She's going to come back with some cockamamie line about how no means yes, or this is what he really meant, while she continues to support democrats and grabs at anything to try and stay relevant. What a sad commentary on how to go about life, but it sure is fun as hell to watch.
I appreciate you took the time to put this together. It helps fill in the gaps of my thinking of the twitter phenomenon. I created an account right after Musk came on board and go there just to see what all the fuss is about. Truth Social seems a little simpler, but both do the job of getting the information out to the people.
Well done Fren.
Of all the things I think about in life when I'm daydreaming, and I never thought of a frog with a missile strapped to its back. I feel like a complete idiot, lol.
All this stuff about the White House being fake / unoccupied is interesting. Apparently the resident's granddaughter is getting married there today.
Great, going to be humming that tune for the rest of the day 😄
The Great Awakening is a war that is being waged in all dimensions: material, financial, economic, institutional, psychological, emotional, intellectual, spiritual.
Saving this post to read again. Great work. I think the part I copied above is forgotten by a lot of people and they tend to just concentrate on the political side of things. People need to realize this is way more than just a change in leadership and a financial restructuring.
When Neil Peart died, the loss was incalculable. He was truly the master of his craft. 😟
This is posted in all fairness as an edit to one of my previous posts on this topic. I still maintain that compared to Trump, she is a minor player, but I am one to look at both sides of the issue: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/11/18/kristi-noem-pushes-back-on-new-york-times-framing-her-comments-as-critical-of-trump/
Just read somewhere that five carrier groups are surrounding Europe. There weren't five over there when I was in. Man, I wish I could go back, knowing what I know now.
Well, this is some good news:

If people really think it's important to do all that tweeting, maybe they need to look in the mirror and re-evaluate where the hell they are going in life, especially when [if at all possible] they consider that there's more to life than followers and blue check marks. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and all those big tech companies have contributed heartily to the disintegration of our society and made us slaves to our phones, where information is right at our fingertips and the latest "breaking news" is right around the corner. It's an addiction, more powerful than any drug. "Look at me, look at me, I think so-and-so is a prick and I am more important than they are!"
Not that this means a whole hell of a lot, but I tell my students regularly when they check their phones 200 times a day that 40 years ago when I served in the Navy, going to school and learning how to operate nuclear reactors on ships, I was able to become qualified top watch on a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, one of the most powerful killing machines ever devised, and was able to do that all without one single cell phone [granted, they hadn't been invented yet, but you get the point]. There is life outside of social media. You just have to look for it. Remember what Mark Twain said: "I am not that important that I always have to be near a phone." So true, even more than a hundred years later.
Amen to that. The cool thing about his club is that all you need to be is a patriotic American who wants to Make America Great Again.
Once again, another one comes out of the pack and shows her true colors. I originally paid attention to her, she was a fresh face on the scene, an attractive, smart, conservative woman...and that's all fine, but she's peanuts compared to Trump. These people are in no position to opine about how they think Trump will do or whether or not he is the guy for the job - this giant of a man took an unbelievable amount of shit from a bunch of people because his number one goal was to expose the swamp, and he did, when he could have easily told everyone to go fuck themselves and go about living his comfortable life.
Trump is still the President. He never left. He is in control of CentCom and has the backing of the military - no, not the woke fake TV military, but the real one behind the scenes. There is a plan. He knows it, and so do those close to him. We are privileged to have a fighter of his caliber in our ring. The choice people have is to get behind him and fight to make this country great again, or to fall by the wayside and go with the latest snake oil salesman. He has repeatedly intimated, if not stated outright, that he has a way to determine who is true friends are, even if it means walking right up to the edge of the cliff.
Let this process play out. Trust the plan. Do your research. Stock up and keep your powder dry. We are close to the dawn of a New Republic. Get on board or get the fuck out.
One of Tom Petty's better tunes. Still like Last Dance with Mary Jane the best.
Karizona. I like it.
Never cared for that guy. Overrated fucking creep.

Well, well, well, would you look at that. What caught my attention is the first reporter, the woman, framing her questions in a combative style and the members weren't having any of it. Go get 'em, Comer, Jordan et alii.
40 years ago today I got off the bus at Great Lakes Naval Training Center, was promptly yelled at, was asked what the f*** my problem was, and was called a fat boy, thus beginning my career in the United States Navy, lol.
There's a massive catch-22 involved here. When you're young, time crawls along, and when you get on in years, it goes too fast. When you get to the point in your life when you look back more than you look forward, it amplifies the problem. When family members start to shuffle off, you realize more and more that it is time to make what you have left in years worth every minute. You look back and pine for things you always wanted but could never obtain; you second-guess your decisions and wonder what it would be like if you did something differently or took a different path. I am finding out that such energy is wasteful, but you can't just turn it off like a light switch. However, you still have some time left, and by directing your efforts toward something you really love, it evens out.
When I was younger, I always wanted to become a concert pianist. I first heard Claude Debussy's Claire de Lune when I was five. Didn't know what it was, but ever since then I could not find a piece, other than the Adagio from Mozart's 23rd Piano Concerto, that sounded as harmonious and as beautiful as if it were written in Heaven. Since circumstances in life dictated a different path for me, I made a decision to offset my lack of concert pianist skills to construct an audio system that would convey such beauty as realistically as possible so that it would appear as if I were playing in front of a massive audience. That was one of my life goals, to be worked on while getting a career and paying the bills and getting married and all that. Now, fast forward to today. I have that system. I have a venue where when I need to, I can put on music and escape back to my childhood. It is that very thing that keeps me sane and wards off depression. When I feel down because of all evil that is going on in the world, I know that I have a safe haven where no one can hurt me.
Look, I am going to die forgotten, with the exception of two people, my wife and son. I seek no sympathy. I am content. Do what you have to in a final quest to become content, before you take your terminal breath. Find the one thing or the one place where you can go to achieve this sense of peace, whether that be in a church, an animal shelter, a meadow, a mountain top, wherever - just make time to go there, and value that time as if it were your last time on earth. You may find that when you do this, you will be able to say "yes, it's all good." Sorry for the long post.
He's entitled to his own opinion, but I still don't trust the guy as far as I can throw him. There's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way.
Captain Obvious speaking here, as soon as Trump endorsed him I thought it was part of an elaborate trap to flush people out of the thicket. Hard to wrap my head around this, it is more of a gut feeling. There has to be more to it. As far as MTG supporting him, I may be in the minority here, but I don't really trust her.
