    Feminism died with Mandami. It's was canceled by Biden, it died when Mandami was elected.Under Mandami, women are property, so are their children. And if they divorce their husbands, their children are still property under that system.In a trial, under Mandami, women's voices are nothing without their husbands. Unless the husband acknowledges a rape of his wife by another, it never happened. The Vote for Women took a huge step backwards under Mandami. And so did the Democratic Party and the Press which allowed it.

    Ephesians 1:9-10 (King James Version) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Havana on the Hudson has sunk to new lows as they have elected an avowed Communist as their mayor. Mayor elect Mandy has offered the working poor and Karens enough free candy as well as virtue signaling their proving they are not...
  • Is Puerto Rican Independence The Only Way To Prevent Puerto Rican Statehood? (Vanity)

    Self | November 6, 2015 | Self
    With talk of ending the filibuster increasing, it's worth considering the effect that doing so may have on efforts to grant Puerto Rico statehood. The threat of adding two virtually guaranteed Democratic Senators to Congress via Puerto Rican statehood is often given as a reason to oppose the filibuster. On the other side of the argument are those who say that the Democrats will just eliminate the filibuster anyway, next time they come back into power so not doing so now is just a postponement of the inevitable. If ending the filibuster is inevitable, is granting Puerto Rico its independence...

    Ok, so the house members are back in their districts, at least in theory until Nov 17th, due to the house being in recess. The Government has been shutdown for more than a month. SNAP benefits are cut, etc.. lawsuits are flying.. Democrats are daily out there blaming it on Republicans, which is garbage, but that's what they are doing. So, where are the Republicans? Why are they NOT out at the Food Banks and distribution sites? Why is the RNC and the other GOP PACS not donating and redirecting funds to food banks and other things? They are home!...
  • When will be New Yorkers eligible for membership in Victims of Communism Foundation?

    Believe or not, there exists a rather poorly financed Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, devoted to documenting evils of Communism. Not very surprisingly, they do not get too much money, mostly from the real victims. https://victimsofcommunism.org In my mind they should get like 100x more money than BLM ACLU or SPLC. They are actually nonpolitical, some Democrats (Lantos) were members. So "freedom loving" "immigrant concerned" Soros, antifa and ACLU should chip in, but they do not! I am wondering, when will NYC qualify for membership? When will the refugees from Mamdani terror be able to claim a seat at the...

    We apparently are not on a roll with some kind of conservative momentum. Leftist Democrats of the worst kind made inroads into political power yesterday. — NYC elects a radical Muslim. — Virginia threw out all reason and elected radical leftists to the Governorship and Attorney General, who had made violent threats. — Democrats flipped two red seats in MS breaking the Republican supermajority. — in my neck of the woods, Texas senate district 9 is going to a run-off after a DEM bested two Republicans for a plurality of votes. This was surprising as the polling place I revisited...

    With the complete and overwhelming election results for the radical and progressive left, are we now actually seeing the “end times?” Candidates that espoused murdering their opponents, that cheated while in a military academy, a communist with absolutely no experience given control of the largest city in the United States with over 300,000 employees along with initiatives all over the country that allow them to move the entire country to the left. There may not be any coming back from this.
  • If billionaire-backed “Islamo-socialist” Mamdani can’t crush it after showering voters with freebies, then even a win is really a loss.

    If billionaire-backed “Islamo-socialist” Mamdani can’t crush it after showering voters with freebies, then even a win is really a loss. Because when you’ve got unlimited money, media cover, and populist giveaways on your side, anything short of a landslide exposes weakness—not strength. It proves the hype doesn’t match the grassroots.

    Does anybody have any recommendations for restaurant apps that have NOT turned into sick jokes? I say this because I have a bunch of fast food restaurant apps on my cell phone and lately they have all turned HORRIBLE with high prices. Oh, yeah, on the BK app they offer BOGO Whoppers. Sounds good? Right? WRONG! The offer is for IMPOSSIBLE Whoppers which are NOT burgers because they are NOT real meat thus making it IMPOSSIBLE for me to eat.I checked my McD app yesterday and on the Extra Value Meals EVERYTHING was expensive. You can forget about the days...
  • The economic reality of Social Security

    10/29/2025 11:07:04 AM PDT · by reaganator · 67 replies
    First off, I want to be told how I am wrong. For many decades, when there was a surplus to the Social Security contributions this money was moved to the general fund and spent. In place of this spent money are $2.7 trillion of U.S. Treasury Notes in the Social Security Trust Fund Reserve. To redeem these treasury notes that merely represent the spent surplus Social Security contributions new money must be collect from taxpayers or federal deficit spending exercised. The $2.7 trillion of U.S. Treasury Notes cannot be used to demonstrate the solvency of Social Security which is often...

    Those of us who came of age during the Cold War remember such movies as 'Testament' and 'On The Beach', which depicted the aftermath of a full-scale nuclear exchange between the US and USSR. We also remember real-world events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the downing of Flight 007 over Korea in 1983.Are we naive enough to believe that just because the USSR no longer exists, today's Russia no longer possesses a stockpile of 6500+ nuclear warheads and the means to deliver them anywhere on the planet?
