Meme #1 second row.
Was that scene in Home Alone or the sequel?
Me dino' memory is getting old.
As for that last meme, Sick Slick Willie belongs in prison.
He will never go there. Just like a certain Obamanation.
Orange Man Always TDS Bad might if communists fully take over the Jackass Party and the USA.

They should have looked more like me. HAha....

Premise accepted. The fact that Eddie is African-American is really of minor issue in this case. Thank you for your response and helping me better understand this quirk in the movies.

Cultural, Marxism, that is . . .

Yep! For sure!

👍👍

Firstly, I have many reservations about International Man, and Stockman and Casey.
Now on this one- the Russian special military intervention of Feb 2022, the argument is correct, agreeing with my reading of other sources I rely on.

Yes, Ukraine is an artificial nation with borders set by the Soviets for administrative convenience.
Hatreds exploded in WW2 notably with the ultra-nationalists (neonazis), since then, things have got worse.

I would not have been as severe on Rubio and Trump, yes, they are not historians, but yes they should seek out and find that expertize, it exists.

I'd say there are two big villains- US Deepstate incl the armaments industry, and NATO/EU. As many have noted, not just Trump, the EU has put itself on a suicide path with massive inward migration of barbarians, and slavish adoption of climate crap. Result- social and economic disasters. Governments' response, as usual, blame Russia.

Need that Rearden Track . . .

He can skip Minnesota too.

I like to say that "Capitalism is hard!" It is. But, still better than the alternative.

I was more upset when John Galt and Hank Rearden didn't look anything like me. Haha...

Being anti-racist I don't think Ayn Rand would mind much as long as the character is true to his place and purpose in the novel. Eddie Willers is the "common man". Loyal and hard working, but doesn't put his neck out to change the world. He is a support character whose race is virtually irrelevant. Besides, if some Hollywood woke inclusiveness didn't blackwash a piece of the cast in this movie the left's bitching about everything "Randian" would reach a whole new level. Oh and "cultural appropriation" is never brought up in these cases because it doesn't fit the woke narrative to which we are all supposed to be genuflecting.

Range is a main reason I would not own an EV. Uh-oh, I have to admit there's been a few occasions I've texted my wife to fill in my memory on grocery lists left behind, duh-oh! With government programs giving out free stuff Santa really doesn't need to go to Chicago anymore. Weed states can be worrisome at times.

Thank you, OUC, for this fine Sunday edition! Hey, trying to type on this moving train can be a challenge, LOL!

That last meme reminds me of a silly but very bloody movie I twice bumped into and in parts watched on SYFY called Violent Night this week
Never saw the start so don't know how bad guys got involved. Santa does not like guns. He would rather beat or chop up bad guys with crude weapons.
Santa's death copied Tinkerbell's fading blinking light on a wall in Mary Martin's Peter Pan that I saw as a kid during the Fifties.
Kids in TV land were encouraged to repeatedly say "I believe in Tinkerbell" until the blinking light brightened. Yay! Tinkerbell saved!
People blood-spattered dead Santa had saved encouraged each other to say "I believe in Santa Claus, I believe in Santa Claus, etc"
And oh wonders of all wonders! Santa rose from the dead and called it "Christmas magic."
Don't think I ruined the ending. Crazy flick was too off the wall for that.

News Thump (great name for a Santa Publication)
Betcha he contracts Amazon for next years shipments . . .

I'm in the process of framing the kidnapping and voyage in a children's story, doing my own illustrations now that I'm recovering from a few things. :)

Hollywood's "artistic license".

You got a good beginning to a factual Novel.

My ancestor asked permission to marry his chosen lady, but she hadn't finished her indenture, so her master said no. George reacted in a way that seems to have been passed down to his descendents. They eloped, left Maryland with all they owned on the back of a horse, and ended up in The Chestnut Ridge area of Pennsylvania. He'd already scouted the area and they built a home not far from Fort Ligonier, a handy place to go during periodic indian attacks. It's quite a story :)

I'll try and remember that next time, I'll put it in a more primary obvious position, like atop my opening commentary.

Cool video. For some reason the URL doesn't show up when I'm looking at it from my phone. Thanks for the update.

Source URL, about an inch under the MEME. Here, I pasted below:

Most welcome

First, this is why I LOVED Trump taking EXQUITY in INTC when it was promised billions (after doing the same crap).

Second, yes, there is a problem here. Every company (XEROX, KODAK) eventually fails because the world changes, and new companies come to replace them.

Third, this is forced on these companies because of the banking system.
Because "Cash is Trash", they are encouraged to take on and service debt.
And when the companies GROWTH >> INTEREST being charged, it makes sense,
Financially to borrow money and buy your stock back. Pay it back later with cheaper
money.

Finally, everyone is in it for the short-term hit.
Tax company stock buybacks?
90% Tax on C-Suite Bonuses?

Not sure, exactly, how to get people to think longer term.
But at some point... It's theirs.
The problem is, my 401(k) is forced to participate in this scam!

Thanks for all you have sent this year :-)
