I graduated high school in 1970 and then went to college and graduated in 1989. We actually learned stuff like Math, English, History, Geography, Science....you know stuff that you can use and helps you to think logically. They weren't about self loathing back then or blame.
They'll never get me to hate my own grandchildren, no matter how many of them come along. I accept life as it happens, fix what I can and don't sweat the rest. Although I'm not Christian, I really like this prayer.
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference."
I wish that more people would live their lives by this.

I've never had a problem posting a link and when I make a claim, I will always try to give references to back it up. No one has to beg me for proof. I don't make claims if I can't prove it and I never, EVER, ask anyone to prove my claim for me. It's MY claim and if I'm going to make it, I'd better be able to back it up. I believe that it's an obligation to do so. For some reason, and I can't figure out why, some people think that making a claim is proof enough. I'm proud to be able to back up a claim. I'm lost on why others don't feel the same way.
So I went to find out about this Beattie guy and lo and behold....he was born FEMALE. He underwent a double mastectomy but retained his reproductive organs but called himself a man. However, biologically he's NOT a man. He was STILL a woman. In fact, if you did a DNA analysis of the guy, the DNA would show him to be a woman.
This "assigned" at birth stuff is just playing at silly Orwellian word games, changing meanings to fit an ideology. Beattie was born a woman, with all the parts that make him a woman. He (I'm calling him that out of courtesy) can call himself anything he wants, convince others to call him that but when the rubber hits the pavement, he's still a woman. Word games don't change reality.
It's no wonder you didn't want to give me a link. I'll do it for you, though. It's not that difficult to do.

They're forcing you to do it California....sweetie. No new gas powered vehicles allowed to be sold by 2035. That includes lawn mowers. Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon,Rhode Island and Washington have also initiated similar bans of gas powered vehicles. So, SWEETIE, if the government bans them, they're forcing you to buy what they want you to buy or go without.
If they're such a big advantage, they shouldn't have to pass laws to get the public to buy them, would they, sweetie.

There will ALWAYS be problems, no matter where you go. That's life. What's important is the overall picture. Best economy, best education, people flocking to live there. People are flooding across the Mexican border, into the US, because of the scope of problems in their home countries. People in the United States are leaving their home states and going to other states for the same reason. Populations in California, New York, New Jersey and a few others are going down because of people and businesses leaving. Populations in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Idaho and others are going up. Logic says it's because the problems are worse in some states than in others. You figure out why that would be.

Estimates for the deaths of the famine, brought on by collectivisation in China, put in motion by Mao, run as high as 55 million. That's in the fifties, NOT WW2. Then there was the cultural revolution that started in the mid sixties and lasted 10 years. Add that to the famines, and it may be as high as 70 million. These are deaths, not due to wars, but to the disastrous policies of the Chairman Mao and his associates. Then there were the disasters of Stalin and Lenin. Once again, not due to WW2, but to the famines caused by collectivisation of farms and the horrors of their police state. These are deaths brought down on their OWN people.
Then the famines of the Soviet Union, brought on by the same communist policies under Lenin and Stalin. Around 5 million in 1923 and maybe as many as 7 million in 1933, including around 3.5 million Ukrainians. Then another 1.7 in the Gulags.
Who knows how many millions have died in North Korea in the 20th century. Another 2 million in the killing fields of Cambodia by the communists there. Around 1 in 4 Cambodians died because of Pol Pots great agrarian society.
These are just the numbers from the main communist powers. We have no idea on the numbers in the Iron Curtain countries of those times, or Cuba, Zimbabwe and other socialist regimes. These are all deaths NOT through foreign invasions or wars. These are deaths caused directly from the policies of the communist governments.
I have references for all of it. All you gotta do is ask.

