Regarding Charlie Kirk's murder, I have only this to offer:
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
-- Rudyard Kipling
I agree.
Point of Order, Laz. This isn’t Kipling’s poem. This is someone else’s version. Kipling hated the Huns due to the loss of his son in WWI. His poem, The Beginnings, used the word English. Not Saxon.
If we handle the private funding issue, maybe Trump can handle the public funding issue.
Hemingway went to my high school, Oak Park River Forest High School, although he was much older. A reporter once asked Hemingway to say something about Oak Park, a very liberal village. Hemingway said, “Oak Park is a town of wide streets and narrow minds.”
Cry havoc..let slip the dogs of war.
God Bless you Charlie for your courage and wisdom...resting in Gods arms tonight...
MSM/government will simply anesthetize us once again...not that it takes much.
...our Fathers would be so proud...NOT.
Thanks. It took a minute or two, but the deserving Zotee could be deduced from the thread. No harm done.
I was being facetious; of course they most certainly have in the past.
Yes, I did. It was simply heartbreaking and horrible. He needs to die in the same way!
The real funding issue Trump will need to end is “self funding” via drug money and worse, that the “agencies” seem to have resorted to.
Shot for talking to people.
OK—It’s difficult to tell sometimes with this medium of communication....:)
Greetings Puny Zot! Loving the neutralized mist, kind of like Ozium. Silver lining on a horrible day.
You are a mensch, and this is the absolute appropriate response.
If NOTHING happens then the CORE ISSUE is still the SAME as it's ALWAYS been.
I quote FR Member "Fungi" who yesterday posted this MAGNIFICENT TRUTH!... "Gullibility never seems to end. We are not educated to think critically, only to absorb information."

The left has woken a sleeping giant.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Tyger
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And What shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry
- William Blake
