Politics

The legacy media is purposely pumped into homes free of charge on 3 major FREE networks
Nowdys though, one can’t get ABC, CBS or NBC free without some sort of a subscription. The flat TVs don’t come with rabbit ears.

I do not have a cable package, just a 2 Gig internet connection. If I try to stream anything from the “free” 3 I get a message saying I need a subscription from my Internet provider.
 
An op-ed piece, from a former Congressman, worth reading.

"Any success I, as an American citizen, have enjoyed was due solely to my inheritance of freedom in our Declaration of Independence and our U.S. Constitution. Those great documents endowed us all with abundant opportunity without guarantees. And they changed the course of history, not just for Americans but for billions of people around the world."

 
Until we have the facts, I may as well guess with the best of them....and my best guess is domestic terror cells A. doing what we did to Iranian scientists, or B. replacing their scientists with ours?
One of the victims was pointing towards corporate mercenaries.

You can buy an HD antennae for your flat screen tv and get over the air stations.
 
CNN one of the “Free 3”, huh?. I read here of three gig internet connection but then a complaint that some of the outlets require subscription? I think I just woke up in a bad twilight zone episode. My tv, a flat screen Samsung BTW, uses both over the air broadcast as required by law and it’s hooked up to basic internet feed via my WIFI. I get a pazillion variety channels including local market iterations from New Mexico, Utah and Colorado of the basic MSM alphabets plus PBS, Fox, etc. I have no subscriptions but more internet and broadcast options and variety than I’ll ever need or want. It’s “free” except for my basic home internet connection and occasional, about every ten year maintenance of the rooftop UHF antenna. But no, last I checked, I don’t get the pickle ball channel nor the annual tiddly winks World Cup. ;)

I dont think he is seriously suggesting that Norway could fix it, I read it more like he is referring to a case of "You break it, you buy it".

Of course if is more complicated than that, but I dont think that Trump did himself much of a favor claiming so that he destroyed Irans nuclear program in june only to come back the next year and do it all over again. That probably made this second war much harder to sell both at home and abroad.

It is to bad that there seem to be no real evidence that there was a functional nuclear program up and running, perhaps if the US were able to seize the enriched Uranium that might sway the opinion.
No, I don't think we should fix anything.

If a loudmouth punk gets in my face, starts throwing punches and I knock a few of his teeth out, I'm not going to be a nice guy and pay for his dental work.

Quite the opposite. He needs to learn the lesson that if he starts a fight, he may end up with some busted Chiclets.

I think the "you broke it you buy it" commentary was related to the Strait of Hormuz (a side effect of kicking Irans teeth in)..

but.. as has been said more times than can be counted at this point.. if Europe doesnt want to participate in the solution, then Europe gets no say in what the solution looks like.. if that solution provides great advantage to the US and/or Israel and creates a pain point for Europe, then Europe will simply have to live with the pain..

No play = no say....

No one cares if Europe bombs Iran.. they werent asked to attend that party to begin with..

One of the side effects of the US and Israel bombing Iran however is hormuz..

If you want Hormuz opened to any standard that you can/will agree with, you probably need to participate in that action..

Otherwise, no one cares what you want..

you can jump on board and take a defensive posture and escort ships headed to your ports or with your flag on them.. or.. you can figure out how to deal with the loss of import from the region and inability to export to the region..

I dont know about the rest of the US, but gas is already down $0.40 a gallon from the peak it hit a few weeks ago here, and is still slowly moving down... no other major commodites have been impacted in my local area that Im aware of..

News cycles matter in the US.. all of the screaming "the midterms!!!!" even just a couple of weeks ago are already quickly fading into the past.. people in the US are frankly barely even paying attention to the war in Iran right now.. they are far more interested in how Ilhan Omars net worth skyrocketed from $100K to $30M in a matter of just a couple of years.. and once she got called out on it how her net worth has suddenly plummeted back to $100K again.. Or Kash Patels $250M lawsuit against The Atlantic, or the SecLabor stepping down amid investigations, than they are bombs falling in Iran.. give it 2 more weeks and they'll have moved on to the next point of interest..

