09:22 – Barbara just left for Mt. Airy, where she’s meeting her friend Bonnie to walk around the arts/crafts places and have lunch. She should be back by dinner time, but Colin isn’t happy about her leaving him here.
We got a new batch of chemical bags made up for chemistry kits yesterday. Today, I’m building boxes for those chemistry kits, which’ll take our finished goods inventory on those up to about four dozen. Once we finish those, we’ll get to work on making up chemical bags for biology kits and then making those kits up, which’ll again take us to about four dozen in stock. That’ll total about 12 dozen total of all types of kits in stock, which should suffice to get us well into August, based on prior years. But of course we’ll keep building more kits, because after August comes September, which is always another big month.
Email from Jen. Rather than stocking up on millions of tampons for herself and Claire, she decided to give the Diva Cup a try. There are two models of the Diva Cup. Model 1 is for women who are under 30 years old AND have not had a child via vaginal delivery or C-section. Model 2 is for women who are over 30 OR have had a child. So she ordered a Model 2 for herself and a second one for Claire. She pointed out that Angela Paskett (who’s also the author of an excellent food-storage book) has a YouTube video about it that’s worth watching for women who are considering this option.
She and Claire had pretty much the same reaction to the Diva Cup. The first month, they hated it. It was gross and completely different from using disposable tampons. Over the following months, they both decided it wasn’t so bad, and after five or six months they’ve both decided they actually prefer it to tampons. So they ordered spares for each of them and are keeping their remaining stock of tampons on the shelf. Jen recommends it in the appropriate sizes for any household with a girl or woman of menstrual age or one who will soon be of menstrual age.
It’s a sad commentary on the current state of affairs, but I’m kind of surprised that no one has assassinated Donald Trump yet. I’m not sure if there’s a bigger threat from the Clinton camp, whose enemies are known for disappearing or dying in strange ways, or the GOPe/RNC, who hate Trump about as much as the Democrats do. Throw in other groups like BLM and other SJWs and progs, muslim terrorists, Mexican cartels, and just about everyone other than normal people is out to get Trump. I’m in no way a Trump supporter–I consider him nearly as bad as Clinton–but I sure don’t wish him harm. But a lot of people do. If I were he, I’d supplement my SS protection detail with private security that I’d hired and paid for myself. If someone does kill Trump, there’ll be joyous celebrations among the RINOs and neocons, who will then be able to run one of their own against Clinton.
The next four months are likely to be interesting times, in the Chinese proverb sense.
I was told here the other day that if Trump gets elected “…it will be Armageddon.” Whereas I believe the same about the field marshal. Since she gets all her nooz and commentary from the MSM and FaceCrack and I get mine from …..other sources, there is not likely to be a genuine “meeting of the minds” on this topic, and I ended the chat with “….well, they’re both psychopaths…” and that was that.
In any case, or either case, things could get sportier as we get closer to November and thereafter. I would not be surprised if someone took a shot at Trump along the way and I would imagine he’s got other security besides the SS, who for all we know, might step aside or ‘stand down’ for such a shot, since various Fed agencies and departments have apparently been suborned by the current regime. You know, the crazed lone gunman from somewhere; one wonders after a while if they keep a bench of these guys, ready to go.
Mostly sunny so fah; Mrs. OFD off to the horse barn and I’ll be heading down to the vets group early this afternoon and then back up here for the usual chores and errands. My main concerns for prepping remain our well pump situation, stocking up heavier on food and water, and properly securing the front and back doors and ground floor windows. And I’m getting her signed up for pistol classes to start at the range just up the road.
Already had one attempt. If it had been hillarity, it’s all we’d be hearing about. “Horrible violent right wing terrorists who so abhor a hillarity presidency they are willing to commit murder….”
But, hey, it’s only Trump, so we get crickets.