Haven't you seen any of the school board meetings where parents were reading from books that were recommended reading for primary school children. Some of it so explicit that the school board members told the parents that it was too offensive to read at this meeting, yet those books were in the classroom and school library. Maybe you should see the TikTok videos about the teachers of kindergarten to grade 3, talking about their sexuality, holding pride parades for the little tykes, drag queen story time and more.
Besides, even if none of this was true (which it isn't), why not make sure that teachers don't talk about sexually explicit material to little kids whether it be LGBTQ or STRAIGHT. It's just not necessary.
What's really strange is that Dave Rubin and his husband have been guests of Desantis and he even congratulated them on the adoption of their little babies. Why would a man, who supposedly hates gays, do that? You're the one that so filled with hate that you won't dig deeper into the topic. You WANT the divide. It makes you feel superior somehow that you're better than those "bigots".
Watch "The Quartering" here on YouTube. He's got all kinds of videos showing teachers who brag about how they've come out to their students of a very young age and how good it makes them feel. What kind of narcissism, must a person have, to find validation from 6 year olds? Why would a teacher even talk about their personal life let alone their sexual preferences to little kids? It's just plain weird.

That's funny. I had a guy tell me that Trump is a liar. He lies about everything, he said. "A politician that lies" I said, in return "Say it ain't so!!".
In spite of the rough edges, I sure wish Trump was back. I never felt this uncomfortable when he was president, even during the year of Covid. Now it's inflation, high gas prices, war ramping up, illegals flocking in, trouble on the border with Canada with trucking, supply chain issues, and SPENDING. INSANE SPENDING. Biden has got to go as soon as possible.

First of all, a nation doesn't flourish because someone gave it to them. The people have to work for it and work hard. Instead, the people of Gaza, which is an independent state, used all available cash to dig hundreds of miles of tunnels and bought all the military gear that their money could buy. Explain to me how that helps ANYONE in Gaza, other than the leaders of Hamas and arms dealers from other countries.
Gaza, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, they're all examples of countries that expect success through the largess of others, instead of getting it for themselves. Envy is a powerful drug and it's completely destroyed the people of Palestine.

Transgenderism is a mental condition. That's what a runaway social contagion is. It's the minds of children, going through mental issues, being manipulated. There are some forms of it, due to genetic conditions but this is quite rare. Like my neighbour. His female characteristics started at about a year old. This was in the late fifties. It was so weird to see the kid. He dressed like a boy, his parents insisted on it, and he had a boy's haircut and in 1960 that meant a real short haircut. But when I first saw him, I thought that this was one strange guy. He acted too much like a girl...even more of a girl than my 3 sisters. There was something going on here that was more than just a mental disorder. How did he know to act like a girl at 2? No one did that back then.
This type of dysphoria does happen but it's extremely rare. Like I said, what's happening now is a social contagion, an "interpersonal process, such as imitation, conformity, universality, and mimicry." APA Dictionary of Psychology
That's exactly what's happening. They're introduced to it at a young age, in the schools, and then it's spread through social media. They form a bond that includes imitation and conformity. I don't see why you think that this is some kind of junk science. If it wasn't for the schools, woke parents and social media, no one would even think about this stuff. It's something that was rarely encountered in real life but the socialists have grabbed onto it for their own agenda.
My 16 year old granddaughter claims to be transgender. I looked into it. I've yet to see one woke transgender advocate who isn't a socialist.....not one. They're the ones spreading the contagion so that it's a 4000% increase in England over the last 10 years. That means that if there was 1, just ONE, new transgender sufferer in 2010, there would be 4000 new ones this year. That's impossibly ridiculous even if it was just a singular mental condition. It's MORE than that. It's the spread of an ideology using the strength of social contagions to push them in that direction. These socialists want to break the system down, to destroy it and to do that they need good socialist soldiers. They're doing it by creating a transgender class, CREATING it, as a part of the androgynous class the radical socialists have talked about for over a century. Radical socialism was all creating an androgynous society but they just couldn't get it implemented. This is just another shot at it by the radical socialists.

