I want us all to have a wonderful Christmas, so I have some handy tips for a holiday filled with cheer.So, invite your progressive liberal relatives over, and right at the height of the dinner, lay into them with the most profane, obscenity-laced tirade they have ever experienced. Example #1: "Why you little Marxist ##### ## #### ### ### # a #### because #### ### ### door ### #### ## # #### and #### # ### with a donkey ### ##### ## ##### Mexica prison ### ##### ## # # ############# ### # # fatal dose of fentanyl."Example 2: "You...

Hey folks. Someone posted the funniest thing here today. It was a 3 minute long video Cowboy / Western themed, that had the main character talking only in Biden word-salad quotes. Anyone have that bookmarked?

I've noticed a flurry of "TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER" articles and reports in the press lately.I'm a helpful fellow, so I thought I'd write an article for them. They may use it in their entirity.Trump is more of a threat to America than Isis, Jihadists, nuclear war, and deforestation. Trump is more of a threat to America than universal rape, concentration camps, plagues, and pestilance. Trump is more of a threat to America than space alien invasions, Noah-like floods, swarms of locusts, and bad hair-dye jobs. Trump is more of a threat to America than global warming, infanticide, glacial formation,...

An interview with former President Donald Trump's late first wife, where she claims he owned a book of Adolf Hitler's speeches and kept it at his bedside, is resurfacing after Trump said migrants are 'poisoning the blood of our country.' At a recent rally in New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump stood in front of a crowd of Republicans and said illegal immigrants 'poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world.' Although he didn't elaborate on how migrants are 'poisoning' mental institutions and prisons - Trump's words resemble those of Adolf Hitler, who famously used the same phrase in...

An interview with Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Trump, in which she said he received a Nazi salute, resurfaced as the former president faces backlash over his latest immigration remarks. The former president, who remains the front-runner to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and whose anti-immigration policies have been a cornerstone of his political career, has come under fire after claiming immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of the United States during a campaign event in Durham, New Hampshire, on Saturday. "They're poisoning the blood of our country," he said. "They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not...

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday night at a campaign stop in Iowa that he has not read "Mein Kampf," the manifesto written by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Trump made the statement following recent criticism comparing his words over undocumented immigrants to those used by Hitler in the lead-up to World War II. While he distanced himself from the controversial book, Trump doubled down on his previous comments about undocumented immigrants. "They're destroying the blood of our country," Trump said about the waves of migrants who have crossed the border. "They're ruining our country. And it's true they're destroying the...

I spoke to John (Humblegunner) the last two days to see where he was, was he okay, etcetera, and I was absolutely floored to hear how well he's doing! He left FR to attend Divinity School with the intent to pursue a life of Christianity and live in the Love of Our Lord. He had no internet there, or cell phone access, and devoted his time to becoming closer to Jesus and to God. He mentioned he may even become an ordained Minister. His parents sadly passed away, but left him a 200 acre cattle ranch and a stack of...

I asked AI to create some text for me on a particular topic, namely, a thorough treatment of WebAPI protocols and how to reference them. This is what I got. "An unforeseen rendezvous transpired as an explorer traversed the streets. In a quaint alleyway, they graciously signaled for a vehicle on the main road to lead the way. The car heeded their gesture, to their astonishment, veering into the same path. Face-to-face, a grin from the other driver metamorphosed this ordinary moment into a surreal realization; With a touch of whimsy, a connoisseur couldn't resist lauding the captivating allure this...

Leave it to New York to come up with a new plan for governmental overreach. A bill introduced in October and currently in the committee stage in the New York State Assembly would require "criminal history background checks for the purchase of three-dimensional printers capable of creating firearms." Sponsored by Democratic Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar, the bill is rooted in growing fears about the inability to track unlicensed "ghost guns" created by 3-D printers. According to Rajkumar's memorandum on her proposal, 3-D printers "allow people to buy, make, and sell untraceable guns without any background checks." The new legislation will...

Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. secretary of state during the Nixon and Ford administrations who was said to be one of the most influential and controversial foreign policy framers in postwar United States, has died.

Pope Francis has criticized certain conservative factions within the US Catholic Church, stating that they’ve replaced genuine faith with rigid ideology. He emphasized that a proper interpretation of Roman Catholic doctrine permits adaptation and change as time goes on. Pope Francis’ words highlighted the long-standing divisions within the US Catholic Church, which mainly consist of progressive and conservative factions fighting each other. Controversies have often centered around contentious issues like abortion and same-gender marriage.

Agroup of masked neo-Nazis marched through the capital of Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon waving swastikas around, shouting racial slurs at onlookers, and chanting “there will be blood.” About two dozen men wearing red shirts that identified them as members of Blood Tribe—a white supremacist group that has been trying to make a name for itself since 2021 by targeting Jews, people of color, and the LGBTQ community—took part in the march in Madison, according to local reports. Footage from the scene showed them standing in formation to perform a Nazi salute while onlookers mostly mocked them and called them “disgusting.”...

Kamala Harris loves her Venn Diagrams, so I made her one.

Nearly everyone has had the experience of being micromanaged at work, and it is a very oppressive work situation. Micromanagement exhibits lack of trust on the part of your supervisor, reduces productivity, and above all, is highly stressful and counter to human nature. How would you like it if your private life – your day-to-day affairs – were micromanaged? I suspect you would violently balk at the idea. Yet, it is coming. In some parts of the globe, one piece is already in place, that of the Social Credit Score introduced by and managed by the government of China. The...

his winter, New York won't be using electric snow plows. Failure of vehicle tests has caused the local snow removal company to revert to diesel-powered vehicles. The New York Department of Sanitation had three years ago, requested several Mack electric trucks. Primarily intended to clean streets and remove garbage, one of these trucks had been fitted with a snow plow as part of an experiment. This decision was unsurprising since in the "Big Apple", it's standard practice to fit garbage trucks with plows. The experiment was not successful. The plow, dragging across the road and the snow buildup in front...

The Federal Government throws out inflation numbers that don't even have a glancing interaction with reality. Every since they stopped including fuel, housing, and food in the CPI, it in no way reflects day to day existence here on the ground. Remember as a youth, you'd buy a big bag of Doritos for your party and you'd spend 99 cents? Well, I bought a much smaller bag for $4.69. Funions? $5.69. The bagels I'd but at Aldies went from $1.69 for 6 to $3.19 for 5. A bag of navel Oranges now costs $3.69 for 5. Things like Doritos have...

during a speech on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris praised Australia’s strict gun control laws, which include a ban on automatic and semi-automatic firearms and a mandatory buyback program that removed nearly 700,000 privately-owned firearms from circulation in the 1990s. “In our country today, the leading cause of death of American children is gun violence. Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in the United States,” Harris said. “And let us be clear, it does not have to be this way – as our friends in Australia have demonstrated.” Unlike in the U.S., Australian citizens do...
