  1. Glenn Beck was discussing this last week. It could affect U.S. 401Ks. He stated their debt at $350B.

    I don't understand how a corporation can borrow money to create something no one wants.

    It’s not a matter of getting out or not, it is the complete ineptitude of the execution.  Biden ignored the advice of his intel, military and State Department advisers and set an arbitrary date for withdrawal (twice) instead of a conditions based timeline.  Now the Taliban are holding him to the standard he set.  Results? 12 Marines are dead dozens injured, 1000+ Americans are still stuck in country and tens of thousands of our allies have been abandoned to the tender mercies of the Taliban and ISIS-K.

    I do not believe that Biden is this incompetent by accident. I believe this was planned as part of the global reset. America must be weakened in the world affairs and the door to Afghanistan was opened for China to move in and begin mining operations.

    So the local commanders on the scene decided to say FU to Biden's initial order for our military not to go beyond the airport perimeter. It's called leave no one behind. I applaud the commanders that made that decision! And we still have an unknown number of US citizens stranded behind enemy lines.

    Good news, PTL.


  4. I am just angered, saddened and frustrated. I receive comms from several covert organizations. One that I received yesterday stated that the Taliban are terrorizing the rural villages. The men are being shot and the women and children are given to the troops as prizes. The females are being raped. After twenty years of relative peace, evil has triumphed overnight.

    Then maybe you shouldn't be posting in this thread. The world is a little larger than just 'merica.

    FWIW; I'm no longer an SA citizen, but my remaining contacts there report the situation is mostly under control again, but will take a fair while to repair and recover the damages.

    Thanks for your update.

    When you have to redefine "traitor" so your people do not qualify as traitors - might want to question if you are with the right people.

    I just don't know if I should respond to this. 

    Nah!

    That's hilarious.

    The position of 'your side' 4 years ago was 'You lost. Get over it.'

     

    Somehow it's not super surprising that people who worship the Confederate flag can't accept the idea that Trump lost the election.

    I think we have been taught a very important lesson.

    So, your side can only stand their own perceived "injustice" before they resort to violence and sedition for about three months.  Yet people of color who have suffered unwritten oppression for a few hundred years are expected to just "wait it out" because "times are changing," without engaging in wholly law-abiding peaceful demonstrations demanding equal rights.

    Yeah, sounds about right.  But using your own question then:  how long should they wait?  

     

    The position of "my side" is simply: Hallelujah! Maranatha!

    An interesting point made in a different thread:

     

    Posted be Georgia Don.

    Regardless of what the boss or owner may or may not be willing to do, if the fool has a felony conviction, they can't get a professional license.

    True enough. The subject and my point was about obtaining a job not a profession. A felon is not prohibited from working for a professional. 

    Don't overlook the fact that a felon's wife could obtain the necessary license if needed. That also works for background checks when legally purchasing firearms.

    At least, that is what a client told me.

    Indeed.  An open and frank confrontation between one's illusions and chimeras, and the hard cold reality of the real world, can lead to cognitive dissonance in some people.  For such people, they can often better maintain their own equilibrium by substituting their own fictional narrative, and using that to reinterpret reality in a way that supports their worldview.  That can work - at least for a while.

    It supports individual mental health. Sinners are usually mentally healthy.

    But at least 500 people who were IN the mob will likely remember this day forever; they've been charged for their crimes and will likely see convictions, jail time, and fines - and when they are released, many will be felons, unable to own guns or vote for years.

    And I hear getting a job as a felon is difficult. 

    The more I think about this the more amusing it becomes, at least from the conceptual standpoint. Thus, I have to respond, against my better judgment, just to get it off my brain.

    First, convicted felons can and do own guns. The liberal Democrats have proven that. Second, we are not real sure whether voting is still a viable option.

    One thing is for certain, The conservatives had better start a campaign to register more like-minded voters and stop hoping that the registered voters show up.

    And, lastly, finding a job. These individuals will not likely seek employment from someone who would hold their conviction against them. It would be a plus in the South and the Mid-west.

    I am struck by how "Anti" fascists' tactics are those of the Brown Shirts, and "Anti" racists are every bit as egalitarian as the Klan.

    Any time I encounter an "Anti" organization I suspect conflict of interest (COI) of some sort.

    If, for example, I am an exorcist, my livelihood is dependent upon finding demons, if my job is to uphold Truth, Justice and the American Way I need to find subversion everywhere.

    It is my observation that nobody thinks of themselves as evil.  Heinrich Himmler described himself as a "simple policeman" (no need to thank me, just doing my job...).  It thus strikes me that the current crop of Social Justice Warriors is no better or worse than the rabid ideologues who came before them, all of them fueled by self-righteous zeal.  

    I do not seek to do battle with any of them; quite the contrary, I greatly prefer to stay as far from fanatics of any stripe as I can manage.  The best way to survive a Pogrom is to be somewhere else.  The trick is to know where that is and how to get there.

    Hi Robert,

    A 40 minute short course on How to Incriminate Yourself.

    You can take it Pass/Fail.  ;P

    Without a doubt, we will "remember this day forever."

    I don't know what's next but something is coming. We all feel it.