Pence. Last night was the first time I saw him and I’m already sick of his corn-pone persona. He sure likes to “pull faces” as the Brits say. Got a bit of the preacher in his vocal cadence too that comes out when he’s not paying attention. Oh well, better than Fauxcahontas.
nick
Annoying audio continues at the CNN booth. It’s clearly intentional at this point. Any production I ever worked on would have fired the staff by now for that poor quality.
I see that a terrorist attack has been foiled in Sydney. I wonder if the terrorist’s name was mohammed.
“It’s clearly intentional at this point.”
Tinfoil hat conspiracy nut!
“I wonder if the terrorist’s name was mohammed.”
Hater!
“Got a bit of the preacher in his vocal cadence too that comes out when he’s not paying attention.”
He’s apparently not sure what he is; raised Roman Catholic in an Irish-Catholic Democrat family but he got sucked into the “born again” “non-denominational”crowd (Protestants) and now calls himself an “Evangelical Catholic.” Whatever that means.
He appears to be a testy Midwestern neocon who likes to jerk around with “hot-button” issues sometimes but the more I look at the Trump campaign, and now the money contributions begged by his sons, and several other factors, the more I’m thinking his main objective is to detonate the Repub half of the Party once and for all. And then somehow just “throw” the election so that Field Marshal Rodham gets in and we really do get Armageddon and I can tell Mrs. OFD “I told you so.”
If he somehow falls out and the Repubs hurriedly nominate one of their usual loser clowns, Cankles will win in a landslide and get in anyway. So I guess it’s a matter of whether the rulers want a sure thing or are willing to let it play out for a while longer.
Besides my own piddly little home prep worries I’m also concerned that the big financial house of cards worldwide is gonna fall apart over this next fiscal year. And it won’t matter how much fiat currency we run off our presses; it’s likely to be a lot worse than the 2008 mess, which has never really left us.
But hey, I don’t have a BA or a BS in economics so as always YMMV.
Sadly, as the days progress I can only see 4 more years of the same.
Our White Knight is nowhere to be seen and the populace is doing nothing to cultivate one. It’s too late for this round anyway.
Business as usual.
Anyone who thinks Ted Cruz gave a good performance last night is snorting drain cleaner. Our salvation is not going to come from the Evangelical side, in fact their government would be worse than Hitlery. They have their own form of Sharia law.
The politicking is ramping up in at least my corner of WA State. We have a “primary” on August 2. It is one of those stupid top 2 ones where we lose all ability for a true choice. There is also a sales tax increase to fund “improvements” and “expansion” of our convention center and associated facilities. It has a 20-year sunset “IF” the bonds have been repaid. Considering that our sales tax was raised not that many years ago for the same thing (with no fake sunset), passage of this is based on our uninformed voters not realizing that this is a bottomless pit.
If I were you, I think I’d move a bit east to Idaho or Montana. Everyone I know in eastern Washington is a decent person, but western Washington, particularly the coastal areas, is a progressive hellhole. Too bad there’s so large a percentage of the population over near the coast. You guys need a law that says no one who lives within 100 miles of the coast is entitled to vote.
The 5th Circuit Court tells Texas to shove it on voter ID.
The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed previous rulings that the 2011 voter ID law — which stipulates the types of photo identification election officials can and cannot accept at the polls — does not comply with the Voting Rights Act.
Poor people are apparently too stupid to figure out how to get an ID card.
If tRump sticks to what he does best, business deals and finance, he’ll be OK as Prez. He seems to back off a lot on the goofy shit he says and compromises. Canklesore means it when she says the US will become part of the NWO and a turd world country, of course. Imagine Obola X 2 for eight years. tRump is better.
tRump 2016! “At least he carries at all times.”
Kickass Torrents is dead thanks to it’s stupid owner. He used an Apple email for KAT admin issues and a FaceCrack page to promote KAT. The Feds got a subpoena for the records and killed KAT.
As wunnerful as the wrestling promoter and job destroyer might be, once he gets to Mordor and inhales the toxic vapors there, it will be all over. He will have many large debts to settle and MANY “compromises” to make. Elected peeps come and go but the vast Fed bureaucracy lasts forever, world without end, amen. Would he be better than Field Marshal Rodham? Who knows? The point I make to the wife here is that he is not a war criminal yet and so far as we know has not committed any felonies, like treason, for instance. And he has not gotten anyone killed yet, so far as we know. That other creature, however, is guilty of All of the Above. But she doesn’t wanna hear that, so that’s a no-go; in her view Trump is the Anti-Christ. And Cankles is the lesser of two evils; so then I point out that voting for the lesser evil is still voting for EVIL. But that don’t fly, either. Oh well.
And then on the other side I see guys in the gun mags and web sites telling me that if I don’t vote than that’s an automatic vote for Cankles, but we’ve been down that road here before. It’s how they get us to play this game of charades. And most of us fall for it every time; they set up Heckle and Jeckle and then tell us to pick one, just like the old Soviet Union. How they must laugh at us, openly now, too.
“The Feds got a subpoena for the records and killed KAT.”
Well, that sucks. I just got stuff off there a couple of weeks ago, too. What does that leave us, the Pirate’s Bay?
“Poor people are apparently too stupid to figure out how to get an ID card.”
Selective stupidity, they have no trouble coming up with the proper ID when it comes to getting any one of the many gooberment handouts.
Here we have another case of State’s Rights being violated. The case for a war between the federal gooberment and the States becomes greater day by day. Unfortunately too many States have no cajones.
WRT “If I were you, I think I’d move a bit east to Idaho or Montana.”
Those States are not as great as you have been led to believe, maybe at one time, but no longer. Montana has gotten particularly bad, infected with progressive nutters. Idaho is infected with the Aryan Nation and some mooslem enclaves that will soon rival what has happened in Minnesota. So I am stuck between a rock and a hard spot. IMHO, there is no good spot in the USofA anymore, just a choice of bad and worse.
Oh, I suspect KAT will be back up in a day or a week.
Well, that’s actually why I chose the Blue Ridge Mountains in western NC. I still think that’s as good as it gets.
“…now calls himself an “Evangelical Idolator.” Whatever that means.”
There, FTFY… 🙂
“IMHO, there is no good spot in the USofA anymore, just a choice of bad and worse.”
I’m afraid you’re mostly correct. If you move to the rural countryside or to the deep woods on a mountain somewhere, you run the risk of isolating yourself and being a juicy target for whomever. And we know the cities are increasingly nightmarish.
We kinda made our choice here; wife is from north-country NY and I’m a New Englander and my family has been here for nearly 400 years, and the Algonqian ancestors for longer than that, like to the last Ice Age. We’re in a lakeside village that was once a busy “seaport” inside a small town in northern Vermont near the Quebec border. Is it ideal? Heck no; within four miles of the interstate, two miles from an active rail line, and multiple mil-spec and cop agencies in the vicinity. Also only 75 miles from Moh-ree-all.
But we’re SLOWLY building meatspace contacts and connections, like RBT & Co. are doing down in Spahtuh, and even more SLOWLY constructing basic human needs preparations. Maybe we’ll be wiped out immediately by roving bands of crazed zombies from the cities, or outta-control troops looking for clandestine radio sets and firearms, but this is it: we’re leaving here feet-first. Gotta make a stand somewhere, and this county has a chit-load of veterans, too; I got one next door, one across the street and one just up the street. Plus the postmistress, who is still doing Army Reserve activations and deployments in the Sandbox.
“…an “Evangelical Idolator.”
Idolatry can cover a multitude, dude. From praying before statues and pictures and stations of the cross to essentially worshiping “inerrant” Scripture to the exclusion of all else to a total focus on social justice to the exclusion of everything else. Etc. Referring to Roman Catholics as “idolators” smacks of the same old 18th- and 19th-C anti-Catholic bigotry and Nast cartoons.
Dave, if you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.
No no no. It’s not fake temperature data, it’s corrected temperature data. And pay no mind to that man behind the curtain.
re idolatry and such, the official position of the Church of Steve is that anyone who does not worship me is living in a state of sin. But I’m a laid-back kind of deity, so don’t worry about it.
The politicking is ramping up in at least my corner of WA State.
If the education funding standoff isn’t resolved with the election, I don’t doubt that the WA State courts will impose an income tax in 2017.
We moved to Vancouver, WA in 2010 and escaped in 2014. I still don’t know what we were thinking.
If the education funding standoff isn’t resolved with the election, I don’t doubt that the WA State courts will impose an income tax in 2017.
Wow. Wow. Wow. If you did that here in Texas, those judges would need 24×7 protection. And we have serious school funding issues with all of the crimigrants and refugees coming here and ruining our schools.

