  • Five Million Years to Earth - for your consideration

    08/10/2023 3:22:32 PM PDT · by Samurai_Jack · 40 replies
    For your consideration. Five Million Years to Earth The 1967 version was a remake of the original Quatermass and The Pit from 1953. If you're not desensitized by modern bombastic film making, it's a frightening film. Listen carefully, you'll hear it's a warning from the nascent world of the arts. 5 million years ago the primates were modified by the dying Martian race of arthropods. They evolved from that modification. And that hive mind lurks in us all and periodically, because that's their way, they purge all who do not respond to the power. Anyone who would not be affected...

    “Here’s how Chinese state media describe baizuo,” Tucker began, quoting, “‘They are people who only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment, who have no sense of real problems in the real world, who only advocate for peace and equality to satisfy their own feelings of moral superiority and who are so obsessed with political correctness that they tolerate backward Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism.'”
  • FUENTES: ‘I Am Done Being Tricked And Betrayed And Abused By The Republican Establishment’

    National File ^ | November 21, 2020 | TOM PAPPERT
    “I am done being tricked and betrayed and abused by the Republican Party,” launched Fuentes. “The Trump Revolution began in 2016 as a revolution against the Republican Party. The Republican Party, which before stood only for the donors and the special interests.” Fuentes added that “President Trump fought” the establishment and special interests and “made the Republican Party represent us, the American people,” and that the current fight against the Republican Party’s willingness to let Joe Biden win the election through fraud represents an extension of the same inter-party turmoil.

    MADISON - Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says his chamber of the Wisconsin legislature will convene to pass non-spending bills and act on appointments on Tuesday even if minority Democrats remain out of state in an effort to block a vote on Governor Scott Walker's budget repair bill. Could one of those bills be the union aspect of the budget bill, voted separately? Democratic state Sen. Jon Erpenbach told The Associated Press on Monday that Republicans could attempt to attach the part of the proposal taking away collective bargaining rights to an unrelated bill and pass it Tuesday.

    THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | February 17, 2006 | Charles Hurt
    Democrats have taken more money from lobbyists than Republicans during the past 15 years, according to an independent analysis of campaign contributions. Since the 1990 election cycle, Democrats have accepted more than $53 million from lobbyists while Republicans have taken more than $48 million for their election campaigns, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Data provided by the nonpartisan group also shows that when Democrats controlled Congress in the early 1990s, they consistently hauled in more than 70 percent of the town's lobbyist money. The group is a leading critic of Texas Republican Rep. Tom DeLay's ties to lobbyists....

    Now it's time for a little payback. Mr. Gardner is leading a band of 13 commissioners from Western counties who have filed to seek protection for a rare new species: the northern snakehead fish, also known as the ?Frankenfish.? Yes, Mr. Gardner understands that the carnivorous, Asian-bred fish not only can swim but also crawl across land and wreck havoc on local wildlife. And no, he lives nowhere near the Potomac River, where the snakehead makes its home — and that's the point. "As I read about this fish in the Potomac, I thought, 'You know, that sounds like an...

    The Washington Times ^ | 01/21/05 | By Matthew Cella, Christina Bellantoni and Jon Ward
    At one point, a demonstrator made a snowball about the size of an orange and tossed it behind him into a crowd of police and Bush supporters. Within seconds, two large men jumped him, pushed him down to the ground and punched him in the face repeatedly. A crowd quickly gathered, and women screamed for the beating to stop. Blood was visible on the young man's face and on the pavement. He was then led away by police.

    However we decide to prosecute this war, we should keep one thing in mind, terrorists only understand and respond to terror. Our activities must be characterized by nonstop, extreme violence, and ruthlessness. We must create a state of existence for these people that they recognize as a state of terror that they would like to be able to visit on us, but cannot because they don't have the means. We must make it a "living hell" for them 24 hours a day until they crack and then hit them again, and again, and again......... Read this - it's very good...

    Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2003 1:10 p.m. EST Dish It Back to Cyber Protesters Another group is about to endanger national security and interrupt the workings of the White House and Congress by cyber-marching on Washington tomorrow.

    THEY put out some pretty vicious stuff out of Paris every day," John F. Kennedy complains in a tape recording newly made available by the late president's library. "They either attack us for trying to dominate Europe or they attack us for withdrawing from Europe, or that we won't use our nuclear force or that we'll get them into a war and they're not consulted." Kennedy's outburst came in 1963, in reaction to the nationalist policies of Charles de Gaulle. But most every president since World War II has shared the sentiment at times usually about France, but often about...
