Is this Libertarian heaven?

People fending for themselves seems great…until it isn’t. Ok, this isn’t necessarily Ayn Rand paradise, but it is a rural area where everyone knows everyone else, works hard and mind their own business. No urban elites, or “rootless cosmopolitans” to poison the American rugged individualism. Everyone is armed. Including the mass murderer 6 years ago. Apparently, security costs more thieving tax money than people are willing to pay. So the cost is manifested in other ways.

De-Nazification again?

“On Friday, John Kirby, the spokesperson for the National Security Council, made a surprise announcement at a White House press briefing. U.S. intelligence, he said, had determined that the Kremlin was plotting to topple another European democracy. “Russian actors, some with current ties to Russian intelligence, are seeking to stage and use protests in Moldova as a basis to foment a manufactured insurrection against the Moldovan government,” Kirby declared.”

Same play, different stage. Create a fake separatist movement and attack later. Look on the map, Moldova is on the doorstep of NATO. It has no border with Russia. Russia cut gas to them and we have been keeping Moldova with enough to get through a fortunately mild winter. Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine and now Moldova. Fool me once, twice, three, now four times…at some point we need to realize this is war on Europe from a delusional megalomaniac.

The uproar over government recommendations and Twitter pales in comparison.

“In the documents, Shah emerges less as Trump’s man-on-the-inside at Fox than as a bridge between the then-president’s world and the network, and a reliable translator of Trump’s base for Fox’s management.“

This is blatant censorship and control of the largest MSM empire by the government. And it ended in violence.

I would say “wake up, smell the coffee”, but that ship has sailed…and sunk. IMO

That Carlson, what a kidder…Chansley footage was last 4 minutes in Capitol.

“The televised footage shows Chansley’s movements only from approximately 2:56 p.m. to 3:00 p.m,” prosecutors said in a 10-page court filing connected to the seditious conspiracy trial of five Proud Boys leaders, including Dominic Pezzola, who used a riot shield to initiate the breach of the Capitol.l

“Prior to that time, Chansley had, amongst other acts, breached a police line at 2:09 p.m. with the mob, entered the Capitol less than one minute behind Pezzola during the initial breach of the building, and faced off with members of the U.S. Capitol Police for more than thirty minutes in front of the Senate Chamber doors while elected officials, including the Vice President of the United States, were fleeing from the chamber,” they continued.”

“Chansley’s allies say the footage aired by Carlson might have changed the case against him. In Sunday’s filing, however, the Justice Department contended that it had shipped all but 10 seconds of the footage to Chansley’s attorney by Sept. 24, 2021 — about three weeks after Chansley pleaded guilty but more than a month before his sentencing.”

Oh those guys at FOX, they keep us smiling.

Modern redlining. Still insidious.

Black couple met with appraiser to appraise their home for selling and he came back with just under $1 million. Had a White couple pose as owners, same neighborhood, same house, 2nd appraiser, and the appraisal jumped to $1.45 million. Must be the new paint job.
The coupled sued the appraisers and won a settlement.

I am sure that is not an isolated case. Millions of sales and appraisals data confirmed that nationwide, and that is pointed in the article. And this was obviously not a bad neighborhood at those prices.

Really hard to say we don’t have built in racism lingering today. “Slavery ended150 years ago” is not the issue folks.