It does not matter. the USA is being overrun by immigrants, legal and illegal. Our betters have declared it to be so the feddies are bringing them in as fast as they can. Even running planes down to the Honduras and flying them in. My great grandparents who had to scrape every penny together to immigrate here 100+ years ago would be amazed.
Do you Trump supporters actually believe he’d do anything to change that?
Not speaking for the Trump supporters, but I think it’s a better bet that Trump, who says he’ll reduce immigration and deport illegals, will at least try to carry out his promises than that Clinton, who says she wants more immigration, won’t carry out hers.
I think it’s a better bet that no matter which of them is elected, it won’t make any difference. We’ll see more of the same, and accelerating. There are perhaps 10,000 people in this country who have any real effect on what happens, and Trump or Clinton would be just one of that 10,000.
The real problem is that there are another 100 million useful idiots backing their play. The only solution I see is a complete reboot, and that’s going to be messy, particularly for us older folks.
I’ve got my knives, but I’m gonna need a little help here.
Wow. Wow. Wow. If you did that here in Texas, those judges would need 24×7 protection.
Purely in geographical terms, most of WA State is “red”, but the population centers and government-dependent small towns along I-5 provide a increasingly “blue” majority. In close elections, Perkins Coie, “finds ballots in car trunks and church basements”.
As for Texas, have you seen the Dem zombies inhabiting Travis County lately? If Trump does any wall building it should be done around Austin to keep that contagion from spreading.
Bunker Food: Not Just for the Apocalypse Anymore
On the front page of yesterday’s WSJ, no less!
It’s unclear whether Amazon has a unique problem with fraudulent sellers or if they’re simply the whipping boy du jour, although there does seem to have been an increase in complaints ever since Amazon started working more closely with Chinese companies.
“Dave, if you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.”
Well gimme some real HEAT, buddy, not warmed-over Nast cartoons from 1867!
“The only solution I see is a complete reboot, and that’s going to be messy, particularly for us older folks.”
Ditto. We jus gon hab to cowboy up.
“I’ve got my knives, but I’m gonna need a little help here.”
I’m your huckleberry.
Back a couple of hours ago from the vets group meeting; two FNGs, one from my previous Anger and Depression group, an ex-jarhead who lived through the entire Khe Sanh debacle. The other a former Army grunt from Afghanistan, struggling now with a second wife and alcoholism. The jarhead still gets mad when “stupid shitheads” and “bitches” cut him off in traffic and he wants to smash their faces in. So much for that Anger and Depression group, but we’ll work on him. We told the Afghan vet we’ll help him, too; almost all of us are former heavy substance abusers, mostly booze, and we also told him it’s never over, the battle, we meant. Them drinks still look good. And our former Airborne Assault guy from Laos in 1960/61 got a decent bit of med nooz in that he has non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which can be treated nowadays and dealt with. My one fellow AF vet is pretty wacked out and just turned 70 but he will be with you through any kind of shit or hellfire, no matter what, where or when. He goes the extra mile every day for somebody.
Sunny and warm by the bay with a nice breeze; always ten degrees warmer down in Burlap and no effin breeze. Life in the big city.
As a sometimes amazon seller, there are a host of people feeding the maw, including little guys like me that might send a box with 15 random items from yardsales to their fulfillment center. Their requirement is that the item must be unopened and in clean sellable packaging. Since that’s their sourcing, it’s not hard to imagine filling the channel with counterfeits.
Try looking for something like watch repair tools. There are literally thousands of mostly identical items for sale, all crap. If you don’t know any good keywords (like manf names) you have to wade thru that pile of listings. And then there is keyword abuse. “OEM” has become useless because all the chinese clones use “like OEM” in the listing or description.
In many cases Amazon has become just a front end search and payment engine for the vast horde of resellers, counterfeiters, and 2nd sourcers.

