  • Wow, what a zinger!

    Horse racing is to evil practices what Israel is to Iran and its proxies. Your focus is once again as sharp as Magoo. Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again. (If you get that reference you are probably kinda old.)

    But apparently that doesn’t include the “sport” of horse racing, which regularly breaks horse’s legs as they are forced to run harder and faster than their legs can safely bear. But, unlike a human with a broken leg, it’s not a matter of putting the leg in a cast and enduring weeks…[Read more]

  • That is fucking horrifying.

    Irresponsibly loved. Each year, approximately 2.7 million pets are euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats) worldwide.

    Unexpectedly, perhaps, PETA runs a so-called “shelter” with an unusually high kill rate.

  • …according to Peter Zeihan, just about every group the Dem leadership (and many of us) thought would shift left, shifted right.

  • I should add more context to what I’m aiming for.

    There’s a guy in Oklahoma who has set some specific requirements regarding how Christianity should be taught in the OK school system. He has pretended to offer options in reading materials, while the only material that can possibly pass his minimum requirements is the Trump Bible.

    I’m imagining…[Read more]

    @Robert

    Getting closer to that all the time. I saw some video of Ohio Nazis today, walking down a busy street with swastika flags, shouting racial obscenities.

    I’ve been seeing shit like that too, it’s really scary. I’m really sad that my intuition about all this was right, I knew Trump was going to be the antichrist 😂

    If they’re pets they are beloved. But if they are not they’re hunnert pahcent exploitable.

    But it is also sometimes wrong and, unlike religion, is willing to say so:

    Neo nazis demonstrating. Much more to come.

    So refreshing. Make America guhreat again. The far right enabled and emboldened. None of this hiding behind the zionist entity, colonialist settlers, genocide, apartheid cloack. Lefty morons the world over with an ersatz rational basis for their hatred. Academics being the seminal provenance of hatred.…[Read more]

  • China has a huge looming upside-down pyramid demographic/real-estate crisis (and will invade Tiawan in a few years just to survive by holding semi-conductor production as leverage), and Russia has both a War and demographic crisis going.

    If India wants to attach itself to that mess, good luck.

    The Russian ruble is exactly worth a US penny this…[Read more]

  • The BRICS countries replacing the US dollar in international trade needs to be getting more attention. I wonder if anyone in the new Administration is giving it any thought?

  • Most of this may be old hat to most of us, so I’m thinking mostly of what young people might be interested in looking into, perhaps even for the first time. Like how science reliably comes up with truly universal facts and explanations that are provable, experimentally reproducible, and aren’t just statements dependent on faith.

  • Am aghast at just how reprehensible the far left is. The linked article is ok and touches on a terrible injustice but is only scratching the surface of the hypocrisy and harm done by the far left. And i keep thinking you can’t make this shit up in a novel and have readers suspend disbelief. Trump and his followers. How in the world is this guy…[Read more]

    My hope is that these policies, and many of his others, will prove so popular that Trump will have to curtail or end them. Why? Because he’s so obsessed with being popular. He’s addicted to polls. As long as he can feed his greed, that may be enough to keep him happy. The big risk there is that he’s already signaling he wants a per…

  • “Do Animals Have the Same Rights as Humans?”
    I say Humans have the same rights as other species.
    Animals do not respect any rights of other species. Why should we?
    [place obligatory cat joke here]
    Dogs accept our authority, so we give them a pass. Some jurisdictions put it into law.
