47 et al CORRUPTION
This was the Tipping Point for me although I really did reach it several several months ago. The volume of corruption of the admin and those its orbit is astounding. Who is “Bitcoin Jesus”? In 2024, billionaire fugitive Roger Ver — nicknamed “Bitcoin Jesus” — was facing federal criminal charges for tax evasion in one of…

USA Authoritarianism
So I was watching something and I got triggered so I decided to do my own research and this is what I found. Now, granted, it doesn’t mean shit to you but for me, able to connect the dots? You better be part of that 35 +\- %. We’re so fucked. And it’s too late, way too late. PS: I literally just looked up, via Google,…

Here's A Beautiful Story, But I don't Know Where It Belongs

Being that today is Memorial Day, it can be moved to it's proper place tomorrow, if necessary, please. The story is about an older man who is both blind and deaf…

The all-purpose heavy duty Climate Chaos thread (sprinkled with hope).
I'm not asking to be bating, or to be right (I wish I were wrong about all this), or put anyone down. I really don't get it. Greta Thunberg asks this questions in this very direct, almost confrontational talk seen here: https://www.ted.com/talks/greta_thunberg_the_disarming_case_to_act_right_now_on_climate?language=en She…

Voting Redistricting or Gerrymandering
I'm sure everyone has heard the news and all the districts looking to change the voting landscape in whomever is in powers' favor. This has been going on forever and nothing new but it is dominating headlines now. Texas had the dems leave so it couldn't happen. Newsome in Cali is doing so too. I would expect more of the…

Family/friends that are Tr*mp supporters?
How many of you have people in your life that support him? I'm guessing I'm not the only one that deplores him but also has people in his life that somehow still support him. How have/did/do you deal with those people? Over the past few years, I have been removing people that support him from my life. Some have been fringe…

JD Vance
Besides being our current vice president, JD Vance is a very interesting man, with a very inspiring story to tell. JD (James David) Vance was born in Ohio, and he certainly did not come from a privileged background. In fact, he grew up in an impoverished and broken family, and he and his sister were raised primarily by…

The rise of China
Saw a report on TV the other night about how China are putting Pacific Island nations like Vanuatu in debt and then building ports there (loan shark tactics). As part of the deal they are also building towers without employing poor locals. Now, this has me worried, they're pretty much setting themselves up to have military…

Abortion-Keep Legal, Yes or No?
I figured since it’s currently a hot topic in the gun thread, I’d start an abortion topic thread. I’ll begin by responding to benjs’ last post in the gun thread: who says a woman is obligated to carry until term? Why shouldn’t that be her decision and hers alone?

Nick Shirley Voter Fraud
Great to see journalism making a comeback. His Somali fraud videos were eye opening and now he's going after Newsome and voting in California. This young independent journalist is eating CNN, MSNBC and Fox News's lunch. Good riddance legacy media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSh1Ey4dLcY

Opioid Addiction in the US, Heroin and Oxys
Here on Long Island the new buzz word is "Opioid Addiction". I've watched this problem grow worse and worse since 1999. In 1999 I was working in Virginia at a place called Pennington Gap and most of the teens and young adults all did pills. They preferred pharmaceuticals than to real drugs. Oxycontin pills were later…
