Dear MAGA: 20190219 Open Topic

This TRUMP DOCTRINE TUESDAY Open Thread is VERY OPEN.

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on. Keep it civil. Rules much like the Old Treehouse, except of course Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged. A couple of other important things to consider. This here link….

https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/dear-maga-open-topic-20190101/

….contains some general guidelines for things that are really, really not kosher to post here.

Also consider Wheatie’s Rules (as amended by SteveInCO):

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
  4. No shooting at the nuclear warheads.

Remember – this is a free speech zone. Barring the few minor things that can get this site closed down, you ain’t gonna get banned.

And once the Gab commenting layer is here – BOOM.

– – · –

The current plan for Dear MAGA threads is to switch to a format where people have ONE NIGHT A WEEK that they take care of the thread. For example, Wheatie will put up the SATURDAY thread on FRIDAY NIGHT.

  • Monday – Wolf
  • Tuesday – Wolf
  • Wednesday – Wolf
  • Thursday – Wolf
  • Friday – Wolf
  • Saturday – Wheatie
  • Sunday – ThinkThinkThink

If anybody else would be interested in being a Dear MAGA author one night a week, feel free to let me know.

Remember that our greatest gift to President Trump is PRAYER!

WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU!


If you have not checked out President Trump’s speech on Venezuela – AND Cuba – AND Nicaragua – AND SOCIALISM in general, which is about to be removed from this hemisphere……

Check it out.

More Q, #2803 , 2804 and 2805 😁

Roberta

I just bookmarked /patriotsfiight/ under Qintel for ease of checking on a daily basis. Something tells me Q is going to be posting most of the night…it is already tomorrow EST. Holding down expectations, but it isn’t easy!

Sue Mcdonald

Patriotsfight is the only place where Q posts, if the Q drop sites go down we will be able to find Q posts at Patriotsfight ,Is Q letting us know that the other sites could go down? The waterfall has begun! I see more and more people are coming out of there stupor and questioning whats going on. thank goodness.

Roberta

I don’t think Q is posting on /patriotsfight/ yet, but still on [what exactly?] Is he posting on the Q research board?
I can’t find anything but the placeholders on Patriots Fight. And anons can’t respond to anything on Patriots Fight. I don’t really need to know the details, but I am curious.

“Every time you assault and stereotype a person, you’ve ripped the social fabric. Every time you see that person deeply and make him or her feel known, you’ve woven it.” David Brooks (2/18 NY Times) is right that we all need to be weavers if we are to heal our beloved country.

Yeah, you know, we’re all ‘weavers’ now…

“Baker Street” and “Right Down the Line” are my two favorites (‘City to City’ album, 1978).

“It certainly beats the awful NOISE they call music now. (I am partial to jazz, blues and ragtime.)”
_______________
I have tried to get into jazz a few times, but I haven’t really gone much further than a few of the classics.
I do really like Thelonious Monk’s cover of ‘Abide with Me‘ [1957, album titled ‘Monk’s Music’] (19th century hymn, written by Thelonious Monk’s uncle, William H. Monk), which curiously doesn’t actually have Thelonious Monk on it!
It’s horns only, with John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins on tenor sax, Gigi Gryce on alto sax, and Ray Copeland on trumpet:

.
I like these for jazz instrumental:
Chet Baker – Chet (1959)
Kenny Burrell – Midnight Blue (1963)
Miles Davis – Kind of Blue (1959)
Bill Evans – Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961)
Bill Evans – Waltz for Debby (1961)
.
For jazz vocal:
Louis Armstrong – Satchmo Plays King Oliver (1960)
Louis Armstrong – World on a String (1960)
Louis Armstrong – Plays W.C. Handy (1955)
Louis Armstrong – Satch Plays Fats (1955)
Ella Fitzgerald with Duke Ellington – Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook (1957)
Ella Fitzgerald – Sings the Cole Porter Songbook (1956)
Ella Fitzgerald – Intimate Ella (a.k.a. ‘Songs from Let No Man Write My Epitaph’) (1960)
And one of my favorites:
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella and Louis (1956)
Vince Guaraldi Trio – Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus (1962)
Vince Guaraldi Trio – A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) (the one jazz album everybody knows 😁 )
Billie Holiday – Songs for Ditingue Lovers (1958)
Billie Holiday – Body and Soul (1957)
Holly Cole Trio – Don’t Smoke in Bed (1993)
Nat King Cole and his Trio – After Midnight (1956)
Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto – Getz/Gilberto (1964) (with ‘The Girl from Ipanema‘)
Peggy Lee – Bewitching-Lee! (1962)

scott467

edit / correction:
Billie Holiday – Songs For Distingué Lovers (1958)

“It certainly beats the awful NOISE they call music now. (I am partial to jazz, blues and ragtime.)”
_______________
I don’t think I know any ragtime, beyond what I have heard in movies (e.g., ‘The Sting’, maybe?).
For blues, I probably like a lot of it, but I’m really mostly familiar with blues rock, or rock derived from blues (e.g., Led Zeppelin I [1968], Janis Joplin’s ‘Pearl’ [1971], Little Feat, Allman Brothers).
I have a few what I would guess might be called ‘blues’ albums:
Ray Charles – Genius Sings the Blues (1961)
Eric Clapton – Unplugged (1992)
Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa – Live in Amsterdam (2014)
Ted Hawkins – Next Hundred Years (1994)
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble – The Sky is Crying (1991)
Muddy Waters – Folk Singer (all acoustic) (1964, with Buddy Guy, Willie Dixon and Clifton James)
I should probably have some B.B. King.
And of course Jimi Hendrix played blues, as well as his more famous FM rock radio regulars.
Rolling Stones: ‘Beggars Banquet’ (1968) and ‘Let it Bleed’ (1969) are both considered “blues rock”, but probably not what you’re referring to 😉

SingularZoe

well, Scott, hate to be a stick-in-the-mud. I also enjoy a very few of those, but when I find they are part of the drug culture or promiscuous sex, I pretty much don’t want anything to do with their music, just taintes everything for me. it also interrupts my enjoyment of the few I like. Just me.

PeteC

Or Satanic worship (Lucifer). Agree Zoe!

SingularZoe

And people simply don’t realize, but if you study the history of rock and roll, including so-called “Christian” rock, you find out the truth. I have to remember I didn’t used to know, and I liked some of it before my eyes were opened to the truth. It has a powerful pull on people, I’ll call it kind of primal, and people often become hostile when one tries to inform them.

rayzorbak

Well aware of this aspect of music…..
That is why the lyrics are so important to me.
I love to Rock, but often change the words…..
i.e. Highway to Heaven (adapted from AC/DC)

SingularZoe

Sorry to say it isn’t just the words. Research the beat, the origin of the rhythms–it’s sexual, very evil.

rayzorbak

As I said….. I am VERY well aware of all that you are talking about…… being a Christian Musician…. I know all about it. Have done a lot of deep dives into it.

