democrats , you know those who are intellectual, vote for the party of the poor, call themselves for the people, upholding Democracy, decent, know it all types like this well known beautiful person who is so wise, caring, and much more astute then most of the rest of us who just don't get it, for instance:

« on: April 16, 2024, 08:18:40 PM »
This part caught my attention:

"  Orthodox Judaism is opposed to Zionism as not only does it contribute to anti-Semitism, but destroys Orthodox Jewish culture "

So I read up on it a bit:

https://theconversation.com/israels-army-exemptions-for-the-ultra-orthodox-are-part-of-a-bigger-challenge-the-jewish-state-is-divided-over-the-jewish-religion-225847

With regards to Theodor Herzl it is important to get up to speed for me:

Theodor Herzl[a] (2 May 1860 – 3 July 1904)[3] was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist, lawyer, writer, playwright and political activist who was the father of modern political Zionism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl

I must say I was not aware of any of this.   :-o

that said I am a zionist . 

Can one be an anti zionist and not anti semitic ?

In my view and in view of the thousands of years of historical perspective I conclude no, not really.

MY says :

"Saying Judaism and Zionism are the same is like saying Christianity and the Socialist party are the same.

Zionism is not a political and economic system.

It is merely the concept that Jews should live on a stretch of Earth from which they can form a political and an economic system of their choosing.  Unlike, in the past living like nomads in every other country to which they must conform. And after hundreds of years being outcasts, persecuted and disliked.

This is my superficial cursory understanding of it all.

not sure how long he will keep his job.....

"Jurors in this trial will listen to testimony and decide whether Trump is guilty of any of 34 counts of falsifying business records. Their decision to convict or acquit must be unanimous. If they cannot agree on a verdict, the judge can declare a mistrial. If jurors have a reasonable doubt that Trump is guilty, they must acquit him. If they convict him, the judge will be the one who decides the sentence, not the jurors."

On one hand I find it unlikely all the jurors are such Trump haters they can get unanimous decision to convict but I also find it very possible we will have a hung jury and a mistrial since to acquit we need all 12 jurors.

But then it would be, if I  understand it correctly  Bragg would have to be willing to seek a new trial.

not long ago we were oil independent.

though I admit since oil markets are global not clear if this would have mattered to the price if we still were.
also since we are supposedly producing so much "record" amounts can't we fill the void though it would take time.

AP-NORC Poll: 7 in 10 Side With Trump in New York Criminal Case

[not stated is probably 7 of 10 Manhattan New Yorkers side AGAINST Trump]

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/trump-trial-indictment/2024/04/16/id/1161140/

" Yet, a cloud of doubt hangs over all the proceedings. Only about 3 in 10 Americans feel that any of the prosecutors who have brought charges against Trump are treating the former president fairly. And only about 2 in 10 Americans are extremely or very confident that the judges and jurors in the cases against him can be fair and impartial. "

YET :

" Still, half of Americans would consider Trump unfit to serve as president if he is convicted of falsifying business documents to cover up payments to a woman who said he had an affair with."

Of course, it is the second part the Dems are so giddy about.  I don't get the numbers - makes no sense.

Politics & Religion / previous post reminds me of this quote
« on: April 15, 2024, 11:17:04 AM »
The quote "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"12is attributed to Lord Acton, a British historian and politician13. He wrote this remark in a letter to Bishop Mandell in 188713. He also added that "Great men are almost always bad men"423. The quote implies that power has a corrupting influence on those who wield it, and that the more power one has, the more likely one is to abuse it

Can anyone imagine if the Dems finish the job seizing full power and making us into one party country?

(their obvious goal)

The system was designed so the media would be an additional check on gov. power but that no longer exists for 90 % of the media .

" A Civil War historian has called the remarks Donald Trump made about Gettysburg during a campaign rally "unhinged."

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, T.J. Stiles said the former president's take on the Battle of Gettysburg, which was fought between July 1-3, 1863, and killed an estimated 51,000 people, was "inarticulate" and "reductive."

51,000 people were NOT killed.  That is the number of total casualties.
In McPherson's 'Battle Cry of Freedom' he estimates that of total casualties during the Civil War battles that around ~ 15 % were deaths.
The rest of course wounded, missing, or captured.
Of course some of the missing were also actually killed vs deserters.

Politics & Religion / Big on boasts, short on specifics
« on: April 14, 2024, 10:32:53 AM »
So what would DJT do at this point other then tell us over and over again that this would NEVER have happened if he was President which is all hypothetical and conjecture and not factual reality?

He states Israel should finish the job ASAP but how much is he willing to commit to US assistance other then supplying arms?

Bottom line he is boasting big.

Questions remain.
I suspect he would not give too much space for Hamas and their Palestinian supporters (the majority)
I suspect he would not cave to the anti Zionists
I suspect he would do his best to supply arms etc.
I wonder if he would commit to any further US involvement.
Sounds to me like Biden has been ultimately supportive of Israel militarily but a failure on the PR front and caving into the anti-semites at home front.

Would DJT support a strike against Iran?

No one can say.

« on: April 13, 2024, 02:02:44 PM »
A scene from CIVIL WAR movie prompted me to look this up.

Used by anti Apartheid forces in S Africa
and apparently as punishment for crimes :

https://allthatsinteresting.com/necklacing

I don't think this was ever reported in US media:
Though the A.N.C. spoke out against it on paper, Nelson Mandela’s wife, Winnie Mandela, publically and openly cheered the mobs on. As far as she was concerned, necklacing wasn’t just a justifiable evil. It was the weapon that would win South Africa’s freedom.

“We have no guns – we have only stone, boxes of matches and petrol,” she once told a crowd of cheering followers. “Together, hand-in-hand, with our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country.”

Her words made the A.N.C. nervous. They were willing to look the other way and let this happen, but they had an international PR war to win. Winnie was putting that in jeopardy."
