If we send food to the poor in China, and if we work together with China to cure Cancer, and if we bring their homeless and poor to Route 66 to find homes, and if we help to employ their people with good jobs and if they are treated fairly, then we can preach to them at the same time and we can win them over for Christ...

So that's three members now on Ignore, which makes me think the noise-to-signal ratio has passed that point where there can be little real discussion or exchange of ideas.  As often happens with the enshittification of the Net (to borrow Cory Doctorow's term), you end up with the most ignorant and the worst listeners and those temperamentally incapable of fairly considering a differing opinion, becoming the most vocal members and dominating all discussions until anything resembling conversation is drowned out. 

I admit I'm indecisive on whether to just pull the plug or stop by and chat with the local wits occasionally.  Those worthies have become, with that cyber alchemy the Net can still achieve, real people who offer a genuine sense of good fellowship, and can offer something beyond entrenched grievance and regurgitated propaganda. 

My hope for those worthies is they remain cognizant that Elba will never be some Manichean proving ground where good will conquer evil or reason triumph over unreason.  Eventually the bastards grind you down and the trolls simply wear you out with their same endless dishonest provocations.  Don't let them.

Cheers.

Barton was obviously hyperventilating into a mirror.

From the roots of White Male Culture



For corporations and firms that are
committed to a diverse workforce,
recognizing and celebrating multicul-
turalism is a common theme. The U.S.
has long been thought of as a melting
pot of cultures with people emmigrat-
ing here from all over the globe. Many
cultures have and continue to influence
the American way. But a meaningful
examination of culture in the U.S. can
be both complex and difficult.
But there is one culture that is so perva-
sive it is often invisible, even to those
who rarely if ever have to leave
the white male culture.
Like fish unaware of
water, most white men respond,  What
culture? when the topic is raised. But
just as Asian respect for elders can be
traced to their reverence of their ances-
tors, white male culture (the dominant
culture at the foundation of most U.S.-
based organizations) can be traced to
the environmental influences of Euro-
pean white men struggling to leave the
British Isles and survive in the Colonies.
This historical can do individualism per-
vades the American workforce to such
an extent that its roots are impercepti-
ble, and some of its fiercest defenders
can be non-white men who see it as
the way things get done.

Oh. Is that what Bambu meant? He seemed to be talking about his fellow reactionaries in Australia. I guess he can answer.

News Note

Researchers now say Christopher Columbus was probably Jewish and came from Spain, not Italy.
Part of the evidence was DNA.( though no one explains how DNA can be used to identify a religion)
The report goes on to say that Columbus and many other Jewish  Spainards relocated after Spainish royalty decreed they must convert to Catholicism.

If so it stands to reason that Columbus was actually looking for a new land for Jews and was probably not the Catholic
Colonizer so many woke folks say he was.

[FlyingVProd]

In Mexico everyone mixed together, the Natives and the Spaniards and the Blacks all mixed together. Latin America will rise. We need to expand trade and improve relations with Mexico, and with Latin America, and the Colombians are welcome to come to New Orleans, etc.

I need to do a DNA test, I am not sure where my family came from, we have been in America for a long, long time, and I had ancestors in Colorado, and Kentucky, and Arkansas, and New York, and Oregon, and in Indiana, etc. I think I have some Native blood, and maybe some Black, but I need to do a DNA test to see.

I have Olive Skin, I think from the French in me, but I need to do the DNA test to see.

I support Pope Francis and I support Peace.

In America then all men are equal, and we have the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968; we have the Equal Opportunity Act of 1964, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

In Hollywood it was against the law to feed the homeless, and when I was homeless in Hollywood then it was against the law to feed me. I am very big on the issue of feeding the poor. To make a person be homeless and hungry in their own nation is bullshit, and then to make it against the law to feed people, it was all bullshit. What are you supposed to do if you are homeless and hungry in Hollywood? Just commit suicide? We need to help people, and we need cheap hostels, and we need soup kitchens to feed the poor, etc.

