Two caveats:

1) Do not attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
2) The fact that vultures are picking a carcass clean does not necessarily mean that they were the cause of death.

There is plenty of provable corruption and malice in this world. Let's focus on exposing and bringing to justice these incidents rather than getting lost in spinning new webs of conspiracy. Sticking to provable facts is not just more effective but also bears less risk of loosing our credibility.
Sounds like good advice.

I don't disagree with pretty much anything you're saying. But, I did feel compelled to (rhetorically) question who we'd be "losing our credibility" to ? Liberals ?

I doubt they think we have any credibility as it is. Not that I care. Besides, I don't they they have any credibility, why would I care what they think ?

Now, if you are referring to how "moderates" (whatever/whoever that is) view us, then I can see your point.

BTW, love your number 2) above. :ROFLMAO:

No, Obama wasn’t the start of it all. But he was the start of this latest phase we are living through now.

He just gave them confidence, thats all. The ideological precepts were already there, waiting for a bit of water.

Hey, I'm all for blaming the rotten bastard for a ton of shit, but he isn't the "person" responsible for the current racial shitshow.
The black community were willing rubes. He couldn't invent what wasn't already there.
Half the country is responsible for the current racial shitshow. Whites foment this bullshit, more than blacks do.
Watch that video I posted.

fuck. they were told to shelter in place? they didn't turn on the sirens? they didn't turn on the water? wtf?

 
You really think Obama started all this?


This started long time ago....long long time.

Johnson got the ball rolling pretty well.

It started in 1920 with the 19th amendment.

WTF, why?

Had some bad stuff happen after hurricane Katrina. FEMA and other alphabet soups would take our diesel, food, ice and other supplies. It got so bad that we would run full tankers only after midnight without plackards only on back roads. Felt like we were running moonshine. They even started taking our helicopters. We would land in remote areas and service them there, we couldn’t use an airport. When big brother wants to beat you up and take your candy he will. Nothing new

Alphabets suck on a good day, imagine how bad it is for a libtard Hawaiian government and being a remote island.


Total incompetence, fema took our reefer full of ice that we had contracted and sent him to New Orleans, the next day he shows back up wanting a place to park. When he got to NO they didn’t have any support to handle the ice so they told the driver to just drive around and they would contact him when they were ready( don’t know how they were gonna contact him because there were no cell phones working) so he drove a few hours and found some bad places that weren’t safe so he decided to park at our site. We let him park and he sat for 3 days, his freezer ran out of diesel , the ice melted , he said fuck it and went back north. Total waste of everything and we had to pay for it all. They wouldn’t reimburse us a cent because they said they didn’t use the ice.

When I was teaching, I ran into a serous problems regarding calculators. They rob the student’s brains of the ability to conceptualize math. They can’t see 1+1=2. The problem was, they could not do even the simplest of equations. An equation such as x+1=2, Solve for x. Tried every way including a variety of physical representations. Example: Put a box down then a large plus sign on paper, then a pencil. Next a large equal sign. Finally 2 pencils. Question, how many more pencils would have to be in the box, if I combined them with the pencil showing on the left to equal the two pencils on the right. Blank stares all around.

Now, why should algebra matter, right? Well it matters a lot more than you realize. Ever go into a store to purchase a coke? You used algebra. In your mind, you used an equation, hardly without thinking. The equation, do I have enough money in my pocket to buy the coke. The equation, will the amount of money spent on the coke exceed the amount of money I have? Or current cash - Money to purchase coke => than 0.

We make these determinations every day in our lives. Or at least we should.

Now far too many of us avoid this by using a credit card(s) and running up a massive debt. They keep using new second mortgages or bill consolidated loans until the magic day comes up in court where the Judge relives them of their debt in exchange for now useless credit cards. And as usual. You and I, who have our finances in check, live as close to or above our means as possible, pay the bill because the merchants and other creditors have to charge more to make up for the losses. Credit is not free, but Algebra pays.

