Oh, so you bricks are victims now? Funny how that goes.

Anyway, happy Fourth of July!

Yes, but will fight on and persevere, we are dedicated to a free and open spirit paradise, and will fight against our free agency being restricted by those appointed by the evil one who resides in the Shade, that dictate over our right to be equally heard.

We will fight against the Sons of Progressiveness, and will not sit on the fence least our hair be turned blue, with that evil curse.

Happy Fourth to you and yours!

Trump authorized another large purchase from Gyna, so we’re good to go.

Happy Fourth, Penguin!
Now that you have allowed Wang Chung to post a thread with the opening post not having any written context, only pictures, am I allowed to do the same?
What does that comment have to do with my post? : )

No, you can't do that. What are you thinking. I will paraphrase a rule from the old FAIR board that has been adopted here by Pancakes as an amendment to Universal law 10.

" There are special and elite guests here that do not have to follow the rules as all the distractors from our cause do, they have special privilege here and are allowed to break any and all rules, as long as they support the cohesiveness of the LDS progressive left community. "
1. I don’t know who Pancakes is, but they otherwise taste delicious.

2. No such rule exists. Are you suggesting that this one should be implemented?

I like what Bari Weiss said today over at the Free Press:
(Non-essential words edited out by me)

Apparently, Bari attended many Trump campaign rallies in 2024, and memorized the script. : D
I'm doubting she attended any Trump rallies.
[Bari] "portrays herself as a liberal uncomfortable with the excesses of left-wing culture."

[She has] "sought to "position herself as a reasonable liberal concerned that far-left critiques stifled free speech."

[She is a] "left-leaning centrist."

That's what I've thought/noticed. :lol:

The thread is a community holiday greeting.

Not much to celebrate this year as we are experiencing a loss of liberty, a greater centralization of power in the executive, the violation of civil rights, an end to the rule of law, corruption on an unprecedented scale.

The only thing to celebrate is our resolve to oppose tyranny.
I like what Bari Weiss said today over at the Free Press:
The tenor of the public debate—from elected officials to pundits, journalists to public intellectuals—implies that we are living in something approaching the apocalypse. To them, the game is rigged, the system is broken, everything is awful, and life was better decades ago.

That’s mostly BS.

Yes, we have real problems. But widen the aperture, and you’ll see that there has never been a better time to be alive than the present day.
And:
The incentives of the press fuel the narrative of despair and doom. So do the incentives facing politicians, who don’t get gigs by telling you: “Things are mostly okay, but hey, there are some things we really need to work on.”

The internet and social media have exponentially exacerbated any problems that we have in America.

I think we live in the greatest nation in the world in many respects. And the Constitution is still the greatest standard for a successful and free citizenry ever created by men. Some would even say that God had a hand in it.

Happy Birthday America!!!

MG
As secret police kidnap and deport American citizens and Trump’s DoJ threatens to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship, I don’t share your optimism. It would be one thing if I thought you acknowledged the gravity of the issue. Pardon me if I missed that post.

And, by the way, Bari Weiss is a mouthpiece for Peter Thiel, who does not believe in democracy.
"He disturbs the laws of his country, he forces himself upon women, and he puts men to death without trial.” ~Otanes on the monarch, Herodotus Histories 3.80.