Lucky Gunner Lounge had an article today on the Sig P250.
http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/changing-face-first-time-gun-buyer/
It piqued my interest (the last couple of paragraphs describe its intended place in your house), any of you have an opinion/experience?
The real problem is that there are another 100 million useful idiots backing their play. The only solution I see is a complete reboot, and that’s going to be messy, particularly for us older folks.
That reboot is a long way off and will be triggered by the EBT failure of the federal government. At least 10 years away, maybe 20 years. The number of refugees and illegals sucking off the various EBT systems will definitely have something to do with that timing.
The USA government controls the various EBT systems in the USA through the FDIC. They say they don’t but when the FDIC says jump, the bankers will jump high and hard. The USA will force those EBT system to work no matter what. So, the financial failure of the USA is probably two decades off.
I do expect various bank network failures and credit network failures in that 10 to 20 year time period. The FED and the FDIC will patch those systems back into working order after a day or two. Until the day when the world refuses to take dollars anymore. Even then, I think that the USA might keep things going just based on the strength of will.
BTW, today the dollar is a premium product. After all, whose money would you rather have, dollars or a bucket of rubles, reals, pounds, euros, and yuans ? Answer, dollars.
And for a fictional representation of what might have happened in 2008:

Just like ebay. I still buy stuff off ebay occasionally but I am very careful. Amazon is trending that way in a hurry.
Re: financial collapse
All points that I’ve made, but my crystal ball is no better than anyone else’s. You may believe that a catastrophic collapse is decades away, but such things tend to happen very quickly once some unexpected event gets the ball rolling.

