Oh boy, you all may find this very interesting....

As many of you may recall, I work in Center City Philadelphia, and I was just informed by an insider that now-retired Judge Trump of the Third Circuit of the Federal Judiciary, who filed financial disclosures which were in question, is being actively investigated for “inaccuracies “. Apparently, her generally accepted accounting principles were not as generally accepted as she thought…

Anyone familiar with her circumstances has stated to me personally that she “had” to retire…

Yeah yeah yeah...

But the question is:

Does she like beer?

of course

This is going to sound obtuse at first, but please bear with me...

When I was a kid, my father used to say to me that there is one publication in the United States which never intentionally lies to its subscribers, and that publication is The Racing Form. The reason for this is that if you lie to gamblers, they will never trust your publication again, that it’s all about truth and money and you don’t mess with gamblers because they understand that truth is essential.

Of course, Our media has does nothing but dissemble, distract, and lie to us and even when they are telling the truth attempt to shade it as just one of many possible truths which include outright lies. Philosophers of an earlier time, no matter what their bent was, would be spinning in their graves like gyroscopes. Who on earth with a brain would not understand that Russia was going to do this deed without question and without mercy? Listening to these commentators before the invasion was like listening to football panels prior to any given NFL game: and it was about as ridiculous as anything I’ve ever heard on a pregame sports program. I once had the misfortune to be listening on the radio to Bill Walton who predicted that without question Oklahoma was going to trounce Villanova in the NCAA tournament and with ignominy. I do believe that Villanova set a record for blowing out a team in The Final Four with a 44 point margin of victory. (Walton always despised Philly-area teams). My point is that the certainty with which he spoke angered me so much that I had trouble driving sanely, and I was trying to get home to watch the game. The prejudiced and generally ignorant so-called experts are the bane of our existence as a democracy. Right now, they are fundamentally giving the Republicans the advantage of being a reasonable entity in supporting Putin against a country which has a democratically elected individual at its helm. This is antithetical to democracy, to humanism, to human rights, to quite frankly, sanity.

In my youth, any entities who called for the victory of Russians in this regard would instantly lose their careers and possibly their freedom. If you watch Being the Ricardos on demand, you will see the potential of one headline in one single paper to ruin the careers of the most popular television stars in the USA. it happens to be a terrific film and well worth watching, particularly if you recall that era or having watched the endless reruns as a kid. But I digress: In any event, these Putin-lovers should be drawn and quartered. Politically of course: I would never ever suggest putting them in the sights of a riflescope. That would be bad. And terrible…and inhumane….

AND EXACTLY THAT WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS.

I am a child of the 1950's...

If a commentator/newsman stated on television that which the GOP is presently espousing, he (it was almost entirely “he’s” then) would be removed and probably prosecuted for treason/sedition or at the very least, he wouldn’t be able to go to buy a newspaper without being tailed by a black car which had a “whip” antenna.

A friend of my brother’s made the mistake in 1958 of buying a Hammer and Sickle flag at the UN and had a problem a few days later when “police stopped by to say hello” having received a tip from “concerned neighbors”.

“Young” people have no idea what the prevailing mentality was then.

Fascinating...

The books behind President Biden are two volume sets of each president in order. Does anyone have any idea what they are?

Just had a "funny" thought...

Watching the clips of the FOX idiots, giddy with anticipation over what they (and nearly everyone else) assumed would be bad job numbers, followed by their upset/stammering/nearly speechless response when the numbers were announced reminded me of the Duke Brothers’ reaction in the film Trading Places, when they realize that they’ve been tricked out of their fortunes.


Moment of realization at 4:50

Here's a thought...

Perhaps the MSM will be as wrong about the outcome of the Midterms as they were about today’s jobs numbers. If we play our cards right, there might well be a groundswell against these neo-Nazi MFers who have the “unmitigated gall” to tell everyone that 1/6/21 was a political dialogue or some BS to that effect.

Then again, if we give up before the fight, then we are handing these creeps the country on a platter….

An honest question:

I’m not questioning the intelligence services or the military, so my question is: does anyone KNOW how a positive identification may be made either on site or in transit of someone who detonated a suicide bomb of that magnitude?

I’m not saying it cannot be done, I’m simply asking if anyone here knows the medical/coroner protocol. I thank you in advance.
