Hope you have a merry christmas or happy holidays or whatever before 2021 arrives.

I don’t know what 2021 has in store, but I don’t think it’s going to be boring.

Peace. Try the 8values quiz in General Discussion. I’m curious about where it classifies you.

Perhaps I should have said that my extended family, which had missed a big Turkey Day reunion just once before in 50 years, stayed home out of an abundance of caution.

I am descended from settlers. People who migrated long after your own ancestors did, and won their land by right of conquest. We’ll never give it up, either. It’s not politically correct for me to say that, but it is the truth. It is reality.

I won’t be ashamed of my ancestors, either. Go back far enough, and I’m sure you’ll find some of your own…[Read more]

And disposable masks are designed to be used only for a few days at a time and then replaced with another one. Funny, I thought you Nordics were supposed to be more educated than us ignorant Americans, and you don’t know that? Silly me.

And don’t tell me what we Americans think of poverty or disease, Finn. I don’t claim to know how Finns think,…[Read more]

All those vaccines that have been developed would have been impossible without the funding, proffered rewards, and the resources of the federal government. The same is true in other countries, like China. In Vietnam and Cuba, with true socialized medicine, the death rate is exceedingly low.

In Japan and other countries, people simply went along…[Read more]

A true classic, that one. I’ve used it before, once before combat in the Navy. It helped.

I’ve got my bluetooth working right now to stream WNNO, jazz from New Orleans. Good station! If the Air Force or DIA or NSA wants to listen in, I don’t care. No point in being all paranoid about what has already been going on for decades.

Besides, the CIA’s had a file on me since the 70s, and I’m still here. Even got a top secret clearance from…[Read more]

Either you were exposed or you were not. Either you will get it or you will not. Maybe you already had it and are unlikely to get it again, no matter what the panic-lovers say. Fate is inexorable. Relax and enjoy your dog.

Who knows? It’s not as if those voters have any hopes of material gain if Perdue and Loeffler are elected, anymore than they do if that asshole Ossoff wins. The reality is that they have every reason to vote for neither party, just like progressives. It’s a delicious irony that they may boycott the January runoffs because of Trump’s lies yet still…[Read more]

The only identity politics group where Trump’s percentage of the vote dropped compared to 2016 was with white men. Biden also did much better in the suburbs than Hillary did. He also did better, percentage-wise, in many rural areas, so that’s where some of those white male Trump-to-Biden voters were, but there were almost certainly more of them in…[Read more]

Covid is airborne. It doesn’t spread much by touch, and we’ve known that for over six months now, yet there’s still the push for using hand sanitizer like a germaphobe. Is that science or capitalism? For that matter, we weren’t exactly in the habit of masking and social distancing for the flu, so I for one won’t see any need of it once vaccines…[Read more]

We didn’t, of course. Truman accurately referred to Chang Kaishek(I know that’s spelled wrong) as “Cash my check.” If the Nationalists had won and the Communists lost, China would still be China, and would still be a strong economic and military competitor to the American Empire today.

All Pelosi cared about was making Trump look bad when she turned down Mnuchin’s proposal last month. All Biden cares about is making himself look good.

None care about the welfare of the American people.
