A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
Maybe Don’s oft repeated caveat from Napoleon applies here. Let the GOP keep pushing bans of books and cirricula as their only plank and see how Americans react.
Continue reading “Americans don’t seem to agree with right wing book and subject banning.”
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” Trump said.
We are sending thousands of troops into potential war against Russia. Should the most prominent Republican be praising Putin while at the same time the Red Party (GOP so as not to confuse too easily with the other ”Reds”, although it seems it is hard to distinguish) calling our President the ”sign of weakness”.
“… I knew Putin very well,…” I’ll bet he did, and still does I would think.
“He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he’s a tough cookie, got a lot of great charm and a lot of pride,” Trump said. “And he loves his country, you know? He loves his country.” So does our ex-president it seems.
Here’s what some historians thought about “White Cargo” when it was published.
The video presents a talk show conversation with the authors of a book called “White Cargo” (2008). The thesis of the book holds that the indentured servitude used to provide labor to the American colonies was, for the most part, a white slave trade.

SCOTUS Justice Potter Steward, when pressed for a definition of obscenity, said ‘I know it when I see it.’ The test for divisive concepts should be more clear cut than that. Continue reading “What is a “divisive concept?””
WSJ Trudeau’s disastrous abuse of power
FWIW, I support vaccination, but not mandates. The Canadian Truckers protest is more about the mandates than the vaccine. Many of the protestors were vaccinated.
They had every right to protest, and to refuse to cross the border if they had to be vaccinated to come back, but they did not have the right to block roads and bridges.
So, it was a bad situation, but Trudeau proved that there is hardly anything bad that leftist governments can’t make worse.
If the deals are so good, why don’t the franchises pay? Because politicians fall all over themselves to subsidize billionaire owners and millionaire players at our expense? What is next, SNAP for Snyder, Medicaid for quarterbacks. Insanity definition fits nicely when it comes to stadiums and taxpayers.
I hesitate to share this story because of the misinterpretations doing so may inspire. However, if it is true that life insurance companies are observing unexpected death-rate spikes, this is something to know about.
“Dowd cited fourth quarter rises in death claims, compared to the 2019 rate, of 57% for Lincoln National, 41% for Prudential, 32% for Hartford, 24% for MetLife and 21% for RGA.”
The analyst (Edward Dowd) thinks the Covid vaccines are the cause. I think we need more information before jumping to that conclusion.
Trans swimmer dominates women’s swimming
All across this nation, Moms are getting up early to drive their daughters to practice for one sport or another where they excel. Dads are working overtime to cover the costs of supporting their daughter’s passion.
And they are seeing it all come to naught, and their daughter’s heart broken, as transgender athletes obliterate the women’s record books and soak up all the scholarships and wins.
They are watching this, and they are not amused. The left is going to pay.
Apologies for the leading question. That’s what makes it an “informal” poll.