scott467

“And people simply don’t realize, but if you study the history of rock and roll, including so-called “Christian” rock, you find out the truth.”
________________
What if you don’t study it, what if you just take music as it is, with a pure conscience?
Or even if you do study it, would it not a matter of conscience, as the Scriptures teach?
For example, 1 Cor 10:25-33, or 1 Cor 8:4-13, where Paul acknowledges liberty, but also to take heed so that our liberty would not become a stumbling block to others who for conscience sake or weakness in faith (or knowledge) may disagree?
I would certainly abstain from any such music around someone for whom it was an offense of some kind.
I don’t really know any Christian rock. I’m a little leery of the concept, simply from the standpoint of sound doctrine. There is so much error taught today, and I would expect that some of that error shows up in contemporary Christian music as well.
There are of course some classic or ‘popular music’ type songs that have Christian themes, e.g., “Jesus is Just All Right (with me)” (the Doobie Bros.), ‘Whenever God Shines His Light’ (Van Morrison), “Redemption Song” (Bob Marley), etc.
Or Alison Krauss, singing ‘Down in the River to Pray’. Our song leader chose this song a couple weeks ago in church, and to my knowledge we had never sung this song as a congregation. The song leader and the elders certainly seemed surprised that the congregation knew this song, and sang it like we wrote it 😁

scott467

“It has a powerful pull on people, I’ll call it kind of primal, and people often become hostile when one tries to inform them.”
_______________
Well now you’ve ruined it for me, I can’t become hostile now, without you being able to say ‘I told you so!’ 🙂
.
“I have to remember I didn’t used to know, and I liked some of it before my eyes were opened to the truth.”
_______________
If it was something which bothered you, I would certainly refrain from playing it in your presence.
Likewise, in matters of conscience, should we not be careful to not bind others?
It reminds me of women wearing a covering for their head during worship services. Some women do, and others do not, each with a clear conscience. Those who do wear a covering do not bind that practice on those who don’t, and vice versa.
Music in itself is certainly not sinful, and while certain types of music have traditionally been associated with sinful conduct, hasn’t most public entertainment (e.g., theater) been associated with similar conduct, throughout the ages?
It seems that, like most things, music should be considered on a case by case basis.
No doubt, many songs have been written by very sinful people. Were all of the songs in the hymn books at church not written by sinful people as well?
Does that mean that we can’t sing them with a pure conscience, to use it for good, so long as what the words say reconcile and harmonize with God’s Word?
I am not trying to make excuses for anything which is clearly wrong. The reality is that we live in a secular world, surrounded by sin almost all the time. We need to be cognizant of that reality, and resist temptation.
It is an interesting subject.

SingularZoe

Yes, my friend, it is an interesting subject, and certainly all music is not sinful, and I think the Lord gave it to us, one of His many gifts. Peace in Him.

scott467

“well, Scott, hate to be a stick-in-the-mud.”
______________
That’s okay, mud without sticks is like cement without rebar 😁
Musicians are just people, i.e., none are perfect. Many have great songs, and other songs I could do without. If I threw the baby out with the bathwater (so to speak), I would miss some music that I have truly enjoyed in this life.
Life is hard. Joy is (too often) few and far between. Sometimes music helps fill the gaps. Or maybe sometimes it’s just a comfort. I know for many people, music is not so important, they can take it or leave it. For other people, music is something they connect with, in a way that others don’t seem to.
There is good and bad, of course.
To borrow a line from The Band’s “The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down”, you take what you need and you leave the rest.
.
“I also enjoy a very few of those, but when I find they are part of the drug culture or promiscuous sex, I pretty much don’t want anything to do with their music, just taintes everything for me.”
______________
I understand, and there are some songs that are that way for me too, those which are overtly or primarily about promiscuous sex or a positive portrayal of drug use.
Those songs which have a negative portrayal of drug use would seem to be a good thing — or at least not a bad thing — and generally speaking, it seems that most (or at least many) songs of the classic rock era that reference drugs do so in a negative way.
For example, ‘Sister Morphine’ (Rolling Stones, ‘Sticky Fingers’ album, 1971) is certainly not a song that would make anyone want to go out and try morphine (lyric: “Cause you know, and I know, in the morning, I’ll be dead…“).
.
“it also interrupts my enjoyment of the few I like. Just me.”
_______________
Same for me, more so after I became a Christian, when I put more thought into what certain songs were saying.
Music is an art form, and as such, there is usually a wide range of potential interpretation. That seems to be one of the main reasons song writers generally don’t like to explain their songs, because they mean different things to different people, and if the artist gives their own meaning or interpretation, it would be like forcing you to hear it in a certain way, that would change what it means for everyone else.
Instead, in most cases, each person sort of makes a song ‘their own’ based on their own life experiences and what they bring to the song.
Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue’ (1971):
Blue… Songs are like tattoos…
Hey Blue, here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in…

SingularZoe

I understand, Scott. I very much enjoy music, always have. I’ve just had to start questioning a lot of things in my life, and it has been hard, but it’s definitely been worth it. Do like that song, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Brings back memories.

NebraskaFilly

Ah! You listed ALL of my favs!!! There were only one or two in that list that I didn’t recognize. Fantastic music that I still listen to today. You missed one tho: Rita Coolidge.

scott467

“There were only one or two in that list that I didn’t recognize.”
________________
Let me guess!
Harry Chapin, Fairport Convention, Little Feat or Bill Withers?
Harry might be the least well known, which is a shame. He has some of the best ‘story’ songs…
Fairport Convention included Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson (among others). Sandy Denny sang the female vocal part on ‘Battle of Evermore’ (Led Zeppelin IV, 1971), which many people will know.
Bill Withers is probably best known for the song “Lean on Me (when you’re not strong)”.
Little Feat may be best known for the song ‘Dixie Chicken’ (the live version from ‘Waiting for Columbus’, 1978, gets most of the radio play). The lead singer was Lowell George. He’s long gone now, but his daughter Inara George sings a very nice solo piano rendition of her father’s song “Trouble”. The original (sung by Lowell) appeared on Little Feat’s second album (Sailin’ Shoes,/i>, 1972).
Inara George’s cover of ‘Trouble’ is on the 2008 Little Feat Tribute album, called ‘Join the Band’:

NebraskaFilly

Fairport Convention and Bill Withers were the two I didn’t recognize.

Wolfie, I tried to comment how much I liked these comments of yours, but it wouldn’t post, then it simply deleted my comment, and by the time I figured out what was going on, I could no longer remember what I was doing and had to start over. But you’re worth it. Lol.

singingsoul

Zoe I agree concerning music.
For me music needs to feed my soul otherwise I am not into it.
Rock Roll does not do it for me. I like classical music , Gregorian chants and Hildegard of Bingen music.
I enjoy some Jazz if in the mood.
Todays music is horible that kids listen too.
When my granddaughter was about 2/12 we had bought her a wind up music box with childhood songs drove her parents crazy. They complained what a pain it was driving in the car and she wound up the music over and over..
One day her father put stereo with classical on she got up walked to the speaker put her music box in front trying to out drone her fathers music.

SingularZoe

SingingSal, love the music box story, so funny. I like Bach and string quartets and nice congregational singing–like a capella a lot.

scott467

“I like Bach and string quartets and nice congregational singing–like a capella a lot.”
_________________
I like Janos Starker’s ‘Bach Suites For Solo Cello’, Suite No. 2 in D Minor. It will sound silly, but I heard it played in an episode of ‘House, M.D.’, and liked it enough to track it down 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXYHnYKuRy0
Handel’s ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ is probably my favorite piece of ‘classical’ music, I think it always has been, I don’t really know why. Even as a child I think I was awed by it.

