I noticed that too — lots of Eastern Europeans—Slovakia. Lithuania, Poland, Romania. And I saw Vietnam, Iraq, Brazil, Columbia, France and many others. Also tons of Brits, Irish, Canadians, and Australians. All positive. Got a little choked up too.

Sounds as ugly as the next four years would likely be were she to “win.”

I’ll be voting early in Virginia this week. Really pulling for Hung Cao!

I give Vance a 9.5 out of 10. I would have liked a piercing response to the 2025 lie.

JD killed it. I am so proud and impressed I can’t sleep. Almost felt sorry for Walz because he was so completely utterly outclassed. Almost. Found it interesting that they referred to the “Kamala” administration. I don’t think I heard the name of the Resident even once.

He said it. I wondered if I heard it wrong. But DJT truthed that he heard him say it too.

There were no evacuation orders for the whole region. The authorities who watch for these things were prepped for a storm but no one knew it would be on this scale. Give people a break. My son and many friends are stuck there and, believe me, they are not dumb and had no intention of “tempting fate.” I’ve been in the path of many hurricanes including Helene and have never had to evacuate. It’s true that not everybody is an expert in predicting what a hurricane will do and where it will hit hardest. But that doesn’t mean they deserve to suffer and die.

Also a lot of the area won’t have water service for weeks. Son and his girlfriend are going to attempt to get to our house in western Virginia tomorrow. They happen to have access to a clean stream they are using for drinking water right now.

My son is in Candler where he works as a welder. My niece lives in Asheville. Son was able to communicate with us through his GPS satellite emergency messaging device. He also has a ham radio so is able to get information. Today they both have spotty texting ability on their phones. The big problem is going to be getting water and food to all who need it.

I’ve visited that area quite a bit. Asheville runs totally on cell phone technology. You can’t even park your car without one. Heck you need a freakin’ phone to take a tour of the Biltmore (yes I saw the infamous basement swimming pool - creepy). They seem to have embraced the smart city concept. The police force is small, having been defunded a few years ago….

The town is overpopulated too - like the houses are three deep or narrow towers of apartments—and super expensive to rent. Lots of hippies who live at campsites or in old busses etc. It’s been a bit of a mecca for people fleeing California. This is going to be tough for most of them. My husband and I think a lot of them will end up leaving after this experience. The mountains are beautiful but there are a few things mountain dwellers need to be aware of….

Prayers for your Mom and all affected!

My gosh. I’ve never paid much attention to celebrities so I look them up when they come up in GAW context. There were 7 siblings and I think a half sibling in the Carter family, mostly born in the 80s. Four of them are now dead. Died at ages 51, 41, 36, and 34 (Aaron), mostly (allegedly) of drug ODs. One sister was found dead in the shower but they linked that death to drugs. Another died of fentanyl in 2023.

Bizarre and bizarrer. Living an hour from Greensboro NC I’m feeling particularly creeped out by this.

There is a really great audio series on Zionism, Britain, and the creation of Israel by a podcaster named Darryl Cooper. I happened to see an interview with him by Tucker, I think found through a link here on GAW. It is a deep dive into the people and the historical context. It’s lengthy - a six-part series but fascinating and worth the time. It was done in 2015-16 and covers the period from the 1890s to around 1950. Here’s the first episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-martyr-made-podcast/id978322714?i=1000337979011

Spitting image - but more like his great-grandmother. She was long past menopause when he was born.

Oops! The globalists didn’t mean to upset the Muslims. They forgot Jesus is one of their revered prophets. I wonder who will get an abject apology….

Etsy currently has hundreds of product listings featuring the iconic image. There were lots of t-shirts listed by July 14th and they have since multiplied. I’ll keep an eye on it and see if the fist listings suddenly disappear.

Tolkien actually denied LOTR was an allegory for any modern event. The story is so universal and contains so many human architypes that it resonates with human events of many eras. I suppose that when it was published in the 1950s it would have been hard not to see parallels to WWII, that being the latest human catastrophe/drama at the time….

I like your character parallels with the current political scene. Our world has no shortage of orcs. I sometimes think about who the ents might be…the Amish perhaps? How about the ghost warriors? I’d sure love to be able bring to back all the soldiers who died in the wars of the 20th century….

Anyway, my husband and I are major longtime LOTR fans. I’ve listened to the trilogy on audiobook twice on recent years and we’ve watched the movies multiple times. My son is also a huge fan and has now introduced his girlfriend to the films. She loved them — one of the ways we know she’s a keeper.

Some of us sat in our homes because everything was closed. I had actually longed to be able to work from home throughout my entire career, fighting hateful traffic, balancing making a living with raising kids, giving my all to give them a quality life, living on 4 hours per night sleep. For years I longed only for time and breathing space to write and do art. I also dreamed of living in the mountains. Suddenly one day, shortly after my kids were grown, I suddenly found myself working from home and have done so ever since.

The company tried to get workers to come back to the office. They set ultimatums, they cajoled, they threatened—and the workers simply….didn’t. It’s a software company and the developers got comfy not driving to the office. The young ones with pandemic babies literally couldn’t imagine going somewhere else to do stuff they already did at home and having to pay someone else to watch their kids.

My artwork is developing nicely. My husband got a job that enabled him to work from home too. In Sept 2020 we sold our house just as house prices soared. We bought a very old house in a rural mountain area. There was literally nowhere to go except the grocery store.

I am only sorry my wishes came true at such a cost of suffering to the world and from so evil a source. In my case, what they wished for evil, God used for good. I noticed that they could never have staged a pandemic without Zoom. In 2020 it seems like Zoom tech had only recently reached a mature enough stage to be accessible to the masses. Otherwise, I think we’d have had a “life threatening” pandemic sooner than 2020.

Scott Greer misrepresented the Supreme Court decision but other than that, the post is pretty accurate.

I was wondering that too since the word Springfield immediately calls The Simpsons to mind. I always wondered why they chose that name for their town setting.

Had to keep checking to make sure I wasn’t the Babylon Bee. As far as I can discern, through the fog of nonsensical language, the conclusion that the answer is not to help people make better decisions but rather to keep people with “white privilege” from making good ones…
