All California public school students will get free meals.

This is a big and important move.

Yes, Comrade. The Marxist Way is one I am sure you welcome.

I think if you are a racist dick on this board, you are a racist dick in real life. You just may adjust your behavior to avoid getting punched in the nose. Or, from seeing the effect of your comments on actual people, which should make you feel bad/ashamed. Unless you are a sociopath [cough] Forrest [/cough].


Difference between race RELATED commentary and RACISM

And on this board it would be tough not to participate in discussion on race, 

Comments taking a stance vs a person or group representing or stating views in favor of certain race-related benefit or AGAINST members of another race - comments used as a DEFLECTION by a poster - cannot and should never paint this responder as a racist

It's silly, it's unfair, it's lazy and it's TIRED.

Nothing a racist hates more than being called a racist.

Speaking from experience, racist?

I’m rubber you’re glue... really UNO?

You can call me racist all day long and I won’t care because it’s coming from you.

Standing up to Unilever's Ben & Jerry's idiocy.

State Department spokesman Ned Price on Tuesday said that the Biden administration does not support the BDS movement which seeks to build economic and political pressure on Israel internationally in solidarity with Palestinians.

“We firmly reject the BDS movement, which unfairly singles out Israel,” Price told reporters on Tuesday. “While the Biden-Harris administration will fully and always respect the First Amendment rights of our citizens, of the American people, the United States will be a strong partner in fighting efforts around the world that potentially seek to delegitimize Israel and will work tirelessly to support Israel’s further integration into the international community.”

I do miss Hass avocados, but until Israel decides to act like a civilized country, I’ll buy no more. Fortunately the local alternatives are quite decent and in addition to being available at most markets actually grow on trees around here if you know where to look.

Civilized Like Iran, Afghanistan, Isis, etc.?

McCarthy's and the Repubs agreed to a non-partisan commission to investigate 1/6, and then reneged.


How so?

Why does Pelosi see fit to first name no non-Cheney Republicans, then decline 2 of them McCarthy puts up?

We need for the young smart people to take over MTV, we need for young Harvard graduates to take over MTV, and they can totally reprogram the station.

“These actions were taken in a manner that was not transparent or bipartisan,” Degraffenreid wrote in a letter to county officials. “As a result of the access granted to Wake TSI, Fulton County’s certified system has been compromised and neither Fulton County; the vendor, Dominion Voting Systems; nor the Department of State can verify that the impacted components of Fulton County’s leased voting system are safe to use in future elections.”

From the WaPo article on decertification of the county voting system following a faux-audit by a Trumpian supported company.

Kid, I've no reason to lie to you re the R-D negotiations and agreement for shared and equal responsibility for the 1/6 Commission, but as obviously haven't kept up with the news, I'd suggest you google the subject matter., to confirm my take.

Re Pelosi: Not sure what the procedure is in your House, but Pelosi wisely decided to remove the turds from the punch bowl, before serving the punch.

Bottoms up!

Wildfires across the Pacific Northwest and western Canada are nothing new.
The secret is to put the fires out as soon as they start...

My god,  that's absolute genius.   You have solved the problem of wildfire control,  with a flash of inspiration that has eluded our best minds.   I will contact the relevant officials immediately.

TOKYO — The Tokyo Olympic organizing committee fired the director of the Opening Ceremony on Thursday because of a Holocaust joke he made during a comedy show in 1998.

Fucking ridiculous.

A comment from almost a quarter a century ago from a comedy act gets a guy fired?

We have no context, other than the word holocaust was mentioned, in an act?

So the fuck what?

Will writers, satirists, film makers, poets, or artists of any kind, let controversial political, moral or social themes, which might be offensive or challenge some in the next generation, dictate their art and thoughts?

Nuke the Tokyo Olympics!

How many Democrats of any description did McCarthy name?

That’s what I thought.

Pelosi appointed infinitely more republicans than McCarthy appointed Democrats.

Madame Speaker could add Kinzinger to make the committee more bipartisan than anything congress does at all these days.

You haven't been paying attention.
Israel is "The Jews last stand". There's nowhere else for them to go, so they're gonna fight any and every way they can to survive.
The 6 day war showed what the sentiment towards them was/is? in the Arab world.

You are as well informed about “the Jews” as you are about American women. You can blame your flagrant ignorance on these and many other topics on the stupid garbage propaganda you take for news.

That’s what they are becoming with their badly thought out treatment of the Muslim population surrounding them and among them.

I hope to see them pursue a different kind of civilization and so I use the economic clout I have to nudge them in that direction.

You could start in my world, because they don't have much idea.
They just don't get it.
Just don't get the idea of fleets of supertanker planes filling up with desalinated water.
Don't get the idea of early warning systems that actually work so residents can leave early.
Don't get the idea of having roads that can't be blocked by falling trees.