“I like Bach and string quartets and nice congregational singing–like a capella a lot.”
__________________
A capella. In the style of the chapel or church.
……………………
In Italian, a cappella means “in chapel or choir style.” Cappella is the Italian word for “chapel”; the English word chapel is ultimately (if independently) derived from the Medieval Latin word cappella, which is the source of the Italian cappella as well.
……………………
There were no musical instruments in the early church, neither is there any Authority in Scripture for instrumental music in New Testament worship.
If I recall correctly, there are 11 Scriptural references to singing praises to God in worship, and every one of them is vocal only.
Like so many things, it eventually became a source of controversy, because some wanted musical accompaniment, while those who adhere to the Authority of God’s Word cannot accept the addition of musical instrumentation in worship.
It may seem like a small thing to some, but there are examples in Scripture showing that God takes proper worship quite seriously (e.g., two of Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, were killed by God for offering strange fire, i.e., fire from an unauthorized source). And if you allow one thing, how can you disallow the next thing, without being a hypocrite? After that, where does it end? This is the problem, and how we end up so many different churches teaching different things today.
It is a very interesting study. If I remember correctly, Pope Vitalian introduced the organ in the late 600s. Thomas Aquinas was against it. Nearly all of the Protestant church leaders (Luther, Wesley & Clarke, Erasmus, Calvin, Beza, Spurgeon, et al) rejected musical instruments for the same reasons as Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Eusebius, Augustine, and Chrysostom — because it was not ‘a capella’ and not according to Scripture.

scott467

edit / correction: I think it is Starker’s ‘Suite for Cello Solo No. 1 in G Major’, actually:

.
From this episode of House M.D.

scott467

“Thomas Aquinas was against it. Nearly all of the Protestant church leaders (Luther, Wesley & Clarke, Erasmus, Calvin, Beza, Spurgeon, et al) rejected musical instruments for the same reasons as Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Eusebius, Augustine, and Chrysostom — because it was not ‘a capella’ and not according to Scripture.”
________________
I meant to add, that most (if not all) of the churches founded by or associated with the Protestant Reformers and early Protestant Churches (Luther, Wesley & Clarke, Erasmus, Calvin, Beza, Spurgeon, et al) have musical instrumentation in worship today, even though it was one of the things Protestant Reformers and founders of the Protestant denominations expressly rejected.
It is only over time that this error, like others, was allowed back in.
Musical instrumentation in worship was used in Jewish (Old Testament) worship, but not in the New Testament church.
Thomas Aquinas, considered an authority in the RCC by many, rejected it as well.
…………………………
THOMAS AQUINAS, 1225-1274AD:
“Our church does not use musical instruments, as harps and psalteries, to praise God withal, that she may not seem to Judaize.” (Aquinas, Bingham’s Antiquities Vol 3, p. 137)
………………………..
I have quotes like this from all of these men.
Every last one.
And all of the Scripture verses now, I just had to find them again.

SingularZoe

Scott, so interesting. knew some of it, but did not know that about Spurgeon, which is of particular interest to me. People will bring up instruments referenced in the Psalms. I currently attend a non-instrumental church.

Very cool Maps, Wolfie!
I love old maps.
Some of them were amazingly accurate, considering the level of technology at the time.
The Piri Reis Map of 1513 is one of those that was amazingly advanced, for it’s time.comment image

Wolfie, IIRC one of the moderators over at WUWT posted a map showing Antarctica BEFORE Columbus’ first voyage. Unfortunately I did not bookmark it.

I love old maps, too, Wheatie. It is fascinating to study the changes in various states. I have a book of Colorado history that is loaded with maps and iverlays. I can spend hours looking at maps, and usually have an atlas nearby regardless of the book I am reading. There is always a country, city, river or mountain range to locate! I use topographical maps in my artwork.

wheatietoo

I love topo maps!
There is soo much good info on them.

Gail Combs

We bought topos of the entire state of NC before we went hunting for a new home. I still use maps instead of a GPS system. I want to be able to know where I am not just follow directions.

wheatietoo

Me too, Gail.
GPS is nice…but it is not infallible and it requires a gizmo which needs electrical power.
A paper map is something you can use even when the power has been out for weeks.

Gail Combs

The GPS not infallible is the I gotcha. Try having to back up a truck and trailer or turn it around in unfamiliar busy streets! NO THANK YOU. I will stick with my maps.
BTW be aware that maps WILL put in roads that are not there as copyright protection. I saw it on two maps. One where I was familiar with the area and the second, where I ran up and down the four lane looking for an exit that did not exist in the middle of the night. GRRrrrr

Gail Combs

Though I have my CDL and have driven a big rig, I drive a pickup hauling a horse trailer. The CDL training was well worth the money and made me a MUCH better driver.
And yes, I have a special affection for truckers. On long trips, I like to tuck in behind a Big Rig (not too close) On four lanes I will always try to help them with lane changes.

plateaufortrump

Never trust GPS…………….

The Salmon River Road for white knuckle drivers only. Hell they paved over air.
I had a conference in Seattle and asked my daughter to fly out and join me for a road trip down the Oregon coast and the redwoods of Northern California then back up the spine of the Cascades to view as many volcanic peaks as possible. So I trusted GPS to get me between point A (Eureka, CA) to point B (Mount Shasta) and as we drove along the Salmon River the road narrows down to a one lane road and you can’t turn around. My daughter was driving and she stopped and opened her door once and looked straight down to the wild river below. 60 miles and 4.5 hours later you experience a drive that you will never ever forget. Mt. Shasta at sunset was worth the drive.
Enjoy!

Sue Mcdonald

I have been on that nightmare road once! never again, never again. I swear that road is why I have PTSD. the other nightmare road was out of Bakersfield, going up to lake Isabella, theres a warning sign with flashing lights before entering that says DANGER! no turn outs. you could see scrape marks on the rock slabs to the right where big rigs were trying to keep from going into the river below. We were going about 5 miles ph and saw a couple of cars and one pickup that had went over and down into the river on the way up. I dreaded the trip out of the there. cant believe people really lived up in there.

singingsoul

For me GPS is a God send I am directional challenged .
I remember after staying in a Monastery in Georgia the monks prayed me home because they were concerned I never make it..:):)
Funny thing I always got where I was supposed to go but never remember street names . I use to drive intuitively. With GPS I pray less to get there where I am supposed to go.
Maps I had to force myself to read them but still wrote on paper direction.
I envy people who look at a map memories it and drive.

Gail Combs

For my friend who comes with me much of the time, I use written directions. I also make sure to give the name of the street BEFORE the street we are supposed to turn onto. That way we do not have to creep along hoping not to overshoot the turn.

Pat Frederick

the first time we voted, we found the address easily enough on line, but used our GPS to “find” the location a week before election day. we were sitting on the major highway thru town when we began–the GPS took us 5 miles OUT of town and then had us turn around and return to town. we turned down the street just past where we had been sitting programming the address into the GPS. It simply could have said turn around–the street is right behind you!
give me a map any day!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I try to use “gps” apps in a way not intended–I want to see a map, oh, several miles wide if not dozens of miles, and the damned things want to zoom in to show me three blocks.

I spent what for me was a LOT of money in 1988 or so buying the Times Atlas of the World…and it got obsoleted within three years!! Fortunately I found a (just barely obsolete) later edition a few years later on clearance! (I’m still not sure what happened to make that one obsolete).

Did anyone know this? According to Wikipedia:
“The Criminal Justice Act 1990 abolished the death penalty, setting the punishment for treason at life imprisonment, with parole in not less than forty years. No person has been charged under the Treason Act.”

I think that was in Ireland, Linda.

Let’s hope so. I’ve always heard that death is the punishment for treason.

If the law had been changed here in the US, you can bet Wiki would have that right at the top.
“Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the US, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Conviction requires two witnesses or a confession in open court.[2]
Penalty: U.S. Code Title 18: Death,[8] or not less than 5 years’ imprisonment and not more than life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States will permanently lose the right to ever hold or run for public office anywhere in any capacity within the United States.”

