Leftism vs Authoritarianism in America, are those the only main characters left playing now?

The 19-1/2 minute video is about Fascism taking down or converting universities into instruments of the state. Side note, “they” now want NPR and PBS to be next on the chopping block.

Big Splash = Tidal Wave

Thanks, Reg!!

Robert, colour me shocked. You mean you don’t want to dance with me after all?

Well thanks Reg, sorry I was late to the party 🙂

Here’s the best layout of a presentation I’ve seen in a long time, especially from a politician. What Trump & Company has is doing must be more corrupt, even openly corrupt than any president in history.

@Reg, if you were considering adding this video to Sunday School, I will (or you can) steer readers to it, below.

@Enco, I’d love to hear your…[Read more]

Antony Hopkins aficionados – there’s a 2007 movie called Fracture, which is brilliant, twisted and showcases Antony’s best talents.  Please watch it, if you haven’t already.

(I have to admit, once again I found myself rooting for the villain)

Enco, loved your explanation of your edits.

As a youngster I had a massive crush on Antony Hopkins, having watched him play Pierre in  a BBC TV series adaptation of War & Peace.

Thanks, Reg!!

Character assassination is trending, alongside digression from the original or most productive topic. It’s a Bannon/Trump political (and aut…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!

Firstly, “Jake spake” is possibly the coolest signoff line I’ve seen 😎.

Regarding wishing we could all see each other as equals, that’s not how humans evolved. We are an instinctive tribal species, and there’s always “the enemy” somewhere to fight. If you’ve got no-one to fight, you’ll lose your fighting people.

You see it in football in Europ…[Read more]

PopeBeanie, Bernie Sanders supported the Soviet Union that created Vladamir Putin and the Putineers, and Bernie still wants their saw-bones health care system for Americans.

One of my best friend’s housing is suddenly at stake now, as he’s a veteran living in the Presidio in San Francisco.

I’m sure everyone’s seen Ezra Klein’s video by now about this administration’s strategy to hit all American’s hard, daily, with news about this or that disruption of government services and entitlement funding. What’s stuck in my…[Read more]

Bernie’s been on top of presenting the right topics in this new Trumpian era:

Is Musk’s behavior obviously oligarchic?

Great link, Reg

Yes Jake, we have a small break to allow the iced rain to plunge down and glaze the snow, so when the snow returns this evening, it will have a nice new platform to settle on.

I’m leaning towards The Shining, Reg
