I've never known a Mexican who didn't work hard and seek to improve himself. But that's because I hire tradesmen. Menjivar's the best tree groomer in town, I think. Those guys know their business. They dressed up two shaggy shade trees (trash trees, but good-sized and great microclimate-providers) in my front yard for $700. 6 or 7 guys. Good equipment. The Don told me his truck and bucket lift were all paid for. Showed up at 3 and were done in about an hour-and-a-half. Clean as a whistle when they left.
I think they gave good value and got a fair price. The whole crew sat with me and had a beer, as it was close to 5:00, they'd finished a little early, and I had a fridge full of beer.
3 or 4 ROUGH-lookin' dudes on that crew, I'll tell ya what. But they all knew their business and they hustled.
If there are 2 white guys and 1 Mexican doing landscape, the Mexican gets as much done as the other 2. I think I'd keep up with him, if I were still fit, but that's why I pay people. Speaking of which, I better pay SweetLawn!

"After that attack that happened in Portland two weeks ago, I went to Twitter to express my anger and to spread awareness as to what Antifa is. And the closest I ever got to expressing anything dangerous, was to say that conservative need to arm themselves for self-protection. But I said not to just go out and buy a gun, there’s more to it than that. You need to take classes, you need to understand, respect, and fear that weapon and know the law.
"But it’s sad that this is one of the things that we have to do now because it’s getting that bad. There literally is a group of people going around beating people up because they have different political points of view. And, at some point in time, we have to stand up for ourselves."
And anyone who's honest and did some research knows that the violence in the streets of Berkeley and Portland is far left. They're trying to provoke the right and center-right at every opportunity by starting fights that the right will finish in front of cameras, making their prophecy self-fulfilling. I'm amazed at how restrained the right has been through all this. The media still spin it against them, every time, but there are just too many damn smartphones in citizens' hands to suppress it. That's why Antifa attack reporters and anybody else obviously video-recording their activities.

I dunno. Whites and other colors mixing make some beautiful, smart babies. We're all the same species. It's MORE about getting everyone to understand about their rights and how to protect them, and whatever color, we've been giving them away to the snake-oil peddlers who pretend to have all the answers, to enrich themselves.
It's a culture war. It's an information war. And my side's pretty persuasive, when you see the sweep of history and human progress the way I do, from "first among equals" traditions grafted onto Great Britain by Germanic invaders (The King rules by CONSENT, not Divine Right), to Magna Carta, the Enlightenment, with Locke and Hobbes, Blackstone, Wealth of Nations, Milton Friedman, Dierdre McCloskey...
It's the way people work. It's the way the world works. Limited government is better than the alternatives. Anarchy sucks. But so does authoritarianism. The happy, imperfect medium is LIMITED government. Ours is not.

A Western chauvinist is someone who believes in Western principles of life, liberty and property, won at great cost, over centuries of 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. This as opposed to the rigid, authoritarian, conformist, nationalist-imperialist EASTERN chauvinist principles.
You go to Turkey, they'll tell you all about the peak of the Ottoman Empire. You go to Iran, and they're steeped in their history and the Persian Empire. Chinese? You guessed it. Russian? The same. zerbaijan? Same. India? Same. Pakistan? Same. Afghanistan? Same. Saudi Arabia? Same. Westerners are more skeptical of governments and more interested in how the PEOPLE are doing. In that sense, I, too, am a Western chauvinist.
Of course, this lady works for CNN, so the only thing "chauvinist" she's ever heard of is "male chauvinism." Ignorant reporter. No surprise.

He's a little crazy, soft as butter, hard as nails, and he opened a door between USA and North Korea by seeing Kim Jong Un as a person. I know he was on the right track, because they got rid of Kim Jong Un, and his sister-successor has gone hard-CCP-line. I knew when Trump and he met at the 38th Parallel that we were either going to see good common sense, and the flowering of one Korea, or that Kim Jong Un was not long for this world. Sadly, Kim Jong Un has passed, and I think a great opportunity was lost.
I never followed Rodman all that closely. I hated him when he played against the team I was rooting for, and I loved him when he played FOR my team. Back in the days when the Pistons were making their mark as a low-down, bad-ass, dirty-ass team, led by Isaiah Thomas. The Worm took on the toughest job(s) - defense and rebounding - and just out-played and out-worked everybody else on the court. The energy that guy expended... Freak of Nature. Too bad he didn't have more dunks. But it was more winning to make the opposing team play another 24 seconds of defense, most of the time, in the likely event he got the offensive rebound. A lot of un-remarked scores off the rim of someone else's miss.
Whatever his quirks, he made good friends with a very wide assortment of people, and he came to every situation with no preconceived notions. And at the same time, there was a childlike simplicity. I bet he's heartbroken at the apparent passing of Kim Jong Un. That was a really good thing he did.

