So...How's it going?

[Tunaman]

Maybe a hijab and burka made from confederate flags. That'll confuse some folks.

There's been a lot of talk about NYC lately. And places like Dearborn MI or "Epic City" in Texas.
Mostly about Islam and Muslims. Especially in the UK. Some about CA possibly splitting into two States.

I have a question concerning the history of Islamic expansion and colonization. When has it ever worked?
They have always been driven back every time Sharia Law was implemented. Consider Charles "the hammer" Martell. Perhaps the Crusades.
It's not a new story. Been going on near 1,500 years. You could condense it into an episode of a "Pinky & the Brain" cartoon.

I see the term "islamophobia" thrown around. A phobia is described as an irrational fear. But, is it irrational to fear a theology dedicated to total domination? Total global submission to Allah?

I recently came across this, if accurate might explain the general sentiment through the centuries.

I don't fear Islam. I know Americans will put up with just so much.
Let them build their Epic City and keep out non-believers. Get them all in one spot.
Then build a wall around it.

Forget the wall...MOAB

As commentary on Trump, Jimmy Dore says "no matter who you vote for you get John McCain".

I tend to agree.

Does anyone really believe the Argentinian fishing boats the military keeps vaporizing are actually drug boats ?

Just another false flag to start a war.

Are you serious?I thought you were smarter than that. The intelligence gathered on these boats happens even before they leave shore. I am 100% sure they are all loaded with dope. Sink them all.

I was trying to be nice. What I meant was build a wall 70 feet high all around, then fill it with water.

Yes.

These little boats would have to fill up more than 20 times to reach where "they" say they are going.

The math ain't mathin.

It's all another lie.

Just like releasing the Epstein files, and the JFK files, he has once again surrounded himself with the deep state, Bondi, Patel, and especially Susie Wiles chief of staff.

Oh US intelligence is so infallible, it's why there were so many weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. You thinking "I am 100% sure" is a bunch of nonsense besides whatever preconceived notions you have.

The US has a responsibility (socially and morally) to interdict those boats and actually prove they are drug smuggling, not blow the boats up and kill people.

I don't watch TV.
This ain't rocket science, just common sense.

I voted for him, he has completely turned away from almost all he campaigned on.

Back to Jeffry. The House voted today to have the DOJ release the Epstein files.
The final vote was 427 - 1 in favor. With 5 abstaining.

Remarkably cohesive across the aisle. Almost suspiciously so, given the division we've seen in recent years.
Next it goes to the Senate. It should be interesting to see if the results are similar.
Even if it passes all hurdles, any active investigation will not release evidence, and files will be redacted. We won't get the whole truth.

It's almost addictive, like watching a soap opera waiting for the next plot twist.

Unfortunately Candace Owens is right, the US government is Israeli occupied territory......

[Pyrate Jim]

I'm frustrated. I maybe have a dozen bookmarks over issues I find concerning.
Keep in mind I don't do "social media". No bookface or Xyz. I'll click links but never sign up with an account. I don't see everything.
What I do see, and most of my links stem from, is Utube.
And that's an algorithm where if you watch one episode of "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir" that's half of all you see for the next three months.
So, because I watch concerning videos, I end up seeing them pop up under suggested viewing in droves. Mea Culpa.

The frustrating part is that's there's very little I can trust. Sure, something with two minutes of video intertwined with twenty minutes of opinion.
What do I accept as truth? Mainstream Media is no help. They don't report news as they used to. There's no Brinkley & Huntley debating contrapuntally the cities we have lost. No Andy Rooney capping 60 Minutes.

I'm in a quandary. I don't feel comfortable posting other people's opinions for what amounts to minimal content, even if I feel that little content is relevant.
As an example.

Regardless of what the man says, whatever his opinion is, I have to question the original source. Do I believe it to be true?
Am I seeing actual reality, or some AI generated representation?

So governor Desantis keeps asking the Florida legislator to make a bill for the people to vote on, to eliminate property taxes on homesteads.

This would need a 60 percent vote of the constituents to change the Florida constitution.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans in the legislator want this, even the Trump anointed Byron Donalds is against it [he wont get my vote for governor].

As property values increase, many seniors on a fixed income can no longer afford to pay the property taxes, many lose their homes, so this would be a great thing here in seniorville.

So what they have done is put 8 bills out to vote on so that no one bill will get enough votes to change the constitution.

The uniparty is not for the good of the people no matter what state you live in.

This would only be for homesteads, meaning primary residences only, not those who own multiple properties, and not for commercial property, so there would still be a large amount of property taxes being paid.

One Tampa legislator gets over 100k a year from property taxes so you maybe can see, its all about their pockets, not helping constituents.

[Pyrate Jim]

Not all homes are homesteads. In fact, only a small percentage of properties qualify.
Sounds like someone is trying to re-define what the words means and what it stands for.

What I want to comment on is this, the East Wing of the White House.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/dems-move-to-set-limits-on-trump-s-donor-funded-white-house-ballroom-claiming-bribery-in-plain-sight/ar-AA1R7x43?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=6926062d7b1d480b862acf533ff513d1&ei=43

These Democrats are saying that the tech giants and billionaires donating, all of whom made their money through the auspices of our great country, would never willingly give back a portion of that wealth without ulterior motives.
Somehow, these donations are bribery. It certainly couldn't be that wanting to keep the status quo is something as simple as a tax write-off.
I guess I don't get it. Sure, go get Trump with the whole Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. The Mar-a-Lago valuation, the Stormy Daniels farce. That's against Trump.
But to accuse those donors of committing crimes? That's not going to end well. Democrat TDS really shouldn't be pissing off the financial market drivers.
Not to mention,

Among those who’ve donated to the ballroom project are Google, Apple, Meta Platforms, Amazon, Microsoft and Lockheed Martin.

.
Some of those names are more critical socially than financially. A society that, in part, supports free speech regardless of how ridiculous or confrontative.
A society that relies on those very people being threatened to provide their daily fix of internet. I'm sure we are all included that require it for work or recreation.
Now Democrats wish to call them criminals.
Why?
Because they donate a portion of their wealth, earned under US Law, to a Trump endeavor to enhance the beauty of a building representing the best of America.

Happy Thanksgiving. Found a couple tidbits for table conversation.
New York City already has plans for Mayor-Elect Mamdani to sign on his first day in office.
Boosting his pay another $40k, and all his cronies a 16% increase in salary.

Mayor Johnson of Chicago says arresting criminals is racist, and incarceration does not bring down violent behavior.