First of all, Lysenko had no influence on the 1923 famine that killed millions. That happened because government forces took all the crops, including the seeds for next years crops, to feed the army and people living in the cities. So, those millions came as a result of authoritarian over reach and the idea that all products belonged to the state.
Lysenko was starting to gain influence in the early thirties but that had very little to do with Holodomor. This was caused by the collectivisation policies, in which the farms were taken away from the farmers and farm collectives were organised. People were put to work on these farms who had no idea on how to farm. Many others were angry about losing their farms and basically refused to work. Many farmers were displaced and had nowhere to go and nothing to eat. They starved to death because the Socialist government insisted on farming collectives.
Lysenko only made things worse. Yes, it was bad science but no farmer would have followed his ideas because they would know that it didn't work. It was the socialist government that forced it on the collective farms, which caused the crop failures. In fact, anyone that spoke out against Lysenko, would be arrested and sent to the Gulag or worse. It was bad science forced on the people by socialist politicians. Farmers, in a free country, would never have followed his ideas. The only reason that they were followed in the Soviet Union and China is due to the political might of the communist governments.
...and yes, China tried the same methods and those methods were FORCED on those who were supposed to grow the crops. They had no choice and the crops failed miserably. No sensible Chinese farmer would have used the Lysenko methods but the small farms were all gone, replaced by the collectives. The collectives were run by the government who mandated that the collective farms used the Lysenko farming methods.
So, I'll say it again. It was bad science and that bad science was forced on the people by the communist governments. Politics forced it. That's where you've got it all backwards....and wrong.

@SCAR16L
I've been looking for almost an hour and all I got were the same points, written mostly on blogs. Not what I would call great evidence.
Apparently, you have the evidence, from the way that you're talking. If it is being scrubbed, like you're claiming, all that's left is the bad stuff that I've already found. If you want us to believe it, you'll have to show us the evidence that YOU have. I don't make claims unless I have the proof to back up those claims. So far, all I see is no better than gossip. I'd never present this stuff, except with a disclaimer.
Prove it. Don't expect me to prove your point. If there's no evidence, I'll just give up, eventually and that's proves nothing.

I don't even like the term "transgender". It implies choice. Men are born with XY chromosomes and women with XX chromosomes. However there are, and it's rare, people that are born with a different chromosome structure. There are X chromosomes and XXY and XYY and XXXY chromosomes. They are what's called intersex and it's an aberration. Some seem to be normal but have both mental issues (the dysphoria) and physical problems. These are the legitimate gender problems but it's extremely rare. What we're seeing today is no more than a social contagion. I've seen them all my life of different kinds. Some are quite benign, like Beatlemania but others can be quite destructive, like the Satanic pre-school scares, of the eighties, and the modern transgender contagion of today. Transgender clinics in England have reported a 4000% increase in the last 10 years, most of them teenage girls. That's an impossible statistic.
Real dysphoria, which comes from a genetic disorder is very rare and almost always was a male issue. Somehow, they've managed to convince people that this new phenomena has always been with us. It's ideological and has nothing to do with biology. Not like my 4 year old neighbour, who was behaving like a girl, even though just to look at him, you knew that he was a boy. That poor kid had real biological issues. He couldn't help it. He's nothing like these phoneys we see today on TikToc.

@garyjackson3531
I know that they're all genetic conditions. However, sometimes they don't manifest themselves so you'd know right away that there's a problem. That's when the dysphoria can surface and in this case it might be real. I repeat....that's when the dysphoria CAN surface, not WILL surface.
However, dysphoria can also be a mental condition that can be quite serious. The reasons for TRUE dysphoria are unknown. But what does that have to do with what's happening, now? I went through great pains to explain how this was likely a social contagion, brought on by social media, our education system and the medical establishment. That STRONGLY implies that it's induced from the outside and NOT a dysphoria from within. Vulnerable children are told, by their teachers and social media, that they're problems are caused by gender confusion and the way to good mental health is to find out what their REAL gender is. So that's what they do and the pressure placed on them pushes them in the direction towards declaring themselves a different gender. "Oh, look at how brave little Susie is. She even wants to be called Joshua now. Everyone clap for Joshua." And the kid LOVES it. She's finally the centre of attention in a good way. What kid would't fall for it. In fact, it'll encourage other kids to do the same. They want to be brave, too.
I agree that it is a socialist agenda. Mengele was a National Socialist, the ideology of the Nazis. Margaret Sanger was a socialist as well, although she'd never admit to be a National Socialist. Planned Parenthood started long before National Socialism became a thing. National Socialism is just another form of Marxism trimmed down to include only one of the same ethnicity but it's still socialism. In fact, the China of today is the closest thing that we have presently to Nazi Germany and they devolved down from full Marxism down to National Socialism. Guess where a lot of this transgender stuff is being spread among the young? That Chinese media company app called TikTok.
This is a lot deeper than people would think.