Final thought, once while eating lunch, many years ago, we overheard a fellow complaining about his bankruptcy settlement’s requirements. We overheard because he was complaining so loudly it was pretty much impossible to ignore. Oh, all the classes he had to attend, all the things he had to give up. it was such an “injustice” to him. What an ass.

Back when I was teaching children math, liked using a very wonderful set of beads and bead blocks that showed numbers clearly as actual items rather than abstract numbers.

Schools suck ass these days at teaching math because all they care about is making sure the kids come out as zombies doing some answer the way some idiot wanted it worked out and beating them over the head.

When my nephew was in high school, I sat him down one day and showed him on a long vertical chart how you move things up and down decimal places and that's the number and how much you can do with that. It was like something he had never been taught before.

I used to teach math and reading to very young children and never had any that couldn't get it.

I would also suggest however that modern digital clocks and watches are the worst thing for kids.
Learning to tell time the old analog way with a clock face taught their brains so much.

Something I noticed in training guys. We used to use a Thomas Guide map book to get around the city. When GPS units starting becoming more available I saw guys use them and still not know how to get around. I’d tell the to drive to a major intersection and I’d meet them. They’d ask for an address to put into the gps. All they learned was to follow instructions and I guarantee it made them worse problem solvers.

That's a known problem, spatial awareness and directional awareness is something you have to learn and train your brain on and if you stop doing it for some time or never get used to doing it, your brain simply no longer has the pathways to process spatial information.

It's just like how infuriated I get because so many people (including on here) not only have no memory for things but can't even figure out how to search Google for something as they have gotten conditioned to being spoon fed links.

Im on the mid/ older end of millennial. I learned to drive with one of these. Don't remember which edition (42nd ish I think).

You can’t believe how much you have nailed it. Our Fed ex people have two different drivers. One driver will drive right past our mailbox / address with 474 in large numbers and turn left and drive to a neighbor that lives on the other side of the point with the numbers 450 displayed in front of their drive because the GPS says this is 474. So, to get packages, including important ones, either we have to go shopping with the neighbors or the neighbors have to come shopping with us to get the package delivered to 474. Fortunately they take a picture of the delivery so we have clues as to where our packages have been sent.

What is interesting is my GPS unit gets me pretty darned close to 474. So, what satellite their unit is getting data from must obviously be a GLASNOS unit that is defective.

I don't want to offend the Lord of Hosts by pretending to know what He thinks except in His written word. Hopefully, He will forgive me from guesses and theories on His intentions.

With that said, God hates the killing of babies and classifies homosexuality as an "abomination." Mankind's freewill permits the decisions we make but we cannot control the consequences except to avoid decisions that bring about undesirable consequences.

I posted this link about Maui burning sometime ago.


Now let's shift our focus on California and their new laws for 2023 regarding just two of the things that He detests.





Those are a few stories which highlights the decisions that Californians are making. Now let's look at possible consequences.

The state is expected to receive a year's worth of rainfall in 24 hours:



I'm not a seismologist but just out of curiosity found some articles on the theory of heavy rainfall contributing to earthquakes.




So does anyone have a design for a US flag with only 49 stars instead of 50?
 

There was too much personal info in there but given the rumors about who and what he is it probably needed to be said. The music industry would absolutely devour a guy like this and never care as long as they got their money out of him.

This brings up something I have been thinking about a lot lately: if a man would just compromise his morality to fit the opportunity he can make better money than sticking to what is right. This goes for every industry all the way down to tic-Tok videos. Few value the gift of a life rightly lived - it’s better to be wealthy than honest and hard working. If they can’t get rich they just go on government assistance and bitch about how hard it is. This is the world we now live in. We have lost our honor and everything will collapse because of it.

He fell asleep with his head against the window
He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind
This world offers riches and riches will grow wings
I don't take stock in those uncertain things