Cool about the race Bambu, we have the race here at Pike's Peak in Colorado and it is a big deal, but not as big as your race. And the F-35 and F-22 are the best we have now. The F-104 Starfighters can be upgraded with vectored thrust, etc, and they can still be used as Interceptors. Be sure to upgrade on Missile Defense, they need to put an Iron Dome over Australia.

I told Universal to buy Playboy, and I gave them some ideas for new shows for the Playboy Channel. Universal is investing a lot of money into their theme parks in Hollywood and in Orlando. And Disney is investing a lot here in Anaheim.

Bill Gates said that the number one issue right now is Food to feed to the world. Kamala Harris said that the high cost of food is an issue.

We have 175,000 homeless people in California, and we have refugees coming to our Southern Border, and we have refugees coming here from all over the world.

We need to have the Future Farmers of America to teach everyone how to be Farmers, and we need to give Business Loans for people to grow food, and Grants that people do not have to pay back if they supply food to the needy. Then the homeless, and the refugees, etc, can join the United Farm Workers and they can go to work for the farmers. Then it is all about Supply and Demand, as people grow more food then the prices for food will come down.

And feeding the poor in China is a tool of PEACE, and we can preach to them about Jesus as we feed the poor.

Mexico is also growing a lot of food, and Colombia is growing a lot of coffee, etc. Bananas are plentiful, etc, and the mango crop is good this year. Avocados are $2 each, and the farmers are doing well right now.

California received a lot of water from rains recently, and we can grow food and wine, and the Basques can raise cattle, sheep, and goats, etc. And Route 66 has water right now, it is a good time with plenty of water.

We are also blessed to have a good Pope, and I also like Giorgia Meloni, we have some good leaders in the world.

The Bible says the best way to treat your enemy is to feed their poor, and to win their poor over to your point of view, for the Lord. If we come into China and start feeding the poor, then that is how you win people over for Christ.

I for one would much rather plant avocados and live in a high density apartment unit like in Santorini, Greece, or work on a Vineyard, or plant oranges, etc, instead of being one of the 175,000 homeless people, and I am sure if given a choice then many homeless people would choose to live and work on a farm or vineyard, etc, and they can grow food to increase supply, and to feed the poor. The worst thing in the world is to waste all of that potential by allowing them to live on the sidewalk homeless, they need to be able to live in beautiful gardens and on beautiful farms, etc, with schools and libraries, while they work and grow food for the poor.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

Good question.

In my world

Not;

. FGM
. Forced marriages
. Marching thru the streets illegally, blocking the movement of traffic and pedestrians, and letting off flares.
. Vandalising war memorials.
. Invading universities and taking control of them.


Is:

. The Blue Danube Waltz
. Kilts
. Bagpipes
. English language
. Respect for society and everyone in it, their rights and liberties, and obeying its laws/rules.

The economy is doing great right now, Biden is presiding over an economy that is creating 250,000 jobs per month, could you imagine if we continue to create 250,000 jobs per month? That is awesome.

And the areas which were hit by storms can build back better, with Greek Architects, and with cheap and plentiful Lumber from Canada, etc. Florida likes the Spanish architects too, and the Italian architects, etc. And I love the Mid Century Modern, and the Art Deco. Santiago Calatrava is good too. And they need to have lots of tennis courts and swimming pools, and libraries, etc. And nice landscaping, and fountains, and statues, and cobblestones, etc. The refugees from our Southern Border can help to do Construction Work to help to rebuild the storm damaged areas. We need to make everyone legal like Reagan did, and we need to put everyone to work building housing, and growing food, etc.

Salute,

The cost of living crisis is still very real for many people.
The $500,000 worth is in real estate ...their homes.
Asset rich, cash poor.

Housing is unaffordable until at least 2031
The research also forecasts that, without interventions to improve housing affordability, there will still be nowhere in Sydney where a median part-time or full-time income alone can afford to buy a home until at least 2031.
