Re: happy winter solstice...

Thanks, I enjoyed that. She has a very nice voice and the song isn't Anti-Christian but simply states the cycle of plant life. I like it especially because the church stole those holidays completely and just filed the serial numbers off. Nearly every tradition is based upon the pagan traditions of ...

Re: congressional perking....

Musk dropped a quarter of a billion on Trump's campaign. He also dropped some sum of money somewhat in excess of a small country's GDP to buy the most popular web site in the world, so he would have a guaranteed platform online. At this point, he is president, and all Orange Crush has to do is keep...

Just a quick update for everyone - Plunderer’s done with school for the year on Friday, so we’re talking about starting on things as early as this weekend. I know the holding pattern is a bummer, thanks for sticking around - but I think we’re going to have a really nice new home maybe with some new ...

Re: There's something to this drone thing

You are right. At this moment, every moving light in the sky is a drone, in people's minds anyway. They're the new UFOs. I saw one example on TV that sure looked like a helicopter to me. I'm only interested in the 0.05% that can't be explained. I like how Neil DeGrasse Tyson explained it about UFOs...

And we’ve got a leader with delusions and dementia, and a man for the head of defense that’s a drunk with no experience.

Re: Deny, Defend, Depose

Yeah, I’ve seen so many bad things happening.

My worry is that people are justifiably outraged right now, but Trump will be the master of giving then something shiny to distract them, and the outrage will quickly turn into apathy and they’ll move onto something else, and there won’t be any change.

Other than Caitlyn (aka Bruce Jenner), what did they do to become famous. Andy Warhol once said "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Well, the Kardashians' 15-minutes of fame was over years ago. I always thought the Warhol quote was just bullshit. I sure haven’t ...

It surprises and sickens me how many people are supporting the assassin that murdered the CEO. I agree that the actions of the insurance companies are both horrifying and criminal, but I stand on principle against vigilantism. Period.

I don’t think so either but talking about Canada like that is pretty fucked up. This conversation seems to be continuing starting from a few weeks back, which alarms me. Man our house isn’t very big but maybe we have to grab a larger property with a few more rooms. Hehe. Trump’s trying to bully Tru...
