Well said! I was there too and most young people at the time were too busy finishing school, working for a living and raising a family not to mention not attracted to the thinly veiled Marxism of hippy liberals to bother with it. If you saw someone who looked like a hippy most likely they were some dumb kid thinking it was fashionable. Keep in mind, the left and particularly their propaganda/"news" machine NEVER give up on a tried and true manipulation ploy.
But they're not. The people pushing this garbage aren't old and older. They're trying to "prove" that with selected photos, videos and news stories from their propagandists, perhaps even selected hiring for their protests yesterday. I saw actual video of one protest in my area and saw nothing but very young people and none looked or sounded like locals.
And why are they shoving this in our faces? Because they want to set the young ones against the old ones and revive their old myth about the hippies. Ask anyone who was young in the 60s and 70s how many actual hippies they ever laid eyes on. It was a construct.
For starters, only a tiny fraction of the so-called hippy generation were hippies or anything close to it. Don't believe the liberal press from then any more than now. I believe they're focusing on oldsters to purposely stir antagonism between youngsters and the supposed boomers. Because that's what they do.
This is bs designed to save Obama from any blame for the Dems 2024 catastrophe, planted by a former Dem political operative (funny how Laila forgot to mention that) who is now a "reporter" for liberal NBC digital (funny how she forgot to mention that either) who wrote a book about Hillary panned for being too sympathetic to her. Which tells me Obama is trying to clean up his reputation for who knows what but he's up to something. Love the bit claiming he opposed Biden too. He's the one who picked Biden and Harris and put them both where they were. But secretly...yeah, right.

I've been arguing for weeks for eliminating the DC federal court. Franklin Roosevelt, who held the record for placing communists in the government until Obama came along, created it for I'm sure no pure motives. DC right now has the same population Virginia (not a huge state) had in 1791. No small city, and DC is a small city, has any business with its own federal court. Fire them all and eliminating their lavish federal retirement would be fine with me too except for the one or two good ones.
You need to look up "fraktur." German artists in that time period made beautiful documents like this for marriage, birth, baptism. There are fraktur in my family dating from the 1700s. This is in Virginia in an area settled largely by Germans. It was also common in Pennsylvania among the Germans there.
Actually, I think they use the whole olives, seed and flesh, but it's still not considered a seed oil. They probably need a better term to describe the bad oils, one that points out how they are pretty much industrially manufactured and not pure pressed oils like olive oil. (Having one time gone to the pick your own orchard and picked five gallons of cherries, which then needed to be seeded with a hairpin until I was ready to scream, I would hate to have the job of seeding a bunch of olives.)
Butter can be naturally yellow depending on how much beta carotene is in it, depending on the cows' diets. Some can have color added but not all butter is white. It's margarine that's dyed yellow to make it look more like butter.
Purkiss, I don't know if you're a farmer, stumbled across this on the NY Post. I hope it helps: https://nypost.com/2025/03/07/us-news/trump-says-south-african-farmers-can-get-rapid-pathway-to-us-citizenship-after-suspending-foreign-aid/
Oh, my gosh, the vandals in this case are the officials at Washington and Lee University (to be known henceforth as Washington and University?) https://www.wluspectator.com/articles/2023/7/12/traveller-plaque-on-stables-removed-grave-marker-to-be-replaced.
Unfortunately, we have our share of liberal asshoes in Virginia who have no idea how revered Lee was and is and it's not about the War in Defense of Virginia, as my great-grandfather's 7th Virginia Cavalry muster role terms it. Maybe we should sic the ladies of the UDC on them.
Has anyone found anything to verify this? I searched and the only thing I came up with is the original post in the link. It would certainly explain why Susan Rice is all over the liberal media trying to make Trump and Vance look bad and Zelenskyy look like a poor, picked upon victim.
I'm no lawyer, but this is the text of the Logan Act. I see nothing about having to have pretended to represent the country. "Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects."
And I have friends who were from California who told me the opposite. Guess it depends on where you were and whether what you were seeing were actual hippies or hippy wannabees.
