Free Republic

I rememeber IVs from glass bottles too.

Well, that’s it, then.
No point in going on.

The way they hype it up, we might as well all die. Seriously, they are full of garbanzo beans, the climate is always changing man or no man. I saw a YouTube video about vanishing English towns on England's Eastern seashore claiming man-made climate change. Actually, IMHO, it seems to be a continuation of change that caused Doggerland to sink like 6000 to 8000 years ago, maybe a little more. Doggerland connected the UK, or what will be to Europe and had we had cars then, you could drive there without taking a ferry or the Chunnel. Doggerland became an island then the North Sea covered it.

Oh Noes!!! WE're going to die!

a border fence won’t stop the problem anymore. anti-aircraft missiles will now be needed (and no, I am NOT advocating anything like that, just observing what a complete screwing the D party machine people have done to America)

Point taken on all things, they come here for the bennies we give them and the Democrats are responsible along with business owners who want to import them for low wages. I know we have problems with born Americans on the dole as welfare queens but at least they are Americans, ill give them that playing Devil's Advocate. Still there are many people who really need help that are overlooked or pushed aside for the immigrants, many who are veterans, mentally ill or just plain down on their luck for sake of a better term

It could get to that necessary point where we might need to use force to protect out borders. IIRC, Poland does authorized the use of deadly force if needed in such situations. Still, in all honesty, the powers that be sold us out and are continuing to do so.

If America is to reform, it means NY city will need to crash

1975 - President Ford to NYC, "Drop Dead!"

This is the predicted result of the Obama- Biden- border czar Harris letting tens of thousands of Arab terrorists into USA (and financing them and giving them homes while many Americans can’t afford them, plus giving them zillions of American workers’ tax dollars to, mostly, just remain idle on welfare — so they can agitate, attack innocent citizens, “demonstrate” by closing down our colleges, bridges, public buildings, highways, and bridges.

Tell me about it, I'm on the front lines in a way. I work with Medicaid insurance taking calls. I get calls from aliens, most likely illegals, a lot of them from the NY City area. A lot of times they think they are entitled if they are denied, the worst are the Haitians. You say no to them, they really go ape on you. Many times I have to get a translator on the line or send them over to Spanish side as the case may be. In t he last few days I had to get a Mandarin, Urdu, Haitian Creole, Nepalese and Burmese interpreters on the line. I feel drained after those calls. There are times even the interpreters can't understand them. Sometimes the callers can't really explain what they want or need and again if the interpreter has a hard time, helping them is just plain SOL.

Some people accuse me of living in the past mentally. I do, I'was born in 1966. I miss the world I grew up then. Yes, we had problems then but we knew who we were then and at least things were much more sane. I'm listening to American Top 40 with Casey Kasem from 1986. I'm an 80's kid, I will always be one. I've been watching a 1982 Zenith TV for 41 years and still going. I know cellphones are part oft his world but at least I can use it to watch old shows I like and love as well as anime.

I had a helluva time with the Burmese caller that is where the interpreter had a hard time. The only thing that I know about Burma is that is where Burmese cats come from. They are beautiful cats, I had one, she was black but in the sun a very dark brown sable. We inherited her from my aunt when she passed. The cat's name was Muffin, miss her a lot, kept her in a good qualify of life with kidney failure for 2 and a half years. RIP Muffin (1987 - 2004)

I want my country back. I don't like or want this "brave new world." LBJ was a jerk when he opened up the gates to immigration. Gotta vote for PResident Trump, we can't let Chief-tess Put Out Spread Eagle (POSE) in there or it will be many moons of a harsh life.

I really don’t see anything improving until citizens are allowed to shoot people who are aggressive. “Hey, he was acting like a jerk, so I shot him.”

Well, it was said that John Wesley Hardin shot a man for snoring too loud. Way to extreme for that case but if there is a threat or perceived threat, people need and should be able to protect themselves. I'd never take the subway, I'd prefer to drive one of my dream cars, a 1977 Pontiac Grand PRix or a 1980 Diesel Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale couple, at least with 2 tons of metal, if threatened, I could send a few dirtbags to their Maker. B-P The cops generally do their jobs, catch and arrest the perps but it is the judges and so forth that release them Natural abhors a vacuum, someone will step in most likely vigilantes.

