Norma Shearer (121st birthday today on august 11, tomorrow, American time) said "A woman today is good, or she is bad, according to the way she does a thing - and not because of the thing itself." And “The morals of yesterday are no more. They are as dead as the day they were lived. Economic independence has put woman on exactly the same footing as man.” This is easy to disapprove of. And to be drawn to. Freedom works. Morality? Whose?

Facing Suicide. "The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong at the broken places." So wrote Ernest Hemingway in Farewell To Arms (1929) Hemingway lived most of his life as an outstanding outdoorsman whose understated economical literary style was male to the core. Like his physician father before him, Hemingway died by suicide on July 2nd, 1961. "What is the sense of ruining my head" he said of the ECT treatment in his final year that left him a wreck, "and erasing my memory, which is capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure, but...

Demings is challenging Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the upcoming midterm elections. The data show Demings voted 97 out of 97 times to approve Joe Biden’s destructive policies. Under the ‘Agree With Biden?’ column, there are only checkmarks indicating she voted for ALL of Biden’s policies. [...] That makes Val Demings a super-Biden rubber stamp! Vote for her if you like the Democrats’ extremism.

The data show Warnock voted 53 out of 55 times to approve Joe Biden’s failed policies. The images below or on their website, you’ll see there are only 2 pink X’s indicating the only 2 times Warnock voted against Biden. Warnock is just another Biden rubber stamp. Vote for him if you like the Democrats’ extremism.

This coming Tuesday, 08/23/2022 is Primary voting day in the great State Of Florida!!! Now is the time for all Americans of all political stripes in Florida to turn out, come out and cast all their votes in the same fashion as the State of Wyoming did in destroying Traitor/Turncoat, Liz Cheney. Our once great nation is in deep danger, with a weak, ineffective, false, POTUS, Joe Biden, and his useless, Democrat Party cohorts. Russia, Iran, China, North Korea, etc., are laughing at our lack of leadership, direction, purpose and are waiting for the right moment to take the USA...

Demcrats, Joe Biden & Merrick Garland should resign or be removed from office by impeachment carried out, by their Democrat Party. Biden and Garland have insured that POTUS Doanld John Trump will win election to POTUS 2024!!! Bad and dumb move by both Biden & Garland..period!!! Trump stronger then ever!!!

There’s more than one way to neutralize a threat and these novel, thin, finned steel projectiles can put on a hurt at greater distance than buckshot - Flechettes were first used as small bomblets dropped from airplanes in World War I and World War II. Their use in small arms began in February 1951, when Irwin R. Barr of Aircraft Armaments Inc. came out with the concept of firearms flechettes. Initially, the emphasis was on firing one flechette instead of a standard rifle bullet. This led to the Army’s Special Purpose Individual Weapon (SPIW) program, as the concept was tested....

A New Jersey judge has ordered a new election after Democrat officials were charged in a voter fraud scheme involving mail-in ballots.The judge has thrown out the results of the special election held in May, to fill a Paterson City Council seat, just days after President Donald Trump pointed to the N.J. race as an example of the type of fraud possible with universal mail-in voting.

People living inside Seattle’s newly minted autonomous zone have spoken out against the serious problems it is creating for them.Shelby Talcott from The Daily Caller reported on the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ,) and how people in the immediate area, who are not part of the protest, are being affected.

...snip... And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials. Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago. “I think this is...

"I am betting that in comparison to the previous internet conflict, this will be a slow-boil low-intensity fecal-flinging fiasco." "I believe that the Meme War 2.0 will also be a war of accelerationism."

Meia Bias: President George W. Bush has issued a full-throated defense of the media's role in modern society. He's being way too generous. "I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. … Power can be very addictive," Bush said in remarks on NBC's "Today." "We need an independent media to hold people like me to account," he said. Yes, we agree wholeheartedly. But he seemed to imply today's media were fulfilling that role. They aren't. And there's no better example than Bush's own two terms in office. While we deeply admire the former president for not holding a grudge,...

Hope all is well! In the spirit of Christmas, last night I was good to my word. Amidst a successful telethon, I was waterboarded live on-air by special forces Army Ranger, Tim Kennedy. The goal was to increase awareness as to what waterboarding is, and whether we should allow our troops to use it. After watching this, make up your own mind. And guess how long I last...

r full disclosure, I am Canada. My daughter is in grade 6 and goes to a private school but I discovered something printed from a teaching guide that really bothered me. It is from a publication called "What in the world". I sent an email to the teacher but have not as yet spoke with him. It talks about the US election. Some of the things that popped out were "He will become the 45th president of the United States - and the first without government or military experience". In a headline box is "Did You know? Despite losing the...

Chris Hayes has established a new standard. It is henceforth fair game to say on national TV of any parent who has spanked his child that such parent "hits his kids." Hayes employed the inflammatory formulation on his MSNBC show this evening. Hayes played a clip of a child in a Cruz audience telling him "you suck" and Cruz responding "in my household, when a child behaves that way, they get a spanking." Proclaimed Hayes portentously: "I should note it's a matter of public record by Ted Cruz that he hits his kids." Okay then, so Hayes has equated a...

At a town hall meeting on his campaign-style tour of the Midwest, President Obama claimed that his economic program "reversed the recession" until recovery was frustrated by events overseas. And then, Obama said, with the economy in an increasingly precarious position, the recovery suffered another blow when Republicans pressed the White House for federal spending cuts in exchange for an increase in the national debt limit, resulting in a deal Obama called a "debacle." "We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, gotten the economy moving again," Obama told a crowd in Decorah, Iowa. "But over the last six months...

Michael Steele, the new Chairman of the Republican Party, has said some things about hip hop which have caused quite a stir. According to Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, whose political expertise everyone takes very seriously, Michael Steele "wants to redefine conservatism; he wants to make it hip hop, put it in a new package and sell it." What Joe the Plumber fails to realize is that, in its heart, hip hop really is conservative.

More constructive criticism aimed at idiots who are too dumb to ever take it: (See part 1 here : http://townhall.com/columnists/JohnHawkins/2009/01/09/a_you_suck_list). * America's colleges: Why is it that it seems like every former terrorist, communist, and kook with an IQ over 100 seems to be able to get a job teaching our kids in a university? Meanwhile, Jay Leno's show is out in the street interviewing people who think Fred Flintstone was our first President. What do we expect when our colleges are hiring moral degenerates like Ward Churchill and Bill Ayers to shape the minds of our college students? *...

It looks as though the USSC or for that matter any of our elected representatives are going to do anything to call into question Barrack Obama's foreign national status. So, it's up to us (American Citizens) to apply the pressure to get them to take notice. We can BOYCOTT any spending on luxury/non-essential items. This will get the governments attention. Pay your bills but don't spend your tax refund, don't spend your stimulus payment. Call in to local radio talk shows.......you know the drill. If it's good enough for Jesse Jackson, then it is certainly good enough for us in...

Electronic voting machines that a Michigan election official said last week incorrectly tabulated vote counts during pre-election tests in the state were used in Minnesota where the senate race between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger Al Franken is in dispute.