Yes, if a Black Swan happens then all bets are off. Such events could be: war between X and Y, war between USA and the World, EMP that frags everything in the USA, viral outbreak that kills 10+% of population (USA or World), space alien invasion, the rapture, etc, etc, etc.
I just believe that a financial failure of the USA with no other events happening is decades off. My single basis for this is that the USA is basically resource complete at this time. Energy, metals, food, water, and plastics are all at least 75% ??? generated within the USA borders and therefore have some elasticity in their demand and pricing before an event is caused by scarcity and then out of bounds pricing.
They keep astounding me with their ability to keep it patched together, but the end is nigh. I think this current run-up in stocks is just one last chance to cash out for the smart money. Anyone who stays in, or even more incomprehensibly gets in, is like the gambler going for his second royal flush. It’s NOT gonna pay off.

I don’t think that Trump is going to be able to generate a profit with the federal budget nor pay down the federal debt. He will have too many people fighting against him, the most significant of these are Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. Without getting rid of the federal debt, the can is just going to be kicked down the road. And if the interest rates ever go up, watch out as the cost of servicing that debt rapidly becomes the number one expense of the feddies.
To me, the majority of Republicans in Congress and the Senate are RINO’s. They want refugees, illegal immigrants, and legal immigrants coming in a four million per year. They want to hand out goodies to their contributors and friends. They want significant regulation of all industry and people’s lives. They want controversy so that their contributors will continue to contribute.
You know, we literally have the best government in the USA that we can buy.
Too broad a question.
For the kitchen, I have a block of decent-but-not-great knives, a pair of cheap santokus which sharpen quickly and easily, and a ceramic santoku which I love. There’s a separate block of cheap knives for my wife and mother-in-law to ruin, as well as three cleavers that they do the majority of their cutting with.
For day-to-day cutting, I mostly use box cutters, with a three-blade jack knife when I need a stiffer blade.
For throat cutting and fighting, which is what I suspect you were asking about, I train with and carry a pair of ba chun do, Chinese-style butterfly swords. (Emph: not “butterfly knives”, which are totally different.) Think large Bowie knife with a knuckle guard and you’re close enough. Come to think of it, what I carry are closer to Bowie knives than to ba chun do because they have points. “Proper” ba chun do were designed by Buddhists to disable opponents by cutting tendons without being particularly lethal — “ba chun do” means “eight-way blade”, where “eight-way” is a Buddhist spiritual concept and not a reference to fighting techniques.
Get your kitchen knives at restaurant supply houses. Cheaper, dishwasher safe.
One Forschner chef’s knife for $24. A quality carving knife that I don’t remember the name of but am too effin lazy to go downstairs to get it. And a Lamson offset serrated bread knife that also slices tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs nicely. That’s the kitchen. And I alternate EDC with several short-bladed folders, which I use a LOT around here.
No fighting knives; I am no longer nimble or fast enough to fuck around with that stuff and will happily blow your shit away if I even think you’re about to come at me with one. Semi-pro tip from an ancient soldier and cop: don’t look at their eyes, watch their hands. And if you’re gonna shoot nowadays, aim for the face.
That is all.
Donald Trump, to paraphrase Forrest Gump, is like a box of chocolates when it comes to policy; you never know what you’re going to get. MIGHT be good, probably not too bad, but it might be a disaster.
With Hillary, we KNOW what we’re going to get, and it will all be TERRIBLE.
I’m not a Trump fan, so I will take Ted Cruz’s advice and vote for whatever candidate that will best support the Constitution. Here in California, I don’t have to worry about my vote for President; if the election in California is so close that my vote might count for anything, then the flyover states will have already put Trump over the top before the polls close here.
Watching the RNC, and Trump is naming names and calling people out for their crimes. He must be pretty confident in his security detail.
I would not be surprised if his motorcade gets hit tonight.
Hilarity, the Saudis, the Chinese, globalist s, trade agreements, immigration, open borders, drugs and gangs, everyone its gonna want a shot at him.

