Who Supplies The Taliban - Where Do They Get Their Money From....

Is Russia supplying arms to the Taliban? Are they supporting the Taliban in order to make Biden look bad? Is Russia still in cahoots with the Repugs - wanting the Repugs and Tr**p to get back in power? Is this what is going on?

Did Kevin Costner Get Paid For His Appearance In The Field Of Dreams Game Yesterday?.....

Just curious? Or was this a sincere gesture on his part for his fortune to be cast in the original movie that has become a classic?

What Is The Dem Plan To Retain The House & Senate In 2022 & 2024?.....

I'll be very pissed if we let the Repugs steal these elections away because of gerrymandering and all the voter suppression ploys they are passing in the Red States.

We see what is going on with respect to these issues. It would be real sad if we don't do something to prevent losing.

Stopping This Pandemic Is Like Plugging Holes In A Dike......



As soon as one hole is plugged - another one opens up - and so on.

This is because we're all doing something different to deal with this pandemic.

You have 50 states doing their own thing.

You have maskers and anti-maskers.

You have vaxxers and anti-vaxxers.

People traveling from a hot spot in the country - to one that has things reasonably under control - and the Covid breaks out again.

You have mutations of the virus.

You have super-spreader events (i.e., Lollapoolooza; Sturgis; etc) where people throw caution to the wind.

You have Repugs turning this into a political football (i.e., let people get Covid - it'll make Biden look bad).

You have all this going on and as soon as those that do the right thing to take control - you have people doing just the opposite.

You have people wanting very badly to get back to a pre-pandemic normal. Get back to work. Get back to eating at restaurants. Get back to vacations. Get back to school. etc, etc, etc.

We rush things and we keep making the same mistakes as we expect different results.

I don't know if we'll ever get this under control.

Tr**p Loyalty Card or Saddam Hussein's Iraq's Most Wanted Deck Of Cards.....

When I heard about a Tr**p loyalty card - the first thing I thought about was the 'deck of cards' that was issued during the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition.

"The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency developed a set of playing cards to help troops identify the most-wanted members of President Saddam Hussein's government, mostly high-ranking members of the Iraqi Regional Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party or members of the Revolutionary Command Council; among them were some of Hussein's family members.

The cards were officially named the "personality identification playing cards". As of 2021, all but 4 of the 52 most wanted have been either captured or killed, eleven of whom have been released."

Maybe its time to counter release a 'deck of Tr**p cards' with all the treasonous members of his administration that got us to where we are today - on the brink of losing our democracy.

I'm sure we could come up with 52 Tr**p personnel to fill out the deck.

Saddam Hussein was the ace of spades in his deck.

Tr**p's card should be the joker.

We could have a counter fund raiser with a Tr**p Deck.

NOTE: Info on the Saddam Hussein Deck of Cards was obtained at this link:

Has Anyone Point Blank Asked Mark Meadows Or TFG Directly About The Cabinet Meeting?.....

What do you mean you were holding a Cabinet Meeting? What do you mean you attended a Bedminster Cabinet Meeting?.

Your not prez anymore. He's not prez anymore.

What the hell are you talking about - a Cabinet Meeting?

Who else is in this so-called cabinet?

Are you delusional? Are you just humoring TFG?

Are you making plans for another insurrection?

What's up???

We Hear Of Breakthrough Infections Of Vaccinated People With The Delta Variant. They Say.....

that because one is vaccinated - that they won't get violently sick, won't go to the hospital and won't die.

That is in some way - comforting - BUT - what do we know about lingering and long term effects of this 'delta variant'?

I consider myself in the high risk group for Covid. I'll be 73 y/o by the end of this month with some other underlying conditions.

If I get a case of this now - what other effects might it have on my body that they really don't have any valid info on right now?

This is the reason why I've never let up with all the precautions taken to not get Covid in the first place, (i.e., masking; gloving; wearing eye protection; social distancing; washing hands; sanitizing; getting vaccinated; etc).

Last year was one hell of a year. We had to do all that without the aid of a vaccine. This time it's different. It's not Covid that could kill us - but all of the irresponsible people that didn't get vaccinated and those that refuse to wear masks.

They could kill me now.

It Really Scares Me That There Are Americans Plotting To Overthrow Our Democracy....

and a lot of them are in government or have worked in government.

What's with this so called 'cabinet meeting with TFG' that Meadows was talking a about?

What about the meetings and planning that went on before that led to the 1/6 insurrection?

What about all the changing of history about this insurrection? What we saw in real time is not what happened. These were tourists not terrorists.

Sure - tourists always travel with 'bear spray'. (sarcasm)

What is really going on behind the scenes?

Why are they trying to bring us down? Don't they realize that they, their families, friends, colleagues will have to deal with the aftermath that they create?