Charm.....that should make for a good governor. I know the best people that I work with ALL have charm. Not much food for anything else but they can charm a toad out it's warts. That's SO important.
All I know is that the population is Florida is going up. That doesn't happen when a state is run in a proper manner. They're doing a lot better than California, New York, Oregon, New Jersey.....all of which are losing people. A lot of people are sick of the high prices, taxes, crime, homelessness and the over regulation in those states, especially California. People leave places that they don't like and move to places that they do. That's being demonstrated by the huge influx of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. They're leaving their homes in search of a better life and that's no different than people leaving the states, that I mentioned, and going to states who offer a better future.
So, who cares if DeSantis isn't Mr. Personality. It's the job that he's doing that counts.

@scottfarner5100
My sister crossed into the United States, illegally and when caught she was summarily kicked out of the US and sent back to Canada. She's white, red hair and blue eyes, so this had NOTHING to do with racism. She was told that if she EVER enters the US again, she will not be deported right away but will be sent to jail first. Is this legal? She crossed the border, from Canada and was deported. If this is the policy and doesn't break the law, why aren't they detaining the illegals at the southern border and deporting them back to their own country of origin? Can my sister SUE the American government for preferential treatment?
There are immigration laws the must be followed and crying refugee, without evidence, from countries that are NOT in a war, civil or otherwise, do not fill the requirements for refugee status. If they're not at war or being persecuted by their governments, they don't fill the refugee status. Yet, the government is still allowing them in and by the millions.

@spqrveteran
Every where I went, they were called migrants. Nowhere have I read that they were undergoing a legal immigration process. They came to the border, according to every report that I've seen, and then claimed refugee status. If you have information to the contrary, present it.
So what did DeSantis do? Did he send his henchmen to Texas and place them under arrest? Did he FORCE them on those 2 planes under threat? If so....that's a major crime and all those involved should be facing charges. SERIOUS charges. I'm just curious on how they rounded them up. Maybe you could fill us in on how exactly it was done.
Of course they're human beings. These same "human beings" were forced to sleep under bridges because there were so many of them, that there was no where else to put them, as they were being processed. That was under the Biden watch. He didn't increase border security even though we were in the midst of a pandemic. A lot of American citizens were forced to stay in their homes, lost their jobs due to mandates, yet these migrants were allowed in because the border is so porous.
The inhabitants of Martha's Vineyard aren't the only ones complaining about bused migrants. Mayor Eric Adams, of New York, has been quite vocal in his dismay that 36,000 migrants have been sent to his city. Let's see....a little of 50 migrants sent to a resort for the elites....BIG ruckus. 36,000 sent to New York....oh well. They have to go somewhere. But then, the officials in New York transport them to northern New York and drop them off so they can use the entry point at Roxham Road to enter into Quebec, Canada. These are "human beings".
50 migrants were found in a trailer, DEAD, because they were locked inside. They were human beings too, yet I've heard more about the 50 migrants that were sent to the playground of our elites than I have these unfortunates who died a horrible death at the hands of those who took their money to get them into the United States. I'm seeing some extremely selective outrage, based more on politics than a true empathy for human suffering.