Hell.. Ukraine rages on.. and you can barely get a major news outlet to report on it now... when 6 months ago its the only thing they wanted to talk about..

So.....is that the latest European medias narrative to try and discredit Trump?
The Iran nuclear program is some sort of myth or Hobgoblin?.....lol
Are you really that naieve.?

The media lost interest in the Ukraine, because they found a shiny new object,( anti Trump narrative) to focus on.

Ya, certainly a click bait story. My gut says it’s still too early to tell whether it is a real or a fabricated perceived statistical cluster. I heard one explanation that made some sense that some of it has to do with corporate insiders covering tracks. My instincts say it may be a statistical cluster but not necessarily a nefarious conspiracy where some of the cases can linked to the stress and secrecy of the work.

I’m sure the Area 51 groupies are abuzz with theories reference this :) Bob Lazar’s reveal about his work at S-4 surely puts him at risk if the nefarious conspiracies carry truth. I know he was pressured politically at relatively low bureaucratic levels within NM and the city of Albuquerque and was forced to abandon his business and to move. He had a small business supplying hobby market fireworks and model rocket components. Obviously some entity much higher up than state or local government pressured the local bureaucrats to shut down his livelihood. Currently I believe he’s living somewhere in the PAC NW. I do not know, but wouldn’t doubt, the MIB (US Air Force, OSI @ Kirkland) had some involvement with the bureaucratic threatening of Lazar, forcing him out of business and to move. ;)

Actually to some degree Trump has behaved a little like your 5 year might have, or at least mine does that sometimes, ie going back and forth changing his/her mind;)

For example, just over three days in march is was like this:

March 14: Wants allied/naval help
Trump said: "Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships".

March 16: Urges allies to join quickly
‘We will remember’: Trump warns countries to help secure Strait of Hormuz as shipping stalls
On Monday, Trump said "numerous countries" were "on their way to help".

Marc 17: Declares the US does not need help from anyone.
“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!” he wrote on Truth Social. “Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!”

Perhaps the US allies are finding it hard to take what he says serious when he goes back and forth so much in just a few days?

No pretty much my same analogy. It follows a timeline.

First, would you like to help? No, ok fine.

Second, I will remember you didnt help. When my 5 year old doesnt help and then wants ice cream, I remember she didnt so she doesnt get it.

Third, now that the work is done and she wants to help, because she wants ice cream, its too late. Trump is just less diplomatic. I would never tell my 5 year old she was not needed, but obviously a different situation.

So following your timeline, March 14th to March 17th, you guys didnt want to help, realized Trump will probably remember this and there will be a consequence, but by the time your leaders got their collective head out of their asses because they are more worried about polls or offending people than actually doing their job, the job was pretty much over.

Trump didnt nessarily change his mind. The situation changed.
 
Hopefully our conservative Virginians get out and vote “NO” on the re- districting of congressional districts. The dems are trying to move the balance of power from a 6-5 democrat advantage to a 10-1 advantage.
The red states need to get off of their collective asses and do the same.

This whole redistricting saga started because Trump told the red states, specifically Texas, to do the redistricting.
 
I have rabbit ears hooked up behind my smart TV for when the high speed internet goes out. Works good enough to get the 3 local networks and misc others. Or did the last time I needed it anyway...

Started long before Trump with the courts forcing southern States to redraw districts to include minority majority districts. Which I thought was against the law to draw districts based on race.
 
Looks interesting. Comes with a 38 ft. cable. I'll have to research, as I do not want cables running around all over the place. I also have a lot of concrete in my house, as a matter of fact I had to buy Netgear Orbi repeaters to place around the house to have decent Wifi speed. Without the Orbi living room has 30 Mb speed, and with the Orbi 1.4Gb speed.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
