B402, Your problem and Winston Marshall's problem is that you and he are supporting the populism described in your article here
Populism can range from persuasive politics to a dangerous agenda that creates internal and external conflict, negates climate change and rejects human rights.
Your link -- https://www.intereconomics.eu/contents/year/2020/number/1/article/populism-root-causes-power-grabbing-and-counter-strategy.html
In a situation we find ourselves in today, when you oppose and vilify moderate democratic politicians as Biden and Pelosi you in fact are supporting the type of populism that Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Hannity and Ted Cruz espouse.
That's the con you, Winston Marshall and Trump et al are trying to pull on the American people.
Oh man.... No words.
Meanwhile trump can barely stay out of jail, President Biden will win easily.
John Tanton, FAIR, another White Spremacist, think he is out of Michigan, with the rest of his racist buddies.
30 years old, WTF?

Two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died suddenly this weekend, the tour announced on Saturday. He was 30 years old.
News of Murray’s death came just one day after the pro golfer withdrew from the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, citing an unspecified illness. The cause of his death was not immediately clear.
“We were devastated to learn—and are heartbroken to share—that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”
Monahan added that the Schwab Challenge would continue to respect the Murray family’s wishes.
“I reached out to Grayson’s parents to offer our deepest condolences, and during that conversation, they asked that we continue with tournament play,” Monahan continued. “They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes.”
Murray skyrocketed to fame as a talented young player in the early 2010s. He earned full status on the PGA Tour in 2016, just a week before his 23rd birthday, and won the Barbasol Championship the next year. In the years that followed, however, Murray bounced between the PGA Tour and the lower-level Korn Ferry Tour before securing his second PGA title at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January 2024.

Murray also struggled with alcohol abuse, depression, and anxiety throughout his career. After his Sony win, he opened up about his alcohol use and about being unprepared for life on tour at such a young age.
“Yes, I would drink during tournament weeks,” Murray said in an interview with the tour in January. “It was my outlet. I thought I was invincible coming out here as a 22-year-old, winning as a rookie, played three days hungover when I won. Best thing and worst thing that ever happened to me was winning my rookie year–but also feeling like I was invincible.”
Murray seemed to be on the upswing after his January win, sharing that he’d been sober since early 2023.
“It took me a long time to get to this point,” he continued. “… I’m a different man now. I would not be in this position right now today if I didn’t put that drink down eight months ago.”
The cicadas have made their way out around here today... They were just a faint whisper for the last week but I guess they decided that this was their time to shine. LOL Me and the fur babies have some collecting to do for work. If this is only the first day, the next month or so should be interesting...
They are both a bit confused because they've never seen them before but we do get normal locusts so the only one the sound is "bugging" is me.
Waaay smarter than the average maga.
He's only 22.

Robert De Niro Calls Out Trump in New Biden Campaign Ad Titled ‘Snapped’
Robert De Niro narrates a new President Joe Biden re-election campaign ad which directly calls out Donald Trump.De Niro: Jason Koerner—Getty Images, Trump: Andrea Renault—Getty Images
You talkin' to MEEE? You talkin' to me you fat orange f'ck? Well I don't see anybody else here.

Actor Robert De Niro lends his voice to a new President Joe Biden re-election campaign ad called “Snapped.”
In the 30-second video, De Niro calls out Donald Trump, referring to him as “out of control” and claiming the former U.S. President will stop at nothing to attain “revenge.”
The Academy-award winning Hollywood actor has spoken out many times against the former President, most recently calling Trump “stupid” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
The video begins with De Niro discussing Trump’s run as President, making references to various controversies. “From midnight tweets to drinking bleach, to tear gassing citizens and staging a photo op, we knew Trump was out of control as President,” the actor remarks.
This narration is paired with pictures of Trump during his presidency, including his notorious photo op with a Bible in front of the Church of the Presidents after deploying federal forces to clear out protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death and subsequent fight against racial injustice.
The human imagination really is something. I hope newmedman is careful around his monkeys:
What is the ape falconer all about? The connection between the ape and birds is already found in ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology. The Arabic collection “Bidpai” contains an account of birds who gave good advice to a monkey who promptly killed them, didn’t follow the advice and, you can imagine. In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen wrote that when an ape sees a bird, he imitates it and tries to fly, and loses his nerve over his lack of success. According to Janson, the monkey was viewed as Lucifer, who fell because he tried to fly higher than his capabilities. It was known that monkeys often dwell in trees and this too was taken as a sign of their desire to fly like a bird. However the monkey symbolizes the physical side and is weighed down to earth as opposed to the spiritual bird in the heavens. The monkey in his rage tried to trap or kill the bird, almost invariably without success. But sometimes he catches him!