@PamelaByers-on6vt
I'm 72 as well. I've learned that you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar. Also, if you're hesitant to discuss why you believe certain things, my first reaction is that you have no reason to believe as you do. It's easy to sit with your friends and have a big "that's right" party. It's not so easy to sit and discuss ideas and listen to challenges to those beliefs and explain why you believe as you do.
My family suffered greatly under the boot of an invading Nazi military. I spent years trying to understand how people could do the things that the Nazis did. To do that, I read the books by Hitler, his speeches, the works of the top Nazi leaders, the memoirs of ordinary German citizens who were caught up in this thing. These are people who I was diametrically opposed to. It's the only way to understand it.
You have to discuss it, learn about it, to understand it. If you don't, you'll be as blind as the German people were in the Nazi era. I'm NOT calling you a Nazi, but that's how one becomes entrenched in belief systems.....like the organised Church.

@jamesmccarte1609
You need a photo ID to buy cigarettes, booze, pick up a prescription, get a job, rent an apartment, apply for a loan, get a bank account, travel on a plane, get a package from the post office, apply for welfare and food stamps, get a credit card, see an age restricted movie, ....that's just off the top of my head. Are these all discriminatory practices? Who is this person that can't and isn't doing ANY of these things? Every western country has ID requirements to vote. Google "what is required to vote in (name of country)" and you'll always have an "ID requirement" listed at the top. This is a non-issue and worse, it suggests that minorities don't have the mental capacity to get an official ID. An exceptionally poor complaint and I'd be willing to state that it would be difficult to find someone that doesn't already have it. They Bill even states that you can get help acquiring that ID if you don't know how.
They can keep repeating this claim all they want but it's condescending towards minorities and, frankly, untrue.

@jeffreylogiudice823
What if I have a pet amoeba? They split in half to reproduce.
The truth is, in order for advanced forms of life to survive, they need a binary reproductive process. Interbreeding, the joining of near identical genetic material, causes birth defects or inbreeding depression. This greatly inhibits the survivability of advanced species like mammals. Binary sex is at the heart of our ability to survive. Without it, we die.
Worms are NOT an advanced species. Although successful, they haven't advanced, as a species, in over 1/2 a billion years. To advance, as a species, they need to introduce new genetic material every time they reproduce. If they don't do that, they will regress to where they are now.

@kimberlywilliams4800
Did you see his car? The driver's side was banged up pretty badly. Who's going to carjack that piece of junk? I, for one, would, most definitely, not going to start shooting to protect that vehicle, especially if the people get out of a vehicle with police lights, have weapons and are wearing jackets that say police on it.
It doesn't matter if he knows why they pulled him over or not. I've been pulled over and had no idea what the reason was. Once, it was because my truck, a rather unusual vehicle, fit the description of a truck owned by a person wanted for assault. I complied with their demands, gave all the necessary paperwork, answered all their questions and they let me go with an explanation and apology.
All he had to do was comply and he'd be alive today. Instead he resisted and started shooting. HE started shooting. If you don't want to get shot, don't drive around with a gun or start shooting when someone, in a police car, pulls you over. In fact, Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the US. He was breaking the law by just having that gun in his possession.
He was the architect of his own demise.

@johncooper7663
They're using taxpayer money to feed, house, school, provide medical care and transportation to where they want to go, cell phones, clothing and more, for these illegal immigrants. For MILLIONS of them.....and they keep coming. The cost to the taxpayer is in the billions and you're whining about moving 50 migrants on the taxpayer bill??
Are you seriously trying to tell me that a rich neighbourhood, like Martha's Vineyard, can't find jobs for the 30 to 40 migrants who will need them? A place that has a population of almost 18,000 people, who are some of the richest people in the United States? Hell, my small town of 15,000 lost a factory of 150 employees last year and they weren't booted out of town. The little kids don't need jobs before you try to correct me. These rich snobby elites couldn't help them? They're living in mansions, HUGE mansions and they can't help 50 migrants??? Massachusetts calls itself a sanctuary state. Yeah right. Those snobs didn't think that they were coming to their backyards, did they.
They found almost 60 migrants, DEAD, in a shipping container a while ago. I heard more outrage over moving these migrants to Martha's Vineyard, than about the 60 who died that horrible death. Almost 600 dead already this year along the border. This issue is just a pimple on the much bigger problem that the Biden administration has created and is ignoring.
You seem to have extremely selective outrage.