I figure if Fleporeblog were here today, he would’ve probably done a thread about Wilbur’s auto sector report.

Maybe he will do one when he’s back.
The Wall Street wags were clucking their tongues about it today.
They are globalists and don’t like tariffs…and I figure the market will open a bit down as a result of it.
Screw em.
I say bring on the tariffs.
We didn’t start this trade war…China and other countries did, and they’ve been hitting us for decades.

Gail Combs

Up until 1913 the USA federal government was funded by tariffs not income tax. Of course imported goods were mainly for the rich so it was a tax on the RICH. NO WONDER they wanted an income tax on the WAGES of the Middle class!

Tonawanda

Although Prohibition came later, the income tax was passed by the prohibition forces (very, very powerful) to remedy the chief objection to prohibition: the loss of revenue.
The federal government got 40 % of its revenue from tax on alcohol (IIRC).
Prohibition was a direct cause of the income tax. The guy behind Prohibition (forget his name, begins with W), was by far the most powerful political force in America at the time, affecting both parties profoundly. If you crossed him, you lost your election.
He understood that the income tax was a necessary condition to pass prohibition, and he got it done.
Thus, the “higher” cause of coerced sobriety trumped the destruction of our Constitutional arrangement, and vastly increased the power of government in many destructive ways.
Prohibition was maybe the second worst thing to happen to this country (after slavery), as it unleashed Hell we still live with in many ways. The difference is, prohibition could have been avoided entirely.

redlegleader68

Hey T : can we add this to your brew?
Passed by Congress May 13, 1912, and ratified April 8, 1913, the 17th amendment modified Article I, section 3, of the Constitution by allowing voters to cast direct votes for U.S. Senators. Prior to its passage, Senators were chosen by state legislatures.

Tonawanda

We may as well add the 19th Amendment which was a political consequence of the prohibition movement.
Prohibition was largely a woman’s political movement of many decades. It was the original Big Idea that the (very real, very destructive, very tragic) problems found in one’s home should be settled by Almighty Government.
The highly organized and politically astute female forces of prohibition naturally transferred to suffrage.
Each “prohibition” amendment should be assessed on their own basis, but they transformed this country.

SingularZoe

So right, Gail.

NebraskaFilly

Yeah, well, if my State rep here in NE isn’t careful, the HUGE new taxes he is proposing on alcohol and cigs alone just might cause that rebellion. We have terribly high personal property taxes so their plan is to raise OTHER taxes as a panacea for lower PPT. Oh, but SOME local breweries will get an exemption. Add on the stupidity of the voted-in Medicaid expansion, with no way to pay for it, and I see trouble on the way. If they would only stop spending over $300M every year on illegals…….I think they could lower our PPT!!!! BTW, NE also gives DLs to illegals. SMH

Gail Combs

NebraskaFilly,
You were chewing over the pros and cons of a Convention of the States or Article V Convention.
May I suggest that the correct course of action is to use an AMENDMENT? This allows changes to the Constitution but in a very controlled manner.
I see ZERO reason for an Article V Convention unless the intention is a complete rewrite of the present Constitution and that scares the heck out of me!
Remember it would be POLITICIANS doing the rewrite and not We The People.
For the life of me I see no reason to even start a conversation about an Article V Convention when we can use an Amendment instead.

Gail Combs

Actually that brings up another thought.
The enemies of America ALWAYS try to shape the conversation to THEIR advantage.
1. Note the talk about an Article V Convention. It comes up at CTH fairly often yet no one ever mentions the amendment process as an alternative. — The Enemy has sucessfully boxed people’s thoughts into THEIR narrative.
2. GUNS: The talk is always about self defense or hunting. No one ever mentions the real reason for the 2nd Amendment is so We the People have a defense against would be tyrants. — The Enemy has sucessfully boxed in people’s thoughts.
3. ‘Raising Taxes on the RIch’ The talk is always about the correct percentage to tax WAGES. No one ever mentions THE RICH DO NOT EARN WAGES!
Warren Buffet pays a 20% capital gains tax, while his secretary pays a 35% income tax on wages. By using loop holes, where tax-free foundations ‘own’ the corporation stock, the foundations can then ‘own’ the airplanes, villas, condos, and limos that the wealthy use, thereby reducing the capital gains tax to as low as 15%.
Therefore the argument is actually over taxes on the MIDDLECLASS, Karl Marx’s much hated bourgeoisie.
“The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his ‘natural superiors”
Funny how no one ever mentions that Karl Marx was IN FAVOR of the Aristocracy, it was the middle class he hated.
…………
I noted this conversation shaping in the ‘Climate Wars’ and the ‘Farm Wars’. They did not have truth and logic on their side so they continually set up strawman and argued in an area they could win. It seems to be one of their most sucessful tactics, outside of flat out lying.

scott467

“2. GUNS: The talk is always about self defense or hunting. No one ever mentions the real reason for the 2nd Amendment is so We the People have a defense against would be tyrants. — The Enemy has sucessfully boxed in people’s thoughts.”

And critically important, our Rights are GOD-GIVEN and unalienable… the Bill of Rights only RECOGNIZES and guarantees them. They were not GIVEN by government, and they cannot lawfully be taken away by government.
The primary reason for the 2nd Amendment is, if it should become necessary, to overthrow a tyrannical government.
This is according to MULTIPLE Founding Fathers, whose quotes on the subject I post regularly!
Self defense is clearly a necessary.
Hunting is 7th or 8th down the list in importance, somewhere after shooting bottles in your back yard for fun.
AMERICANS shoot GUNS.
it’s what we do.

Gail Combs

Actually at the time of the founding of our country, and now, in the case of farmers, hunting is still important. We really do need to cull the herds of deer and packs of coyotes.
It is really hard to get it thru the thick skulls of city folk that deer EAT CROPS. I lost my entire garden, tomatoes and all to deer last year.They even ate ALL my cherry tomatoes! And we are talk a LARGE 100 foot X 50 foot garden.
A coyote pack took out a neighbor’s ENTIRE HERD of sheep. He took out the pack of coyotes — 52 animals!
However you are correct.
Protection against tyrants is #1
Self defense is #2

michaelh

At the end of the day, the question is are We the People free, or not? A free people can arm themselves as they see fit and proper, without busy-bodies telling them what they “need” or “can’t have”. Mind your business.
It’s no different than having wealth. A free people can gain wealth and can choose to charitably give it as they see fit. It isn’t anyone else’s business what a wealthy person does with their money, and their moral standing is not determined merely by having wealth. Even still there are busy-bodies who see all that wealth and think it should be re-distributed.
A free people have a right to possessions and property, and the means to defend the same. Thou shalt not steal.

Gail Combs

THEFT is the entire basis for Socialism/Communism. CONTROL/POWER is the goal.

Aubergine

Out here in Montana, for many people hunting is to EAT.
I live in a very beautiful place, with a high cost of living, low wages, and little industry. We say “you can’t eat the scenery!”
For a lot of people here, most of their protein comes from that deer or elk in the freezer every year.
Protection from tyrants, #1 indeed. But it’s hard to fight if you are starving. And there’s not a lot of crime out here, where there are more guns by far than people. So for us, hunting is WAY up the list, probably higher than self-defense.

