The continuous bitching and legal wrangling of government employees fired by the administration proves that an entitled segment of the population thought that once hired by the Fed Tit, it was theirs till death or retirement. Some judges seem to politically agree with them, but legally they will probably get their asses handed over in the near future. A Federal Entitlement “Bake the Cake” moment in the works.
The fight against the Trump perceived fascism continued by “activists” acting like Nazis and having mini-Kristallnachts and vandalizing Tesla dealerships.
The European Union announced its intent of boosting their own defense and extracting almost a trillion dollars to buy equipment and increase military readiness because they believe Trump is going to allow Putin to steamroll through Europe. The thought of taxing Europe for that much money is already causing panic among other EU pols probably worried about what gov program nipples will be diverted to pay for that. How are they supposed to give free shit to “refugees” if they have to buy tanks and rifles? Coincidentally, that almost trillion is the cash amount that US gives to NATO so we may get to do even more savings.
A couple of ultra-Lefty “celebrities” have self-deported to White Europe. It is interesting that they didn’t decide to settle themselves South of the border or Africa or even some of the very rich Middle East countries and one has to wonder why? I mean they kept selling us the idea of Diversity being a strength.
Democrats kept threatening to shut down government by not supporting the Continuing Resolution to fund and then they were surprised when nobody not only did not give a shit, but many said “Hey! That is not a bad idea! Moar tax money saved!”
And while the great shows are happening at the Federal level, Gun Owners are being assaulted at state level with a slew of bad bill in several States and some appear to make it to their respective Governor’s desk. From AWB bill disguised and augmented as restriction of “gas-operated” weapons, still unending efforts to pass Red Flag bills to making self-defense illegal in most cases. I have been saying that Gun Owners think that a couple of SCOTUS decisions has been enough that any more efforts to pass good gun laws is unnecessary and so is the need to remain involved. And then comes the obligatory whining of “Why isn’t (Insert gun rights organization name here) doing more to stop Gun Grabbers?” and the answer is because you stopped giving a shit. And since you stopped caring, why should politicians bother? Eternal vigilance and all that.
If the volume of coverage is any indication, the fight between the Corleones and the Barzinis (Russia v. Ukraine) still ranks low in the thoughts and care of the American people, but it is the Media and pundits who are now starting to realize it. One thing: If Trump actually manages to stop the war and find some sort of lasting peace (or facsimile thereof), you know some enterprising troll will nominate him for the Nobel Peace prize just to see heads blow all over the world.
Spring is almost here officially. So, after two weeks of people in this household sick as dogs and chugging cold meds like soda and candy, we are about to being to indulge into antihistamines. Pollen is effing brutal in Tennessee which is not nice when you sneeze so hard your internal organs get realigned with every explosion.
And I would be remiss on my duties if I don’t leave you with a morsel that will ensure at least 10 extra points in your blood pressure.
Yes, you may have that drink now. Several if you must.
At least the book recognizes another word for 'colonizer' is victor.
Yep, the Europeans invaded the Americas, they killed the indigenous people, and took the land. Just like humans have been doing...well, let me correct myself, just like animals have been doing since life first appeared on this planet. Bummer, sorry, too bad, but it is a historical reality.
And, the conqueror owes NOTHING to the conquered. That they conquered continue to draw breath is proof of the benevolence of the conqueror.
Finally, all these "colonizers are so doubly special bad" people are going to get a serious wake up call when the invaders they are welcoming into their countries (under the guise of diversity and kindness) take over, and enslave the natives. It is what the strong do to the weak, and it will happen to the weak that are opening borders.
"We're going to protest America's racist immigration laws by moving to mostly white countries w/ even stricter immigration laws!!!!!"
As for the gun laws.... it's estimated that IL's gun ban/registration had less than 5% compliance. Even non-criminals are just ignoring the laws now and the courts are doing everything they can to make themselves irrelevant.