I don't follow sports like I used to so you would know better than me. To me it just looked like the Cubbies have a real player there.. Keep letting him blast 'em out into the river until it's his turn to start stroking them out onto Waveland.
If he's flashing the leather then that's a real bonus.
He's only down there because Bellinger is healthy again. He needs at bats, he's already flashed gold glove skills in CF.
to add, I don't want to see less fortunate families have to send their kids to school with empty stomachs, and I certainly don't want the kids to go through the day without lunch.
Watching your dear old GOP turn down help in the form of SNAP and school lunch programs is just disgusting to me. You all would rather see the less fortunate suffer than to actually lend a hand.
It's heartless.. like you connie.
G'day fellow traveler. Is struggling to be light at 6:20am, and a too cool 53 here now.

Wasn't/isn't on Australian Netflix, but as of this moment i have Rather by VPNing in San Francisco. Haven't watched any yet. Last time i tried using VPN Netflix it didn't work for long. Fingers crossed. Thanks.
brooklyn13, Now you have stooped to talking to us as if you are talking to the worst of Hamas terrorists. Will you never understand with us it's about stopping the excess. Your support of that excessive brutality, and your lack of support of a world based on the rule of law at least lets us know exactly where you stand. And you have made it clear you support a principle of collective punishment. Ok, we know.
I have to apologize.. I didn't know how screwed up your primary process is.. I just assumed that everything was like we do it here. If an initiative hits the ballot, then everyone gets a vote. It isn't some sort of partisan Q&A game.

As far as living wages go, my opinion wouldn't matter. I live in an area that requires a lot more money to stay in, as opposed to Bumblefuck, USA.. I just want everyone to make a living wage and not be exploited by their employers.
Those pesky unions keep pissing you off too, don't they?
That's a gutsy young lad right there.. Didn't even give it another pitch to see if he was going to get done dirty again. What a moonshot.
If stuff like that doesn't get you to the "show" then nothing will.
I'm at home all weekend like I usually am these days, but to all of you that are going out and about, please remember what this holiday is for and what it means. Solidiers, public agency employees and contractors alike have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great nation.. Always remember them.
Israel's Response to ICJ Order to Halt Rafah Assault? More Bombing
"What needs to be ordered is a permanent cease-fire and an end to the siege and occupation," said a Palestinian forced to flee Gaza.
Civilians and journalists in the southern Gaza Strip reported Friday that Israel responded to an order by the International Court of Justice to halt military operations in Rafah by instead ramping up its assault on the southern city and elsewhere in the besieged enclave as the nation's political leaders condemned the ICJ ruling.
Al Jazeera Arabicposted on social media that Israeli warplanes launched violent raids on Rafah—from which over 900,000 Palestinians have recently fled due to the ongoing assault, according to the United Nations.
"Just a few minutes after the ICJ ordered the criminal Israeli army to halt its Rafah offensive, now more and more airstrikes on houses in the middle of Rafah," said Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha, who was able to escape to Cairo with his family. "What needs to be ordered is a permanent cease-fire and an end to the siege and occupation."
Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor chief of communications Muhammad Shehada noted that "Israeli media is gloating that Israel's response to the ICJ order to halt its Rafah offensive is a series of unusual 'belt of fire' attacks in the heart of Rafah," explaining that the term means "indiscriminately bombing an area with a huge amount of simultaneous airstrikes."
There were also reports of Israeli strikes in other parts of the Palestinian territory including Gaza City and the Jabalia refugee camp.
Just after the ICJ ruling, Yousef Munayyer, a Palestinian American political analyst, offered what turned out to be an accurate prediction: "We already know what Israel's response will be: We won't listen to anyone, anyone who tries to make us stop our genocide is an antisemite, a terrorist, or both. Even having to stop killing Palestinians long enough to respond to this is the Holocaust all over again."
While the Israeli military bombed Rafah and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency meeting with key ministers, leading political figures in the country forcefully rejected the U.N. court's latest order—part of a broader South Africa-led genocide case against Israel, which has so far killed at least 35,857 Palestinians and wounded another 80,293, according to Gaza officials.
In a lengthy joint statement, Tzachi Hanegbi, who heads the Israeli National Security Council, and a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson called the genocide charges "false, outrageous, and morally repugnant," and insisted that Israel is complying with international law while waging a "defensive and just war to eliminate Hamas and to secure the release of our hostages."
"Israel has not and will not conduct military actions in the Rafah area which may inflict on the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part," they said. "Israel will continue its efforts to enable humanitarian assistance and will act, in full compliance with the law, to reduce as much as possible harm caused to the civilian population in Gaza."
While the statement added that "Israel will continue to enable the Rafah crossing to remain open for the entry of humanitarian assistance from the Egyptian side of the border, and will prevent terror groups from controlling the passage," Al Jazeeracited U.N. data showing that since Israel took control of that site earlier this month, no trucks have entered there.

