- 76Yes! We certainly have our challenges. Those in the Constitution I like to call “graffiti” and, as you point out, they're found several places in the Document (and Amendments). Few may result from imprecise word choice or a consequence of word meaning shift. Others are glaring. But, in all cases, the meaning must be consistent with the document's purpose (stated in the Preamble) otherwise ignored as graffiti.
- 77Posted by Abaco 4 days, 1 hour ago to Bioweapon lab found and CDC wouldn't test the samples labeled "Ebola"?I was just in Vegas and caught the local news on this. Yep, next to a water delivery canal. You know…they’ve been discovering similar unlicensed, undocumented labs like this in California - mainly Chinese and working w Covid. Nobody in the government cares and Gavey’s CDPH told the authorities in Fresno after one was found there to quit talking about it. Hey. This is where we’re at now. Some factions absolutely LOVE what happened during Covid, apparently, and would like to see more of it. But, don’t worry. The government loves you, and wants to keep you safe.
- 78Reverse science: Picking a question to suit a list of conclusions:
LGBTQ - good
Trump - bad
Christian - bad
Islam - victim
Black - victim
Hispanic - victim, unless conservative
Asian - Exception to victim rule. Ignore unless they also support all other victims
Guns - bad
ICE - bad
Law Enforcement - bad if admin is conservative, good if admin is progressive
Totalitarianism - Great, if government is progressive.

We could write a book! - 79Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 2 hours ago to Democracies Never LastHmmmmm, somebody should come up with a meme expressing that, LOL! (Sorry, Thor, as true as your post is, the thought struck me as humorous and I couldn't help myself.)
- 80Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 2 hours ago to Democrats Just Gave Away the Real Reason They’re Fighting Immigration EnforcementWasn't the US border a "sensitive place" violated by these ILLEGAL aliens in the first place? There are NO "sensitive places" for law enforcement not to do it's duty and its job.
- 81Our forefathers studied the classics and logic. The present world studies memes and practices cognitive dissonance.
- 82Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 2 hours ago to From National Pastime to Political PlatformRegarding this, as an independent little peon I'm doing the only things I can do: I don't watch their programming, I don't attend their functions, and I don't buy any of their crap. Even when programs I do like tangent off into the sports politics garbage I switch stations or shut it off and find something else to do with what's left of my time here on earth.
Nice article, LibertyPen. Thanks for posting it in the Gulch. - 83Posted by Eyecu2 4 days, 2 hours ago to TGIFfunnies 2/6/26 EDITION: YES, It's really THAT Cold !I REALLY liked the water cannons!
- 84Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 2 hours ago to America’s Death RattleUnderstood. I despise the phone for typing on that teeny keyboard and dictation screws up every time.
- 85Posted by Tavolino 4 days, 2 hours ago to Democracies Never LastThe words of Lord Tytler Woodhouselee appears eerily prophetic. The Scottish judge, writer, professor, and historian described the cyclical stages of democracy. He portrayed societies moving from bondage to spirituality to courage to liberty to abundance to complacency to apathy to dependence, and back to bondage.
- 86Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 2 hours ago to Bioweapon lab found and CDC wouldn't test the samples labeled "Ebola"?A good fiction writer couldn't make this up! WTF!!! I know this is dangerous, but tax dollars supporting entities like the CDC that refuse to chase this down after it is discovered need to be diverted to an agency that actually does! How would we know if Nellis AFB isn't already contaminated and is unknowingly delivering bio-death all over the military?
- 87Posted by Abaco 4 days, 2 hours ago to America’s Death RattleSorry for the typos. I did this in my phone just before I had to run a meeting, ha…
- 88I certainly agree; their actions must have consequences!
- 89Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 3 hours ago to TGIFfunnies 2/6/26 EDITION: YES, It's really THAT Cold !Supposed to get even more nasty this weekend so I brought in extra wood from back in the snow to supplement the heating using the fireplaces throughout the weekend. Wife happy... niiice.

Its unfortunate but I think we are at a stage of corruption that this is now necessary. These "elites" in the semi-released Epstein files are far more sadistic and self-serving. They will never be prosecuted until we demand that they are. All of them, it doesn't matter who they are, actions have consequences. - 91Posted by jack1776 4 days, 5 hours ago to Democracies Never Last"Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States..." I did not know about this, we are far from it.
I personally think that this is our biggest challenge, the unequal levy of taxes and benefits. Corruption, special interests and a welfare state are all the result,
I think everyone should pay the same flat percentage of income taxes or you get a proportional vote based on your income tax bracket. I don't know if you have noticed but the inmates are running the insane asylum. All of these government programs to subsidies the cost cause it to go through the roof for the non-moocher types, causing more and more to go on the tit. - 92Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 5 hours ago to Democracies Never LastNicely written, but some problems are built into the Constitution such as the preamble clearly states "promote" the general welfare but Article 1 section 8 states "provide" the general welfare. Free America can go along with the "promote", but clearly the commies love the "provide".
The preamble: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Article 1 section 8: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States..." - 93Posted by mccannon01 4 days, 6 hours ago to TGIFfunnies 2/6/26 EDITION: YES, It's really THAT Cold !Nice, OUC, LOL! This morning I was greeted by a sudden heatwave: 16degF, up from 9degF and the sun was shining - uh, starting to snow again as I write this - darn, LMAO!
- 94Posted by $ allosaur 4 days, 19 hours ago to TGIFfunnies 2/6/26 EDITION: YES, It's really THAT Cold !Is it time to break out the water cannons in Minnesota?
Ne dino did not laugh when I was that. I nodded instead.
Then I recalled reading decades back that once upon a time rubber bullets were once used.
What will professional demonstrators take money to do next?
Demonstrate so all may behold the warmth of collectivism? - 95had to grab my sides was laughing so hard on some, thanks.

- 97Our USA forefathers possessed an exceptional genius.
Hopefully, Democrats shall cease to exist~~in spite of their rich britches backers. - 98Posted by rhfinle 5 days, 5 hours ago to Democrats Have Become The "Useful Idiots" Of Globalist/Marxist Forces Bent On Destroying Western CivI've said this before: The Democrats HATE Russia for exposing the truth about Communism, and many Republicans can't get Stalin and the Cold War out of their heads, and don't trust Russia at all. So sad,because they could have become one of our staunchest allies, if the morons in Washington had allowed it. Reagan and Gorbachev are rolling in their graves.
- 99Posted by rhfinle 5 days, 5 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME: Professional Protest CEO Exposes Minneapolis OperationThat guy got lucky. You read all the time about people being "ejected from the vehicle", almost always with fatal results. About 60 years ago, my uncle, who was not yet in the military, was clowning around with some buddies in the woods, at night, and they hit a downed tree square with a jeep. I don't know how fast they were going, but it threw him over the windshield (which I assume was folded down) and over the tree. He got up and walked off, also very lucky.
- 100Posted by $ Olduglycarl 5 days, 15 hours ago to Democrats Have Become The "Useful Idiots" Of Globalist/Marxist Forces Bent On Destroying Western CivWas just marveling over the straight forwardness of the Title of this piece. Not long ago, it would have seemed to be judged outrageous conspiracies or the aftermath of post 60s LSD mania.
Quite a change. . . yep, this 'is' revelations.
