I may be a guy who helped to raise three kids but I can relate to why a mommy would want a time out in the family dog's cage to curl up with a good book.
Nevertheless, she would need ear plugs reinforced with a shooter's ear protectors when the toddlers start throwing screaming tantrums.
If I made that photo, the dog would be holding its paws over its head. "WAH! WAH! WAH!"
The combo redneck grill and cooler reminds me that I'm taking a time out from clearing a stubborn clog in my toilet. Well,, back into the breech I gotta go! Yeah, before me dino gotta go again.

Now I can mark a "Check" next to that goal !!!

I actually understood most of these!

The last one made me laugh out loud.

They're pretty nervous, in fact, confused, disorganized and chaotic, because they are beginning to realize that Marxism and any type of Marxist derivative, has been annihilated!

But what we have to watch for is any sign of a retreat where they can pull together and strike again.

Living your life for someone else helps neither of you. It, in fact, denigrates the intelligence and capabilities of the one (whose life you must live), while at the same time wasting your own time and energy and productiveness.

Rand had it right.

socialism is really very bad. A person should be responsible for his/her own life. Taking welfare from others is ok as long as the first thing you do when your feet are back on the ground is pay their generosity back
entitlement is a very bad thing

95% agree!

Abaco, let me tell you something. The confusion and chaos in the opposition has come to the point where they no longer know how to counterattack with logic and reason. They never did anyway, but it is now very very bad.

Not all the homeless are like that, but yes, the drug problem is so severe in this country that some will do that. As I said, I have lived among them, intermittently and one thing I have found among the ones I knew, is that they asked me for nothing, but gave the only thing they had: their trust and their loyalty.

I remember Obamma saying "There's always a period of turmoil before socialism sets in". He never said it in public of course.

But he was instrumental in having marijuana legalized, starting in MY state: Colorado.

I'm keeping pretty busy, 'freiheit'! (Freedom in German!)

Just to clue you and other Gulchers in, there is an article on RT: "CNN Requests RT Contributor's Comments for Hit Piece Just Before U.S. Election". The RT article reports, "CNN published a lengthy hit piece on Wednesday, claiming that the broadcaster’s journalists, together with Clemson University’s Media Forensics Hub, supposedly uncovered a sprawling disinformation network backed by Moscow and spreading narratives that are then amplified by various popular US speakers."

Not sure exactly what the hullabaloo is all about, but I posted this:

"I still don't get it. Can anyone help me out? Who, WHO, is the ultimate decider if information is misinformation? I mean, if I tell the truth, and I always tell the truth, who, WHO, has the authority to say I am lying?"

Because of Galileo's fight with the Pope, the motto of the Royal Society became: On No One's Authority But My Own.

The Democrat-Socialist-Marxist-Communist Party in America wants to send civilization all the way back to a time before Galileo, even before Aristotle.

And remember Rand stated there were only three philosophers worth reading, the three A's: Aristotle, Aquinas, and Ayn Rand.

In the great depression, there were people who had nothing. They would wander from farm to farm to get food so they didnt starve. Often they would offer to do any work you needed to get the food.

Today, the homeless just beg at street corners with sob stories written on pieces of cardboard- expecting people will feel sorry for them and give them money so they can get drugs and alcohol.
I think its BAD for people to give them money and extend their suffering before they finally figure out how to survive.

Me now an over the hill old dino thinks me should start for spotting a speed trap mischievously start flashing my headlights like I used to do as a teen.
Signaling is free speech whether it is mischievous or not.
So is the upraised middle finger whether it reflects one's IQ or not.

Thanks.

Bravo! 👍

GG&S, I'll check it out. (Lot's to read, eh?)

ONLY 17? Bwaaaaa ha ha!

Can take your breath away grrrrffffrrrrnggggg!!!

very funny, all too true for many times ,,

Oh. I still think it's a guy thing.

You can't picture yourself howling, hopping around and screeching intelligibly in what might seem like 17 different languages?
You have yet to change my mind that this ends up funny, (once the pain goes away or the remembrance of it)

Before I go to bed tonight, I'm going to post the link to the movie, it is Italian, produced 1942, went to the Venice Film Festival, then was banned and ordered destroyed by Il Duce, Mussolini.

About 22:23 or 23 minutes in, there is a great speech in the 'Student Cooperative'. Quotes like "Science is a weapon of the class struggle" and "We've outgrown the bourgeois egoism of personal careers".

I thought the people who would get the most out of this movie, are the budding Communists! (If any are watching.)

Okay, carl, you got me. I have no idea what this is all about.

Are you sure that's the right meme to go with the sentences?

My thoughts exactly! And frankly, in the 21st century, apart from a few select thinkers, like Sir Roger Penrose, we don't have the same caliber thinkers.

For instance, Neil Degrasse-Tyson.

I had a conversation with a black professor of physics once, about maybe eight years or so ago, who told me Galileo wasn't important because he wasn't the first. That's all he could get out of Galileo---Copernicus and Kepler had the idea of a helio-centric world system before Galileo.

The truth is, Copernicus and Kepler were NOT the first; ancient Greek astronomers broached the idea, but some clung to a stable earth.

Two, Galileo never claimed to be the first. He built his telescope after someone in I think the Netherlands or somewhere had built one. But what he DID do, and what got him into trouble with the pope, (and the Inquisition) Urban VIII I think, was that he had proved it, and said he had proved it. He used his telescope, and his observations of the moons of Jupiter, and of sun spots. And he never gave in, until he was accused of atheism, even though he was quite religious, and that hurt.

So back to the point, this black professor of physics couldn't understand that Galileo's great contribution to science, greater than any other, was his realization that it is man's individual mind that determines truth and reality, not the pope, not other scientists. And that realization released the pent-up frustrations of the Europeans, so they could advance science beyond any degree beforehand.

Have you ever read Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel"? He raises the question, why was it the Europeans who took off and became the originators of modern science and technology?

And that's a completely separate issue.

Which languages would you have started out with and out of all the noises you'd make, what made you think they were actually part of a particular language?

I found it! From 1942, an Italian movie, dubbed. It was lost, then found and restored.

But what's interesting, is that in Italy, after a few months, the movie was banned and ordered destroyed, by the FASCIST Mussolini! It was the top grossing film in Italy in 1942, and appeared at the Venice Film Festival.

And this is from the website https://wethelivingmovie.com/

The fascists banned the movie. But Trump, they say, is a fascist! What's going on here?
