I want to thank Michelle Obama for having a podcast.
Now the few of us who knew she was a complete non entity politically wont be so lonely.
But most of those people thought Desantis was a good politician too.
There were some people here who insisted that Michelle would be on the ballot. Based on what facts or factors, I don't know.
Stuff like that lowers the averages around here.
Can anyone explain to me why everything the left disagrees with is an existential threat? It's as if they have no knowledge of the definition of the word. If any of their supposed threats had come true humans would no longer exist! They are such freakin idiots it drives me crazy.
"Can anyone explain to me why everything the left disagrees with is an existential threat?"
I'll take a stab at it: they're children.
"It's as if they have no knowledge of the definition of the word."
Remember- you're talking about people who think you need to be a biologist in order to be able to define "woman".
The colors in the pictures seem to me to be getting softer as if the air knew spring was coming along. Maybe it's because the light isn't being reflected from ice and snow and hard frozen ground but from budding trees and snowdrops and mud?
No hummingbirds yet but family down the road a mile had a male at their feeder yesterday…yay.

Look at the leftists on this blog. They are incapable of making an argument based on facts. They have never spoken out against vax mandates, burning and rioting, or any of the violent dangerous behavior that their comrades routinely engage in...
short answer, they are drama queens, and think the world revolves around them. just read any of the 'resistance' posts here at Althouse blog.
Trump announces Boeing the winner of the F-47 6th generation NGAD fighter. The weird part is that the fly off has been happening for 5 years, and other than press releases, nothing has been mentioned about what it looks like, whether it is piloted or not, what it can do, how many there might be. It is more like the F-117 than any other fighter procurement.
Another female predator uncovered. The son in question from the rape of a 15 year old is now 37... But it's in Iceland. Was Iceland's Minister for Children, but resigned when this was uncovered. Didn't, however, resign as a member of parliament. Must be the Icelandic equivalent of a Democrat. Well, almost- she did step down from one post. One thing can be said- she was really ministering to that young man.

F-47 eh? A good number. There's never been a number as good as that. Best and most beautiful ever, I can tell you that. No enemy will ever have a chance against it. I'll bet there are district judges already lining up to write a restraining order against using it on our enemies because it would just be so unfair

This aircraft/platform, equipped with the most sophisticated flight controls and survivability capabilities/materials, will actually be a drone-master platform. This aircraft will not go anywhere near a combat environment without swarms of defensive and offensive drones being driven by the most advanced AI systems in a combined seemingly contradictory fully-autonomous and/or directed manner, depending on scenario.
So much more of course, including full integration into a world wide instantaneous picture of the battlespace from a zillion different platforms...unless someone hacks the whole thing and sends the force to wipe out the local In and Out burger joint.
A snap election is being called in Canada. I hope Trump's big mouth hasn't scuppered Poilievere's chances. But maybe he thinks Carney will be easier to cow into submission.
"Can anyone explain to me why everything the left disagrees with is an existential threat?"
"Never let a crisis go to waste"....and you need to create alot of crises to Cloward-Piven the nation into destruction to construct a marxist "paradise".
Gosh darn it, why cant the left just calm down and be reasonable? I think if we keep begging them, and pleading them, it will work.
Some day.
tcrosse: "A snap election is being called in Canada. I hope Trump's big mouth hasn't scuppered Poilievere's chances. But maybe he thinks Carney will be easier to cow into submission."
Unbelieveable.
Yeah, its all Trump's fault a majority of Canadians, and they are a majority, are lefty idiots and they've imported millions more.
But again, that darn Trump caused Poilievre to screw up his campaign by focusing mostly on Trump and not the liberals who have spent a decade delivering misery.
"Unbelieveable."
No, it's entirely believable. *Everything* is Trump's fault, don't you know?
Poilievre was 20 points ahead in the polls before this 51st state nonsense came up.
As someone pointed out elsewhere, the Conservatives in Canada were headed for a big election win. Then Trump decided to impose tariffs on Canada, and the response was for Canadians to change course and rally around the liberals. Senator Rand Paul is right about tariffs.
I hasten to add that half of Poilievre's lead evaporated when Castreau left the scene and Carney took over.
Harper gave it a good try years ago, but Canada is structurally unable to be conservative enough now though.
Canada is now doomed to bragging heavily every 15 years when something actually works out for them economically.
Canada lives on oil and metals. Primary production, not value added.
Several days ago someone posted a conversation in which the interviewee mentioned this book:
“Willful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West by Sam Cooper. Published in 2021, it investigates alleged infiltration of Canada by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents, organized crime, and economic influence, particularly through the nexus of triads and the CCP’s United Front Work Department. “ (Grok)
Cooper is a Canadian investigative journalist. As a result of this book 2 defamation lawsuits have been filed by 2 Canadian politicians.
It’s very possible that Trump’s 51st state talk is meant to warn off the Chinese.
If you enjoy classical music I recommend you try Venice Classic Radio from Italy. I found it earlier today. I have been listening to it for a few hours. I am really enjoying the music.

