    People can be so incredibly stupid and then blame the Gov't.

    A media fast is very healthy for one's brain. Mine in particular. My level of outrage is directly proportional to the amount I allow myself to be mentally tugged off by the various news outlets and their dancing bears, our elected politicians.

    I just like to see the contrast between headlines periodically throughout the day. Just felt it funny as tax deadline Monday looms they felt the need to lead with that.

    I can already see it now, Headline precluding the 4th of July:

    Trump's Rampant Military Spending and What it Means to You


    The amount of money spent on the American Military during Trumps first term could have paid for a fireworks display in every American city. Instead, his cabinet and GOP policy makers have instead used it to build up the military in order to protect the freedoms of which the day is meant to honor. In other words it is meant to deter invaders from seeking the same rights and priveleges that we, the American people enjoy, while denying us all of our very own fireworks display.


    :lol:

    Funny how an April snowstorm will make you take what is available, my wood lean to was close to empty many pieces of wood rejected as the pile was burned. Pieces that were too long or too big or just weird shaped and not worth bringing in are now coveted.

    Illegals being released to all those sanctuary cities these nit wits like to brag how welcoming they are to illegals.

    But why are they saying Trump is using illegals as pawns ?

    Are they now admitting they don’t like illegals ????? Lol

    I pulled it off once again, against long odds but once again I prevailed. I purchased 2 powerball tickets and once again I managed to not match a single number.

    Is it only me who thinks today’s Democrats purposely lie to the masses of people convinced whatever it is they tell them, the masses will believe them ?

    Such as collusion ?
    Racism ?
    Islamaphobia ?
    Trump is a Nazi/ Hitler ?
    Trump is an anti Semite ?

    On and on and on again. Can’t people see thru this ?

    No it's not just you, I would prefer they just state the truth, Trump is just an ass-clown.

    IG and Snap aren't any better.
    See that pretty college girl who died over the weekend @ Fordham trying to get a pic inside their belltower? Just for a few "likes." I mean...yeah Darwin and all but these kids are raised in this environment where everything is click bait. Even her death is click bait. And yes, I see the irony in me commenting on her being reduced to click bait after I clicked the bait.

    It is easier to convince the 2/3 of Americans who are not white males that they are victimized by the 1/3 that are white males than to win on actual policy issues.

    Alinskyism:
    Pick the target
    freeze it
    personalize it
    polarize it


    The reasons these tactics work against conservatives and libertarians is that they largely just want to be left alone. Power is gained reluctantly and used defensively. To them, government should be a shield. Progressives actively seek government power to use offensively - to make you do things. For Progressives, government is a spear.

    President Obama summarized it best - the Constitution is “a charter of negative liberties,” which “says what the states can’t do to you (and) what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”

    Notice I did not say Republicans or Democrats. Plenty of Progs in both parties. More so one than the other, but still present in both.
