        Thanks. Odd I haven't heard of this already. I knew there were some problems with the project and O'Keefe was taking some heat, but didn't realize it was deep sixed. That's what happens when I'm doing something while the radio is on - I get into what I'm doing and only catch a piece of the news.

          Sir , what happened was James fired an employee
          apparently he needed the Boards approval to do this. O’Keefe ,who founded the organization was the victim , like so many good organizations, had been infiltrated with scumbags.
          MAMARONECK, N.Y. — Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe said in a speech posted online Monday that he has been removed as the right-wing group's leader.

          This from the fake news AP …….In remarks that appeared to have been made at a Project Veritas' office, O'Keefe said the board had stripped him of all decision-making. The move comes after the board reportedly put him on leave from his role as chairman amid complaints about his treatment of staff at the organization.

          The staff guy did not like being fired , that’s the treatment generating the complaint.

          OMG will be refunded by PV’s donors who know
          It’s the man not the organization.

            Thanks again for the fill in. Looking forward to OMG.

            Side note: I've noticed that the MSMM usually has at least one "tell" in their text giving away their bias. This one has the line, "...he has been removed as the right-wing group's leader." containing the descriptive phrase "right-wing" when it is just a truth in media group. If it were one of their own commie organizations the line might read, "...he has been removed as the group's leader." as you will virtually never see the phrase "left-wing" or "far left" to describe their groups. These "tells" to me are the eye-rollers that make me immediately ask, "what are they not telling me?" or "what BS are they feeding?". Also, they will sort of express (their spin) what the person said without actually telling you what the person really said. They do this to Trump all the time.

    It certainly is a special kind of stupid that can't comprehend what the main purpose of the Second Amendment of the Constitution is actually addressing: The God-Given Right of American Citizens to bare arms in defense against a tyrannical government. Not hunting, not sport shooting, not collecting, not even personal defense (which are all valid reasons in-and-of-themselves) but to keep and protect our Republic from looters. End of Story.
    Maybe we are taking such flack because we are right over the target?

    Amazing how many idiots still wear masks - even when alone outside. Cracks me up!

      Virus particles are sub-micron sized. ~1/2 micron
      Paper masks trap 50 micron sized particles: sawdust, cement, stone dust, fiberglas insulation... but not asbestos.
      100 virus particles can lock arms and do the can-can right through the gaps in a paper mask.
      This is what fear p0rn does to uneducated people, it makes the ignorant, stupid.
      As my old engineer boss at MIT used to say "ignorance is curable, but stupid is forever"

    Spankings: I was a wild child growing up. Spanking were almost a weekly event. My mom had a 12" cedar wooden paddle (one of those campy gift shop things you found up in the north country) that read something to the effect "For dogs that piddle and children who tattle.. and a couple more verses I forget. One day she broke it over my butt during a particularly liberal spanking, and I thought "glad that thing is finally gone" Then she pulled off her belt.... :-(
    My wife told me her mother had a round leather horse whip thingy. She said she it hurt more than a belt. They used to hide it on her. :-)
    Ahh the 1950's. Things were sure different then.

      My mom had the awesome wooden spoon or her slipper, but usually a tap on the butt with her hand. My dad rarely used a "tool" or his hand because his voice was enough to instill the appropriate response. However, occasionally he had a piece of a bridal strap that, when applied, evoked the fear of God. He never hit very hard, but the message was clearly delivered. One cold winter he nailed it at the bottom of the back door to keep out the cold air and a bit of snow - it was a beautiful moment, LOL! Yes, the '50s and '60s were different.

      My dad had an old rubber dog brush that was kept in a drawer in the bathroom. One day I was sent to get it for my spanking , I hid it in the reservoir of the toilet. If I remember right , it still didn’t turn out well for me. Fact is we raised 3 kids and the 2 boys were spanked a couple of times when they were 3-5 . From that , it was never necessary again. All we had to do was give them the look and the behavior was corrected. We were Quick to halt problematic behavior so they knew what the boundaries were.
      Just another observation that I have from watching from other parents is when the parents asked the kid when they want to go to bed or eat or whatever. That always invites a struggle.

          Your mom must have been a tremendous woman.
          She raised a remarkable child.

            Why thank you. Hard times makes you strong, or kills you. I thank my mom, aunties, grandmother and a babysitter named Elenor who eventually married my mom's youngest brother Dougie.
            Elenor had this self-contained record player in a box that only played 45's. The top stored a dozen or so records on the same spindle you unhooked from the cover turned it around and snapped onto the platter. Viola! a dozen hit singles in-a-row. Me and my siblings learned all those 1950's classics by heart. That little record player was made by Symphonic. Their factory was right in the downtown of Lowell. Back then almost every little conner shop had a section of the store where they sold a few records back then and a couple big record shops that sold HiFi equipment and did repairs. Record Lane and Garniks are still there after 60-70 years... of course it's all used records now. RRR (my favorite) has been in business for 45 years & Vinyl Destination is the start-up, at 10 years.

    The very first meme in the top row would be what Ayn Rand would say if she still lived.
    (OMG! I called Rand a "she"! What's WRONG with me?).
    That same meme would be a good explanatory meme for the rest of the memes should someone from the Fifties show up in a time machine. May also be a good idea to let the time traveler listen to a Biden speech at the get-go.
