true! I was talking to my hubby about that recently. I thought it was just me.

I don’t know why there wouldn’t more blacks in commercials before now. Not my fault. Media’s fault. But us little white peons get the blame.

Bullcrap. Please tell us what law of physics was overcome.

The chinee managed to break the speed of bureaucracy. This from a Confucian/commie culture.

There was a time once when something like the B-52 could be conceived on a cocktail napkin and be airborne in no time at all.

Well, I never believed someone named ‘Hussein’ would be elected president.

1986: Amnesty

In the campaign for the 1986 amnesty law, Kennedy predicted that the law would grant citizenship to no more than 1.3 million people. “We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this,” he said.

The vax and its boosters are celebrated world wide.

At least we can sing and dance on our balconies unlike Ontario. IIRC, one grocery chain there enacted a ban on the unvaxxed but protesters made them drop that.

Women should be drafted. There are many non-combat roles that can be filled by women and allow men to fill those combat roles. Admin, medical, logistics, and many others can be filled by women.

People need to ask "HOW IS THIS HAPPENING'" AND STOP ASKING IN A PLAINTIVE WHINY LITTLE VOICE 'WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US/'

It's happening because democrats work with US intelligence groups and have discovered 'the secret': if YOU can get people to discus an issue they'll set up a false mental image of there being two sides to the issue - AND IN THE NAME OF 'FAIRNESS' THEY'LL GIVE A LITTLE TO EACH SIDE.

That's how the madness starts and it's how the whole culture can be turned in less than ten years. It's the camel's nose under the tent...

Have YOU ever noticed how our causes are NOT dicussed in the press? If we suggest something they don't like they ignore it.

There should be no draft at all. We haven’t needed one since 1975 and it’s arguable we didn’t need one well before that. Disband the Selective Service. It can be replaced by one person with one desk and a computer with valid social security numbers.

Make every citizen [and even non-citizens] susceptible to being drafted if they simply have a social security number.

Get rid of this ridiculous, evil, vestigial Selective Service bureaucracy.

***One of Trump’s biggest failures is not restoring balance to the media. Yank the section 230 protection for ‘platforms’ acting as publishers. And yank FCC licenses for the free tv media companies who were granted such frequencies on the promise they’d be providing unbiased free news to the masses.

I disagree.

Selective Service Registration (not draft) should be used to maintain the records of those who are available and subject to call up based on their predetermined profile.

The selective service can and in my opinion should be used to keep a pool of those who are rapidly able to go to war. There are those who are physically unable to participate in combat - they should be called up after those that are able to participate.

I would further articulate that SS registrars (?? what do you call a potential draftee ??) should be required to report for one day (8 hours) of training during their birth month. This time can be used to maintain records and receive basic training on things like:

- call up and draft procedures
- basic first aid
- Military and civilian branches and jobs during war time
- basic firearm safety
- aptitude testing
- records maintenance
etc.

16. The January 6, 2021 First Amendment right of citizens to assemble peaceably and petition their government was declared a riot when a police officer murdered an unarmed demonstrator and a window was broken by unknown persons.

We have survived for more than 5 decades without your statist level intrusions into ordinary lives.

If we need a real draft we can revive this useless bureaucracy in a matter of hours.

You say it oughtta be a certain way... I say it oughtta be a different way. How do we resolve, using simple reasoning, one way or the other? Because I can tell that I won’t agree with your reasoning and I’ll soon find fallacious arguments from your viewpoint. How do we resolve this?

1. Massive provable 2020 election theft due to fraud of the presidency by a senile crook and no one in the government cares.

* * * *

PING! As I think back to the hundreds of comments I have read on Free Republic, this post is right near the top in terms of knowledge gained.

I looked up “camel nose under the tent” — a new one for me.

Sounds like voter fraud and the evil mind-games to influence voters was in Chicago long before a certain half-black pot smoker from Hawaii decided to become a community organizer.

Great stuff, GOPJ.

16. People held in solitary confinement without trials for trespassing.