“… everyone its gonna want a shot at him.”
Not if his gig is truly to detonate the Stupid Half of the Party and throw the election to Cankles anyway. And let us remember: there are any number of photos of him and his gorgeous current wife hobnobbing with both Klintons in expensive social settings down in Mordor and Babylon. The usual Murkan memory hole is fully engaged when it comes to chit like this. Fourteen weeks and absolutely anything can happen.
Including more distracting mass shootings, bombings, vehicles running over people, planes crashing into buildings, etc. Tool up, sportsfans:

MrsAtoz just had to bail out of her hotel in San Bernardino. It caught fire from the hotel next to it which is in flames. She and her group jumped in her Caddy Battlewagon and got out of there. They had to leave all there stuff there. The FD is on location hosing it down.
Scratch the hotel next to MrsAtoz. Hers will go up next if the FD can’t control it. Here’s a pic she sent:

Ol’ Trump bought himself a battlecruiser truck that looks like a car a year ago. Weighs 38,000 lbs. You gonna need a TOW to take it out.
Trump knows Hillary. He also knows that she is more vicious than a mongoose. If he lets her go now, she is going to buzzsaw him for the next four years. Nope, Trump is in this for the long haul.
I’ve been in three office buildings on fire over the years. Nothing that looked like that though. Me and my fellow engineers were hauling buns down a stairwell from the 25th floor in Dallas back in 1988. When we met the fire fighters coming up on the 10th floor, they had so much gear that we had to press ourselves against the stairwell wall until they passed. Gotta lot of admiration for a guy carrying 100 lbs of stuff running into a burning building and climbing up dozens of floors.
How ironic that the cobra is more vicious than a mongoose.
Hotel fire in San Berdo might be an improvement.
Hope everyone is safe.
Last time I was down there this was the room we were in
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxLWd_RKNPevU3gwZW94NXIwZzA/view?usp=sharing
MrsAtoz and crew are safe in another hotel. They’ll see if they have anything left to recover from the fire.
Trump alluded to his previous Clinton pandering. He basically said he knows .gov corruption ’cause he’s done it, and therefore he’s the only one to fix it.
He’s a developer on the east coast, he had to grease a lotta palms to do that. Only means he’s a realist, or at worst a hypocrite.

Wow that Gay guy Thiel made a speech at the RNC and social media is going crazy trashing him. The party of hypocrites know as the Dumbocrats really suck ass. If you are LBGTXYZ you can only be a libturd Dumbocrat.
Yup, It’s like the blacks and Colin Powell or Condeleeza Rice, if you are repub, or successful outside of entertainment, you aren’t really black. Uncle Tom is the nicest thing you’ll get called….

All of which is sorta funny when you remember that they’re a smaller minority in this country, significantly so, than the Hispanic population. LGBTXYZ’s a TINY minority, yet both minorities make the most effin noise to the level of drowning out anyone else. And what does the gummint and media and Party do? They fall all over themselves kow-towing and catering to them, at the expense of everyone else, and will punish anyone else who doesn’t like it.
Frankly, more of the rest of the population is getting pretty fed up with this cacophony of complaint.
Today’s bonus question: Who is the character Harriet Beecher Stowe created who was killed because he wouldn’t disclose the location of two runaway slaves who were raped by their master?
Simon Legree?
Harriet Tubman, I think. She had something to do with runaway slaves, and there was a picture of her with a gun so you know she was a Republican NASCAR-watching bitter clinger and should have been killed.
Did any of you notice, Trump called them LGBTQ. I guess that is the new designation. Now I am waiting for the Democrans to start complaining about the “Q“.
My ignorant progressive relatives Facecrack pages are full of negative twists on last night’s speeches. My BIL and one of my cousins and her long-haul truck driving husband are exceptions, but we are keeping quiet for now. You cannot reason with a person who has no reason.
“You cannot reason with a person who has no reason.”
Either they have no reason or they are WILLFULLY ignorant and willfully just gonna hew to their Party lines, fed to them by the MSM. I got the same problem here with certain parties; my four siblings are mainly on board with ME, but not quite as radical, mean and nasty. Or senile, yet.
