Re: Serving in the U.S. Military

I was naturalized in 1964, graduated from college in 1965 and shortly thereafter got the call from Selective Service for the draft physical. Being 1-A and my college deferment ended, my choice was to...

Re: Canada fears a huge rush of asylum seekers if their U.S. protected status is lift

For those tired of the Canadians' ever smug Holier than Thou attitude, this is Schadenfreude.

And yes, to the extent that the Central American border crossers are fleeing persecution, war and...

Re: It's all kicking off in Charlottesville, VA.

Your reading of the last years of the Weimar Republic's history and Germany's experience from 1933 to the advent of WWII (1930s Germany) is pathetic. You should revisit how the street wars between...

Re: It's all kicking off in Charlottesville, VA.

Evidently, and politicians like the Mayor of Berkeley either don't see that...or they do, and support that message.

Re: It's all kicking off in Charlottesville, VA.

This is what concerns me about the death of freedom of speech and assembly in this country, where the mere threat that left-wing thugs from anti-fa will create mayhem is sufficient for the mayor of...

Re: It's all kicking off in Charlottesville, VA.

Good to see a potential confrontation resolve peacefully.

But will we ever again see a Speaker's Corner in the US (as there was in Berkeley until 1964 and in Cleveland) where someone can express...

Re: It's all kicking off in Charlottesville, VA.

I thought "witchety woman's" humour was both clever and spot-on.

Seems the rally was a bust by some standards. It's not "kicking off in SF." CNN must be disappointed, with some of the...

Re: Accents - have you lost yours?

Let's not forget what garbage/rubbish gets thrown into: here a dumpsterĀ®, there a skip or skip bin. What reaction would you get from your friends if you told them you had tossed your rubbish into...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

Because Steve, sitting comfortably up in the province in which I spent much of my childhood, seemed to be celebrating the end of the so-called white power structure and I'm asking what would replace...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

Just curious: are the demographics shifting up there in the Great White North (Vancouver, anyone?) and are we also seeing the end of the traditional white power structure there?

Also, is the...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

Hey, this country has been a laughing stock in the eyes of the world for many years before Trump appeared on the world stage.

At least it was fun to see Melania towering over Vladimir while...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

It seems the Republicans in Congress have some sort of death wish when they get a majority. If they don't deliver on their promises "Nancy P" will be in charge and then nothing will get done other...

Where's Pulaski, now that we need him to comment.

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

Should Californians decide to secede, the Red counties will definitely pull a West Virginia and secede from California and form the great state of Jefferson. I still think if California were to go...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

My quote was a reference to Yolanda Adams' song; and was meant to bring comfort to those
of our brethren who are having such a difficult time living with our current President.

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

The 38 state thing is the number required to amend the Constitution in a constitutional convention (3/4ths of the states). If a constitutional convention, were called to provide for secession, it...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

That might deter California too. Forget Cali's share of the national debt, imagine just the problem of suddenly having to pay for continuation of Social Security and Medicare benefits for millions...

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

You may well be right about California, but consider: your Governor flies to China to negotiate with them to continue to keep Cali in the Paris Accord, your largest cities are all Sanctuary Cities...

Re: Amazon news

"Organic?" Also not sure, but I'm always concerned when my wife brings home inorganic lettuce, milk and bread. Has that hard, stony, metalic, gritty mouth feel.

Re: How long until the apocalypse?

Depends on how you define apocalypse. If the apocalypse were to involve the United States breaking up into two or three countries, with the Blue States on one side and the Red States on the other,...

Re: Another attack on the UK

It is likely that Muslim on Muslim terrorism is largely ignored by the MSM - like the huge suicide bomb in Kabul last week. When it happens here, or in Europe, we generally see more reportage.

Re: Another attack on the UK

We are already starting to see the obligatory flowers laid at the scene of the terrorist outrage, police admitting that they were aware of the terrorists beforehand, political "leaders" declaring...

Re: Classy Canadians.

Amen to that. One little piece of news is that one-quarter of the federal prison population consists of illegal aliens. Probably not very many of them are illegal alien Canadians, I suspect.