So you are saying we didn’t get the best and the brightest? Whose fault is that? Someone I used to know as Czar?

Well, I blame the current administration but also I blame LBJ for the 1965 IMmigration Act that started all of this.

I hate to use this word because it was used and abused in the past by various dictators and regimes as an excuse to go after people who they don't like on an irrational bases. It can be a slippery slope. However, these Haitians who do crap like this in a civilized country do not belong here and I have to call it as I see it but the word I would use is, hate to use it but it applies here, "subhuman." I'm an animal lover as well as pro-American and pro-child, but seeing these people kill out children in accidents and other ways as well as go after our pets and animals in out parks, that is an exhibition of subhuman behaviour.

I work in dental insurance for medicaid and when I deal with Haitian callers, they think they are entitled to everything and want us to kiss their behinds. DEspite my take on them, they belong in Haiti, not here, and I place just as much blame on our leaders.

They are an uncivilized band of primitives. They don’t know what cars are for.

I work with medicaid insurance, specifically dental. I get calls from a lot of foreign immigrants about their benefits and Haitians think they are entitled and if they get something denied they act like they are entitled and want me to overturn any denial. I cannot do that and when I tell then that they really go ape, bully and hoot and holler at me. Somalians are the same way too. Recently I'm running into more and more times where I have to bring an interpreter on the line as well. We are becoming a Tower of Babel.

BTW, Harrison Ford was the carpenter who designed and installed Mendes’ recording studio in his LA home.

I think a good idea for a hybrid is to have a gas turbine engine much like an APU in a helicopter for example. It can run on almost any hydrocarbon based fuel and the car can run off the batteries while the APU kicks in and out as needed to charge the batteries up and/or for extra power.

Far Out Space Nuts, love the show!

I did say before the launch of the Starliner where NASA should keep Elon Musk on speed dial and a satchel of money in case if they need to be rescued by a Dragon capsule.

errata - sin should be son.

I also admire Hoover and his sin because they promoted radio and amateur radio com munication.

There are times I get Punk’d when I see stories from The Bee thinking they are true but I wish this one was true.

I often joked that Red Dawn 202X is where the Russians come as liberators. B-P

It is. The Ladybird books, although UK based, they are a good series. i'm an amateur radio operator and they have a good one that was written by one of the biggie amateur radio operators in the Radio Society of Great Britain who is also a reverend. You build an AM radio in steps from a crystal set to one with an amplifier to drive a speaker. It hurts me to see a spoof of the book i posted but it is accurate. You cannot hide the truth. I always had sympathies, same with my father, for the Jack Nicholson Character in A Few Good Men where he yells, "you cannot handle the truth!"

I worked in IT and when you fail to define the problem property, you will never solve it and in the computer field, you get GIGO, Garbage In and Garbage Out. Also in philosophy a Category Error where if you fail to define a problem for what it is and avoid it, you will never reach the solution to solve it.

We have a huge Category Error. If I may use another source, the noted libertarian Robert J. Ringer has two categories of people. The first it a Mr. Magoos where for some reason they cannot see the true problem, out of ignorance or poor education mostly. The only help for these people is unless they have the proverbial "Come to Jesus moment," you can only offer your pity and sorrow.

The second group are the Ostriches. They see the problem but for some reason and too scared to do anything and stick their head in the sand and think they can hide from it. It is like when the Moslem gangs are three blocks away and raising Cain with their monkeyshines. hey see the fires and rapes from the windows and then they draw the drapes and shut the windows. Next the A/C goes on and they turn op the TV to drown out the noise as they pray to God for someone to stop it and hope the gtangs avoid them. They need to realize it and help those who are willing to fight but they don't have the fortitude to do so.

There is a a third group that I will add, pushing these thugs and enabling them to help them fulfill their agenda to establish control. That is basically where The Man is in the UK and most of Europe. They will fail, either when the people rise up or the muzzies get so powerful they go down with the rest of everyone.

Still, as we are Western Civ, we need to quit the GIGO and Category Error and see things as they are. Also, I do not believe in the DEI andall the rest of the crap. There are some cultures that can get along together but there are some who don't and fences, division and use, I dare say it, segregation do better to promote better neighborship or at least keep them far away from each other to reduce the threats.