None of that is Desantis's doing. He's allowed people to make a choice. So if you decide to not get the vaccine, and you get Covid and die, that's not Desantis's fault. That was your own decision and doing. The vaccine is available and you CHOSE not to get it. Same as going out. If I'm afraid that I might get Covid, I stay home. If I'm willing to take the risk, that's also my choice and my doing if I get Covid and it kills me. DeSantis isn't forcing you to go out. That's YOUR decision. Now...if he were a tyrant, he would take the choice away from you and tell you to stay home, wear a mask, get vaccinated but he's not doing that. He's leaving it up to the individual.
He actually thinks that you're a big boy and can make decisions for yourself. If you're afraid of Covid, stay home, where a mask when you go out, wash your hands, try to live a healthy life and get vaccinated. No one is stopping you. Do those things and you should be safe.

My daughter got her first vaccine dose. That night she broke into a horrific case of hives. 2 months later, she's STILL getting them, all over her body. This has never happened before. She now wishes that she didn't get the vaccine and her doctor advised against the 2nd one. That's why there are people that don't want the vaccine. I got mine and I don't regret it but I did it on my own choice. NO ONE FORCED ME. I object to being FORCED to do it. I'm a big boy and I can choose to do it or not.
Just because a country has free health care, that doesn't mean that it's a socialist country. It's a social program. It astounds me that people, LIKE YOU, can't understand that. Socialism is where the economy is owned and controlled by the state. GET THAT....the economy. That means production of goods. Those countries that Socialist advocates called socialist, like Denmark and Sweden, are market driven economies. That's CAPITALISM...not socialism. The Danish Prime Minister, Lars Rasmussen, said this, in response to an assertion made by Bernie Sanders. "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."
Before you go and make assertions about economic matters, maybe you should learn what it means or what the term "socialist" refers to.

@ST-ks2es
How can you separate your beliefs from your expertise. A credible belief system must be supported by facts and facts are derived from information which is dispensed by experts. If the experts refuse to answer questions then how are we going to formulate any social standards, a social belief system, that can only be arrived at by using all the facts available. We also have to know exactly where the belief systems of the experts, sitting in front of you, ends and the facts begin. In other words, how has the facts, that they choose to offer or not, affect their beliefs. You cannot separate the two.
In fact, that's what the abortion controversy is all about. One side believes that abortion is wrong. The other side believes that there's nothing wrong with getting an abortion for any reason. It becomes an "Is not/is too" screaming match. So we need to hear the facts and we have to know how their beliefs affect how the facts are presented.
In other words....we need honesty. Refusing to answer all questions honestly, to the best of your ability, leaves us exactly where we started. "Is not/tis too" is not how we should settle disputes on matters of science OR belief systems.

What should Israel do after the brutal attacks last weekend? They intentionally shot and killed over 250 young people attending a music festival. The Palestinians drove up and opened fire on them and then chased them down and either killed them, captured them and even raped some of the women. They took a 20 year old girl, stripped her naked, put her on the tailgate of a small truck and then paraded her along the streets of Gaza, where people people cheered and spit on her. I couldn't tell, from the video, whether she was dead or alive. What was her crime? She was dancing at a music festival. The Palestinians couldn't even know if she was Israeli or not. It made me sick to my stomach.
So what should Israel have done? Tell all Israelis to remain calm and go home? Assure them that the Palestinians will stop the killing if the Israeli people show how peaceful they are? That's insane. The Jews did that in WW2 and look where that got them.
Hamas KNEW that Israel would retaliate and that Palestinian citizens would be killed. They KNEW it and didn't care. They needed martyrs for their cause and, as far as they're concerned, these citizens were heroically giving their lives for their cause...the Hamas cause.
Now, let's hear you defend what Hamas did....FIRST. If Hamas didn't want a fight, they shouldn't have started it.