Gail Combs

Hunting for food is very common in my area too. We lease to a Hunt Club.
That was the Best decision we ever made! They were really worried that New England Horse Owners (us) would have a hissy fit over the idea of hunting near their horses. Instead we welcomed them with open arms. A hunt Club means our land is patroled and unwanted trash hunters (from the city) are kicked out. It also gave us instant access to the ‘Ole Boys’ network. Want a carpenter or mechanic or plumber or… Just ask the hunt club. 😁 And they will fix you right up with someone decent.
I do not hunt but we do end up with venison in the freezer on occasion. YUM!

TheseTruths

I have seen too much betrayal by so-called conservatives to ever entrust any changes to the Constitution to any of them. It would be extremely dangerous and a colossal mistake, in my opinion. America’s founders provided the amendment process for our future use.
Again, my opinion: there is no one with the founders’ combination of intellect, foresight, selflessness, and patriotism today whom we could trust to alter the Constitution and expect positive results.

NebraskaFilly

According to Levin and others, the purpose of the Convention is to propose such amendments, which would have to be passed by 2/3 of the States. Normally, it is members of Congress who instigate this process – this is the venue for a 2/3 majority of the States to do it. However, as Publius Huldah has said – all the Constitution says is “…shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments…” It doesn’t specify who CONTROLS that Convention. What happens after that is what I need to study yet. I haven’t gotten to the Professor’s explanation but when I do, I will post what I find out.

NebraskaFilly

And, of course, a simple reading of the Constitution would be required before embarking on such a journey. My pocket copy is quite worn by now! LOL – I ALWAYS begin with a thorough examination of the original from the Founders’ perspective.

rayzorbak

Article 5 of the Constitution:
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
TWO ways to propose “Amendments”
1) CONgress: 2/3 of BOTH houses required to propose “Amendments”.
2) STATES: 2/3 of all STATE Legislatures required to propose “Amendments”.
3/4 of STATE Legislatures must ratify “Proposed Amendment(s)” to become Law.
(No matter which of the 2 ways the “Amendment(s)” are Proposed)
It would be pretty tough to re-do the WHOLE Constitution….
But who knows anything anymore?

If you want to learn to write, take a book you like and a writer whose style you admire and WRITE THE WHOLE BOOK OUT LONG HAND!
For newspaper writting Dick Pothier, at the beginning of the class, would hand out a fact sheet (5 Ws) in no particular order. The students had 10 minutes to turn those facts into a written news story. By the end of the semester, students could not only write a good news story, they could write it FAST.
My tech writting teacher taught us to put the problem and solution in the first SHORT paragraph with the supporting evidence in the bulk of the report. Senior Execs do not have the time to read long reports.

“I think one of the main reason that big tech companies bring in so many H1B visa people, is because they can use their visa status as a way to control them.”
Good point. Keep in mind too that other cultures have different norms of what the consider ethical, compared with the United States and the Christian influence we are still blessed with. People can be brought in who are less adverse to the kinds ends-directed programming that they are being asked to develop. Heck, in many cases those individuals are more willing to embrace and even contribute improvements and innovations into the system. If you’ve been through the diversity training, you’ll know quickly that “bringing fresh outside perspectives” is a key stated goal of the diversity program, and recruiters’ performance are measured via KPIs that specifically reward this. It sounds all rosy on the surface, but when you look close you see that ‘diversity’ is only skin-deep with these people. They want a diversity of external and highly visible (virtue signalling) attributes, but in terms of ethics and ideology the drive is for monoculture. In their perception, “normal” is the WASP male Christian American (the enemy of all leftists), and diversity means putting that down and Christian ethical norms at every opportunity. H1B is one means to achieving the moral and ideological transformations they want – elimination of Judeo-Christian ethics – under the double-speak banner of “diversity”. Their “inclusion” of “outside perspectives” is really about marginalization and exclusion of those they consider the wrong people. Blatant prejudice and bigotry at work in a systematic institutionalized machine whose primary purpose is to grind out individuality, moral norms of right/wrong, drive ideological conformity, and make the worker bees easier to control. So much for being for the workers!

A comment on the “Wrap-up Smear” so famously “projected” by Nancy.
The wrap-up smear appears to be precisely the strategy used to “corroborate” the pee pee dossier.
First, create the smear – does it get any more “smearful” than the pee pee d(r)oss?
Then get the press to report it for validation.
Then merchandise it … to the FISA court, in this instance.
This may have been pointed about before, in which case sorry for so slow to catch up 🙂
h/t Wheatie

wheatietoo

Yep. You’ve got it, Jason.
But in the case of the ‘dirty dossier’…they used it to get FISA warrants first, then they later leaked it out to the media write about it.
And thus ‘validate’ it.
For those who haven’t seen the video:
[youtube

Gail Combs

I thought Steele giving hints to Yahoo and Yahoo printing them was used to corroborate the Dossier so they could trick the FISA court into thinking there was some there there.

wheatietoo

But they were getting FISA court warrants back in 2016…which was before the dossier was written about. Right?

JasonD

Certainly the full “dossier” was only reported on after Comey “briefed” DJT about it – this briefing was used as validation of the dossier.
But I seem to recall that Fusion GPS was tasked with shopping elements to the press, and Steele had also been talking to press … Not sure of the timing though

JasonD

Yeah, that was my recollection too – they used reports in the press as validation for the FISA court. I may be mis-remembering as it is a while ago now.

Gail Combs

wheatietoo,
From SD
“…Additionally, Christopher Steele has stated in U.K. court records the person in charge of the Clinton Campaign’s opposition research firm, Glenn Simpson from Fusion GPS, arranged and coordinated for Mr. Steele to talk to several journalists (CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo News and Mother Jones) while Mr. Steele was also the primary source of information for the FBI investigators (including Strzok and Page)….
As more evidence surfaces the relationship between journalists, Fusion-GPS, Chris Steele and the media’s DOJ/FBI sources begins blending together. The FBI was using media reports, which were based on Fusion-GPS pitches, to bolster its investigative documents to the FISA court….
Christopher Steele has sworn under oath that he met with multiple journalists (at least eight organizations) in September, mid-October, and late-October 2016: “at Fusion’s instruction“.

The Dems are the only ones who do.
So while Pelosi may have been trying to claim that it is a tactic that is ‘used by both sides’…it is not.
Not really.
The R’s just do not have the media resources to pull it off.
Not like the Dems do.
It was the Dems who invented this tactic, decades ago.
And they continue to use it to this day.

True – good points. And when the R’s do create what some would call “negative ads,” there is always at least an element of truth involved – not so with these lunatics!

speaking as a woman here…. men dont get butthurt over every little slight nor are men catty like women can be. most women today ,not all !stressing this, but a lot of younger women seem to believe they are entitled to that which they have not earned nor worked for, the men I know have understood since they were young life is hard ,you will work your butt off till you retire. men tend to let things go and not carry a load of grudges, thats how men mostly operate. my sons friends who have married have as the biggest complaint about being married is that they are expected to go to work and come home and do the cooking ,laundry and house cleaning. I was just shaking my head at that one. this is the end result of the women’s lib movement. all of this is JMO.

Gail Combs

Actually if you are a women you are MORE likely to get hired in technical fields because there are just not that many of us. Our brains are not generally wired in that direction. The studies I looked at eons ago found men were more ?spatial? That is they are wired to know WHERE they are. Women are wired to put up with repetitive tasks.
So men do better in math (spatial) and engineering (visual)
At one company I worked for there were about thirty inspectors. ALL women. The manager would hire men but they never stayed more than a few months. The reason they left? They became bored.
BTW one of my caving buddies ALWAYS knew which direction north was even after hours in a twisting cave. Another caving buddy who was blind, led me off a mountain in the dark of night in the pouring rain. I was supposed to be leading him but that lasted about 3 minutes.😁 We spent 40 minutes getting off that darn mountain and he led me right up to my truck’s door! The guy was also a professor of mathematics and had his eyes removed at age two due to cancer. He was truly an incredible person.

