    It took a while, but found the link:

    https://annas-archive.org

    I can't seem to copy it so it goes to the book, but your link that works is in the Gulch topic "Happy Worst Presidents Day".

    A possibility I saw elsewhere is laziness (and incompetence in not checking) where the sender used the initials JG to add a person to the call list and Jeff Goldberg was inserted from the sender's contact list instead of Jameison Greer, the U.S. Trade Representative who attends National Security Council meetings. Oops! Better be more careful next time! Actually, a lesson for all of us to heed.

    There's that phrase again: 'Political Stacking'. that's Not what we do, that's what they do. All we look for is ruling by the statements of the constitution and moral law. No "Opinion" needed, most is black and white!
    I thought that writing that might make me feel better . . . but it didn't, . , . , I'm still extremely pissed off !

    Been there, done that. I can't even think of a leftist friend I have anymore. I have two coffe group friends that are both married to leftists, and they get along with them by never, ever, discussing ppolitics, not even joking about it. Of course they are tainted a little too by their wives.

    I thought it was on archive.com but it may have been removed since then.

    It was an excellent book. I read it after you recommended it a while ago here in the Gulch.

    Didn't you offer a link to a free pdf download or was it someone else? That's how I got it. I can't remember the link.

    I think I have lost all my liberal Friends as I have not heard from them in quite a while, like months. They used to beat me up for being Conservative but I refuted all their talking points with facts and slowly they stopped talking to me. Amazing how that works. Wait, I still do have 1 or 2 liberal friends as they are guys I was in the military with and we are on the same message boards. They hit me up when I post something they do not like but at least one of them has TDS as he hates everything Trump.

    Excellent walk through history, TT. I recall each quote from when I was very young.

    Yes, this is a real threat to America- people in charge of the law, who think they are above the Law.

    I give America a 50-50 chance.

    Openness and Transparency is the only way forward. America has a little, the rest of the world, none.

    Yeah, I was raised going to a Baptist church. It was a great part of my childhood and my brother and I, many decades later, still talk about it and keep in touch with some of those friends made back then. It's interesting, your observation. There are some things in the Bible that are really applicable and interesting. One of my good friends can't even get himself to admit that...because it's in the Bible. If the Bible said, "don't jump off that cliff", he'd do it. Haha. Maybe that'll be my next joke played on him...haha...

    Yeah...My family lived within our financial means. It wasn't all great times all the time. But, you don't need a new car every year and a toy hauler full of expensive stuff to have a good family life. I remember being shocked when I entered my 20s and seeing all the shiny new cars my contemporaries were driving. I was the weirdo. Haha...

    Sorry for all the funerals! I've been lucky (in this respect at least), that my brothers and sisters are all gone except for one, who is far more conservative than I. Picture those big ole pickup trucks with Cowboy emblems and big flags flying from the back!

    My problem is my kids - and THEIR kids! So, I just don't talk politics with them.

    Maybe a mistake; maybe an intentional leak and distraction.
    It's a molehill being made into an anthill by the treasonous media.
    A choice: (a) trust the biased media, (b) trust the biased politicians,
    (c) ignore the entire pile of sludge and get on with personal productivity
    while preparing for an extended economic decline caused by the
    activities of the biased media and biased politicians.

    You should read The Real Lincoln to be informed of the fedgov propaganda regarding
    the 'reasons' and how Lincoln refused to even discuss ways to end the occupation of
    Sumter peacefully to avoid war.
    It was a great example of a PsyWar on the American People.

    I guess this is a variant of the ad hominem attack. First, impune the source even when not specifically cited so in the blind, then attack the messenger. We have arrived at a point where everyone has their very own set of facts, and apparently, no one has the wisdom to understand that fact.

    does not really matter
    NOTHING the yeman bast_ards would do would stop us for doing what we needed to do

    was this a mis-direction? look here while we attack there...

    yes, someone needs to verify how it happened, if it happened

    (not) smart phones are the bane of all that use them.
    i almost added 138 people to a MS Teams call, i typed the first 2 letters of someone's name, hit "add" to add them to the call. the list updated to be 138 people.... damn computers slow refresh

    the South fired the first shot

    they had the right to leave the union, for the wrong reasons

    the north fought their right to leave, for the right reason (in the end)

    but along the way, the nation was lost, became much worse under Wilson and FDR

    and LBJ made us welfare slaves for the benefit of others not of our family, the courts have stayed away from that and now to try and take medicare, medicad will cause a civil war and do major harm

    Heh! That happened to me right after the 2020 election steal.
    I still have a couple of Left-leaning acquaintances, but they know if / when politics rears it's ugly head, I don't back down.

    I'm polite, civil, stick to the facts, cite my sources.

    But I don't shy away from confronting BS.

    But you bet, I have fewer "acquaintances" these days. Which is fine with me.

    And while we are on the subject of culling acquaintances with whom I disagree, I have experienced a very small group of people who view my Christianity as some sort of problem.
    I'm talking about long-time acquaintances whom I used to attend church with!

    People who had their children Baptized and named my wife and I as God Parents...

    I do understand the resentment some Catholics have with the church and the whole pedo thing (I'm a Baptist), but why did they turn their back on Christ?

    No "judge" has the constitutional power TO GRANT CITIZENSHIP to ILLEGAL INVADERS AND TO PRETEND THEY DO IS AN unconstitutional usurpation of authority.
    Giving AID AND COMFORT TO AMERICAS ENEMIES WHILE ON US SOIL IS AN ACT OF TREASON.