Fauci's NIAID funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab. Wuhan lab is the epicenter of the outbreak. Connecting the dots is too much to ask of CNN. So is listening to Dr. Baric, who worked closely with Dr. Zhi, who's gone on the record saying "This looks like how we engineer viruses in gain-of-function research." He did everything he could to dismiss the lab-leak hypothesis, while covering-up his agency's funding of Wuhan lab.
You say there's room for debate, here, and there should be good-faith conversations that include the lab-leak hypothesis. People have been saying this for over a year, and it is outlets like CNN who claimed it was debunked on the word of the very person, Peter Daszak, who was the money conduit to Wuhan lab for gain-of-function research! Follow the money, as they say.
The outlines of this have been very clear for over a year, but you wouldn't know that if you depended on the "Most trusted source in news." gag
People: You really need to get out more. CNN making a straw man out of Sean Hannity, who's a joke, is like Sean Hannity making a straw man out out of Brian Stelter, who is also a joke. Hannity get the facts right more often, but he's impossible to sit through, as is Brian Stelter. They're both highly partisan and cherry-pick their facts to fit the narrative. They make artificial distinctions between each other. He calls CNN far left. CNN calls Hannity far right.
But the fact is they're BOTH creatures of the corporations. Neither of them will ever really cross their corporate advertisers.
This is some of the most dishonest or just plain stupid discussion I've heard since the last time I held my nose to listen to Stelter feed me the Democrat National Committee's narrative.
WHO can't be trusted. China can't be trusted. Neither can any of the "traditional" legacy media, who've been lying to us since FDR was president, and probably before. But FDR pretty much marks the beginning of radio/television mass media, and the illusion of objectivity. The big networks have NEVER crossed a sitting administration's desire to go to war or grow government power, except for Vietnam. And that Vietnam generation, that staged mass protests FOR free speech, now seeks to CENSOR speech, now that they've become the establishment.
But that's another subject. CNN is just one more cog in the manufacture-of-consent machine that's led the American people by the nose for decades. The mask finally slipped when Obama abolished the Fairness Doctrine, and networks were no longer obliged to even PRETEND to be objective.
Ironically, I think that's as it should be. I think Obama just did the math (over 90% Democrats running the big networks), and said "We don't need to hear the other side." But I think it's boomeranged. I think the propaganda was much stronger when they pretended to be objective, but cherry picked and slanted the news in much more subtle ways. Before Obama, the editors did it all in the story selection.
But now, we have active censorship taking place. it's not technically "government censorship." It's more a matter of a government official calling FaceBook and saying "This story is false and I want it taken down." FaceBook is only too happy to oblige.
New revelations about Hunter Biden's laptop. Not a word in "mainstream media," except for maybe FOX. But it's on blackout on all the other networks. When the hounds were getting close to Hunter's pay-for-play in Ukraine, that's when they went after Trump for supposed "quid-pro-quo" over a phone call where he said nothing wrong.
But you wouldn't know about that if all you watched was CNN.

@lynnlynn9124 You speak as though morality rate in healthy people under the age of 70 was 0.02%. You took an unknown drug to fight an illness you had a 99.98% chance of surviving. That's not smart. Mortality rate was well-known before the vaccine came out. Why aren't you as scientific about early treatment, which the establishment prevented, in most cases, when an early treatment kit with a cheap anti-viral spray, a multi-vitamin with extra zinc and D3, etc.
Most cases that ended up in the hospital after the first 3 or 4 weeks, shouldn't have. COVID is treatable, especially if you catch it on the first onset of symptoms with the simplest of nasal sprays. 90% of people lick it right there, before it ever sets into their lungs, which MANY front-line clinicians discovered, and were punished for it. They WANTED ICU's filled with desperately ill patients.
Yes, if you weigh 400 pounds and/or you're approaching 80, taking a chance on an experimental drug makes sense. But don't lock down everybody else because you're in a high-risk category, and that's what happened. Countries who kept their schools open fared much better than the lock-down nations, who crippled their small business to no purpose, unless destruction, itself, was the purpose.

@lynnlynn9124 How do you get past bypassing ALL protocols for the introduction of a new vaccine? Your risk assessment is all upside-down. Heart attacks are up, SIGNIFICANTLY in young people and especially athletes. We won't know the full extent of vaccine harm for years to come, and maybe never, if the data collection and analysis is as dishonest as it has been to date. You KNOW that a lot of people who died WITH COVID were lumped into the died OF COVID pile, speaking of the difference between correlation and causation, which you brought up.
This was a crime against humanity, and one day, humanity will look back and say "Good thing WE'RE not superstitious and prone to stampeding like the primitives of the 21st Century! The people believed whatever the authorities told them and the authorities got it all wrong, over and over again, and they just fell for it, every 50 years or so. Good thing we live de-centralized. Bad as things can get, no one person or group can ruin it for everyone else."

He has a little more credibility than someone who would spin a yarn, but it comes across like he sent some baaaaaaaad e-mails, when he doesn't fire right back with the truth of it: "I did a baaaaad thing" or "I did no such thing." Instead, he wheedles. Makes his "Trump needs Trump guys," which was suspect out of the gate, look totally self-serving.
I generally don't like guys auditioning for top jobs on mainstream media. I feel the same way about seeing Digenova appear on FOX right before his hiring, and take all the correct (Trumpster) partisan stances. But it takes all kinds, and Digenova doesn't mince words. Can't tell for sure how much he's posturing for advancement (which he certainly obtained), or speaking in his authentic voice.
I disagree with Colling, totally on Trump needing or not needing Trumpsters in his cabinet. I think Trump gets more sympathy from most folks for the leaks, and it plays in his favor. If he really were this evil genius everybody's putting out there, he would've clamped down on leaks like a vise. Instead, he welcomes people who DISagree with him, and allows a certain level of unruliness, which I think is smart, even though it offends aristocrats in the Beltway.
I respect the economic advisor resigning over tariffs. And Trump probably does, too. It was clear Cohen wasn't a rubber-stamp, and that's a good thing to see. Stuck to his principles and resigned. Beats the hell out of a yes-man who thwarts you behind the scenes, or worse, feeds the worst of your tendencies. It's a position Trump took in which government is very much intervening in a nationalistic way to preserve a strategic industry.
Yeah, it's fascist. But we're in an environment full of fascist competitors, giving their strategic industries an unfair competitive advantage over our own. That's not a violation of Adam Smith. It's an act of self-defense against fascism, abroad.
The savings our consumers realize for steel and aluminum products by buying Chinese dumpings at a net loss to their economy, but by putting our guys out of business, they can corner the market. We can't have that, because China might not always be Mr. Nice Guy.