Al Jazeeraalso reported that Benny Gantz, the Israel Defense Forces' former chief of the general staff and part of the War Cabinet with Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, similarly claimed after the order Friday that that his country "set out on a just and necessary campaign" after October 7 attack.
"The state of Israel is committed to continue fighting to return its hostages and promise the security of its citizens—wherever and whenever necessary—including in Rafah," Gantz added. "We will continue operating in accordance with international law wherever we might operate while safeguarding to the best extent possible the civilian population—not because of the ICJ but because of who we are and the values we stand for."
According toThe Jerusalem Post, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that "the irrelevant order of the antisemitic court in The Hague should have only one answer: the occupation of Rafah, the increase of military pressure, and the complete destruction of Hamas—until the complete victory in the war is achieved."
Quoting the late David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, Ben-Gvir also wrote on social media, "Our future does not depend on what the gentiles will say, but on what the Jews will do."
The Times of Israel highlighted remarks from some other right-wing officials:
Had this "antisemitic court" been active during the Holocaust, "it would undoubtedly have issued orders against the Allies," declares Negev, Galilee, and National Resilience Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, who is in Ben-Gvir's party.
"Those who demand that the state of Israel stop the war, demand that it decree the cessation of its existence—we will not agree to that," argues Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. "We will continue to fight for ourselves and for the entire free world. History will judge who today stood by the Nazis of Hamas and ISIS."
Meanwhile, the Jerusalem-based human rights group B'Tselem on Friday noted that ICJ order follows the International Criminal Court's prosecutor seeking warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, asserted that "violence and disregard for human life are keystones of the Israeli apartheid regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea," and called for Israel to "immediately halt its military activity" in Gaza.
"With Israeli government displaying blatant disregard for human life—of Palestinians and of the Israeli hostages—we, the citizens of Israel, must open our eyes. We must listen to the clear call from around the world: The violence, destruction and killing must stop now," the group said. "If it continues to ignore the catastrophic reality on the ground and shirk its duty to protect human life, Israel will inevitably incur harsher international intervention."
Around the world, critics of the bloodshed pointed to the ICJ order as the latest proof that supporters of Israel—including and especially U.S. President Joe Biden—should immediately cut off weapons and apply diplomatic pressure to end the war, possibly through the U.N. Security Council, where the United States has veto power.
"The Israeli government is already thumbing its nose at the International Court of Justice with airstrikes on Rafah," former Human Rights Watch chief Kenneth Roth said as the bombing continued Friday. "Is there anything that Netanyahu could do that might finally get Biden to take action—stopping arms or allowing Security Council action?"