Gail Combs

AMEN!
I wish those who knew him well would write a book about him. I amgoing to send in that suggestion to the National Speleological Society. They would be able to get people to contribute stories.
Something similar was done for Hubby’s math teacher. He had polio and was the track coach. He retired at 84 and was very much loved. I got to meet him at Hubby’s 50 year reunion. 😁
BOY, they just don’t make them like that any more!

‘This is a surprise that came from left field and could have a major impact on the ongoing Trump Russia investigation. If you recall, Treasury officials under Obama have also been under investigation for sending information to their Russian counterparts.

Rex wrecks left – ‘Shadow Warriors, How Trump’s Praetorian Is Saving the Republic’
Quote:
“His name was Keith Schiller.
In Schiller’s two powerful White House positions, he would have had a broad security clearance, as well as unique access to Trump’s schedule, communications and strategic thinking. He would have also been able to observe the Swamp in detail, identifying the enemies of the Republic at work.
The cover story was that Schiller was heading into retirement. FakeNews was ecstatic at the departure of one of Trump’s key allies. They spun it as yet another sign of Trump’s collapsing administration. It was reported that Trump was heartbroken.
Keith Schiller faded away into the shadows. After a few weeks, Trump’s arrogant and distracted enemies had moved on and appear to have forgotten him.
[…]
Many forget that Schiller has been Trump’s feared Director of Security, since 2004. A law enforcement veteran himself, Schiller had assembled a private army of ultra loyal PIs, ex-cops, FBI agents, spooks, military veterans and detectives, well before Trump began his GOP primary run, in 2015.
Such a praetorian guard must have been extremely important for a billionaire such as Trump. The US and global construction sector is one of the most dangerous, toughest business environments in the world. In that sector, the ability to deter or defeat enemies – many who wouldn’t think twice about attacking you or your family – isn’t just a question of good strategy. It’s a question of survival.”

NYGuy54

Guys I wanted to give you an update. After some steady improvement, I have taken another turn downward. It appears that I am losing the vision in my left eye. My hearing has also declined. Now my right ear is also diminishing. I already cannot hear out of my left ear. The constant headaches have disappeared and have been replaced with these occasional massive ones. All from my traumatic brain injury suffered last year.
For the first time, I am frightened as to what happens next. My doctors cannot seem to stop what is happening. The magnitude of this is much greater than I prefer. I have ordered hearing aids and hopefully I will be able to hear better. I am trying to stay positive but I have to admit it’s hard. Each day is more of a struggle.
My days of commenting on things are going to come to an end soon as I am having trouble reading now. I wish I had better news. I have no idea why God chose this path for me but it sucks. I feel very alone.
Hopefully I typed comments that make sense as I have no ability to edit now. My apologies if I left words out or misspelled.
God bless you all and thanks for the company.

Pat Frederick

You will be in my prayers Ed!

Please keep in contact with Tonawanda who can update us here for you. Hopefully the hearing aids will help. If those doctors cannot help maybe they can refer you to a new group. There are very many people here who will pray for you and those who wish you better health fast! Your family and friends are the most important focus for you. Just know, as far as we go, Patriots are in control and justice is on its way. You take care of yourself.

Prayers for you and glad to see you and your comments here whenever you feel up to writing, but if not, just enjoy us when you can, and we will be thinking of you. Being blind, I do not read all comments (I use speech on my computer) do wonder if that might help you sometime. I looked at IPods yesterday, and you can speak and listen using voiceover. Anyway, just know we care. Never worry about spelling or thins like that. I make a mess when I type.

_________________________________________________
I do not think anyone believes you are complaining, you are among friends.
I do understand your pain it is distressing not only to loose eyesight but also hearing.
I myself battling Macular degeneration for past 20 years it’s inherited. I get injections every 6 weeks in my eye.
My one eye vision is just about gone. The feeling of helplessness and loneliness is normal and nothing to feel embarrass about.
Faith is a great friend and support at least for me. My energy is now not focus on the macular but on the blessings that I still enjoy. Positive energy overcomes anythings and evokes a gratefulness for me.
Know that you are loved and there. There is more to you than eyes you might not think so now going through mourning. The loss is real but know there is hope.
Getting hearing aid is a good first step. There are other tools for eye loss. Your eye doctor can advise to you organizations that will help you.
Please come and post when you can because you are among friends.
Many prayers to you.

holley100

NYGuy – please consider an upper cervical chiropractor. The man who saved my son’s life after a head injury is located where you live. When you suffer a blow to the head, the upper cervical area is also affected. When out of alignment, the upper cervical bones can press on the nerves traveling into the brain stem and cause many disabling neurological symptoms.
Hearing loss and the upper cervical spine are connected. In addition to pain, my son had many neurological deficits that included hearing and vision issues. He had every test available, completed post concussion therapy programs, saw vestibular therapists, did vision therapy, wore prism lenses, tried medication, etc. Nothing helped. He had given up all hope until he found this dr.
He did a 360 scan on my son’s neck while he was seated instead of the traditional x-rays, MRI’s and cat scans. Those tests did not show what happens to his neck when it has upright pressure on it. The upper bones were twisted pressing on the bundle of nerves traveling to and from the brain stem.
If you are getting worse and not better after a head injury something is very wrong. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m glad you’re looking into holley100’s suggestion!
Something’s wrong, doctors can’t figure it out – GET NEW DOCTORS!
I have a friend with a very weird type of lung cancer, special medications (via a medical study, btw – look into medical studies, too!) – and he kept losing weight. Nothing would stay down, and the doctors couldn’t figure it out.
I asked him HOW he was eating, and it turns out he was eating while in bed, semi-reclining. I told him to get out of bed and SIT UP STRAIGHT while eating. My grandmother’s advice! And IT WORKED.
Too many doctors are in their own echo-chambers of knowledge. They often look only to a closed set of answers, when presented with riddles.
Long ago, I had migraines, with partial vision loss. Somehow, I think you’ve got PRESSURE causing this, and if the CAUSE is diagnosed properly, and treated, I suspect the symptoms you’re having will abate / disappear.
You are, and have been, in our thoughts here, Ed! That won’t change! Take your time, stay in touch with / via Tonawanda.
God bless you!

NYGuy54

Thanks Em. I’m trying. Tonawanda knows I stay very positive and show concern for everyone else’s lives. It’s very strange to focus on my own.
I called that doctor and they happen to be very close to where I live. They are not covered under insurance so I have to sort this out.
Thank you for your care, concern and advice.

itswoot

Ed,
You might want to check out setting up a crowd funding account to help pay for any extra medical expenses you can’t afford. I was just reading that at Go Fund Me, for instance, about a third of the funding appeals are medically related.
Also, maybe tonawanda(sp?), or other family members, can help by sponsoring you in setting up an account.

holley100

When they couldn’t help my son the medical people blamed him and said he wasn’t getting better because he had psychological problems. This patient blaming nearly destroyed my son. He was ready to end his life.

