Politics

OK, we have read/posted 4000 pages--sheesh, how long was War and Peace?

A little on forest mismanaged , I go and camp out about every 3 weeks to reconnect to reality ,so this weekend I took a few pics on the "state of the sawtooth forest:" in the rec. zone , no logging ,just wood cutting allowed, after a 100 thousand acre fire which they consider better than logging for the good of the forest, after the fire, the beetles move in and wreck destruction on whats left. The last pic was thined back about 60s is my guess ,see the difference!

Trump knows all about being disrespectful: e.g. his interview with Howard Stern bragging about groping women in public, peeping in Miss Universe dressing rooms, cheating on his wife with porn stars and playboy bunnies, and then painting pictures of himself as Jesus Christ. What blows me away is the born again types who keep making excuses for his inexcusable disrespectful behavior. But hey, Trump has made lack of self respect stylish. It's a sad commentary on the evolution of American culture.

He can do whatever he wants, no matter how absurd it may be.
But his loyal followers are dwindling as they realize he’ll drop them like a hot potato whenever he feels like it—or even at the slightest sign of dissent from within his own ranks.
Someone like Jeanine Pirro—as we can see here —doesn’t want to suffer the same fate as Rudy Giuliani, and many public officials will face that fate when the monarch eventually leaves office.
I can well understand that at the ballot box, the only choice is between bad and even worse. It’s the same for us here.
But to actually believe the countless absurdities and cheer them on is not a matter of being on the right or the left.

And speaking of absurd, I see tonight Trump is blaming Minnesota state officials for cyber attacking their own water supply utilities. Ummm ... yeah ... okay. Thanks for that dog shit sandwich, Donald. Yum.

Come on.......

The blue areas on that map have been selectively handpicked to include large low population density regions and omit high density areas. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the geographically gullible.

• Rusland: Omits just about all the cities, includes the Siberian wilderness and the arctic wastelands
• US: Includes only the "rolling cornfields" midwestern states
• Australia: population density 4 people / square kilometer
• Canada: population density 4 people / square kilometer
• Mongolia: population density 2 people / square kilometer
• Greenland: population density 0,03 people / square kilometer
• Saudi Arabia: a lot of sand
• Algeria: a lot of desert
• etc. etc. etc.

South Africa in comparison has a population density of 51 people / square kilometer

As a point of reference. The Biden administration did more to stop the distribution of Ivermectin and Hydroxycloroquine than it did Fentanyl.

For any of our self proclaimed professor-type experts, I take Ivermectin occasionally to clean out my digestive system of things that should not be there, u.w. worms (hopefully I do not nor ever had any) and harmful bacteria. There are Ivermectin products made for human consumpsion. I figure it won't hurt me and may help. Better safe than sorry!

Huh? You are doing exactly what you accuse the OP of doing by arbitrarily selecting low density blue areas!!! Try looking at the map for exactly what it is. You say all the blue areas are low density? Wrong! Some of the highest densities on Earth are in blue or are uncolored… Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, some European countries, etc. The demographic zones are logical geopolitical subdivisions.

What I took from this is all the countries in blue, to total 22000, one country in red 27000. There is nothing about population density.
What I take from this is, poverty and education quality, drive murder rates.

Yes. In addition to predominate, acceptable, underlying culture.

Perfect example of the misinformation that was spread like wildfire......

“Gunshot victims left waiting as horse dewormer overdoses overwhelm Oklahoma hospitals, doctor says,”


Was the headline for Rolling Stone magazine where they reported that......
"Gunshot patients are being turned away from Oklahoma hospitals because of emergency rooms filled with horse wormer overdoses!"

The article even went on to quote a doctor.... who had been fired from the facility two months before covid.

Then CNN goes after Joe Rogan for spreading "disinformation" that we now know is true.

Going as far as doctoring videos to make him look horrible after he got covid.

The people who took this hook line and sinker just laugh it off and scream for "Covid Amnesty" for all their dipshit behavior, but under the very definition of Amnesty you would have to first admit you did something wrong before you could receive it.

Again people laugh it off, but I was living in Austin and I guarantee you that if Biden had come on national TV and given instructions to report the unvaccinated and to load them up on rail cars for relocation to "quarantine camps"; a LARGE portion of the population would not only have supported this but would have gleefully participated in rounding up their neighbors.

Despite being vaccinated myself, I made the decision to leave Austin because if shit truly ever hit the fan, the last thing I want to do is be surrounded by self serving group thinkers.

It seems others may be interested in their gut health. I responded to a DM for where to buy human quality Ivermectin so I will share it with all,

Amazon sells this,
https://www.amazon.com/DYGRLSHA-Ive...ivermectin+12mg+tablets&qid=1785851107&sr=8-4
It's $90 for 100 tablets.

I have Ivermaze labeled product, 12 mg in a 100 tablet bottle that I must have got from Jase medical in a travel medicine kit.

After Googling Ivermectin or Ivermaze I received a better offer than Amazon.

Got to love Google in bed with Facebook because here is another advertisement,
https://www.shopnuviamd.com/product...d=120247313407080132&ad_id=120247313620740132

I have read that some people just take the horse dewormer Ivermectin. I can't recommend that. Perhaps others have experiance with it?

Follow the money! In the animal vet trade, ivermectin has been known for years, at least 40 years, as a top tier if not the top tier treatment for parasites in animals. It is inexpensive and that is the problem! You can easily spend small ransom money for veterinarian prescribed anti parasite monthly tablets for your dog or very inexpensive and equally or more effective ivermectin. Guess which one vets normally prescribe for your dog? Hey, veterinarians and the drug industry sales reps need to send their kids to Ivy League schools too!

I’m sharing this for those who may not otherwise have access to it.

Here's another report about him,

My Sheriff does not allow any caliber less than.32ACP for CCW. I had actually inquired about 5.57 as Sportsman's Warehouse had a sale on FN Five-SeveNs some time ago, and it seemed interesting.

I think the point is, that map is absurd on its face. It splits up the US, it includes vast areas of virtually uninhabited space, and in general is an odd breakdown. Now, if it juat showed SA vs all of Europe/Canada/Japan/Australia and didn't split up various countries or regions it would make more sense.

Data can almost always be easily be manipulated to fit your viewpoint.
