  1. Hi Nigel, Think Germany in 1933. Jerry Baumchen The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller
  2. Hi folks, This deplorable is getting his just desserts: Mr. Bundy’s fleeing and hiding will not deter collection and enforcement of the injunction. Ammon Bundy ‘in hiding’ after losing Idaho home, websites in legal battle with hospital - oregonlive.com He probably can hide for awhile, but the law has very long arms. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi John, IMO Nov 2024 will be the most important election in the history of this nation. What bothers me most is that many people will simply not vote. Thanks for the post; should be read by every American. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Mark, Joe is brighter & sharper than 90% of today's GOP. Jerry Baumchen PS) What do you think Trump would said? Oops, I meant yelled.
  5. Hi Robert, Milk shakes he can understand. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi folks, Looks like the noose is getting tighter: the three-judge panel found that Mr Trump was not acting in an official role when he made the remarks. Court rules Donald Trump can be sued for allegedly inciting Capitol riot (bbc.com) How sweet it is. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi Bill, That is going to be a little tough when it is all that he has. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi folks, This rat is leaving every ship: the Nevada attorney general’s office is investigating the six Nevada activists who met and signed false paperwork saying they were the state’s true electors Trump’s Georgia co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro meeting with investigators in other states | The Hill It's looking like a save yourself effort. I guess those GOP folks do not like the thought of jail/prison. Or, maybe he is just a RINO. Jerry Baumchen

  10. Hi Rich, Whenever I hear something like this, I always wonder: How far back do you want to go? There is usually no response. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi Ian, I think this logo, on the left is from Strong: Jerry Baumchen PS) Now, where will people be able to get a new ParaCommander?
  12. Hi Bill, Thank you; every now & then we need that. All of my thinking life, I have been opposed to censorship. I gave the OP a LIKE because I am tired of the trolling; the consistent trolling by some on here. IMO it is NOT constructive. Jerry Baumchen

  14. Hi Bill, And, after they re-locate, the GOP will continue to try to deny them the right to vote: U.S. court strikes down key path for enforcing voting rights : NPR Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Wendy, I recently watched this on Netrflix: Life on Our Planet - Wikipedia Many yrs ago, I read this: The Life and Death of Planet Earth - Wikipedia In Life on Our Planet, it tells us about the five great mass extinctions that Earth has experienced. After I watched that 8-part series, I was reading some reviews of it. One said that we are now in the middle of the 6th Great Mass Extinction. Everything is in a state of change. * Jerry Baumchen * At 83, I do not buy Lifetime Warranties. PS) I rarely recommend things to other people; but, I do recommend those two links shown, if one is interested in that sort of stuff. As I am.
  16. Hi Robert, I agree that the unions do not like how Musk runs his companies. We had somewhat of a similar situation here in Portland about 15 - 20 yrs ago. At that time, about 90% of all vehicles coming into the west coast of the US, came thru the Port of Portland. The Longshoremen ran the port with an iron fist. For some reasons that I have never known, they decided to take their time in unloading those vehicles; they did Wildcat strikes, Sick-ins, work slowdowns, etc. The shipping companies complained to the Port Authority [ that is who the shipping companies had agreements with ]. The Port Authority shrugged and said that they could do nothing. Within about 3 yrs, almost none of those cars came thru the Port of Portland; they were going to Seattle & Oakland. I am quite sure that the powers that be for the shipping companies are looking at Oslo & Helsinki as Plan B. My allusion to the Luddites is because I am of the opinion that these types of things are really only Feel Good Gestures; they are rarely successful. Time will tell, Jerry Baumchen PS) One result of the Longshoreman's actions were that a lot of their members ended up on unemployment.
  17. Hi Seth, They will win the battle; they will lose the war. IMO EV's are here to stay; until we figure out some other way of getting ourselves around. The Luddites destroyed the weaving machines; the factory owners just bought new ones. Sort of like being a farrier in Detroit in 1910. One can try all they want, but they will not stop progress. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi folks, Shades of 1811: Swedish dockworkers are refusing to unload Teslas at ports in broad boycott move : NPR The Ludd Machine-Breaking Riots Occur : History of Information It did not work for the Luddites and it will not work for these dock workers. Times, they are a'changing. Jerry Baumchen

  22. Hi airdvr, IMO all you did was a Cut-n-Paste. How about some comment/thought on your quote. Totally useless unless you add something. Jerry Baumchen
