I don’t know how Mike Adams stays with it. What stamina.

[HiTech RedNeck]

He seems to keep expecting the world to be fair. Well at least he’s a witness against it.

[mosaicwolf]

So sad this morning. I am a 1967 grad of the U of M and it was a great University. Guess anyone interested in a real education in Montana needs to go to Montana State at Bozeman. :-(

[metmom]

When God raises someone up and empowers them, they have the stamina.

And Mike Adams pales in comparison to what President Trump has to endure and the battle he is fighting.

Prayers up for both men and others in their situations. They need all the support they can get.

A number of years back, I participated in a business trip with several others that stopped for a few days in Missoula, Montana. It was certainly "Big Sky" country, memorialized in numerous great songs, stories, and tales. One night, after dinner we sat watching the parade of pickup trucks and cars travelling down the streets with gun racks in the back windows, populated with weapons of choice of the locals. I remember commenting that "this is why there will never be a foreign army capable of occupying the USA. There are simply not enough loyal military personnel in any country in the world that could control all the people that live in cities like this across the country."

Unfortunately, Montana may be losing such a place of honor.

[Comment Not Approved]

The average number of firearms in households that own firearms in Montana is 27. Not sure where that stands in the national average but it ain’t bad.

Plenty of patriots here to defend against the liberal infestation in Missoula. The UM is the reason for that infestation. But enrollment at the UM is declining and we here in the Bitterroot Valley, just south of Missoula, are quite capable of stopping it’s spread if it looks to be getting out of control.

Montana will be okay. You are welcome to come back and join our efforts, FRiend.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Montana will be okay. You are welcome to come back and join our efforts, FRiend."

Thanks, I'm sure you are right. We feel quite comfortable here in Texas, as well, in spite of our proximity to Austin. There are similar liberal infestations here, but they're mostly kept in check by the population. "Proper gun control" means that you only need one round.

You probably never herd about an incident here at a theater in Texas that happened just several weeks after the theater massacre in in 2012 that killed 12 in Aurora, Colorado. The only difference here, was that an armed off-duty sheriff's deputy pulled our her weapon and shot the perp before he could take a second shot. That's how it should work everywhere.

Thanks for the ping.

We thought Mike Adams was fighting Cultural Marxism... not an easy task... but now we know he’s fighting both Cultural Marxism and totalitarian thugs in the Russian PsyOps teams.

Why are colleges filled with Communists ‘useful idiots’? Because the quality of professors has gone down as the ‘best and brightest’ moved on to better paying more interesting professions. The people teaching in colleges today would have been selling shoes at the five and dime 50 years ago...

“The people teaching in colleges today would have been selling shoes at the five and dime 50 years ago.”

Makes me wonder what middle school teachers would have been doing. Taking tickets at the swimming pool, maybe.

[dsc]

“but now we know he’s fighting both Cultural Marxism and totalitarian thugs in the Russian PsyOps teams.”

Has anybody seen any of these so-called Russian ads or posts? They keep claiming that they supported Trump, but I have seen zero evidence of that.

[GOPJ]

Schools were better years ago... teachers were higher quality.

The problem is that that situation existed because of real sexism - a level of discrimination not acceptable.

Women who today run companies - - and represent us in legislatures around the country - - back then were restricted to 'teaching or nursing'... Lots of high level talent very cheap - - an early sexist version of the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS.

A modern day solution might include raising teachers pay to $80,000 a year and having schools open year round with students allowed to choose the 3 months they take off for 'summer'... That would weed out people who see teaching as a 'side job' or hobby. It would also open up teaching slots to higher quality citizens. Also teachers should teach within a field... not be 'education majors'. But that's a different subject.

[GOPJ]

I'm not sure but I believe Russians attacked Hillary when she was running against Sanders and attacked Trump when Sanders was out of the race.

There's no evidence of Russians attacking Sanders ever... Of course Sanders honeymooned in Moscow and called himself a ‘socialist’ in the 60’s when it was widely known that the term socialist was interchangeable with the term ‘communist’. Russians attempted to paint Trump and his backers as racists... I'll see if I can find the link to that one... which fits the MSM meme... It would NOT surprise me to discover Russians were behind Charlottesville - that had 'commie community organizer' handprints all over it...

[dsc]

“The problem is that that situation existed because of real sexism - a level of discrimination not acceptable.”

Not only was it acceptable, it was essential, as we see from the mess around us.

We had better get back to that ASAP if we are to survive as a civilization.

[GOPJ]

More random stuff - looks like Russians were out to make Trump supporters look like racists - AND they hated Hillary. Seems they liked old Bernie. No surprise there... Bernie honeymooned in Moscow... he’s a socialist from the 60’s - - when everyone knew it meant ‘communist’...

“Black Matters US” also maintains a Google+ account – which included a post calling Bernie Sanders “the only [candidate] who really cares about people” – and a YouTube account that featured, among other things, a clip calling for viewers to join a #HillaryClintonForPrison2016 flashmob, with the video’s subject torching a piece of paper that says “Hillary Clinton fuck u!!!”

9. And while it hasn’t gotten much attention thus far, Instagram (in red) was just as abused as Facebook and Twitter by these fake Russian accounts:
10. The most popular Twitter account identified as Russian by the RBK investigation was @TEN_GOP, which had previously made its way into The Daily Beast, HuffPo, Fox News, Vocativ, etc.

“Cheap Labor” often carries a high price...too high in this case.

Besides the remedy is easy - pay more. Make teaching ‘full time’, eight hours a day, all year long.

If you pay a highly competitive wage, make it a year long job (NOT a nine month sinecure) - you'll get plenty of high quality people. Oh, and outlaw ‘education’ majors... except for elementary school teachers.

“If you pay a highly competitive wage, make it a year long job (NOT a nine month sinecure) - you’ll get plenty of high quality people.”

If the kids are going to go an extra 36 months in grades 1-12, I want them coming out of high school with the equivalent of 3 years of college. And not “today college,” but real college by world standards.

“Oh, and outlaw ‘education’ majors... except for elementary school teachers.”

When I was young, education departments were the joke of every university in the country. I guess X-studies departments are even worse.

I think elementary school teachers could be “prepared” by participation in seminars and student-teaching, in addition to a real major. I mean, if you’re too dumb to get a BA in sociology, you shouldn’t be allowed within a hundred yards of a school.