Trump keeps losing with each passing day.
I can understand you wanting to defend your country and your president over there, but your utter disrespect and hatred and consistent berating for anyone not supporting your views and your insistence in supporting your presidents open genocide and the belief that he has a right to do so is beyond all reasonable attempts in allowing open discussion with you has it's limits.
You've been beyond the limits for a long long time.
I think you should move there and join your presidents cabinet. Why should you live here in relative safety and disparage everyone on a chat board when you can live there for the reality.
You make the case that only war is the answer, live with what you preach each day.
It's not that anymore hates Israel, it's just that Netanyahu enjoys destroying Gaza, and if 1000s of children are slaughtered he couldn't care less. Like you stated it's fine to kill, as long as you can justify it. Maybe that's why Hamas wants to destroy Israel, so like you stated they feel justified, so let this war continue forever. You just justified this is the answer, wars forever.
What a piece of fucking greedy shit mush of 'x' is. In the last two days he's totally blocked the use of peoples tracking stoppers or pop up blockers and browsers enhanced tracking protections. Go to any of 'x' links now with enhanced tracking block on and 'x' shows a big page telling you that the site won't work if you have your protection turned on.
I get these sites want to sync you and all that ad bullshit tracking, but to now totally to block peoples browsers that have built in filters that actually still let in certain ads just so the site doesn't break. What mush is doing is ludicrous. He is absolutely forcing people to accept his total tracking. And if anyone didn't know, all the big social sites track you when you're not even logged in to their site.
Massa treating you well, Uncle Tom? Maybe if Israel got with some napalm, you’d be cool with that. You’re the actual genocidal scum, you served in the military of a country that bombed and invaded neutral countries, that made this war seem like a lark, amirite? That stain won’t wash off
Japan killed like 2K people at Pearl Harbor and we killed like 500K in response., if you don’t want a fucking war, don’t start a fucking war
It’s really, really odd that you don’t consider Iran and its proxies to be genocidal scum . That you’re so blind with hatred for Israel. So stupid, you don’t make the case to be taken seriously
In case anyone was confused about where your loyalties lie.
"Get used to it"?
I just want to stop paying for you genocidal scum.
Sigh, More of the pot calling the kettle black........ Dems found their own ways around a living and minimum wage,,,,,,got those pesky benefits and environmental standards at the same time.
Brilliant move I must say....And anyone that disagrees with your brilliance is a bigot, ah yes.......

Why don't you answer the question for what a US citizen should earn per hour to be considered being properly paid, fuagf?
What? You're changing the subject. The question was: What is an appropriate minimum wage. Obviously, what a "US citizen" or anyone else may be paid depends on his or her skills, the kind of work involved, and much more.
Why on earth should anyone have to cut and paste a link? Why are you unable to post a live one? Most of us figured out how to do that 30 years ago.
I would be willing to give you a private tutorial, if you like. Probably others here would be happy to do the same.
America was already thriving in 1924. And if anyone wants to know more about the Immigration Act of 1924, see here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924
And contrary to what you claim:
The act had negative economic effects. Economists have argued that both innovation and employment were negatively affected by the restrictions. In a 2020 paper, the economists Petra Moser and Shmuel San demonstrated that the drastic reduction in immigration from Eastern and Southern European scientists led to fewer new patents, not only from immigrants but also from native-born scientists working in their fields.[56] Even the mass migration of unskilled workers had been a spur to innovation, according to a paper by Kirk Doran and Chungeun Yoon, who found "using variation induced by 1920s quotas, which ended history's largest international migration" that "inventors in cities and industries exposed to fewer low-skilled immigrants applied for fewer patents."[57] Nor did US-born workers benefit, according to a 2023 study in the American Economic Journal. Farming, a sector of the economy highly reliant on migrant labor, shifted towards more capital-intensive forms of agriculture, whereas the mining industry, another immigrant-reliant industry, contracted.[58]
Again, read the Wikipedia article, which is only a starting point for anyone actually interested in all this.

WTF?? No sane person believes any of that.
Have you been "doing research" at YouTube?
Sure. Of course overpaid Republican executives don't want to pay overtime to their underlings. What would you expect?
People can already watch that rubbish on YouTube. "Doing research", as they say.
Janice-- I have annoyed fuagf often about the fact that he has strong opinions about what our country should do and who we should vote for--and that he is Australian and lives in Australia.
I also have strong opinions about other countries and their citizens. Russia, for example. The country Trumpty and Tucker find so impressive.
Europeans countries, too. But then I've lived outside the States, and while I did, I traveled a lot. Seems to me that fugal has done the same. He hasn't always lived in Australia.
