I remember “It’s 10 pm, do you know where your children are?” being asked every night before the local news.

‘Stand By Me’ was a movie about four boys disappearing for a weekend and not one parent was arrested.

Obviously, it would have to be developed, but the potential was there.

The idea of a steam engine was around in the 1st Century. Personally, I like to think someone at the Coliseum would be looking for a faster way to move things around that didn’t require an army of slaves or big smelly animals.

Things like hot air balloons, gun powder rockets, and optics all in the service of Bread and Circuses.

Now private

Yes.

Rudy was a bully when he was NYC Mayor. He happily jailed fare beaters and squeegee men to ‘protect’ the citizens.

I only wish he’d been forced to hand over the assets personally.

Thanks for the links

Everyone feels their own feelings.

It might take you a while to process everything.

One more thing…

Make an extra set of keys before you move in.

Sanders is almost 90. You cant count on him to survive his term, much less create a new Party.

No 3rd party has won the Presidency in modern times.

If you want to see change, look at what’s actually worked in the past.

Back in the day, a guy named Jerry Falwell made himself a power in the GOP by a simple trick.

Both Parties, Dems and GOP have local clubs that make the small scale choices that keep things moving. They pick the county clerks and sheriffs. If the local GOP club had had twenty people at the meeting that chose the country clerk, Falwell’s folks would show up with fifty.

After a while, those county clerks were becoming Congresspeople.

[off topic]

Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You’ll get all you need.

Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.

The Left keeps not voting in hopes the Dems will come to them.

It’s not going to work next time either.

I’m sure that the same people who couldn’t deliver Bernie Sanders an overwhelming win in 2020 can suddenly become savvy pols who can just put together a national third party.

If you want action, do what AOC and the others in her squad did. Work inside the Dem party.

Take a lesson from the right. Back in the 1970s Jerry Falwell decided to take control of the GOP. He did it from the ground up. If the local GOP club had had twenty people show up to the last meeting to pick the next county clerk, Falwell’s people would show up with fifty people. Soon those county clerks and sheriffs were becoming Congresspeople and Senators.

Politics is a game and the left sucks at playing it.

Do yourself a favor and wait.

There’s a good chance you could make your condition worse.

This is when you bite the bullet and talk to a trained professional.

The stupidest thing is that he could have quietly blackmailed the Saudis out of $50 billion on Inauguration Day 2017.

Sounds like the start of a Tony Hillerman [author] Joe Leaphorn mystery. Someone finds a body that looks like it’s a Native American ritual burial, but it’s not…

[see TV show ‘Dark Winds’]

There’s an urban legend in New York City.

One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim’s hands, feet, and skin was removed. There’s a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it’s the body of a gorilla.

There was a hot dog factory in the area.

So, it wasn’t a massacre?

Because when I asked what your big wins were, you named two massacres.

You didn’t say your ideas failed, you said that massacres were fine with you.

When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…