Emeraldstar

“patient blaming”
Arrogant people almost NEVER blame themselves, no matter what the circumstances. And doctors are known – generally – for their arrogance. Does this remind anyone of what we as a country are dealing with now? Psychological projection – i.e., it was THEY, the ineffective doctors, who had “psychological problems”. Pfft.
My friend (a former Marine) went from a hearty 162# to an emaciated 113#. He almost died, for lack of aliment. NONE of the doctors possessed the down-home, common-sense, “country-doctor” wisdom necessary to look at the WHOLE problem.
I’m glad your son – with your help, of course – got through it.
I hope, for Ed’s sake, that you (and a little bit me and others!) prove right! Maybe he should TELL his current docs to arrange for the 360-degree, SITTING UP scan.
Good goin’, Holley!

How is he now?

holley100

GL/FL ~ He is doing pretty darn good considering. He is in regular treatment to keep his upper cervical spine in alignment and also does physical therapy to help strengthen the muscles and tendons that hold the bones in place. His life is still in some disarray, but at least he knows he has help now when he needs it.
He still struggles with what the medical profession put him through and blaming him for what they didn’t understand. He is graduating soon from graduate school. One professional told him he should look for a vocational job. Another said he should be on SSDI.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and he will have a good life. The lessons we all learned from this are invaluable. In addition to never giving up and to keep fighting, my son learned compassion and empathy at a young age. He was 18 when it all started. We both have learned to not judge others through our own set of experiences, but to listen and try to understand from their side of things.
Thank you for asking. 🙂

NYGuy – not a doctor or chiropractor – but have generations of really well-trained MDs and nurses in my family – so I have listened and read a lot of stuff – and this does sound like a very real possibility!

Blessings and love, GA/FL

holley100

I am stunned to read your story LP and so very happy to know you made it through. And you are so right about the lying down taking the pain away. My son would spend hours lying on an exercise mat for relief. No pressure on the nerves that way.
It seems pretty simple, but for whatever reason the medical profession doesn’t get it. Their scans are looking for breaks, fractures, masses, clots…but not the nerves. I could go on and on about the whole process we went through, but it forever changed how I feel about medical treatments.

redlegleader68

Never give up!!!

NYGuy54

I’m not giving up. LP. Just adjusting. As you know, every day is a battle. I didn’t anticipate the changes in my vision and a further decline in my hearing. The headaches went away and then came back so something is triggering all this. I am pursuing Holley’s suggestion and am seeing a new neurologist

GA/FL

Good morning, NYGuy,
One thing I learned having seen the medical community up close over 4 decades through family and marriage, is that there is a wide range of skill and caring among practitioners.
Some are good and some you would not want to practice or operate on an enemy!
Get references, read the reviews online, find out where they trained, and when you visit a doctor or hospital for pre-tests, talk to nurses who care for their patients post surgery and find out how their patients progress!
Get advice from your GP or doctor/s who attend your club or synagogue.
“In a multitude of counselors, there is wisdom, safety, victory.” – from several verses Proverbs
Prayer does make a difference. Ask your Rabbi and others who worship and revere our Creator to pray, pray, pray!
We love you!

they will not be able to recover mentally from this one. they will try and will still attempt to call it out but this has to be a kick is the balls.
i was just reading some stories from back when it happened, and my god. to write what people had written only to be proven wrong a week later and to STILL stand behind him. shows what kind of character they have as if we needed confirmation.

Great thread: Good point about getting $ and fame.

Emeraldstar

“we should get rid of hate-crime laws immediately”
That’s my vote.
Crimes are crimes. No need for qualifications, imputing a “why” to the “what”.

SingularZoe

Emeraldstar, totally agree about getting rid of so-called “hate” crimes. Crime is crime. Who ever heard of a “love” crime?

TheseTruths

I expect Smollett to be charged but to serve little to no time. Some on the Left seem angry with him for distorting their “orange man bad” and “white man bad” narrative, but I expect them to show empathy that things were so bad that he felt compelled to do this. They will continue to blame Pres. Trump and his supporters, who did absolutely nothing wrong.
Rather than being discriminated against for being gay and/or black, Smollett has achieved fame and makes a lot of money by appearing on TV and in the music industry. The only things stopping him are himself and the hateful culture of the Left.

“There was an actual hate crime that occurred on the same night as the Jussie Smollett hoax that our hoax-addicted media still refuses to cover. Unfortunately, the media choosing hoaxes over inconvenient hate crimes is something we have seen before.
The American media is not only garbage, it is a broken institution, forever broken; and yes, the media are the enemy of the people.”
(Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!) “But here we are, four years later, and the media have not only refused to learn from the tragic mistake that they are running amok, spreading hoax after hoax after hoax, and deliberately using these hoaxes to spread hate and division.
In less than four months, the media have gleefully, recklessly, and relentlessly advanced the following lies: Brett Kavanaugh Serial-Rapist, Those Racist Covington Catholic Boys, Trump the Russian Spy Ordered His Lawyer to Lie, and Jussie Smollett.”
“Well, let’s look at two legitimate hate crimes the media refuse to cover, even though both are caught on video. One from two years ago you may have heard of. The other you probably knew nothing about.
A mere two years ago, there was a racially-motivated hate crime in Chicago, the same city where Smollett staged his own fantasy. While screaming “fuck white people” and “fuck Trump,” four black people kidnapped and tortured a developmentally disabled white man.
For two whole days, this man was terrorized, bound with tape, and after a beating opened a wound, bleach was poured on the cuts. The four monsters were so proud of themselves they not only laughed through it all, they streamed it live on Facebook.
Horrific hate crime.
Video.
Politically charged.
Everything the media claim to be motivated by was right there for the taking, and still the story was buried, not covered at all, or rationalized as “not evil” by a CNN that quickly moved on.”
“Did you know that on the very same night, January 29, Jussie Smollett faked a hate crime against himself there was an actual hate crime caught on video in Brooklyn, New York?
Until the Daily Wire reported it on Monday, I knew nothing about it.
Watch for yourself:
A Jew brutally beaten last night in Brooklyn. Nothing stolen. Antisemitism is alive and well in NYC. Time for a hard look at who is doing it and its cause. This has been going on in NY long before Charlottesville or 2016 just ask anyone visibly Jewish. pic.twitter.com/z86dz32YBL

NebraskaFilly

“A serious, brewing problem in a major American city; legitimate, racially-motivated hate crimes that have gotten zero attention from the national media…
But those are inconvenient hate crimes, inconvenient to the media’s narrative that only Trump supporters are racist and violent; inconvenient to a media that is so broken, so evil, such a true enemy of the people, that rather than report the truth, they would prefer to fabricate and advance hoaxes.”

Pat Frederick

so disgusting!!

andrew1979

i am going to go out on a limb here and probably be crucified for saying this – but just with every “hate” “racist” crap going on right now – we really need to pump the brakes on the whole antisemetic thing.
i am not a jewish hater, but god damn, they even have a special term for a hate crime against them. same with the anti-islamic stuff.
let’s all just put it the way it is – if it’s a hate crime against a human then that’s simple – it’s a hate crime.
no race or group should be singled out. nobody should be hating on anyone.
and at the same time nobody should be pushing for more victim status, nobody should be trying to publicize, etc…and a bunch of times people get attacked and their attackers don’t even have any idea about their race or ethnic background or whatever, then it turns out, oh it was a gay jewish guy – it’s anti-semetism!
in my book first people need to get a little thicker skin in some respects, but also people need to stop growing the racist thing and pushing it harder.
what i mean is there are times where it’s a black or it’s a muslim or it’s a gay or whatever and all of a sudden the anti-semetic thing comes out.
how about we just end it all? why can’t people in freaking 2019 get it through their heads that picking on people is actually lame and is not going to get you anywhere.
i am not saying it does not exist or whatever, i am just saying, the tit for tat, poiinting out this or that, it will never end the problem. it’s a problem with people. ignore them if it’s just words and if it’s a physical attack make them pay the price. if there isn’t anything to be gained from being the victim or the attacker then the motivation for being either will have to diminish.
again, not hating on jewish hate but i see this as becoming another stick that both sides are trying to jab each other with.
we all need to get over stuff – and i’m not talking to people here exclusively this is for the world in general.

