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.
