During the Vietnam War era, this march was used at the retirement parade of a general. As the general's staff entered the parade, the band struck up "Entry of the Gladiators." At the end of festivities, the general went to the bandmaster and chewed him out. He thought the march was called, "Here Come the Clowns," and it reflected on his fellow officers. The bandmaster had to show the general the score for the march before he would calm down.
Shortly after that incident, command guidance came down from the Pentagon informing its bandmasters that "Entry of the Gladiators" was never again to be used in a military parade situation.
You evidently don’t understand that the cellphone you are so very fond of using is built upon a radio that is manufactured in China. My business is related to cellular telemetry, and must also use those radios.

It is all about the ground game...getting people to get off their duff and vote. In the past door-to-door has been the best. Talking to and phoning church goers has been second best. Phoning/email lists of R voters is third best.
Social media? Others chime in. There are 1362 FReepers in VA. There are _ _ _ Truth Social in VA. There are _ _ _ _ followers of MAGA voice A and _ _ _ _ for MAGA voice B. How many of them have not yet voted? How many of them are effectively working the ground game?
100k per year in visa fees is a pittance to pay for people who really do have skills that are hard to find. The whiners on this are being dishonest. And there is no denying the fact that this program has been full of tremendous fraud.

St. Thomas à Becket would be rolling over in his grave, if anybody knew where it was. Why would you put stupid shit like that in a cathedral that was the site of the murder of its Archbishop? I don’t give a crap how many years ago it happened. It’s hallowed ground.