If Trump's team was contacting Twitter, we should find out what was going on. If they were just complaining about material being censored, that's not a problem. If they were TELLING Twitter what to censor, that's wrong and goes against the Constitution of the United States.
However, none of this has been brought to light to the release of the Twitter files. The pipeline to the FBI has been and its shown that it ALWAYS seemed to favour the Democrats.
The NY Post's website WAS always there. That's not the issue. The issue was that if I wanted to post the specific NY Post article, revealing the Hunter Biden laptop, it was suppressed and the post was quite often taken down. THAT'S the issue. It was a new story that Twitter and Facebook suppressed, so the story would have limited public access. It wasn't an active attempt to ban it across the internet from all platforms, just the suppression of the story on the more popular ones, like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Also, a lot of us are upset about how the last elections were held. Ballots sent out to everyone, with no chain of possession possible. My dad has dementia and received a ballot. I could have filled it in for him and voted for Trump. Is that a good idea? Who would have known? Homeless shelters were getting dozens of ballots, addressed to homeless individuals, who had listed the shelter as their home because they slept there for a couple of nights and were never seen again. The opportunities for election fraud is wide open.
The insistence that forcing IDs to be shown, for voting purposes, is racist is another idea that will bring up suspicions. Until the Democrats commit themselves to solving these issues, like the new elections act in Georgia, elections will be questioned and stuff like what Trump was doing will happen again. The elections were questioned in 2004 and 2016 by Democrats and then again in 2020 by Republicans. It's now being challenged again in Arizona by Republicans. We have to fix this but the Democrats refuse to cooperate.
Questioning the elections isn't just a GOP phenomena. It's being done on both sides and only a biased individual would insist otherwise.

The Fascist system in Italy was different than the one in Spain, which was different than the one in Nazi Germany. Just because it doesn't EXACTLY match the one in China, doesn't mean that it's not a form of Fascism. If the CCP has half interest in business, that it implies that the other half is privately owned. That goes against everything that Marxism or communism stands for.
communism definition: a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
If part ownership of a business is allowed, then it's NOT communism.
Fascism definition: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
The Party and particularly, Xi Jinping, is the leader or dictator, as it were. He's officially the Paramount Leader, the Communist Party Leader, the Head of State and the Commander in Chief. He has a firm hand on his power. China is also VERY nationalistic. Look at the Uighur camps, in which they are being re-educated into learning Chinese, getting away from Islam and then integrating them around China so they can be assimilated into the Chinese culture. Not quite as aggressive as Nazi Germany but definitely leaning that way. From this, I'd say that China is closer to be a Fascist country than a communist one. Marx would NOT approve of what is going on in China, right now.

Being a fetus is just a stage of life of a specific being. A fetus, a baby, a toddler, an adolescent, a teenager, an adult, a senior....all stages of living. I find it weird, that the only stage, in my life that had no value, was when I was a fetus.....and I was a fetus. I was an embryo, too and a fertilised egg. I wasn't all that cute or communicative but that WAS me.
I learned, when I was just a little kid, that if you didn't keep a chicken egg at the right temperature, the little chick inside would DIE. Actually die. A fertilised egg. We had fertilised eggs under a heat lamp and we took extreme steps to care for those eggs because we didn't want those chicks, inside the egg to die. Turning them every few hours and making sure that the temperature didn't vary. Yes.....the fertilised egg, inside that shell would DIE, expire and grow no more.
"Life is the aspect of existence that processes, acts, reacts, evaluates, and evolves through growth (reproduction and metabolism)." Growth and metabolism. From the moment of conception, the new being starts to grow. In your case, it grew until it became the person that you are today. Had that growth been interrupted, at any time, even 2 weeks after conception, you wouldn't be here today.

