I think that men and women should be treated as equal in everything except the three female spheres of activity of being pregnant, giving birth and breast feeding. But I think that there are subtle differences in abilities and tendencies between men and women such as a slight tendency for women to be more empathetic than men. Overall, empathy is also a very common quality in men, but my life experience has been to see a little more empathy in women than in men. To me there is an emotional beauty in the way that the Fitzroy footballer pictured in...

One word appears to be universal across languages. That's pretty weird, huh? Go to any country where you don't speak the language, and you will obviously have some trouble communicating. You may have a little help, with languages sharing common roots and similar words, but without background knowledge it's probably time to start pointing, grunting, and apologizing in your own language as best as you can get across. But there's one word that appears to have a "universal" meaning across many different languages. Say it, and you will likely be understood despite language barriers, prompting linguists to investigate further. Word...

One "S". Presler. McCormick for sure owes his win to Scott. Ohtani sent a Ferrari to the wife of the pitcher who convinced her husband to give up #17 for the Dodgers. McCormick needs to gift a Ferrari to Presler.

oe Scarborough loves to describe himself as a conservative. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough boasted at length of his conservatism, describing Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind (first published in 1953) as his philosophical North Star, keeping a copy of it on his desktop throughout his adult life. The show opened with a clip of Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris. Scarborough praised Cheney for it, calling her a "real conservative" in the Kirkian tradition. [snip] So let's do a little thought experiment. What if, by some miracle, Liz Cheney had won the Republican nomination? And if that is too far-fetched, what...

Sometimes one runs into the problem of pipe or hose connectors made of different types of metals needing to be threaded together. This can happen when replacing plumbing in an older home, or, for that matter with garden hoses and fixtures. There are of course various anti-seize products on the market, and I've used Permatex 80078 to good effect on occasion, but, I rather question if it should be used in potable water situations, or even for hoses out to the ol' garden. Oatey "Great Blue" Pipe Joint Compound or Harvey "TFE Paste" work well as pipe joint compounds, but...

Vice President Kamala Harris's ex-lover has a bright idea. Why wait for 2024? Kamala should be president – right now! Former San Francisco mayor and notorious playboy, Willie Brown, 90, who is 31 years Harris's senior and dated her in the 1990s, summoned local reporters for an impromptu news conference on Sunday. Speaking outside John's Grill, where he holds court with the city's political elite, just moments after President Joe Biden's surprise announcement that he'd suspended his campaign, Brown told journalists that the president shouldn't just cede the Democratic nomination to Kamala, but he should make her commander-in-chief immediately. '[Harris's]...

I just got it! Hearing Vance introduced, THEY BOTH HAVE SAME INITIALS! D.J. Trump/ J.D.Vance!

[cut] You couldn’t have predicted this jubilance a few years ago. On January 7, 2021, Trump was an exile of sorts. Then, after the 2022 elections, he was chastised for his role in setting up the GOP’s midterm failure. The conservative movement’s main media pipeline, Fox News, was turning on him. MAGA’s ascendant tech-tycoon class salivated over Ron DeSantis. The party’s national security wing pined for Nikki Haley. But then Trump was indicted and Republicans, including his opponents, rallied around him. And then he won the primary without participating in a single debate. And then he was convicted and his...

Star Trek Ha-ha of the day… Why did Captain Jean-Luc Picard throw out his cup of Eau Grey tea? …….. Because there was a Borg in it. 😁

In September of 2022, a Gun Owners of America (GOA) lawyer provided documents to AmmoLand News showing the FBI targeting so-called “militant violent extremists” (MVEs) by referencing symbols such as the Betsy Ross flag and a symbol of a minute man. This leak led GOA to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents. The FBI initially refused to turn over any documents to the gun rights group, leading GOA to file a lawsuit against the FBI demanding that the Bureau turn over the documents. Instead of the court issuing an order compelling the government to release the...

Georgia United Credit Union recently updated their User Agreement — you know, that wall of text that your financial institution flashes at you from time to time and which few people bother to read. The catch: If you rely on Georgia United Credit Union for your purchasing tool, like, say, a debit card, you may no longer use that to purchase firearms, ammunition, firearms parts, or accessories, along with a host of other items.

The Department of Justice has recommended just six months of prison time for insurrection leader Ray Epps for his actions on January 6, 2021. Ray Epps is one of only a handful of mysterious operatives who directed Trump supporters into the US Capitol that day. The DOJ gave Ray Epps a plea deal because he cooperated with the FBI! ...... Snip...... Greg Price @greg_price11 BREAKING: The DOJ is recommending just six months in jail for Ray Epps, the only J6 defendant caught on camera telling people to go into the Capitol building. They say that they gave him a plea...

Donning a T-shirt with the message “Say NO to child support #ProChoiceMen,” pro-life advocate AJ Hurley trolled the Women’s March on Saturday in Washington, D.C. to expose abortion activists’ hypocrisy. Hurley posed as a male abortion activist at the march, using a megaphone to shout phrases like “Your body, your problem!” and “Keep your womb off my wallet” at the crowd. His stunt was part of Live Action’s new satirical video series #ProChoiceMen. The Women’s March supposedly focuses on rights and protections for women, but Hurley’s protest exposed how its support for abortion does the opposite. According to Live Action,...

Not to worry folks; it'll still be found in a Quad.

Gigantic explosion in Khmelnitskiy may have been semi-nuclear Russians seem to have detonated a major nato/hoho stockpile of DU ammo for the tank guns of the UK Challengers... The prevailing winds in the area are such that there is a real possibility that hohos and brits might have succeeded in poisoning Poland and Germany. Russians were just trying to protect themselves and could in no wise be blamed for any such consequences.

President Donald J. Trump was indicted in Manhattan on Thursday, becoming the first American president, ever, to be charged with a crime. Much has and will be written on the unprecedented indictment of a former president and the powers that be will make certain that Trumps legal woes will remain in the news cycle probably though the election.

December 23, 2022 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called out former President Donald Trump’s dwindling political influence and vowed that the Republican Party will not accept his preferred candidates in 2024. “Here’s what I think has changed: I think the former president’s political clout has diminished,” McConnell told NBC News, taking a shot at the 76-year-old former commander-in-chief. The Senate GOP leader, in the Wednesday interview that was reported Friday, added that (he) will “actively look for quality candidates” for the 2024 primaries