Then Trump decided to impose tariffs on Canada, and the response was for Canadians to change course and rally around the liberals.
So apparently, you're more concerned about Canada's elections than what's best for America.
Why it's almost as if you believe Trump imposed those tariffs just to fuck up their elections and nothing else.
Oh no, tomorrow the press will print everywhere that Boeing was given the F47 program to pay them off for making mistakes to the starliner so that Musk could make more money at spacex.
Lutnik,trumps guy, says people on Social Security wouldnt miss a couple of payments and if the ones called and said checks were missing they are fraudsters! What the fuk is a matter with these billionaires. No contact with reality.The other guy Vance says people complaining about Social Security should be working, Dont people work anymore he says.What the fuk is a matter with these people.
LLR-democratical lonejustice: "As someone pointed out elsewhere, the Conservatives in Canada were headed for a big election win.

LOL
Once again, as always, demonstrating conclusively why you are the runt of the LLR-democratical Brigade!
Lem: Jordon Peterson lies. His tallest of tall tales is based on his insistence that Amish do not use cell phones. If you live near an Amish community and routinely do business with these families, you know damn well that they do possess and regularly use smart cell phones.
Gadfly huffs and puffs: with indignation:
Per AI Claude: Peterson is not "lying".
" In general:
Most traditional Old Order Amish prohibit personal ownership and use of cell phones
More progressive groups like New Order Amish may permit limited cell phone use, especially for business purposes
Many Amish businesses have adapted by having a cell phone for work but keeping it in an outbuilding rather than the home
Some communities have "phone shanties" or community phones at the edges of settlements for shared access
Some Amish, particularly younger members and business owners, use basic cell phones (often non-smartphones) for limited communication
Business needs have driven compromise in many communities, with rules like: phones must be turned off at home, no internet access, and no smartphones with cameras or entertainment features
************
So, you fuckwit, he's not completely correct, but he's definitely not "lying". Amish don't use cellphones as WE do, OK?
YOU, always eager to accuse others of Bad Faith, have once again demonstrated your reckless disregard for the facts.
The Progressive Left is cooked.
The hilarious part is all Musk has to do is make this system transparent.
The Progressives are all just corrupt thieves. They produce nothing. Nothing about them is honest.
And they are violent about it.
You shitheads are going to lose. Slink away quietly or go down hard.
Your choice.
Gadfly calling other people liars is silly. Gadfly is the commenter that said after the cargo ship hit the Baltimore Bridge that we needed a way to monitor ships like air traffic. Everyone knew where the ship was the entire time. They were able to evacuate the bridge as much as possible anf shut it down. Yet Gadfly, ignorant as always, made statements on the matter that were irrelevant.
You were doing great, Gadfly, when you decided to take a pause after the election.
As for Jordan Petersen and the Amish of Canada. It is the Amish that said they were fined by the Canadian Government for failing to use an app on a cellphone to verify their covid status when entering the country. Here is "Amish America" explaining the situation: https://amishamerica.com/canada-amish-community-faces-300000-in-covid-fines/
Why lie to us, Gadfly!! Why? Stop it. We know you are doing it. It is too easy to disprove you.
Drago, I sort of understand using a fighter as a sensor, command and control platform for non-permissive environments. But is a fighter the best type of platform for this function? I think people need to read same Dale Brown. The B-21 would be better IMHO.