@scottfarner5100
She crossed 6 years ago and was a Canadian citizen. She went to live with an American in hopes of marriage that she met when he was in Canada. However, none of that matters. Refugee status has to do with those who come from a nation embroiled in wars and are displaced citizens due to the effects of that war. Asylum seekers are those who are faced with imminent threats of torture of persecution in their home countries. There is no WAY that everyone coming across the southern or northern borders, including my sister, meet or met those requirements. They're coming because they're having economic difficulties (they're poor) at home and they know that the current US administration won't question or enforce those asylum requirements.
Also, separating children from the adults that are accompanying them, has NOTHING to do with asylum or refugee status. Having a child with you isn't an automatic indication of lawful refugee or asylum status and has NOTHING to do with those immigration laws. They're either running from wars, torture or persecution at home. If they can't show that they're facing such dangers at home, they can't seek asylum as refugees. That's the law. You can't show up with a child and say that you're a refugee and then say that this proves that you're a refugee or seeking asylum. It's an illogical claim.
It's NOT the questions that determine refugee or asylum status. It's the answers. Can they show the requisite determination for legal immigration status as refugees or asylum seekers or not. That's the question. Rubber stamping requests and letting them come in to disappear into the country is a TERRIBLE policy. Also, if you're from Nicaragua, and you're being persecuted, you go to the nearest country (Honduras) to seek asylum. If they don't allow your case, you go to the next country, Guatemala and do the same. If refused, go to Mexico. There is NO evidence that this is happening. People are coming from all over the world, going to Mexico (not Canada) and then seeking asylum at the US border. They're doing it because the US is seen as a rich country and that's why they want to go there. It's also why, they're not going to Canada and heading south. Canada is already seen as a rich country and no one would come from there to seek asylum, which is why my sister was sent home and threatened with jail if she ever returned.
You don't just claim to be a refugee. You have to prove it and this isn't happening at the southern border.

No, he said the "peacefully and patriotically" phrase shortly after 12:00. He finished his speech at 1:10 just as the rioters started throwing metal poles at security. At 1:45, the rioters surged past security. At 3:13 Trump tweeted asking people to remain peaceful.
Trump was at the Ellipse, close to the White House, when he gave that speech. That's a 1.8 mile walk to the Capitol Building. The "peaceful and patriotic march" would have taken around 40 minutes according to Google Maps and that's on a normal day, not when there were tens of thousands marching. Trump was in the limo "grabbing the steering wheel away from the driver" a nonsensical claim.
Everyone knew that there was going to be a large protest long before that day. Why was there more security in place? People asked for it. Even Trump did.
Another thing, why wasn't there the outrage when BLM rioters threw Molotov cocktail and other projectiles at the White House and security? They even tried to set fire to the Church of the presidents, at the edge of the White House lawn. Trump and family had to go to a secure bunker for their safety. That's sure sounds like an insurrection where the president had to hide from a mob for his own safety. Yet, the media mocked and called him "Bunker Boy". There were fires all over Washington that day. I suppose that's a good insurrection as opposed to the bad one on J6.
I say that BOTH were bad but there's no evidence that Trump planned the riot. It was supposed to be a protest and that's legal in the United States. According to Democrat supporters, burning, looting and attacking police is okay, depending on who does it.
Violence should be called out, EVERY time, not just when it done by people that you don't like.

The left WANTS the productivity to crash. It's how they're remaking the country and eventually the world. Make JUST enough to survive on and no more. If you try to manufacture any more, the superfluous that we wish for but don't need, that will add to the climate crisis. We'll become a nation, a world, that is always living on the edge of poverty, waiting for that natural disaster that will kill us. One hurricane, one ice storm, one drought away from disaster. It's necessary, according to the left, to save the planet.
Sri Lanka is a prime example. They went green and the country is now going through pure hell. Empty shelves, food shortages and over 100% inflation. Is the left, in the west, looking at this and rethinking how they approach climate change? Not a chance. The Netherlands has enacted the same green policies and it appears that Trudeau is about to do the same thing in Canada. If people go hungry and starve or freeze in the winter, that's the price that we, the ordinary citizen, has to pay to have a planet.
