I read somewhere that if you connect the top of Minnesota with the top of Maine, about 40% of all Canadians live below that line. That could easily be State 51.
I am not promoting electric cars but think back to the late 1800s, for instance. Where would you fill up with gasoline? A small number of people might have had electricity at home but where were the gas stations?
According to Brave Search, the first gas station was in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1905. That is a long way to travel for most people just to fill up your car - even if you could wait for 25 years!
Electric vehicles go back to the 1800s!
I believe that ,when there was an upcoming choice between electric vehicles and ones with internal combustion engines, John D Rockefeller intervened. His oil was used for heating and lighting but he saw an opportunity in motor vehicles.
So, he leaned on the legislators to force electric vehicles to require a safety certificate of some sort. Electricity is dangerous! Consequently, the extra bureaucracy put up the price of electric vehicles and they never took off. John D laughed all the way to the bank, again.
Inflation? I thought it was going to be a tariff!
I thought it was Tulsi Gabbard.
And I thought it was: Київ.
I liked the one about un-resealable packages containing only one serving because science.
How I laugh at bars of chocolate that come in resealable packs. I never had cause to re-seal one!
I think AI will go the same way as search engines. They will start out basic, they will improve, people will start to rely on them and then they will be subverted to project whatever version of the truth "they" want us to find out.
In colour, too!
What is it about that film? Maybe it is because I am the same age but it tells a story much better than all the modern sci-fi movies and it manages it without loads of special effects.
I do wonder how "Klaatu barrada nikto" sounded so Indo-European as a language even though it was an alien language. "Klaato (name) barred not." Gort, the ultimate: Get out of jail free card!
Often, if a site is paywalled or "not available in your area" it is still possible to archive that page and then view the archived copy. Like this, for instance.
I thought the charges at Anne Boleyn's trial were adultery, incest, and treason not witchcraft?
If these people had any imagination they would be dangerous!
These should help. This is where some think the 6 million came from and this is how many instances someone has found of usage between 1900 and 1945.
Yes, I seem to recall that it all got very complicated with the Tudors. Henry VIII wanted a divorce. He married his dead brother's wife who was from a powerful Spanish family and Catholics were not in favour of divorce so he invented his own religion. He then married the woman who became Elizabeth's mother. Henry had another daughter as well. Before that time there were no queens so Henry also changed those rules.
After Henry's death we had Mary who was brought up as a Catholic. She was known as Bloody Mary because she "eliminated" many of the new religion. Her brother, Edward VI did not last long and then we had Elizabeth for whom, one could argue, the new religion was created.
Elizabeth always thought he cousin, another Mary and a Scottish queen in her own right, was plotting against her. She was married to the French heir to the throne at one time as well but he died. Eventually, she was executed but the irony is that James I was her son so the Scots won anyway?
In fairness to King James I of England, who was also King James VI of Scotland, he ascended to the English throne in 1603 and the Catholics tried to blow him up in 1605. I can see why he might be a bit anti.
I remember that movie!
Actually, it could be one of quite a few movies.
I came across this video by Eva Bartlett today. She has been in both Gaza and Ukraine/Donbas and she is telling us about the war crimes she has seen.
I believe she is the same reporter that we see first at the 0:17 second mark of the posted video.
The figure is generally bigger than $48000. It may have been $48,000 for a mention of COVID on the death certificate but hospitals also got paid for accepting COVID patients and were paid again for putting them on a ventilator.
That was why every new patient, even ones from car accidents, were tested for COVID because if they were positive they received a lump sum.
EDIT: I just found a man who knows.
And here is an article.
And here is another one with even bigger numbers.
The first point is that just because Trump is threatening everyone with tariffs it does not necessarily mean that he will be imposing tariffs!
Remember, Trump is a negotiator. We won't actually know what is going to happen until the deal is struck.
My ex-wife had all the characteristics defined above. I don't know how I never saw it. You would think the name would have been a clue!
The TV show "The View" has been in the news a lot recently!
Remember Hillary's thesis on Alinsky?
It could be true, of course!
"Intellectuals" live in their own little world. They are big on book learning but they use it as a crutch. They may be able to tell you all about Marcus Licinius Crassus and his relationship to Caesar, Sulla and the Roman Empire but they are seldom able to work anything out for themselves. They know what was in the books but they are often not able to join any dots for themselves.
Many just read a pile of stuff and then regurgitate it when they feel it is appropriate. On the other hand, some people can think their own way through new problems and have no need to speak Latin or Greek to help them do that. Musk falls into this latter category.
Glad you liked it!
I keep all kinds of links from GAW but, occasionally, I group them together in a site that can be used for red-pilling. I have one for masks and the 2020 election as well.
In fairness, that is a pretty low bar.
Here is the current state of the petition asking for a new election.