NebraskaFilly

Good points about victim status. Overall, it is generally not called an anti-semitic attack unless something specific was said to lead one to believe that. Personally, I have no problem with focusing on anti-Jewish (IMO, semitic is the wrong word) attacks considering the fact that the Jews have been persecuted, in one way or another, pretty much for their entire existence. Jews / Israel are ALWAYS on the targeted attack-first list. I am fairly certain no other ethnicity has experienced such targeted devastation on the scale of the Jews. Every single country in the world, pretty much, has kicked them all out. Unfortunately, Christians around the world are facing that now as well. JMO

Do journalists even have access to whatever entrance the Justices use (which is surely NOT the front door the public uses)?
If they don’t, that would leave the (legitimate!) frustration with no actual photos in place, but at least get the journalists off the hook for not getting the pictures.

holley100

TMZ is running video of her supposedly flying back to Reagan airport saying she’s on the move. Rantingly’s link to the footage says it’s her first public appearance since her cancer surgery.
Clicking around the web and it looks like footage of her from last year when she traveled to Sundance to talk about her movie. The reporter in the airport footage asks her about the movie. So still no real proof.

TheseTruths

Her first public appearance since the cancer surgery? I thought she was supposedly at a musical event in her honor a few weeks ago. It was reported that she sat in the back and people didn’t know she was there, but that was definitely in public.

holley100

Good point. Just checked the link again on Rantingly and it does indeed say first public appearance since cancer surgery. If she’s back it’s a big deal to both the right and left. Would think she would want to be photographed.

In 1989, Donald Eigler and Erhard Schweizer of the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, used a scanning tunneling microscope to position 35 individual xenon atoms on a substrate of chilled crystal of nickel to form the acronym “IBM”. They also created chains of xenon atoms similar in form to molecules.
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_(atoms) ]
In 2013, IBM made “the world’s smallest movie” (talk about a “short”), called “A Boy and His Atom”.
Again they used a scanning tunneling microscope to move atoms around. In both cases, they were doing basic research in order to increase storage density, or transistor density in an effort to improve computers and electronic devices in general. Would that we had more of this basic science going on at more companies, like it used to be. HP has all but shuttered their labs, and Xerox PARC is but a shadow of its former self.
We need labs to come back, as well as manufacturing. Untold amounts of technology went to China and elsewhere thanks to the Klintoons. It needs to come back, and the “leakage” stopped.
Here are some links and a YouTube about “A Boy and His Atom” (don’t know if he named it “Spot”…).

Yeah, no – I still can’t stand rap of any kind. IMO, that is NOT music.

NebraskaFilly

OK – it’s music but not singing, is what I meant to say.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

To my mind, music requires a melody.
A beat track by itself doesn’t qualify.
The academics who study such things (musicologists) differ with me on this, I feel obligated to point out.

Cuppa Covfefe

Sprechstimme, for one (Schoenberg and his contemporaries). Of course a lot of people don’t consider his work (or 12-tone works in general) music, per se.
Trivia: Rocky and Bullwinkle secondary theme (when Rocky is flying around) is 12-tone. Also, Frank Zappa wrote a 12-tone fugue (not sure which song). So it can slip by…
Of course, with the often “criminal associations” with rap, it’s generally notated as rap sheet music…

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I am a non-fan of Schoenberg for different reasons–at least, of the one work of his I’ve had inflicted on me.

SingularZoe

Cuppa, that’s hilarious plus you’re so interesting–I always learn something new from you.

SingularZoe

I’m with you, Steve. And have to add, I get so bored with repetition–same words, same choruses, whatever, over and over again. It’s boring, whether in church or on radio.

drillerelite

Whaaaaa? 1st no Monty Python now no rap??? jk, it’s not my favorite either 😉

NebraskaFilly

Yep – I am old school, for the most part – love, love, love classic rock the most, although a hardcore country fan for many years as well – George Straight – now THAT man can put his boots under my bed ANY time! And, of course, the fantastic Garth. A bit of the disco but not much.

drillerelite

I hear ya, classic rock and outlaw country will never die in my book. My parents had a couple Johnny Cash albums that I probably wore out before I turned 4. I remember telling my parents that when I got old enough to get married I was going change my name to John, because of Johnny Cash 😆. I actually wept when Merle Haggard died 😥, surprised me.

On Jeff Sessions, as far as I am concerned the jury is still out… there are 85,000+ sealed indictments so he was obviously up to something!

Greg Cox

I too, am a Sessions holdout. For him to be involved in this treason, is something I just can’t conceive of. Like Q says, sometimes disinformation is necessary.

Gail Combs

“… It may have been he was too hamstrung by the legal minefields….”
That is about where I am at.
Jeff Session more than anyone else except President Trump, Walked into a WAR ZONE. I do not envy him having to navigate it. Daniel Greenfield was correct. We are in the middle of a Civil War or at least in the beginning leading up to a Civil War.
“…When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war….”
And that is exactly what Jeff Sessions got caught in the center of.

SingularZoe

Someone who wrote a book checked all the senators for corruption, and I think Sessions was the only one that came out totally clean. And what he’s done to stop child trafficking–rescuing woemen and children victims –our country owes him a huge debt of thanks. I admire him very much. Regarding the frustrating recusal, I think time will explain it.

So, I’ve been watching video after video about this Smollett freak show…just astonishing to witness the professional victim/grievance industry in total melt-down. Even more amazing to go back and watch how many of these freaks were defending him tooth and nail and demonizing Trump supporters…too many to mention although I’ll give dishonorable mentions to Ellen Page on Colbert and Sara Gilbert on something called The Talk…good grief, it must be exhausting being so stupid!
Some video editing genius needs to put them all together (both MSM and Hollyweird reactions to this hoax) in a montage, as lengthy as it may be, to highlight for eternity just how stupid and evil these people are. These demons need to be humiliated and buried in the rubbish heap of history…forever. They’re just as responsible for trying to destroy this country as the likes of Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Schiff…etc.

Hmm, this may be true…or there may be bigger motives at play…the anti-lynching bill and who knows what else…
I just hope he sees prison time and spills the beans on/if anyone was else was involved…(Harris/Booker?)

I posted this on Flep’s post so hope it’s okay to repost here:
“Democrat Party Embraced Socialism At A Perfect Time….” Truly when enough people are noticing things that don’t make sense like A Supreme Court Justice who hasn’t been seen in over 2 months. The questions become louder and more frequent so the Washington Post responded 2/4/2019 with a lovely article but no photos:
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Monday night made her first public appearance since undergoing cancer surgery in December, attending a celebration of her life presented in song.
The 85-year-old justice attended a production of “Notorious RBG in Song” at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington. The program about Ginsburg’s life in the law was created and performed by Ginsburg’s daughter-in-law, the soprano Patrice Michaels, and presented for high school students by the National Constitution Center.”
Also note: There was NO publicity found anywhere about the event before it happened even in local papers where the high school students being honored were from.or the National Museum of Women Calendar. Michaels also did not announce the justice’s presence.
So questions became louder and even more frequent and almost everyone asking just want proof of life because the silence is not normal… so NPR does their part with an equally lovely article today:
NPR REPORT:- – No current photo
